1.5 - UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XXXIV The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas NUMBER 156 Seniors Make Another Effort Officials Announce One More Valiant Attempt To Name Memorial The class of 37 continues its drive to hang up a new record for senior class meetings with another scheduled for 11:30 this morning in Frost theater. The business of the outgoing class has been transacted in one meeting in previous years, but disagreement on the senior memorial called for a second meeting, at which only five seniors appeared. Bob Childs, senior class president, looked hopeful when he made the announcement of the meeting, but said he refused to enter any high hopes after the disappointing turnout on Tuesday. Seniors have already Bob Childs, senior class posed hopeful when he made nouncement of the meeting; he refused to entertain a hopes after the disappointing Thursday. Seniors have availed themselves of the cut allowed in order to at class meeting, and class off been hard pressed to find which a maximum attend be expected.

LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 18. 1937 Lindley Stresses Mental Discipline in Talk "The young person today must think or starve," maintained Chancellor E. H. Linden in an address in Topeka before a gathering of honor students from Topaek High School, and justices from the Kansas supreme court, guests of the Rotary Club at luncheon Thursday. "I condemn the parent who sends a young son or daughter to college with the advice to make friends and not to devote too much time to study," Chancellor Lindley said. "This paradox is an indication of higher educational institutions." Throughout his talk he stressed the need for student recognition of the primary prime object of schooling to be taught discipline and ability to reason logically. Stoner Band Goes to Party G w i n n Henry Speaks Of Next Year's Foot- Ball Season Two hundred and thirty persons attended the joint University band and Kansas University club of Kansas City party at the Plaza Hall in Kansas City Friday night. Gwinn Henry, new athletic director at the University, was the principal speaker. A program by band members and dancing to Frank Bailey's band rounded out the evening. One hundred and sixteen of those present were band members, their friends, faculty members and their wives, and members of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, who participated in transportation for many of the students. Sigma Delta Chi, journalism fraternity and sponsor of the Sour Owl, will meet Thursday afternoon to choose the Sour Owl editor and business manager for next year. Applications for the two positions must be turned in to Dave Hamlin. The position is offered to or William Gill, Sigma Delta Chi head, by 6 o'clock Wednesday evening. The persons selected for the positions will have a chance to familiarize themselves with their new duties by assisting in the publication of material from the Owl, which is scheduled to appear shortly before final examinations. Sour Owl Heads Rusco Elected Kansan Publisher To Be Selected Thursday Rusco Elected Excavation for the building of a nurses' home will begin this week as soon as the state architect finishes the plans. Mrs. Watkins' latest donation of $30,000 provides for the building of this home, which will furnish more room in the hospital for patients. The nurses' home will be located south of the east wing of the hospital. Sun porches, made possible by a donation of Mrs. Elizabeth Watkins, are now being built on both ends of Watkins hospital and will be finished by the time school opens next fall. The porches will be one story high, with metal roofs, and will be used as convencible wards. The architect estimated the building estimated by the architects to be between $0000 and $0000. J. Howard Rusco, c38, was elected Enterprise Co With the tabulation of replies to an exploratory questionnaire almost completed, indications were last night that student opinion is unexpectedly favorable toward a proposal to make the Wassermann test for the detection of syphilis a part of the routine physical examination at the University beginning next fall. A poll of one-fifth of the student body to determine their sentiment on the Wassermann test project has been conducted by mail during the last two weeks by several students under the di- Pope Pius XI Suffers Relapse Syphilis War Gets Student OK 4.

Here is an example of a budding empire carrying nationalism to its farthest extreme. Perhaps the powers that be in Italy think that if another empire with which Italy is competing in the Mediterranean is made to disappear from sight in the papers, that empire will feel so abashed that it will promptly withdraw from Editorial Comment 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. Italy Gets Nasty Again If Italy were to act consistently in the matter, she would also refrain from any connection with Great Britain in commerce and trade. Where this path of action would lead is obvious. Moreover, international incidents have a habit of occurring in these fascist countries, and it is not unlikely that Italy will soon find herself pitted against the world. Tribulations, Graduation . Hi Ho The recent action of the Roman press in omitting all mention of Great Britain and her provinces appears not only stupid and vindictive, but a very poor policy in case the move is followed to its logical conclusion. To the average college student graduation comes not so much from satisfactorily passing the required courses, as from successfully following the volumes of instructions enforced by the administration. Many University students are prone to wonder, especially during enrollment, if they will ever reach the goal, known as graduation. Because the faculty has set down such a multitude of rigid rules, such as having so many junior-senior hours, so many hours in certain g. cups, not too many hours in one department, specific restrictions on enrolling in too many hours in one department in one semester, etc., the average student is not able to remember all the do's and don'ts. The tradgedy of the whole thing is that many students go until their last semester before they are informed that they have too many hours of English, and five will not be counted, or that they will be required to earn a three point average their last semester, in order to receive their diploma. However, a good many seniors sighed early this spring, when after a short visit to the registrar's office, they were informed that smooth sailing was ahead. Many quietly complimented themselves that they were not only able to successfully pass their undergraduate courses, but they also possessed the intelligence to follow all enrollment instructions satisfactorily. But, this last week, a new blow has hit the proud senior. The shock comes in the form of a pamphlet, simply titled "Senior Reminder." This four paged booklet contains enough instructions to turn the average senior's hair grey. He must obtain his cap and gown at a certain time, return it promptly on another date, practice now for this, then for that. He must remember certain rules for a rainy day, and an entirely different set of regulations for the sunshine. 2. Addition to the stacks of the library. SUNDAY, MAY 16, 193 competition. Such childish actions on the part of a country that calls itself an empire would seem incredulous were they not true. Babes in the Woods? Okay. In Shows? Never! There's nothing like the lusty bawl of a babe in arms to spoil the best of movies. Compared with these miniature sirens, pop corn eaters, gum poppers, and raucous laughter pale into insignificance. As if to encourage this vicious practice of taking infants to the cinema, most theater managers allow them admittance free of charge. Perhaps it is a convenience for parents to bring their young children to the picture show, but it is in keeping with the principles of American democracy that the rights of the masses should be sacrificed to the conveniences of the few? If it is, we object. Moreover, the fact that this practice is not always for the best is borne out by a tragedy that occurred recently when a baby suffocated in the arms of its mother, who was watching a motion picture. The moral of this story is plain. For the best interests of the baby, the parents, and the public—keep infants away from the movies. Editor Daily Kat Campus Opinion We Thank You Official University Bulletin I wish to compliment the Kansan for its courage in daring to bring the discussion of gonorrhea and syphilis into the open. Doctors have agree for years that the treatment of these diseases before their inroads may be checked. It is gratifying to see that the Kansan is taking a lead in bringing such knowledge out of the medical journals to the open where the average person has a chance to take any other papers follow up on our Daily Kansan.

Ann Arbor, Mich.-University of Michigan students congregating in Jurants and plotting the overaw of the government was the ture painted recently by the Rev. Joseph A.

Some Detroit students com- mitted on the grounds that there no study halls and that the pra- ce of studying in empty class- rooms is discouraged, and that the be place to go is to a restaurant. The News said that one woman student said that Malia Coun- se T.
