Comment
"Goldbricking" on the CSEP
It is an unfortunate circumstance that even among college students conscientiousness is not universally prevalent. The result has been that a few students have gotten CSEP jobs who do not need them, but who by devious means, in spite of a nearly foolproof administration, have secured the positions "as a means of picking up a little money without doing anything."
The fact too, that some students who really need the positions "sit down on the job," is unfortunate. By their own willfulness or through lack of supervision they cease to be gainfully employed, although their money continues to be paid by the kindly, sympathetic, and a trifle easygoing government. To use the old army term, these students are "goldbricking."
These two points we raise not in criticism of the law which established the NYA and the CSEP but in criticism of the people who are aided by that law, that is, a few of them.
If the CSEP is to be maintained and it should be we feel, these points of minor infection should be healed, not by the administration but by the recipients of the jobs themselves. Else, even our college students, like many relief employees, will become victims of age-old "the world owes me a living tra-la-la" complex.
It is true that even when the students loaf through a year on the CSEP society gains (we hope) by her having the youth of the country educated.
Nevertheless, it is unfair to the spirit in which the administration was established and unfair to those many who conscientiously perform their jobs and complete their projects but come to be judged by the dilatory few. Moreover, the whole NYA raises a black eye.
It is evident that a "mending of the ways" of some students should materialize.
For Glory Or---?
A recent cartoon appearing in the Chicago "Daily News" shows, among other things, a man representing the college counting thousands of dollars while a football star looks on, musing "If I took a couple of bucks they'd can me."
Yes, the cartoon is concerned with the current debate over sponsored college football games. Since the Atlantic Refining Company announced that it intended to sponsor a number of games in the East this fall, several other advertisers have made like arrangements. The Ohio Oil Company will broadcast the entire Notre Dame schedule, Dodge Motor Car dealers will sponsor the majority of the games the University of Minnesota will play, and so on. But still nothing is said concerning that absorbing question—what is the football player going to get out of it?
It's a curious situation. It is one thing to be fighting for the dear old Alma Mater, but another to be giving one's all for the Ohio Oil Company. Perhaps the player is supposed to look at it philosophically and say, "This is no concern of mine. What if the college does use me to make money? I still have the glory . . ."
But it's hard to eat glory, and most football players could use a little money to good advantage. And even if they didn't need it, they should still be paid for they have as much right to the sponsor's money as the college. Perhaps more, for it is the players who risk their necks. The college may train the men and supply the stadium, but the fact remains that it is the team that takes the chances. There should be some compensatin.
Student Snobberv
"A man named Bradley said that snobbery is the pride of those who are not sure of their position," according to the Oklahoma Daily.
It is slightly disconcerting to meet fellow students on the campus or downtown and not so much as exchange a "hello." And it is even worse to be met with a blank stare when students speak to students whom they have often seen in classes and elsewhere.
Have you ever tried the game of speaking to people? And have you ever tried returning the greeting, when others speak to you?
Snobbery is as out of place on a university campus as a heavy snow fall in August in Kansas. In the first place students are students and should be well aware of their position. Secondly, it is advisable to speak to the fellow members of your classes for no other reason than that you may some day be desperately in need of their help in preparing a lesson.
The University of Kansas has been referred to as having a democratic atmosphere. Are you going to help to keep it democratic?
For Value Received
Since time immemorial it has been the unchallenged prerogative of the older, and sometimes wiser, members of an institution to benefitically hand out free advice to the younger members.
Here is another word of counsel to freshmen students which may be catalogued and shelved along with the "don't cut your classes," "attend the student forums," and other well-meant bits of advice from students and people higher up on
the college scale who probably wish they had done the same.
Psychologists tell us, and most of us have at some time already been made uncomfortable aware of the fact, that the average human memory is remarkably short lived. This revelation leads one to the sad realization that a great many of the valuable and trivial theories, facts, and generalizations for the sake of which we spend many hours of study and worry during a four year college course will shortly be irretrievably lost to us unless something is done to keep them constantly within our reach.
The only plausible and satisfactory method of accomplishing this goal is to make a gradual accumulation of our college text books. Shelved according to subject matter and conveniently indexed, it would be a trivial duty to brush up on the date of the Protestant Revolt when the minister was invited for dinner, or to write a paper for the study club on the Romantic poets, with a nineteenth Century English Literature book looming large and impressive on the book shelf.
Largely for financial reasons, students in the past and present have persisted in the habit of selling their used text books. That they were at the same time bartering a good part of their semester's learning away seldom occurred to their minds. Therefore, new students, as another bit of advice to be pounded into your unwilling ears, we counsel you, guard and preserve your text books as a valuable part of your education.
Campus Opinion

Editor of Daily Kansan:
This is a lament. The time has come when we scarf coeds are driven from our "homes" (yes, that's what I mean) here at K U. to the dark lovers lanes, the downtown intersection, where many joints to entertain our gentlemen朋友 after 8:00 am.
Of course, it's much safer five miles from town in the countryside. If you want to stay home, we were so apt to create disturbances or go down the "primrose path to the everlasting benfires" for a day, that Alasdaft's allied attempts to make the world safe for us, and showed it to us.
Some of us attach a significance to that word, Home et al., with strangers it can be to be a shelter, a welcome place, or an affectionate word.
In my respective homes, both my mother and my step-mother are intelligent and wise enough to realize served thru welcome and ease at home. I have never been in a situation where I would gun, or some nonsensical "tattoo"—and embarrassing me or a guest with orders to peace, just any order, parked on a street or in a parking lot, and parked cars have held very little attraction.
Miss Meguel, campus "mothers," and contemporary coachee, I think we have something to remember to do with the students. Remember to the "straight and narrow," and stay off the front porch (There should be an alley near, and if not there) alley.
Yours, indignantly. H.A.M.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Wanted! And in this case, needed is a synonym for wanted. In the example above, a system that will tell a balloon is a thief must be
In the fall, sometimes until as late as early November, and in the spring, from October to December, other activities held there. Of course people like to dance in the fall, so it is often a good idea to off and up the year. But at all seasons, disguise that for an hour or two of entertainment, clothes must be ruined at least, made unwearable until the next season.
This situation could be quite easily remedied. If a team had to operate in a cold environment cooled and circulated and people could dance in comfort. Since the ballroom serves as large a number of rooms, it might be possible for the future for the Union to move its ballrooms in the new future for the Union.

Received a letter today from the headquarters of the First Voters League. It seems that within a few days the Victims of Future Taxes unit of this organization will start a tour to the nation's compaess stage demonstration and to present its "Barrel Show" an exhibition in protest against high taxes
According to the organization "the first voters of today are the taxpayers of tomorrow." Then to more casual words, "The President's lovely smile unfortunately cannot be cast at the bank because he values the deficit he has raised to more than 34 billion." We gather from their statements that they have a great dislike for the taxes enforced by the present Administration. We do look forward to their show on our campus wherein the performers who take the part of young sex education in school will pay subtracting the portions representing taxes. Hope they have a hey of gorgeous beauties.
From the "Student Life" of Washington University - a paragraph-elevating at least "Kansas University is one of its most important to have theories on its campus."
One week ago last Friday, David Lloyd George, Britain's war-time prime minister termed Chancellor Adolf Hitler of Germany "one of the greatest men I ever met." Last week he sent his memorial containing a message to the American activities during the World War to the publisher. We are wondering what he will come out with next Friday. Shall we say that the World anxiously awaits the words that will flow from the pen of this statement? Maybe there would be better if we would answer about what might come from him.

Strange as it may seem, a small percentage of each Kansas taxpayer's dollar is used to purchase flags for the state University. And just because th institution happens to be located on hill where it is usually windy.

The flag on the pole in front of the Union building is put up every morning and taken down each night during the school year. Although the flag is never put out in rain weather, a surprise shower often occurs before it can be run down. However, in fair weather the flag stays in the sun and torn by the veering wind that often prevails on Mount Greed, so that it is necessary to buy two flags each year for this pole alone. The flag that was purchased last spring is still in use.

but will soon have to be replaced by a new one.
University Daily Kansan
Because of the extreme height of the pole, a flag stop Fraser hall does not remain intact as long as one on the Union pole. On an average, three or four flags are used each year for Fraser. Students in the library have been able to hear the flag flapping in the breeze. The one in use at present is on the University campus, only the one that hangs outside the door of the post office in the basement of the Administration building is safe from the elements. D.A.
