At first there is no couple at all, only a man with a roving eye and an open book. He might well be studying the book, but instead he is using it as a ruse to keep up appearances while he is in the library. Soon she enters. He gives her candy or gum or she gives him candy or gum—it really doesn't matter who gives to whom, but there is nearly always candy or gum accompanied with conversation, and followed by chopping lips. "What are you going to do Saturday night? I'll bet you've got a date with some other girl. Why don't you tell me? I always tell you everything I do." (Poor girl). And the boy denies fervently, and worse yet, loudly. The girl pursues with "I'm going to Kansas City Saturday. Dorothy will be with me. Why don't you and Jack come over in the evening and take us out to a dance"? This is concluded with the decision that Dorothy will call Jack to see if it's O.K. with him, and a new topic is opened which is even less interesting, but holds the attention of those close by, because the now happy pair have passed through the whispering stage and are talking in a buzzing monotone. We favor the complete eradication of the posts, but perhaps some happier arrangement could be made such as segregating them in one room of the library devoted to the fine arts of conversation and gum chewing. Prosperity might emerge from around that corner sooner if more men were willing to accept the 3% the banks offer for their money instead of $3.2\%$ they get in beer. AUTHORS AND MURDER TRIALS Kathleen Norris, well known writer of popular fiction, is covering the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann for the abduction and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. A few days ago she pointed out that the civilization of the American nation is being weighed in the balance in this trial. The attitude of the court which conducts the trial will exemplify the attitude of the American people toward the crime of kidnapping, she says. While she points out the need for the utmost fairness on the part of the court, Mrs. Norris seems to imply that the severity of the penalty given the defendant, should be found guilty, will indicate the attitude of America toward kidnapping, and the more severe the penalty the sooner the crime will be eradicated. Only a few months ago Theodore Dreiser covered the murder trial of Robert Edwards and made similar statements about the significance of that trial. Today Edwards is looked upon as just another murderer sentenced to die for his crime. Has there been any noticeable change in America's attitude toward crime since that trial? Probably it will change to a corresponding degree after the outcome of the Hauptmann trial. For in spite of the opinions of authors, court proceedings do not change human nature very much. Alabama Heeded Will's Advice to Pass the Bail—headline. If the play had failed, then Will would have passed the buck, we imagine. REMAINS OF BESTIALITY "War is justifiable as a method of obtaining redress of grievances. Until a substitute is found for that method war will and should continue." That is the opinion expressed by Sir Wilmott Lewis, Washington correspondent for the London Times, in a speech to a group of college editors last week. It is typical of the arguments of those who are resigned to the apparent inevitability of war. It is a surprising statement, not because it is startingly true or untrue, but because it reveals the fact that in this age of universal dissemination of information and opinion there is still so much ignorance and so little thought in the world that such statements can pass as reasonable. Sir Wilmott Lewis represents that enlightened, purportedly thoughtful class which has the most influence in the ordering of affairs in this world and in the settling of its disputes. His group can find no practical methods of obtaining redress of grievances other than war, that residue of barbarism still remaining in the world, which demands that a nation wronged shall obtain redress by killing and maiming as many of its enemies as its strength will permit, and in so doing shall suffer as great a loss in life and property as the intended victim. Men may apply their heritage of learning and culture to the search for the secrets of the universe and to inventions that will enable them to build a show of civilization—great buildings and ships and machines; they may strive for perfection in the arts, to know and create beauty; they may devise profound philosophies and religions to guide their moral development. But when men find themselves aggrieved by other men they must forget their heritage and their work, revert to the ages when reason was unknown, and behave like animals fighting over a carcass. That is the proposal of those who would justify war. On hearing that Huey Long might enter the race for president in '36 as an independent, Pa Tucket remarked that he certainly is relieved to know that there is at least one independent Louisiana.

DER DEUTSCHE VEREIN; DIG UNDER THE MAN We read so much that is hateful, about our friend Huey that we come to wonder if the man can be as odious as he is painted, or as "dangerous" to the future of the country. One would almost feel sorry for the Leader. The odd thing about the bulk of invective composed with Huey in mind is that with no exception it contents itself with stopping at Huey. Like the stuff written about Hitler, the fault committed is that of personalizing our dislikes. Some day we ought to get the business clear in our minds, that is we ought to see that what we despise is the condition that makes these men possible. Dig under the man. The statement of Harvard psychologists that the radio can never become a successful medium of education tends to confirm an impression that has long prevailed. We certainly are not so completely naive as to believe that one man can elevate himself, in these days, to a position of absolutism. No, it is not the man but the system behind him that gains control. But perhaps such reasoning is too abstract for most persons. Why not go a little easier on Huey and good old Adolph, and dear Benito? Are they not quite human, whatever you say? If we must get agitated, let's think about the systems that make these gents thrive. The series of tests completed and analyzed by the scientists indicated that the radio had a somewhat dulling effect on the higher mental processes of the listener. Under its spell the listener becomes less critical, less analytic, and more passively receptive than when face to face with the speaker It would be foolish to deny that radio has had an important part in our lives in the past decade. Steady improvement in receptivity of sets has made possible a growing familiarity with the works of famous composers. Through development of broadcasting facilities it has been possible to share the thrill of national events with an unseen audience numbering millions. By means of steady technical advances it has been possible for those high in office to speak directly to the people of the world. These are ENTERTAINMENT BUT NOT LEARNING genuine contributions to modern life. But from the start radio has placed its emphasis on entertainment, and there the emphasis remains. It is no substitute for thoughtful reading, or even a good lecture. As a device for education the microphone has been generally overrated. R. O. T. C. Weakening at Princeton From The Daily Princetonian, It is gratifying to learn that the illustrated booklet with which the R.O.T.C. has in the past sung, or charm the incoming Princeton, is in the future, to be presently for the better. It is difficult to understand just upon what foundation this advertisement of sugar-coated militarism was ever based. It was undigested and entirely out of keeping with any concept of academic ethics. And in addition, it placed the military arm of Princeton University on a preferential status as compared with the educational arm. In the future this set of pictorial blandishments will be replaced by a small, unillustrated and purely explanatory pamphlet explaining the requirements and nature of the R.O.T.C. course here—from a purely objective stand-point, says the Administration. This constitutes some improvement: the mere presence of an exam does not. Let us be hold enough to hope that in another year this objective viewpoint shall have sunk into the skins of the powers-that-be enough to make them realize that military courses have no place in the Princeton curriculum.

Bavers Aspirin 17 Our star basketball scorer, Mr. Raymond C. Ebling, did some fast travel during the Christmas holidays. He just had to get down to Kansas City to see that diminutive young lady friend of his, Miss Helen Deer. But after "Handy for Students" 1100 Mass. Phone 678 staying till the wee small hours it was hard on his constitution (or training) to get up at seven that same morning to catch a bus to Lawrence. All of which made it difficult for him to appear as fresh as a —— at his basketball workout and the rest of the day. —Contrib. Lawrence Boy Scouts Hold Swimmink Meet in Robinson.—Kansan Headline. By the by, how're your red flannels scratching? A marketing class was discussing advertising slogans recently and the line "It's not the heat; it's the fumidity" was mentioned and asked to be identified. Someone piped up: "It must be the Sour Owl's slogan." The best crack of the week, as reported by Ken Meuser of the Olathe Mirror, has to do with the lady with varicose veins who attended the mudist masquerade party disguised as a highway map. Somehow we feel that we otter gone to that one. Correction Allen Sapp is one of the three highest ranking candidates who took the examination for the Columbia postmastership. It was stated in the Missouri that G. B. Sapp was a candidate for office—Columbia, Missourian. Oh well, he's a Sapp anyway you take it.
