Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas TUESDAY. APRIL 10. 1934 AND THE MEN WILL VOTE Thursday is election day on Mt. Oread. Politicians will wheedle and coax, damn and deny, and fill the air with loud whispers as the men students of the University vote for their choice of candidates for Student Council positions. Strangely, this year's election has not aroused the interest or the conflict as have elections in other years. The opposing parties have issued statements, but their tone has been mild. Issues have not been clearly marked. The expected activity ticket feud died out completely after it was raised early as a party issue in the face of assertions by the opposition that a solemn vow had been broken when the forbidden subject was touched upon. The old fraternity issue has arisen again, with both parties offering non-fraternity men for the highest offices. It may be that the battle will wax warmer as the hour for voting nears, but now it seems almost as if the politicians had finally come to feel that the battle for student self-government is scarcely worth the effort. To say that with few marked exceptions no council has accomplished half its aims or purposes is not to cast a reflection upon the integrity or honesty of either party. And elections have another value here; they furnish topics for discussion and reflection without which the earlier spring days would be dull. Futile as the struggle may seem to observers, the yearly elections do furnish a medium for student expression. They are an excellent means for the publicizing of individuals and securing for the successful candidates gold keys which are orate as well as a source of pride. MISTAKEN DEMOCRACY An old gentleman of our acquaintance had a fondness for political arguments. A staunch Democrat, he would engage any Republican in a hearty discussion on governmental problems, but whenever the president's name was mentioned, whether Democrat or Republican, he was referred to as President Roosevelt or Mr. Wilson, not Roosevelt or Wilson. Unconsciously America is becoming less respectful toward the presidential office, not because of the conduct of her chosen leaders, but because she is forgetting courteous consideration for many things, even those which she holds supreme. The general tendency is to tear everything from its pedestal, but there are some things which must remain apart in order to fulfil their service to the people. Well-known comedians, entering a here-to-fore sacred field, began to capitalize on takeoffs of presidential action, thereby placing themselves and their profession on a lower plane. Personal matters of the presidential family have become common property. Such undue familiarity is not democratic but vague. Some persons in sympathy with the party in power refer to the President as if he were a common politician. He is not. He is the chosen leader of the majority of people. Criticism is necessary to the maintenance of a good government, but disrespect will not only lower the significance of the Administration in our own eyes, but also in the sight of other nations. GET SET Athletes all over the country are grooming themselves for what promises to be the University's greatest relay games. With Venzke, Dawson, Hornbostel, and Manning scheduled to appear here, the meet is certain of success. The Kansas Relays have grown to the importance of a national event in the sport world, and much of the credit can be given to Dr. F. C. Allen for their rise to prominence. This year, Dr. Allen was fortunate in having the services of Glenn Cunningham at his disposal, for in him the athletic director had a powerful magnet with which he could bargain for contestants from the larger universities. For several days the University of Kansas will appear on the sport pages of the country, greatly adding to the prestige of this school. After all, that is the principal purpose of the Relays, for the meet is not a money making athletic contest. When traveling and living expenses are paid for teams coming from all parts of the country, there is little, if any, left over. But during the Kansas Relays, the University is not just another middle western school, it is host to the world of sport and the center of all attention. WHY THESE ONE-YEAR PROGRAMS? A complaint heard frequently from college freshmen is that the only courses offered to them are mere repetitions of high school work which must be taken to fulfill requirements. The break between high school and college is often disruptive in so great a degree that the entire first two years of college are utilized in reorganization of credits and courses. Yale, always a leader in scholiastic efforts, is inaugurating a program of co-operation between secondary education and the university, whereby representatives will confer with prospective students and their teachers and zid them in mapping out a course which will combine high school and college work into a more comprehensive whole. If his training has been extensive enough the student will be allowed to enter Yale as a sophomore or with advanced freshman standing. President James Rowland Angell favors the plan because, he says, "A good college course should not be only a series of one-year programs." Such a step, while it has not yet been formulated in an entirely practical form, is an educational advance which may well be observed. It is obvious that a closer relationship between high schools and colleges would alleviate some of the difficulties encountered in our own credit system, and many critical situations could be done away with if the proper knowledge were used in planning co-ordination of courses. Ripley could have obtained his information about the "Never Never Boy" from only two sources: the boy's mother or his worst enemy. Campus Opinion It is known that all other colleges and universities in the Big Six do not hold parties at which stags are permitted to attend. Editor Daily Kansan: Why should the University of Kansas be different and allow college men to come to parties without dates? If every college student would escort a date to the University parties, every one preside could certainly enjoy the affair more. As it is now, the men who bring dates find that as soon as they get on the OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN ALPHA PHI OMEGA; Alpha Phi Omega will hold a special tonight in room 103 Adminis- tration building.

Now the stags think they are the center of the three-ring circus, and they occupy the center of the ballroom, forcing the dancers to the four corners of the hall. Let us try to be like other colleges and cut out the stag line — N.M. It is all right to have stags at the Mid-week Varsities, but everyone would be happier if all the college men would bring dates to the paid Univer- There are some students who cannot forget their prejudices long enough to give the devil his due. In other words, they refuse to admit that Rudy Vallee gave a passable performance in this picture. His was not the acting of Hampden or the singing of Tibbbett, but what do people expect in this type of picture? We still give him credit for doing unexpectedly well. G.

Our Contemporaries WITHIN ACADEMIC TRENCHES Daily Northwestern No king ever ordered his own decapitation. The discontented always generously perform the operation. George White's Scandals (Varity) is the kind of naughty picture that doesn't offend easily. If it did the Kansas censors would have had ample opportunity to exercise their cutting powers. But the suggestive parts are by no means the only attraction of the picture. Lift-Off and Out, the chorus work combine to make the Scandals one of the best musical reviews to date. So we can expect the powers that wield the scepter never to give it up without resisting. And since they already have the scepter their resistance is exceedingly vigorous. Now the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts alone wiggles thumbs up or down on what will make Joe College an educated and cultured young man. It decides whether freshman will sit painfully through hours of hygiene, mathematics or a language. It determines just what courses shall be taught. That treatment is American in the prerequisite which goes with the mesager salary of a professor. But control over the curriculum is more than a mere privilege. By forcing students to write through college algebra, mathematics instructors secure their financial future. By demanding a few years of language, two years of science, two years of English, the science, language and English departments perpetuate themselves. And because these required courses necessitate a large number of instructors, these departments wield a heavy stick on any revision program which might jeopardize their pay checks . . . . Current Screen provide the laughs. Schnozzle is best in his pants, or pantless, act, when he is soundly pummeled, trounced, thrashed, cuffed, twisted, tweaked, and sat upon—all in fun—by a wrestler friend. The big-mouthed Cliff draws a pair of applause from the audience when he is hunting for the catabane. "Hold My Hand" and "Sweet and Simple" will probably live longer than any of the other tunes, although "You Nasty Man" has a stronger appeal for the moment, chiefly because of the rendition. "Six Women" is a good novelty song. "My Dog Loves Your Dog" and "So Nicé" are other featured numbers. Wonder Bar at the fatee is another of those musical extravaganzas which came into popularity with 42nd Street and Gold Diggers of 1933. Produces seem to be competing tooth and nail to see which can bring forth a picture which contains the most stars, the largest and most beautiful chorus, and the most elaborate settings. For magnificence Wonder Bar is hard to beat, but somehow it did not click the way it should have. Dolores Del Rio is the only one of the stars who really portrayed her part in a capable manner. When Ricardo Cortez cracked the whip about her head she showed terror in her eyes, her facial expression and her whole manner. She was not afraid to dramatize ability than wooden-faced Kay Francis dislabeled in the whole show. Al Jolson can be himself, but he can't act. The nearest he came to it in this picture was when he pretended he was a Russian. His blackface act is getting stale, but his "Riding to Heaven on a Mule" stunt gets across because of the sheer livelihood of the background. Other prominent members of the cast are Dick Powell, Guy Kibblebush, Hugh Herbert and Fifi Dorsey. There is a Grand Hotelish smack about the pic-ness that is necessary for each of these actors to carry a thread of a plot of their own. PAY AS YOU USE IT! ROYAL PORTABLE NEW LOW PRICE!
