An Open Letter
To Legislator Edward Hackman
Edward Heycken,
Kansas Legislature,
Topke, Kansas.
Dear Sir:
It has come to our attention that you are the individual directly responsible for naming our auditorium Hoch auditorium. We hope you're sorry.
Who was this fellow Hoch, anyway, that he deserves to have a building named for him? Just another Kansas governor, from all we can gather; one with a curious name.
Rumor has it that the honorable governor didn't even send his children to the University, but rather to Northwestern. Is that any reason for naming a building for him?
No, a bronze tablet in Topeka would be better, although of course it might cost something.
Sincerely,
The University Daily Kansan.
U. S. Newspapers--- Coloring As Is Coloring
Great is the Americana or the editorial page which blithely condones employers who disobeyed the Wagner Labor Relations Act on the ground it would be found unconstitutional, yet which announces firmly that sit-down strikers are kidnappers, holding a plant for ransom. They guessed wrong in the first instance, and it is just possible that they may be wrong in the second.
These same editorial pages which were proving after last November that Roosevelt did not have a landscape are now insisting that a five-to-four decision is a landslide in favor of enlightened interpretation. So much for higher mathematics.
In the meantime, what of the newspapers which try all cases, murders and Supreme Court decisions alike, and announce the results long before real judicial bodies have heard the evidence? Are the American people dependent upon headlines the day after a momentous decision? "The Republic is Safe" to be moderately sure of the fact? Or is it possible that the real men to freedom of the press, that over-exclamatory expression, lies more in coloring the news, trifling with the facts, and veneering the unsavvy truth with rhetorical mahogany than in allowing reporters to organize under a constitutional, if to some an unpopular, law?
At the present time, it seems probable that a circus-loving nation is going to watch the world's least hampered press stunt itself out of influence, if not existence.
Pity Infinitives; They're Split Wide Open
The poor little infinitive has been bounced around so much that it probably wishes it were in Timbuccio. Not only is it split consistently and unrecognizably, but now it finds that its former protector, the English professor, no longer protests the splitting.
Maybe so.
The latest split infinitive advocate to break into print is Dr. Walter Barnes of New York University who thinks it would do some people good to take a half hour off every morning before breakfast and split infinitives.
But there seems to be two main classes of people—those who recognize and understand infinitives and those who don't. Since the former class would be unlikely to go out of its way to split infinitives, and since the latter class wouldn't be concerned anyway, it seems probable that the license recommended by the professor will affect but few.
They're At It Again, These Fascists
What is purported to be the most complete list of Italian Jewish surnames in existence was recently printed by the Roman newspaper, Tevere, which has always occupied a prominent place in the anti-Jewish campaigns that make their appearance every now and then in Italian newspapers.
What the object of the list is remains somewhat of a mystery, unless the newspaper intends to suggest, as seems probable, that persons whose names appear on the list are bad or doubtful Italians, of whom the mass of the population should beware.
What a fix we would be in in this country if
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.
a like list of American Jewish names were published and we were inclined to take the warning seriously. The stage and movie productions we would feel free to attend would lose much of the first rate talent they now possess, and the great majority of our radio comedians would have to be turned off the air.
There are, of course, other phases of life in which the men high in public affairs bear Jewish names. Jewish educators, professional men, financiers and manufacturers are so wide spread and so well known that it is obvious what a large part this people has played in the development of civilization and society.
The effect of a strict anti-Jewish campaign has already been seen in Germany. The printing of Italian Jewish names in the Televise shows the influence of the Nazis, but it is to be hoped such childish and utterly unreasoning actions will not spread over the entire Italian peninsula.
Campus Opinion
The Guy's Right
Editor Daily Kansan:
After a rather intensive survey, I am able to present the following facts:
1. Professors seem to be of the opinion that they are the only one who give out work- term papers, referees and so on.
"I practice practically every student on the Hill compartment." Conclusion: It is therefore impossible for them to employ good things in life. Can they based in the warm if belfast or the cold if Glasgow, available time in the library or at home studying while preparing?
and flat.
Let's get up a petition or something. Or, better yet,
let's hold a Peace-Mind Strike.
Is This A Charm School?
Editor Daily, Kanyan

Editor Daily Kansan:
"College women have an advantage over non-college women in securing and holding positions because they are more self-reliant, more social and personal attractiveness, as well as courage, ingenuity, and reliability," said a guest speaker on his tour.
If this is true, I can't see why we need to come to education. We already have plenty of tactless, unreliable半身-wits, leaving diplomas. I suppose they'll get jobs and the "brain storm" high school graduate will lose out in compari-
If all a woman needs to get a position are the requisites mentioned by this speaker, then give me college or work she entered to me that a woman leaves college with little experience when she entered this institution of higher learning—and if she's unattractive when she came, the possi-ness she are won't look much better when she leaves.
Surely a college education must be of more value than merely these social qualities. If there isn't any difference in this, let's turn this school into a charm institution that will help the fund of developing our personalities? . P.C.

By Bob Richardson, c. 37 Spring is here. The Kansan has just published the first editorial on the birds, the bees and the dandelions. The old saw "In the spring a young man's fancy" is dusted off and brought into use again because he was more clever to describe the psychological phenomenon so evident around us.
Any place where gather large numbers of young men and young women, is necessarily a fertile field of activities. Our campus no exception.
Popular Spots Are Fertile Fields For Spring-Inspired Amorous Activities

Lover's Lane Still Popular There may not be any highly-pu-
tized observatory hill here but the hill is one of ten even popular through the years, judging from evidence available
luring the past few days, their popularity has not waned to any apreciable degree.

Bill Downs, *c37*: "It all depends upon the promiscuity of the osculation, the time at hand, and the ends sought. Generally speaking, the one that starts it should it let the other end it . . . a 50-50 proposition." All of which indicates that Bill would be steadfastly opposed to personally bringing about the cessation of such a desirable situation.
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, and since a woman is more than likely to follow a man's lead, romance must be in the air. One of the basic essentials of love, at least in these parts, is the widely discussed art of osculation. In order that every young person may initiate the spring season well informed on the subject, I make the query: "Who should end a kiss?"
Dorothy Snyder, c37. "Well, now, let's see. How do I do it? After I get started I don't think much about it." Indeed, why think about it? And when I look along such a blank track, worry as to the ultimate end is abolished.
Edie Adams伯勒ger, c37: "Who suggested stopping, anyway? I'm content to concentrate my attention on the business at hand But never let it be said that I was a quitter." It doesn't take an especially imaginative mind to visualize this fellow working diligently away in a business-like manner on the art of wooing.
Lloyd Roark, e.curl: "One should not start something one cannot stop. Logic therefore leads me to believe if one starts something one cannot stop, it takes two to call it quits." Remarkable fellow, that A. Roark taught him to teach school would do well to produce more men of his mold.
Jane Givens, 'C37': "It all depends on the male. His intentions must be lucid, and then must be of the right sort." This line of argument gives basis to the supposition that osculation is necessary before intentions may be discovered and accredited . or discredited.
Dave Hamlin, c 37: "They should both end it after five minutes and start all over again." My, my, Levi, what a man of affairs you must be! Be woe to her who is called upon to satine your caveman desires.
Little Adelaide has become somewhat puzzled by such an array of anomalous replies. Being a simple back-to-earth lass, she is not yet quite up on what the score is. These fearful statements have all been too much for her, so, lest she swoon, I shall be obliged to tell her that it's all a joke. The boys and girls wouldn't even consider engaging in the refarious practice of esculation. Now, Adelaide, go to bed and don't bother your little head any longer. The terrible ogre won't get you if you follow your ABC's . . ALWAYS BE CAREFUL.

Kappa Light Failed
Lover's Lane, that cathedral-like aisle through the pines just north of the Administration building, probably stands highest in the hearts of lovers through the generations. It is interesting to speculate that fate of romances which have had their inception in that sylvan setting.

Potters lake in the late summer, may be just a dirty puddle covered with a seam of green algae, but to lovers in the spring, it is a crystal mirror reflecting the beauty of the world as they see it.
"SAVE with SAFETY"

Down the path known as Kappa lane, couples have walked through many college generations. Some years ago much agitation obtained a light for that path, that Kappa girls would not need an escort when going to and from the hill at night. That light was stoned so often that it became known as "the light that failed."
"THE REXALL STORE"
Just west and south of Blake hall is what is known as the Pi Phi love seat—and well named it is. Even the author can sit there intimately, looked at the pastoral beauty of the Wakaruss valley or watching the golden sunset transforming the prascic mulk of the power house into a dream castle. But it takes the raptures of love to make one forget the penetrating chill, the ungiving hardness of the stone seat.
April 15, Thursday
These are only a few of the romantic spots on the campus. Many others are hallowed by the memory of lovers that have been and might have been. If you're interested in the subject, a little personal remembrance can help you to find yourself the magic of these spot "where lovers linger."

White and Lanning Speak To Chemistry Club Today
**To Enzymistry Club Today**
The regular meeting of the Chemistry Club will be held this afternoon at 4:30 in room 201 of Chemistry building. E. A. White, assistant professor of chemistry, will give a paper on "The Origin and Significance of the Rhamnol Effect." The magnetic character in chemistry will talk on "The Magneto-optical Method of Analysis."
Though he didn't realize it, he was inaugurating a new era in journalism. For today's newspapers could hardly exist without the telephone.
It happened in Salem, Mass., on February 12, 1877. The young reporter attended a demonstration of inventor Bell's new telephone — then "talked" his story to his paper in Boston by telephone!
Gathering and spreading news with lighting speed is just one of the telephone's countless contributions to modern life. And 300,000 Bell System people strive constantly to make the service still better, still more useful.
Why not telephone home after? Rates to most points are lowest after 7 P. M. and all day Sunday.
