Diplomacy and War
Why do the diplomats feel that they alone must carry their countries' ship on their shoulders? Why must they continually warn their allies? Why must the United States that is suppressing them or running over them?
An overwhelming majority of the people of the world are peace-loving citizens. They ask of life only happiness and security. And with this constant agitation, they haven't the slightest chance to enjoy either security or happiness. No one will ever know how satisfied they might be if the world were unhappy, and no chance to forget past unpleasant experiences. Why can't diplomats "let the past burry its dead?"
What do the people care about playing second fiddle to another nation? Playing the role of second fiddle isn't half bad—not in comparison to war—war which costs millions of dollars and thousands of male citizens!
It is a sorry old world, when one man, who is already before the eyes of the public, dares to stand up and defy all other nations, declaring, "Nobody shall tell me there is such and such an international institution which I must respect." Under the present circumstances and with that attitude, that man alone could start another World War—bigger and better than the last one—which, by the way, was the "War to end War." He made a broad statement, when he said, "I made my country what it is today and I assume sole responsibility for its actions in regard to foreign nations." Just who is HE, who assumes the responsibility for throwing the world into another turmoil?
There is every reason to believe that diplomats do not want peace. Of course not, as long as they profit by war. If the profit isn't in the form of money, they make a name for themselves that goes down in history. It is well for such to remember that even the great Napoleon met his Waterloo!

What Roosevelt Wants
Last week anyone who happened to be standing around where our worthy politicians are likely to be found probably heard this remark: "The ocean is certainly in a pretty kettle of fish now."
The Supreme Court laid low his once balanced budget—except for relief expenses—with their death blow to the A. A. A. and Congress further increased his difficulties by passing the bonus over his veto. To straighten out that mess meant the levying of huge taxes and any political neophyte knows what that means in an election year.
The president, however, got together with his "powers that be" and formulated a new tax program which practically converted a distinct political liability into an asset. He told Congress what they already knew; that he wanted over a billion dollars in new taxes to restore the budget to its original shape. He wanted to raise this sum partly by a "windfall tax" and by small scale processing taxes which would make up for A. A. A. levies which the government had counted on in its original estimates.
His third proposal, however, left congress momentarily bewildered and stunned. He asked for a complete revision of corporation income taxes. His plan would repeal the present corporation tax system, which is divided into three parts, and in its stead place a new single tax, averaging 33 per cent, on the undivided earnings. This would boost governmental income about $620,-000,000 annually.
Immediately big business set up a howl saying that their surpluses had kept losing industries going in time of stress. Roosevelt had his answer all prepared. "The purpose of this tax system is not to destroy all useful accumulations of earning, but merely to limit them."

How About Minor Sports?
Though the football team has this year enjoyed a fairly successful season and the basketball team: has experienced its usual fine record, what is becoming of the other sports here at Kansas? Is track, swimming, and wrestling, like baseball, doomed to sink into oblivion here on Mt. Orcad?
There was a time, not so long ago, when Cunningham, Hall, and Co. were invincible both indoors and outdoors, at least as far as the Big Six conference was concerned. In the recent Big Six indoor track meet, however, Kansas brought up the rear in the scoring in as decisive a manner as they had won two years previously. True, scholastic difficulties, in this instance, dealt a body blow to the team, but track does appear to be losing out.
Although never winning the conference wrestling championship, nevertheless, Kansas teams have enjoyed varying degrees of success in past seasons. This year after a feeble start, the wrestling schedule was abandoned for the remaining season. Practically the same is true as regards swimming. In the recent Big Six meet in Kansas City, Kansas finished far in the rear.
Is it because of scholastic difficulties, lack of interest, poor material, inferior equipment, or a conglomeration of all, that is spelling doom for these sports? It would indeed, be just as pitiful for Kansas to fall into a one sport University as it would be for it to have but one school or department for academic training. Though this may sound a trifle impossible, the minor sports and track are showing a decided indication of following in the footsteps of Kansas baseball.

Editor Daily Kansan:
An open letter to Professor Blank—Every day you leave a portion of your lecture to give after the whale blows. Previously the Kansan has printed editorials asking you, and many of your contemporaries, to excuse class on time. Hill politicians have even taken up the fight against your lecture. But you are still keeping us after the whale blows.
You accomplish little in these extra minutes. There is always confusion at the door, where students are waiting to come into the class-room. We, the students in your room, are supposed to be waiting; we're attempting to get ready to rise to our next lecture.
Because you keep us late every day makes little difference to some of the students for their next classes are near. Some of us, though, are required to hurry to the other end of the campus, where we enter our next class late, disturb the entire group, and cause unpleasant looks or comments from that professor.
Perhaps you don't understand that the University allows you fifty minutes for your lecture and no more. Would it not be possible for you to end the discussion promptly when the whistle blows? A.L.
Editor Daily Kansan:
May we offer congratulations to the P.S.C.L. At last they are sponsoring something that sounds good and this time its something no one can check accurately on. The stag line question was an unfortunate choice and it seems that the boys have dropped it like a hot potato. With this difference, the party appelle to the men in such a way that it sounds good and it won't make much difference how it turns out because no one will know just how well the plan does work.
It's getting close to election time and the boys have to do something to attract attention to the party so we have the new play. Perhaps it's as good as any, so good luck and lots of votes. Lyman.

March 17 has been set aside for the celebration of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. Tradition has visited the saint with extraordinary powers. Legends say he drove the snakes out of Ireland; he brought darkness upon his enemies; he overcame Druid sorries by miracles; after his death there was no night for 12 days; and his body diffused sweet odors. The popular saying that he "found no Christians in Ireland," he says, peteated, postured, but his work did insure the speed and complete triumph of Christianity over the Drudr religion.
History of St. Patrick, Patron Saint Of Ireland, Clouded by Various Myths
June Thompson Esther Anderson
Associated with the celebration of St. Patrick's day is the wearing of green and the shamrock, symbolic of the "Emerald Isle." The shamrock is said to have first been used by St. Patrick as a symbol of the Irish crown. The Royal Order of Saint Patrick was an old fraternal organization which consisted of the king, knights, and princes. Their symbol, a white oval bearing St. Patrick's cross, three crowns, and two sashes, has probably helped to spread the use of the shamrock on St. Patrick's Day.
There is some mention of St. Patrick's Day as being favorite for planting potatoes. The connection probably is only through the name "Trish". Planting dates depend upon climate and location, but Trish is also known for little of actual fact is known of his life that the legendary side has achieved more importance, Patrick was born about 389, probably in southwestern Britain, not far from the Irish Channel. His British name was Succet but Patricia name was his Roman name Patricia.

When Patrick was 16 he was carried from his home by a bond of Irish maudrusters. Tradition says that Patrick* master dwellled in northern Dardalasia in his autobiography Patrick said *I was"nibu to the western sea."
Patrick was held as a slave for six years. During this time he became subject to religious emotion and behold the dangers of his escape. Through some difficulty he gained an opportunity to work his passage to the Continent on a ship used to transport goods from England day journey they landed on the west coast of Gaul and travelled for about a month through barren land. Patrick left his companions and again beheld
Again tradition clouds facts, but it is generally believed that Patrick spent a few years in the monastery of Leicas. After this he probably returned to Britain where he got the idea of becoming Auxerre in Gaul to make further preparations, and by 432 he went to Ireland as the consecrated bishop.
The Christian communities were located on the western and southern coasts, but he did not confine his work to these areas. He did not place diplagans in all parts of the world. He was divided into petty kingdoms. Leopare, the high king, was not converted, but his brother, Conall, was; and Patricius, a low priest, continued venerable Droit drusion. About 441-443 he went to Rome and secured the approval of Pope Lei the Great. In 444 he founded Armugh and it is the ecclesiastical center of Ireland.
In his old age Patrick was the subject of bitter and unjust criticism, and he retired from the head of the church several years before his death. He died in

If you were to "Dust down your trouncers with Raymond's Whisk Brooma, Keep clean from dust," in a sensibility column today, you would probably read about how joke on the society editor. But those lines actually appeared in the society column of the "University Weekly" in 1894. In a column of persons under the head "Pick Up" was another add-on; the Big line of Pants at The Boston.
In those days the society and news columns were filled out with ads and editorial comments, all fraternity and sorority dances were called "hops," and they were all described as "delphilim" unfamiliarly called "very delicious."

Ottawa, Can., (U.P.)—A "Property Housing Association," backed by leaded men and industrials, has been formed, the organization paigning on the Canadian Government to build a new prosperity in housing on a vast house-building program.
Canadian Business Men Start Housing Drive For New Prosperity
The "Student Journal," the first university newspaper, began publication in 1892 as a five column weekly. The name was changed several times before the paper became the "University Press." In 1904, seven column daily with United Press service, and covers local and campus events.
Presenting its case in full-page newspaper advertisements, the association declares Canada's unemployment and rising public debt problems could be solved by taking 600,000 men from the country to constructing 55,000 new homes throughout the country. It estimates that at least 25,000 new homes must be built
every year to take care of the growing population and avoid an acute housing problem.
The association's chief point of argument is that Britain is the most prepossessive nation in the world today because of its great house-building program, and "what Britain has done, Canada can and must do."
It points out that various governments are spending $145,000,000 a year on the core of 1,000,000 jobs, and the governments-federal, provincial and municipal sectors are making further and further into it at a rate of $8,000,000 a year.

Booing Might Distract Officials Says E.C. Quigley, Veteran Sports Referee
By Ray Noble, c'37
As the gun sounded at the end of the Kansas-Missouri basketball game in LawREN, recently, the crowd roared appreciatively at the Kansas victory which climaxed an all-victorious season. One man walked slowly off the court seemingly unaware of the crowd which milled around the teams and coaches. Despite the fact that this man was unnoticed by the player, he played one of the most important roles in the game. The defender, veteran reference, well known to Kansas sports crowds as well as other sports crowds throughout the nation.
One of the Kansas players, a student journalist who remembered his journalistic requirements approached Mr. Quigley to secure an interview. In response, he interviewed the referee answered in a much more kindly tone than on heard in the basketball court. "My boy, if you would care to ask me a few questions while I am dressing I would be more and give you my answer to them."
The question of booing has come up often during the past season. According to m. Quigley, officials should not be bothered too much by such demonstrations from the crowd. "I cannot say that one grows calumniated to the remarks of spectators, but an official should still be allowed to give every little remark that might be aimed at him. In this respect I might add that in some localities coaching from the bench is part of the scheme or theme, as you wish, in winning games. In the Big Six and Missouri Valley conference there is a minimum amount of this done. There are also two other ways between remarks from spectators and the concerted disapproval of an official's decision. Where there is concerted disapproval of an official's decisions there will likely be found an element that is not getting what should be theirs from sports. In this day and age as much of the spectator as is absorbed by the competitor. There is no denying the fact that there is much more pleasure in officiating the student body and the spectators understand what sportmanship means. Repeated disapproval of an official's decisions, particularly in banners, the spectators understand what sportmanship is confidence in his own ability and knowledge of the playing code. Years ago my sermon to a disproaching crowd was. You are expected to approve of my
decisions even though you disagree with them.'"
In reply to the question concerning Mr. Quigley's refereeing experience, he replied, "Officiating has been my profession since the fall of 1903, when I officiated in the first real big time football game which was at Kansas State College at Manhattan, Alvin Booth of North Carolina was coaching them at that . . ."
time."
Mr. Quigley has officiated in many athletic contests since his start in 1983 and in more athletic contests than probably any other one person in the United States. In the fall, football occupies my time; in the winter it is basketball, and in the summer I fill an umpiring job in the National League. As far as work-life balance or type of basketball game, I will say that the team is on defense. Whether a team is playing a fast breakging game or a slow offensive one, there is a time when the man-to-man defense comes into action. I like to see a clever, fast-breaking offensive game because it is the brand of basketball that was once the most popular of game that will make for additional basketball fans. There are not enough slow offensive teams that play that particular type of basketball correctly.
E. C. Quigley is well known in sports as an official who "calls them as he sees them." He is abrupt and rough in his calling of fouls and the like, but the players all vouch
