BIRTHDAY CAKE FOR KFKU
Ten years ago the University of Kansas and Kansas State College opened broadcasting stations, the first college stations in this section of the country. KFKU went on the air about a month earlier than its contemporary date. Its locations were near broadcasting. The Federal Radio Commission came along and cut that number to 40.
Because of its educational nature KFKU has no income from advertising. It is supported entirely by appropriations. When the administration started wielding the ax on expenses, Chancellor Lindley shielded the station and saved its head. Owing to the enthusiasm of the Chancellor and the earnest efforts of the faculty radio committee, KFKU has been able to continue serving the surrounding territory with the educational facilities of the University.
KFUK has a particular field in which it does valuable work. The persons responsible for its existence deserve credit for their efforts.
Hungary is demanding that Jugo-Slavia take back the Hungarian exiles whom she drove out of the country and that she pay them an identity. It appears that Hungary won't have the pests within her own borders, but she isn't going to have strangers picking on he, kids, either.
THE COLLEGE STUDENT AND CRIME
According to Earle W. Evans of Wichita, former president of the American Bar Association, the citizens of the United States have become a nation of "buck passers" with respect to law enforcement. He charges that American young people no longer respect their parents and teachers, and that such an attitude is leading to a general disrespect for law enforcement in general.
No doubt such conditions exist because of lack of thought on the part of both youth and adults. Just why people do not think about the serious problems of democracy is one of life's unsolved mysteries. But, until people become willing to think about such problems, little can be done in a democratic form of government to combat crime.
And since the thought of a nation depends upon the thought of its leaders, and since the colleges and universities are one important field of training for leaders, it becomes evident that the college student must turn his thought in the direction of self government, good citizenship, and the prevention of crime. For unless he forms habits of thinking in his youth, he will continue through life in a lethargic state of mere existence. The attitude of the present-day college student toward crime will in no small measure determine the attitude of the nation in the future.
FRONT PAGE STUFF
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt is sure of at least one Christmas present this year. Miss Dorothy Frooks, who unsuccessfully competed for a house seat from New York, met Mr. O'Day and friend Mrs. Daniel O'Day, says she intends to give Mrs. Roosevelt a gift.
"I like Mrs. Roosevelt," she said, "I think she's a peach, and a good sport. But she tried to do so much for a friend that she lent this friend her own accomplishments."
Apparently Miss Froeks is a very wise woman; now Mrs. Roosevelt has plenty of time to think of a nice little gift for her former opponent and her opponent's name has once more been on the front page of the daily newspapers. A truly valiant effort which so far has met with success.
An Associated Press dispatch says the Dr. R. A. Dafoe and Al Smith were recently talking baby-talk. Can't oo 'magine Al Smiff talkin' baby talk?
A SERVICE TO STUDENTS
Now that the time has come for the last-minute rush for reference books connected with those two most undesirable aspects of higher education, term papers and final quizzes, the library has decided to install a mechanism, such as that which is used to raise transoms, on the windows. The work this week has apparently started with the Education room and the Periodical room. With a like amount of disregard for the studying men and women present, the work next will no doubt progress
About two weeks ago the student enjoyed their Thanksgiving vacation. They had no opportunity to work in the library and most of them cast aside their class worries for a few days. What were the carpenters who are hammering in the new window raisers (for lack of a better name) doing then when the library was open and comparatively empty? Would it not have been just as simple to do the work at that time and save the student who is trying to work the irritation and discomfort caused by the incessant pounding on the walls and the conversation of the people.
Since we must have term papers and final examinations, and since a major part of the work required for them must be done in the library, let us hope and pray that the carpenters will not rest during Christmas vacation just so they can pound all the harder after it is over.
a bore is a person who has been to the world's fair also.
CAMPUS OPINION
Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kanata. Articles over 200 words in length may be included without citations on any subject are invited.
editor Daily Kansan:
Imagine, if you can, George Jean Nathan saying, "This show is worth the absence of experience reason than that the absence of experience reason for formers makes the play a typically amateur affair." Silly, eh? Mr. Doctor may not be a Nathan but he is the one who has made this play and he has had some experience in criticism. And to make the peculiar statement in reference to the absence of experience prostitution as Mr Nathan would be.
May I ask whether Mrs. Crafton could not have portrayed the part of the domineering Victoria Van Bret and made her truly domineering? Mr Crafton was well wooded or Mr Crafton particularly enhance the play by their sterling work?
As the play progressed (except for some few characterizations) I felt that I was seeing an amateur performance at home and went back to some of the plays of the past such as "Journey's End" and "Mary Rose," two plays with faculty who could stand well in comparison with those who better professional stage dramatizations.
I am for student participation in plays, but not to the extent of aeserifical satisfaction. I am a satisfaction is gained by having "a student play from beginning to end."

H.R.

Fifty Thousand Varieties of 'Bugs' Contained in Collection of Snow Museum
WHILE ROME BURNS, by Alexander Woolcott: (Viking Press).
By Donald J. Evans
"Any person who has not studied entomology has no idea how many insects there are in the universe," says Raymond H. Beamer assistant curator of Francis Huntington Snow Museum of Entomology. He points out that three-fourths of all the animals in the world are insects whether the comparison be

H. FORD DICKIE, President.
The collection of over a million insects on exhibit in the museum of entomology illustrates what Professor Beamer means. This collection is divided into about 50,000 species or varieties. A species or variety includes, for example, all of insects which reproduces certain markings and characteristics.
The Snow collection of "bugs" is made up almost wholly of insects sa-
pecies from the Arctic. Specimens are being added to the mu-
seum continually through collectors trips by students and professors and
through trades with other museums. A number of known specimen which the museum
does not have, and new species which

Every one has heard the jarfy song his dreary song on a summer evening. The entomologist calls the jarfy the Cleda. The Snow collection contains about 100 species. According to Professor Beamer, only one museum in the United States has a
Parts of it are exceedingly well done — Amber is very convincing in the role of heroine who timidly hopes, though it is certainly no surprise when she failed to get her man. She seemed to have been a born lover—a trosure trait, but very lifelike. Most of the characters are rather theatrical.
A Corner On Books By Mary Jule Shipman
The best parts of the book are the descriptive pages. The Forbidden City, in full splendor, is set forth, with Rupert eMendian's poetic悲诗 voice to translate it for us as he probes Ambor's English trained mind.
"Peking Picnic" was a Pulitzer prize, and "Ginger Gritter" is the natural aftermath of the distinction. Well writen but not outstanding, occupied with the affairs of the diplomatic service in a Chinese setting.

THE GIUGER GRIFFTN, by An Bridge; (Little, Brown, and Co.)
The outstanding single collection in the museum is the collection of spittle bugs. The spittle bug gets its name from the frothy mass which it secretes to cover its larvae. The addition of decorations will make this collection complete.
Many of the species are of economic importance. Through the collection and study of these insects, their habitats are developed. Many of the species are devised. This is especially true of the grasshopper, the grape leaf hopper, and the aphid group. Professor Beamer specializes in the study of grape leaf hopper and aphid groups. Professor Paul B. Lawson, and grasshoppers are

Accustomed to temperature near the freezing point, the Gryllabia will die almost instantly when exposed to the heat of the human

with various and sandy topic of current interest. Each of the sketches is a live little item, filled with clever imagery by a wide field of general knowledge.
His substitution of an incident in place of argument is one of the most interesting phases of his work. For example, he was involved in the union, he is reminded of the Corporal of Aignon tale. The sergeant, it seems, had enjoyed the war on sick leave in which he was a corporal and the corporal in the same treen in which he had left him long before.
But the corporal, you see, had different standards.
His "It may be human gore" tales on sensational crime, his reviews, his travel notes—all are rih in everything one needs to make good reading. Naturally his book is high on the best seller list.

OHENRY MEMORIAL AWARD SHORT STORYS, 1934, edited by Harry Hansen; (Doubleday, Doran, and Co.)
For some persease reason, "Dark," by Josephine W. Johnson appealed to me—the story of a blind man who rescued his sight for a few short hours. A little obvious, but it had a horrible irony that gripped him.
Pearl Buch and T. S. Stribling are the better known authors included Harry Hansen, the editor, is the literarist of the New York Herald Tribune.
The first issue of the Gale this semester was, according to last year students, a great improvement on the last numbers. The editor, Robert Gard, has done much of the phrasing that is one of the outstanding aspects in the material that he himself wrote.
the sixteenth annual volume of this award, judged this time by Suzanne LaFolette, John Erskine, and Burton Raece, all notes of author. It is a book of the year with stories of the year, published in magazine all over the country.
There are several rather good poems and a clever story, "Interlude," by Robert Blake, which is in a bare, black and white style and very effectively done. A research into the proper dress architecture, by Miss Hoopes of the English department, and an article on the lost art of doubling by the editor were featured.
