THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 1935 KING SOLOMON IN ALL HIS WISDOM The scream of brakes suddenly applied. A swerving car, a crash—and another automobile accident. An ambulance carries an inert and bleeding body to the hospital. Time passes and a once active and attractive young woman lies on her hospital bed, eyes closed, utter despair written large over her face. Only she knows the morbid and pitious thoughts that race through her mind. Then one day the whole nation is shocked. A Buffalo, N. Y., newspaper prints a story about a petition filed by the young woman lying on that hospital bed disfigured and a helpless cripple despite the best efforts of skilled surgeons. Helpless and unable to commit suicide, she petitions the court for aid. That young woman has petitioned the court to assign a physician to kill her. She pleads that life is worthless for her, a helpless cripple—she cannot stand the thought of a long dreary existence dependent on others. What a tragic price to pay for our modern mania for speed that we, civilized human beings, should make it necessary for any judicial officer to pass on such a petition. Drive carefully and don't suffer the remorse that follows an automobile accident. The next time you are tempted to "step on it" just to get there a little ahead of time, think of the weeks of agony on a hospital bed that may result. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the author and may contain some unintended errors; lengths are submitted to the editor by the authors. Confirmation of accuracy is required. Editor Daily Kansan: The proximity of Thanksgiving with thoughts of stern Pilgrim fathers and desquire Pilgrims may help explain the paradox. Is there a reason for all of the prudacity at the app meetings? Little by little it is getting to be so bad that the girls in attendance are beginning to feel out of place. Since this is a co-educational institution and since the girls have their share of pop for the support of the team couldn't a little more deferences be given to the fair soo. In anticipation of some reprepairs we need them. We know that a pair of pink tea and that ex-trainer in a football rally are not required to be on a per with those of a drawing room and yet need a rally be raised to be good? We weared perk tails that took the ceiling off when it came to roaring enthusiasm and yet not a single oath was uttered. It's a gift to get a brief rally speech 'over' and it can be done by employing skilfully the King's English and by having the proper enthusiasm back of it. We let's have more of that kind. M.R. Editor Daily Kansan: With a sincere appreciation of the part the student body is doing through the Activity Ticket Fee in making possible the continuance of the Concert Course, we feel in view of certain student reactions on seating arrangements at the Fritz Kreisler concert that more information should be made public to the student body at large concerning the problems in financing a series such as we are offering here at the University this season. when the idea of a student activity ticket was first proposed several years ago, it was definitely stated to the Concert Course Management that unless some way could be worked out whereby the concert attractions could be made more accessible, the ticket proposal would not be developed further. With the opening of the new University Auditorium, after considerable reluctance and certain mingwings, plans were worked out to be tried on a probationary basis that would first allow all our students to attend the most musical talent at a cost unbelievably low, and would also allow the Concert Course Management sufficient leeway to obtain additional funds through season tickets and single admission to others as to guarantee a strictly first-class array of talent and the absence of a deficit at the close of the season. To do this, the management had to gamble on a belief that—sorry an one is to record it—a considerable number of students with admission cards already their would deliberately pass up concert course numbers for ack of interest. With an auditorium seating not quite 1000, it was at a once evident that if all enrolled students attended any one event on the series, accommodations would be difficult to provide. No concert artist of recent years is more widely known than Fritz Kreisler. No concert artist today commands a higher fee for an evening's performance. In keeping with a steady policy that the cost is none too good for the University and the community, and yet with considerable anxiety as to how to finance such a high-priced popular artist as Kreisler, all he might be drawn to hear him, the man, Mr. Kreisler, Mr. Kreisler on the regular activity ticket basis rather than bring him as an extra attraction was first thought necessary. It may be of interest to know that Mr. Kreisler for his concert in Lawrence took away a considerable larger fee than will be received by the Concert Course Management for the six major and one extra attractions that are being offered this year on the activity tickets. To hear this robust display of music, you will need to pay slightly over ten cents admission, as the Concert Course receives around 72 cents on each activity ticket purchased. As to attendance, it was as near a "sell-out" as any musical number has been here at the New Auditorium. For the first time it was necessary to use nearly all the seats in both galleries and to place chairs on the stage in addition to the musical staff at the front of the main floor, several on the stage, and on the second gallery that were not filled. It is nicely hoped that no student had to stand through failure on the part of the ukues to locate these places. Those without activity tickets paid $2.00 for such places on the main floor and $1.50 for second A recent report from the State University of a neighboring state shows that their Cœur Course was allowed well over double what is being allotted here at the University of Kansas as their share from the general activity fee for a series of four musical attractions one. The management region "owns" the five-hour line yard with our large enrollment, it is again self-evident that the very best seats can be had by a but limited few. On the other hand, the University is to be congratulated upon an Auditorium where the acoustics are such that music can be heard in splendid style in any part of the building without distortion or any noise. Again, the artist can be easily seen from any seat, which is the case in some other concert halls of such proportions. presentation has been, and shall continue to be, to bring the best possible talent to this community at the lowest financial consideration that can be worked out. Few are the world's great artists that have not already appeared here. Such musical artists command much higher fees than any other class appearing on the public platform. We have no desire to allow the concert series to successfully continue on its present arrangement. This arrangement very definitely requires that considerable revenue shall be brought in from outside sources inasmuch as fees from the activity tickets pay less than half the cost of the course. With an understanding on the part of all of the problems of the management in the promotion of the concert course, we will have no role of sympathy or co-operation on the part of the student body and others in helping us to do this.

Eagle, 36 Boring Lectures Give Students An Opportunity To Improve A. P. Herbert once said, "the art of drawing should be encouraged." He wright-drawing should be encouraged The great American populace is suffering from a severe malady, the inability to draw, but few people can letter well. It has come to the point where one has to pay to have a picture drawn or a poster written; it has gone the way of everything, it has become professional. Yet it is not the case that you cannot be in the Engineering School to be proficient at lettering, neither can everyone be in the Fine Arts School to become an illustrator and decorator. Let us see what is back of this lack of ability. With the quickening of all access to technology, there are pressed for time and the situation in which to practice in order that he may become proficient. There is spare time, but one can always get into some kind of discussion or read a diverting novel—not only to enjoy, but also to be he up and about, constantly active. We can't go into detail on the things one might be doing, you know them as well as we do. But by a process of elimination, it becomes evident there is only one time when the situation is particularly conducive to drawing. The lectures. For then, one is confined to one location for a considerable time; he can give him mind full rein, and he nearly always has a scrap of paper and a writing instrument. What better time to learn than to begin with a whole hearted and sincere efforts toward the practical art of drawing? There are two types of lectures, those inrequent ones where one sits in a auditorium for an hour or so listening to someone expand on a topic that has not already be interested—but then, what's the use of becoming interested when one can illustrate his notebook? This type of lecture affords us the opportunity to teach its hardness, it is far too infrequent. So one must revert to the other type of lecture—those daily classroom sessions which usually total two or three hours a day for five days a week. One can have only slight interruptions while moving from class to class. But there must be some sort of system followed. One can work out his decorative theme during the first lecture of the day and elaborate on it. This can come more and more bored with the lectures, and one grows more sleepy. It is indeed wise to plan fully one’s scheme early in the day, for as the day goes by his mind becomes more and more intricate, so the point where he can do only mechanical decorations with only few really creative design. It is a generally accepted fact that one should work one day on each particular type of design, but you can never be certain one might device a week to triangles and all their possibilities, another to circles, another to faces, and another to the letters of the alphabet. Of course one will always find that he prefers one over the others often reverts to this when in reality he should be practicing on his self-assumed assignment. However, this will not be of great harm to him, because constant practice on a particular design will make him much better at his design and an authority on the subject. But don't think for a minute that the only good to be derived from decorating Their Ar one's notebook is the practice he receives This is far from the full benefit of the art. There is a certain personal satisfaction to which drawing is conducive. You will find that it is important to the student, and nothing will divert his attention so far from the lecture, as a cleverly executed and elaborate sketch will be sufficient to Watch one time when he is deeply engrossed in this art of drawing. Notice the expression of self-contentment and complete satisfaction on his face, and you will understand why proof that this is a profitable pastime. Philosophers have long agreed that the greatest good comes from the greatest happiness; that one should do those things which produce self pleasure. The greatest pleasure comes from the situation which is made possible to go into the unpleasant places to go into the unpleasant pictures, that is a self-containing and granted fact. "To get to the point where one is totally oblivious to the lecture which is so disconcerting to him, and become come-around to him," said Ms. Jenkins at that at the end of the period he known nothing that was said during the class period—all this requires practice and experience; for it cannot be obtained without the record it well worth the effort! Hollywood Film Shop Hollywood — (CIP) — Five thousand songs a year is Hollywood's contribution to American music, estimate Mack Gorrie and others. A writing team of the film industry. Paramount Studio, where they work, makes 65 pictures annually. Each picture contains from one to 15 songs. They recover old recordings from 1928 from that studio alone each year. There are eight studies in Hollywood, turning out 2,000 tunes. Add on the independents, and "incriminal" music that is heard, back of dialogue, but never sung, and the mass totals up to about 5,000. Just how much is entitled to be called music, they admit, is open to debate. The majority are published, however "No picture." Gordon declared, "is "Fred MacMurray only hummed two lines of a tune called 'Good Morning in Hands Across the Table,' yet Sam Connelly a complete song, and good ones." "Ralph Rainer and Leo Robin wrote 15 songs for 'Rose of the Rancho.' That was a terrific job, and took a couple of NEW EASY TERMS Chrysler Motors Commercial Credit Company TIME PAYMENT PLAN % months. A lot of pictures need 10 times. Five isn't the high average at all." Quality of Hollywood songs is evidenced by the ASCAP report on songs of 1634. Fourteen of the 25 most popular—third, second and third—were from the pictures. BULLENE-SKINNER Motor Co. 621 Mass. Phone 361 ROCK - - - CHALKLETS Conducted by J.M. So we have scheduled a football game with Western Reserve! Aren't we good enough for their first team? We suppose this week, we must say "Collar Colorado." One of the boys said he was "spirited away" the other night in Lincoln. He was, but not the way we think. One thing about a new instructor. Everyone starts from scratch when he gives quizzes because no one has his former quizzes filed away. A violin we observe to be a woode instrument with a Mae West figure. We are wondering if "cribbling" refers to, to the fact that it is an infant practice; or are cribs a thing beyond memory? This stratosphere business would be fine if it were not for the stress-fear.
