TOMMY RYAN
If a census were taken, probably three fourths of the students of this University would remember "Tommy Ryan, ex-middle-weight champion of the world." They will recall, upon hearing of his death yesterday, how he came upon the stage in their home town high school bearing his dumbbells.
The facts that he took another's name and that a sixty-five pound dumbbell was found on the stage where he had used a "two hundred" weight need not bother us. He had a mission and he was famously sincere.
Who does not remember him as he stood on the stage and wrigled his knee caps? It seems but yesterday when he pushed the weight past the impressive bulge just below his ribs and lifted it over his head after challenging any cignet smoker in the audience to repeat the feat. His promise of $25 always seemed to cow rather than to encourage prospects.
While to many people he may have appeared foolish, his effect upon high school students was remarkable. Whether or not they followed his precepts, no one ever forgot him. He combined the evangelistic with the theatrical, and was one of the last strongholds of a vanishing race.
When the great accounting comes and that colostial trumpet blows, there, with his old battered dumbbell in place of a harp, "Tommy Ryan" will stand in the Kansas-Missouri section awaiting all of us in whose memories he stands a glorious figure.
AMERICA AND THE NEXT WAR
Two close observers of world affairs, writing in Scribner's Magazine for May, present thoughtful discussions of the probability of the United States becoming involved in the next war.
Both writers review the structure of alliances that brought war in Europe in 1914, and point out similarities between the European situation today and the situation in 1914, concluding that war is in the near offing.
They recount the mistakes of the American government from 1914 to 1917 which led this country into the conflict. One writer thinks that America has learned nothing in the past twenty years and can be expected to repeat her mistakes. The other, Lothrop Stoddard, thinks that if Americans begin now, while blood is still 'toel', to formulate plans for maintaining neutrality throughout the whole of the next war, they have a chance of preventing the jeopardizing 'of their national security in a cause that is not vitally their own.
Mr. Stoddard's suggestions as to what this plan should be are practical. He recommends that war-time exports be rigidly controlled that trading be conducted on a peace-time basis, that is, goods against goods, gold, or at most, short-term credits; that all goods be shipped f.o.b. to some port in America to be transported in foreign ships at the purchaser's own risk; and finally that neutrality be enforced with a war-strength
navy and army and well organized mobilization machinery. Such measures will be necessary to prevent violations of American neutrality which occurred in the last war and which inflamed public opinion against one of the belligerents.
The plan will be impossible of accomplishment, however, says Mr. Stoddard, unless work is started immediately to make it a part of the national policy. It will mean the subordination of commercial interests to national interests, an impossible task after war has started and lobbyists and propagandists have launched vigorous campaigns. Americans should start now to prepare themselves to resist the efforts of foreign and commercial interests to drag America into the next war.
Experience has taught us that no one displays quite the ingenuity of the inveterate gum chewer when he selects a place to "park" his gum.
PET PEEVES
Pet peeves are some of the little things in life that make living worthwhile. You cherish them because they give that feeling of individuality and slight superiority that comes from very great annoyance at another's idiosyncrasies.
If, at the end of a telephone conversation, the other party is a little quicker and bangs the receiver, you inwardly condemn him as being a most discourteous person. But this can be eclipse by even a greater peeve, the central who persistently pops the telephone in your unsuspecting ear.
The classroom affords some very distinctive distates, As, for
example, the boy in the next seat who cleans his fingernails every morning with his knife. Or the girl who combs her hair and throws her loose locks on your freshly brushed suit. The most despicable, the worst by far, is the student who starts an argument with the instructor just as the whistle blows. He deserves all contumely.
After the first inward wrath has subsided, contempt and disapproval is usually expressed in the stock phrase, "If there's anything I hate! Thank heavens, I'm not like that."
Our nomination for "the forgotten woman" is last week's beauty queen.
TO INSURE MENTAL HEALTH
The University and other such institutions should have a psychiatrist or counselor to treat mental or emotional deviations and reconstruct individuals before the trouble has advanced appreciably. It is a much more difficult task, and vastly more essential, to develop a balanced personality than to get mere intellectual training. That prophylactic measures are
Every school system should have a psychiatry program to insure the mental health of its students but, unfortunately, the University of Kansas is one of the many that does not have this advantage.
Some students are just beginning to show failure to adjust themselves to the complex situation that they face in adult life, while others are suffering to a much greater degree of abnormality. We speak of the mentally sick just as we do the physically sick, so there is no stigma attached.

HI-HOME NIGHT BANQUET:
better than cure is a truism which applies to this as well as other ills. The proper time for mental hygiene is in youth, when the individual is still plastic enough to yield to educational measures, which may be provided to enable him to overcome any peculiarities he may manifest and to help him develop a well-balanced character.
INTERRACIAL GROUP:
The Interracial Group of the Y.W.C.A. will meet at Henley house at 7 o'clock Thursday evening. Plans will be made for a picnic.
MARTHA PETERSON, ANNA MARIE TOMPKINS.
The need for psychiatric assistance has been realized by more enlightened educators for several years. Psychology instructors admit that there is a surprising number of students who have psychopathic traits because of failure to recognize the significance of minor peculiarities.
There will be a meeting of all K men in Robinson gymnasium at 8 o'clock this evening.

Could this institution not have a psychiatrist to whom students with perplexing problems could go in confidence for guidance? Although such provision may be temporarily restricted by economic and other transient factors, it is necessary if we are intelligently to handle personality problems as they arise.

The regular meeting of W.S.G.A. will be held in the Council room this evening at 7 o'clock. PEGGY SHERWOOD, President.
After seeing "We're Not Dressing" (Variaity) we came away with the assurance that Bing Crosby can do more than sing—he is new learning to act. There is a great deal of singing by Bing, but the picture is quite different than the music he sang. We have been so popular with motion picture producers this last year.
Bing has the role of a crooning sailor who falls in love with Carole Lombard, owner of the yacht on which he is working. He carries practically the entire show with the exception of a few scenes in which Greene Allen tells us, among other things, that the plural of mice is "moose." Bing proves that he can get some laughs and not become a clown doing it. He sings to a bear when the animal has him flat on the floor and also while the bear is towing him across the ocean in a wash tub, both conical scenes but not clownish.

The songs featured in the picture are especially good. "Love Thy Neighbors" and "May I make the biggest hits with the audience. It is while singing these songs that Bing shows us he has learned something about acting.
