A PLEASANT DOSE OF INFORMATION
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
If there is a question as to whether convolutions are worth the expenses they involve, the University assembly Friday morning provided the answer. The speaker had information to give which doubtless others might have brought, but the clear straightforward manner in which he presented it, and his personality, left students with a desire for another taste of that refreshing kind of education.
Dr. Paul L. Dengler is an Austrian, and any member of his audience can sense his love for the country and its people, yet his observations were consistently objective. The Austrian situation is critical, the speaker made no attempt to avoid it, but his sine view of immediate problems in Europe left no alarm but an alertness which will follow future developments. He did not pound his points into his listeners, but spoke pleasantly and with a sense of humor which held the attention of the audience.
As students left the auditorium, several expressed a desire for such a lecturer in our own classrooms. It may have been the speaker's Austrian personality, it may have been his unusual ability to communicate his observations to others that left the very pleasant impression with the audience; the effect was a general agreement that learning under the Dengkл method should prove of the painless variety.
Umpire Has Winter Work with Collection Agency. — headline Some people seem to enjoy having others hate them.
THE WRONG DIAGNOSIS
In a letter to the Kansas City Star, one Arthur R. Langdon becomes the disgraceful attitude of "some of the young men at the higher institutions of learning in the United States toward military training." He sees in this pacifist attitude the eventual downfall of the United States as a nation, and predicts that historical diagnosticians will state as the cause of death, the same evil which brought destruction to ancient empires--pacifism.
Apparently Mr. Langdon is overlooking a few of the details of history in his anxiety to show his belligerent patriotism. He seems to have overlooked the fact that it was excessive and extravagant warfare that sounded the death knell of Alexander's Greece and the Caesars' Rome, and that it was their military ambitions that cost the Bourbons, Napoleon and Wilhelm II their thrones.
OTHERS WILL FOLLOW
A good workman demands good tools—and he takes good care of them. You may not be a good workman, even though a certain course requires work in a laboratory. But the next student to use your equipment may really know what he is doing, and the
materials with which he has to work will make a great difference to him.
Yes, it's going to be an old fashioned lecture on having a thought for the other fellow. For it must be thoughtless selfishness which is responsible for the carelessness of students who use the laboratories and shops provided by the University. Any other explanation of destruction which goes on would brand the majority of students as either incredibly stupid or positively criminal.
It is hard to believe that students purposefully damage and destroy equipment which they borrow from the University and which must be used by all their fellow-students. The fact that others must suffer from one person's neglect should make that one feel more rather than less responsible. Learning to share and co-operate is a major part of education. Let every student have the same care for University property that he would for his own belongings — is that asking too much?

Well, it's done! And since we've gone far that we may as well go the rest of the way and get rid of one that has been kicking around the shop for a couple of weeks: "One wonders was we are going with the situation in the work what it is." That one is the work of Charlie Rankin, Owl Owl (Censor).

New Careers For Youth, by Walter Pitkin: (Simon and Schuster)
Wine from the Grapes Edna St. V. Millay Experiment in Autobiography
the author's name is the selling point for this volume; "Life Begins at Forty" is still on the best seller list. "The Last Generation," or the mary of the opportunities of the present crop of job-hunters, the "Lost Generation," that just before us has had the hard breaks, says the author in a letter to their class by their examples and choose carefully.
He holds out little hope however. The medical profession needs general practitioners instead of specialization in the field. Money on money on folios or paint. Journalism has hit the rocks as far as newcomers are concerned.
Make your own job, is the theme
which emerges after two-thirds of a book bookglove with doubts. Originality and insight are the modern passwords. Engineering and business are given mediocre encouragement and small time jobs in new fields.
Distinctly not encouraging. Interesting as a viewpoint only. To take it seriously would send most of us home to weep.
Seven Gothic Tales, by Ink Dineen,
(Harrison Smith and Robert Hassan).
Seven Gothic tales. Strange to relate,
to the weirdness of storytelling in
moral dealing with the supernatural-
these are the Danish author's contribu-
tion. Barrones Hlixen of Rungsted-
land, Denmark, using her maiden name
American type of story teller and
philosophics, through her characters, to a great extent. Still, though they are heavy, each one is a well-made unit of the interest—somethin' breakthrough.
They deal, most of them, with intrigue, duels and scandal of the nobility. They begin and end abruptly, and often the tale unfolds backwards, leaving us fascinated. This is the sort of book you'd like to keep in your library.

FROM BED TO WORSE, by Robert Benchley; (Harpers).
Continuity to expectations aroused by the title, this is no more riguez, than a current number of the New Yorker. It is a collection of word sketches, with such a knuckle down sarcasm angle and humor in small doses to be really appreciated.
Benchley takes anything he can think of at the moment and creates a familiar art, ridiculing at about three pages per subject. Raspati, science, ghost and horror. Many of his arguments are utterly illogical enough to appear quite sensible. The whole book is unparried entertainment, though an interpolation of a laugh now and then to break the laugh emotion would make it better reading.
