$15.000 'Reds'
Cornell University is a "center of revolutionary communistic propaganda," according to Senator McNaboe, chairman of a joint legislative committee to investigate Communism and subversive activities in the public schools and colleges in the state of New York.
The legislature appropriated the sum of $15,000 to make this very important investigation possible, and McNabee has evidently given them their money's worth.
The only evidence he would make public was an excerpt from a guidebook for Cornell freshmen which listed, among dozens of other undergraduate organizations, descriptions of the aims of chapters of the American Student Union, and the Young Communist League. To the senator's mind, this is evidently conclusive proof that Cornell is a target of communistic propaganda and should be accepted as such by any intelligent person without question.
One of the most horrifying products of the Hitler and Mussolini regimes is the stifling of free thought in the universities. To be denied the right to any opinions other than those held by two or three men at the head of the government is totally incomprehensible to Americans. Yet, every time we have an investigation such as the New York legislature has just conducted, we are brought one step nearer to that very thing we wish to avoid.
Following the same line of reasoning, one could accuse the Y.M.C.A., which is doubtless listed also, as spreading seditious Christian propaganda. This is absurd, but not any more so than Senator McNabee's evidence.
Crime Pays in the Gym
The robberies at Robinson gymnasium continue. To the imposing list of articles stolen last year must now be added five dollars stolen from a student last week, plus two bill folds, a fountain pen, and a shirt, taken from two students' lockerers during an intramural basketball game Friday night.
To an extent it is their own fault, for valuables may be taken to the checking room in the gymnasium, put in an envelope, signed and sealed. But clothing is another matter. This must be put in lockers in an attempt to safeguard it, but even then it is far from secure, for the burglaries have demonstrated the fact that they can open even a combination lock. Usual locks, of course, are very easily picked.
Perhaps a better solution would be the establishment of a checkroom in which not only valuables, but also clothing could be checked. One person could be put in charge of the room, he to have the only key. To meet possible expenses, a slight charge could be made, as in regular checkrooms. It would certainly pay the students in the long run.
There appears to be little sense in attempting to appeal to the better side of the felons, for such is useless on the face of it. One effective solution would appear to lie in the employment of a watchman. Here would be a chance to employ some needful student. With such a person guarding the lockers from, say, 7 p.m., to 11 each night, the robbers would either storm altogether, or greatly decrease.
Later Than You Think
At any rate, something must be done, for to sit complacently by and let such things go on is a crime in itself.
It is always later than you think
Next to stolid old Dyche museum stands a sundial. Sundials are curious things, aren't they? Primitive, somehow, and decidedly outmoded, yet there is something wistful about them, the way they stand there so complacently, doing their duty—if they have any in this so-called modern day.
Oh, granted we've had quaint things like hour glasses and water-clocks and knotted ropes, but, after all, can they compare to a sundial? Can't you just picture an old medieval villa with its air of contentment, and its nearby sundial? Those were the days . . .
And another thing; Isn't it fine that sundials don't keep a register of the days and the years! For think how embarrassed the people of Kansas would be if that nice old sundial kept a record of the ever-growing number of years that its neighbor, Dyche museum, has been closed . . .

Campus Opinion
The editor's desk has been piled high during the last few weeks with campus opinion letters. Most of them have been run in the columns of the Duly Kansan, Others of the Duly Kansan and others who permit cutting. These have not been run. Still others have made serious charges not accompanied by proof against persons closely connected to the editors. They have been printed. The editor urges that sheerheart all campus opinion letters be held within the limit of 200 words and that all letters accusing or condemning any person with substantive evidence and be written with a jujuable end in mind.

Word has been received, from a very reliable ambi- authentic source, that Iowa State has a coaching staff of six regularly employed coaches. This comes at a very opportune time, especially with the Iowa State game. If Iowa State can have six regularly employed coaches, why can't Kansas? In the majority of the questionnaires that the Kansas received, the question interrogating "Do You Think We Should More Coach?" was answered in the affirmative vein.
It is not the duty of this writer to inquire into the financial status of he University, but rather to make an inquiry as to why we cannot have more money than we do. It is not truly tried and tested for the very simple reason that there were no enough coaches to handle competently the men available. Consequently, it was not an unreasonable request to coach a team sitting around waiting for attention from the coaches. At Iowa State one man handles the line, another with an assistant, the back end, and the rest of the squad of responsibility that should exist in our football department. Another interesting fact about the Iowa State coaching setup is that it also has two assistants to the basketball coach.
It is obvious that the coaching staff here at Kansas needs some new additions. If Iowa State, a college that has a smaller enrollment than Kansas, can have coaches who are as well-qualified to ambilbate to ask why Kansas does not have more coaches.

Editor Daily Kansan:
Because I, similarly to hundreds of other KU students, am vitally interested in the welfare of KU and its athletics, I should like to make a few suggestions which might help in clearing up the football
so I view the battle between the Daily Kanman and "Phog" Allen, et al. it becomes obvious that such long range firing as has been going on seems difficult to do, but the problem is that I use the table, and if a popular solution is to be gained, both sides must be open frank, and yet courteous, about the matter. And I must say that I admire the skill of the defender.
Why has Ad Lindsey been so conspicuous alert? He, of all parties, should be able to throw light on the now-shaded affair. 1 agree that the responsiblities should be handled appropriately. 2 think that the logoucious Allen knows all.
If such "open-handed" methods are not to be used, I am fearful that attention will be diverted possibly to Phong's basketball team, and the present system of long-distance attack will prove tutic.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I am a local business man and have been here 40 years. The members of my family have attended K U. My children are students there. We have all paid on the college, but I didn't pay on the dents from other towns here to Lawrence to play football and basketball. Two years ago we brought here a student from a Kansas City team and weighed 190 pounds. This man was promised his tuition and a job by the athletic department. After being here three weeks he was not satisfied. He said he would have to leave school. This man is now playing football in Missouri, where he is being taken car of.
The merchants of Lawrence have talked with me concerning the situation which has existed for so long at the University. They have backed athletes with their money, yet they have seen little or no action, especially on the football field. How the alumni association would permit such a situation to exist is beyond comprehension.
My solution to this problem is that there should be a new athletic director who is not a coach, and now the head coach of the team. I recently, I took particular interest to discover the attitude of others toward the attention. I have come to conclude that most people are not at fault, that people at least think they are not at fault, that students, as many as have told me, will not come to KU.

University Health Service Began With Only Forty-two Student Members

The present University health service dates its origin to 1908 when he composed of Dr. M. T. Stuiller, Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, and Dr. M. A. Barber started a Benefit Health Association. Events leading up to this step were the efforts to improve the physical condition of students as outlined by a committee headed by S. W. Williston in 1896, the frequent recurrence of eaglutous diseases with no provision for their care, and a few serious athletic injuries in told about contracting and being isolated on an island in the Kaw river where he was left to the mercy of his fraternity brothers and friends.
By Donald Ames, c.37
42 Students Join
Only 42 students joined the early Benefit Health Association. Although many commended the idea at a public class meeting, only these few were willing to gamble fifty cents each month. During the first year only two students were cared for by the funds of the association. The next step was the appointment of Dr. C. S. Enley to give free consultations and treatment to self-supporting students, but this plan was not successful.
1907-08, an epidemic of diphtheria lent impetus to the expansion of the Benefit Health Association, when the membership rose to 158 students. The yearly fee, which was then two dollars, provided medical, hospital, and nursing care for the patients. In the fall of 1908 the association had 742 members, due largely to the enthusiastic work of Dr. W. J. Baggartier. A hospital building was set up on West Campus, and Dr. H. J. Chambers, now in practice in Lawrence, was appointed as the first physician.
In 1099 there was a great decrease in the number of contagious diseases, as well as a change in the membership of the committee directing the association. Correspondently, a slump in the enthusiasm for research occurred. He lowered the fee were reduced to one dollar a year, which increased the membership to 257. In the spring of 1911 the University Health Committee stepped and assumed control of the situation. When Dr. Chambers reopened his lab in Honolulu feeling against this type of work, Dr. James Naismith assumed the consultation work. Two years later Dr. Alice Goetz was appointed to look after the women students. In 1917 Dr. Naismith left service in the faculty and was now director of health and physical education at the University of Michigan, became University physician. He was succeeded in 1919 by Dr. Eugene Smith, who worked on a part-time basis with Dr. R. H. McGinnis. The latter two are practicing in Lawrence at the present.
Gym Once Dispersant
The 1919-20 dispensary cases were treated in Robinson Gymnasmium, while the 1925 building served as the actual hospital. In 1921 the hospital and dispersal was moved to 1406 Tennessee street where it remained until 1913 when Mrs. J. B Watkins presented the University with Watkins Memorial hospital.
Lawrence found its name used as a caption for a picture in this week's pictures of Life, the new magazine of pictures. On the page beaded "Life on the American News Front" was taken from the northeast of here which occurred when a gas main was struck by a plow.

This is not the first time Kansas has figured in this newest venture of Time In. In the first issue, they honored a native son of Kansas, John Steurant, stylized as the "greatest artist Kansas has ever seen." His most famous paintings. In the story accompanying the pictures it mentioned that he has long resented not being appreciated by his native state.
Many of his pictures are for a Kansas subjects: Tornades, thunderstorms, the Kaw in flood, and other objects that are more or less familiar to citizens of the sunflower field. Perhaps that his neighbors once could have bought paintings of his for $15, but now they sell for $1,000.
The present building ranks among the finest in the United States and is planned especially for student hospitals, with laboratory and X-ray equipment, a surgical unit, record offices, and beds for 40 hospital patients, or one for every 160 students required adequately for all emergencies.

The professional staff consists of three full-time physicians, an intern from the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City, an office secretary and filing clerk, a laboratory technician, an X-ray technician, a visiting radiologist and five graduate nurses.
The service is supported almost entirely by the student health fee of four dollars a session and the cost of building repairs provided by the University.
MEN'S FASHIONS
By G. MELVIN MOORI
So soon there be a beetle rush to purchase gifts for the family and intimate friends. Pity the poor coed out amid the phalanx of shoppers headed for one tie or shirt that daddie or brother will probably get them—and the man set will probably benefit too—a few suggestions.
Let's start from the bottom up. A pair or reversed sheep-skin skirts or an imported English heavy wool blanket slippers with leather sole are fine for nippy evenings. But do get the right size. Wool soaks in.
bold blocked pattern or a mixture of silk and wool in both horizontal and verticle strips are excellent for town or campus wear. The 6 by 3 ribbed lace variety; still hold top-most position by he style leaders though. Think of what kind of clothing you might wear, that either harmonize or contrast with the rest of the ensemble he wears.
Wool gloves are coming back strongly. They look dress and are extremely warm and comfortable. A nair of yellow string gloves lined
with wool are in ex-
cultive taste. The

the leading haber-
dasheries are very stylish and gay.
Newest of the season's creations is a versatile combination set of two pairs of gloves. There is the Scotch knool wool in regimental stripes that can be worn alone or
with a Cape-skin shell. Or maybe you prefer the plain unlined goatskin gloves with hand-stitching that adds much to their appearance.

For the man who trained, a fitted traveling case of pigkin that holds every essential toilet article is most important. These are made of satin.
A skiing parka that is not necessarily confined to that one sport is a fine practical gift. The lining and the hood, which may be worn as a coat or a ski jacket, are a upper shirt. Appearing on the market now is a leather and flannel jacket with a husky, virile look to it. There is an inner vest of the same checked flamed but which is darker. You rate these on your list for brother.
