PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY. JANUARY 26, 1937 Comment WE NEED MONEY! When the governor affixes his signature to the educational institution appropriation bill sometime during the last of February or the first of March the future of the University of Kansas for the next scholastic year will largely have been determined. We here are in crying need of money. Our staff is not as complete as it should be. We haven't the resources to hire and keep the better instructional talent. Our library is crowded. Our enrollment is greater than ever before. Our reserve balances are virtually exhausted. Some of our equipment and buildings are in urgent need of repair. Our contingent fund is inadequate. And, before we die, we'd like to get a peek inside Dyche Museum. We need money! Justice in Handcuffs Until not so many years ago the young hopefuls of this country were educated by a process similar to giving medicine to a recalcitrant child. Our noses were held and larnin' was forced down our throats, whether or no. Human nature is funny that way, and the natural reaction of the student was to escape as much of the process as possible. Gradually the students convinced their elders that they were competent to handle their own affairs. Student self-government, the Chicago plan and other similar progressive ideas are evidence of a new conception of education in which the students are responsible for their conduct and for availing themselves of as much or as little as they wish of their opportunities for securing an education. The results have been most gratifying. Yet it has been only grudgingly, for the most part, that administrative authorities have yielded to student demands for more control of their own affairs. It hasn't been so long since the Student Council at Kansas persuaded the regents to delegate disciplinary authority to the Council. And when the Council wished to establish a student court, the signature of the administrative authority necessary to make the bill effective was not forthcoming. The proposition was submitted to the student body in a referendum, and the student court is now in its second year. The cases which have come before the court have been well-handled. The court showed good judgment and a commendable spirit of tolerance in its most recent case. Yet, as constituted at present, the power of the court is a superfluity. The Council has the power to over-rule decisions of the court. Most governments, human nature being what it is, have found it more satisfactory to make the judiciary independent of the legislative and executive bodies. There has always been one instance of mususe of power. If student self-government is to hold its hard-earned ground, it must not be a plaything of student politicians. The student court has shown itself capable of performing the functions of a court. Why not organize it on a more secure and efficient basis? The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. B. Settlement of claims 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. 4. An adequate building program, including: Reopening of Duchy museum. a. Reopening of Diche museum. b. Construction of a medical science 3. Addition to the stacks of the library 4. Corruption of faculty and employee records Are you, too, on the lookout for the first robin of Spring? Are you, too, an honorary member of the First Robin of Spring Club, Inc.? This is the time, kiddies, that somebody usually sees the first one, you know, and there's no sense in getting scooped, is there? Or is there? We're sure we don't know. salaries. ISpy---- But nce'ertheless, now that the snowflakes, dainty things that they are, are disappearing (this point could be argued, but then . . .) and the beautiful winged creatures are contemplating returning to their summer homes, it stands to reason that sooner or later, somebody's going to see one of the red-breasted creatures. Doesn't it? So keep your sharp eyes open, cherubs, and mayap you may be the first to spot one of the gorgeous robins which, tradition has it, are the first to herald the glorious return of Spring. it's really fascinating if you play the game and are honest with yourself. Spending Spree Dr. Townsend's $200 a month pension plum began to get the breaks last week when Chelan, Wash, pension organization presented C. C. Fleming, 63-year-old unemployed orchardist, with $200 in a "field test" instructing him to spend the marked dollars within 30 days. Fleming seemed to be having no trouble as he spent $2.60 the first day on a permanent wave for his wife, shoes, an overcoat and other clothing, a money pouch, his electric light bill, his subscription to the weekly newspaper, and groceries to provide a "real feed" for the 16 Flemings including children and grandchildren. Chelan merchants co-operating with the pension committee agreed to tax themselves two per cent everytime one of the marked dollars changed hands. They set aside $1.65 for the pension fund after the first day of the experiment. While Fleming put into practice the theory advanced by Dr. Townsend, the Washington state house of representatives went on record 85 to 12 adopting a memorial to the federal favoring such a scheme. They proposed the two per cent transactions tax to finance the project.

Now that we have navigated my finals with a degree of success, I will now try to create a program for my students who disapprove of the multiple practice induction in by a reputedly modern education institution—I don't have any examinations. Why not instead make to make choices. Let us begin now to substitute some other means of measuring student work for the actual student tests. M. R. J.

Professional and business circles all point to the correlation between scholarship and success in life as evidenced by various surveys, and answer in the affirmative.

Forty per cent of the justice of the Supreme Court and the men who have served since State between 1890 and 1922 have been members of Phi Beta Kappa. By Bob Evans, c'unel.

K. Hall of the personnel department of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. as to the relationship between earning capacity of students and job grade, and the number of 104 colleges and universities to place the 3800 college graduates employed by the Bell Telephone System in one of four scholastic groups; those who graduated in the upper tenth, the upper third, the middle third, and the lower third of their classes. Hill did find that there were students of low scholarship doing well, and students of high scholarship doing poor. The groups showed a direct correlation between college scholarship and salary. He assumed 100 as the median, and found thirty years after graduation the men in the upper tenth of their class was 155 per cent; that of the Theatre of the Stars and Big Hits GRANADA 25c til 7—Shows 3-7-9 Just One More Day NOW!

Fill next considered those who had been in the Bell System between five and 30 years. The men who ranked in the upper tenth of their class began to earn more than other college men five years after graduation, increased their earning capacity each year until when out of college they were earning even more conspicuous. The earning in the upper third was next highest, while the salary of the middle third group was but two-thirds that of the salary of the man in the upper tenth. The salary curve of the man in the upper third found, has an opposite trend to that of the man in the upper tenth the longer the best students are in business, the more rapidly their earnings rise; the longer the poorer student is in business, the slower his earnings rise. Ordinarily success in life cannot be measured by income, but between one man and another in the same business organization, success and salary generally parallel one another. --with RALPH BELLAMY - HELEN VINSON All educational surveys seem to point out the fact that it is not so much what the men of high standing know when they leave college, but the fact that they have formed the habit of successful mental accomplishment. Occasionally person will fail in some area and be quite the minority to those who do not do so. It is too great a chance to take. VARSITY A Good Habit Help the President Fight Infantile Paralysis!
