Choose Courses For Sympathy, Understanding
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
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."
Aking 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 thus by getting an education would gain an appreciation for them, and become the citizen of several new intellectual worlds.
NUMBER 79
"Study well," Dean Lawson said further. "For I do not believe that any one can take any subject ser- vious," he said, being valuable to him some day."
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 perfect and the past can be tremendously improved upon," he said in conclusion.
About choosing a course Dean Lawson insisted "No one can choose your courses except yourself."
He said that no outsider—not even mother, father, or professor could help a student with his own choice.
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 students who regularly 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 more teachers, after being crowded with mathematics in almost all fields are becoming less crowded, 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 Stiebe. I sincerely appreciate this attempted "build up" but wish to add that I will also be debted other than those 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 leave campus 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 school. It is hard to find and to have "bottle target practice" from the windows of their rooms.

A re-organized athletic board met Sunday in a five-hour session, selected a committee of three headed by Prof. W. W. Davis to take over the duties of Dr. F. C. Allen as director of athletics, and recommended to this committee the rehiring of Coach Ad Lindsay and his staff for the coming year.

Editorial Comment
Cinders-And Ecstacy
My darling trudged up the hill, a resigned expression on her beautiful features. Each movement, as she walked, caused her to twitch with pain. In her mind was an all-too-recent experience through which she had gone. Harrowing was the word for it.
My darling dimly recalled having picked her aching body from the hard, hard ground and going home in a daze. How she got there (home), she was never quite surre. Perhaps through sheer will-power, or maybe it was just instinct. She vaguely remembered doing a bit of undisguised cursing, but little more.
Then like a bolt from the blue, as they say in Persia, another shock came to my darling's already befuddled brain: There were cinders on the walk!
My darling leaned against a tree for support. This was too much. This was either the acme or the nadir of something my darling wasn't quite sure which. Gently, as she felt strength returning to her body, she put a foot on the cinders. They held. She followed with the other foot. How nice, how firm, how delovely.

4. A large-beamed building program, including:
a. Reopening of Dyche museum.
b. Construction of a medical science building.
"Well, I'll be &lb@$&''()&," my daring shouted. "This is the nuts. Of course it's a little like locking the barn—or the stable—after the horse has been purloined, but what the devil. Cinders!" My darling shook her head, umbelwearing. "My pretty head is in a whirl."
then, a feeling of estacy surging through her veins, my darling set out again. Maybe this life was worth living, after all . . .
Orchids
So orchids to Margaret Wheeler and staff for their fine magazine, the only engineering or architectural magazine in the country, as far as we can discover, edited by a woman.
Another issue of the Kansas Engineer makes its appearance this month. It is a magazine which has long maintained a consistent standard of excellence—for a technical publication, we started to say, but there is no need of confining it to the technical publications. The Kansas Engineer is an attractive magazine, and the articles are well written.
At the convention of the Engineering College Magazines Associated in Ann Arbor, Mich., last October, the Kansas Engineer won a well-deserved award for the "best student-written articles for the period from September, 1925, to June, 1936." And of course the whole University waits for "Slide Rule Slips."

Hoover said. 'The child labor constitutional amendment should be passed now. It has already been ratified by states covering a majority of the country's population . . . I can say this to those who believe it should be done by the states rather than the federal government.'
This long delayed statement from Mr. Hoover on child labor will rouse enthusiasm in many and varied quarters. For one thing, Republican newspapers will scarcely be able to contain themselves. Not since the days of the Mississippi flood has Mr. Hoover come out with anything which fits so nicely the "Great Humanitarian" legend. We have seen Mr. Hoover's name coupled with many an auspicious institution in our time—relief for the starving Belgians, relief for the Mississippi flood victims, the building of Hoover dam, the Depression—but never have we come upon anything which for the ring of true humanitarian equals "Mr. Hoover, friend of the child labor amendment."
SUNDAY, JANUARY 17, 1837
Mr. Roosevelt will undoubtedly be very happy to know that his predecessor at long last is at one with him on this matter. He will probably appreciate the fact, as do we all, that Mr. Hoover has made quite a generous concession in his political philosophy, for a "challenge to liberty" is very definitely involved in prohibiting children from working as much as they want to in textile mills and in the mines.
The scene of another celebration is laid in Heaven. It involves the much-revered founder of Mr. Hoover's party, Alexander Hamilton. The Federalist Hamilton; if he cares at all by now, is happy in the knowledge that Mr. Hoover is back in the fold again after his recent little excursion into the realm of the states-righters. It will be recalled that Mr. Hoover in the campaign of his friend, the Kansas governor said that any regulation of working hours and business practices should be carried on by the separate states.
It would seem reasonable, Mr. Hoover, to assume that many other labor problems transcend state lines."-Southern California Daily Troian.

M E M O R A D U M to a mis-
guided one who thinks that
collegiate football is still
In the mail the other day came a fine little sales price. It was the organization something like a teacher's employment bureau. Of course it was confidential. It had listed several hundred of California's best football players in the high schools and junior colleges who wanted to go to college next year.
The piece gave the dimensions, qualities and attainments of the young men. If the school was interested in any of the men, all that had to be done was to write this book, or if no one else "poets" that player might have in the way of scholarships, tutions, and salaries.
Of course this is against all the rules, but who cares about the rules. Here was a chance to make some money off the boys as well as get them set up in college. These boys proposed to work their way through college on their football ability. They were also the chance for higher education in the same fashion Summerfield scholars bid for means of going to school.
But that's against the Big Six rules. But then again what are the Big Six rules, when Sam Francis is about to make all-American. Certainly he is earning it. Why not admit it.
Memorandum No. 2:—Last night we read that Dana A. Bible of Nebraska has a coaching job at some $18,000 a year for ten years at Texas. We have been with his $12,000 a year salary at Nebraska which has a student body comparable in size to that of Texas. And beyond a doubt his salary right now is what it is, rather than the $3,500 at Ad Linden, because
And if concessions like this are to be made to amateurism and efforts are to be made to rocket gate receipts, why in the deuce can Kansas and her medieval Big Six associates recognize that players learnt their craft through their bed and room, that is—recognize it openly, and quit lying about the status of the football player. Why can't they cease burdening the conscientious with the job of trying to enforce the rules.

Absent the recent Hill politics embroilment which has found that four of the boys haven't the qualifications for the august M.S.C.; we need more. We know some such qualifications established for state and national legislative positions. Wouldn't it be funny to have one of our log-repository, petty political legislators declared ineligible because he couldn't complete a sentence, because he didn't know how many amendments there were to the Constitution, or for some such reason.
Textile From
Thayer Art Museum Is
Cover for "Antiques"
A color photograph of a hand-woven textile owned by Thayer Art museum at the University, was the cover design for the December issue of "Antiques," a monthly magazine of national circulation. The textile, a coverlet, dates back to 1840 and is representative of the genius of design, according to statements in the magazine, in American textile-weaving of that period.
The design features turkeys, rustic homes, palms, and medieval grape vines—unique in hand-woven pieces. A second rare coverlet entitled "Rough and Ready" which is the property of the museum, is also displayed. The coverlet is dominated by the profile of Zachary Taylor, and is dated 1850.
Both textiles are included in an exhibit in the basement of Thayer Art museum.
