PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS A Comment FRIDAY. MARCH 19, 1927 Act Your Age We know it's pretty difficult to restrain your emotions when viewing a double-barreled Western movie, students. We realize that it is a super-man who can sit there calmly while the posse pursues the villain (who has the hero). We realize that the dialogue is so superb that it is necessary to give vent to exclamations of admiration. Of all these things we are aware, but sometimes—in fact too frequently—you boys go too far. When it comes to howlings and furniture-destroying, things have come to what someone called a pretty pass. After all, everyone is aware that there are sophisticated, ultra-blaze college students in the audience. There's really no excuse for letting everyone know it by uncutthou shouting, stamping, and general bouncing around. There are other people in the theatre too remember, and their idea of their money's worth may be hearing and seeing the picture. We're sure they know you're there, that you superb at making wise cracks and jibes, that you take Western pictures with a box of salt, so it should be unnecessary for you to advertise your presence in such a way. Laugh if you must, but let it be the silent, tongue-incheek laughter of the educated, not the raucous, boisterous jeering of a stupid mob. You're certainly not helping give a good impression of college students. So, try to get a grasp on yourself, and let somebody else enjoy the picture if you can't. If you don't think you're going to like the picture, you don't have to attend. But if you must go, at least act your age. A hen is believed to be the only creature that can go right on working while engaged in a sit-down strike. The Beer Bill The beer bill passed by the house of representatives is an irritation, nothing more. The enforcement of its petty rules and regulations will serve to clog the courts to an even greater extent than at present. Those who expect to see Kansas become a dry state on the seventh day of the week and from midnight until 6 a.m. every day, are going to be badly disappointed. Evasions of the law will be many, and the state will have to spend a great deal of money if it intends to enforce it even partially. Next year when the legislature meets, they will have the whole problem to thresh out again. Almost any compromise which could be reached between wets and drys resolves itself into an absurdity for the simple reason that it is not possible to judge when a man is drunk and how much alcohol it takes to make him that way. The greatest of experts are still arguing these points. It is interesting to speculate how many more worthy affairs could have received the attention of the legislature in the time it took them to reach a decision on the beer question. Go Specialize, Young Man Some few million cells ago on our monocellular ancestors wiped the primal oweal from their eyes and gazed apprehensively at the first multicellular animal. Ever since that day a curious process known as evolution has made organisms and the world in general more complex, and the interdependence of cells is now being replaced by the interdependence of individuals. The college curriculum has felt the impact of this inevitable process, and we are being asked by the monocellular school what we intend to do about it. It is pointed out that the students who receive a liberal education in college are becoming increasingly fewer. The trend is toward specialization. The demand of the professional and graduate schools upon the student are making vocational training schools of our colleges, it is said. A murmur dirge comes to our ears, a wall for the old-fashioned A.B. who spoke Latin and Greek, performed feats of integral calculus, and recited long passages from Plato and Aristotle. Such a person had a liberal education. After its completion, he then began to learn his vocation, apprenticing himself to a physician, lawyer, or business man. Today's technological advances have made it imperative that the undergraduate specialize. If he is to follow medicine, engineering or business, there is little time for the language or philosophy of the Greeks or the study of literature. Even the professional schools are specialized. "But, this," says one worried commentator, "comes on top of the basic education, where The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 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. the student expects to study something of the history and current workings of his universe and his place in it, entirely apart from the problem of how to cadge the dollar." So it is. And what, we might ask, are you going to do about it? Our monocellular ancestors probably pointed out with alarm that the cells in this new-fangled contraction, the multicellular animal, were losing their independence. The cell had become a part of a larger, more complex organism where its sole function was to serve as, perhaps, a part of the breathing apparatus. It was no longer concerned with problems of locomotion, reproduction, or thinking. Other cells took over each of these functions. The same thing is happening in the modern state. Not so many years ago our poacher ancestors built their own houses, made their own clothes, provided their own food with rifle or hoe. Now a man doesn't even wipe his own windshield. In the business world the process of specializatoin is almost complete. We seem to feel, however, that government is an exception. Mr. Average Voter, who may never have seen the inside of a book on political science, or who may have spent his time in science laboratories, is asked to make decisions on questions requiring the profoundest knowledge of political, social, and economic problems. A man who has manufactured shoes successfully, or sold a lot of groceries, or been a God-fearing farmer, is supposed to make the best legislator or executive. When men who have devoted their lives to the study of political problems are called in, newspapers caricaturize them in their silly gowns and mortar boards. The times are indeed out of joint. Some day, but probably in the dim future, we will get away from the idea of giving everybody a liberal education so they may run the country, and have specialists perform that work too. Campus Opinion Jay Jane As Saleswomen Editor, Daily Konsum Editor Daily Kansan: As a member of that part of the University's students who are working their way (65 per cent is the figure) on advertising, usitn it.) I would like to comment on how interesting programs at the football games every fall is no inconsiderable concession. There are about 20 boys who work at school to work by retaliating these programs. Most of the boys go to employment bureau of the Alumni Association. Despite the fact that this bureau continually asks for the name of the student about 30 or 40 Jay James sell programs. By the use of sex appeal these girls provide competition of a kind which the boys cannot meet. Almost all they will pass up a boy to buy a program from a girl. The unfairness of the situation lies in the fact that the girls individually do not get a cent of their earnings, nor do they need it. The Jay Jones organization, our do they need it? Are the services which this organization gives to the University more valuable than the aid given by the employer bureau to those students who are work-able and are admitted through school. This University is proud, justly of the opportunities it offers for student work, and of the fact that so many of its students are partially or entirely part-time, one means for enlarging the number, and if the University can provide in providing all the work it can for its students, this matter will be remedied.

QUENTIN BROWN By Clayton Conner, c139 Contents historic to the very linoleum that you tread upon, that's Dyche Museum—to be. REPRESENTED FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Advertising Service, Inc. Retainered 212 MADRID AVE. N.Y. CHICAGO BOSTON AND SAN FRANCISCO Out of the path of curious and troublesome students there is, over in a basement room of Snow hall, a young woman drawing patterns of odd-looking historic animals. For six days of the week, from 8 to 12 o'clock each morning and afternoon, and from 7:30 to 10 at night she sits on her stool concentration on the perfect little lines that go into each picture. The young lady is Miss Myr, Wildish, '35, a zoology major who received her M.A. at the Universite The patterns being drawn are those which shall soon or later be fitted together on a definite historical plan to be imprinted on the surface of the rocky hall of Dyche Museum. On this wall will be 52 individual pictures, illustrating the six major stages of evolution and their respective branches from fish to man. The size of the hindleum will be 24 x 17 feet, which will be colored, in all probability, in two shades of dark yellow-green. Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office, at Lawrence, K. last spring. Working under the directorship of Dr. H. H. Lane, curator of the Museum of Natural History, Miss Wildish made her first plans on this project Jan. 1, a year ago. Since at that time and in fact, until the state made the $53,000 appropriation recently for the restoration of Dyche Museum, there were no funds available for this type of work. Miss Wildish made the drawing, which she initiated. Some work was done later, but she was in school here and again last fall when she was employed as a technician in St. Joseph's hospital in Kansas City, Mo. However, immediately after the restoration appropriation was made, Dr. Lane recalled Miss Wildish to the University to complete the plans for the linoleum. She is now working ten hours a day in order to have the plans finished by April 15, the date they are due.
