It's Anything But a Snap, Boys
With the introduction of plans for the four-year course in physical education, which will be offered by the School of Education next fall, comes the idea to the minds of many that perhaps this new curriculum is being added to setup a snap education for the athletes, many of whom in the past, have proved themselves to be very mediocre students.
However, the new course, designed to prepare the prospective coach or director of physical education with adequate professional training, on close inspection will show the dubious that it was set up as anything but a "pipe" course. Graduates of this school will be required to have cumulative grade points totaling 140, with an average of 1.5 in their major. Students enrolled in the college are required to pass 124 hours, as will be the athletes enrolled in the new course, but the college requires only 124 grade points for graduation, and no added grade point average in the major department.
The curriculum for the four years training leaves very few electives for the student. During his freshman year, the athlete is allowed from eight to ten hours of electives; in his sophomore year he is entitled to five to seven hours of elective work, but it must be in his academic minor; his junior year offers him eight to ten hours of free choosing, part of which must be in his minor subject; in the senior year he is allowed from 14 to 16 hours of electives. During the four-year period, the candidate for the Bachelor of Science in Education is required to pass courses in education, English, biology, history or economics, physiology, psychology, speech (so that he can give speeches before the Rotary club, etc.), and sociology.
For many years the University has offered a major in physical education, but the students was not allowed to begin this major until his junior year. Thus, in his last two years of school his time was almost completely filled with his major subjects and the 19 hours required in the School of Education in order to obtain a teacher's certificate. This new set-up is not entirely a new innovation, as only 12 new courses were added, either for the men or women. The major change is that much of the physical education courses, which were formerly offered to upper classmates have been pushed forward and are now offered to freshmen and sophomores.
Very few jobs in the state of Kansas offer only coaching positions. Most of the high school coaches are also required to teach history, algebra, etc. Coaches did not have time in their junior and senior years at college to include specialized subjects, and for this reason had to spend an extra year in college gaining added knowledge, or else be incompetent as a teacher.
With such a curriculum as the new plan offers, it is probable that in the future the University will turn out men and women well trained for coaching positions and to become directors of athletics, with a wide, comprehensive education as a background.
Two Reports On Syphilis—Very Different
"Denmark, Norway, and Sweden with a combined population of about fourteen millions produced only 1,600 cases of syphilis in 1933, while Illinois with less than eight million persons, reported 13,389 cases during the same year," says the Illinois Health Messenger.
"Conservatively estimated, about six million persons throughout this country are infected with syphilis, although not one in ten are under treatment by a licensed physician," reports the American Social Hygiene Association.
The chief reasons for the low rate in the Scandinavian countries seems to be due to the compulsory notification and compulsory treatment of those infected. The dreaded moral stigma which attaches itself to the victims in our nation has been greatly overcome by the Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians by their enforced medical practices.
Our prevalent taboo of not "talking of venereal diseases because it isn't nice," is just a "hang over" from the Victorian period, and has resulted in ignorance of the subject, and a consequent lack of doing anything helpful for it.
The oft raised cry of infringement on personal rights and freedom in this country would

not fit here. No individual's freedom extends to the limit of being able to infect others with syphilis.
Syphilis and other venereal diseases can be controlled. As a first step in this direction, we should follow the example of the Scandinavia countries. Do away with sham and hypocrisy learn the actual facts and the care for syphilis and make it available to everyone. Tuberculosis has been controlled through such a car pailn, and syphilis can go the same way.

Editor Daily Kansan:
1 notice the Mid-Weday is cancelled this Wednesday for the Lawrence High-Home Banquet, whatever the day.
I understand the mid-week are paid for out of the activity ticket. Perhaps some one can cut straight through the mid-week and be in Mid-West is for the University students, and is held in a University building, and is being cancelled in favor of other places.
The Union building was not set up for profit, so it is claimant but these two Wednesdays gave the lie to me. I am told that they are available and I can't see the necessity for (turning a perfectly good dance floor into a place to meet) with them.
The reason I'm objecting to this policy of giving, over the dance floor to hungry organizations is that I one of that large class of "unfortunate" who are not able to perform in public due to fraternity and sorority affairs, and due to a dearness of Saturday night variations, find the Mid-Week about the only relaxation outside of a show to be found in
The Mid-Week, though razzed, cussed, and discussed, still is the attraction for a lot of boys and girls. Let's let the breadline hunt up somewhere else to squat. B. B.

Radical Changes in Men's Clothes Popularize Checks and Stripes in Color
Just as interest in styles is sawing high as to the correct clothing for men to wear to the coronation, the males at the University of Kansas have just burst forth in an array of new spring clothes with perhaps the most radical changes in dress. The breasted suits made their debut. Style in men's tops reached a new high and a claixs this spring when a brigade of cheeks, stripes and vivid colors were ushered in as the correct thing. No longer is it necessary for the well-dressed man to labor in matching up a costume in harmony in warmth since today calls for a full-sleeved top.
Last Year Suits Out of Style
Any man who thinks he can get out his gray suit of last spring and be correctly dressed, as has been possible in past years, is badly misunderstood. The past will be supplanted with slacks of one weave and a sport coat of another. The coat will probably have a pair of vents, several pleats and no doubt a belted back. Bottle greens and navy blues with horse-blanket checks will be the vogue in slacks. With these a cloth jacket corresponding color will be purchased.
Frank Warren, Phi Delt, sets the pace in matching up slacks and sports coats. His combinations of berringbone slacks with sport coat of gray check and overlaid of red make a striking outfit for spring.
One of the hill's better dressers, McCrick Curnick, Beta, leads the shirt competition in an green goberdine suit worn with a plain white button-down collar shirt and green tie to match make a striking costume and rests the eye from the loud checks and stripes.
One of the less-conservative bits of spring haberdashery is worn by Charles Williams of Delta Chi. His striking sport coat of white palm beach with large two-lipped plaid shirt of dark brown color and tactive pair of slacks of brown and tan stripe.
Bright Colors Are Popular
Color for men is brought out mainly this spring in the nutty new slacks of various colors. Greens, marrows and navy blues are all common. Bob Corey, Sigma Nu. was recently seen on the campus in a brown shirt that slacks worn with a brown sweat coat.
Charles Nicholas, Phi Delt, wears an eye-catching sport coat of brown with an overplaid of orange. With this he wears oxford gray slacks which will well illustrates the face that anything matches this season.

Shirts for spring may consist of one of several kinds. The cover-all or "Gaucho" as worn by Jack Carlson after having a popular season on the west coast lost summer have become more popular to hit their peak in popularity this summer. Polo shirts are again in vogue this season. Aside from a little additional collar and new styled buttons and draw-strikes the polo shirts will remain practically the same. Collared shirts of sage green or blue madras with double French white starched cuffs and white collars will solve the shirt situation on more formal occasions.
Anything goes!

In this busy age, things made by Western Electric appear on all sides.

That is why Western Electric is called "the leader in sound-transmission."
