1 PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1937 Comment Tish Let's say all there is to say about the weather once and for all and then shut up about it. We're tired of being asked if it's cold enough for us. Most certainly! It's冷 enough for us. Do we look like a polar bear? Anybody but an idiot would know it's cold enough for us. And we didn't see that girl that fell down in front of east Ad and we're not interested. We suppose you'd laugh if she got a compound fracture of her leg, you moron. We don't know how long it will stay this way, and there's no use asking everyone you see because he doesn't know either. The deuce is so unusual about it? It’s winter, isn’t it? What do you want? We suppose you want to know if it's cold enough for us. Go ahead. Ask us. Yah! Just ask us. We don't give a blank, blank if you are the dean's son. Take that! And that! We guess we polished him off all right. Anybody else? How about you, funnyface? Would you like to know if it's cold enough for us. Anybody. Any two of you. Come on, we don't give a doggo how many. Somebody call a doctor, the man's passed out. Swish The other arose slowly, his thin body shuddering. "I, brother, am cold" it said, "and I fear that a lack of clothing of a nature better suited to weather such as this will, in the end, prove to be decidedly fatal." Swish, swish, swished the ghost's thin veil as it (the鬼) started to flit (adv.) up the sidewalk to its new home, Dismai Dyche. It swished (the veil) because of the newly fallen sleet (?) which lay not unlike a blanket upon the earth. The鬼 knocked at the door out of habit, for Kansas gashes are indeed polite. When its colleague and right-hand man, Ghost 67-H, failed to answer, the鬼 who had been swishing slipped through the barred door. There it saw Ghost 67-H lying about dusty case 32k. This ghost was rather pale and had that empty look about him, and the other was frightened. "What," it asked in a hollow voice, "ails thee, friend?" The other nodded slowly, sighing resmedily, "Yea, 'tis lamentable. This place we call our home has indeed been drafty of late. Would that the Kansan would take up a collection so that they might bettergarb us of the other world. But—" it shrugged its shoulders—"I fear such will not come to pass. Shall we go to Topeka and haunt the legislature? 'Twould be a warmer job than is this." Legislative Experiment "So be it, brother," declared the other, arising slowly, "So be it." Eyes of political scientists and others interested in governmental reform are turned toward the capital of Nebraska, Lincoln, where that state's single house legislature is meeting for the first time. A one-house legislature is something new under the sun in government in the United States and its operation will be watched with interest as the initial session progresses through the winter months. It was achieved through a constitutional amendment fathered by Senator Norris, who has fought for the best things in government for many years. The reform is one of the boldest attempted by a state in many years and if it works out, Nebraska's unicameral legislature will bring it lasting fame in the mileposts of governmental organization. There is much to be said for a bicameral legislature and there appears to be much in favor of the new system, on paper at least. The success or failure of Nebraska's experiment will determine whether other states adopt the plan or stick by the two houses which are as old as the states themselves. Life Is Cheap Every now and then some incident occurs which illustrates to the usually complacent and self-satisfied mind the cheapness of human life. The proposed execution of 100,000 Chinese narcotic addicts is such an incident. Chinese famines and wars killing off thousands of the already too abundant population every year no doubt accentuate its triviality in that part of the world. The Kansan Platform In this country human lives are still considered comparatively dear, even those of narcotic addicts. Yet it is not impossible to conceive of such a situation here in the distant fur- 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. 4. An aqueate building program, including: a. Reopening of Ducy museum. b. Construction of a medical science building. 4. Establishment of a cooperative bookstore. 4. An adequate building program, including: c. Addition to the stacks of the library. 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. ture. The fact that the executions have been delayed by the government but are being urged by the "Christian general," Feng Yuhaiang, lends credibility to the possibility. Yet it seems unfair to confine the punishment to narcotic addicts only. Surely the chronic alcoholists, the vice rings, the drunken and reckless drivers, and a host of other public enemies and nuisances might well be included if such measures were ever to be put through. All of which might be taken as a warning to such now complacent individuals that they'd better start minding their "p's" and "q's." Fruitless Fantasy Up at Kansas State the members of the Kansas legislature (you know, the fellows who do out the money) were given a pleasant trip around the campus. This was done so that said gentlemen might better learn just how badly in need of money is Kansas State. Let us resort to a bit of fantasy. Suppose these members were to visit our campus buildings . . . just a few, to give them a general idea. There would be dismal Dyche first, where legend has it, ghosts have thrived these many years. Walking through this dank structure would surely make the honorable gentlemen wish that they might go elsewhere. So we'll take them to the Kansan newsroom. Arrived here we will take pains in pointing out the iron rods which were secretly up during the recent vacation. These rods, we will tell them, are there so that the ancient building won't part in the middle and fall outward. This ought to scare them sufficiently to make them want to go somewhere else. Well, there's always the Astronomy building . . . Here they could be shown the antiquated domes which cover the telescopes. If they could but spend a rainy, windy night in one of these rooms, they'd be glad to hitch-hike back to Topeka the next day. The wind, you see, does its best to tear the domes from the bolts necessary to hold them down. The rain, meanwhile, comes pouring through the slits in the domes . . . and doesn't the telescopes any good. It's hardly a jolly situation. Keeping Congressmen Fit But what the devil. They probably wouldn't do anything about it, so let them stay in Topeka where every thing is safe and sound. Maybe by the twenty-first century they'll get around to us . . . There is a chuckle in the pews from Washington. Peter Henderson, who directs the House gymnasium, predicts more Congressmen will use the facilities for excercise next session than ever before. We are not surprised. With the present political complexion of Congress what it is, the statesmen probably will find time hanging heavily on their hands. All they are expected to do is vote for bills tossed into the hopper by administration leaders. They will be denied the exercise that in former years could be obtained by making speeches, or demanding roll calls. For those who play the game according to political rules, Mr. Henderson probably will install a choice-assortment of hoops properly guaged for height—high ones for the unruly law-makers and slightly lower for those who omit their "master's voice."—Topeka Capital. If it were possible to say something new, clever or original about final examinations, we would certainly crack-wise and feel that we has added one cheering note to the general gloom that shrouds this "crucial" period of student life. Such are the workings in the mills of our pedagogical gods. And it really is nice to know those things. However, all we can think of, and its very unfunny, is that the students who receive passing grades can rest assured that they will be officially one semester smarter than they were five months ago. One of your editorial writers prints such unintentional comments that we common folks have a hard time comment, that we common folks have a hard time comment. So praise be to the allahs!

As a citizen of these United States and a student of this University, should like to call to your attention the steps which can be taken to help in steps which take one from the Hill back to Corbis hill to Louisiana are there, so badly in need of Shades of Mrs. Malaprop If "crass impunity means anything, Mr. Webster is wrong. In a pinch, however, we who daily trump down these worn out steps would welcome a few rallies. For example, the team's first rally on the ice comes (ditto), going down those steps will be already occurred, and it's high time someone took a knee. Editor Daily Kansan; So give us railings anyway. Then if we slip we can blame the elements ... P.R. X Social Security in Germany Now Is More Advanced Than in U. S By Franklin Murphy German Exchange Scholar (Collateral from yesterday's Komen) Science is being pressed into service on the basis of producing new methods for the utilization of raw materials. Germany announced that soon Germany will be producing all of her gasoline from her own coal. The general public are urging, through the press, radio and motion picture to conserve all used materials. Old iron and metal is collected weekly to be returned to the mills where it is refinished. Paper is not to be thrown away or burned in order to conserve by the children who take it to school where it is again collected by the government for re-utilization. The school children go once a month into the forests to collect beech nuts from which the oil is extracted for domestic use. When she learns about it, she sure to see a warning advising him not to throw away unused food. During the winter people must substitute milk for cream in regard to coffee as the most cream is taken from the milk. You can also eat of butter. Every farmer receives literature and advice concerning proper methods of soil conservation and efficient cultivation. He is assisted in his work by the young plantationist Raelbert-Batisteidien which the author will explain in a later article. The aim of the government is to have every acre of land cultivated as efficiently as scientifically possible. The results are evident in the continual increasing amount of domestic farm produce. The forest lands are religiously protected by well-made laws and the loss by unprotected deforestation of food and unauthorized changes of price are vigorously prosecuted.
