Choose Courses For Sympathy, Understanding
NUMBER 79
LAWSON
Dean Speaks to Women on: 'What Shall I Take?' - Advises "Study Well"
As broad an education as possible—courses which increase understanding, interest, and sympathy in fields other than those in which the student was interested before college entrance—and the value of never studying superficially, was stressed by Dean Paul B. Lawson when he addressed the Freshman commission at Henley House yesterday afternoon upon the subject, in the Curriculum for Women."
Asking the important question, "What shall I take?" Dean Lawson has found two groups of people, those to whom nothing looks interesting in the entire curriculum, and those who would like to take everything offered. To the latter group Dean Lawson advised that they take those courses which they would not get if they did not go to college and introduce to new fields the student would gain an appreciation for them, and become the citizen of several new intellectual worlds.
"Study well," Dean Lawson said further, "For I do not believe that any one can take my subject ser-ience, and be valuable to him some day."
LAWRENCE, KANSAS. TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1937
He added later that new jobs are being made every day by those who through a good general college education have equipped themselves for living. "If you and I do our best to prepare ourselves for life, life will have a place for us. Everything is still imperfect. Nothing has ever been perfect. The past can be improved, the present upon," he said in conclusion.
He said that no outsize—no even mother, father, or professor could help a student with his own choice.
About choosing a course Dean Lawson insisted. "No one can choose your courses except yourself."
Dean Lawson has found that positions for women are increasing. Certain occupations are opening up in particular. The teaching profession is wide-open for newcomers, and will be for years to come. Those newly qualified are more likely in demand are music, home economics, physical education, language, particularly for Latin and English teachers, and nursing. The social science fields are crowded but the mathematics field is demanding for teachers, if not being crowded for teachers in almost all fields are becoming less crowed, and the demand for teachers is growing.
Personal. I wish to thank the person who sent the flowers to Peggy Morgan and attached my signature to the card after I had suggested such a procedure for one named James Siece. I sincerely appreciate this attempted "build up" but wish you to remember that I am responsible for any debts other that incurred by myself. However if she really accepted the flowers as a gift from me, well, that's a different matter —

The Kappa Sig's have discovered that the grades of their pledges are decidedly below par and have put all of them under rigid "campus" rules. They are not even permitted to stay on campus, but on week end—it is a twenty-four hour day "campus" which will last until final end. It is doubtful if this will be of any great help if the pledges are permitted to continue from day to day or to have "bottle target practice" from the windows of their rooms.

A CORNER ON BOOKS
Kit Brandon: a Portrait, by Sher-
wood Anderson. Charles Scribner's
Song, N. 1398. 1373 pages
Novelist, short-story writer, poet, essayist, Sherwood Anderson lets slip from his versatile pen another novel, entertaining around a gay, bad good-girl. For Kit is one of these girls who is conventionally bad but proves to her intimate associates and to herself that she is good. Interesting self-justification, it is you have to be careful and believe in such a Hife. Kit was just a little back-halal from up in the lost mountains of East Tennessee. When she had to reject by gishish mistletright the morals of the hills she ran from home to the factory town near Knoxville.
These forgotten sections of Tennessee are not the most suitable for young naive pretty girls
A up the mountains to come down to seek a livelihood. The author knows—he lived in these parts 40 years. Kit learned fast; she had to.
Factory and "5 and 10" store jobs didn't suit her. She decided to marry the son of the great Tom Haleys, gang leader of his vast run-running racket. She wanted fast cars, nice clothes not "newer and better Halseys." The expensive hotel-suite and her stupid husband amoureted for a show in the picture for Tom's runs. Tom is fierce, and she is daring. You'll have to read it to know the outcome of their speedy, deadly story.
Sherwood Anderson writes the adventures of Kit (she is supposed to be a real person) with the vividness and enthusiasm of a young writer but also has the underlying intelligence in the retention of an old, a true American.
The book lacks rhetorical correctness and scholastic brilliance; but then, you can't use the language of a text to life a character like Kit Brandon.

John Bentley, sports editor of the Lincoln Journal wrote the following comment about the situation:
"From that well known 'unimpeachable course' I learn a sad fact: D. X. Bible is going to be as head of the State university director of the State University at Austin.
"A promise of 50 per cent more salary, which means about $180 a week," said Mr. Katz that is iron clad—that the bait which he sells to customers at him. All this plus a bonus for signing.
"Naturally, the only really 'unim-
eachable source'—D. X. Himself—refuses to affair or deny, saying and nothing "dute is in the matter".

"Judging by the Associated Press dispatch from Austin, this $25,000 proposal, but he has maintained all along that all of the offers have original handlers in school and with him. It would appeal to the Austin item that out of this $25,000 Coach Bible would have to pay his own staff a departure from Austin."
"Coach Bible was still maintaining Thursday that 'I haven't gone yet.' But there was a meeting sat Stats Room and he said it would attend. At this meeting the final details of the job will be worked out. There is always the chance that a teammate may join in, those tenacious Texans have been weaving this spell since last December when it first became known that the agency would not seek re-appointment.
"Ever since Coach Bible came here in the spring of 1929, his Texas friends have wanted him back. He's had offers from several employers, but he has never been attracted until this 'super colossal' Texas offer came along.
