WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2, 1935 GIRLS! GIRLS! It has been generally recognized that the function of an editor is largely to inform, to instruct, and to interpret. It has never been mentioned that the role of disciplinarian is also considered one of the editorial tasks. In fact, the Kausan Board has never issued instructions to the editorial staff that such is the case. It seems that a number of the women are a bit upset over the apparent lack of respect shown the university closing rules by some of the senior women. Being upset and with a certain amount of feminine logic, these girls argue that the Kansan ought to administer a scolding because—well, BECAUSE. The editor of the Kansan appreciates the implied compliment in the request for an editorial on the subject of the lack of proper respect shown by senior women toward the university closing rules. But somehow or other the editor seems to have heard of regularly appointed disciplinary routine to handle such matters. At least there is no sign in the Journalism building that announces the Office of the Adviser of Women; neither does WSGA have its offices in the building; It may be up in the Sky Parlor but if so, it's a deep dark secret. No, the Kansan just hasn't the heart to "view with alarm." The situation has not yet achieved the world-shaking importance needed for editorial comment. Here's a knock for upholders of the Kansas state flower, the Sunflower. Two sections in the Revised Statutes not only declare our state floral emblem a noxious weed, but require that Kansas citizens destroy it. "The brain is nothing but a hunk of meat," declares an eminent surgeon. And some brains, if we might add our own unexpert observation, must be composed of an uncommon amount of gristle.-Kansas City Kansan. The university can never lose, declared a well-known educator, because a freshman never brings anything in and a senior never takes anything out - Cincinnati Bearcat. UNOFFICIAL OPENING William Randolph Hearst is again waving the flag. In a recent public statement he vigorously attacks the Roosevelt administration, refers to the President's "Fascist ideas of personal dictation and domination" and says that if the President were to be killed, he would feat him next year or suffer dire consequences. "If Mr. Roosevelt continues to repudiate the declarations of the Democratic platform on which he was elected," says Mr. Hearsr, "and if he also continues to dishonor his personal pledges, and if he persists in trying radically to modify our American form of free government and to impose upon our free people foreign policies of socialist regimentation and irresponsible personal despotism, he certainly must be defeated for the welfare of the nation and the safety of the republic." Quite a blast to say the least, but those who are acquainted with the past policies of Mr. Hearst will consider well the source before accepting the statement as absolute truth. This may be the opening move in the 1936 presidential election campaign, with Mr. Hearst possibly swinging his support to Governor Landon of Kansas, or Alfred E. Smith of New York. On the other hand President Roosevelt on his Western tour assured the mid-west farmers that the country was well on the road to recovery, that the sacrifices these farmers have had to make have been well worth the prosperity that they now enjoy. He also has given big business a "breather" and in his report stated that all new taxes would be ruled out, for business recovery has placed the government on a sufficiently firm financial basis. “On the whole,” said the President, “economic conditions were decidedly better for the fiscal year just closed than in the preceding year, and economic better than in 1933 and still better than in 1932.” So we have two conflicting pictures. Mr. Hearst paints a scene of gloom and despair if Mr. Rosenstock is left in office. The President gives us an optimistic report of the past and future.

Editor Daily Kansan. why must the student body tolerate further the pretense rule which governs the activity ticket so far as attaching it to the booklet? Each year we, the students, are assessed at least six dollars for activities. Undoubtedly a great amount of this goes for football. That in itself is all right. But why should we pay this hard earned money and not receive more nearly our money's worth? Why should we be made to sit in the stadium where we cannot see the football games? I dare say we are contributing as much if not more toward good athletics and toward paying for the players who come in. We seat the students where they can see the games and derive full satisfaction? Last year it was my privilege to play in the University band. We follows turned out every time for games and other activities' to put forth every effort to boost the team and to help furnish the necessary spirit. We followed had to pay to work. We did nothing less than work at every game and had to pay for the privilege. However, I for one, do not exactly resent giving my money to the University for I know that it all goes to promote better athletics, but I do feel that the student body, as a unit, could be given a better chance to get its money's worth. Why doesn't the administration change the present rule, or at least offer some explanation for it.

The meeting of the year will be Thursday from 7 to 8 o'clock. The address is 140 E. 65th Street, New York, NY 10024. Throughout their stay at the Poma College Laboratory, the University group conducted a wholesome rivalry with the Poma College students, with the result that the University group led them in an international contest with who with Dr. Baungartner and H. A. Edinger, instructed the classes, spoke highly of the fine scholarship and good sportsmanship of the University group, and Dr. Baungartner himself said that the students made up one of the "finest co-operative groups" he had ever ENGINEERING COUNCIL MEETING. Register meeting of the Engineering Council will be held at 8:10 p.m. on Friday, November 29. Gordon Miller, Manager Arising at four o'clock in the morning for class meetings on the seashore was perhaps the most unusual phase of the work of the nine students who accompanied Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, professor of marine biology at Seaside Biological Laboratory at Laguna Beach, Calif., this summer. The four o'clock classes were necessary for the group which was doing advanced work in biology and scientific research because at that time they had little opportunity to study the animal life. "The seashore is often called the cradle of animal life," Baumbartner says, "and is by far the richest place for study of that nature." For that reason students who are majoring in biology or working for a degree in the subject must be able to handle of that type of study even if it happens they are not required to do so. KU KU MEETING; There will be a Ku Ku meeting at 10:30 tonight at the council room, Memorial Union building. One hundred per cent attendance is necessary. Eidre Rice. Secretary. This was 'the first time in twenty years that Dr. Baugmartner has sponsored such a group of students, and it was also the first time that any such group could have arrived. Prior to the war Dr. Baugmartner frequently made such trips, but at that time the groups traveled by train and into laboratories further north on the coast.

Supper will be served at Myers Hall and must be secured by 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Russell Young, Secretary-Treasurer. Leaving here June 24 in three cars the nine students and Dr. Baumpartner returned the last week in August after what amounted to eight and a half weeks of interesting travel and study, and they were not only able to apply on their records at the University. The group obtained additional educational value when they visited the Carlsbad Cavers, Petrified Forests, the Carlsbad Badlands, Valley, General Grant and Sequoia Big Tree Parks. They returned by way of Lake Tahoe, Salt Lake and Etses Park Nancy Calhoun. and en route also visited eight college and university campuses. Those taking the trip with Dr. Bumgarner were Dr. Clara Hairy, now of Baker, Edith Chishau of Lawrence High School, Katherine Tagger of Topena Valley High School, J. R. Burtenfell, Murphy, J. R. Battenfell, and Euther Farney, now in the University of Kansas, and Arnold Voth and Lawrenz Zuecher of Bethel College. Seven college graduates were at PUG Sound and southern California, were represented at the station. ROCK - - - CHALKLETS Conducted by J. M. "K. U. Liberals in Blast" was the Kansas City star headline. Of course, the story included Thursday as the temperature dropped 30 degrees and a north wind came up. Students now have a study job for the year. We often wondered; now we know, Libel is so named because one is libel to be sued when defamatory statements are made. "G. O. P.

How can we expect to have a decline in automobile thefts and the selling of stolen parts when the University has a course in "fencing." The professor used the word "calmum" and the sophomore laughed and laughed because he knew darn well that that was a baking powder.

Fall Suits from $19.50 and up What's inside? The woman who started out to fill her library only with books with red bindings, or books whose names suggest red—"Red Pepper Burns," "The Song of the Cardinal," "The Scarlet Letter"—made a whim the basis of her choice. She wasn't particularly interested in the merits of those books. Her aim was to fill up space. Yet when you buy books, you are concerned with what's inside them. And when you buy a flashlight, a refrigerator, a radio—you want wiser than whimsy buys. You want to know the inside goodness of those products, know it before you buy them, be persuaded by what's inside. You may hesitate between two flashlights. You can't tell by the appearance which is good, or which is better. Advertisements could tell you. They point out the underneathness of a product. The truths you can see, and the truths you can't see. The amount and strength of service to expect of what you see. Not just a refrigerator—but how long the ice lakes in it, how it makes lettuce crisp. But not only the now inside merits, but the future inside merits. It's these unseen nows and futures that make a product worth its price. Read the advertisements. Then you can know a product to its center—to its last chapter of service—before you buy. Knowing the advertisements habitually means always strength-buys Read advertising often
