NO CONSOLIDATION FOR STATE SCHOOLS
Having carried out the instructions of the state legislature of 1933 to investigate the possibilities of consolidating the state institutions of higher learning, the board of regents recently decided that such action would not be feasible.
The purpose of the proposed consolidation was to cut expenses and to avoid any possible duplication among the various schools. The Board of Regents pointed out, however, that it is doubtful whether the state could gather all of the students now attending the five state schools together in one school as economically as under the present plan. It also pointed out the large financial loss on property and equipment which the state would incur in abandoning any of its schools.
Although it has been claimed that the University and the Agricultural College duplicate each other in respect to engineering courses offered at both schools, the Board of Regents showed that while both schools offer courses in engineering, the branches do not entirely duplicate each other. The University alone offers courses in industrial and mechanical engineering, while Manhattan alone gives instruction in agricultural and flour mill engineering and landscape architecture.
On the whole, the report of the board to the legislature gives quite conclusive evidence of the inadvisability of attempting to consolidate the institutions of higher learning in Kansas.
Psychologists might add the "adverse complex" to their list. Anyone with fortitude enough to attempt a second reading of Anthony Adverse surely should be included in that category.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
After being away from his sweetheart, Maria Delando, for twenty-five years, twenty-two of which have been spent in prison for murder, Michaelangelo Gentilcore is on his way from Stillwater, Minn., to Naples to marry her. For twenty-five years Miss Delanda has written a letter at least once a month and the couple plan to be married immediately.
A quarter of a century is a long time to wait for a man—any man. But it is a fairly safe bet that after waiting twenty-five years to marry, a speedy divorce will not be forthcoming.
America seems to have been running to many marriages and rapid divorces lately. In fact, the good old "forever and ever" love seems to have taken a back seat in the country the past few years.
Despite the fact that psychologists, some of them, claim that long engagements are not a good thing, if a few of them were a little longer there might be a great deal less employment for divorce lawyers.
The faith of Miss Delando is to be admired, whether it is deserved or not. But it is to be deplored
that a few more Americans don't take the "till, death do us part" phrase a little more seriously. It might lead them to look before they leap.
How long before Long okay O.K.'s resignation?
CAN YOU PROVE IT?
J. E. Wrenn, acting state com- mance director for the NRA, an nec- plied Monday that a list of 62 Kansas cities will be visited by NRA field adjusters in a mass compliance drive for observance of industrial codes. Every firm in the various cities is to have its records checked relative to wage and hour requirements of the employees.
In the past, violations were not corrected until a complaint had been lodged by the employees themselves, and were handled through Washington, but the new method means a canvass extending from one firm to the next. In other words, the firms are to be considered guilty before the adjusters have even so much as found out where those firms are, the employers have to prove themselves not guilty, and the whole affair has an air of injustice to the firms concerned.
WHAT IS EDUCATION?
If by education you mean four years spent at college or a university plus the diploma handed out, education could be defined as a mere sense of satisfaction on the part of the graduate.
He has gathered his A's, B's, C's,
maybe a couple of D's and a stray F into his basket and is now ready to sell them. It is at this point that the tragedy enters into the play and for many of the characters the rest of the performance is something of an anti-climax. After he has got up early every morning to go out and gather the eggs he finds no body wants them. People aren't
eating eggs any more. Now if he had gathered the chickens instead and brought them back he would have found a ready and waiting market for his wares. It seems that the buver demands the product that is back of the eggs—the chicken.
The student has just made a little mistake; he needs to make a return trip. He has lots of money though, so he can just start all over. Maybe he'll be a winner this round.
CAMPUS OPINION
Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kanen. Articles over 200 words in length are not submitted to the University for tributions on any subject are invited.
A bombshell expose of W.S.G.A. elections landed squarely in the middle of the staid University Wednesday afternoon. W.S.G.A. elections have been the laughing stock of university women for many years. Many a sorority girl knows what to do when whom did they say to veto? How W.1 would give our extra vote to so-so-and="70"
Editor Daily Kansan:
The whole thing in a nut shell seems to be that the coeds have realized, as the men students did long ago, that you must have an organization—yea, a "machine"—to wn. Last year they were organized, "secretly," so well that it was kown to the vote in each house who obeyed orders and who did not.
The W.S.G.A. seems to be the baby doll plaything of the University, organized expressly so that its members can point out with pride to their home town friends that they help decide when the dear girls of the school must bid their dates farewell. We must admit that the one hundred dollars which the K-Book fund ($100,000) to the K-Book is well-spent, and that the W.S.G.A. Book Exchange is a good thing. But such a little power for so august an assembly!
It seems silly to worry about whether the Pi Flies, Kappas or any other house form an atrocious combine to determine when the sisters of the campus shall bid their dates good night. Let's make W.S.G.A. a real power on the campus! Under a system of party elections with platforms and issues definitely outlined and fulfilled, W.S.G.A. would become less of a "pink tea" woman. You can't possibly certainly be less fascial. As long W.S.G.A. is forced to look upon the doings of the University with large baby eyes, there seems to be no reason for the sororites not having a mite of fun after such terrorms as they go through rush week.-L.M. and E.L., a nonsorory and a sorority woman.

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT KNOWN AS GREAT AMERICAN ARTIST
By Joe Doctor, c'35
In early September, 1923, the Japanese city of Tokyo was wiped out by an earthquake which took thousands of lives and either completely destroyed or severely damaged every building in the city, with one notable exception. That exception was the impressive Imperial Palace, whose previous and building of renowned beauty.
The Imperial rocked mightily as the earth unbulated beneath it, but as the shocks subsided, the structure settled into place, and inspection revealed not so much as a crack in the walls to indicate the strain to which it had been put.
In America an anxious architect, designer of the hotel, awaited verified news of his building. It was at first reported destroyed. Then came a telegram stating that the Imperial was intact and was serving as a hospital and refuge for hundreds of terror-striken citizens. Today no architect in the world is as highly honored as the designer of the Imperial Hotel, Frank Lloyd Wright, who will speak to students of the University convocation Tuesday.
Mr. Wright is considered in artistic circles as the outstanding American artist, and possibly the best that the country has ever produced. Although he works primarily as an architect, he has influenced art in America greatly. He is a painter, sculptor, and writer of some skill.
Born and brought up on a Wisconsin farm, Wright is thoroughly American and is keenly alert to the nation's aesthetic needs and powers. He was among the first to cast aside European tradition in art and develop what he feels is a dire need in this country, American art for Americans.
It has only been in recent years that Wright has come into definite recognition in this country. Now his buildings are show places for visitors to the various cities in which they appear. The Larkin Building in Buffalo, a factory of the highest efficiency and with none of the ugliness of such a building; the Unity Temple in Oak Park, first building to expose the re-enforced concrete of the walls; his own home, Talesin, of which is said, "it is not a hill, but of
But despite his strongly individual and American technique, this country long overlooked his ability, while in Europe and the Far East he was recognized as a genius. In Germany his style was enthusiastically, if some what crudely, copied and returned to America as the so-called modernistic building of today. His buildings in Japan stand as monuments to him in that country, and the Japanese will not soon forget the lesson he taught them: earthquake-proof buildings could be erected without sacrificing efficiency and beauty.
it" all stand as challenges to better architecture in America.
At Taliesin, the home which he built for himself on the family farm in Wisconsin, he has a school for architects at which George M. Beal, professor of architecture at the University, was privileged to study last summer. Professor Beal has pictured it as a central every part of the estate's buildings are under the same roof, from pig-sty to master's study. In it Wright has incorporated all the color and beauty of the countryside on which it stands. It is a self-sustaining plant, furnishing its food from the farm land about it, and having all the modern conveniences of an urban dwelling.
Wright is called a functionalist; that is, he works to promote the highest type of usability of his buildings. If it is a factory, he makes it thoroughly efficient; if it is a home, he endeavors to make it as livable as possible. He designs his own interiors, even to the furniture, but recognizes that artists and sculptors have a place in arranging interiors. He deplores the fantastic use of heavy armor to which American buildings have been subjected, as well as the box-like, clumpy appearance of structures. In his theoretical city, "Broadacre City," each family would have an acre of land, the dwelling would be made to fit the landscape, and modern use of machinery would prevent the congestion of cities today.
Because of his unprecedented ideas, Wright has found some difficulty in convincing prospective builders. He devised a plan to put an existing spot, and will suffer no alteration of his
plans. He will not sacrifice beauty and efficiency to cheapness, and will permit only the best of material to be used. His buildings are impressive because of their individuality, with simplicity, reasonableness, and beauty as the prime

movers. In his design for a modern sky scraper, Wright discarded concrete walls and substituted glass and copper sheet metal.
Professor Beal tells a story, which he says is perhaps not true, but very well could be. Wright was either not chosen, or refused, to join the group of architects who planned "A Century of Progress." When those selected met in New York to lay plans, one architect came in somewhat late. As he entered he surveyed the impressive group and asked, "But where is Frank Lloyd Wright?"
He was told that that gentleman was not present.
"A good thing," he murmured, "if he were, we'd all be out of a job."
