The Work Must Go On
Since Dyche museum of natural history was closed to the public Nov. 30, 1932, because the floors were unsafe, considerable work has been done on the building. But, it is still far from being completed. Appropriations from the State legislature and funds received under the PWA, financed the remodeling work.
First of all, the various displays and the vast panorama in which specimens of all the larger North American mammals were exhibited in their natural habitat, were taken down and moved into the best available store rooms on the Hill. This panorama was the first of its kind in the world. Other natural history museums readily adopted the idea and it is now a common display arrangement. This collection of specimens, which belongs to the state of Kansas, is evaluated at a half-million dollars, a conservative figure.
Next the wooden floors of the building were torn out and replaced by concrete ones reinforced with a steel frame. The windows were closed in the process of making Dyche a completely modern museum with artificial lighting and ventilation.
Several dioramas, three dimensional scenes made of sculpturing and painting, were made with an anonymous gift from an interested friend of the University. The scenes vividly depict prehistoric animal life on the plains region.
All available funds have been wisely spent in the remodeling process, but those funds were not sufficient to complete the project. An additional $50,000 is needed to redecorate the interior of the building and set up the displays again.
Civil Service—?
In England, a young man plans years ahead in preparation for a career in government service—in America we leave these positions up to the politician and the ward heeler.
In England, Civil Service is a respected, responsible position with chance for advancement and decent salaries—in America, Civil Service is largely a political football and a spoil of the campaign combat.
In England, general intelligence tests, that are stiffer than anything ever handed out in a college final, weed out and select the best of the country's youth for responsible government jobs—in America, any man with the required number of strings to pull can get virtually any job in the service, provided he carries the right amount of influential weight.
In England, tax moneys are used to make for a smoothly running internal machine—in America, seven billion dollars barely keep the cogs running, let alone produce any amount of efficient achievement.
To the Civil Service on this side of the Atlantic goes the credit of being "America's most ideal democratic institution." When one investigates the fraud and political humbung involved in choosing the employees for the service, "democracy" becomes replaced with the more apt term, "spollage." When one investigates and finds the inefficiency, the waste and the unintelligence of employees that now hold responsible positions, the word "ideal" is overshadowed by the words, "damn foolish."
The much-touted Civil Service can more truthfully be retitled as "America's most damn foolish" of the 'spoilage' institutions."
Kansas Weather
Governor Landon made a claim Saturday that no Kansan—Republican or Democrat—will dispute when he declared that "Kansas has more weather to the square inch than any other state in the union." The capricious acts of the weather gods within the borders of this state could hardly be summed up better.
We shiver in sub-zero temperatures in the winter; swalter when the mercury zooms to 110 and above in the summer; watch crops wither in long periods of drouth; and experience disastrous floods when we least expect them.
If any other state has such a record, it hasn't made it known. California has its earthquakes; Florida its hurricanes; the northern states their long sieges of winter, but where else will you find all kinds of weather packed into a 12-month period?
Not that we are complaining. Kansans can "take it." We're hardy souls by nature. The pioneers who first settled the state set the example and we're following it. Kansas residents just grin and bear it, living in the hope that in the future Mother Nature will do something to even up the weather records.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan;
The Campus Opinion written by County Attorney Stevens demands a reply. Several conclusions at which he responds are made.
Mr. Stevens dwells at great length on the defenses of England, and he is aware that their defenses seem to arrive at the conclusion that they are not sufficient.
dazze attack, rolling up 217 yards from passing and keeping the crowd in a continual roar. This despite the fact that all of the game was played on a muddy field and the field was covered by the worst possible conditions for razzle-dazzle football.
True Fordham won but how much pourier S.M.U. rooters must be of their team than Fordham fans are?
Yet consider the facts. Fordham was an odds-on favorite to beat Southern Methodist. All of the football experts predicted a Fordham victory. And yet S.MU. played Fordham all over the field with their razzles-
Ohio State's defeat was not unexpected for the ex-convict. Ohio State got off to a bad start and couldn't win. Ohio State got off to a bad start and couldn't win.

Southern Methodist won all of 12 of its regularly played games last fall only in the 8th round, because the records of teams should be sufficient that their defenses Saturday can not be considered as a sign of weakness in the synergy.
It should also be noticed that when the mighty Minnesota team was in a tight spot Saturday in its game with Nebraska it resorted to one of the main weapons of the offense, the fireball. The team made out of the fire in the last two minutes of play.
If you are looking for a style of play that will answer majority of the times, riddle-darezle football is the answer. You can do it on your own.

We have been quick to criticise the faults of the Kansan of the past, nor do we believe the Kannam of the day to be beyond improvement, but just so surely as we were quick to criticise in the past, we are now ready

both sides of the discussion will be in the 200 word limit, but if we are too straight-forward for you, print them out.
Why all the quibbling about the athletic question concerning the football team and the coaching has been inounced officially that Ad Lloyd is a pitcher for the Scout and quit. We understand that his papers—himself

Now isn't that simple? Of course it can take a convolutional hill to put it through, but we can surely raise our confidence.
Editor Daily Kansan:
In answer to the royal "all conference high school football player" who now is a member of the K. I. team, he complains that the coach enquired the so-called "beer-drinking frat men" for their attitude toward the team in general, and pointed with a finger at the behavior. The coach might say that at no time could he have written such an article which conclusively proves the attitude of the K.I. team.
No one questions that this school does not have foot-
basket material—it has always had football material SO
WITH IT.
Your opinion was written Friday before leaving for the immortal Iowa State game. That night, one of the most successful and finest rallies that has been held in Iowa State history did not come from the team off to Iowa State. What was the score?
Our present head coach lost his job at Alabama for the very same reason attacks are being leveled now. Lindsay knows his football, but he sadly lacks the skills to "put it over" and make the boys really work.
Even you will agree to, if you are a football player—every other man down there does.

P. I, S. I am not a believer in the "open type" football game. I only want to see a man who can make a hack down the field and smack it down and like it back up. I do not know an antagonistic manner when he fails to do it correctly.

Little Johnny Student heard the band start to play and he pulled himself to the ground. He thought it must be done. He thought it must be the Alma Mater. He mumbled along as most of them seemed to be doing and then came out strong on, "Hall to these our Alma Hair Game to K.S.U. The football team had been playing for a long time," the band played, "I'm a Jayhawk." Johnny liked the song. It was peppy and had a swing, but he didn't know the words, so he just tapped his foot. They laughed and pleased to know that at this moment a plan is planning in the minds of several persons, a plan by which they hope the songs of the University will become
Not Too Late To Begin
Prof. Russell L. Wiley, the band leader, says, "We ought to have pep conventions; that is, a series of pep meetings, at the beginning of each school year. Minneapolis copies of the school songs should be given to every student in the schools but also learn the words. It is not too late to begin this year." He said further that these conventions need not be held at night but might, with the sanction of the administration, be held in a regular convention during the spring.
At the present time Professor Wiley is having arrangements made of every school song ever written for the University and a new arrangement of the Almo Mater. His band will learn this song and many others which are suitable for general use.

we are badly in need of good school songs. "Crimson and Blue" and 'I'm a Jayhawk' are the only ones we use. I am in favor of running a campaign for new songs. We should have four or five songs we can count on."

March! March! Up! Up victory trail
With the co-operation of Professor Wiley and his band, the cheerleaders, the administration, and all the little Johnny Studium, perhaps the University of Kansas may uncover or create a great home among an outstanding Kansas passion.
Museum Field Expedition One of Most Successful To Be Sent Out in 35 Years
The museum of birds and mammal and museum of vertebrate paleontology have reported that their field trip, last summer one of the most successful of the expeditions sent out by the University during the past 35 years in respect to the number of specimens collected.
The party, composed of Otte Teremier, c'79, Francis Parks, 36, Joe Tewen, c'40, and Claude Hibbard, assistant curator of vertebrate paleontology, left for the field June 1, intending to confine their excursion to checking back finds reported since the museum closed. They returned, however, with a wealth of new discoveries, many of which are best be without duplication in the world.
Grants for annual field trips stopped in 1931 coincident with closing of the Dyche museum of natural history, and were resumed last number on a frugal basis that necessitated the collaboration with the experimental field trips a curtial enclosure.
The Wyoming field mouse made a bad move by coming to Kansas for the news, in that the Jayhawks diminished the wandering rodents' number by about 75. A number of rare Kane birds were found in University's large and beautiful collection.

Five times as many specimens as have been collected by the museum were taken and sent to Dr. Alexander Whit, more formerly of the University and now with the Smithsonian Institute, for identification.
The "prize specimen" of the expedition was a complete specimen of a frog, submitted by Frank Studer, Meade University. The trip would have been considered highly successful had this specimen been the only thing collected. Amateurs spotted much valuable material in search of frogs and other animals to use as desktops and paperweights.
