"If Winter Comes----"
A writer in the Southern California Daily Trojan is crying for rain. Nay, he pleads for it saying that nothing is needed so much at the present time as rain. He also bemoans the fact that lack of moisture has produced very little snow in the higher altitudes of the mountains where students of S. C. apparently are wont to play.
It wouldn't be necessary to take a vote of the student body here at K. U. to decide the momentous question of "to send or not to send," with our love and kindest regards a couple of carboids of the combination ice-sleet-snow that makes travel perilous just now.
The man who plays checkers in the Union lounge was just a bit skepical about the weather when he last spoke on the subject but he did report that a couple of robins are to be seen about the purples of the campus. Robins and wintry blasts don't seem to go together and apparently other parts of the country are worrying about the state of the weather.
But as we go hurrying along Oread avenue the lines of the bard keep running through our head: "If winter comes. Can Spring be far away?"

Yesterday and Today
Yesterday—Charles Curtis took his leave from Kansas to become vice-president of the United States. This office topped off a political career that began as county attorney of Shawnee county, followed by his election to congress, then to the United States senate, and finally a candidate for presidential nomination. That is the story, in brief, of the latter two-thirds of his life.
The earlier years of his life are shrouded in mystery. It is known that he was a member of the Kaw Indians, with whom he lived for years, at the age of eight he rode to Topeka to bring aid to his tribesmen when they were attacked by an unfriendly tribe of Cheyennes. After that he lived in Topeka for a number of years, where he completed his high school work, studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1881. Three years later he began the political career that we are familiar with.
Today—Charles Curtis, deceased, is returning to Kansas to receive all the last rites honors that Kansas can confer on such a beloved and distinguished son.

Horses named "Supreme Court," "Balanced Budget," and "Home Loan" are reported to be doing well at the tracks. How about christening some "Roosevelt," "Landon," "Borah," etc., just to see how they come out?
Co-operation the Way Out
The pleasant prospect of international free trade, absence of war, and a vast international business system that has service as its motive instead of profit, was outlined recently by James Peter Warbasse in a Student Forum address. Idealistic as this may sound, the ground work for such a society is actually being laid by Co-operative groups throughout the world. A foothold is even being gained in materialistic America.
Co-operative leaders realize, however, that such a program cannot be put into effect over night. They know that an intense program of social education must be absorbed by participants before such a scheme can become an actuality. They know that there are problems within their own organization that must be met before they can expand too far.
Consequently the co-operative movement in the United States is progressing slowly. It is expanding only as rapidly as security allows. It is not trying to overstep itself. It is not driving for members; it is letting people, whose interest has been aroused, come to it. It is meeting and solving the problems that arise through its growth and organization. As it has no ulterior motives to hide, and no selfish interests to satisfy, it can be free and open in all its dealing.
So while the ultimate accomplishments of the co-operative movement may fall short of its high ideals, it can, nevertheless, and does offer a discount to its members as it strives toward its goal.

Campus Opinion
For another year, the Athletic Department has seen fit to exclude baseball from our catalog of spring sports. Just last month, the University of Minnesota

able to determine. However we'll assume for the basis of argument or otherwise that it lack of finances.
Consider our Activity Ticket. In the spring semester there seems to be very little if anything, aside from the relays (and these are usually held at some convenient time when the students are out of town on spring vacation), offered in the realm of sports. Doesn't it seem peculiar that $275 per student paid for our spring semester activity but that there is sufficient tuition emtation to provide for anything but the relays, and possibly a little tennis?
Of course we realize that the pitifully small share of this activity ticket that the Athletic Department receives does not even begin to ad in deferring the expenses of the reals, so that the merchants and others must contribute to all in these expenses. That being the case, might it not be better to send the merchandise to that bassball for even a few games could be included?
Baseball is conceded to be our Great American Sport. Why then, in this school which is endeavouring to rank itself as a leader in American Sports, must it be entirely excluded here? We have a multitude of material for students to learn and play in the sport, who greatly desire to see this game played as an integral part of our competitive sports system. By bringing baseball back to Kansas, we can not only satisfy the desires of our student body and faculty to see some real baseball games, but we can balance up the activity ticket so that the spring ticket will begin to offer something comparable to the present.

Chancellor Enjoys Summer Vacation Fishing With Three Fellow Anglers
Entered as second class master, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas.
By Alma Frazier, c'36
Dr. Lindley usually spends his summer vacation fishing with his three companions: Dr. R. L. Sutton of Kansas City, President L. D. Coffman of Minnesota and President Walter A. Jessup of the University of Iowa.
As in the Gulf they flutter and swish?
What will the tarpons do, poor fish,
What will they think when the Ph.D's.
Bait their hooks with doctors' degrees?
Will say to his crew: "Now gentlemen!
This is a fight to make tarpon love
We guess the boss of the tarpons then
So make the waters rumble and roar,
And as a prize, bring back to me
a shiny Phi Beta Kappa key"

"To be a good fisherman," our Proxy explained, "you must get one out of seven strikes. My first catch was the most thrilling. I missed the first 11 strikes but I caught the next three in succession. We also like to study Indian archeology in Mexico and the remains of the Indian culture."
"Chancellor Lindley's happiest afternoon was on the desk, trying for a gai. Dr. Stutton wrote about their expedition to Armens Peak, near the town of Killenbury, March 1823. "He was assisted by fifteen or twenty little chips, freckle-faced and sandy-haired for the most part, all of them energetic fishermen, who were on deck." A hospitable youngster, who had just captured a small, ash-colored bullhead with pink whalers, halved it with a dull pocket knife, and graciously pre-nailed a portion to the kindly Press "What is that creature other half?" asked Dr. Lindley. "Other half for the cat," said the little fellow, and just then a huge black feline, with a pleasure-arched back and gently tail, strilled up to claim its share.
"Finally, a gar begen nibbling at the bait and carried it out several feet from the dock. "Sock him." yelled one diminutive cleverer. "Let him swinger it, sagged advisely another. 'Wait until he turns,' insisted a third. At last the gar

Hollywood Film Shop
Hollywood — (UP) — Goofy looking Stuart Erwin says it isn't so—he's not dumb, he's just smart.
He takes the formula so seriously that he even applies it to living his private life.
"Ive found the easiest way for success," he chuckles. "Play dumb and be smart."
The "bobb" of the screen—the slow thinker, the slow walker, the wondering taker—peeps his off-stage lines in the same key drawal that he affects the camera and microphone, and be has seldom been known to hurry.
Erwin has developed the "play damn and be smart" formula during the last seven years. When he made his debut in 1984, he had little to become a director. He even though he'd be a producer some day. However, those in the high places of command decided that he would decide — a dejoior of "simple" roles.
As a result, he's just kept on acting—or being smart, by appearing dumb. "A comedian," he says, "should be allowed to use his own method for achieving an effect. His work is far more spontaneous. Many have been fired because he simply became a comedian could not adjust his natural tendencies to them.
Friends of Ewin have told him that he should make a change in pictures. His continual portrayal of individuals not brisk mentally, might "ub" him as one. He should demand a more serious role, say Hamlet, they declared.
"Character actors have less worries and a longer curver," he explained. And the exponents of the "play dumb and be smart" school chalked up another victory for the foremost exponent of their school.
Erwin's greatest worry at the present time concern his home. It seems that he has an uncontrollable yen for dogs and must collect them. What his wife, the dog owner, formerly of the screen, has to say about the dogs is unknown. Nor does she mention all the photographic equipment he has tucked in odd corners of the room. No one in her hobbies. He can even devise the negatives now, he says.
Likes Traveling Incognito
The Chancellor delights in going places and meeting people. Extremely democratic, he likes to converse with men in all walks of life.
"I like to hide my identity in the summer time and get to know all kinds of people, especially gas station men and others," remarked Chancellor Lindley.
Chancellor Lindley is interested in the students' wellness while they are in school. She encourages students in their careers and success. The Prexy encourages every student to participate in intramural sports and provides a variety of opportunities to innovate the health of the students.
He also enjoys his game of golf. He is interested in the theater, movies, art, music. "The University aims to teach the students the 'Art of Living,' bringing them with others and making the best of their opportunities," he concluded.
Dark Continent Unable To Support More Whites.Report Statisticians
Continent Not Congested
THREE UNIVERSITIES PLACED IN SAME CLASS AS HARVARI
It is pointed out by statisticians that it isn't lack of space in Africa or overpopulation by native peoples that has hindered white migration for this continent, which covers about 11,500,000 square miles, supports a total population of 150,000,000, which hardly compares with congested Europe, one of the world's square miles, with a population four times as much or about 550,000,000.
All of Africa, after a century of colonization, only contains a total white population of about 3,550,000. Although northern Africa bordering the Mediterranean has been known and colonized by whites for centuries, a really vivid example of this is relatively modern, dating back approximately half a century.
The University of California, the University of Wisconsin and Harvard are ranked in that order as distinguished institutions of learning by Walter C. Eells, writing in the current Atlantic Monthly.
The contention that most of the area of the second largest continent in the world is not favorable to white settlement is borne out by the fact that 50 per cent of the white inhabitants are from northern and southern extremities.
White Population Groused
With a few figures, these statisticians prove that the climate and geographic conditions of the "Dark" Continent are hostile to white men and that therefore the arguments advanced by Italy and Germany for territory in the over-populated conditions at home are fallacious ones.
Don't Be Deluded,
Not All Snakes Harmful;
Says Visiting Author
Paris, Feb. 5. — (UP) -Africa cannot support many more whites than are there now, for most of the African Continent does not favor white colonization, according to French statisticians.
The article was written in refutation of a similar piece, by Edwin R. Embree, which appeared in the Atlantic last fall and was published that Harvard was "in a class by itself."
According to Eells, Embree's article is "dogmaate and annoyed," and was the result of subjecting the facts to questions and perhaps questionable treatment."
He is the author of a number of books on the subject, his "King Snakes in the United States" being regarded as a classic. He and his colleague, Mr. H. K. Gloyd, have just arrived here just arrived here from a five months trip to Europe. He will go and after more than a week here they will go to St. Louis. They expect to examine every snake in every collection of any size in the country.
Mr. Glioy is a former student and instructor at Ottawa University. The two men will examine the snakes with their tongues, if any, variations exist among species.
The Union of South Africa has the greatest proportion of whites, with 2,000,000, while French North Africa, comprising Aligiers, Morocco and Tunis, has 1,200,000. The remainder of Africa supports the remaining 350,000 whites.
Persons suffering from the popular delusion that all snakes are harmful can unburden themselves of that notion right now, according to Dr. Frank Schmitt, an expert in cannage, who is studying the collection in Snow hall preparatory to writing a book on the subject Dr. Blanchard says Lawrence people need fear only the Copperhead and the rattlesnake, the other harmless or actual boon to man.
Divided by national possessions,
Great Britain leads with 2,154,000
whites in her colonies. France is second
with 1,246,000. Portugal third with
65,000. Italy fourth with 56,000,
Belgium last with 26,000.
Germany, which was considered one of the greatest colonizers before the World War, in 1911, after 25 years of colonization, only succeeded in amassing 15,800 white subjects in all her African colonies.
Italy, with her three African possessions-Lybia, Eritrea and Somaliland. The population of 56,000 has a square mile* only—has a colonial white population of 56,000. Of this, total only 4,100 are located in Eritrea, 3,550 are settled in the capital town of Ammas.
Lybia Sparsely Settled
Lycaena spatharia
Lycaena is used for the stretch along the coast, it is an uninhabited desert. Most of Somaliand is a lowland reeking with disease, while only the north of Eritrea can support any kind of a population.
Although there still remain certain sections of Africa which have not yet been explored or seen by white men and are still left uncolored on maps, they do not account for the statistics that Africa could not furnish healthy subsistence to many more

whites than are there now. They believe that the saturation point has almost been reached.
The conquest of Ethiopia by Italy and restoration to Germany of the colonies which were taken from her after the war would not start a flow of Italian and German immigrants to Africa, say those scientists, and the manner of rebuilding it is unclear. The Peninsula and the German nation would still remain unsolved.
Austin, Tex. (U.F.)—Soon there will be no excuse for University of Texas students not knowing what time it is. A tower clock 12 feet in diameter will be erected on the new administration building. It will be visible five miles. Fifty-five clocks will be in the new building.
