Comment To Mobilize Or Not To Mobilize
For one hour beginning at 10:30 a.m. on April 22 many Kansas University students will conduce a peace demonstration after the manner of a "mobilization." Classes will, by administrative order, be maintained throughout that hour and any students who participate will be discredited academically to the extent of one unexcused absence.
There is no issue among the great majority of people over the value of any gesture toward peace. But an issue has been raised, locally at least, over the wisdom of conducting the mobilization at an hour when most students have classes.
Pro 10:30 Mobilization
1. The hour, 1 a.m., was set, not arbitrarily, by the organizers of the international student strike for peace (known here as the mobilization) and is the hour when most students are on the campus.
The reasons why the mobilization will be called at 10:30 and the objections thereto have been sum marized as follows:
2. At 11 a.m., April 22, approximately 500,000 students in the United States, Europe, South America and Puerto Rico intend to participate in the strike.
4. The mobilization will attract immediate attention and more significance will be attached to the demonstration if it is conducted at that hour.
3. 10:30 is the hour chosen for the mobilization here because it will not overlap two class periods but yet will allow for a simultaneous participation with other schools.
5. It deliberately sets the duty of demonstration above all work-a-day affairs and therefore serves to ruler an automatic pledge that participates in the maintenance of peace the most important issue.
6. It is in its very form a dress rehearsal of what students will do when war comes.
Solution for Crime
An elixer of life, less marvelous perhaps than Ponce de Leon's magic focean, but which promises to be more certain of materialization than the early conquistador's long-sought-for spring, was promised by two doctors at the meeting of the American Chemical Society in Kansas City, yesterday.
Dealing with gland secretions in the human body, the scientists pointed out that criminals, idiots, and other abnormal individuals were usually results of deficient gland action. Studies of glands have brought forth the definite idea that such persons may be cured by injection of certain chemicals which make up for the natural deficiency. Criminal tendencies would be recognized as the result of the chemistry of the body, and instead of placing criminals in jails, they would be treated in hospitals.
If these doctors can perfect their theory, certainly a great step will be taken in the understanding and treatment of criminals. Present day punishment is admittey inefficient. It sounds more reasonable that curing a criminal or idiot could be better reached by getting at the real cause of the trouble, and checking it, than committing the individual to a penitentiary or asylum. The latter method is punitive, the former corrective, which after all is supposed to be the aim of criminal punishment.
The investigation committee at Washington is spending the last of its $750,000 and has already discovered that the American Telephone & Telegraph Company is a big business.
Rather ideally, the doctors look for a day when there will be no penitentiaries. While this situation seems hard to believe, it appears that the use of penitentiaries may be limited and society might gain a number of useful citizens who would otherwise be detrimental, if the gland treatment theory is realized.

Long Live the NYA
Of the millions of dollars of government funds that have gone toward helping needy citizens of the United States through the depression years, no expenditures have been of more ultimate value to the country than those apportioned to the National Youth Administration. During the current school year more than half a million deserving youths have been able to remain in high schools and colleges throughout the country only by the cash benefits they have received from the NYA.
However, unless the Roosevelt Administration takes steps to continue it, this worthy part of the New Deal relief program will pass out of existence on May 31. The pioneering efforts of Chancellor Lindley to have this program approved two years ago were largely responsible for its establishment, but the continuance of the projects depend upon the sentiment expressed in their favor.
This University and all of the other Kansas colleges that are benefited by the NYA should be among the first to go to bat for its maintenance by going on record as favoring the same. Since less than 5 per cent of the total funds allotted NYA are spent in administering its program, it deserves being continued at the expense of other relief measures that involve a high cost of operation. We hope that the New Dealers will find it possible to avoid lapping off the National Youth Administration among their election year economies.
Con 10;30 Mobilization
1. There is no objection to the purposes of the mobilization but University time cannot be allotted for it.
2. Any hour which does not conflict with class schedules would be satisfactory.
3. The M.S.C. was given the choice of allocating the one remaining open hour on the University schedule either to the peace movement or for the presentation of political party candidates. It chose the latter. The University can grant no more time.
4. Any advantage of such a simultaneous strike is not great enough to warrant the usurpation of one hour class time because the emotional appeal does not have a permanent effect.
5. If students are interested enough in the mobilization there is no reason why they cannot conduct it at a more reasonable hour.
6. The antagonism a mobilization construct during class time would obviate any beneficial effects which might accrue from such a mobilization.
Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
A determination on the part of 32 campus organizations to support the Peace Mobilization cannot but indicate that the question of War or Peace is vital and uppermost in the minds of University of Kansas students. The reaction on the part of students against the imminent danger of war has outgrown passionate orations and harsh hymns, and is now taking the form of active protests against war by student mobilizations for peace.
Yet one anachronism rears its unly head. The usual champion of liberality and free speech, the campus newspaper, here on Mount Oread refuses to assume its more journalistic destiny. For a month plans have been laid for the K.U. Peace Mobilization, an executive committee that has succeeded in ensuring that sometimes have been held with delegates from over 90 countries in attendance, delicate questions of policy and deep-seated differences have been smoothed, the Peace-Action committee has arranged another of its always-popular forums, a panel of excellent speakers has been arranged for the mobilization,委员会 covering public-policy, policy, etc., have been appointed and are fuctioning events; yet the Kanian remains silent, allowing political clap-trap to bring brief stories on the third page.
As a movement supported by over 50 of the most patient student organizations at Kansas University and concerned with one of the most vital issues of our modern society, we have been a founding member of the University Daily Kansan adequate publicity.

Editor Daily Kansan:
A few days ago the Commander-in-chief of the allied forces of the Veterans of Future Wars presented a disbanded opinion concerning the removal of the "Vets" from the military. The U.S. government ministration building by Chancellor Lindley and his pips.
A recent visitor to the campus from Princeton University reports that at the National Headquarters of the military, the students are off the campus. They have no home base on the campus at all. The Kannas "Vets" are most fortunate in having their base on campus.
All organizations which sell anything on the campus must be recognized by the Administration. This fact was emphasized in the spring 2013 edition of the battle caps' awards. Regardless of the spirit of this new organization, there are no favorite or extra-vriba brands available.
The idea of the V.F.W. is a fine one, but all organizations have to recognize their limitations as well as there are.
Notices due at Chancellor's Office at 10 a.m. p.m. preceding regular
public days and 11:19 a.m. saturday for Sunday innings.

Kansas Relays Originated 14 Years Ago From Suggestion of Dr. Outland
Almost 60,000 persons have flocked to the University and Memorial stadium during the month of April in the past 12 years, all because a physician named Outland thought it would be a great idea if Kumara conducted a sectional

VOFW Rejoices As March of Time Lends a Hand
The Veterans of Future Wars are rebuilding. They have gained respectability and credibility, including the movie new reel, has included the vets and their activities in its latest film.
The episode shows the start of the Veterans of Future Wars and the sensation it caused at Princeton. Soon fifth schools had organized and an official police force was set up, the national capital appeared a new kind of lobbyist to handle political politicians. As veterans and bonus advocates the police force also idea behind the national treasury is evident. The proffes of future wars and other similar groups are organized.
Today, however, the undergraduate pranks have begun to take on a deeper significance. As the Veterans of Future Wars incorporate in New Jersey and become a new national youth movement, the film points out that the pranks are capable of killing, through ridicule, much we would miss that measures the name of the war.
It is the first time that the Maren of Time has devoted an episode to the activities of the undergraduate.
At the present time the veterans have more than 20,000 members in 144 posts over the country, Kansas claims three posts at Washburn, Kansas State and K. U., with a fourth organizing at Southwestern in Winfield.
The local Deathwatch Post of the Veterans of Future Wars which met defeat in its first battle at the University shortly before the Easter vacancy, unchained the fight. General Philip Ripken directed the report, stated last night.
"We aim to make every man and woman on the University campus a member of the Veterans and its aux-room. Mr. Remnick said "Recruiting operations are reviewed at once, within the limits set by the University administration."
track meet to be know; as the Kansas Relays.
Dr. John Outland came here in 1833, stayed two years, then went to the University of Pennsylvania to complete his studies. There he saw the inception of the idea for a school and modernly. He saw the possibilities such an event might have in building up the prestige of a school, and several years later he proposed the idea to Dr. Forrest C. Allen.
Stadium a Result of Relays
Many schools from all sections of the country have sent participants to the Riayas during the 14 years since their arrival. These students are records are broken and when conditions have been favorable as many as 10,000 marks have fallen in one day's compass.
It was partly because of Dr. Orlanda's idea that the new Memorial stadium was built. The University of Kansas is situated more conveniently for a track meet than any other school in the Midwest. The idea was enthusiastically re-created by the interim created caused impetus to put on the plans for a new stadium.
Finest Athletes Have Attended
A great array of some of the world's finest athletes have competed here at one time or another. Outstanding among them have gone George Saling of Iowa, Michael Porter of Pennsylvania, bruska, Jack Elder of Notre Dame, Jim Beauch, Cunningham Glen, and Clyde Coffman of Kansas, Fuqua and Herman Davis of Indiana, and Virginia of Pennsylvania.
The University has been fortunate in se selection of referees for the Relays sch year. Great sportmen such as Guitre Rodriguez, Avery Brundage, Alonzo Schulte, Sebastian Schulte, and Tum does have five positions of head referer a years past.

The University School of Law recently was highly praised by the N.A.A.L. Association of American Law School and the University Dean Hershel W. Arant, of the Ohio State College of Law, who represented the school as Executive Committee of the N.A.A.L.
An official report of Dean Arent's visit was received yesterday by William L. Burick, dean of the University School of Law. The report was complimentary regarding the growth of the law and the evidences of good administration.
"My check upon the application of the rules of the Association as to scholarship revealed that they are being scripturiously enforced at all points," wrote Dean Arant. He said further that he was impressed with the fine work of the student body. Daur Dickard received upon the fine results that his leadership is achieving in maintaining the high status which the School of Law holds with other law schools. Dean Arant's visit was one of the
