Comment
It's Up to You. Vets
For the past two weeks, the campus has been informed bit by bit of the development of a nebulous organization to be known as the Deathwatch Post of the Veterans of Future Wars but yesterday when the organizers took their first aggressive and concrete action toward enlisting student members unforeseen difficulties jolted their enthusiasm considerably.
An unauthorized recruiting station in the Administration building was given its walking orders less than two hours after it was set up. Moreover, the boys were warned by the Administration that due to the alleged commercial nature of their membership drive, their recruiting activism led to a ban on to cease unless permission to operate in the Membrane is secured from the Union operating committees.
So, Vets, it's your move. If you are sincere in your satirical efforts to make the world safe for hypocrisy, you won't allow these minor setbacks to discourage future activities. Other chapters of your organization have had their tribulations too, but most of them continue to thrive and gain popularity as well as opposition.
You have much potential support on the campus. Your backers will materialize when you prove to them that you have a program that they care to support and participate in. With initiative and originality, you can go a long way, so get to it.
We didn't have such a cold winter. In "76 in Wyoming it froze the electricity in the telephone wires, and when it thawed out all the huge instruments were talking as hard as they could for five hours." The Crimson White.
Growing Use of Newspaper
Howard Vincent O'Brien recently made the following statement, "The best text book of the new education will be the newspaper, and the ability to read a newspaper critically, selectively, and analytically will be the mark of an educated man."
Universities realizing the value of the newspaper as a means of education on current history, have recently originated new courses, in which the daily newspaper is the text. Many professors have introduced the study of the newspaper in their courses, using it to supplement the regular subject. All this has been done to aid students in understanding current history.
In the past generation the importance of the newspaper was not so keenly felt not stressed, and today individuals of that generation are attempting to study and understand the daily news. It is essential in business today to keep abreast with modern conditions.
But what about the present generation of University students? Are we learning to read selectively and critically the daily newspaper or are we skimming over the murder heads and turning back to the comic strips? Just as we need a background for these serial cartoons, in order to understand them, so do we need a background for the news, in order to dissect it.
Knowledge of present days circumstances is not enough; the well-educated man must know the history to understand the contemporary actions. History is in the making and the newspaper is the daily presentation of it.
Twenty per cent of the population of the United States use eye glasses.
Democratic Rebel
Colonel Henry Breckinridge, a courtly New Yorker whose chief claims to fame lie in the fact that he is Charles A. Lindbergh's attorney and was assistant secretary of war under Woodrow Wilson, has joined the ranks of the Democratate rebels. Along with Alfred E. Smith and Governor Eugene Talmadge he has dared to defy Franklin D. Roosevelt for the Democratic nomination.
Flying to Pennsylvania, he entered his name in that state's primary, as he had already done in Ohio and Maryland. No one, however, expected him to duplicate his father's cousin, John C. Breckinridge, who disastrously split his party by running for President on a pro-slavery ticket in 1860.
International Ouibble
After the London naval treaty of 1936 was signed this week by France, Great Britain, and the United States, the delegates returned home as if they had done something, leaving the rest of the world to determine just what.
As an index to Henry Creckniridge's strength, New Deal advocates point to his 1934 record. Campaigning for United States Senator from New York on n "Constitutional Party" ticket, he placed fifth, 21,000 votes behind the Communist candidate.
The limitation on ship tonnages and gun sizes is important because it will give American taxpayers more for their money's worth under the Vinson bill. When a floating target attains a certain weight the navy must stop building and begin
on a new one. Since there is no limitation on the number of ships, probably the powers may all feel called upon to build many boats with which to protect their freedom of the seas.
Exchanging notes in which they tried to outdo one another in expressions of amity, Great Britain and the United States declared their intent to keep the world's greatest navies at parity. It is only a gentleman's agreement, however, and one never knows when a country will decide to disregard the best in Emily Post. Meanwhile, Italy objected to the France-British naval mutual assistance pact in the Mediterranean and did not sign. Japan quit the deliberations early with demands for equality, to save her face, but if a building race develops her weak resources should teach her the value of appearances, Germany, uninvited to London, in a separate treaty with England declared that she would keep her navy at thirty-five per cent the size of the British fleet
The three signatories have decided to exchange data on their building programs. In theory, each country will know where the others stand, but then nations are full of deceit that way. The safest prophecy is that wool-pulling will be tried; each country striving to be absolutely frank about as little as possible. The English are given an edge in these matters, but it is difficult to pull the wool over a dreadnought.
Just to give you an idea of what is being done elsewhere, Dr. Allen, Pasadena's Rose Bowl has constructed a lockup where intoxicated or other unruly patrons of athletic events will be given a chance to meditate on their actions.
To Quit or Not to Quit
As regular as the entrance of spring each year at about this time, comes the desire on the part of many students to quit school. Warm days, coupled with balmy evenings, present no incentive for study and the lax student interprets his inertia as a yearning for real work rather than academic activity.
The only way to combat this urge to drop out and engage in work more remunerative financially is to use a little foresight. Much as it pains us to say it, few jobs are open, and those that are open require trained men and women. Possibly one might be host at a filling station if he quits now, but such a job might lead to wiping windshields and filling tires for the rest of his life. The man with the college education will at least work up to filling radiators.
So, all that can be said is: Look to the future,
enjoy the nightlight nights less frequently now
and leisure will come to bask in them more
frequently some years hence.—The Creightonian.

While the political parties are raving over the use of money given to the Student Council, I have a suggestion to make, which I am sure, other men students of the University will back up.
Editor Daily Kansan:
All students I talked with who had seen "Carenon," felt that it was a most-worthwhile and beautiful sight. But it is expensive to bring so excellent a cast, or any other matter, to Lawrence. And money was lost this time.
But the main point is: Let us have opera every year, I cannot be accused of political adult-digory, for a will that has been in existence for 100 years.
Could not some arrangement be made, whereby the two student Councils could donate a set sum to the Concert Administration to assure the presentation of an opera once a year? Such donation might be contingent on an agreement that the price of seats be lowered some-what. I have heard few complaints about that time she said that she would be able to attend if there were, say, fifty-cents seats in the first ballroom, and dollar seats on the main floor.

Revival of Interest in Intramurals Traced to Loyal Efforts of 'Ed' Elbel
The full representation that every organized house on the HII enjoy in intramural sports is due, largely, to an assistant professor in the department of physical education who is also a radio announcer.
When he came to the University in 1928 Professor Eibel, or Ed, as he is commonly known, found the interest in intramurals at a low ebb. He took charge and undertook to revive the falling interest in this important part of our University life. The present spirit of sportmanship that prevails at intralure contexts indicates the capability to travel far and wide in the capital last year and the frolic this year were both products of the resourceless of Mr. Eibel.
Mail Has Come From Canada
After his graduation from Springfield
Mass, Ed became director of physical
education at the Y.M.C.A in Tulsa, Oka-
don, and served in that capacity for
two years. He was a professor in the department of
physical education at Ottawa University.
When he left Ottawa he had under
his arm a Bachelor of Science degree.
A Master of Physical Education degree
result of a year or two of high
work at his old school, Springfield
college.
The athletic interviews that Ed Conducts on station KFKU are the most popular to go on the air over that station. He has received comments from listeners as far away as Canada and his mail from the Big Six states resembles
Two Auditions Determined Career of Mary R. Barrons
Two successful musical auditions were perhaps the most important events in determining the musician of Mary Rose Barron, who made an ap- plication to Friday night at a soloist with the Kokulei City Phalliumharmonica in Kansas City.
The first audition occurred in the early months of 1925, before Madame Ernestine Schumann - Heink, when Madame Schumann-Heink was giving auditions for the first master class at Kansas City that summer. Miss Schumann taught a school teacher in Independence, Mo., tried out for membership in that class, and as the result of Schumann-Heink's verdict that she was waiting her time teaching school when she would be making a name for herself in the country. Madame Barrons studied under the famous singer that summer in Kansas City.
Schumm-Heink has so inter-
tuced in her and in her future that she used her influence to send Miss Bar-
ley a letter she studied for a number of years.
The second audition was the result of a chance request on a dining ear in Germany to "please pass the salt and pepper?" She was given a card that in the end proved to be a passport to a hearing with Egon Pollack, German operatic conductor. This late successful interview ended with Miss Barbacena's three year contract with the Chicago Opera company. Miss Barbacena received her A. B. degree from the University in 1924. While a student at the University, she was a member of the University Women's Glee Club.
Note: Beginning September, 1936, the offenses course concludes in this course, but the evening course changes to a 4-vehicle course.

Draws Cartoons In Space Time
Ed. Elbert's fona have a hard time trying to decide what part of his work they like best. He does a lot of things besides his regular teaching job. When he can play basketball, he goes to the University's intramural, and his broadcasting, he draws cartoons for the sports pages of the Kansas and other papers in this part of the country.
During football season one of his cartoons appears in the Kansas about once a month. He then hints to football players, however, but draws basketball players, wrestlers, and track men as well.

Schedule Must Not Limit
After arranging schedules for each of the intramural sports, Ed must see that he can play basketball, handball, fencing, tennis, baseball, swimming, wrestling, or foot-ball–conflict. The schedule must be made out so that every man can enter every sport if he so desires and never be forced to worry about missing a contest because he thinks another more important.

Chic Dates Win
Over Pretty Ones
Says Joe College
Coeds that are smart looking rather than pretty are preferred as dates by the average collegian at the majority of colleges. A Coed was made by interested statisticians.
Vinylity and neatness are additional requirements according to the men who distilled stocking seams, untidy nails and stringy hair. They list red finger-nail polish as one of the most popular. (The vote on this last was 100%).
Short skirts for daytime wear and long, silky formals for evening wear are what the collegians like to see. Overdressed women who wear eccentric hats embark the college man. Coeds who wear simple clothes clothes win a prize. The men expect the women to be intelligent to a certain degree—that is, a trifle less smart than themselves so that the conversation will be interesting. The elinging vine type of young lady went out with the button shoes and is indeed not in the popular date. In case this advice from the men is followed, coeds are assured of no criminal liability, and plenty of dates—according to the rules.
