Unkempt Courts
Tennis is one of the few spring sports students may engage in more or less at their own convenience, without having to wait on the intramural office to schedule contests or upon a dozen or more individuals to co-operate.
Balmy days that arouse that tennis playing instinct have already visited the campus a number of times this spring, yet the courts are in such a condition that play on them is next to impossible.
Perhaps it's a little early to start complaining, but if they persist in not keeping up the courts as the case last year, a little pre-season complaint might well be in order.
While the Authorities may fondly imagine that intramural sports give every student a chance to participate, they are sadly mistaken; for only the best of a group are chosen to compete, and this leaves more off the list than on in the majority of intramural groupings.
But any dub can bait a tennis ball across the net at another dub, and have a grand time doing it—if only the courts will be equipped with the ordinary number of lines and net and the surface kept at least partially smooth.
Swing Low. Swing High
Since the Kansan commented a few days ago on the delay of those in charge of the University Lecture course in replacing William Beebe, Major Albert W. Stevens, Commander of the National Geographic-U.S. Army Corps stratosphere expedition has been selected to take his place.
Major Stevens will make an excellent substitution for the noted deep-sea diver. Nothing could be fairer. If we cannot have the man who goes deepest into the sea, then it is only fitting that we should have the man who has gone highest into the air.
What with recent complications, is it still correct to speak of it as the Spanish revolution?
The Radical Element
It's fairly certain that all radicals approve of the sit down strike era now sweeping the country; but the fact that John L. Lewis Committee for Industrial Organization doesn't necessarily approve of radicalism is indicated with the announcement that that organization is shortly to be purged of radical elements. Reasons for expelling these forces are that Union leaders blame them for the delay in evacuating Chrysler strikers last week and for the recurrence of General Motors troubles.
According to reports Union leaders have made to the authorities, radicals are following practices used in many previous American labor disputes, of trying to prolong strikes after the legitimate labor objectives of the Union have been realized.
The theory that radicalism is the force behind all the recent strikes is, of course, ridiculous. Though it is unfortunate that they should occur at this time, there is ample proof in their very nature that the strikes are but another of the forms of mass hysteria which descend upon us from time to time. Like miniature golf, chain letters, and "knock-knock," the sit down strike is due to disappear as the novelty wears off.
There is, however, the ever present danger in situations of this kind that certain individuals, given an inch, will proceed to take a mile. This is the specific danger Unions are now facing, and Lewis' action in eliminating this element is both wise and reassuring to an essentially conservative public opinion.
When the elevator in the Kansas City hospital fell with its load of physicians, where was the wit who always asks if there is a doctor in the crowd?
because there will always be a group of individuals who will not be afforded an education or a fair chance to get along in the world, the CCC will be able, for an indefinite period of time, to serve a permanent need in society.
Continue the C.C.C.
We who have spent most of our lives in mid-western towns and prairie villages are not able to realize the number of young men in the metropolitan cities who are unable to secure educations or find work. With the creation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, this group of men, some war veterans, were able to learn vocations and do necessary work for wages.
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.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore
Not only do these men gain from such arrangement, but in many cases they are able to aid their families financially.
According to the present arrangement the CCC, which was organized in 1933, will expire in June of this year. Even with increased recovery, the nation is not at this time able to care for 300,000 unemployed men. President Roosevelt feels that the corps should be maintained, and points out in their favor that these men are not cheating adult workers out of employment, but are actually aiding recovery by the purchasing of clothing and supplies. Even with the return of prosperity and productivity, a certain number of men will go unaided and unnoticed. We must continue to aid these men and give them normal advantages, continuing also their useful work in conserving, protecting, and restoring our natural resources.
Campus Opinion
A Word To The Wise
Editor Daily Kansas
I had a very unpleasant experience recently when I received a card from the library announcing that a book I had drawn out and returned was overdue. The library would not give it back, cited that the library would discover its own mistakes, so let the matter ride. Just about the whole matter had escaped my mind, I received a notice in the library again; the time it was a formal ship enveloped an envelope to the director of the library, asking where in the hell was that book—or words to that effect. Furthermore, it was suggested that I see about its whereabouts before receiving the card.
Well, this time I paid the librarians a visit, and the whole matter was settled to everyone's satisfaction, the book having been found to be there all the time.
If, on the other hand, the book had still been missing, I, no doubt, would have been made the goat and diploma. The way in which it is received a diploma. The way in which it is received a diploma. The way in which it is received a diploma. The way in which it is received a diploma.
A half hour or more before they are picked up and handed to me, and then I aren't lost, and more innocent students send notices to make good their value—or else. So to other students, I'm told that I can't be my experience, I must be taken as a word of warning. M. V.
Obnoxious Fumes. Etc.
Look: can nothing be done about these horrible odors which seem a part of campus life?
As if it weren't enough that the Chemistry building should keep incense pots filled with sulphur or whatever diabolical material is responsible for that smell, the psychology department has to do its bit.
Are they unaware of the fragrance of those monkeys and rats, and various other mammals?
Well, it's a fine state of affairs, that's all I can say. Can the legislature after them. Ha, that is awful. Charlie

Wife of Professor Lands a Gigantic Marlin and Breaks Zane Grey Record
Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, as the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
By Dick Pine, c'39
Yet Mrs. Richard Sutton, wife of R. Dr. L. Kruse of the University of Kansas hospital, who has been angling for huge sea monsters since 'way back when, fought and caught a bigger marlin than the famous author did last February off the Australian coast. The fish, which weighed 324 pounds, set a record for those waters into Mr. Grey, who had previously told the hoover called heavy congratulations to the Kansas grandmother.
Until her marriage more than a quarter of a century ago, Marian Sutton didn't know the difference between a fisherman's hook and a bole in the ground, and she once related, "I was actually forced into the business that for my husband, who is very enthusiastic about the sport, would run off to a fishing spot all at free moorings, it is especially fond of the big ones."
So unable to break her "reeling" husband of his habit, and disliking to stay behind while he explored the
Several months ago Doctor Sutton took leave of absence from his hospital duties and booked passage for New Zealand with his wife. Arriving there they had little trouble in swording up a new record catch of 18 swainfish in eight successive days of fishing. The aforementioned Mr. Grey, who is one of their closest associates, wrote them of the good fishing in nearby Australia. Taking Mr. Grey's tip they headed north for Sydney.
After several luckless days—luck-

were landed—the Suttons decided to

Finally Lands Fish
The next afternoon, three miles off the coast, Mrs. Sutton, who was accompanied by her husband and others, felt a light tug at her line. They all thought she had hooked another small one, she said after the catch.
"Several times the fish came up," Mrs. Sutton related, "but I could not get him up to the boat for nearly an hour. With a great deal of teasing he were eventually landed in one hour and 37 minutes after taking the bait. I was tired and lay down. You know, it wasn't hard to band and I became grandparents some time ago. When I was fighting the fish my husband yelled: "Sock

him, Grandma! Well, I sleked it" Douter Sutton, who has often flamed with Chancellor Lindley, another rodman of the old school, has churned the waters of every part of the world, and, at the present, he and his wife are on their way home. Before returning to Kansas the Suttons will experience against the obsclusive tuna of the Atlantic ocean off Nwaska Sea.
They have fished these waters before and said that the tuna were of such immense size that neither of them could land the fish with rod and stick. They had waited after playing with one for 18 hours, Mrs. Sutton was forced to let it go.
Now, however, since she has accomplished the impossible, or at least what was considered so, this active body will once more try her skill—that is, to overcome the determination to conquer the impossible again. More power to her!
