Let's Swing It
Soft lights and sweet music played by a nationally known band should combine tomorrow evening to make the Senior Cakewalk one of the most memorable events of the school year. Maurie Sherman is to be guest artist to provide the dance arrangements. We are indeed lucky to have such a talent. He has been playing for social affairs in the East, where comes highly recommended to the middle-west.
Long-awaited by socially-minded students and enthusiastic dancers, the coming of the Cakewalk starts off the spring social season which will go on with increasing speed until commencement.
In many ways the dance has gathered some air of romance and beauty through its years as the traditional dance of each senior class, though the attendance has always been rather low. As a matter of fact, they care more underclassmen who attend than seniors. This is a rather lamentable fact, for it is a senior celebration. In times gone by only seniors were permitted to attend, but the last few years it has become an all university party. It is a last big party to honor the seniors; the music will be the "tops," so why not lend your support to help make the Senior Cakewalt a huge success. As from the side that a good band will play and it is leap year, enjoyment of the evening's activities will result from doing what you really want to do. If you can say early Saturday morning, as you pull the blankets over aching feet and tired legs, "Gee, I had a good time," that all that really matters.
The Alma Mater!
It's not what happened but what didn't happen! Everyone chimed in on the first stanza of the Alma Mater at the close of convocation last week. But what happened on the second stanza? Only a few brave and more intelligent students here and there throughout the audience indicated they knew the words. If the University were a person, it certainly would have been embarrassed and ashamed; and the University would have disowned 95 per cent of its student body.
For that 95 per cent of the student body, here are the words of the "Crimson and Blue":
Far above the golden valley,
Glorious to view
Stands our noble Alma Mater,
Towering toward the blue,
Chorus
Lift the chorus ever onward,
Crimson and the blue
Hail to thee our Alma Mater,
Hail to K. S. U.
Far above the distant humming
Of the busy town,
Reared against the dome of heaven,
Looks she proudly down.
Greet we then our foster mother,
Noble friend so true.
We will ever sing her praises,
Dear old K. S. U.
A real JAYHAWKER would at least know the Alma Mater!
More Benches Needed
We made a plea for benches on the campus, and it snowed. However, sunshine, tennis, white shoes, and restlessness are sure signs of spring, and there are yet no benches to be seen. All over the country-side at this season people are seeking the out-of-doors. But here at University the class of 1922 and the Phi Beta Phi alumnae have provided the only two real seats on the campus. Some of the architects probably had the poor students in mind when the designed elaborate building entrances suitable for sitting purposes. But, after all, entrances were made to be decorative without the presence of Joe and Josephine College.
In commenting on our cry for seats, the Topeka Daily Capital doubted the sincerity of our desire to get beneficial effects of sunshine. However, it was stated that the young men on the board of regents would probably see that we got benches. Regardless of the reasons advanced, this is mighty pretty weather for one to be indoors.
Campus Opinion
Artists in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editors or authors and may not be aligned with the views expressed by the editors. Contributions are welcome.
I would like to point out just one or two points in which our esteemed Mr. Born has chosen to admit petition remarks. The Dove's editorial board seems to have ignored the argument that he greatly the sound constructive policies Landon advocates.
Editor Daily Kansan:
In the most recent issue of the Dove one of the campus' greatest minds takes it upon himself to offer his wordy opinion on the chances and qualifications of Kawasaki's presidential hope, Governor All M. Landon. Notwithstanding the fact that this person, according to himself, is probably one of the best qualified to perform such a task, he intends, in the context, Mr. Heath's capitalistic support and prejudice in the matter influence his contempt of those chances.
In forging a few persons the Governor will help a great mind by setting a very uncertain financial structure

And another thing my friend, don't discount Mc Landon's organization. There aren't many, other than the veneal types, that are very much stronger. But perhaps they are also more resistant to how human nature and desire to be on the winning side.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The election is over. Students can now return to their normal routine without being subjected to political hokum (such as the "Gap Year").
As an aforementioned a student election, when time has been able to exert its temperamental influence, let us look at the declarable speeche of college politics. Two parties that have had a reputation for being more than the parties candidates themselves, to show where they differ. Maybe it was a case of Pachacamal stooling P.S.GL political thruster, or maybe the party is not as well represented as the party was presented with the dilemma of trying to cast an intelligent vote, for candidates running on platforms that were one and the same. It was almost as baffling as to distinguish between our two national political parties.
In a recent interview with a noted political philosopher and commentator, he was overheard to have said, "the trouble with politics in this country lies in the fertile fields of college politics where they are grown and nurtured. Instead of working for improvement in politics, the college youth resort to the machine type of politics which is often frequently on grading the student is well-grounded and ready to take his place in the larger political group."
This is quite an indictment for our generation. Policies should be studied in the same light that other social phenomenon of society is inspected and with the end in view of doing something about it. How we do we expect to bear the burden of national politics to change for better if here were no longer the same type of viciousness that is resorted to elsewhere?

Editor Daily Kansan:
Members of our university tennis squad are going to Tepeka, whenever it is in all possible, to play tennis. Many individuals who signed for intramural tennis this spring have had a similar injury in fault both in cases lies in the deficiency of the University tennis courts, including the two varsity courts. The entire group is unmarked, and appear to have had no care
When the tennis season first began, many tennis enthusiasts came to the courts. Each day though, the number is decreasing, and many of the would-be players have trouble keeping up with the intensity that anxiety has caused every one have an outdoor sport in which it seems a shame that it can not do its part in promoting this game. The varsity squad needs practice before entering the matches already scheduled, to say nothing of the match scheduling required by the University plays host to the teams of other universities.

--order to be recognized by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers." He pulled more papers from his files and proceeded to explain how the courses had been altered, several hours of this substituted for several hours of the requirements of the American Institute. After scanning over the courses, I was of the opinion that a student would think twice before he elected himself to the job of a chemical engineer. To which Marshall agreed, and then added that it might be of interest to know that only 18 university faculty were recognized by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.

New Chemical Engineering Laboratory Offers Practical Experience to Students
In front of the Chemistry building, I paused to adjust my fingers to my nose, clothespin fashion, and then proceeded through the revolving door into the thick of it, at the same time repetting to myself that it was a terrible price to pay for an interview about some darn chemical engineering laboratory. However, down the steps to the basement, I relinquished my hold for an apprehensive sniff and discover that I was beneath the malodorous level.
By William Baird
Out of a side room whisked a student whose hands and face were smeared with grease and oil, and when I asked him the whereabouts of this laboratory he gave his hb proud a thumb. From that place from which he had just come
Vats and Pipes Fill Room Peeking in, I saw what appeared to be a cross between a distillery and Frost. We worked up the floor, cylindrical and cultural, squigged on the floor, while great lines of pipe ran with mathematical precision overhead. Over at the far end of the room, you could see the work benches cluttered with blueprints, hammers and pipe wrenches on the floor, a student drilling diligently through a sheet of metal — all have the same basic practical importance was taking place.
Winding through this maze of apparel, I came upon Prof. T. H. Marshall of the chemical engineering department of Cornell University with shirt sleeves rolled, was assisting some students in threading a pipe. Seeing me, and having already known the purpose of my mission, he turned the pipe to the floor, and then conducted me to his office.
**Students Given Experience**
"I can't as large as I had expected." I continue, describing the size of the laboratory were around 40 by 16 by 20, much smaller than the evil-smell rooms upstairs. "but what you raw is only the beginning."
And then he went on to give a history of its evolution. This semester the department offered to senior chemical engineers a course in chemical design, the purpose of which was to provide students with practical experience. Students were picked out a certain type of apparatus which he chose to construct.
Marshall pulled out a bunch of papers from a file.
"Now, here are some of the plains drawn by the students themselves after projects. And here is some of the data collected to tell what type of material should be used, where it could be obtained, and the cost, although the latter, of course.
**Construction Began in October**
Construction of the laboratory was started October 1. The only place available for lab work was a lab, was overheated and the pipes fitted overhead. The floor was torn up and replaced with reinforced concrete to the weight of the 600-gallon tanks, which were hardened and the ward force of some two and a half tons.
"You probably noticed," said Dr. Marshall, "that the apparatus seemed set around in a bell-shaped fashion, but it came first and then adjusted the tanks accordingly. Also, the surface of the floor was purply made rough to injure against accidents caused by stucco plinking on a splice of greater or oil."
Installation of the apparatus has been done by the senior chemical engineers, while some of the painting and miscellaneous work has been handled by the CSEP students. Students from these projects, such as the electric furnaces, are being constructed by individuals, while the larger ones require group labor. The experiments were prepared before the end of the spring semester, each apparatus will be tested by its builder and then alterations necessary, after which they will be furnished to the crop of junior engineers next fall.
"Well," he replied, "as I said before this is only the beginning. We hope to expand—to have more room available to incoming students can construct their own labs and then tufted, "there's more behind this movement than the mere building of the laboratory. For example, we've changed our curriculum this year."
How to Expand
"It's too bad," I observed, "that the following groups won't gain the building experience."
"Not only do we want the approving stamp of this institute," he continued, "but we want to make the state of Kansas chemical engineering conducive to this work." We have great resources of oil, gas, limestone and so on, which need to be developed. By giving our students practical experience, we can equip them to exploit these resources, which in turn will enable jobs for more chemical engineers."
Question: What do you think of the Dove?
The Roving Reporter Conducted by Steven David. c.177
Bettie Hayne, c.38, "The 'intellectual' may think that the Dove is something to rave about, since they write it, but the Hulk doesn't know what he thinks on the Hill it thought it decided poor."
Alfred Chalmers, c. 377. "I like the Davenport's radical stand on most of the campsite problems and wish that it could have been better documented in accord with the principles behind it, even though I cannot agree with some of its specific chargs made in the last issue."
Elmer Humphrey, c. 137: "The Dove is below the standards of the University and is something which could well be wiped out on the hill. It should be wiped out."
A. B. Allerton, gr: "I am in favor of the policy of the Dove. If it is subversive, let's make the most of it."
Albie Pleckin, c29: "I thought the Dove was fair, with some good points and some bad ones. The authors, it seems to me, would go to any end to find something to rave about, and that isn't for the best."
Kathryn Cassidy, e36: "I think it's funny. It's better than the Sour Owl for laughs?"
Don Henry, c38: "Mighty fine. It was an honest expression of conditions and circumstances which no other campus organization would expose."
SIDE GLANCES Of Peace Mobilization
After the now-famous four-bomb had seen set and was proceeding to enlist its obsolete gas, John Piercey, in true military fashion, volunteered to attack this enemy by attempting to kick it off the lbf of battle. John failed to keep his on the hull, and in the process of absorbing the bomb, two off his box. The result being that the ship allied farther away than did the pionon all.
A touch of the dramatic:
the thither side of middle-age was standing whispering to her virtue the virtue of the speeches when the students began to run in escape from the fumes of the bomb. With her eyes red and filled with tears, she stood still, shaking her head, then running away, the foils, the foils, if they had ever "calm war," they could hear this."
