PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY. OCTOBER 20, 1936 Comment In the Spotlight Right now we must call her Kansas, the irrepressible. For years her light was hidden under a bushel, her name the synonym for a vandeville hayseed. But she went her plowing way, oblivious of the jikes at John Brown, Sockleys Jerry, Carrie氮, grasshoppers and cyclopes. Now she may preen herself on what some of her sons have accomplished of late. Governor Landon is the Republican nominee for President. The chairman of the national Republican Committee is another Kansan, John D. M. Hamilton. East Broderow, Communist candidate for President, is from Wichita—two presidential candidates from a single state, which is something of a record for versatility. Former Governor of Kansas, Harry Woodring, has just been named secretary of war. Harry W. Colmery, Topeka attorney, is the new national commander of the American Legion. Wesley Stout, native son who cut his journalistic teeth on Kansas newspapers, has just been named editor of the Saturday Evening Post, his long-time friend being Summer N. Blossom, editor of the American Magazine, who halls from Kansas City. Earl Johnson, another Kansas newspaper man, has within the last few months been appointed general news manager of the United Press. Edward R. Weidlein, University of Kansas graduate and head of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research in Pittsburgh, was elected president of the American Chemical Society, highest gift within the profession. Glemm Cunningham, probably the most consistent distance runner America has ever produced, returns to Kansas from the Olympic game with fresh laurels. want their natures. Are Kanans just being discovered? Or are they just putting their best foot forward? It must be the latter, because any state that calls William Allen White a native son is not exactly unexplored territory.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Leave It to the English We jaunt Americans have always considered ourselves fool proof in all cases of English opposition. We laugh at the thought of the English ever pulling the wool over our eyes. But whether or not we shall laugh last was brought to our attention recently by Richard Waide, president of the McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Mr. Waide, speaking before the Boston Conference on Distribution, pointed out bits of news behind the news which made those American gentlemen present sit up and take notice. He declared that powerful British interests are now seeking to influence American government and policies as well as American business. He estimated that they had already invested $6,000,000,000 in our corporations and in the property few years, and are seeking ways and means to insure the financial stability of the United States. Mr. Waldo stated that Lord Rothermere, British newspaper publisher and director of English financial operations in the United States, is believed to have recovered almost completely from a loss of $250,000,000 in the recent stock market crash. It was intimated by the speaker that British interests might be greatly benefitted by favorable appointments to the secretaryships of Treasury, Navy and Labor in the American cabinet. Significant events have been going on unbeknown to American newspaper readers, Mr Waldo continued. As an example, he said that Colonel Lindbergh made his trip of Europe primarily for the purpose of helping to complete the Anglo-Saxon airlines throughout the world. This would be done through the pooled resources of the United States and Great Britain. British leaders, he explained, see as great possibilities in the future air-borne traffic as the Elizabethans found in the sea. The English, it seems, are using our American newspapers and publications to their advantage. It is supposed until recently that this method has been just a little too subtle for us Americans to follow. Ultimately, if everything goes along smoothly for the British, the United States, as Samuel Crowder has suggested may become a valuable economic colony of the British Empire. In this case, the jolly old Englishmen will have a right to be amused. Bred, Bilt, Ment, Frend The thing has great possibilities. Noah Webster suggested spelling the words "bread" "built," "meant," and "friend," thusly; "bred," "bilt," "ment," and "friend." The paper's readers offered "rime," "enuf," "brite," "thru" etc. If we wanted to adapt such a plan around here, we could spell Noah Webster started the idea before the "News" was even born, and Theodore Roosevelt advocated such a plan of simplified spelling when president of the United States. But they didn't have a circulation of 2,000,000 (and 2,500,000 Sunday's) behind them every day to impress upon the public, through repetition, the new spellings. "Poto shows farmers fitting drout." Such is a sample of the new streamlined style gradually being put into use by the New York "Daily News", tableld with the largest circulation in America. If "science," literally, "wistle," "kernistry," "fiction," "tipperest," and what have you, "Wrestling" could be spelled "rasaling" and an ancient argument could be settled. As so many prior "exerts" to "extra," and "escape" to "escape," these, too, could be included. And now, if you'll excuse us, we'll fite our way thru the crowds getting out of scool and get sum-thing to eat. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansant Candidly, and with not a little doubt in their minds, many college women today are contemplating what they will do at the time of the school year when, if they have completed a four-year college course, it may surprise a few to learn that a good percentage of these women have been forced to begin learning or before attempting to "go on their own." private school matters, because just a little indifference that after having special four years in an institution of higher learning, the answer purpose of which is to prepare its students to take their places in the world, so many women graduates should feel themselves forced to undertake another year of study before they can call their education come true. we open both of women students because, but for the exceptional level, medicine, law, engineering, business administration, and the other schools of vocational training to be able to compete in the college field for women. To them are left the time honored "women's fields" of teaching and diathesis. Needless to say, many secondary courses will require women of livelihood. There is no plausible reason why colleges and universities would put into their curriculums courses in a foreign language, because the language belongs among many of their women students to what would seem an unusually extra year of time and expense for them. There is a widespread need for a course of this kind is only too obvious; and the colleges which first show their recognition of this need will demonstrate their willingness in help equally all of their students.

Eugene Walker, Vice-President Impressions of America Are Aired In Talks by Alexander and Moni Sen Mr. John C. Alexander, graduate of Ormont College of the University of Melbourne of Victoria, Australia, and Mr. Mali Sen, graduate of St. Stevens College of Delhi, India, spoke to University students about their impressions of America Tuesday at 4:20 p.m. in the studio. Both are members of the countries in which they attended college. Impressed by Language In an Australian accent, Mr. Alexander hold of preconceiving America as being dmeanate in everything; speed crazy,勇敢 to a fault, and covered with enormous engineering achievements. He was impressed by the differences in the language, traffic regulations, and atmosphere to religion. Tending to be essentially social in America, religious services have not the majesty and tremendousness of those in Australia. American university students in Australia tend to pursue modern occupational courses instead of the classics or philosophy as in customary among Australian students. "I was particularly impressed with the fine clothes the sweepers, the cooks, and everyone else wears in here in America," Mr. Son said. "The working class cooks are much better than they rather make their machetes. The custom of wearing one's best clothes to church is entirely foreign to India. White clothes of extreme simplicity are characteristic of church going in India where Sunday Masses occur. Utter Nakedness we call it." In contrast to the joint family system, the conservative customs and dress, and the hospitality of the East, Mr. Son will take the lead in the amount of social activity, and the Women in Minority Both speakers were brought to the University under the auspices of the World Student Christian Federation commission of the Y M.C.A.-W.Y.C.A.
