Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1935 WHY THE RELAYS COME DURING VACATION Those who have noticed their K-Books closely are wondering why the Kansas Relays were scheduled for the Saturday of Easter vacation, when many students will be away from the University. At first appearance it seems that the Athletic committee had no consideration for students in planning the Relays. But be assured that the committee had no intention of playing the students false. Circumstances make it impossible that the Relays be held at any other time. They come early now, and to set them ahead a week would be to run more risk of inclement weather. Moreover, the schedules of the various schools participating forestalls an earlier date. The Relays have always been set for a week before the Drake and Penn relays, and every four years the date causes them to be run during Easter vacation, even before there was an activity ticket, and they depended a great deal on student support for financial success. To set them ahead would be to compete with other relays and dual meets. The Drake and Penn relays are run on the next Saturday, and shortly after that the Eastern schedule starts. The Kansas Relays depend for their success on getting outstanding athletes from all parts of the country. It has therefore been necessary that they be scheduled for the present date. It is unfortunate, but it cannot be helped without running the risk of lowering the quality of the meets. MILD CRITICISM FOR ALL Those who heard S. K. Ratcliffe last Thursday night received what we might call an earful. From his authoritative position as a leading lecturer and journalist he spoke as one who understands a great many things, and his lecture, delivered in his impeccable English, was most interesting and educational. We heard things about which formerly we knew little, with the advantage of having them mentally predigested by one who knows whereof he speaks. He showed us how such things as the Hitler regime are possible. He told us how public opinion has changed since the days of our great war President, and made us pause to think of the meanings of such a change. He complimented us at times by referring to the position of our own great men in international affairs. And he rebuked us mildly in many ways. One of the rebukes came in the afternoon when he discussed Charles Lamb before the English department. His rebuke there included his own nation, and dealt with the "danger of losing the heritage of our language unless we continue to study the masters of the past." He accused present day writing of "general sloppiness of expression." He did it in the friendly but earnest sort of way that makes one "take it and like it. At his lecture in the evening on "Twenty Years After" his rebuke went to our national government for shirking its duty to the world by remaining out of the World Court. It was mild in nature, but nevertheless it was a definite rebuke. He placed emphasis on the fact that England and the United States must show the way toward intelligent democracy, and away from the policies of such men as Hitler and the condition that seem to make them necessary. His last rebuke came at a luncheon of Sigma Delta Chi on Friday, when the responsive journalists awaived words of disdom from his lips. He told them, mainly, that he could not understand why American newspaper men were constantly misquoting persons interviewed, and how the papers printed things he had never said. He has been astonished by the fact that reporters in this country never take down speeches in shorthand. Mr. Ratchiffe is an interesting person. A criticism from him should not go unnoticed. He had no personal axe to grind, and he tried to expound no doctrines. He respected the intelligence of his audience and was in no wise overbearing. It is a great privilege to hear a man of his caliber talk on subjects of major importance, and one hopes to hear him again. A Corner On Books By Mary Jule Shipman Current Best Sellers: current Best Sellers: Heaven's My Destiny Heaven's My Destination Thornton Wilder Franz Werfel The Lost Horizon James Hilton Whitby Rose Rome Alexander Woollett Skin Deep ... M. C. Phillips The American Diplomatic Game Darren and Brown THE SPY PARAMOUNT, by E. Phillips Owned by little Beverly and Co. Openerpent, tante Drake and Coy. Adventure on a large scale, which men will particularly like. Martin Fawnie, self-sufficient secret service man on the payroll of two countries and the confidence of five, arranges peace between the five great powers of Europe and the once-time political rival to be bia bride. It's very timely. What with the war scares it goes about, anyone like to have the whole thing arranged safely for the next fifty years or so. It's the stuff of which Tarzans are made; sure fire blood and thunder. It moves fast. Assassins spring from corners and young girls risk compromise to save their lifes' life. But it really is a good book. Its international background is interesting. Identify the leaders, if you can. Just one hint, if you're the nervous type. Don't worry over Fawry. Where would our plot be, sans hero? JAYHAWKER, by Sinclair and Lloyd Louis. (Doubleday, Davenport, and Co.) The figure of Ace Burdette, a combination of Jim Lane, Montgomery, and Dennis Jennison, with Francis Preston Blair's scheme for ending the Civil War, will certainly thrill the pioneer Kansas grandists and daughters, steeped in the early history of the state as most of them Ace Burdette, his rapid change of frontiers from a militia senatorial chair, his downfall—all are built on history, not of no one man. Fred Stone and his third daughter are doing it in New York now, as a smash hit. To us, familiar figures endear it. There mention of Lawrence and a flock of little Kansas towns, bringing Kansas roots to heel. And Horace Greeley and Lincoln's by-standers we'll all sweep by or at. "There's no such thing as a Jew. " only Jews," was David's discovery on the long pilgrimage to the Gobi desert with his kımanın, after the Nazi blood purge had led the Jews all over Europe to take flight. He's a self-made "great man," working on the emotions of the people for office and power, held from too much confinement by Luke, his right hand man. ROAD OF AGES, by Robert Nathan; (Alfred A. Knopf) How Sinclair Lewis must have loved Burdette's playing ducks and drakes with the Kansans. Scene direction is vivid—you eat it up. All nationalities endeavor to mix as one. Different standards, means, ideals, all going into the making of a new home in the land ahead. Where will it end? How can the clashing temperaments and desires of the caravan reaches its new promised land?

They need leaders, yet not want to lose them and another things being done. It's really a prayer for the Jewish race. Without a friendly hand stretched out, the world seems to hold no place for them. Even their own Palestine is English ground. Where will they be a century hence? Or will this non-tolerance have worn off, as generations have fulfilled other terrific measures? COMMENTS -By the Editor THE PRE-CAMPAGN PUMBLINGS Pretty fancy, we call it. We mean, of course, the new mat Bill Cochrane has placed at the front entrance to the Union THE PRE-CAMPAIGN RUMBLINGS Rumors飞 fast concerning the recent political move on the part of the Kay-hawk club. The word is that the Oreaches are trying to do away with the non-fraternity angle, so that the fight may be carried into the ranks of the Pachacamac stronghold. It seems that some of the Rising Sun leaders are not so satisfied with this, because we have been giving, and the Oread bosses believe that with the stigma of being against the fraternity faction erased, there may be a chance to win over some of the disgruntled Pachacamacs. Last year Jimie Patterson, Kanan ediator and writer of the W.S.G.A. musical comedy of 34, started a campaign for pre-enrollment. The project was very dear to his heart, but he found this. Year this the M.C.S. hopes to put over the or no support among the students. a similar program for the benefit of the student body. How much support will they receive? PRE-ENROLLMENT THE UNION MANAGER SCORES building. Knowing as we do the public spirit of Mr. Cochrane, we cannot understand why he did not get one with "Welcome" printed on it in flashy red and blue letters. Bill wants every student to use the Union building, and to do that, he feels that every student must be made to want to use it.
