PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS THURSDAY, MAY 6, 1937 P Comment Britain's on The Fence—Again The policy of the British government toward in civil war in Spain is one of the nearest jobs of fence-sitting in international circles in recent years. On one hand, big business in England feels that General Franco can best protect its interests in Spain. Hence they are on the side of the rebels. On the other are the rank and file of the British people, who hate France, fascism, and all it stands for. Trying to make both sides reasonably happy, the government has apparently elected to cast its vote with the winning side, whichever that may be. During the early months of the war, when it looked as though Franco would bring things to a speedy conclusion. Great Britain led in the forming of the non-intervention pact that virtually recognized France. Later, when the loyalists pulled through with a string of victories, England reversed her policy and aided a number of British food ships to break through the rebel blockade. At present no one knows who's going to win the war. But when the smoke of battle clears away, it's fairly certain that Great Britain will be found placidly sitting in the camp of the victor. Cleveland's Student Exchange Plan An international student exchange plan went into effect Monday in Cleveland's public schools when 100 German youths between the ages of 12 and 18 went to classes in order to become acquainted with America in their own way. These boys and girls will be quartered in Cleveland homes and attend regular school sessions until school closes, returning home on June 10, taking with them 100 Cleveland youngsters who will repeat the process in Berlin. Naturally, the plan has provoked bitter protest and criticism along the lines that American students in Germany would merely be fed Nazi propaganda. To this, proponents of the plan can answer that the German youths in America will learn of the benefits of freedom and independence. Despite these criticisms, the exchange has gone into effect, and two countries will be watching its results with interest. To many it seems a firm step in the direction of international peace. Even Spring Fever Can Be Complicated According to recent explanations by physicians and scientists, spring fever is not a more state of mind, demanding sulphur and molasses or sarsaparilla, but an actual physical condition. These explanations vary somewhat, but they all point to one major fact—the yawn, the dawdle, and the lack-luster eye are at last coming into their own. One group of physicians considers spring fever a simple thing, caused by hard work during the short days of winter and lack of sunshine and exercise with the natural reaction and a general desire to do nothing. They prescribe fresh air and sunshine, exercise, fruits and vegetables. Another school theorizes along different lines, applying the knowledge learned in the study of the endocrine systems of pigeons, rats, and rabbits, which has disclosed that each gland has a definite cycle, a definite seasonal rhythm, that brings about chemical and physical changes within the body. These changes in size and relationship to vital organs run strikingly parallel to sunshine and weather conditions. Although no such experiments have been tried on human beings, it seems reasonable to suppose that the same conclusions would be drawn. Then finally Dr. Clarence A. Mills, head professor of experimental medicine at the University of Cincinnati, makes the statement: "Scientific evidence accumulated in recent years indicates that man responds to his climatic environment in no uncertain manner. His energy level and vitality, his inventiveness and ingenuity, his progressiveness and ability One other group says simply that weather affects people by bringing about changes in blood pressure, muscular tension, and in the state of tissues throughout the body. The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Participation of student working conditions. 1. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore 4. An adequate building program, including: a. Construction of a medical science building. b. Addition to the stacks of the library. 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. to accomplish, all seem to depend largely on the degree of climatic stimulation to which he is subjected." Just spring fever, huh? These Emotional Babies One of the primary values of a college education is that it gives the student a new perspective, a new view of life. So often problems arise that are quite different from any he has previously known. For instance, this new life is usually spent in close contact with a group larger than a family, and one that feels less of the love that makes a family excuse faults of its members. In living with people, problems seem to arise because people can't get along with each other. The lot of students that go on to college are a fairly select group. They are usually pretty well developed at seventeen or eighteen as to physical and motor aspects but many are markedly immature emotionally. And in this immaturity lies many of the difficulties of group relationships. A person who is mature emotionally still has emotions but he learns to express them in an adult way. The main characteristic of emotional adulthood is that the person has a social outlook; he has lost his egocentric attitudes of childhood. He is more tolerant, can endure more, can be happier. When people realize that by giving vent to their feelings in the form of trunts, crying spells, hysteria, or regression they are showing that they are still emotional babies then they are ready for a forward step in the growing up process. It is an individual problem, for society has neglected this training while it has been busy training for physical health and intellectual attainment. College life would be more harmonious if students had attained a near adult level of emotional maturation when they meet the new situation of college life.

Psychology Clinic of University Experiments With Human Guinea Pigs By Maxine Fischer, cimel Five hundred "guinea pigs" a year for a clinical psychology class of 361. In this case the "guinea pigs" are human children and adults who voluntarily seek help. The psychology clinic, begun in 1927, was mainly established to give experience to the three or four students composing the class. Now the situation has shifted entirely around. The increase of the guinea pigs from a very small number to around 500 has given a new objective, that of helping the guinea pigs. The great majority of these 500 who appeal to the clinic are children of all types, ages and troubles. They are referred here by parents, teachers, orphanages in Kansas City, and by the Children's Home Office. In all, about 25 or 30 agencies take advantage of the University clinic. Children Present Problems Each child presents a different problem. In general, cases may be serious or difficult, mental deficiency, grade placement difficulties and personality adjustments. It is quite usual for a child to be sent to the clinic for examination because of low intelligence test scores and a suspicion of mental deficiency. Often this child may be found to be merely lacking in opportunities, or he may have defective hearing or vision holding him hook. Children who have developmental delay are no chance for development are sent to boarding homes. Children Present Problems First, a general intelligence test is given the child, a verbal quiz if the child cannot read. Then a performance test is given. Usually after this the psychologist is able to find him in the correct school grade. If the child is thought to be mentally deficient, a more complete study is made. Students make use of the medical and social worker's reports, and the background of the individual, in addition to various achievement tests in these cases. Recommendations for treatment are made to the parents and teachers, often resulting in developing a self-sufficient person out of a formerly delinquent child. Personality difficulties are common. Nervousness and emotional upsets are easily acquired by children whether they are calm, eratic or interested. Upsets Easily Acquired Even a few college students ask for special aptitude tests but there are no facilities for giving them to such institutions. The organization in the Administration building is small and most of the work of the type now done by the clinic "Abbot on Facts Added to Law Library "Abbot on Facts," Prof. P. W. Visselman's new book for the legal profession, has recently been added to the library of the School of Law. Professor Visselman's book, which is not a textbook but a reference volume for the use of attorneys in both civil and criminal cases, went on sale May 1. It is intended to be used in augmenting the user's knowledge of methods of proof when such arises. The book was published by the Lawyer's Co-operative Publishing company of Rochester, NY, and is arranged in encyclopedic form.

Psychology students go through a rigorous training in the technique of giving, scoring, and interpreting the tests. A good deal of background work in sociology or related subjects is necessary. Psychological clinics were one answer to that problem. necessitates going to the school or institution to examine the child The Roving Reporter Conducted by Fred Littov In establishing the clinic here at the University, the department was following the general trend which began about thirty years ago. People had been finding it essential to adjust themselves to the new age of mass production and life away from the home center. Following the example used by cities employing Daylight Savings Time, certain students have suggested that we step up the morning whistle a half an hour and scurry on. On the other hand, certain students, lured by the call of the woods every evening, can hardly be listed among those at 8 o'clock. Thus it seems quite appropos to ask, "Would you wear a coat of starting classes at 8 o'clock?" Marion Springer, c: 40. "Of course not. It's hard enough to arouse myself sufficiently from my lethargy to make an 8:30. Without that extra half an hour—well, you you've absolutely got to be properly dressed in these parts." There's a law against indecent exposure, so apparently you are playing by the rules. Bob White, c/ucell: "No. I'm in favor of 10 o'clock class. In fact, I'm in favor of no classes at all, I'd rather substitute trips to the city." Well, we do come to school for a liberal education, and there's no place like the city in which to enjoy freedom of action. Horace Mason, c'37: "People are always tired in the morning, so what's the use of adding to the dullness of a class by forcing a flock of snoring individuals to continue their snorts in a classroom?" There is a certain degree of consideration for the teachers that enters into the argument here, for what teacher would like to serve as competition to a sea of snoring slumbers? June Blaney, c'40: "Why, of course, should students at least." Either that's a very dirty crack, or she was thinking of starting in the evening. A thoughtful idea at that. Think of the interesting situations that might arise from such a schedule. Harry Moore, c'uncel: "Sure, let's have them. I'd get up just that much earlier in the morning, the day would be over sooner, and the nights would be over so much more pleasant."

Adelaide has taken a very definite stand on this question, which is not at all surprising, for she is a woman of strong will. It's this way. She is in favor of 8 o'clock classes, but qualifies the statement with the stipulation that all classes should be over at 9 and then day would be over at 9 and her thoughts could be turned to things other than classes. She is circulating a petition to this effect . . . the line forms to the right. Conducted by By Arthur Wolf On top of everything else that is distracting, women are always poking around in the spring making gentlemen wish they weren't and making life in general miserable. So, we thought: Why not throw all females out? The question: What would you think of banning the conventional aspects of K. U. and creating a school for men? The answers: Bob Beeler, c'40; "I'd think it was a gyp. How is a college boy to get an education if he must sit back and look at men all the time? You can learn nothing that way." Plainly speaking, Mr. Beeler believes that by looking and thinking one can imagine almost anything—and who will deny that imagination is half of education? Marian Morris, c'uncl! It's taking a lot for granted when you ask any girl to think about anything, but in this case Miss Morris was emphatic in thinking that, "Anything would be agreeable to me but that. If there was no room here for girls there would really be no excuse for coming to Lawrence, now would there?'" Since we are entirely lacking further information with which to inform her we would advise that the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce might be of aid in thinking up excuses—should this plan go through. Henry Lockmiller, b38: "Since all women are hecklers, there is no place for them in a great university such as ours. Understand that I am not heckled myself, nor am I the one who hood in general—HOWEVER, in the interest of science and clear thinking I will promote, yes, back, a plan such as this." Mr. Lockmiller really didn't say anything like this. He just looked it —and mullered All of which must indicate the above.

Too many times we have put our foot on fertile ground such as that and have found a young revolution growing there in leaps and bounds. It is most distressing to see the individuals in fire such rugged individuals of the opposite sex. Wally Weeks, c:39. He heisted his belt a full inch and a half and belowed forth on the following: "I'm absolutely in favor of making K.U. a man's school for men only. In fact, I'm in favor of almost anything. If I am asked I will personally take over the Chancellorship and supervision this remissance of the misogynist—if it takes a Chancellorship to do the job and if not I will give——" Note: Misogynist means a woman-hater—but we didn't have a thing to do with it.
