Comment
Turn The Clock Abead
After months—even years—of discussions in organized houses and in small, unofficial groups on the Hill, the Women's Self Governing Association has finally taken up the matter of the inconsistencies and unjustness of the University's closing hours for women.
At the present time co-eds are required to be in their respective houses at 12:30, and to the majority of Hill house mothers a violation of this rule—to the extent of over a half hour, is a major offense and subject to serious punishment. In fact, a committee has been set up by the Council to deal with violators, who are reported by their house mothers.
The unfairness of the entire situation lies in the fact that some of the chaperones grant their girls late permission when it is deemed necessary, while others will allow no one to enter later than 12:45 without suffering for it. College women should naturally be under some supervision, but with these inflexible closing hours women are encouraged to stay out all night rather than return to their house late and suffer the punishment.
With Lawrence so close to the allegedly gay night life of Kansas City, college students can't be expected to be immune to its lure. Yet it is almost impossible to enjoy the gaiety of the city and yet return for closing hours.
If the W.S.G.A. council could see the wisdom in permitting each woman to have three 2:30 nights a semester, late dates and all night dates would be on the decline—and Hill rules would be in step with rapid transportation and modern times.
The Spanish war has progressed to the state where it's inconsistent for either side to predict an "early" victory.
Conspiracy, That's What It Is
The United States Lines is unable to get a new passenger liner constructed because American shipyards are so congested with the keels of new warships that there just isn't room. We wish it were the other way around.
Time was when the United States merchant marine was one of the finest in the world. Now it is decidedly weak. Such things as the navy, however, for whom the taxpayer hands out the mazuma, always manage to keep up with the other powers.
And now, when there's a chance to add at least one ship to the merchant marine, it can't be done. Ah, us, the country's going to the dogs. Or is it war?
The umpires must have conspired with the athletic association to keep pop away from the ball games.
Come, Come
Thorndike Old Fellow
According to Dr. Edward L. Thordnike, psychologist at Teachers College, Columbia University, extra hours of leisure for man would be used for fun, not self improvement, as some "moralists" claim. His conclusions are based on a study of leisure time made by six psychologists.
While he does not openly say so in his statement, it is evident from the attitude he takes that Dr. Thorndike considers time spent in mere fun and pure entertainment not worth increasing.
What the doctor needs is a long vacation.
Our Fading Civil Rights
Everyday new incidents arise give examples of the growing tendency in the United States toward depriving citizens of their civil rights. Such stories have never been unique—had they been, little alarm would need to be shown over them—but the fact that for years these same problems have been with us, and the prospects of them diminishing in number is not in the offing, makes one wonder to what extent we have our civil rights.
In the last few years we have heard a great deal about certain states requiring teacher and professors to pledge their loyalty to the Constitution. Now in Massachusetts arises the case of the Opleouki children. These three youngsters were sentenced to a reform school because they refused to salute the flag on the ground
The Kansan Platform
1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program.
2. Betterment of student working conditions.
3. 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.
that their religious belief permitted them to pledge allegiance only to God.
Although not depriving individuals of free dom of religion, a similar case has arisen in Kansas. Here, a member of the state board o review has deleted a portion of this month's March of Time newsreel. No other state in the Union has taken exception to the remarks made by a United States senator on an important issue of the day.
The constitution gives us civil rights, but there seem to be a large number of individuals who are attempting to cheat the American citizens out of these liberties.
The Mills of the Anti-Nazis Grind Slowly
Despite the secret police, anti-Hitler propaganda is beginning to circulate through Germany once again. Recently the German mails contained a manifesto of the "German Liberty party" summoning the aid of all loyal Germans to free their nation from the National Socialist rule and demanding a consensus of opinion on the question of Germany participation in the Spanish internal war. The envelopes bore German postmarks.
The authors of the declaration wrote that the German liberty party is a fraternal band of men and women who are conscious of only one duty—to serve Germany. "Its pride is youth in the schools and universities who seek to develop and further Germany's world famous science. This youth will conquer for Germany that place in the world that it has lost.
"Fight against the exaggerated autarchic economy that is ruining Germany's commerce, robbing the people of butter and raising the price of butter."
This literature closely resembles the statements made over a private communist radio station which the secret police finally succeeded in discontinuing, but in the groups suspected to be co-operating with this movement the communist party is not included.
This secret propaganda being circulated is not the first sign of political unrest which has been exhibited in Germany. Action on the part of the anti-Hitlerites is cautious and slow, but perhaps some day this under current will be the Waterloo of the Hitler regime.
Why hasn't some punster referred to all those epithets flying between la Guardia's New York and Hitler's Germany as "Nazi" cracks?"

Graduate Student Likes To Work In Bug - House — Traces Insect Habits
By Ralph Bryant, 'cunel. At least one fellow likes to work in a bug-house! He's Milton W. Sanderson, gr, and the bug-house is the Snow Entomological museum in hull. Mr. Sanderson's baby is being taken to June-bugs (Searabaeidae) and includes identification of different species to add to the museum's collection of June-bugs.
By Ralph Bryant clinel
In Douglass county one can almost set his watch by the appearance of mannequins to emerge from their diurnal activities, or their nocturnal activities at exactly
Sanderson's work is entirely aside from his thesis on water-betweens. The group which he is studying now contains 120 different kinds, whereas at the beginning there were only 60. The June-bug collection of Snow-seum, presumably the largest in the United States, contains 114 species.
Start Flying in April
In Kansas the June-bags have a three-year life cycle. Thus in some years they are abundant and in other years their number is comparatively small. The insects start flying about the last of April. Soon they number to the lights, causing them to lead against screens and become a serious pest when allowed to enter houses where they can congregate around lamps. The peak of abundance comes about the last May or the first part of June.

8:10 p.m. They fly until about 11 o'clock or later, sometimes feeding on leaves in such a great mass that they sound like a swarm of bees in a tree. By midnight they nearly all "turn in."
Carried on Intensive Study For the last four summers Sanderson, through the aid of several correspondents, has carried on an intensive study of the annual appearances of the June-bugs. From Georgetown, the numbers of them are discovered during the waning days of February. In Texas James Brennan, 23, has observed their coming about the middle of March, although only three species have yet begun to fly. The June-bugs have emerged in Tulsa, College Station, Tex., and other points in that territory, gradually working up north. One of the species that has come the coming of summer and indicate the change of the season.
