PAGE TWO --- UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1938 Comment Mournful Halls Fierce fighting is taking place in University City in Madrid. The campus of this once "most up-to-date scholastic group in Europe" has become a "no-man's land" according to recent press reports. University buildings just completed are now used as fortresses. But the greatest irony comes in the report that the insurgents have occupied the school of philosophy. Once peaceful halls which echoed the murmur of students voices as they discussed the problems of the world and ways of solving them, new resound to the boom of heavy artillery and the screams of dying men. Thinking has been suspended. Emotion rules. Thinking has been suspended. Emotion rules. How long will it be before students in Spain are again ready to acknowledge the power of brain over brawn? Our generation may not live to see the day. If a dictator is the fate of Spain, it may be centuries before the light of truth is allowed to shine into the windows of education. Turmoil in Norman Our neighbors, students at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, are in quite a dither resulting from an anonymous letter signed "a Norman merchant" which appeared in the Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoma, charging the university students with immorality and drunkenness. Indignant denials have instantly been forthcoming from everyone from Dr. W. B. Bizell, president of the university, down to the Norman taxi drivers. The columnist on the student daily has devoted his whole space to the affair, and an ex-mayor of Norman, now proprietor of the University Cleaners, inserts in the paper an advertisement bearing the earmarks of libel provoking conclusively that the letter is untrue. Needless to say, the Daily Oklahoma is being severely criticized by defenders of the university for publishing the letter, and a good deal of discomfort for all parties concerned has resulted. While it is only natural that the administration and students of the University as well as Norman business men should vigorously defend their institution against such attacks, from the broadened perspective with which those farther away can view the incident it all seems just a little ridiculous. Moreover, most persons will realize that any intelligent individual reading the letter would immediately discount it as the ravings of a fanatic, and no think more of the matter. The statement which was published, while doubly erroneous for the most part, is in all likelihood repeated daily of every university in the country by certain cranks and gossips who believe the younger generation to be going to the dogs. The fact that those involved have become so incensed over this bit of print might seem to indicate that there is more at stake than they will admit. To ignore it as not worthy of mention would really be more complete vindication of its charges than the almost too eager denials which have resulted. Take Note, Please Unemployment is lessening. Corporation dividends are increasing. The stock market is rising. The farmers' income is greater. Industrial production is at its highest ak since 1930. Wages are going up. —But we still can't get into Dyche to view its beautiful collection of Cretaceous animals or its Patagonian specimens. Institutional Dilemma If prosecuting attorneys and judges had enforced the habitual criminal law enacted in 1927, 1,560 prisoners would have been given doubled sentences for the second conviction of a felony, and 733 would have been given life sentences for third conviction. But only 23 per cent, or fewer than one-fourth of those with previous criminal records were sentenced in accordance with the law in the eight years covered by a report from the research department of the Kansas Legislative Council. The research bureau does not undertake to say who was responsible for the laxity in enforcement. The act does not make it the specific The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Retention of student working conditions. 4. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore 5. Revision of house government rules 2.

An adequate building program, including: Duty of either the judge or the prosecuting attorney to check records for previous offenses, and it has been found that prisoners have pleaded guilty as first offenders rather than choosing to face the habitual criminal law. During the period covered by this report, 40 men with five previous convictions were sentenced as first offenders. Ten had served six terms, two had served seven, and one had served eight terms in prison. If the habitual criminal law were strictly enforced, it would mean that, considering the crowded condition of the state penitentiary, one of three things would have to be done: Many prisoners would have to be transferred to the state reformatory; or, Paroles and commutation standards would have to be relaxed; or, The capacity of penal institutions in this state would have to be increased.

Editor Daily Kansan; I heartily agree with the Kansan's recent article and criticism of the Symphony concert that seems to be causing such a furor among our pseudo-bohemian brothers in the Fine Arts School. I think that if the students in that school really searched their curriculum, they would to admit that the concert was honestly "stinking." Perhaps the orchestra and chorus should be complimented on their attempt to bring fine music to the students, but at the same time the slaughter that they make is a kind of luvor of music to distraction. The orchestra can at least start out with their instruments pitched in the key of C or A and let the soloists people in the fifth row could hear the inadequate number of volumes—and the chorus subdued so that the solist could be heard to say something other than There should be no criticism of the spirit that the concert unsuccessfully attempted to carry out, but no group of musicians have the right to charge the student body (for it must be remembered that the judge does receive the shades of Bach activity ticket) to insult the shades of Bach, Beethoven or Brahms. D.R.W. Editor Daily Kansan: A crushing blow has been dealt a certain group of young women on the campus with the warning of George Snyder, campus patrolman, that there shall be a fight on campus between students on running boards because of the danger involved. Almost it has become a K. U. tradition for students to see two or three cars literally decorated and bedded with coords driving up and down and around campus, but not only for the beauty and make a picturesque place of the University was no doubt in the back of the riders' minds for obviously they were not bent on getting any particular place in a hurry, and more often than not there were no less conspicuous places in unoccupied Less fortunate students, however, will re do welcome the "safety measure". Not that they have been instructed to wear a helmet; nor can the drivers of the show cars have usually managed to go slowly enough that all the occupants might be positively identified; but somehow it gets them off course. We did not perform each day the same ostentatious stunts.

Children of Today Must Learn Emotion Does Not Solve Problems "To teach children that problems are never solved on an emotional basis is the problem of our generation," said Prof. Bert A. Nash, of the School of Education in a recent radio address over station KFKU. His subject was "The Sears of Battle." “As we study the history of mankind through the centuries we see that the impatience and suspicion of one nation toward another have been in the background of human history. We know that jealousy have been behind our national hates during recent years, just as they were the basis of the triwarf battle in primitive times. It is really rather absurd for us to talk about the conquest of fear, suspicion, jealousy and other people generally without starting in the earliest training of children to work on these objectives.” Real Scar Is Fear Professor Nash went on to say that there is some degree of healing which takes place in the wounds of battle, and that only the scars may be left. The most dangerous cases are those in the physical make-up of individuals, nor in the desolation which death and destruction may visit upon a home where loved ones have been killed. The real scars are the low-friction injuries such as tears, and the emotional and nervous disorders which are left. "Just as battles and wars and revolutions spring primarily from the emotional disorders of nations, so also do the difficulties between individuals come primarily from permitting our emotional selves to dominate our intelligence. Our struggles between personalities are traced to the same basic factors of fire, envy, selfishness and hate." Unhappiness in Homes Some homes, according to Prof. Nash, encourage the very foundation of most human unhappiness. Children are encouraged to be suspicious and selfish. Such a child is not fitted with a good foundation for living with them. The persons who are suspicious and selfish are looking for opportunities to be hurt afresh. The scars of battle are those from violence and abuse inside on the basis of the present critical reactions which the sensitive person has for the behavior of others. These scurs which remain after the conflict is over, and destroy the effectiveness of many persons. "I am not advocating that the child withdraw from conflicts nor run from struggles which they hold to be important. Instead I am sug- geasing that many of our conflicts and battles are emotional in nature and do not arise from intelligent consideration."
