AFTER GRADUATION
Recent senior meetings remind us that soon another class will have completed its four-year treck and will be ready to face the world, seeking a job. It is a happy thought for those who have promises or good prospects for work, but to the great mass who have nothing but a college degree and a desire to do something big in the world it is the beginning of a possible long hard struggle.
The fact that the NRA and similar projects have made it possible for a great many additional persons to be put at work does not necessarily mean that it will continue to do so, or that college graduates will be the ones who get the work. No one seems to know how the codes will affect certain industries, or how many persons will be employed as a result. The college graduate's hope seems to lie in possibility of a chance to show how far he has fitted himself for the task he seeks and therefore how much more valuable he can be to his business than some less informed person.
In an address before journalism students last night, C. C. Wellington of the Kansas City Times expressed an opinion that more University students would be used this spring, particularly in some industries which have not fallen directly under a definite code before. With the necessity for hiring a great many more men, he said, the executive will seek out the college graduates to give them a trial. He will have ample opportunity to weed them out and learn which will become permanent fixtures. No such thing is likely to happen to the unskilled laborer.
College students look forward to the future with uncertainty but hopefulness, some of them trembling a little, for the long college day is nearing sunset.
WOMEN SOLDIERS NEXT?
The men of the nation may laugh heartily at the feeble efforts of the fair sex to achieve business success or athletic prowess. They may smile disdainfully at feminine efforts to mimic their "good-fellow" attitude or emit an amused chuckle at the girl friend's attempted duplication of their language. But when the women begin to play their games, and, worse yet, to beat them at their own sports, the problem of a single standard becomes at once a very serious one.
Strange as it may seem, recent events prove that university girls' rifle team members are more proficient in the art than men. In fact, they are so accomplished that two marksmen turned in perfect scores for the last meet, and enough points were scored to defeat three opponents, while their less fortunate brothers were defeated by five opposing teams.
Faced with a possible war, the nation may be forced to ask itself, "Shall men bear the arms, or shall the better sharpshooters,
the women, be given their chance?"
A continuance of such work might also mean policewomen. Straight-shooting ability combined with a woman's curiosity should be adequate protection against even Rowlands' bookstore robberies.
For the immediate future, however, we issue a timely warning: "Be good to your girl, my boy. She may be carrying a concealed weapon in her purse, and take our advice, she knows how to use it"
JUST AROUND THE CORNER
Everywhere on the campus students are beginning to look overworked and are moping about with drawn and haggard faces. Library crowds are still holding up to the usual numbers, yet there is a restlessness about the students that prevents them from retaining their usual intelligent expressive faces; they look at their books with unseeing eyes.
Even the Junior Prom offers only temporary relief from the monotony of hard work and the constant grind that makes itself felt after four weeks of concentration and thumbing through volumes of dry reading material.
The "Hilariities of 1934" is the only bright outlook for the coming week, and it will take no small amount of excellent "gags" to make a shadow of a smile flicker on the faces of the gloomy group of students.
Everyone, including faculty members, is growing weary of working and is beginning to feel badly in the need of rest. But cheer up, fellow students, the Easter vacation will soon be here. In less than three weeks the Hill will be buzzing with the talk of those who are going home, and the fragrance of spring flowers will replace the winter's gloom.
THE YOUTH MOVEMENT
Beginning in one of the greatest political strongholds in the middle-west, the Youth Movement in Kansas City has just taken the first step forward in what may result in revolution in city government. The Youth Movement, instituted early last fall in an attempt to combat the machine system which is prevalent in American cities, did not succeed in winning very imposing support in the primary election held this week in Kansas City, but its support did show a marked increase over non-machine groups of the past. Standing on a platform whose planks included clean government and reduction of needless expenditures, the candidates of the new movement impressed voters with their sincerity and character. They were actually defeated in the final counts, but not as much as any opposition probably would have been if the movement had not quietly organized and done its work throughout the winter.
There need be no discouragement in the camp of the Youth Movement followers. A work such as theirs must be if it is to succeed requires patience, time, and effort. The Youth Movement cannot hope to win in a day over conditions which have been built up over years and which are firmly entrenched, in control of the situation are the officers who administer the law, members of the old system.
Political victories for similar movements in the East a few months ago proved that new systems and new ideas can be inaugurated. The Youth Movement in Kansas City is to be congratulated in its courage and determination. Its potential force has already driven the proponents of the old system to plan a careful campaign against it. No insignifi cant force could have done that.

NO MORE WOMEN, the current attraction at the Varsity theater.
The story of NO MORE WOMEN runs true to the type Lowe and McLaglen are usually cast in, with the exception of a new setting. In this picture the two are rival deep-sea divers working on rival salvage boats.
SLEEP VERSUS STUDY
When Sally Blane happens along as the owner of the salvage ship on which McLaglen is working, they become rivals in love as well. Incidentally, after one look at Sally, Love loses little time in the game and goes back then on the fights begin in earnest.
Massacre is a dramatic presentation of what is commonly known as "the Indian problem." Residents of Lawrence will be especially interested in the picture because Richard Barthelmess and Ann Dovak play the parts of Haskell-educated Indians. Massacre is now showing at the Pattee.
The story ends with McLaglen rescuing Lowe in an under-the-water fight. Sally turns them both down, and the team celebrates their win on the resolution "no more women."
In one of the fumiest scenes in the picture the two rivals vie for Sally's favor by showing off their tattooed arms and chests.
Undoubtedly the faculty should not escape a share of the blame. The nature of the curriculum which is presented to the students, and the methods by which it is delivered, determines their plans of study in many cases leads to the inevitable substitution of long
To cite the cause for the insufficient relaxation hours of most students would be a difficult task. One can not put his finger on a cause and simply say, "Here is the reason for it all." for there are probably as many reasons as there are sleepy students. Some entail unfortunate necessities. The relative influence of others varies directly with the degree of adolescence and lack of will-power $o$ the individual.
The show is really a motion picture expose of the enormous amount of petty graft in handling the affairs of Indians on the reservations. Five years ago the film would probably have been banned from the theaters in some way or another, but now the picture happily co-incides with the numerous investigations into governmental departments and affairs.
In the midst of this ideal living he is informed of his father's illness back on the reservation. He goes home, learns of the intolerable condition under which the Indians live, and resolves to bring about a reform. In this he is aided by Ann Dovor, an employee in the agent's office.
The plot, though simple, is full of action. It may seem a bit forced, but one can scarcely escape that feeling in a moralizing dramatic production. Barry's directing helps give his role and his own interpretation on the screen.
Barthelme plays the part of an Indian stunt rider at the World's fair in Chicago. His $300 - a-week salary allows him to drive a much-betrapped roadster and to run off to fashionable cocktail parties in his spare time.
The Purdue Exponent.
It would be indeed interesting if one could set aside ten days for research and investigation during which period one would attempt to visit every eight o'clock class on the campus during the last ten or fifteen minutes before the bell. We venture that if one were to count the persons that gave way to the impulse of sleep during these visits, the number would reach approximately one-fourth of the total. Again we venture that if the process were repeated for one o'clocks, the proportion would be even larger. Should the investigator be even more present at the beginning of a slide lesson, of a lecture, he probably would make a special note in his records concerning the high glee of the audience at the preparatory putting down of the blinds and turning out of the lights.
With a few exceptions, this appalling state of mental lethargy can naturally be blamed upon the lack of sleep, and to a deliberate disinterest or indifference toward the courses. Extensive investigations by educational authorities throughout the country regarding this problem have established the fact that " those persons who get along on less than seven or eight hours of sleep must pay a price." This price is a costly sacrifice in the keenness of our perception, our memory, and our powers of reasoning.
DORIS WESTFALL, Chairman.
hours of tedious mental drugery for classroom attentiveness. If one must be sacrificed for the other, it seems advisable to retain the latter. On the other hand, it is questionable if such a sacrifice would be necessary if the student took full advantage of all his available time. Many students apparently obtain some contorted cross between the sensations of pleasure and martyrdom in engaging in an extensive "bull-session" until late hours and then forcing themselves to study until two or three o'clock in the morning.
In any event, a conservative combination of wholehearted studying with whole-hearted sleeping is the ideal solution. If it becomes unavoidably necessary to choose between the two, then the time-tested "healthy, wealthy, and wise" adage should receive due consideration.
SENATE SHOULD INVESTIGATE PROFITS OF MUNITION INDUSTRIES
The Minnesota Daily
Recent graft exposures, and a little snooping around recently brought Senator Gerald P. Nye to the startling realization that perhaps all was not right with the tremendous sums of money spent for arms and munitions. With commendable courage he has introduced a resolution into the senate authorizing the commerce committee of the senate to "investigate the activities of individuals and corporations in the United States engaged in the manufacture, sale, distribution, import or export of arms, munitions, or other implements of war and assertain... the nature of the organizations. . . the methods used in promoting sales. . . quantities exported and imported, and countries of origin or destination. . . and adequacy or inadequacy of existing legislation or treaties to which the United States is a party."
It has been no secret that the present armament situation is to some extent the result of the pressure which has been brought to bear upon the governments of the world by those in a position to profit by increased sales of armaments and munitions Pacifists, and other "unpatriotic" citizens who are interested in promoting the peace of the world, have fought for years to bring lawmakers the real justice of their lobbies. They welcome Senator Nye's resolution as a signal victory in a long fight.
Any sincere militarist, who is really interested in an efficient national defense, should also welcome this resolution as an opportunity either to vindicate the present set-up or to enable him to remove graff and bring about a more efficient defense system. As the resolution is worded, it does not attempt to strike a blow at preparedness. No military man can object to it on that basis. And yet the resolution, which was introduced on February 8, was referred to the foreign relations committee, and is said to be meeting great opposition at the present time. Since the resolution is aimed at nothing but the graft in the domestic industry, only one thing can be thought of as the problem. Directly or indirectly they are connected with or influenced by the vested interests of the industry.
