Service-290 Years
For a total of 290 years, the seven professors whose names are on the "eligible to retire" list have faithfully served the University of Kansas.
Their wisdom and their courage have been implanted in the brains and hearts of countless numbers of students. They have had a share in molding the lives of future leaders in America. No one could ask for more. Yet these teachers are known in their own right beyond the confines of the campus. They are themselves leaders in their chosen fields.
Miss Alberta Corbin, of the department of German, has a lasting monument in Corbin hall. For several years she served as Adviser to Women.
Prof. W. L. Burdick, dean of the School of Law, is a familiar figure to new as well as old students through his leading of the responsive readings at the opening conventure each year.
Sings at the Spring Festival.
Prof. W. C. Stevens, of the department of botany, is an author and a member of several scientific societies. The birthday party given in his honor last year attested to his popularity.
The name of Dr. James Naismith is sufficient to identify his activities. He is one of the best loved figures on our campus. His sympathetic interest in student problems marks him as a true educator. For 39 years he has been a member of the faculty.
Prof. E, M. Hopkins, of the department of English, has shown interest in widely varying aspects of campus life. He established the first course in journalism at K.U., and he coached the first football team. He has been with the University for 48 years.
Prof. V. C. Helleberg is the senior member of the department of Sociology. He too has been engaged in various activities, at one time becoming a practicing lawyer and at another time entering the commercial business of photo-engraving.
prof-engaging.
Prof. Olin Templin, of the department of Philosophy, is the oldest in point of service, having been on the faculty for 33 years. At one time he was dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
An account of the accomplishments of these professors would have to be made in book form if it were to be complete, yet we may be sure that their service to the University will not cease merely because they have been placed on a retirement list.
The Shame of the Council
It has long been the practice for students of politics and economies to jeer at the peculiar antics of our governing bodies. The congress of the United States is popularly believed to be a place where senators and representatives meet to have a good time, to cat-nap, and perhaps to transact a little business in the pork barrel, log rolling manner. This conception is, of course, overdrawn, but there is some basis for criticism.
It is to be hoped that the Council sees the error of its ways after this latest fiasco, and that it settles down to the duties which give it reason for existence.
Nevertheless, students at the University of Kansas do not have to go so far afield to find fault. The Men's Student Council seems to have forgotten that it is the official representative of a large group of students. The Council's actions in the last few meetings have been on the level with those of spoiled and refractory children rather than that of adults cannestly trying to straighten out student problems. The student body does not profit when the Council holds lengthy sessions which end in dog fights. The representatives have been elected with the understanding that they would be faithful to their office, but the Council cannot even get a quorum to transact the few rules it can agree upon.
The Kansan Platform
1. A well-trained diversity athletic program.
2. Betterment of student working conditions.
3. Establishment of a co-operative problem-
4. An adequate building program including
a. Construction of a medical science building.
b. Construction of a medical science building.

5. Redirection of faculty and employee salaries
The Roomer's Rumors
The ghost who had come to look upon himself as landlord of Dismal Dyche cried bitterly, his frail shoulders wracking with the sobs. This was, of a certainty, a cruel world.
One of his roomers approached him, a puzzled frown on his pale face. He, too, was worried.
He looked at his companion. "Could there be," he queried in a shaking voice, "any truth in the rumor that - - -" here his voice broke, but, with a mighty effort, he went on. "Is it true about the proposed appropriation for fixing up our home?" he demanded.
ing up our nose.
The landlord ghost looked up, suffering written in his every feature. He nodded solemnly. "Yea, its so. Bue bear in mind 'tis but proposed. There's always the chance 'twil he cut d'dwn or 'e'en forgot about."
The roomer took heart. "You mean they may not renovate our charming home thus making it impossible to live as a ghost should live?"
The landlord smiled wanly. "Just a chance,
said he. "Just a chance."
The States Have Failed
An argument most frequently used against the Federal government's assumption of the power to administer relief and social security is that "the states can do it better."
On one important issue, the states have been given a chance to show how much better they can do it, and they have failed to meet that challenge.
Child labor is an ever growing menace to the future of America, yet comparatively few states have passed laws regulating it, and many of these are so hedged about by restrictions as to be almost useless. Further, a sufficient number have as yet failed to ratify the child labor amendment to the Constitution which has been before them since 1924, when Congress passed it.
The Missouri legislature is now reviewing the amendment, which they have refused to ratify in three previous years. One newspaper reports that "In past sessions opposition has been raised to the ratification on the ground that the state once turned it down and therefore the resolution should not be presented again." One can easily read between the lines of this flimsy excuse, hurriedly brought forward by some congressman who feared the success of the measure.
Before long, the Kansas legislature will have to deal with the problem. Perhaps a sufficient number of far sighted citizens can band together to put the measure through, but the opposition will be stiff.
Fun for Pphoto Fans
The course is taught in the journalism department. The Brown and White, student paper, has equipped a dark room and purchased a miniature camera for use in the course. Students are required to master developing and printing technique, and must learn to take pictures under the varied conditions which new photographers face.
Students at Lehigh have been provided with a course in photography. The class is so large that it has been divided into two sections.
Besides proving of benefit to the individual student, it would provide the Kansan with pictorial coverage of local happenings. Each member of the class at Lehigh is on call for assignment by the picture editor of the Brown and White. Such a plan followed here at the University might provide the Kansan with some badly-needed pictures.

Now one may build his home with glass and live within it comfortably and privately, and it need make no difference to him how the faecious apply the old adage; stones will not concern him. And he must dishish this home with glass, and even the most skeptical will be delighted.
Glass building blocks have made this first result possible, and structural glass bricks are responsible for the second. The blocks are made by fusing together two box-shaped pieces or a box and a lid, the inside faces of which are welded to each other such a manner as the light the camera all images—thus the privacy. The surface may be plain, prismatic, or designed, and in any of these ways the results are gratifying. Already these blocks come in various shapes and sizes and several methods have been devised for cementing them into place $^1$ in a wall. People who work with air-conditioning will be interested in the new heat-absorbing glass, which, because of its high resistance to heat rays, keeps the house cool.
READY TO SERVE YOU
For six thousand years glass has been known to markin, but it took the twentieth century to make it other than what it was, a fragile, undependable substance with a range of colors to which it had been confined.
Structural glass bricks for interior use are highly decorative and are used with great success for fireplaces, bathroom walls, partitions and paneling. They do not change color under the action of the sun, and they have a high resistance to temperature, especially if they are manufactured in borosilicate glass. Although walls make up the bricks, the panels themselves, through paneling of this kind help light dark corns and halls and lets light through much as does a slanted venetian blind. These bricks are now machine-made and are much less expensive than they were formerly
Flat glass, an opaque colored plate, is becoming popular as a wall material; either in tile form or in sheets of wood, it can be painted black, gray, jade grey, black or white, will not crack or craze, does not absorb odors. It is excellent for use in bathrooms and kitchens, but decorative enough for any room in the house. If the walls are of one color, such as blue, purple, red, ringing of another, and if one color is applied to the pattern or design so secured, the effect is startling and beautiful, like a master painting. One need only look at pictures of such rooms to become excited over the beauty of such a thing would probably be too much.
Most Anytime
Besides walls and rooms, paneling and partitions, we may have door frames of glass which will glow with a soft light, doors with panels
Homemakers of today have living before them a field heretofore little explored and one in which they can work with the youngest of recent scientific research to produce entirely modern and delightful surroundings. The material with which they work to this end is glass, a material glassy to any moons, but still glass.

that catch passing reflections in a fascinating display, sta-trails of solid glass rods or strong hollow tubes, fluted or etched, and even hollow glass hand rails which can be lighted at night in glowing colors. And if we want to go back, lightning bolt designs, we can use glass rods of crystal clear glass and use a different color scheme every day!
And thus glass has found its place in the world today, a place as great as varied, and as changing as the world itself. Years were necessary to acquire this knowledge of the material could be acquired, and until this understanding was acquired, work was useless. But now from the field of what they know exists, scientists are taking off for exploration, studying it and finding it. They are already there!
Paintings Are On Display
Designs or etchings, whichever we want, may be on the back of the glass so that a smooth surface will facilitate cleaning. An interesting effect is obtained with intaglio cuttings by lighting the surface from the side, leaving a design that looks like relief but with an exposed surface that is flat and easy to clean. Or we may use decorations, decora-ments and columns made of molded glass done in relief with the designs on the exposed side. Which-ever it is, the results are sure to be satisfactorily beautiful.
