THE THREE EASTERS
Of course, our parents would laugh to hear us say we think we're getting a bit older. What really happens is just that we now have a different sort of fun at Easter; we now have to do the night-before work and see that nieces and nephews go full asleep before the nests are built. We are beginning to understand some of the frolic and pleasure of the old folks, or at least the older folks.
We saw as many rabbits, fancy Easter eggs, and new outfits for the girls as ever before, but still it wasn't like Easter when we did the egg chasing and wondered how on earth the old bunny remembered us. This time, through the youngish eyes of college students, we saw little Betty or Jim next door and how they scampered and shrieked at the discovery of whole nests full of sweets.
In a few years we may not look on the Easter celebration with our present wonderment. By then a lot of us will have our own kids to look out for and perhaps all my mystery of the bunny will have disappeared. Then we can have a swime time working up the surprises, and giving the inevitable antidotes when daughter dear chucks herself full of chocolate rabbits. Then we will have completed the cycle, and may know the real joy of the whole Easter season as a reawakening of omnipotent life.
BUT—
HOPE IS GREAT
BUT
Reading widely in the metropolitan press, one notices their insistence that colleges and other communities of young people adopt "the long view" toward their personal problems. We are cautioned not to hurry along the sure progress of humanity as it struggles to reach perfection.
Now this is all very fine, and indeed it sounds very well. But—
The college student has recently been told through the news accounts that the federal machinery is perfecting plans to "absorb some of the college graduates coming out of school this June who might be unable to find work otherwise." So we should join the CCC with a major in chemistry or an A.M. in economics, and calmly set-
be down to contemplating the sure progress of humanity.
The college student reads that there are from ten to twenty million unemployed, and perhaps one in six benefiting from relief. And are these people also to achieve a "balanced perspective of history" while they see others working, unhappy, prosperous?
"The college student reads "there is an enormous unified consumer demand" and agrees absolutely when he recalls his wardrobe, his teeth, and his diet. Glimcing down the social scale to those who can't think of coming to college, he is sure of the consumer demand. Does he suppose all these potential consumers will take "a backward glance over the prolonged yet achieving struggle of mankind?" Where, for instance, will these consumers get the books one needs to have such a backward view?
In short, the long view we are cautioned to take does lend hope; but that is about all it does lend.

Editor's note. The Kauzens will present in this column thumb-bail sketches of the members of the faculty.
--with the assistance of a CSEP student, Professor Brown is making a study of the Lawrence traffic ordinance. He is comparing it to the "Model Traffic Ordinance" prepared by the 1933 National Conference on Street and Highway Safety. The National Conference, headed at present by Daniel C. Roper, Secretary of Commerce, corrections of the work of all trafficians in Lawrence, will examine the reason why. When the CSEP project is completed, Professor Brown will be able to show at a glance how much variation exists between the Lawrence ordinance and the model. With this information available, he hopes to bring about a revision of the local traffic law, enacted in 1928. Uniformity in traffic laws throughout the country, one of the reasons for the revision, will reduce congestion and accidents greatly, particularly in cities through which main highways pass.
"Why no. I haven't been teaching for 50 years," Dr. Frank Hodder declared, as he took up a pencil and began to figure. "It is 50 years, though. I had not thought of it. Wonder who dug that out!"
Professor Hodder is head of the department of history at the University and has been teaching here for 45 years. This spring semester will complete his 50th year in the teaching profession. The "Who's Who in America" for 1934-25 includes Dr. Hodder's name for his distinguished services in teaching and r-search work.
Dr. Hodder received his Ph.D. degree in 1893 at the University of Michigan. He studied at Göttingen and Freiburg at Braden in 1890-91. He began his teaching career as principal of his home town high school in 1883 at Aurora, Il. At University he was an instructor and assistant professor of history and economics in 1855-90. He came to the University of Kansas in 1891 as professor of American history; and since 1908 he has been head of the history department.
During a leave of absence from the University in 1928-29, Doctor Hodder was a visiting professor at Cornell University. He has lectured in the summer sessions at the universities of Chicago, California, Washington, Northwestern, and Cornell.
"My greatest pleasure has been in doing research problems, and one might call that my hobby." Dr. Hodder explained. He was most interstitial when he talked about the Nebraska bill, in which he proved that the bill was not passed for political reasons, as it is generally thought, but waspassed for railroad purposes. His research on the Kansas-Nebraska bill is also his most important achievement, in order of his interest was the Dred-Scott decision.
Dr. and Mrs. Hodder have motored through Canada and all of the states, with the exception of the southern states, during his summer vacations. "I used to do a little fishhawking," he said. I caught enough like trout for our own use, but I have no big 'fish stories." Doctor Hodder concluded.

Douglas County Safety Council Acts To Prevent Automobile Accidents
By Edward Barnett, c37
Auto accidents have killed 2,982 people in Kansas in five years, 1929 to 1933. And the preliminary reports on 1934 indicate a marked increase over the preceding year.
Conditions in Kansas are typical of the whole nation. Auto deaths in the United States during 1923 and 1924 exacerbated the great casualties during the World War II.
Each month, on the other hand, auto manufacturers announce new and speedier products. National and state governments spend huge sums for faster highways. What is the answer? Speed is a catchword and a watchword. As speed potentials rise, the fatality rate constantly increases.
Alarmed at this situation Governor All M. Landon called a conference last fall to work out a state highway safety program. Four Lawrence men attended the meeting. They were F. L. Brown, head of the department of applied medicine; E. D. Spanking; E. G. Pringle, chief of police; and J. T. Dunkley, Douglas county sheriff. Shortly thereafter these four organized the Douglas County Safety Council and elected Professor Brown president. Another University man, A. Russell, professor of civil engineering, became secretary of the council.
Safety posters erected by the council have attracted wide attention. Lawrence firemen constructed the poster boards during leisure hours, and the National Safety Council, with which the local organization is affiliated, sends new illustrated posters each month. A number of these are on the University campus. Already Professor Lawrence has taught at the Lawrence and in the immediate rural territory, and plans to put up an additional 15 soon.
The new organization set to work immediately. Professor Brown outlined a program in which he divided the activities of the council among four committees. These committees duly appointed, deal with safety work in rural areas, safety education in schools and colleges, improvement of traffic conditions, and safety education of the general public. The council's work came from interested business men, insurance agencies, and private individuals.
The Douglas county council is emphasizing safety work in the public schools; it believes that the education of school children in safety matters can become a powerful factor in preventing accidents. Public school memberships in the National Safety Council provide a monthly educational curriculum for students in culture films, magazines, illustrated calendars, posters and outlines for safety lessons. The Lawnware school system has five memberships. Each provides for a 10-room school so that practically every child in Lawrence below high school age benefits from this work.

Although the Douglas County Safety Council aims to prevent accidents of every type, its work is concentrated on traffic accidents, because these are at once the most numerous and the most readily prevented. Industrial safety organizations have worked for years to prevent occupational accidents, and have reduced industrial deaths and injuries to a minimum.
Accidents in the home kill almost as many persons each year as do accidents on streets and highways. But little can be done to prevent such failures, beyond urging people to be careful. "If a housewife drops a banana peel on the basement steps," says Professor Brown. "and the husband wife hurries back with his neck, you hardly can prosecute the women, even though her carelessness is every bit as criminal as that of a reckless driver."

two members of Steel Key, engineering society, prepared a safety display in the windows of the Douglas County Republican, 1005 Massachusetts. It showed numerous causes of accidents, such as passing on bills and curves, carelessness at grade crossings, intersections, and driveways, and "hanging." Gratified by its evident success, Professor Brown is working on a plan for continuous exhibits, and will change their location at intervals. The new exhibits, the first of which he expects to exhibit in a short period on a larger scale than the original one, and will depict only a few hazardous situations. Each new exhibit will show causes of accidents not illustrated before.

The Douglas County Safety Council is setting an example for other organizations of its type, and the national council has commended it for its activities. "Although we can't point to any specific program that we've done," says "we feel sure that we are getting results, for we are using a system which is known to be successful."
