Comment
Come Now. Mr. White
We students up here at your alma mater, the state university, read your charges in the papers the other morning. Bill White, and we can't believe that you too have joined the elder generation's "View With Alarm" club. We know that we're "pretty poor stuff" to most of the oldsters, W. A., but we thought maybe you appreciated a few of our efforts to keep up with the changing times.
Since you were speaking before the alumni and faculty of the church-related colleges of Kansas, we can understand why you said nice things about their alumni and students, but we don't see why you had to turn around and "cuss us out" at the same time. Several decades ago, this university wasn't turning out such poor stuff, witness yourself and a number of other graduates the state is now proud of.
You know, Bill, it's less than a hundred miles up here from your town. Why don't you come up and see us sometime and get a little better acquainted with some of us go-going boys and come-hither girls. We go in for a lot of things that you didn't do in your youth, but our kids will probably be shocked to thirty years from now. So please don't go sour on us for a while yet. We're trying to get the right slant on things.
Earl Derr Bigger didn't know what he was starting. One of the latest movies is tagged "Charlie Chan at the Circus," and, although it hasn't been announced, we expect the next will be "Charlie Chan with the Mounties or He Gets His Man Too."
Floods do have their stimulating effects. Headline in New York World Telegram: "Binghamton Turn to Beer as Officials Order Restaurants not to Serve Water."
People do not idle enough, claims the Minnesota Daily, which urges bigger and better loafing for everyone. It would be a great thing. Especially do college students need time to idle, to think out things at their leisure. In that way does one learn.
Culture Through Idling
Mr. Newton was idling under a tree when an apple descended on his head. He discovered the law of gravity. Benjamin Franklin dily flew his kites. Master John Watt, in moments of leisurely loafing, wondered what raised the cover of the tea kettle. Great idlers, these.
A student isn't graduated, from a university with a factual knowledge of the world. Even if he were, that wouldn't be education. College properly teaches a student to mull over facts, think things out, weigh theories. That takes time—idling time. There is something out of balance in a college curriculum which causes a student to feel he is wasting time if he isn't doing something that is required.
A university, too, should teach one how to enjoy life. "Culture" is an overworked word. But it takes a virtuoso idler to loaf through symphony concerts, current books, Eisenstein dramas, and other "good eigens." A proper university curriculum should not only allow time for loafing. It should teach the idlers' art.
One student on the recent night of high, wide, and handsome dust recalled that the top of his roadster was torn down and remarked that he guessed he would be a "silt sitter" in the morning.
The intelligence of some movie fans! A woman was hoard to remark as she left a showing of the quintuple picture, "The Country Doctor." I wonder where they got five babies so much alike?"
If the income tax collector comes, can Spring be far behind?
On So-Called Big-Shots
Ninety-five per cent of the so-called "big shots" of the campus are students who did something really outstanding once, got a lot of publicity for it, and have hasked in the limelight of publicity.
It is a matter of common knowledge that many of the so-called campus leaders fail to lead after graduation because they are so complacent with what they have done in college that they fail to plan and prepare for the tough days that almost invariably follow the four-year vacation here.
It is about five per cent of the student leaders that may really be called leaders. They labor dutifully and try in every manner within their power to carry out the duties of the offices to which they have been elected by the student body or appointed by a college official. They are the ones who do not forget their studies; neither do they become obsessed with the ideas that they are potential social lions.
It is to these student leaders who really work on their jobs, who keep up their studies, and who act naturally and simply that we take off our hats. These are the students who may really be called leaders; these are the ones who are not only leaders today but also will be the leaders of the morrow —The Daily O'Collegian.
Rimmed to the Core
"May I show you actual samples of our made-to-measure hosiery?" asked the representative of a certain hosiery company who recently solicited the Hill sororities and rooming houses. The agent, accompanied by a student from the Hill, described a tailor-made service which seemed worthy of trial, and his introductory offer was amazing reasonable. Twenty-five pairs were ordered and paid for in one house. They were to be delivered within eight days.
Four long weeks passed before the package finally arrived, not prepaid, but with C. O. D. charges nearly three dollars in excess of the price originally paid. The women protested, but arrangements were finally made to pay this extra charge. When the package was opened, it contained only half the number of hose ordered.
These women, as well as the student who accompanied the agent, were rimmed to the core. The agent cannot be reached, and unsuspecting students bear the loss. Such individual losses may seem trivial, but they are felt not only by the students but by the firm whose reputation is being torn down through unethical practices.
Can nothing be done to prevent such misrepresentation and false dealing?
Many fear another war. That's slight compared to the fear of the munition manufacturer if there isn't another war.

Editor Daily Kansan:
It has been implied in the columns of the Kansas that the liberal element objects to Mr. Zwicker speaking on and about the campus concerning contemporary Germany. Thus, it would seem, calls for clarification. While the Liberal Club does not include all liberals on the campus, its membership wishes to make clear that for prescribing his foremost activity, it has invited Mr. Zwicker to attend them. He has declined. The Liberal Club is still cared to hear Mr. Zwicker, and especially to hear an amplification of his statements made before other groups.

Editor Daily Kansan:
Campus beauty should be an inspiration to every student, however, it seems to me, that many of them fail to appreciate this, and do things to mar the beauty of the campus.
One of the most common is that of cutting corners and wearing out the grass. Just why do students do this? If this question should be put up to any student, the answer would more than likely be, to save time. How much time does it save? Just a few seconds. What does that help? Yes! Just what does that help! Also in cutting corners, places where paths have been worn, are usually in the spring, at any time during the year. Especially so in the spring, when everything is bright and fresh, do students seem more apt to cut corners than any other time.
H. L.
Also, I think that campus politicians should refrain from passing out their many colored handbills. Each spring when the political campaigns get under full swing, never a day passes, but either of the two political parties spread a lot of political propaganda out in numerous handbills.
Undoubtedly thousands of dollars and hours are spent each year to preserve the beauty and charm of this campus. Each student could contribute his small part. I am sure that the "wily" political leaders of the campus figure out methods of getting votes other than cluttering up the campus with their "yellow sheets." I thank you.

Several Novel Reasons Are Given by Both Groups in Favor ing or Disapproving the Plan
"Eight o'clock, chassel?" Many staff
depts and professors, quoted these words,
last Sunday morning when an en-
lancement was made in the Kansas
concerning the recent decision of the
council favoring this change. Some uti-
tified this phrase joyfully; others, dis-
guiseably, and still others, amuritely.
There seem to be a great number of those concerned by this change who favor it, some who are very much against it, and others who don't much care whether it goes into effect or not. Most of the students who work favor it will pay more than them an hour extra pay since it will enable them to go to work an hour earlier.
"Say, that might mean all these meetings I have to to go to start earlier and I'd get home before dinner," exclaimed one girl when she was asked what she thought of the new idea. This student, like many others on the campus, is interested in activities, and evidently she feels it would give her more time if this change is made. Another student has had to remark that perhaps she might be able to enter several activities she had never had time to go into before.
The professors also voiced their ideas on the subject. One seemed almost horrified and muttered something about not having time to sweep the snow off the sidewalks before going to school in the morning. Other faculty members approved of the idea and remarked that it would give these professors with 11:30 classes a chance to eat lunch with their children and save their lives the responsibility of having two babies, since they had just been at school at 12 o'clock for their lunch hour.
"That would make too little time in the morning," and "It's too early to get up" "were the chief reasons given by students who are against the change. Many of them have the humorous side. Such things as "Wed mills all the good radio programs at noon because we would have to go home earlier." "There would be less time in school." "The cooks and waiters would all have to get to the organized houses earlier and work longer." "We wouldn't that extra 20 minutes can for lunch?" "What just as late as before, and we would lose that extra half-hour of sleep."
One professor said it really didn't make any difference to him whether the change was made or not. However, he added, "It would be like finding a new University building here." He then exclaimed, "I can't believe we can increase the number of afternoon classes and much of the University equipment which is used to a large extent only in the morning when we would be utilized in the afternoon as well. This same person also pointed out that he wasn't entirely sure of the idea that the change would help the students to only give him 10 minutes to get to work, and he would not be able to get to the course the hour following his last work-hour because the class would have started just as he finished work.
Everyone seems to have his own ideas concerning the subject. Other universities, colleges, and many high school colleges
Mid-Weeks Save
'Crosys in the Rough'
From Bathtub
Kansas had this arrangement "way back when." There is no record as to when the present arrangement, but with both faculty members and students as divided on the subject it looks as though there was no change in the change is definitely made this time.
No doubt all men imagine themselves as undiscovered baritones or "Bing Crowlsys in the rough." Expecially is this true during the bath or show. But since the mid-week variety Wednesday night there has been an unanticipated amount of singing in all of the houses. The exception of Iden Rees at the mid-week seem to have had its effect on the bathtub, tents and baritons. It may be necessary for the amateur manager of the mid-week to exercise a more preparation in the future. No doubt the Methodist church will need a man to meet next Sunday with the fairer sex—sheeled Sunday with the fairer sex—sheeled Sunday with the Methodist choir.
Robert Gard Gets Position
Robert Gard, technical director of Fraser theater, has been offered the position of the director of the Phildah Playhouse situated on Martha's Vineyard. The playhouse is a Mass. The Phildah Rice is one of the best known summer theaters on the Eastern coast.
Photographs Of Van Gogh Art On Exhibition
Photographic reproductions of many of the famous paintings of the renowned French painter, Vincent Van Gogh, are being exhibited this week in the third floor corridor of Marvin hall.
University Daily Kansan
Van Gogh, whose pictures have only recently gained much attention, was a member of a family of wealthy European art dealers, who spurned the life planned for him and became, in rapid succession: an English clerk, Methodist minister, and a minister to poverty-strike minors in the Boring coal field.

was nearly 40. It was in the south of France where he went to work that the famous episode of cutting off his ear occurred. A woman friend of his had often admired his ears and, jokingly, believed that they were Crazed, one day, by the hot sun under which he had been working, hatten, he cut off his ear with his razor, wrapped his head in a towel and carried the ear to its admirable. It was then that he chased Gaugin, another famous French painter, from his house.
Pictures included in the present exhibition at Marvin hall are: Montclair, Landscape, Landscape Near Remy, Landscape nères, L'Arbesienne, Fishing Boats, Boy's Head (which features bright red grass), and Landscape With Kitchen Gardens.
Van Gogh was among the first painters to use many bright colors in his paintings, and these are found in every conceivable color, elongated faces are all painted in unusual colors.
