Comment
Phoney Pearls, Real Swine—Bab!
Something new in the way of definitions comes from one who should know whereof he speaks—Jacob G. Lipman, dean of the Agricultural College of Rutgers University, Saves the
A professor is one who casts imitation pearls before real swine.
A dean—Not smart enough to be a college professor, but too smart to be a college president.
A president — Not good, nough to be a professor, but too good to be a dean.
An alumnus—One who holds the president and faculty responsible for the success of the football team.
A trustee—One who has nightmares about endowments.
The dean said he had nothing to add to the implied definition of a student contained in his definition for a professor.
So there.
Lynching And States Rights
One of the most spectacular scenes that the house of representatives has witnessed during this session of congress occurred last Friday when, after six hours of debate marked by sectional bitterness, the Gavangan Anti-Lynching Bill was passed, 277 to 119.
The Southernners lost their three-day battle to defeat the measure on the ground that it is an invasion of States' rights. Chief speaker for the opposition was Chairman Sumners of the Judiciary Committee, who asserted that the country was suffering from "Federalalism," or a movement to give the Federal Government more power.
However this may be, there have been a number of times when federal intervention in criminal matters, constitutionally the business of the states, has made for a marked improvement in the administration of justice; such was the creation of the Federal Department of Justice, whose now famous "G Men," through their efficiency and bravery in hunting down criminals, have done much to halt the wave of gang rule, which for a time seemed in a fair way to be dominating the country.
Whether the Gavagan Bill will prove as valuable in halting lynchings as the "G" men have in halting gang rule remains to be seen. But the very fact that an attempt has been made to stamp them out should mean something.
If intelligent Southerners are sincere in their proclaimed desire to abolish the horror of lynchings, it is difficult to understand why they oppose with such bitterness a bill that can certainly do no harm, and may possible partly accomplish its objective.
Gossip is flitting over Europe, linking the names of Chancellor Hitler and Polo Negri, the movie actress, in a romantic way. We decline to become excited until the rumors have it that the Fuehrer may abdicate for that reason.—Kansas City Kansan.
An Orchid Or So To The Deserving Ones
Now that the Kansas Relays are over, it would be well to pause and give hearty thanks to those responsible for its success, Mr. Ed Elbel and the Relays committee.
The work of Mr. Elbel and the Relays committee is long, tedious, and thankless. It was estimated by one of the junior members of the committee that over 50 hours were spent in preparation for the Relays, excluding the two complete days in which the event was run.
The first job of the Relays committee, about two months before the event, is sending announcements to every college in the country and every high school in Kansas. These announcements are followed in a few weeks by entry blanks. When the entries come in, it is the duty of the Relays committee to compile and arrange them in an orderly manner. For the coach of every team, a folio must be prepared with directions, schedule, notes on accommodations, etc. included. The name and number of every entry must be checked for the program that is published by this committee. It is easily seen that innumerable tasks fall on the shoulders of the Relays committee in preparation for the Kansas Relays, but on the days of the Relies even more duties present themselves. On those days the committeemen

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.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore.
b. Addition to the stacks of the library.
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
find their time crowded summoning athletes, announcing results, and, in general, putting on the show. Those two days are long and hard, but, after the work is over, all that these men have received by way of emolument is a good sunburn.
And so we wish to speak the heretofore unvoiced gratitude of the students in this University to Mr. Elbel and the Relays committee for an athletic event which has reached prominence in the national athletic world, and which we all thoroughly enjoyed.
And Still They Stick To Black
According to a recent announcement made by Carl E. Newcomer, state vehicle commissioner, the Kansas motor car license tags for 1938, which are now being manufactured at the State Reformatory in Hutchinson, will be changed in size.
Since the rear tags have to be bent to fit many of the newer models of automobiles, the length of the new tag has been shortened from fourteen and one-half to twelve and one-fourth inches. In order that the abbreviated plate may contain all the necessary information, the width has been increased from four and one-half to five and three-fourths inches.
Next year's license plates will have white numerals on a black background. Apparently Kansas has a long lease on the use of black paint, for Jayhawker cars have been adorned for three successive years with tags dressed up in the old stand-by. It seems as though we will wish in vain for a brighter color on our tags. Other states use color combinations that are noticeable and attractive in making license plates, but Kansas clings tenaciously to its dull and lifeless colors.
Let us hope that some day Kansas car tag makers will run out of their favorite paint and will use colors that will make our tags as outstandingly attractive as those of some of our sister states.

Proves a True Confidant
It is in Miss Miller that women students find a sympathetic listener to lodging misfits, social problems, emplo-
nishable occupations, and innumerable other worries.
By Maxine Paisley, Cincinnati.
I sat stiffly on the edge of the soft, pillows of the sofa, waiting. The young woman at the desk smiled resurrectingly at me, while集中地看着学生. I mid-July and I, fresh and green from Junior College, and with the prospect of a year away from home at the University was definitely in need of advice. I felt certain that the friendly young woman at the desk could not be the aw-ina-spiring assistant adviser of women with whom I had an appointment, so I grinned back. A few moments passed. When a page of my magazine was finally turn to bits, the student left, and Miss Miller said pleasantly, "I believe you're next?" In some way, I can never remember how, I managed to get to the "conference" chair and almost immediately chatting quite informally with this tall, small young woman dressed in some sort of crisp, blue linen. This was my first acquaintance with Miss Marie Miller, the quiet-manned farm girl from Macon, Missouri who scoots the

She has a vivid memory and a faculty for recalling names. You sense at once her intense interest in you as a person. Through some intempile method Miss Miller meets you as an equal, perhaps because she is at the same general age level of most of the women students.
Perhaps it is the calmness in her blue eyes or the candle in her wide smile that makes its appeal. Whatever it is, she definitely offers a bid for your confidence. Instinctively, I have heard many girls say the same, but I'm not sure. It is a private conversation and will remain a closed matter between you.

The time has come when the student body in toto has begun counting the days remaining before that last final is over, much after the manner the local papers employ in counting the remaining shopping days before Christmas. Since those days are rather scarce in number, we are wondering, "Are you anxious for vacation to come?"
Lawrence Birney, c'99: "Yes, I am not particularly optimistic about what the rest of the year holds for me. I can't see anything but a sordid finish." For gosh sakes, why come in the first place? Perhaps the coming events didn't cast their shadows before them in time.
Jane Allen, c37: "Yes, I am. I just think it would be a good idea for me to get a rest. I'm a little tired of it all." It's an old maxim that everything must have its cause. It'll give you three guesses as to the cause.
Paul Trees, b37; "Not particularly. I'm having a good time (one guess will give the answer to this). When vacation comes for me it's either going to be one big vacation or no vacation at all." There are many people who believe that the school's primary function in your case is to provide means for procrastination, Angel Face.
Mary K. Dorman, c37: "No, since I'll never be in school again . . . and that's a funny feeling, believe it or not." All of which moves us to strike a very sympathetic chord of Auld Laird Syne.

Bill Blair, c'93: "Yes. I'm getting fed up with the whole outfit. Studios and spring nights come under the same heading as Kipling's attitude toward the East and West." "Remember, we came to college to study, I grew longer under the stars murmuring sweet nothings promiscuously.
Betty F. Smith, c39: "Of course not. I'll have to leave my fellow." Sprawled comfortably across the table was 'Frost' Hardy, beaming contentedly, the perfect picture of a man whose last worry has suddenly been eradicated.
