Use Your Opportunity
"The University gallery has a plan by which will aid in bringing your appreciation of the fine arts into full flower. For 25 cents a quarter you may rent pictures from the University art gallery. A choice may be made of one large picture, two medium sized or three small pictures, and students may exchange the pictures as often as they desire," according to the Minnesota Daily.
Although the University of Kansas does not have such a plan, it does have Spooner-Thayer Museum. This museum houses a wealth of material which appeals to any student's aesthetic sense. Mexican, Japanese and Indian art, jewelry, a glass collection, paintings—oil and water colors, famous old books and manuscripts are a few of the numerous things on display. The "Traveling Museum" brings collections of pictures painted by well-known artists to the University.
The cost is only the student's time. And the evaluation of a student's time makes a tour through the museum absolutely free. The museum is open to visitors every afternoon from 1 to 5. Why doesn't every student take advantage of his opportunity to see and appreciate art?
Much of the trouble in this world is caused by people making their bed and then trying to lie out of it. -Montana Exponent.

Turkish Crisis?
These days seem to be especially given over to the development of new European crises, and last Saturday proved to be no exception. For on that day the world was shocked to learn through the newspapers that Turkey had practised a little of Hitler's tactics and declared they would again arm the Dardanelles, that important eastern water way and break away from the European Trade Association. Turkish officials immediately published a loud denial but the world again stood tense with expectant waiting for something to crack at any minute.
Strangely enough, this one blast seemed to be the whole essence of the crisis, and it died down as quickly as it had begun. This is merely a rough guess as to what might have happened, but, due to the fact that press bounds failed to follow up the lead, the act was probably the result of German propagandists. The newhounds, hungry for a story, probably took their words for less than their face value for various reasons too unimportant to be mentioned.
It seems only logical that Herr Hitler would want to take the eyes of the world away from his Rhine valley activities. What would be a better alternative? He would attractive crisis at some other European center.
Maybe this guess is true and again maybe it isn't. At any rate the way things have been going on in Europe for the last few months fills our minds with many conjectures, any one of which might be true.

When Girls Study
Whoever the inventor was she has earned the title of the world's greatest optimist—she evidently believed it was possible to gather ten to twenty coeds around a table and still maintain a silent, scholarly atmosphere.
Nobody knows who started the first sorority study table.
What a blow it would be to the good woman if she could see the study table of today—an ordinary dining room table surrounded by a harried-looking upperclassman and irreverent pledges, who seem to have forgotten the purpose of study table is to aid in acquiring knowledge. Or possibly the inventor of the freshman's bugaboo would find delight at first glance, in visiting our own library. There sit the pledges of each sorority, at different tables, talking and giggling so loudly that one need fear of dosing off.
The casual observer might glance at a study table and think its charges a model of concentration—unless he knew that most of those upright notebooks concealed the latest Reader's Digest or Good Housekeeping — or unless he knew that most of those bursly skipping pencils are telling what a perfect date Roland is except that he talks about it. But, no, he knows he knew that those lowered heads are bound, not in contemplation of the symptoms of paranoia, but in sweet dreamless sleep.
The sorority study table may not lead to more A's, but no one can deny it binds the pledge class into a more closely knit unit.

Campus Opinion

When I first came to the University I heard that it had perhaps the most complete school library in this part of the country, but I have found that the hearsey is wrong. It is more correct to say that our library is one with the greatest number of books listed in the card files that have mysteriously disappeared from the stocks. I tried to get back into the process and found some cards in the process of doing some research work a few weeks ago, and each wore—well, "just couldn't be found."
Editor Daily Kansan:
Now I don't know what happened to these books. They couldn't very well have been taken by students who study in the library; none of them have access to the stacks. Perhaps some of the professor's have forgotten to sign out books and kept them abandoned at home. But that will hardly account for the majority of the missing books.
Who is supposed to keep track of library books and see that they are put away correctly when they are returned? The libraries and their assistants, of course. I'm not accustomed to seeing them in action, but they are either a lot of curiosity or something else on the list at least some of the members of the library staff. The state and the students certainly have some right to know what is happening to a number of books put into the library. They are helping filling assignments. Library staff, where are they?
R. G. Hughes.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I enclose herewith a poem that I think applies to the existing problem of peace. If you deem it worthy, would appreciate its publication in the Campus Opinion edition's April 8th edition of the Kansan. Peace, be more precious to me than the feeling of heroic pride; ring louder in my ears. Than sounds of bugles, and possess me like my pride. More pleasing than wealth, more desired Than Life. And more sacred than the thrill of Happy love.

New Fact Finding Council in State Legislature Headed by Dr. Fred Guild
By Don Johnson
Efficiency in state legislatures is one of the things that is as unheard of this country as polar bears in the tropics. John Q. Public idea of the Legislature. In 2014, it was the biggest convention of the year for the petty politicians of the state. And in most cases, he is not far wrong. However, in the last few years there has been a decided movement toward efficiency in the legislative process, and the efficiency exceedingly slow, and to those who have not followed developments closely, it might seem that no forward movement whatsoever had been made. Nevertheless, this very thing has been on point that may say "our meaning the state of Kansas
Citizens of the state, which derives its notoriety from dust storms and dry laws, may well be proud of the fact that nature is one of the very few such bodies to attempt an experiment that has been advocated for some time only by students of the question, whom voters often ask "just be another college professor."
Is First of Its Kind
This experiment is the first of its kind and is in the form of a legislative council. This council was set up three years ago and is an attempt to provide a more procedure for the planning and perfection of legislative bodies by the legislators themselves. This committee of the legislature, or council, as it is called, is sometimes known as the "little legislature." It is really a general interim committee主任 to invest and study any important issues of policy or questions of state-wide interest.
This council is composed of representatives of each house chosen in regard to both political and geographical representation. There are 27 members in all 15 from the house of representatives and 6 from the house with the presiding officers as ex-officio members are held quarterly between sessions, with the main purpose of developing a program for the regular session. The first meeting was held on May 1, 1933, and 10 meetings have been held in three years. The work of this 1633 Council resulted in the passage of 60 percent of the bills proposed by the council.
Up until the time of this council, the legislature was forced to depend upon any source that happened to be available for the collection of any preliminary data. The primary purpose of this auxiliary body is to assimilate and sift the facts, at the same time to weed out impossible solutions that formerly would have been given every consideration on the floor during the regular session.
Large Staff Is On Duty
Since August, 1934, the council has been equipped with a research staff as a fact finding department. The director of this department is Dr. Fred H. Guild, a political Science professor on leave from the University of Kansas since 1932. This department in itself is one of the greatest innovations in state government in the present century. There is a document that has as its duty the preparation of the agenda for the issues being considered by the legislative council at the time. Of course an enormous file of information on hundreds of subjects has been formed with

Janitor Makes Count of Many Museum Visitors
Only a small number of the visitors sign their names in the registration book in the basement of the building, and it is not a rare sarcasy. As there is no accurate mechanical turntable such as large museums use, Mr. Walter Branson serves as official checker - he stops his dusting and cleans the drawers. When an employee has entered to view the exhibitions and then adds up all the marks at the end of the month. He is not employed to do this extra work, but perusal will usually only be required he enjoys doing it.
Of course, Mr. Branson misses many visitors for he may be in another part of the building. However, he can usually visit a door with his paper and pencil ready to another visitor. And he is extremely conscientious about the matter, for he never counts persons whom he knows come to see Miss Moodie, curator, or faculty members of the School of Fine Arts or reporters from the Kansan.

serve, on very short notice, the demands of all representatives to the state legislative bodies. As well as being used by the legislators themselves the findings of the legislative body may be associated between council meetings. This legislative council idea presents the solution to one of the chief problems of modern representative government; the economic imposition which has been evident for so long when the so-called expert has been called into consultation in legislative inquiries. The benefits which might possibly be achieved from this improvement are unlimited. The rule of the idea has thus very definitely brought it out of the cocon ceon stage. It is meeting with wider recognition all the time and has been favorably reported by other states to investigate it.
The state of Kansas may well be proud that it has pointed the way to the first major, fundamental improvement in the legislative process in many years.

A Corner On Books
By Wilma E. Socken, c 37
"Rage In Heaven," by James Hilton.
"Rage in Heaven," published several years ago in England, has become of interest over here since the publication of Hilfron's latest books. It has not been widely read, but the story, "Good-Bye, Mr. Chippeau," (1954), or the original extreme of his fantastic novel, "Lost Horizon," (1923). The plot is a simple treatment of a
"Heaven bath no Rage
With meditative tattoos beautiful, temperamental, Humphrey miss. Stella, is carried away, educated, and civilized by her future husband Philip Monell, a Cambridge graduate. Lacking in self-encourage and courage, he fails in the every attempt he makes politically. He falls victim to Stella's love for Phillip turns to pity, scorn, hate, and then fear. Their mutual friend, a successful Dr. Ward, tries to help them to readjust themselves, but succeeds only in loving Stella (and thus being his loss, becomes insecuri in his jealousy). He puts his suicide so adroitly that he is thought to have been murdered by his rival, the doctor. The doctor is saved at the last moment by the doctor, thinking the doctor would have been hanged before its return, had sent before his death to be bound and returned to Stella. Only in the last half Helen effectively psycho-analyze Stella. In all this novel is far inferior to the merits of the two 'tter books of Hinton.
"Sparkenbroke," by Charles Morgan (New York: Macmillan Co.)
Morgan's previous novel, "The Fountain", of 1932, so long popular, was regarded as the greatest then and his greatest possible work. Such a bauty assertion has to be revised since "Sparkenbruk" has appeared.
Love, Art, and Death, the three most baffling failures, make up the subject matter of the biography of this seventh viscus, and twelfth baron of the lineage of Sparkenbrokke. The renom of Piers Tenniel, Lord Sparkenbrokke, rested almost as much upon his treatment of women as upon his novels and poetry; however, the action of this novel is confined to one of his Italian interludes and his recurrent appearances to the ancestral estate where he seeks a necessary sanctuary with his son and his gracious, wean wife whom he admires, pities, but cannot love. From an incident of his life and through the family of the school, he tutored him, Lord Sparkenbrokke is hostile to him. He lived to tell stories and to stories. His imagination was at last made triumphantly transparent by his love for
the beautiful, fawn-like Mary, wife of his life-long friend, the son of the vicar. After the completion of his greatest work, Sparkenbroke plans to give up
his family, wealth, and social prestige in order to elope with Mary. The escape is prevented by the sudden death of Sparkenbroke. To write an appreciative account of his life, he cult because so much of the material is subjected to the innermost thoughts of the spiritual lives of Lard Sparkenbroke and Mary. Morgan is extreme, he is profound in his subjective portrait of this genius and poet who lived every moment with the all intensity of his being. When this is best the novel of the year.
Device Shows
Effect of Drink
On Human Eye
Buffalo, N. Y.-(UP)-A new device built in the laboratories of the University of Buffalo shows that a magnetic field ev moves Dr. Carlaton F. Schusteriae professor of psychology and director of the laboratory, built the apparatus of pieces of lumber and electric wires. It is the only instrument of its kind.
The device shows definitely that the mildest dose of alcohol tends to show up the eye movements, but that coffee, on the other hand, has no effect at all.
The device looks like an apparatus for torture such as was used in the middle ages. The subject sits in a chair and head movements are eliminated by clamps and by having the subject grasp a wooden bar between the teeth. The room is darkened and there are seven thick black bars attached to the machine, so that no one can see only the bars are visible. The moves, movements of the subject's eyes are recorded on a revolving sheet of paper by a special camera.
Former Instructor Dies of Scarlet Fever
Dr. Frederich Sauer, 23, formerly instructor in the department of anatomy in the University, died recently in Wichita, where he was associate professor in zoology at the University of Wichita.
Dr. Sauer received his Ph.D. degree from the department of anatomy here two years ago. He read several papers before the American Association of Anatomy. His paper which dealt with the system was declared an excellent piece of work. Dr. Sauer worked on the development of the nervous system.
According to Dr. H. C. Tracy, professor of anatomy, Dr. Sauer had unusual ability as an investigator and was an excellent teacher.
