OUT OF THE PAST, INTO THE PRESENT
Traditions are those things of the past that are revered and retained until they become a heritage that is passed from one generation to the next.
The University of Kansas is, as all institutions of age should be, rich in traditions. Many of them might seem a little strange and idealistic to those entering the University this year. After a period of being a part of the University, these students will not take so lightly the ideals that these traditions offer. For they are ideals. They are the results of struggles unknown to us of today.
If one but thinks for a while on the background of the University and the manner in which it has gradually developed, part by part, he must surely feel proud that he is a cog in the great wheel of the University of Kansas. It is something to know that some day we will become alumni of a school so great as to be known all over the world. The University has been the background for innumerable people who have attained great prominence in all walks of life.
From a university of one department, with a faculty of three persons, the University has grown into an elaborate organization of schools, divisions, and departments, offering its students college training, professional training of university rank, and opportunity for graduate work and research.
The traditions of such an organization must be cherished and passed on so that all might share them with feelings of pride and respect.
Europe has her problems of races, language and age-old enmities, but Kansas has the never-ending disagreement involving North and South US40—Topeka State Journal.
A Montana man is under observation after having swallowed a silver dollar. Anybody with money in his possession is watched nowadays—Kansas City Kansan.
A college professor says a good poker player can successfully handle almost any sort of a job. "But what," asks the Salina Journal, "but what would a good poker player want with a job?"—Topeka Daily Capital.
YOUTH CONDEMNED
In a recent issue of Harper's monthly, Pearl Buck, noted author of several best selling books on the people and customs of China, politely calls college students spoiled brats. In her opinion we are sadly lacking in the "knowledge of life, of its depths and its heights, of the follies and the weaknesses of men and women, to which we are all liable, as well as of their glories and strengthts, which are possible for any soul resolute enough to achieve them."
It is just barely possible that Mrs. Buck, having lived so long in China, thinks like a Chinman. Bewailing the fact that we are spineless creatures and unworthy of rebellion so dear to her fighting heart, the article, although containing a few digressive gems of wisdom, dangerously comes close to being a farce.
No doubt Mrs. Buck is speaking of the representative college student, as she sees him. No doubt she has been all over the country and become acquainted with some American students. But is her acquaintance broad enough to warrant her conclusions?
Look around over our campus: Does life and living seem to be handed to the representative student on the proverbial platter? Isn't it true that the large majority of students are fighting for an education by partially and many times wholly supporting themselves? Can't it be called rebellion when we refuse to accept our environment and fight for an education? It is unfortunate that Mrs. Buck fails to take the typical college student up for her minute scrutiny. Her conclusions and statements would have been very much different had she taken the trouble to become acquainted with typical students, rather than the altogether too
Youth stands condemned by her; it is hoped for her own sake, that the qualities that have made her a discerning reader of the emotions of the Chinese peasants, will not continue to elude her.
evident superficial examination evinced by her article.
Campus Opinion
Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kavan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited.
Editor. Daily Kansan;
Puns, under modern conditions cover a wide latitude of usage. For instance, there are stapid puns, clever puns; pins made of the use of words of different meaning, or of the same meaning but different spelling. And then there are puns which may injure or insult. And those kind of puns are far better left unsaid.
A striking example of this latter variety, the injurious, if not insulted appeared in this morning's Korean, a book by Kim Ji-sun.
Because Negroes in general have been forced to accept the stigma placed upon working-men of all races because of peripause odor is no reason why an enlightened journalist of Mr. Roosevelt is not asked to notice in his pruning. It might even be excusable if he had used that pun in the privacy of his own personal friendships, rather than risk offending either Joe Louis, or more heavily, the hundred-dollar fine Negro who is one of those who are central to the university.
May 1 suggest that Mr. Woods in the future be a little more considerate of others' feelings, even when he needs "hot" material? Is stupidity a recommendation of a good columnist?
Sincerely, L. Wray Choate

"The Unmaking of a Russian" is the story of a young anarchist who not old enough to get himself killed at the front because of the stupidity and (or) indifference of the general staff of the Russian army under the Czar. His rebellion was a cadet in the naval academy. Escaping Russia when there was no longer a last stand to make, he joined the White Russian forces in their futile fight against the Bolshevik. Here again was thrilling and abortive resistance maintained by personal courage and, in many cases, certain because of lads' leadership.
Life continues to be a serious problem—and one in which the answers to questions of comfortable outlook still are unavailable—to the thinkers Julien Romain parades across the printed page.
Leaving the defeated White Russians when further fighting was useless, Wreden came to America. He is an unmade Russia. In his book it written an account of the first story in the raw and beautifully told. In it also is written the story of the fall of Russia and the causes thereof, of Russia fell because people like Wreden were in the first place. They were members of a class. Nowhere in his book or any other book by a Russian of his class written that period does one find sorrow for Russia, but not for fallen aristocracy of Russia. That's probably why it fell.
He has brought forth two more volumes of "Men of Good Will" under the title of "The World From Below," written by Alfred A. Knopf and published by Alfred A. Knopf.
Two books appear in this volume IV of the massive project. They are "The Lonely" and "The Provincial Interlude." Again many characters are outlined and made likeable. A complete index of characters of all the volumes
Romains merely carries on from the earlier books. But he carries on in an intriguing study—sometimes slightly tiresome as he gently probes the workings of mentality of various of his subjects—into the thinking classes of pre-war France. He seeks to prove nothing. He merely questions. Ask the average person what is the study of the problems of socialism, politics, church and even mortality, with which the average mind must wrestle in gaining an answer to life.

is furnished—an index running 22% pages, thus giving an idea of the imminency of the task Romain has selected to handle.
A convict's life as it is really is from day to day and his impressions of the reactions of his fellow prisoners form the theme of 'We Who Arrest About us' (1975).
The author of this narrative is a talented, educated man who spent 13 months under sentence of death in San Quentin prison, California, after which the Supreme Court unanimously reversed the trials court decision. He was sentenced to death in a hung jury. He wrote this narrative while awaiting a third trial.
The story, dispossessedly written, bides any bitterness the author may have. It is a vague indictment of the American prison system and various return move plans for incarcerated people for several years. Lamour's thesis is that the people are to blame for prisons not treating convicts like human beings. He pleads that prisons be taken out of politics, but it is when writing on this theme that he comes across his heart. He is at his best in recording prison life as he saw it from "condemned row."
The reader probably has recognized the author as David Lamson, the man whom the State of California convicted of murdering his wife in his home on the campus of Stanford University in May. 1933.
"War Tomorrow—Will we Keep Out?" is the first of a series of "Headline Books," issued by the Foreign Press Association, to the public by means of simple language and graphic charts of outstanding events and problems in the world of today. This is the best elementary unison that I have heard in my past and future, that we have seen.
