This Is Not Germany —Or So It Is Alleged
A social science instructor in a nearby junior college, executive board member of the city's Consumer Co-operative, learned three hours before it was time to sign next year's contracts that his was not to be renewed. He had assured worried friends "My position is safe. This isn't Germany."
In a few days the students of the college were aroused. They requested three newspapers to print the story—even the bare fact that the contract had expired. It seemed, however, that all the editors felt it necessary to protect the poor teacher from such publicity.
A committee of students asked hearings before the Board of Education. They were told to appear at a regular evening meeting and did —to find empty chairs awaiting them. The Board forgot!
The instructor remains an idealist. He is trying to persuade indignant classes that although some things may be beyond their understanding, "this is not Germany."
New York State Takes a Forward Step
Over the protests that "the innocence of little children" might be corrupted by widespread use of the word syphilis, the New York legislature recently passed the Andrews bill, designed to aid the state campaign against the disease.
Senator Jacob L. Schwartzwald, who guided the bill through the Senate, declared that the measure, which creates a division of syphilis control in the State Department of Health, will help to eliminate the blind fear of the word, which many doctors contend, causes failure to obtain treatment in many cases.
Although progress in joining the fight against syphilis and taboo has been cautious, several newspapers and radio stations have already enlisted in support of the cause. If in other states in the Union, newspapers, and radio stations would aid in this battle for freedom from venereal diseases, the American public would become syphilis conscious, and ignorance would no longer be a cause for the suffering and enormous amount of deaths from such diseases.
Invaluable Courses vs. Unvaluable Courses
Frequently around the campus we hear suggestions for much needed and beneficial courses which the University is not offering. Upon investigation the answer to the absence of many of these subjects in our curriculum is the fact that these courses are too professional. Educators seem to sneer on anything that seems to be actually training college men and women for a definite place in the business world.
Yet with the era of prosperity returning to the American people, prospects of jobs for college seniors are brightening. The employers, however, are not merely clamoring for the average college graduate, but are seeking seniors who have been trained in a technical field and are prepared to enter a definite line or work. True, many companies are offering a brief period of schooling for new employees in order to educate them in the framework of the business, but a few months training comes only to those who have been sufficiently coached in a particular field.
Universities should enrich students' cultural background and also offer college students the knowledge they will need to know in the business world. Smatterings of Greek and history are all right for filling groups, but they do little to aid the student applying for a position in a specialized field. Courses which would be of invaluable aid in the world have too long been delayed. Professional or not, they should be offered.
King's English As She Ain't Spoke
The diction of the average college student is atrocious. By a mixture of lazy enunciation, slovenly ellisions, grunts and nasal snarls plus numerous slang short-cuts and time-savers students have originated a patios hardly recognizable as English.
Some learned bad English at home and are not conscious of their errors. But there are many others who know better who continue to

talk in shorthand monosyllables. Once this habit is acquired, it is only with effort that a presentable diction may be regained. It is difficult to give up a fast method of conveying ideas. We must fight the natural tendency to speak like our associates who keep the old phrases and constructions fresh in our ears.
Heedless regard for language is excusable in college where it is often considered clever, collegiate, and smart. But after graduation Joe will find to his chagrin that men with a precise, grammatically correct manner of speaking coupled with a cultured, well-modulated tone are at a distinct advantage.

What! A Mourning Dove?
Editor Yvette Kinnard
Fitting frettly from far-off fastnesses, a pink Dandelion would work well to defend the Garden's wool tightly behind the blushing plisse) struggled mightily to keep from turning green with envy on beholding what it interpreted as a pacifist
If the Dove were a publication ("University of Kansas, Vol. XI, No. 1") instead of a carrier pigeon, it would incorrectly call it a stock pigeon—this homely phoenicotine to it. But also like the phoenicotine of yore, only while glowing warm from the heat of the embers of fire habitats can the Dove flutter from Heliopols to Oceania.
And what has ruffled the feathers of this incredibly sensitive artistic chicken? Hush while the Dove garrisoned even. "He-called a meeting—taking great pleasure in it," he said, "the magnitude of this unpardonable offense can hardly be appreciated when it is realized that all the members of the Board of the Dove are also members of the ASU.
Can it—illy speculation—can it be that on fiercely gentle creature is a mourning dove?

American colleges and universities are a contributing and constructive force in modern dance music. According to Hai Kemp, popular orchestra leader, the college campus does not only set the vogue in dance trends but it goes even further by furnishing personal resources for students as teachers and in giving students with musical ability an opportunity to pay their way through a college education.
BURNESS MANAGER... F. QUENTIN BROWN
On college campuses throughout the country today, several thousand young men are earning their way through school by playing for fraternity and sorority dances as well as those sponsored by the school. Some of these men are descendants of students on the bands of the next decade. Here on the campus of the University of Kansas we have two top-netch bands which are headed by "Red" Blackburn and Louie Kuhn. The members of these two organizations will no doubt make their mark in the music world as have those who started the same way. Red

Some of the more notable examples of men who started in their undergraduate days include Rudy Vallée and his Connecticut Yankees which started as a campus band at Yale; Fred Waring and his Pennsylvaniaians which was organized at Pennsylvania State; Ozzie Nelson who played a half dozen instruments in a campus band at Rutgers; and many for his theme song; and Kay Kyser who still has most of the boys who played in his original outfit at the University of North Carolina.

degrees. An example is the University of Wisconsin which several years ago established a student night club, with music and floor shows furnished by student entertainers. This idea was recently taken up by the University of Iowa and there are several other universities in the country which are considering it.
Of course all the men playing in college bands today will not be great leaders. Some are contemplating other careers, others do not have the ability to weather the storms of competition. But it will be to the band that played the formal party in '37 that the major orchestra leader of 1950 will owe his start in the music world.

"I was very glad to receive your fine letter, though I am sorry to say I cannot think ducky could be learnt by correspondence. It needs a man at hand, with sword in his fist.

"As I see, you must not care about King Edward now, for he was un polite enough not to accept invitation to your burg. As for me, you must not fear for your local queen, my wife not for your own wife with the lief of my sister.
"Dr. Franz Sarga."
"My adventures will soon be published in the U.S.A. I hope you and your fellow citizens will eagerly read it. At having an opportunity, I would be awfully glad to visit your town, if it really consists of such he-men as you seem to be. Besides, you could teach me in exchange how to fight more adversaries in your good old western fashion. Very truly yours."
Repairs are that Merrill is taking daily workouts with his fencing foll and that he is becoming an able antagonist. Sarga is an ardent follower of the old Teuton school of saber fighting.

Boston, May 10.—(UP) —If Arthur Fulgrer Flyer's experiment is successful, physicians will be carrying portable phonographs along with pills and stethoscopes and hospitals might become "concert halls." Fulgr, a Boston University graduate student, is studying musical coetherapy, the application of music to cases of personality disorders.
"Any personality or nervous disorder responds to music," he says. "Music can make the whole person laugh, cry, sing, express emotionally to the type of music his personality requires, it will help him to get a new grip on life."

Prize Draft Horses Will Draw Queen's Cart At Michigan Ag Carnival
East Lansing, Mich., May 10—(UP) All-Alt Carnival and Open House, first event of its kind to be held on the 80-year-old Michigan State College campus, is scheduled May 21.
sponsored by the Agricultural Council, of which D. J. Hankinson, Morrice, Mich., is president, the program will offer featured displays of machinery and equipment in the various agricultural departments. This will be held in the evening featuring the college's best amateur talent.
Plans are being completed for the selection of the All-Ag queen, who will reign over the one-day celebration. A queen, chosen from members of the home economies, veterinary medicine, biology, and agricultural divisions of the school, will first officiate at the Coronation hall May 14, and on the following day a humane carnival parade through the streets of Lanning and East Lanning.
