FRIDAY, APRIL 5.1935 "You don't want to be cannon fodder for the next war," a typical Hertzerized expression and still these are the words used in a petition that has been circulated in an effort to get the boys and girls out for the Peace Strike. "CANNON FODDER" Of course the logical deduction from such a statement is that unless you want to be "cannon fodder" for the next war you will sign the petition to parade the campus. There are many who did not sign that petition and who will not parade in the peace movement who, like the paraders, do not want to be "cannon fodder" for the next war. The fact is that parading and not wanting to be cannon fodder have no connection. What about the citizen who is so love loving that he does not even care to participate in a peace strike? The cause of the peace strikers must not be so secure in their own minds when they feel the necessity of passing petitions to find who will strike. Perhaps the hour is wrong; maybe the crowd would be larger if more classes could be "cut." TO THE NEW OFFICERS Whether platform promises are to be kept is a matter largely left in the hands of the candidates who promised to carry them out. The Kansan hopes to see that the public gets what it voted for. The public hopes to be shown, now that election is over, that the platform for which it voted was not merely erected as a vote-catcher, but that it really meant something, and that the officers who as candidates pledged themselves to uphold that platform were not making those promises for electioneering purposes merely. ECONOMIZE ON PUBLICITY The sluggish speed with which the government functions has merited for it a new role. Evelyn John St. Loe Strachey, "radical" British author and lecturer, termed the federal government's tardy action in an attempt to deport him from the United States two weeks before his volontary return "my best press agent." Some may doubt the conservatism of a government which has the reputation of a publicity man. Even the staunch individual who is capable of giving radical lectures and attracting audiences to them, could not be placed in the same category as a government run as a publicity agency. Mr. Strachey is accused of inciting agitation to overthrow American institutions, during his three months lecture tour in this country. However, in a letter to Scribner's readers he has revised this accusation. Mr. Strachey denounces the generality of the term "American institutions," and substitutes the Economic institution. Furthermore, the famous Englishman condemns not only the American economic system, but the economic system of the whole world. Probably the condition of the economic system is more chronic than we realize if the government can no longer stand constructive criticism concerning its problems and symptoms. We Polish Apples Editor's note: The Kanan will present in this column thumbnail sketches of the members of the faculty. E. F. Engel Prof. Elmer Franklin Engel has taught German to more than 5,000 students since he came to the University in 1892 as assistant professor. His first training was received at Sterling high school, where he two years later in 1893. After teaching two years in the university in 1886, and later in 1887-88 taught in the Salina high school. It was in 1882 that he received his degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University. He has his master's degree from Harvard and attended Mamaroneck University, in Germany, in 1910. He then attended the Ph.D. He was later in attendance at Chicago University. The Professor says his hobbies are raising a family, gardening and flowers, and travel. He has made three trips to Europe including a year's residence in Germany, with his wife and six children, all of whom are graduates of the University of Kansas, and two of whom hold master's degrees from the University, also. Mr. Engel has no patience with card games, and prefers a hoce handle to a golf club. "I would rather than hold such an office he saves." He is the author of "The Laboratory Method of Beginning German," consisting of a handbook of materials and a laboratory notebook. These were the adopted texts in Kansas high schools for five years. He has also published a number of articles on this method, which appeared in the "Modern Language Journal." CAMPUS OPINION Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kuanan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Con- Editor Daily Kansan: Infractions of good taste and decency are not to be condoned in an walk of life. It therefore become doubly desirable that students of Kansas University should so carry themselves that reproof cannot be hosed away that reproof there is a time and a place in a event that conduct is demanded more than at some other time or place, it is in our universities and colleges. Considerable publicity has been given the coming "Peace Strike." This strike, like all other such demonstrations, can only serve to show that the students have taken a step backward in their understanding of unbecoming any university student. Some members of the student body take themselves entirely too seriously on occasion. We admit that there is a It would be a mighty good thing if the students would set an example for fine conduct during this crisis. And if any should stray from the pathway of good taste and decency, they should be properly disciplined. possibility of another war; that everything that can be done to prevent war is being done. But a student strike for peace would not be beneficial nor would it effect in any manner the outcome of world affairs. Much unjust criticism has been flung at those individuals who are advocating the Peace Movement. They are branded as radicals, socialists, red, and many other vague and unjustified terms. The popular conception is that Editor Daily Kansan: Engineering Students Organize Club To Foster Further Aviation Interest OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXXII Notices due at Chancellor's office at 3 p.m., preceding regular publication days and 11.19 p.m. Saturday for Sunday issues. No.129 Students in the School of Engineering and Architecture have "gone to work" on aviation this semester. Engineers of the future, they figure, will be forced to know as much about the mechanics of flight as the engineer of today must know of the mechanics of automobiles, and a group of them in particular are making a start in that direction. This study is an extra-curricular activity, and an Aero Cub has been formed to carry it on. The officers are Loren Fink, e37, front; Mack Lucas, e36, vice-president; and Gordon Guise, e37, secret. The club is The Girls Reserve training course, scheduled in the K Book for this weekend, will be held on May 3, 4, and 5. EDNA TURRELL, Chairman. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSER By Arch Oliver, sn Physical Education classes will change from first to second half semester Monday, April 8. F. C. ALLEN. PHYSICAL EDUCATION CLASSES: a student organization allogether and faculty members act only as advisers This is not the first aeronautical activity on the Hill. Seven years ago a glider club was formed; a glider constructed, and flights were made. Courses in aerodynamics—the study of the forces of flight—were offered, and a wind tunnel was built underneath the west stadium to serve as a laboratory. Now a two-semester course in aerodynamics is offered. The early glider club became inactive, but early this semester interest was again manifested in an organization for the study of aviation, and the Aero Club resulted. For practical purposes, the members are divided into Furthermore, when that Major General happens to be none other than the chairman of the board of the Indian corporation the injury is quite evident. they intend to raise flags, start riofs and yell. "Down with capitalism." Being a passenger with Major General Thomas Q. Ashburn under such circumstances, a reporter asked him about the future of the Inland Waterways. On this point, General Ashburn declared, first that co-ordination of the nation's transportation system is inevitable, to the reduce the charges for transportation services to a point in line with the marginal costs of operations, and thus to create the high costs caused by high fixed charges and duplication of facilities. Second, that Inland Waterways will become an integral part of our coordinated transportation system, providing low cost services for interior cities, enabling them to compete on an equitable basis with seacoast and lake cities. Many of the student critics merely shrug their shoulders and say "Aw, what good will it do anyway?" It isn't the purpose of the Peace Movement to effect any immediate good. They wish to show the country their thoughts and wishes. They want to make the political leaders of the country realize that youth is deed against war. This cannot be accomplished by sitting back and philosophising; some sort of physical manifestation of their feelings must be apparent. The Peace Movement is their medium of expression. Now is the time to make known to the world the convictions of youth regarding world peace. Is it radicalism because youth does not wish to die? Can it be communism if youth refuses to mere pawn in the great "Chess Game?" While it is not uncommon for University students returns from Kansas City via the "Streamliner" to have to ride in the baggage car because of the crowded condition of the train, it is somewhat unusual when a Major General of the United States army is forced to travel in this style. Their plan is a sensible one. College students have heard of the horror of the World War from their very childhood. It has made a deep impression on them, and this, coupled with their enlightened study in the fields of history, social sciences, political science and psychology, has made them reclaim the futility of war. They fail to see that being humanity to send forth its youth is a task for them. For it is the youth of the countries who bear the brunt of the conflicts. Through countless generations the so-called older and wiser men have sat back and taken advantage of the experience and easeness of youth. There will be a meeting of Rhadamani in the Green Room Sunday, April 7. Bring a poem. NORMAN JACOBSHAGEN, President. The college man of today, in General Ashburn's opinion, has as great opportunities as ever before. In his own field, and in the field of transportation as a whole, great developments will take place where those who have the ability and the willingness to work hard It is not an easy future but it does have a future. Everyone laughed when we took over the controls of an airplane at the altitude of 5,000 feet, but after a few minutes they were flying them up by hung on at what we said and said. Waterway Head Rides Streamliner, But With Baggage M. N.H. According to one person, what this campus needs is a sidewalk north of the journalism building and a good six-inch rain. groups; these groups will study engines, airplane design and construction, navigation, and research work in the wind tunnel. Property now owned by the club or at its disposal for use are three engines—a Pratt - Whitney Hornet, a Kninner, and a war time Liberty—an old army airplane, a glider, and a Naval aircraft which is housed in the wind tunnel. To simplify and make more accurate the study of wind forces on model planes or their parts, the National Physical Laboratory balance was designed and constructed. All work was done by students in Fowler shops, and the total cost amounted to about $2,000. If purchased commercially, the balance would have cost between $8,000 and $15,000. This wind tunnel is one of the few in the country. It is 63 feet long, and five feet wide at the testing room, and two 20 feet above the ground. A 75-horsepower electric motor, turning a four bladed wooden propeller, furries upwards through the air of the other wind tunnels in the United States are small ones, although the one at Langley Field, Va., will house a regular plane.

PHONE 72 NOW and leave your order for one of our CORSAGES beautifully arranged from our fresh cut--tested, the wing is inserted in the tip of the balance that projects into the tunnel proper. Weights are then fastened to a lever in the testing room below. The motor is turned on. If not enough weights are placed on the lever, a green light shows to indicate that more weights are needed to balance the force applied. If too many weights are placed on the lever, the red light places the student lights. If no lights are placed, the students know that the exact essential amount of weight is on the lever.

The correct streamlining of fuselages or the air resistance of landing gear can also be tested.
