PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS / TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1936 Editorial Comment Opportunity Wasted It is too often said that the students at the University do not appreciate or enjoy classical and semi-classical music. From the students' responses last season, the University Concert Course did not fail to gain and hold the interest of the majority of the student body. During the coming season an exceptionally fine concert course has been planned which includes Mischa Elman, one of the world's foremost violinists; the internationally famed Jouss ballet, Serge Rachmaninoff, one of the outstanding composers and pianists of the age, and the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. Some of the students may argue that they cannot afford to attend the concerts this year. The student activity ticket makes it possible for the students to attend the concerts at 20 cents per concert. At that price, they cannot afford to stay away —it is an opportunity that is not likely to come again. If you are one of those individuals who do not appreciate the fine arts, remember that you must come in contact with them to appreciate them. You must expose yourself to them. But if you are one who enjoys them, do not miss a single one of this splendid and exceptionally fine concert course. Father Coughlin's latest apology is for his support of Mr. Roosevelt in 1932. In that stand he must have considerable silent company. Or it is shortly going to be popular to speak out on it? -Kansas City Times.

Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan Here is another year and I want to make my compliments now in hope that a word in time will save mine or nine or something. Anyway there are a lot of little things around the campus that have been annoying me for many moons and I'm sure if they are brought to the attention of the proper persons now, while it is early, they can be corrected and life will be made easier for all of us, especially me. First: This business of standing in line for enrollment. Did you ever get at the head of the line at your hour? Of course not. Or did you ever know anyone who did? Don't tell me, I know. Are those super-humans who get in line first, who hold up progress, who deter the rest of us in our efforts to obtain an education? I believe an example should be made of them. They should be taught how to stand and to make sure to wait until all the normal students have enrolled. Second: Lansing holds no harriers after the registration inquisition. Incarceration after such an ordeal might even be welcome. Perhaps its necessary to have each student fill out cards for everyone from the Y.M.C.A. to the jailer so that they may have their curiosities satisfied and know all the intimate details of our various lives but I am going to fool them this year and write in a different description on each one. I'm going to raise a moustache and put a patch over one eye for my picture, then they will put a nose on. Floyd Gibbons and maybe that will put a stop to that. Third: Since this is a democratic school where everyone is equal I see no reason for giving the members of the Men's Student Council fifty-dollar-sold-walnut-leather-upolished chairls that while the rest of us squgat about on initial duty, we don't squgat about if they saw our councils' meeting room and furnishment. I'll bet if they could see it they'd sit right down and pen a letter to Norman Bel Geddes asking him to please do something about it and then when somebody asks them for enough money to build that new wing on the building, they'll call them to on back since they have so much money. If something can be done about these things now before it is too late the school officials will have earned the approval to close. Yours respectfully, K. E.P.

"Spot news" is the term for such stories in journalistic parlance, and they make up a large portion of every paper. But there is another type of writing which, to complete the simile, resembles not a telegram but an informal letter to a friend. It goes beyond mere facts to the human side of the news. Informality is not only given but the facts are composed upon, interpreted, and elaborated. for the football, basketball, or tennis team. The student cannot be on the go all the time, a perpetual motion machine has not yet been invented. There are times when he wants to stop and relax as it. He has time to learn in full enjoyment, being on the computer or out in the world. The editorial pages of the Kansas, with its feature section, is intended to meet this need. The editorials themselves interpret the news items and give the reader something to think about. The features introduce him to prominent or interesting persons and things on and off the campus. This year seems to be a 'Flagger and Better' one in many departments, and the editorial page of the Kanan is no exception. In the past there have been such features as interviews with visiting celebrities, descriptions of the latest discoveries in science departments, letters from students touring abroad, thumbnail sketches of campus personalities, book reviews, a joke column, the reporter who interviews anyone on anything, the newspaper editor who can air his collar and little glove, a descriptive title of unknown origin coined to indicate a short story or paragraph of a humorous or interesting nature. This year, the department is sizzling with new thoughts and ideas, which will become evident with each issue of the Kansan. Any comments or criticisms by the readers will be welcome. It is your page.

Iva's Beauty Shops Experienced Operators Only. The first question involved is, how many hands to chew on at one time. A survey taken among the students on the campus indicates that it is considered a sign of extreme greed, and a hand gesture that is used to aggressively chew occupiers himself with both hands at once. Also this breadth of etiquette results in remarkable physical abnormalities, such as stretching the mouth, displacing the teeth, and in extreme cases might dislodge the jaw. This is why it takes a time is a requirement of good manners. Phone 533 941 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Mass. St. In the best circles, it will be found that the daintest of people confine their chewing to one finger at a time. They say that the placing of five fingers in the mouth is an excess, which is not in accord with good breeding. LAWRENCE BUSINESS COLLEGE W. H. Quakenbush, Pres. E. S. Weatherby, Supr.

The most polished of fingernail chewers express the belief that the aesthetics of this art dictate the use of certain fingers as an expression of certain moods. The thumb expresses more rugged moods, an determination, dominance, and stubbornness. The index finger with a slight bend can feel more emotionally engaged. The third finger, say the elite, is used to express strong emotional stress. Exasperation, irritation, ferocity, and all shades of anger should result in a shortening of this nail and no other. The fourth finger is the typification of bewilderment, perplexity—the finger used by a man who is surrounded by difficulties from home or school. But this finger will take within the next week! But the little finger is the most intricate to use correctly. It is the emote of the gentler emotions.
