WEDNESDAY. APRIL 17. 1935
1935 RELAYS
The Kansan today is dedicated to the Relays. All of us who have helped finance this outstanding athletic event, by our activity tickets, ought to feel a great pride that our University brings together in clean competition the best amateur athletes of the Middle West.
Certainly no student, merely because he cannot attend the meet, will be likely to resent his large share in financing the Relays.
A DRESS-UP OCCASION
New Easter bonnets will spring out in all their splendor this coming Easter morn when the fair lassies go to their respective churches to "show off" the new wardrobe. And the gents in the dashing new suits of gabardine, grey, tan, will make a dazzling picture for the lassies to look upon.
But the boys! Several years ago they were grumbling every Easter morning because they had to wash their ears and dress up in their best to go to church. Then they must sit through those "awful" sermons. It was much more fun to watch a fly creep up the back of the neck of the person in front of them. But today it is more than fun to go to church dressed up in their best and at least pretend to like the sermon, although they are really watching how a certain young damsel looks today.
After all, Easter is just a fashion display. Even since one can remember there was the new organza, silk, satin dress to don carefully on Easter morn. Then there were the new shoes, the bright sashes, and the soft filmy hose that one had to treat so carefully.
Morgenthu assures us, "The financial jum- jam has been broken." We think that's fine, but we have been broken so long we almost forgot about the financial jam.
IN ALL FAIRNESS
The many students and faculty members on our campus who didn't participate in the peace strike last Friday, fearing they would be identified with those who thought the strike method proper, deserve a word in their defense.
They were not acting "narrowly" nor were they "unwilling to listen to reason." They want peace as ardently as any striker, but feel that strikes will accomplish nothing. They refused to attend the strike, because others seeing them there might too easily conclude that they sympathized with the strikers.
The common objective of all who work for peace is admitted. What we need now is a way to join our efforts in some effective activity that will get results.
The Poet's Corner

The old lilac hedge still stands stauncl
and strong;

THE HEDGE
In summer it straggles and sprangles along.
In winter it catches the dead leaves and snow.
Its branches stringed harps to the fierce winds that blow;
But in April its fragrance is heaven sweet.
And its blooms fairer pictures than most eyes c'er greet
How wondrous like humans these lilac trees grow.
The straight and the crooked, the quick and the slow.
The smooth and the gnarled ones, the sturdv, the weak.
Some hugging the shadow, some sunshine to seek
But when duty and law and occasion consire
Both blacs and humans achieve heart's desire.
Then here's to The Hedge! May its blooms never fail,
May it round out in vigor its century tale.
Bringing joy to the hearts of the freshmen so gay.
And thoughts poignant sweet to old grads far away;
From all the old days there's no object more dear.
Binding Then to the Now, linking There to the Here.
And should I be so happy, when time comes for rest.
To be chosen and guided to realms of the blest.
When earth winters pass in the change of the years,
And with Springtime comes April, half laugh, half tears.
hair daughter, hair tears.
From Heaven I'll surely lean over
the edge.
To perchance catch a glimpse of the old lilac hedge.

Editor Daily Kansan:
In a desperate attempt either to make students realize the folly of war, or to disrupt the administration of the University, about a half dozen students called a peace strike. But after it was all over one could find no real gain in disturbance. True, the latter is what John Field made students think of those other students back in 1917 who now lie dead.
But for all the good the actual strike did the crosses would have been more effective alone. Curiosity seekers and news reporters filled about seven-eighths of the crowd in front of Fowler Shops. And when one connects a strike up with peace a publicity stunt is thought of and one wonders if publicity was all the strike leaders were seeking.
It seems that students would realize that they don't have to make a disturbance to have peace. War, after all, is caused by the disturbance of peace.

Is our library a public parlor and a place for bull sessions or is it a place for quiet study and research?
Editor Daily Kansan;
Learn to Dance--of acting like a bunch of R.B.I.'s (Rattle-Brained Idiots)?
Are the college students responsible enough to care for themselves in a manner beffiting college students or should they have an iron hand over them? A question there was a great deal of argument on the matter, but the age of the students. The question was whether the students were old enough — both mentally and physically—to be called university students. The general impression I get from you students is that the argument and the really capable ones don't. Then why, don't you set like it instead

GIRL RESERVE TRAINING COURSE:

Vol. XXXXII
Every student on the campus, even those who are ringleaders in the noise and tommy-rot, have gone to the library wishing to find an hour or two of good quiet study only to find that most of the tables are occupied with some group talking about what Mary said that Jane said or how much gin the bathtub at the rooming house will hold. What are we going to do about it? When the state goes to a great deal of expense to see the library, it is equipped with material for study, we at least should see that the building is kept quiet.
If some of the older generation judging us from our library conduct call us a bunch of young nuts that haven't sense enough to pound sand in a rat-hole, for Pete's sake be man enough not to be offended and call them a bunch of old fossils that have not been to college. You forget that most of them have seen some share of the world. If you can't take it on the button, for gosh sakes do something about it and act like college students. G.E.O.

I suppose that you punkts that rush into the library three days before finals in order to make the grade, and, when you want some quiet place for study, raise the roof because someone is talking. Well, it's your fault; if you would check on yourself, the times you go there laughing, talking and creating a general disturbance, you might not holler no loudly.
After reading a piece of writing of someone who is certainly afflicted with the worst and most deadly type of "Spring Fever" which was printed in Sunday's paper under the title of "To a Friend," I felt that I just had to write you. This certainly must have been written by a Freshman affected with the first signs of Easter love. I have below reproduced a bit from the works of a well-known poet; and I sincerely hope you will publish it soon so that
I don't know of a thing that can be done about it if we aren't old enough to comply with rules which would benefit us.
To The Kansan:
Most Honorable Sirs:
The poem W.G.M. submitted was Lord Byron's "To Woman" and is truly a choice morrel, but we did not have much space today and couldn't print it. We feel that the correspondent who sent in "To A Friend" should hear of W.G.M.'s dislike. This department is unbiased—si me 'fazierender'.
the poor love-sick Freshman might be saved before it is too late.—W.G.M.
There will be a meeting of Rhadamanthi in the Green Room Sunday, April 7. Bring a poem—Official University Bulletin.
Oh here we go a poeming,
Oh here we go a roaring,
I'm going to Rhadamthani,
I'm going Sundanmali.
For though I not invited,
I'm not a little slighted
Because I am a poet
Although they do not know it

You know how you've been feeling . . . you're irritable . . . flabby . . . dyspestic . . . but you're not sick. It's merely that you need a change of clothes with your change of climate. You need to step out of that model T complex and sit behind the wheel of a brand new model U.
Here are the new Easter clothes you need . . . they're more necessary than sulphur and molasses . . . and almost as reasonable.
