FRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1934 REWARD FOR PLODDERS In all corners of the earth there are persons working quietly and steadily, completing their jobs each day to the best of their ability and receiving no recognition for their work, but who, without prospect of advancement, keep pladding. In the years of rapid rises in fortune, those who endeavored to do their individual tasks as best they could, but who accomplished nothing spectacular, were disregarded and forgotten for the necessary part which they performed in society. Recent years have found fewer people looking impatiently for easy laurels, and men once more appreciate the importance of the individual job well done. Steady tolling does not go unrewarded. Now and then someone unexpectedly has an opportunity for advancement on the basis of work of long-standing quality. True, these opportunities are not as frequent as they once were, but they usually come to those who earn them. If we can believe what history tells us about the old frontier police forces, perhaps we should ask history to return "Wild Bill" Hickock and Wyatt Earp to us long enough to use their old six-guns on Dillinger. OVERDOING IT The saying goes, "If wishes were horses, beggars might ride." Applied to the University, however, it would read, "If beauty queens were awarded scholarships, there would be no fee-paying women on the campus" or words to that effect. So far, there have been fifteen beauty queens for each class in school, a football queen, a relays queen, and a "most alluring she." Whether Kansas is now raising such gorgeous creatures by the score or whether it is just a fad which will not last long is as yet an unanswered question. If a good answer could be obtained to the question it might furnish subject matter for a thesis. Few people mention the word "depression" any more. Perhaps we can even get over talking about the return of prosperity. JAPAN FEELS HER IMPORTANCE Japan reluctantly opened her doors to the world in the middle of the Nineteenth century. Since then she has grown steadily in importance and has become a world power. She has been consistently successful in her undertakings for expansion as to both territory and commercial importance. This country assumed a protectorate over Korea, and later annexed it. She went to war with Russia, and Russia had to accept her terms. She joined the allies in the World War and was given a mandate over the German-owned islands in the Pacific. Now she claims them as her own. She practically annexed Manchukuo, declaring that it was essential to the existence of her people. She has built up a navy which is one of the largest and most modern among nations. Her army is well trained and highly equipped. Within the past few days Japan has given the world notice that she is to be the supreme influence in China. She has practically declared a Monroe Doctrine over oriental Asia. Japan has virtually declared that the other nations must keep hands off. Although the world powers are maintaining a policy of "watchful waiting," it is hardly likely that they will not accept Japan's ultimatum as final. AND RECORDS CONTINUE TO FALL The announcement that Beccali, Italy's Olympic 1,500 meter champion, has bettered the world's record made by Glenn Cunningham in the 1,000 yards, should not be taken solely as a disappointment by the fans of the Kusas track star, but should be recognized as an added incentive in the field of sports. The Kansas Relays last Saturday saw several of the carnival records broken. Few marks stand for a notable length of time in any field of sports today. There must be a limit to human stamina, it seems, but each year new advancements are made in the science of athletic training, and old marks continue to fall before new attainments. One can but wonder how long records can continue to be broken. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Your recent well justified editorial in regard to the condition of the tennis courts underestimates one situation. Tennis or played on the majority of the University courts is reduced from a game of skill to a mere gamble that some young boulder or loose gravel will not cause the ball to bounce off at some crazy angle, in ease it bounces at all. Due to the free occurrence of loose gravel the playing of tennis here is quite hapless and on the whole discouraging even to the greenest player. Inasmuch as tennis is so popular and the opportunities for students to play are comparatively limited, it is all the more disgusting to have to play on a combination of loose gravel and poorly marked courts, several of which are provided with nets that have long since seen better days. For an institution of this size to offer such poor accommodations to its students is not only a disappointment to those who enjoy the game but a sad reflection on the school as well. Many who saw the K.S.A.C.-K.U. matches were disappointed to see that even the two variety courts were far from satisfactory and the members of both teams were unable to play as well as they are capable of playing. D. O The Kassan feels that the following reach a good piece of analysis that it deserves of special attention, and in accompanying with the judgments ex-actly used in the paper only as the opinion of the writer, but as the ditorial opinion of the Kassan. Editor Daily Kansan: —Editor I notice that a difference of opinion in M. U.'s non-flunkable course plan as arisen between two correspondents of this column, and how I would like to put in a few words. I agree with he two earlier writers that K. U. satisfies me on an alms maker. I agree with his second writer who maintains that E. M. was severe on M. U. and its plan. but on the question of the increase of social life that such a plan would bring, I am much inclined to agree with E. M. There is little question in my mind that a program of non-fluent courses would actually greatly to a limited men and women who have no three in any university, scholastically, do not mean to imply that socially inclined people are all poor students—not at all, but anyone will admit that many social lions are far from being good students. We all agree that M. J. is a social center already, and I like M. J., wondering just what M. U. will be like in a few years if this plan goes into operation. Of course, merely taking non-fluent-able courses would not make one more desires of climbing social, but that is not what E. M. meant in his objection. I am sure. The second writer certainly begs the question at this point. What E. M. likely means and what I mean, is that such a system would tend to cater to social lions—not merely that taking the course would do this. The second writer goes off on Phi Mu Epison will meet at 4 o'clock, Tuesday, May 1, in room 217 Administration building. WINNON VENARD, Preside- OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Notices due at Cancellor's Office at 11 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11:30 a.m. s. a.m. for Sunday issues. PI MU EPSILON; No.138 Friday, April 27, 1934 RHADAMANTHI: There will be a meeting of Rhadamanthi Sunday afternoon at 4. Members will please bring poems as the Jawahker deadline is near. SCABBARD AND BLADE: The company will meet Monday, April 30, in room 5 of the Union building LOUIS FORMAN, First Sergeant. SIGMA ETA CHI: Installation of officers will be held at 415 at the church. Please notice the change of time. All members are asked to be present. Y. W. C. A.: a tangent on prerequisites. What have prerequisites in common with the question of non-flinkable courses? Very little. M. U. could abolish pre-requisites and still avoid non-flinkable courses. I, too, believe that abolition of prerequisites would be a good move, but this plan of non-flinkable courses seems mighty perilous. Then, too, the second writer claims to know just how M. U. is going to manage this place. Where does he get his knowledge of what M. U. is going to do? He says that M. U. will split the student body into two groups—those taking non-flinkable and those taking regular courses. Well, I certainly do not approve of any such plan as that. It would be better to abolish flinkable courses for all students, rather than to split the student body into two distinct academic groups. ELIZABETH HINSHAW, President. I believe that a better solution would be the ablation of prerequisites, in order to allow all those who wished a college education to get a sample of it. But I like E. M. believe that M. U. is putting itself in a queer light by allowing students to enroll in non-funklable courses. And M. U.'s waning enrollment certainly is a factor in this plan. M. U. has suffered a far worse loss than most any other college depression or no depression. Anyway, many will watch with interest to see how the non-funklable plan works at Missouri. Prof. D. Gagliardo of te economics department will speak on "Trade Unions and the NRA" at the meeting of the Girl's Industrial group, Tuesday, May 1, 4:30 at Henley house. DORIS WESTFALL, Chairman. Think over these questions, and if you belong to either category, we suggest that you change your tactics, because it is certain that nothing is accomplished. We sincerely believe that if co-operation is given the instructor all classes will begin and cease on the hour. Try this for a week and see how you get along. Our Contemporaries T. M.B To Be Seen. Not Picked It is admittedly a great temptation just to pluck one flower and excuse oneself on the ground that the absence of only one blossom will not matter. It is well to remember, however, that it might also enable them to might also enable themselves of that privilege, and, if they did, the campus would be shorn of beauty. Prof. F. M. Andrews of the University Botany department recently observed that, while it is the accepted rule that flowers are to be seen and not picked, the rule hasn't that privilege, and if they did, the campus where the ruins of flower picking too often are in evidence. During the past two or three weeks there have been considerable criticisms about over-time classes. The main criticism has been directed toward the professors and instructors who hold the classes after the hour, but whether this is well-founded or not is left to be discovered. Indiana Daily Student. The flowers on the campus are there to be enjoyed by all students and visitors alike. Once they are picked they will continue their brightness only a few short hours before wilting. If left where they are, hundreds of passersby will enjoy their beauty for many days THESE OVERTIME CLASSES Florida Alligator We believe the word "classes" used in the foregoing statement is correct, because in a majority of the cases it is the fault of students that the classes are not dismissed at the hour. We have yet to discover why some students persist in raising unimportant unrelated, and sometimes foolish questioning. It is because they believe they will gain the graces of the instructor, or is it because they want to "show off" to other members of the class? The University regulations state that all classes shall end on the hour, and the instructors shall end all discussions then. It is also stated that classes shall begin ten minutes after the hour. This allows ten minutes to move from one class to the other, which is ample time for anyone to go from one extreme portion of the campus to the other, unless hindered. However, it has been called to our attention that some of the classes are violating these rules. Current Screen --at the Looking for Trouble (Varsity) is a fast-moving story depicting the lives and adventures of pole climbers and wire splicers. Aside from the technical aspects of the picture, a love interest that is a bit out of the ordinary adds to its dramatic value. Spencer Tracy in the role of an ace trouble shooter is at once hard-boiled and very, very human. The way he portrays character, the audience can easily believe that Joe Graham is the type of man-of-the-world who would pull up his stakes at a moment's notice and move on to more novel and exciting things. His lack of knowledge about women furnishes several amusing incidents. As a blustering, egotistic had fresh from a small town Jack Oakie fills the bill perfectly. He is one of these boys, not infrequently found on the Hill, who are always saying, "Now back in Podium Center we did it thus and so." By accident he is made Tracy's partner in the repair gung, and as such gets his wings clipped out a few times he comes out of the clouds. The crew did well to throw these two diametrically opposed characters together, and the director was smart enough to capitalize on the contrast. The women in the picture—Constance Cummings as Tracy's sweetheart, Arline Judge as Oakie's crush, and Judith Wood as a trouble-maker—fail to make the contribution to the picture that might be expected of them. In spite of attempts to be unfair, these characterizations are rather void and insinual. Some hot lines are those recorded by Oakie when he tells Miss Judge his opinions on women keeping what Nature meant them to have. "Made for You" means just that when you get your clothes here.
