PAGE TWO --- } UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1938 Comment Woof! Woof! Wild was the week-end for the big game hunters of Kansas. South of here half a township turned out after the rapacious wolf. They walked with cautious steps and loaded guns, accompanied by an airplane giving directions through a loud speaker. Considering this definitely an unfair practice, none of the wolves attended. Instead of them the hunters shot only one dubious coyote who probably had a Boston bull for an ancestor. North of Lawrence the local society and their yelping hounds hunted the little red fox. But tailley-ho or no, the Kansas fox is not a social climber. Unimpressed, he turned on the dogs and chased them half way to Wichita. Hunters of Kansas, there is still the fierce ack-rabbit! Epidemic Rumors Rumer raised its ugly head on the University of Kansas campus. This time the rumor was especially vicious and especially constructed to worry gullible students and anxious parents. Yet how the human mind loves to dwell and enlarge on morbid subjects is proved by the eagerness with which it grasps at any floating bits of horrifying gossip, and the reticence with which it accepts the reassuring statements of health authorities. It had to do with two unfortunate and coincidental deaths of University students from the same disease, a disease which health authorities assure us is not contagious. One report had the second victim of the "epidemic" dead a full three days before he succumbed. Some persons will swear that there are three or four other patients suffering from sleeping sickness in the hospital at this time, but that the hospital won't admit it. Someone had it on good authority that the girl who took over the bed of the first victim is "getting it" too. Classes were going to be closed immediately and everyone sent home if another case develops. The whole student body was to be quarantined and kept in Lawrence for the entire Christmas vacation. Such unfounded statements have been everywhere on a thousand tongues the past few days. That they are ridiculous it is needless to point out, but that they are also vicious is a fact which should be made clear to the inventors of the tales. A plea is entered for their cessation. Berlin Barks Thus Goebbels is proving to all Nazis that everyone east of Germany is a dangerous red. If he continues the fear-crazed Germans will cease to believe there is a white man south of the Rhine. Doc Goebbels is the propaganda minister who feeds the Germans their balcony. This week he took a map which was printed in a Russian paper under the caption, "New Airfields in Czechoslovakia," and reprinted it all over the Fatherland under the Russian paper's name with the head, "Our Airfields in Czechoslovakia." Now Czechoslovakia is a harmless little republic that no one would think of bothering of the Versailles treaty had put it anywhere but between Germany and the Ukraine. German officials have made eyes at the latter territory, and every time Hitler thinks of it the wax drips from his machet. The citizens of Czechoslovakia are justly sore about all this. They point to similar propaganda and increase their army, which is about all they can do. The Week in Review - One tailor said. "The well-dressed man must have nineteen suits." Schiaparelli left her Paris salon for native haunts in New York's east side, and she said, "The well-dressed woman ought to have . . . ," well, it included underwear and shoes and also one man to come along and help select the duds. Maybe pay the bills, too, but Schia- skip it—didn't say anything about that. There is much to be done. War in Suiyan and argument in Spain. Women's new styles should be viewed with alarm; gummel buttons plus epaulets and cartridge belts. Richard Himier, dance orchestra leader, pled for bands to discontinue martial music because, like cap pistols and alcohol, it brings out the worst in us, like biceoughs. The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 1. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. 2. Revision of house government rules. 2. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore 4. An adequate building program, including: 5. Duchy museums 6. Addition to the stacks of the library. 7. Restoration of faculty salaries. 5. A bareque building for a. a. Reopening of Dyche museum. b. Construction of a medical science building. torship over America. So said the Association of National Tailors, sometimes miscalled the National Association of Tailors of the Association of Tailored Nationals. Said they, "American democracy cries out at the invasion of our clothes field! There is much to be done." As one tailor commented to another apropos 'affaire Simp,' "Men's dress reflects King Edward but never rid itself entirely of the influence of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert." Psychologically speaking this shows a grandmother fixation derangement complex. Upon good authority the New York Times says, "The secret of England's strength consists in adapting itself to the best in Edward VIII without discarding the best features of Victoria or Albert, for that matter Elizabeth and Henry VIII, or even a bit of King John." The English ought to keep their secret. But enough of this digression. Back to the Madame S'elli. She said she came here to shop in some of our best American stores, adding sweetly, "The idea of spending an afternoon in one of your five and ten's thrills me beyond measure" This insult from Paris we may add to the war debts. There is much to be done. The point is that our starving football players deserve a training table. The University of Kansas needs a co-operative book store!

Editor Daily Kansan: After attending the fall concert of the K.U. host for a second time I wish to express my appreciation to the members of the band in line with the opportunity of hearing and seeing them perform. Although far from being the only program in which we have varied the program, Undoubtedly the performance represented many hours of diligent work by every member of the band. To celebrate theulate the band for its excellent work, not only in concerts, but in the many fields in which the organization I might add that Ken Postlethwaite's method of reporting this last concert has not been appreciated by a number of students. His flat and somewhat disgusting humor, as well as the unimpersonal nature of a University organization to interested readers of the Daily Kansan displays an absence of that sometimes desirable quality known as tact. Editor Daily Kansan: X The band did well in its fall concert and Kone Post-below gave it a good write-up in yell or better and drew only sarcasm from this same reporter. Now, he has given the band a piece of secretary. He also spoke a piece between halves of the song. Smell a 'rait' I just wanted to point out to Mr. Kuirsteer that he might win favor from the Mr. Kuirsteer team, but I'm afraid of "cuspidum of batons" or something. Then if he were allowed to roll a hoop across the stage during intermission, he would be in trouble (Understand now, I think Ken is a good reporter, and if he knew anything about music he would be a great teacher). Harlan Jennings Editor Daily Kansan: Let's have the house government rules revised! And before finals begin! If one wants to study with a person in another house after the library closes, he/she must leave the library, where the atmosphere is anything but studious. Why can't the houses be open until closing hours every day? Quiet hours could be maintained by installing a noise-reducing system, but would need to be disturbed. It is so silly and unnecessary to lock everyone in or out of the house. M . M .

The A1Ch.E will meet this evening at a laboratory in the Chemistry building. Lewis Kiefer, Secretary You, as an average student checked out about nine books from the library during the month of October. Library records show that you checked most of them from the reserve desk, some from the education desk, and a small number of those for this year. 40,381 books have been checked out, 35,671 of which were used during October.

Davis, engineer of the Kansas Highway Commission, will present a popular description of the grade separation project in North Room 201 and Room 202 in Room 204, Marvin hall...James Capo.

A lecture for English majors and English graduate students on this afternoon in 209, Fraser. The lecture is entitled "The Adventures of a Teacher of English." -W. S. Johnson, Chairman, Department For some reason depression-day students did less reading. The year 1932-1933 showed a decrease of ap- proximately 75%. The number used in 1931-1932 from The decrease in enrollment figures may offset this slightly. The latter school year mentioned reached an all-time peak of more than $30- September, November and December were low months last year. Students did a minimum of library study. January shows a steep increase, and one can't help wondering if semester exams could have had anything to do with that March, May, August and September the increase in temperature, and again the proximity of exams offers a solution. PHI SIGMA: Phi Sigma will meet at 7:30 this evening in Room 206, Snow hall. Dr. Treece will speak on "Swimming pool Sanitation in Kansas and Missouri" and are urged to be present.-L. Coriel, President. QUILL CLUB: Guill Club will meet at 7:30 every evening in the Pin Room-Charles Zieskey, Prescott. The method of tabulating numbers of books checked out is simple. The reserve and education desks have a system of ringing up, on a device much like those used on street cars and buses, each book as it is held. The main desk covers the cards at the close of every library day. Y. M.C.A. CABINET MEETING: There will be a meeting of all Y.M.C.A. cabinet members this afternoon in the Y.M.C.A. office, basement of Memoria Union building, at 4:30.-Harold E. Gregg, President These circulation figures would be much higher, however if the Library had greater facilities for accommodating students. More than twice these numbers of books are sold for and found already in use. Y.W.C.A. CABINET. The Y.W.C.A. Cabinet will house at 7 o'clock this evening, Martha Peterson. The Roving Reporter Conducted by Steven David, Esq. c'37 Kenneth Graeber, Guest Conductor Question: What do you think of the W.S.G.A. eight o'clock house rule? Katherine Emily Goldsmith, c38. "What are they trying to do, make us cloistered nuns? Staying outside doesn't do my murgis any good!" Nor harm either, I tell wager. Kate ... Paul Marriott, c21. "Abrogation of the rule would allow for less crowding at the hospital. But we would bring strong. 1 mean code." Just what else would you be meant by, Mr Marriott? Anne Hack, c'38; "We are allowed guests at home after 8 and for nine months this is home—why not?" Bob Corey, b37; "I think the ruling is ridiculous." Imar Ford, e. 37). If the idea is to keep girls away from the boys, it's certainly a flop. Why don't they go the whole way and lock up as a instead of 10:30? I say, 'away with the rule.'* Bill Downs, c. 37. "If there must be rules, let the masters make their own. I am in favor of rules of this nature in favour, but beyond that it blinks its intelligence." Jane Baker, 'C3': "It's broken all the time. Waste of space to keep it on the book of rules." In closing, your correspondent would like to apologize for not having found the item. And an Aide. I can only say that I consciously did my best.
