PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS 1 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1927 Comment X An Open Letter To the Kansas City Star Kansas City Star, Kansas City Star. Gentlemen: Isn't it about time you stopped editorializing in your headlines? After all, the election is over. Powerful. The University Daily Kansan Ab, Has the Court Gone Liberal? One result of the supreme court's decision that the Wagner Labor Relations Act is constitutional has been to squelch permanently the proposition, recently advanced so fiercely by almost all of the advocates of an "untouched" supreme court, that he court is an institution absolutely unbiased, coldly legal, and uninfluenced by public opinion or outside pressure. The theory was that the supreme court is a coldly deliberate body which lays a proposed law and the Constitution of the United States side by side and so discover whether or not the law is constitutional. After the Washington minimum wage law decision this theory was quickly abandoned, almost before it became as untenable as it now seems. Opponents of the President's court reorganization plan now go to the other extreme. The theory now is that the court has changed, that it has suddenly become "liberal." Says Theodore C. Alford, Washington pundit of the Kansas City Star: "The majority members of the court, all of whom agreed that the N.R.A. was unconstitutional, and two of whom refused to adopt generally the Roosevelt theory about the right of federal control of industry, were found today accepting probably the most important part of the new deal constitutional philosophy. Less than a year ago, in the overruling of the Guffey coal control law, the same court declared that "the local character of mining, of manufacturing and of crop growing is a factor and remains a fact, whatever may be done with the products." This sounds very impressive. But it is definitely wrong to speak of "the court" as if it were a whole. It is a bitterly divided court, in its decisions as well as in personnel. And whereas in the Guffey coal control law five judges declared that the law was unconstitutional, and four said it was not, just the opposite has now occurred. One judge, swinging from right to left, and left to right, decides the policies of a great nation. Has the supreme court gone "liberal"? It's Potent, This Benzvl MethvI. Etc. Its name is benzyl methyl carbinamine sulphate, and it will make your brain run on all cylinders. So says Dr. William Healy, director of the Judge Baker Guidance Center in Boston, who issued the information about the new synthetic drug to a group of physicians in New York City last week-end. To explain this drug and its uses more thoroughly, Dr. Healy compares the human-brain to a high-powered engine running on a low grade of gasoline because the potential of the brain cells is far from being fully realized under ordinary conditions of nutrition or stimulation by what the blood stream has to offer. But, he says, if these brain tissues are artificially supplied with "high octane number gas" in the form of better glandular and other activating materials, it would hit on all cylinders and we could realize the full working powers of what we already have. The possibilities of this new drug, then, are enormous. By its use it might be possible to create a race of super-men. Just so long as no commercial enterprise takes it over, fits it up with a tricky name, and charges an exorbitant price for it at the drug counter, it may serve the purpose Dr. Healy describes. But, gosh, wouldn't it radically simplify the task of going to college! Fine People. We Americans... One nice thing about us Americans, if an occasional self pat on the back may be permitted, is that few people over here take themselves very seriously; and if someone gets openly critical of us it doesn't usually hurt our feelings much. Anyone that has his feelings 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. stuck around in a number of places just naturally expects to have them stepped on every now and then, and it's seldom that any rumpus is raised when the inevitable occurs. Take, for example the Roosevelt family, whose members have probably heard more plain and fancy criticism of themselves in the past four years than the average person hears in a lifetime. Some of the jibes have been good natured and some of them vicious, but with it all, we've never seen a member of the clan bat a single eyelash. We read in the papers that Mrs. Roosevelt laughingly tells a luncheon assembly of the none too flattering epithet she has received through the mail, that of "America's Foremost Nuisance." The President and other big shots attend a Gridiron Club banquet, and see themselves mercilessly put on the Grill. Result: they like it so well they'll come back for more next year. Pity the poor Europeans, where the mention of sex appeal on a radio program in connection with a certain well known lady results in suspension from the air, and a hint of criticism directed toward a dictator means sudden death or worse. Campus Opinion Two Gripes—One Stone Editor Daily Kawani I was glad to read in the Kansas editorial columns the other day that someone else believes in keeping up the tennis courts for the benefit of the common herd. Every time I went to play last year the game was marred by a broken racquet and a lack of laces. This year it looks as good it got off to a better start, but whether the good work is to be kept up remains to be seen. The courts have been full every season, but we need to keep this year as this seems to be bigger and better than ever. And while I'm on the subject, it might not be a bia idea to remind people who like to play tennis at hours at a time that it isn't considered sporting aroun one set of rules. One set when another else is waiting for the courts. M.G. The Other Side Of It Recently in this column I noticed a comment concerning the proposed plan of the Board of Regents to raise the non-resident fees. The writer of that article asserted that the proposed rule was once again double the fees paid by out state students. However, that writer should be reminded that the university enrollment has been increasing, gradually, from 2014 to 2017. University is necessitating the employment of more preservice and in cramping the schools or room. One should consider whether the applicant comes from the state taxes, and the out of state students are putting very little into the treasury and are costing universities. Financial reasons alone seem to be enough to lower non-resident enrollment. KK.W. Official University Bulletin Vol.34 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14, 1957 No. 132 --from AL.

The Roving Reporter Conducted by Fred Littsoy "... and if you want to be a beauty queen before leaving college, just take out enrollment papers at Kansas University." Apparently the Jayhawker magazine first put these words into the mouths of the common folk, and now other campus publications, along with Hollywood competition, have made the feminine pulchritude contents on the Hill all the more inducuous. Since we are blessed with one of the few best publics to put forth the interrogation: "What constitutes a beauty queen?" Boe Pearson, c'mel: "Facial characteristics of beauteous aspect aren't essential as far as I'm concerned. Sometimes even a beautiful pair of ankles is sufficient in my eyes." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is typifying the beauty of an angelic countenance—only for the lower attributes of beauty. Ed Geary, 139: "One moment for meditation . . . (moment passing) . . . Now then, as I see it rather vaguely through my blurry spectacles, the creatures out there are so obvious and widely differentiated that I can only comment as follows: It all depends on what you are looking for. So to all intents and purposes the whole law school is looking for it, too, whatever "it" may be. At Art, whatever course cuts on every passby would indicate a search for something. Phil Stratton, c37: "A Phi Bhi Kappa on a pretty chassis." Is it possible that Pulpitating Phil could have been the co-founder, associates, the Theta's, the go-by? Jim Porter, c37: "At this university, two legs, two arms, one body, and some semblance of a head. And tooss in some good plump ac-outerments." Just a case of too many queens. John Fearley, 133. "Give me a combination of Bash, Johnson, Bottom, and eight or nine other girls I can't think of quick like." And that, in anybody's vernacular, pretty well covers the situation. Dennie Lemoin, c'40: "I could give you the old stock answer and say in a tute manner, beautiful face and figure, charm and personality. etc. However, the great unanimity of them makes that they must be ladies." Which seems to me a momentous thought withal. YOU CAN'T HELP BUT WIN WITH A NEW V-8 See Them on Display at SCHNEIDER BROS.
