Coming of Age
And we have to listen to it!
During a recent radio address Father Coughlin, Detroit's radio priest, brought out the following facts concerning John J. O'Connor, chairman of the House rules committee. "O'Connor is a servant of the money changers. He is deliberately imbuiding members of the House into striking men in order to force a vote on the Frazer-Lemke inflation bill calling for $3,000,000 in new money.
O'Connor was listening to the broadcast and when he heard this thundering charge his Irish blood took charge of the situation and immediately caused him to telegraph Coughlin. "You're a disgrace to my church. Come to Washington and I'll personally kick you down Pennsylvania Avenue with your clerical garb and all your ill-gotten Wall street silver."
The whole dispute which arises out of Coughlin's support of the bill and O'Connor's strangle hold on it due to his position as chairman of the House rules committee is a childish and utterly inane mixture of petty political jealousies. This case is not the only offender. There are hundreds of others all arising out of the same type of situation. By just such cases as the one above, however, is shown the fact that our political leaders have not as yet proved they can rise above personalities, and until they do, these happenings will continue.
We, as students of this University, are just about ready to vote on the issues and men of our times. What do we see, concrete platforms and men worthy of their positions of trust? No, we a great battle of petty personalities and equally petty issues. We find all this and yet for our own advancement we can do nothing but conform.

America's Youth
The future strength of America lies in the potential strength of its youth. The potential strength of its youth depends upon the opportunity that America offers its youth to prepare for the future. Knowing this to be a fact, the federal government, by a special executive order of the President, established the National Youth Administration, whose duty it is to assure young men and women of this country the privilege of preparing themselves for intelligent, useful citizenship.
In 1932, there were 23 million young people between the ages of 16 and 24, in the United States. Of this group, 11 million were employed; four million were in high school, and seven million were riding the rods. They were bums, tramps, lawbreakers—victims of an illusive thing called a depression. They were deprived of their just right to prepare themselves for a harmonious existence. They were in their plastic years and were being seriously affected by the adverse conditions they faced. They had nothing real, nothing substantial on which to place their feet.
Realizing the gravity of this situation, youth leaders throughout the country began to take steps to get American youth off the freight trains, out of the hobo camps, and into environments that would breed intelligent citizens, not criminals. At first only a few realized the seriousness of youth's position, but slowly the facts were brought to light, presented to the President of the United States and the NYA was evolved with a federal appropriation of 50 million dollars for a working fund.
The objects of this organization were to give aid to capable and deserving college and high school students, to provide a plan whereby high school graduates might continue their work at home if they were unable to attend college, to give students an opportunity to do graduate college work, and aid local organizations in providing profitable uses for the leisure time of youth.
This year more than 200,000 students will be helped through high school, 120,000 assisted through college, and many others placed in apprentices jobs throughout the country. These facts show the tremendous amount of good which is being done by the NYA movement.
Headline in Michigan State News — Dean Mitchell to Tell Truth on Wednesday. We wondered if Mr. Ripley should be notified but the story turned out to be a harmless "faculty opinion of students" affairs.
Chapel Hill seems to be continually getting in the news. Now a group is trying to promote a beer dispensing "rathskellar" in the basement of the Y building to provide a meeting place for the faculty club.
Leap Year Scheme
The true believers in leap year rituals are to be praised! It is hoped that there are many of them. It seems that the true believers have the plan whereby if a young man rejects a girl who asks him for a date, he buys her a box of candy to soothe her wounded feelings.
This custom is carried on at Drake and might well be accepted here at K. U. In the hope of getting a box of candy, more girls will ask boys for dates to Leap Year functions, more boys can accept (and reject) and the parties will have bigger crowds and make more money. It is a good idea and should work beautifully here.
Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
It seems there is considerable concern on the part of some students over the dramatic policy at the University. It should be understood that in any field such as, Dramatics, music, art, eic, there is much to be gained from the standpoint of the student in seeing how things should be done. This plain and simple fact has evidently escaped the attention of "An Interested Student" or else he singles out the dramatic department for some private tuition. But he leasls, he should liecritized the Fine Arts school also, as most of the results are by faculty members.
It would seem to be unbused that the writer of these previous editorsials was going far afield to find something upon which to take out his dislike of the weather. This is perfectly understandable, however, because there must be something more than dissatisfaction with the weather to warrant his getting his article published.
If the Interested Students' with the inferiority complex has been slightly or not having been allowed to display his talents in these productions, I am sure that a student from our school may have his being allowed to be a member of some mob in the wings, or to sit on the "throne" while the play was going on. If his histrionic ability is not better than his discurment, as displayed in his editorial, he will be able to take the lead and be After all, Mr. Craton is directing the department.

Editor, University Daily Kansan:
While reading the Daily Kaman last Sunday, the following headline came to my attention: "Farley Lands in California."
Although it is not my intention to criticize a paper for its stand on any controversial issue, it is my intention to refer to or point out any misstatement of fact where it is as glaring in the present case.
Having heard Mr. Farley's address, no one could say that there was any attack what-so-called on Mr. Landon. It was just an opening statement of the campaign in this debate, which he did not announce more. There was no mud-slinging at the Landon at all.
However, as I read the story concerning the address by Mr. Farley, it was evident that the writer of the headline wrote that the Kansas City Star's basis of his incarceration. The Kansas City Star's headline about the address did not give the same interpretation as did the Kanan. In the Star's headline, the following sentence clearly states that the news reports not quite follow the idea as presented by the Kanan.
Perhaps this was just an oversight on the part of the writer of that headline, but it has been evident in many cases how wrong a story can be when conform to the story, or give it the wrong interpretation. One such story appeared recently when the report of the court ordered the arrest of Mr. Shapiro.

Strange indeed are the ways of college students in restaurants. Witness for example the young man who danced into a Hill cush during the morning rush and called his order to a waiter.
"How Do You Like Your Eggs?"
"Fine, How Do You Like Yours?"
By Bill Rodgers, e'38
"Give me some bacon and eggs," he said.
"Fine thanks, how do you like your?"
"How do you like your eggs?" the waiter asked.
"How do you like your eggs?"
"Cooked, fresh, tender, rare," a some of the common rollicking as sweets.
Of course such an answer might have been the result of a misunderstanding, yet that simple question, "How do you like your eggs?" brings to mind a lesson in nature than the most popular limerick contest. Campus wuns recognize in it a golden opportunity to display their capricious talent, while even students who appear in the intellectually above them give way before its mystic appeal.
"Fired in deep grease six weeks after they hatch," is a reply calculated to panic everyone within hearing except the youngest. "They do not unfortunately individuals possess not the slightest trace of humor in their makeup, and are apt to be thrown into a state of ruld hysteria by such humiliating answers to such a simple question."
Perhaps there is a legitimate doubt in the minds of some students regarding the preparation of their food, but certainly there is no doubt in the mind of waiters after a certain sorrow woman orders.
"I want coffee," she says each morning, "and I don't want it cold. I want water." She uses it when it burns. I want orange juice instead of water in it. I want a package of cigarettes and I don't want to wait for them. Stash is the ultimatum. What can we do with it?
Perhaps the strangest question asked of a waiter in any Hill cafe, other than what is coco cola and is coco cola r
Even worse than the dominant female and the egg funsters are the students who answer "Yes," when asked, "Milk, tea or coffee?" By such an answer they leave everyone concerned, included in an agitated state of excitement. In a jeopardizing their chance of getting even one of the drinks mentioned.
Hollywood Film Shop
--of educated man.
Hollywood. — (UIP) — Although the rhythmic gymnastics of Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire look easy, both say it's the hardest kind of work.
"Dancing," said Astaire after the team's latest picture, "Follow the Fleet," was completed, "it's more than 95 pen pens," and just about 100 per cent hard work."
His red-haired partner agreed.
"It's just work to me," she said. "You don't see me dancing for recreation. I don't like it that well."
However, the premise dance team of the screen, isn't averse to the hard work required for its art. It all has compensated by the weekly play checks are delivered.
"It takes hard work to make a success of professional dancing," explains a student who has a great deal to do with it is wrong, as far as an inspiration—a dance is good if it appears to be inspired, but inspiration had nothing to do with making it that good.
"I sometimes even practice a few steps after the picture goes into production and we're supposed to be all done with practicing and conserving our strength for the grand workout before the camera," he says.
Sines the slightly bald member of Rogues and Astirc, in abandoned the workshop to represent the reputation as a hard worker. Not once during the many weeks of rehearsal required for a few minutes of dancing on him did he protest the rigid workout.
Despite Astaire's somewhat trite formula for success, he has a few other attributes that have something to do with his role as his dance director, Mark Sandrik.
"Even holidays don't give me much of a chance to rest," Astrazi continued. "If so happened that on the last Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, I had to put in several hours of work because I had to paint the final polish as the picture progressed."
"In the first place, he literally was born with rhythm in his soul. Then he has a flair for acting and possesses inherent talent as a comedian.
"Fred is one of the hardest workers I have ever known," Sandick says, "but it has taken a lot more than hard work to make him the star he is today."
"All the training and hard work in the world couldn't have given him what he possesses without the foundation of natural talent."
But the most impossible situation developed after a charming young woman demanded a recital of all the sand-wiches available at the moment. A menu was given to her. She scornfully cast it aside.
"Do you have chicken salad?" she asked.
1. Pick the water question.
"Don't you have any dark?" the student asked.
400, resulted from the innocent query "What kind of beer do you serve?"
"Yes," the waiter replied. "Is it fresh?"
"Well, what does it taste like?"
"Chicken salad," the waiter answered.
"Yes."
"Is there any veal in it?"
"No."
"Oh, a wise guy," the charming young woman answered with great indignation, and floomed out of the establishment.
Yes indeed. Strange are the ways of educated man.

Dr. Naismith Prayed for His Salary in '96
"Wanted: A coach who can pray."
This, in essence, is the type of inquiry that brought Dr. James A. Naismith to the University of Kansas
In the early days of athletics at the University, coaching was not a full-time job, so it was the custom to engage a coach who, in addition to his duties in the athletic department, could lead the student body in prayer at the

About this time Dr. Snow, then Chancellor of the University, was in Chicago, and told A. A. Stagg of his need. Stagg remembered Dr. Natmith, with whom he had played football at the university, and recommended him for the job.
In the years that followed, athletes grew in importance to the extent that a full-time coach was hired. Dr. Nainaith was assigned to the physical education department, but continued in capacity as prayer leader for some time.
And so it was that Dr. James A Nalmi, praying coach, inventor of basketball, came to the University of Kan-

Russian Museum
Solves Painting Mystery
By Restoration Job
"Ladies will not be permitted to receive calls without the permission of the preceptress. No callers will be received on Sunday."
Leningrad—(UP) -A master job of restoring by the Russian Museum cleared up the mystery of a valuable painting recently received here.
An expert was ordered to get to work. He delicately removed the top layer of paint and found under it an Eighteenth Century painting. Continued research uncovered a work of the Seventeenth Century beneath the Eighteenth Century drawing.
When the icon "Baptism" arrived at the museum, officials were doubtful as to its exact age because of conflicting identification. The style of painting and clothing of the Nineteenth Century, but the wood used belonged to an earlier period.
Under the rules, "ladies" and "gentlemen" were free to come and go as they liked, provided they kept up with each other's rooms, between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., on Saturday and on Monday until evening study hours, which began at 7 p.m.
WOMEN SHOW ENTHUSIASM FOR MANLY ART OF FENCIN
Cambridge, Mass. — (UP) – Women seem to be taking up the “gentleman’s” sport of fencing which is lunging forward in leaps and bounds in college and schools in Greater Boston; its name Peroy, Harvard fencing imitates Rene Peroy.
Not satisfied with these achievements, the expert peeled another layer of paint and revealed the original icon, painted by Andrey Rubley, famous Russian icon artist, who did his greatest work at the end of the Fifteenth Century.
Besides Harvard, other colleges taking the sport are aid, Bradford Girl's School and University for Physical Education, several other girls' schools and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Boston Y.W. also has started giving institutions.
