Editorial Comment
Social Security for Kansas
In order for Kansas to participate in the federal social security plan, there must be an amendment made to the state constitution. It is necessary that there be a special session of the legislature to draft this amendment so it can be presented to the voters of Kansas at the regular election in November. If there is a delay in preparing the amendment, the vote cannot be taken until 1938.
The legislative council has drafted amendments for consideration at the special session. In part one of the amendments reads, "Nothing contained in this constitution shall be construed to limit the power of the legislature to enact laws providing for financial assistance to aid infirm or dependent persons; for the public health; unemployment compensation, and general social security and providing for the payment thereof by tax or otherwise and to receive aid from the federal government therefor."
There is general support for the purposes of the social security plan, but there is difference of opinion on methods of attaining the goals. Governor Landon has stated that he does not believe the present federal social security bill is workable.
But slight differences of opinion on methods should not stand in the way of making some form of social security legislation possible for Kansas. The people of Kansas need all of the advantages the federal program has to offer, and they cannot receive benefits from this national effort until the state constitution approves of it. Kansas needs security for the welfare of its citizens.

University Individuality
It cannot be the aim of the University to produce men and women along the same lines as a manufactured product is produced in the factory. On the contrary, its purpose is to bring out the best qualities in a student—the traits of originality, initiative and leadership. Years spent at college are important in the development of character, and their influence cannot but help mould the individual. In most cases, too, they are determining factors in shaping his natural abilities.
It has been the tendency of many colleges to stifle individualism, so as to establish a so-called college spirit. Too much stress is laid upon the attainment of group feeling, and unconscious individualism is submerged. Particularly is this true of the "college town" university, where the day is practically mapped out for the student and he follows the crowd from morning to night. Men who see each other from day to day are bound to take on some common characteristics. But when the men in our universities begin to lose their individual identity, and become insignificant units in the undergraduate body, obviously the universities are not serving their primary purpose.
However, individualism which is so prevalent as to cause a lack of interest in campus activities is by no means to be desired; yet the other extreme, where loyalty to campus activities is made all important is even more pernicious. A happy medium between individualism and college spirit is to be sought after, the attainment of which will justify the college's primary aim.—McGill Daily.
By acting as a mere unit, all the student's originality tends to become snuffed out. Initiative loses itself behind the force of undergraduate opinion. Prevailing campus opinions begin to be accepted, merely because they are the opinions of the majority, without any logic being employed by the student.
More and more people are beginning to doubt whether the more the country owes the more prosperous it will be—Indianapolis News.
Democratic Townsend
One can hardly help admiring the democratic spirit of Dr. Francis E. Townsend when it is learned that he is so democratic that he places his picture in a prominent place with the picture of Washington. This unmistakable evidence of personal democracy appeared in a manual of the Townsend movement.
Doesn't that make a warm feeling fill one's heart? Doesn't that kind of a man make every little boy want to do great things when he grows up. And isn't one proud of the fact that the intelligent and mellowed members of this society display their sagacity by subscribing to such a plan?
Every member of the coming generation, the college generation, if you please, should take a pledge saying that he will, as soon as he has reached the requisite age, join the OARP or some movement. Let the pledge include also a resolution to the effect that non-members of the organization be censured at every opportunity for their ignorance and bigotry.
Since there seems to be some danger at the present time that there will be an organization of "Future Townsendites," steps should be taken at the first opportunity to stamp the insidious germ before it can grow.
What! No Militarists?
There are no militarists! Startling as this statement may seem, if we but analyze the arguments of both the so-called "pacifists" and "militarists" we will find this statement true. Their difference is not one of categorical alignment, but rather factional dissension on how universally-desired world peace is to be obtained. The "militarists" would secure world peace by building huge armaments and great armies; the "pacifists", by abolishing all armies, navies and armaments. The ultimate aim, of course, is the abolition of war as the institution for settling international disputes.
If our consciences allow us to commit murder, either retail or wholesale murder, then we must support the institution, war. If our reason says war has been proved justified by the results it has achieved, then we must support that institution. If we believe that the purpose of world peace can be furthered by mass murder, then we must support war. But on the other hand, if we agree that the institution of war remains in our society merely because it is the oldest institution of man, and for no other reason, then we must and will condemn war of any kind—Iowa State Student.

Men on the 'Pan' Again
Now that we have heard a few of the women students express their sentiments through the Roving Reporter as to the desirability of having an intellectual date, we wonder just what kind of a date they really do appreciate. The always helpful college newspapers frequently interview the coeds as to what type of men are ideal.
An informal survey of the college press reveals that Stanford coeds insist that their ideal man must have, first of all, a sense of humor. Wealth, declare the maidens of the sunshine state, isn't essential, but it helps. Several Stanford women agreed that the ideal husband must be more intelligent and a little more superior than they. Individual tastes are shown by preferences for a man with a good suntan, for a good swimmer, a good dancer, and a man who is "fairly good-looking but not conceived."
At a Canadian university the women expressed their dislikes rather than their likes of male peculiarities. The girls in our neighboring nation put the blast on mustaches, pipes and prison haircuts. The girls also professed dibbiorrness of liquor in the bottle as well as on the breath. Hammie coeds reversed the field by saying, "I wouldn't look for intelligence in a man, for that would automatically limit my choice tremendously."
Coeds, it seems, are almost as confused on the question of what they like in men as are the men. Perhaps the correct approach to a solution of the mystery of woman is not to regard her as such a mystery at all. Anyway, let the women worry; it's leap year.

In 1957, the William Herbert Carruth poetry prize was awarded for the first time, in memory of a nationally-known poet who was a graduate of the University of Kansas and who for 30 years served as the director of the German department here.
Student Poets Receive Awards As Winners of 1936 Carruth Poetry Prize
This year, almost a decade later, talent in this field of writing is still being recognized with the awards made to five students. Martin Malonee (c'm), was awarded the award for essays judges from 22 entrants as winner of the first prize of $40. Alfred Ames, c'36, received the second prize of $40 and Marcy Chapman, gr, was awarded $50. Matthew Cox, c'36, went to Helen Davidson, c'36, and Harold Report, c'36, who will receive books.
The winning poem was entitled "The Hill: Snapshots from the Candid Camera," and contained verse pictures of campus types and personalities. It began by giving the poet's purpose of his virtuatures:
Here was a night of portents; when I came

"Commencement"
"Minnesota Summer" is the title of the poem by Alfred Ames. It is too long and only excerpts can be quoted here: The sun it hides still belld the stone, and the moon's light illuminates it.
We part with a wife as a prize to pay the score of our game. This life is not a chain of little deaths. This life is not a chain of little deaths. That we run their sessions which we have so loved and cared for, that we recognize some name, some favorite place, we can recall some name, some favorite place, we can recall some name, some favorite place.

Our world that smiled on us we leave at last:

Upon the plaiting ripples at my feet, the boat slips across the water. Creeping to shaded corries, damp with mosquitoes, I am pulled into the corries. The words yet stand in silentness, if as chiffon, Aero, Ascend, and dryness, dryness, dryness in the air. A distant row slowly sheds his rope. There is no cloud. There only seems to be light. There is no water.
As evening comes, the quiet scene "many deer and moses that long have been within the shelter of the woods." Alone he stranger stands—shield, bear, tree water.
The things of Nature and her elements are in their own, their natural state. The roots of plants are their nature; the roots of landy, city-like, those things are trees, and they appear curved in this. The things of the Earth are their nature.

"Beyond Sing the Wood," by Tryge Gulbramsen. Transcribed by Noam Walford. (Literary Guild, N. Y., 318 pp.)
The Bjordial family owns the forest guard of Bjorkland, near Himmarbo, Russia. The men are of great stature and strong wills. The women are kind and conservative. Both have the same ideals—to keep their lands and increase their wealth and to have sons to perpetuate their lives, their families. In the Bjordal family, of the life of Old Dag Bjordial is brought in also the short life of his brother Tore, whom he loved and admired so much.
Old Ann, the ancient mistress of the guard, officiates at all the important events of Bjorkland. Her will is law; her words are wisdom. But it is Old Dog, with his patriarchal concern, his friends, his relatives, that will linger in your memory.

mother, an "ideal set of parents," father is a newpaperman of California, also a dramatic critic, and like newswriters, he knows the importance of interest, variety and clamor. Of their life, simple but complete, Miss Pope writes with unfailing enthusiasm and vigor. The pages are full of quaint ideas, catch phrases and words. With love and wit, she centers upon the keynote of a situation thus making each picture, each incident, polignant with vitality and color. Your youthful sparkling wit and her keen enjoyment of her parenta and this light skim refreshing and winning.
"Asylum," by William Seabrook (Harcourt, Bruce and Co., N. Y, 1325 2035 pp.)
"Atec alcoholism was the way my commitment read when in the winter of 1833 my friends succeeded, just before Christmas, in having me committed, through the New York courts, for treatment and possible cure, to one of the oldest and largest insane asylums in the East." After his dismissal he writes, "Mentha have passed and I remember that I thought I worry much about it. I think I must be but I am less unhappy than I used to be when I tried to drown them, I seem to be cured of drunkenness, which is as may be."
It is of the interval of seven months while in the asylum that he writes this authentic, but highly-colored criticism of himself and the institution. In a conefire drumkran's fashion and language he describes his treatment, re-encountering some of the other inmates. The music matches the performances such mixtures will astound and also amuse you as they did Mr. Seahock, who had sought this sanctuary, for he was killing himself by drinking, and he did not want to die
