SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1935 THE TWELVE FATES Many, many years ago the Greeks believed that three goddesses sat somewhere in the depth of the earth spinning the lives of all mankind. In the yarn went everything that was to happen to individuals—birth, marriage, sadness, joy, and finally, when one of the grim figures cut the thread, death. Richard Bruno Hauptmann's Fates are not three, but twelve. They are not all women, nor are they gods or goddesses. They are simply twelve citizens of the country Hauptmann entered illegally. But they do hold the thread of Hauptmann's life in their charge as surely as the ancient Greeks believed their Fates held every life in their power. And like the Three Fates, the workings of the Hauptmann jury are unpredictable. No one can tell what Hauptmann's fate will be. That jury may cut the thread of life by the simple declaration of "guilty." It may change the whole substance of the yarn by declaring guilt, but recommending lenency. Or it may allow the thread to continue unaltered by declaring the prisoner "not guilty." But whatever the verdict of these twelve persons may be, let it be final. They alone should have an unbiased attitude toward the whole proceedings of Hauptmann's life. It is they who should have the most knowledge of what they will do with the life they control. Let us who are not immune to influences that might work toward error of judgment abide in our own minds by the decision of that jury. A BREAK FOR LADIES Ladies, remember that suit skirt that was so provokingly narrow that you couldn't take a deep-breathed step in it? Well, let it worry you no more! No longer need we mince along our way hampered by narrow hemlines. Let us all join hands, dance, and be happy, for Paris has decreed full skirts for the coming season. Do you realize just what this new fashion will mean to us? It means that we shall be able to climb the Hill in half as many steps as we have been made to take in our present mode of dress. It means that we can attain to new grace, because the old jerky manner of walking can be abandoned now that we shall have room to step out. And it also means that the danger of looking fat will be lessened when the slim ones can scarcely be detected from those of us who are no longer so streamlined, because we shall all be more puffs of fluffy, ruffy, fringy, swishey femininity. A pipe is a charming companion. You wouldn't let any other one stick around with such a smell—McPherson Republic.

Articles over 300 words in length are not published on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: In response to a query by R. F. I can only say that Mr. Metter, Muscal dance manager, deemed it inadvisable to have a Varsity dance Friday night. Your suggestion concerning the sponsorship of the organization is appreciated. I would appreciate your coming in and giving me more specific details. Should you still feel the need for some "strenuous exercise" you can look forward to the Quack Club tryouts next Wednesday at eight o'clock after dance and舞 dance at Hop Saturday night-Bill Cochrane, manager. Conducted by R. J.B. ROCK --- CHALKLETS We sympathize with the Engineer who happened to have several drawing instruments in his hip pocket when he slipped down into the ivy pavement the other day. Who will be the first co-ed to have the honor of opening the stockingless season? Of course we realize it will stockets yet, but we were just wondering. The Men's Student Council is figuring on altering the enrollment, or something. Might we suggest that they just eliminate enrollment entirely? One of the nice things about these "bi-wing" coats the kids are wearing is that no one has yet discovered just when they need pressing. Funniest statement of the year: Boys, I'm dropping everything and going after a 2.5 average—The Oklahoma Daily. If familiarity breeds contempt, what about a five hour course? —J.M. By the way, besides raising Cain all the time, Louisiana does raise a little sugar cane. SHAKESPEARE said something one time about all the world being a stage and all the people being the players. That may have held true in the Bard's day, but nowday there are entirely too many who prefer to stand in the wings and prompt. A few weeks ago the Russian government recommended a more frequent use of raisons, and now close on the heels of that comes the announcement that Tuxedos are being worn in Russia. Our guess is that they have been worn all of the time, but were not wearing once the popularization of the razer.

Sackville West: (Doublesav Doran) To go into the plot won't interest you; it isn't strong enough. It's highly amusing. Little Nell will be terrifying not big sister Sue or brother Brien. FOR 15 YEARS Our Station Has Been Headquarters for Students and Faculty FOR COMPLETE SERVICE DRIVE IN CARTER SERVICE ENTIRELY SURGHOUND, BY Charles Breckett (Cherald A. Kroop). A very wittery, very risque, this tale of an island house party. Situationa, the character is skilled and handled subject matter which would have been crude and raw. The humor never falls, though at times you fear it—the characters are evidently caricatures of the authors' acquaintance, as the dedication suggests. GOOD YEAR It's fascinating, horrific. You see each step before you but are gripped in the spell of the dark island and the lives of its innates. We have Sheila at sixteen, a beautiful immature woman with her first faint love and her adoration for Storm, the dark and mysterious island near her summer home. At twenty-six she marries its owner, her love for her environment killed outrageously, along with her love for him. At thirty-seven, surrounded by her children and her one wife still at Storm. At forty-six, murder and revenge, taking its theme from the island itself. I don't believe you'll be able to leave it alone till you finish it.
