PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1935 University Daily Kansa Official Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS EDITOR-IN.CHIEF ___ WESLEY GORDON --runs part of the refrain to a spring song to which we danced a thousand years ago in the persons of our ancestors, yes, and perhaps long before that. Awakened for the past three mornings by the proud song of cardinal and robin, or fulled in the twilight zone between sleep and full consciousness, we feel the immemorial gladness of the early morning bird. Whether Angles, Saxons, or Jutes; Irish, Danish, or English, the people who sang the "cuckoo" song knew the feel of spring in its undiminished primal sweetness. MANAGING EDITOR ...

TUESDAY, MARCH 5. 1931 THAT CERTAIN FEELING Sumer is icumen in Lud sing cuckoo— "Sing cuckoo," it goes, and sounds a bit cuckoo besides, to the modern ear intent on ticker tape or the soporific of Professor Repress. But you can't deny the sense of reawakening now that elbuds, pussy willow catkins, and all flowers are stretchingly yearning for the sun and air, pushing up and out to a new expression for themselves. And we too, part and every cell of nature, become revitalized with the soft air of spring. The other signs are kites, marbles, shirts open at the neck, a refreshed green more brilliant at the grass ends. Even the English sparrow, calumniated and overlooked all year, sounds encouragingly like a welcome harbinger of springtime. Iris, tulip, and jonquil stretch anew, anxious to be rid of winter inactivity and sleep. Let us admit the whole thing as a joyous yearly adventure: "Luck sucked cooo," as we said in the voices of our ancestors several thousands of years ago. And it still holds, will always hold. The Thoughtful Freshman commenting on the success of the expose of the W.S.G.A. and the M. S.C. now suggests an expose of the Kansan. LET'S TRY IT Will the W.S.G.A. election put in a new system of government for women on the Hill, or will it merely point out mistakes so that the system may profit by this election and better itself for the next? After all that has been said in the effort to improve women's politics, support should be given this projected improvement. When this election is over if the women elected are really chosen on individual merit then a desirable step will have been taken. If the balance falls the other way and combines persist as badly ever, then it will be known that there is no use in trying to follow that system and some other can then be tried. The best way to see if the women have devised a better plan is for everyone to get out and vote, not as the house they live in wants them to vote, but for the women they know to be best fitted for the job. After all, the clubs, honorary organizations, church sororities and the numerous other organizations on the Hill are supposed to work to make students better acquainted with each other. In these societies should be a sufficient number of women who are represented on the ballots for the voter to choose one they think will be good. So, putting aside all personal prejudices that have been formulated for either side of this question, everyone should vote and help the election to show whether the new plan will succeed. We'd like to ask the person or persons who believe in the slogan that "it's the woman who pays," why a girl never takes a pocket book with her when she goes out on a date? TULSA AWAKENS "Make Tulsa a good city for youth" is the slogan of the Tulsa Tribune. This slogan has failed in the past few months in the eyes of the world, and probably for months before that when only very few persons knew about it. Something big, either good or bad, must happen before a city awakens to the fact that some change is needed. Something big has happened in Tulsa. Some of its citizens recently started out to see what they could see at night in and around the city. The first place they found was a dance hall, with rooms to rent above, and a bar in front. Many boys and girls of barely fourteen were dancing. These same children the next day would be too sleepy to attend their school classes. But the greatest evil lurking in Tulsa is the fact that a great many of this class of children are not attending school. They became tired of it and stopped of their own decision. Tulsa has no attendance officers; so the children quit school, get into some mischief, then into some serious trouble, and finally end up in the juvenile courts, and, as in the last great example, in the penitentiary. Tulsa now wants better city officials so that there may be better juvenile court supervision. Their good ideas might well have come earlier. COMMENTS -By the Editor We should have left this one for the Rock Chalklets editor, but we think it deserves editorial comment: it seems to us that there is entirely too much hand holding on our campus. We will admit that spring is upon us, and that students will need a lot of it’s the season for all of that stuff—but darn it—oh well, just darn it. Mr Franklin D. Roosevelt gives advice to the Camp Fire girls, "Don't allow yourself ever to be a herd of sheep who follow without knowing where we are and that comes from the wife of the president who was elected on a landslide. Until the news was flashed that an Airdale pup at Pittsburg, Kan, could play好 bridge by barking and otherwise kibitzing the game, there were thousands of players who would have sworn the game was divided more or less evenly between setters and blood-hounds.“Doc” Hartley in Starbeams. Cigarette smoking, once a vice of dens of iniquity, has become a social pastime in the circle of the 400. A few years ago the definition of a cigarette was: A small roll of tobacco with a fool on one end and a fire on the other. Now a cigarette is usually pictured as a woman on one end and advertising on the other—Carl Whitson in Winfield Courier. ROCK --- CHALKLETS Conducted by R. J. B.

Some students have the idea that K.U. and other schools merely play the athletes who were stars in high school. This is not true. Many a star has been developed in college who never even played football before entering college DAVID OYOSHA. When the fundamentals are mastered football becomes a game of skill and no merely the brutal game that one think The University Women's Club meets on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Myers hall.

National League pitchers in the future can now sing that old song: "Along came Ruth." The Tau Sigma girls can dance on the Auditorium stage now with perfect safety. Shawn and his dancers removed the splinters in that exquisite manner formerly known only to small boys. When they have an earthquake in California it isn't news, but a mild dust storm in Kansas merits an 8-column streamer. Sort of proving that other people's hard luck is more important than your own. "Too many cooks may spoil the broth" but a fraternity never has any broth good enough to spoil. Coach Lindsay plans to have six weeks training of football this spring starting March 4. All former high school athletes and all students who are physically active who have a coach or football staff are urged to report at the first practice. After sitting in the gallery of the House of Representatives in Toppeks and listening to the legislatures legislate we've come to the conclusion that the page boys are the only ones who are busy. Spring football is devoted primarily to teaching the fundamentals of football to the players. It is essential that players know the fundamentals in order to get the best results out of their play. In spring football anyone can report and these fundamentals may be useful, but they say will learn their ability and will save them the trouble of trying to "break in" at that late time. CAMPUS OPINION The question enters my mind, "Does K.U. deserve to have a winning football team when you no more support or material than this comes out for Coach Lindsay to work with and build a team of?" Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kansas. Articles over 200 words in length are excluded and subject to additional contributions on any subject are invited. Last week Missouri had a turnout 175 men for the first spring football call issued by Don Faurot, the new football coach at M. Last week Ad Lindsay issued a similar call for a meeting of all those interested in spring football training and only 36 men reported. Editor Daily Kansan: it to be. For example, one of the greatest guards of all times was a Notre Dame star, Bert Metzger, who weighed only 158 pounds and was ranked All-American his senior year. Also, the defensive back that Kansas has ever had weighed only about 120 pounds—Tommy Johnson. Weight does not mean everything. A smart little man is much better than a slow big man. I believe that every boy in school who has the time and normal ability should report for spring football so that he started for a championship next year. Everyone is on an equal basis in spring football. It is the time for men to learn football. J.H.M. Editor Daily Kansan: After reading the editorial in Friday's Kansan, I am wondering just what the writer was inferring by his generality of "hydrant walkers" as a problem of the new so-called "party." It seems that the Kansan's attack is a little premature in that the whole program of the Progressive Student Government League has not yet been placed in the hands of the students. If they do know something more about the student body, why don't they let the whole student body, which is now awaiting the full program, in on the little secrets? The Kanas seem quite inconsistent on its better student government drives and the attitude of the editorial that they have had in office, ing. It was pointed out in the recent election of publisher for the Daily sheet that it would be the duty of that person to form one line of policy for it, but Mr. Kanas seemed to appear that someone was off duty. However, this is not an attack on any one person, but the generalities in which the Kanas editor wrote, make me wonder if his question of all parties may not turn out like the proposed WSGA clean-up that was played up with great headlines and yet about amounted to naught. Until the whole program of the League has been set forth, the attack that any group may make upon it is rather out of place. It reminds me of a batter who takes a healthy swing at a ball the pitcher has never thrown. Editor's Note: The Kanans does not hold information back from its readers. The paper does feel that until the Progressive Student League states clearly and fully what part it intends to play in student politics it must necessarily include the new organization. When the new organization proves that it is working under more lofty ideals than other parties, the Kanans may assume some other attitude.

Phillip COME AND GET IT, by Edna Ferber (Doubleday Doran) Description, characterization, local color—all are "great stuff."

LITTLE ORVIE by Booth Tarkington (Doubleday Doran) More on the "Seventeen" type that new recent Tarkington novel, little Orhe Stone, seven years old, encounters a teenager who was essentially untouched by the world. Beginning his seventh year as a shy little boy, he suddenly emerges, through the example of "little Marie from Kansas City," whom he detests, into a show off and the neighborhood terror. It's a study in the circumstantial evidence that continues a seven-week, often well-meaning, in the eyes of his adults. Tarketing gets American everyday life down as no one else can do it. His novels are the unconscious humorous side of us all. "Little Orville" is not his best, but it is a big addition to his collection. If you are interested, girls, in seeing yourselves mirrored, read "Claire Amble," his book of four or two years back.
