TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1934 OVER-PARKED THOROUGHFARES There are two streets near the University campus that probably provoke more than their shore of profane language. The difficulties arise from the narrowness of the streets and the large number of cars parked on each side. Threading a way through the narrow passage left between the parked cars is a strain on the driver's nerves, and often results in scratched fenders and harsh words. One of these places is on Mississippi street east of the stadium, and it is particularly troublesome at this time of year because of the number of spectators at football practice. The other is between Twelfth and Thirteenth on Oread, where the congestion of parked cars is almost continuous throughout the year. The best remedy, of course, would be the widening of the streets. The next best remedy would be restriction of parking to one side of the street only and prohibition of double parking. Such restriction might produce a little profanity itself from drivers who park in these places a great deal, but in view of the fact that the widening of streets would require several months (if it could be accomplished at all), it seems that parking restriction might be well justified by the amount of inconvenience and nerve strain it would avoid. SHOWING HOW PEOPLE LIKE THEIR NAMES IN PRINT Last spring the journalism department set about determining just how the Daily Kansan was being read. The figures are now available. In order to guard against generalities and to gain specific results each journalism student was given three copies of the regular issue of February 20 and was asked to interview a Kansan subscriber for each copy. The items in the paper were grouped into the following divisions; general news, sports news, sports statistics, society, editorials, campus opinions, and advertising. The number of items in each division that had been read entirely was carefully noted and separate tallies were kept for men and women. The students were instructed "to mark each item, indicating whether the person interviewed had read all of the item, part of it, or if he had not read it at all. Six hundred ninety-two papers were returned Assuming the readers were honest in their marking of the papers, the results are rather surprising. For instance, 48 per cent of the red-blooded men read the society column, while 35 per cent read the sports news. The fact that 79 per cent of the woman read the society column is a commentary on human nature and indicates one of the problems of a newspaper publisher. If an average of 63 per cent of the subscribers read one society column, compared with the 34 per cent that read all of the general news, why print more than a society column? Society columns are the icing on the cake, and most people seem to like ice. Sports statistics (box scores, tables, etc.) have a definite place in the paper. More men read them ban read the sports stories. Advertising trudges along with 30 per cent of the readers heartening to the merchants' trumpet-blowing. Saving the best for the last, the editorial staff if much heartened by the information that, despite the pooh-poohing and the professed lack of appreciation for this column, 38 per cent of the men and 37 per cent of the women read all of the editors, while the same figures hold for campus opinions. Newspaper publishers say they feel their column is doing well if 25 per cent of the readers peruse the editorial page. Perhaps the University students are more intellectual and are searching for the hidden meanings in things and for a guiding light through the problems of the world. Or perhaps they just read the editorials in the Kansan to get a laugh. At any rate, 38 per cent is a good gure and the staff is happy about it. The column is being read and that's what it is written for, even though some persons may think it is done just for practice. CO-OPERATION SCORES One hundred and twenty-five students getting the benefits of the co-operative meal plan, as compared to the thirty-five of last year. This latest achievement of the University in the way of help for the hard-pressed student seems somehow to fit in with the spirit of the times. All over the country co-operative enterprises are increasing in number, and people are beginning to realize how much more can be accomplished when they work together rather than every man for himself. Here on the campus, the number of applicants for admission to the co-operative meal project is the most convincing proof possible that it is a growing thir The benefits of the meal plan are obvious—regular meals, planned meals, meals at bottom cost. Any student who has "eaten around" will realize that three of his greatest difficulties disappear when he goes in on the co-operative plan. It's a copy-book virtue that we've heard about all our lives—co-operation. But it seemed a little bit at cross purposes with the rugged individualism of a few years back. Now, however, this working-to-together becomes a real thing, something that is going to play a part in the lives of all of us. LEST A STUDENT FORGET It's a rushing season—this beginning of classes, trying out for a half dozen organizations, and endearing to keep up with the first social whirl. So many things occupy the present that home often slips far into the background. Failure to write home is usually a matter of thoughtlessness. Spare minutes which might have been spent on a note, too often dissolve into a "bull fest" or a coke session. Letters to the family become in frequent and brief, with the result that parents who feel acutely the vacancy left by a son or daughter fear that home does not mean as much as it once did. They do not complain, hesitating to do anything which might be mistaken as an appeal through the old ties. The "folks at home" do not have the many new interests to attract them. Their life follows the same routine, and their thoughts are of ten with the absent member, won during what he is doing and if he is happy. Frequent letters about small doings, about class work, and new acquaintances make them know that they have not been forgotten and that home still holds the biggest place in the student's heart.

"The world's wuest," nmoes the de la Lahoma A & M editor, "is finding out that a certain security does not rank under the same as a major activity for its pledges." The Atchison Globe suggests the Old Kentucky remedies for a cold bad: Hang your hat on the bedpost, and to bed, and drink whisky until you see two Our Contemporaries The University of Nebraska is stepping out; they are inaugurating "the new deal" in the fraternal rushing to support students completing final financial data about all fraternities and sororities are turned in to a board of control and are then published. Fraternities on this campus are running behind Greek orders in other colleges in progressiveness. Everyone should be content with conditions as they are. New Deal For Greeks All fraternities are made to tell the actual costs of pledging and joining. This would eliminate the system used by many fraternities on this campus of coming down on house bills during rush week but afterwards boosting prices back up to the point where the fraternity can really exist. This idea would not be destructive if the students should not be. It would serve to put fraternities on a sound and paying basis, and it would prevent imitation and only the best would exist Johnnie to dig just a little bit harder than they are digging now under the proposed system because all special needs parents would know what was coming Current Screen --of a girl from the sticks and beer gardens of Missouri. All went well until it was disclosed that her father had been a drunkard from Kansas. AT THE GRANADA "The Girl From Missouri" Jean Harlow Lionel Barrimore Franchet Tone Lewis Stone Patsy Kelly Hale Hamilton the play. Eadie and Kitty run away from a Missouri beer garden to find money in New York. Eadie gets a break at a star party as a chorus girl; he goes on a bike ride with her, volved in a suicide case, has a blushing millionaire (T. R. Paule) remove circumstantial evidence from the top of her stocking. She chases the millionaire to Palm Beach, spurs his son (T.R. Paule), by her, is framed by the elder Paula, in turn, in true Missouri style, frames him, leaving everybody mortified except the newspaper photographers. Eadie decides that being a lady doesn't matter to her. She plays boy with gray temples. But Kitty, becoming serious for once in the play, finds the junior Paige and the elder Paige, and they find Eadie. Everybody loves her as Kite, and she perfectly able to take care of herself, even in New York. An Ende, Jean Harlow was quite a "lady," and a "lady" she remains throughout the play, in spite of entrances from Paige, the younger, and Emily; and in parts she plunks herself down in the midst of millionaires, tells them that marriage comes first, seeks to find a positive financial security in the first handy person she meets, being proposed to by a financial wreck. Her biggest worry in being a "lady" is her pal, Kitty, who is anything but a "lady" in any sense of the term and one who finds fleeting love with do-er-men as well as with ullenarians and senators. AT THE DICKINSON Penelope Day ___ Shirley Temple Jerry Day ___ Gary Cooper Gary Cooper ___ In this humanly appealing story of parental love Cooper steps from the role of the Westerman into that wherein he learns of their foremost principle of life is to "Now and Forever" live without working. Carole Lambard, as his wife, follows him about hopping trains and boats to bent hotel bills. The argument of the story arises because he thinks that his brother-in-law wishes to adopt his small daughter, Penelope, (Shirley Temple) whom he has had by a former wife, now dead. Jerry decides to relinquish his parenthood for the considerable sum of $75,000. He then asks Penelope to come with him, but to no avail. He meets his daughter and is so impressed that he takes her away to Paris, gets an honest job, and settles down with his wife and daughter. Incidental expense arraises when she educates force him to become implicated with a jewel thief, (Sir Guy Standing). He returns the stolen jewels to the rich old widow from whom they were taken. The widow puts his daughter in school and promises to care for her during her education, the arms of the law, most respectfully There has been some discussion, both pro and con as to whether or not Shirley Temple has lost that unaffected big brother in her debut, "Stand Up and Cheer." The critics have said that the factor of her being the chief support income of her family is归来 to change her appearance. But the little Miss Temple still keeps her delightful beauty and naivete, but little acting mannerisms can be seen in her portrait which may in time take over her growing attraction that she is at present. Best line: "Seventy-five thousand dollars is seventy-five thousand dollars." Best shot: Cooper making an appropriate face for Shirley Temple as she takes castor oil. Twenty-five-dwrs or less? Fourteen-dwrs or more. To: Lauer and pretata. WANT ADS ARE COMPANYED BANKED BY CASH. Want Ads WANTED: A 1933-34 Jayhawker cover. Call Paul Wilbert, K.U. 32. -19 LOST.
