Ninety Days to Live
Once upon a time, nine long years ago, there was some scrap lumber and sidings left from the farms of the stadium. With this choice material a group of handball courts were constructed. These courts, supported at present by intercollegiate athletics, have grown in popularity until the estimated number who now use the courts—counting rotation—is between five and eight thousand a year. Naturally the courts are not what they once were. They have, in fact, most decidedly served their purpose.
Loove, rough, nail-studded floors, and holes in the roof and walls are the predominant characteristics of the courts. At the most the courts can only last several months because they are in the last stages of rotting. Like the one-horse-shaft, they are beyond repair and cannot be built over.
It is a sad state of affairs when a large group of students are forced to play on ancient, rotting courts. Not only is it tiring and uncomfortable—it is downright dangerous. The condition of the floors makes it almost impossible to play the fast game that handball is without sustaining some injury. One student fell to the floor and tore a ligament in his leg because of the rough boards. Another slipped and fell and gashed his leg—he still has the scars to show for it. Nails in the floor project from the boards and tear the players' feet and bring destruction to tennis shoes.
It is time the University erected new courts. Eight could be built on the present site, using penchantive humber and bricks. Some declare that new courts cannot be built until 1945 when the stadium is paid for, but this is laughable. By 1945 the present courts would resemble the rotting bulk of a long-forgotten ship, and repair is out of the question.
"Shop Talk---"
Are the players to go on losing balls through the holes in the walls and ceiling, injuring themselves, and suffering general discomfort during the few more months that the courts can stand, and then be forced to wait until 1945 for new courts?
That, too, is laughable
When Marlen Pew, editor and vice-president of "Editor and Publisher" retired last June to live the life of a country squire at Wading River, Long Island, the word of his resignation came as a blow to every city newsroom. Having spent 51 of his 58 years in and around newspapers, he had become one of the greatest and best known newspaper men in history.
Now Marlen Pew is dead. He was the friend of every newspaper man whose motives he knew to be sincere. In his fearless expression of hatred for those whose motives he had cause to suspect, both within and without the newspaper business, and in his lively comment in his column "Shop Talk at Thirty," will rest his fame.
Progressing from news boy to editor and vice-president of "Editor and Publisher," Marlen Pew became, in turn, reporter, news manager, and editor of various publications. During the World War he was the press representative of the Secretary of War, organizing the War Department News Bureau and the system of publishing American casualty lists. He also organized the system of securing authorized press statements from the Army and Navy, and he was one of the organizers of the United Press, news service.
Marlen Pew became editor of "Editor and Publisher" in 1924. There he began his weekly column, "Shop Talk at Thirty," one of the best features of the magazine. Just before he went to the hospital for the throat operation which proved fatal, he sent in two "ShopTalks" to be used during his recovery. Only one remains. No more columns will be pounded out with his two-fingered system on the battered old typewriter for the fingers of the beloved Marlen Pew are forever stilled.
"Neglected" Schools
Those "neglected" Kansas schools, according to a report from the federal office of education, are being maintained at a cost above the national average.
The report, based upon the biennial survey of education in the United States, shows that the annual per capita cost in Kansas is $14.31 as compared with the national average of $13.54. The lowest cost, $4.83, is found in Arkansas, and Nevada boasts the highest, $23.11.
Kansas makes a capital outlay of $5.89 per pupil while the average outlay for the nation is only $2.24. The current expenses per pupil enrolled amount to $58.80 in Kansas. The national average is $62.52.
He Merely Stated
French judicial authorities have a very weighty problem to solve. Colonel Francis De La Roque, rightist leader, recently made a
speech at Valenciennes and the officials have been instructed to discover whether De La Rocque said "We will spill blood if necessary," as leftists claim, or whether he merely stated "We are ready to spill all our blood for our country."
Leaving aside the merits of the leftist and rightist groups, consider that last remark. It is a very good example of the psychology and general trend of opinion in a nationalist nation.
gender it trends. The header merely stated that he was willing for thousands of young men to be slaughtered to carry on the traditions of France, that was perfectly all right. The matter from the French point of view would not even be arguable.
Before diplomats can get anywhere with peace pacts, armament reductions, etc. they must educate the public to see the idiocy of the principle of a misguided nationalism supported by nothing more substantial than false patriotism. As long as they accept it implicitly there can be no permanent peace.

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editor Dilly Kallen, 51, was a two-year man, but unlike the corres-
pondent, PHC. hcterday, I am very much interested in politeness. When I came to the conference, I truly felt the most democratic, I too went to meetings of parties. Pacchiamae会议 lasted over two hours. There were 15 upperclassmen, 28 fraternity members, and 40 present; I present my upperclassman made a speech. Not one gave any facts or figures except "Twenty-five years we have endeavored to improve ourselves at the First P.S.G.L meeting, there were ten frat men, 40 independent and four upperclassmen. There was one short talk with me about how things change when you are as he did them."
when I knew beaver years. The PSGL started two years ago to try to stop the dirty policies which had been running this campus for years. Pachaeamus had been caught red-hot didyed barking boxes more than once.
added stuiling bureau projects. During three short months in office last spring, PS I should have included its three campaign pledges. The third pledge, for a rooming house commission, was impossible to set up at the end of the semester.
Also in April, 1836, when the P.S.G.L. belt a 14 to 19 majority on the council, the freshman and sophomore classes were given their council votes. (Of course, the freshman and sophomore class presidents had only been granted the right to sit on the council but without a vote from the council sessions had already argued to everyone.)
These are facts not misleading generalizations ame,
"hull." The statement that independent freshmen don't have full opportunity in P.S.G.L. is tooilly to answer.
There are no facts or figures, not statements without any proof.
Yours for the truth.

He may never have heard of the hundreds of students that are enabled to stay in school because of the C.S.E.P. funds, and he may not know of the funder of the C.S.E.P. standards (Sour grape?). The university is to make progress along these lines.
The aim of the University is to make progressive more accessible to the whits and captives of the so-called campuses.

'Group Language' Not What it Is Cracked up To Be, Finds Sociology Prof
By Louis Fockele, c. 29
The proverbial tables were turned recently when Magpie Smith, associate professor of sociology, received a lesson from his class and learned if a "bone brain" didn't "stink out." He also probably have to use a "erb" or else "funk out," and be forced to "apple polish" in order to pass, unless he was taking a "snap course."
Mr. Smith was discussing "group-language" with his sociology class when the avalanche of slang terms struck him. The list was compiled by members of the class who revered the usual process and taught the teacher the lessons. Many quizzes and very intellectual forms were turned in.
Or else Joe might be his "fairy toll" and "throw," a milder one by going to the "flicker" where they would "hold fine," and after the pitcher going to "eeker on an upstairs ball" they climb into the "deep breath," drive out to some country road and do a little "mousing" or "murgle," or else
The Professor was amazed to learn that if "Joe College" had a date with "Batty High School" they would probably jump to the "struggle buggy" to go "across the border" to the "bright lights" where they would steal into some "dive" to "truck it out" and then come home "looped to the gills" after having had a "fat time."

By Virginia McAllister, C37
In the 70 years that the University of Kansas has been in existence, students have far from its doors to be scattered over the entire face of the earth. From the ranks of these 17,000 graduates and former students have come outstanding thinkers, scientists, builders, leaders, in fact, in intelligence every branch of humankind endeavor.
Re. Virginia McAllister, c'37
If Joe "stands up" his "date" and takes a "run out powder" he will probably get "fluffed off" and consequently there will be no "putting out the pin". But if he "patches ball" the right way, his fine faint lip will be slick to a slush and they will "hunghole" and a "merger" will result.

Perhaps at this particular time Governor Alf M. Landon of the class of 1988, and now Republican nominee for President of the United States, has stood among men and women. His swift rise from business man to governor to candidate for the highest office of the United States has caused the public eye to be turned not only into him but also upon his University.
Many Scientists in Group
Following is an explanatory list with which to decipher the foregoing lings, and a few of the more interesting terms not used, as defined by the
But Governor Landon is not alone among University of Kansas alumni in his outstanding achievements in the political field. The University can boast among its alumni Kansas' Attorney General, Claence V. Beck; '26; the United States District Attorney, S. S. Alexander; '07; two members of the Supreme Court of Kansas, Walter G. Thiele, 130; and Hugo T. Wedel, '15; '120; 10 district judges of Kansas; seven state senators, and eight U.K. men are in the United States Congress, one senator, the famous W. E. Borah, f89; from Idaho; and seven members of the House of Representatives, two from California, two from Oklahoma, one from Wyoming, and two from Kansas.

Albuquerque are constantly achieving success in the field of medicine. Dr. Logan Clendening, who writes syndicated articles on medical topics which appear in many newspapers over the country, is a K. U. graduate and a clinical specialist in the surgery division of the Mayo Clinic is a K. U. man. Dr. Claudie Dixon, 19, Lyle Gifford Boyd, 31, and her husband, Dr. William C Boyd, were the first to tabulate blood groups in ancient races of humans. They have developed methods of research—opening up a new road back into the past.
Many facts requiring the greatest of engineering skill have been performed by University of Kansas graduates. The installation on the British Isles of the European end of the first trans-Atlantic wireless telephone was supervised by a K. U. man, Austin Bailey, 15. The first bridge over to span the Grand Canyon of the Colorado was likewise like an embankment of a Jayhawker, A. M. Meyers, 88. Wilson S. Kinnear, 48, built the great tunnel under the Detroit river, coating $90,000,000.
This is the record of the past and present. What will the future bring?

Let the reader be assured that pounding his knuckles against the wall will do no good.
It is often astonishing what variations the fairer sex can devise on common enough name-themes. For instance, we find Caroline, Caroline, Carotyn, and Carolene; Marjorie, Marjorie, Marjorie, and Marjorie; though Marierie is by far the most popular. There seems to be little choice between Lucile and Lucille, each one occurring 15 times. For Marguerite, there is Marguerita, Marguerita, and Marguerita. Evelyn may be spelled either as Evlyn or
HER BIG THRILL
The most common feminine name?
Yes, you guessed it, that grand old name, Mary. There are exactly one hundred and six Marys listed in the director's list. The next most common is 82 of these. Then comes Dorothy with 60, Ruth with 58, Jane with 43, and Helen with 37. Curiously enough, there seems to be only one way to spell these most popular names. At least we find no Jayes, though one of them says "that thing does get away with Helen.

Browsing through the new Student Directory we find that 14 young ladies who bear this very intriguing name spell it Catherine, while almost the same number prefer Katherine. Kathryn is a poor third in popularity, there being only six viores dabbed so. Two spell the name Katheryn; two Katherine, and only one uses the variations of Cath�ine, Kathærine, and Katrνye. The possibilies of this name have really been criminally neglected because what is known about its authenticity. What about Katherine, Katrın, and Cath arhγyne? Let's try a little harder mothers!
