AN APPROPRIATE GIFT?
The chief problem brought up in the recent senior class meeting concerned the leaving of a gift to the University at graduation time next June. The question of what constitutes an appropriate gift arose this year, as usual.
Some of the angles to be considered in selecting a donation are:
Should the group leave something practical that would would directly produce an advancement in education, such as more books in the library, or should it donate a sum to the student loan fund which might enable more students to remain in school?
Should it involve other useful conveniences such as sidewalks on the campus where they are now lacking, or add to the completion of some part of the Memorial Union, or a redecoration of some other building?
Should it make an attempt to beautify the campus by erecting a shrine that would be seen by all and bear in bold letters where all might see that this is the gift from the class of 1934, or should it go deeped and place there a monument to the revered memory of someone who is gone?
Choosing the gift is a problem that should not be taken lightly. Fees for providing for it will be raised from sacrifices from a number in the senior class. Since it is intended to further progress of some kind, either physically or culturally, conscientious thought should be used in selecting one that would be of the best use possible.
"Necking" in public is like telling a confidential secret to your best friend.
Twenty Years Ago
(Mary 2-7,1914) By George Lerrigo
The fourth annual students day was held in the Chapel. The chief item on the program was the opportunity of allowing the students to present campus problems, and offer undergraduate opinion on how the problem could be solved. The faculty turned the whole affair over to student management, even to the extent of not attending the meeting. It was also attended by harmonized医患 and the different schools held a yell content as added features on the program.
That dormitories will become a part of the University of Kansas within the next two years was assured by a statement of Chancellor Strong concerning a fund being raised for a women's dormitory. This fund was just recently backed by all women's organizations in Kansas, assuring its success.
The chairman for the committee to raise necessary funds was Alberta L Corbin, of the German department. She reported that the sum totaled 9,000 dollars at the time of this support.
Chancellor Strong says, "Dormitories are the only means of getting the ideal community life in the school. They also set a standard of price for accommodations, and of living. Social regulations can be more easily enforced and discipline maintained."
Warrants for arrest of all members of the Men's Student Council were placed in the hands of Lawrence police by James Mitchell, city attorney. The warrants charge violations of the city ordinance which forbids anyone to tack placards or advertisements of any kind to any tree, telephone or telegraph pole without the owner's consent.
The warrants charge that pastebore, placards were posted concerning a dance sponsored by the Men's Council on Adams street. The action was taken particularly because of an editorial charging the police with negligence in enforcing its ordinance and others similar to it, according to authorities.
That cities will soon be governed by superintendents trained in sociological theory and practice by the universities of the country is the opinion of Prof. F. W. Blackman, head of the department of sociology, here.
Professor Blackmar says that the next form of government will be after the commission form and that the city will be governed by a city manager. The manager will be selected by a group of elected governors, who will, however, have small part in the actual city governing.
"The present system of bicameral government has fallen into disrepute in progressive cities, and the commission plan will soon be accepted."
Campus Opinion
I like the series of editorial articles you have been running in the Sunday Kansans. It seems to me that such editorials are appropriate for Sunday morning, when we have more time than usual to read the paper. It is very interesting to be informed of the attitude of someone who has given international matters some intelligent thought, (and who, I might add, does not in the least resemble the regular Kansan editorial writers!) I was, however, a little puzzled by Professor Ise's contribution to the column on "The Coming Dark Agents" last Sunday. He paints the most morbid picture one could imagine. I could almost feel the world come crashing down about my head, and he has me so wrought up about national and international affairs that I step out of the door expecting to hear war drums or witness a massacre.
Are things really as serious, and have I, being merely a more or less unintelligent student failed to comprehend their significance? Or has Professor Ise expressed himself a bit dramatically about the decline in civilization which he seems to expect almost any time now?
What perplexes me is the question of whether Mr. Ise truly foreseees the dire circumstances he paints or whether he wishes to startle the student mind into a stray thought or two of its own. Td be interested int knowing his real stand on the matter.
Also I'l like to know more of his opinion on the remedy he seems to suggest for a half-dead world, socialism or communism. Won't you ask him again some day to explain more about what he really thinks instead of dealing in such generalities? LT.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The small audience which saw the modern dance concert last night, and the dissatisfaction which some of it afterwards expressed, are two conspicuous revelations, it would appear, of the lack of interest on this campus in anything new or experimental, and the lack of information as to what to expect when exposed to present day forms of artistic expression.
This indifference to the new is not condemned or deplored; it is simply pointed out. How much is missed by holding steadfastly to the worship of the old is not known. Certainly an opportunity for a new experience was missed through failure to see this particular recital.
For the modern dance as exemplified by Ruth Glover was not the dance of Shan-Kar, Ted Shawn, Mary Wigam, the conventional dance dance, or the ballet, classical or modern. Natural movements of the body, instead portrayed the ideas. Rhythmic flow of the action of the group and the subordination of individual personalities to the group, in order to express "absolute" were, therefore, necessary. Yet the want of action in some of the numbers confused the audience at times; in "To the Sun" and "Out of the Night" was his true.
The work of the group most enthusiastically applauded "In Flight," was an expression of the commonplace, the flight of an airplane. No music was used in this interpretation. The mood of the opera is that of a portrait of satire on the stage "chorus" in this number showed effectively one element of superficiality in the city.
That some of the members of the group seemed to the audience more capable than did Ruth Glover is of slight significance—the fact of importance is that she and her group succeeded in what they set out to do.
Of course, the world can go on without a great number of University students having seen a modern dance concert, and perhaps it is a question

DRAMATIC CLUB:
Mr. Browne does admit that everything is quiet in Germany and that employment has increased, but he only mentioned the Krupp works. Why not all the other industries? He creates the impression that the manufacture of machines is the thing that Germany busy now. But Krupp makes also agricultural implements, machinery, and steel for a multitude of purposes.
whether Kansas University students should catch up with the present age, and realize for instance the struggle necessary, as seen in "In the Shadows" number of last night; but the fact remains that University people should at least be informed—W.G.
There will be a meeting of the Dramatic club Thursday night at 8 o'clock in Green hall. All members wishing pins bring one dollar.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Nabbi Browne's lecture here recently was one of the best I have ever attended—in regard to his delivery and wonderful diction. Such a gifted speaker cannot fail to make an impression on any audience.
In his closing remarks he admon-
ished his listeners to be dubious and
critical of everything. He could not
speak about it, advice with the
subject of his address.
He ridiculed Hitler's methods of swaying an audience and yet employed the same "oratory trickery" himself which he condemned in the German. First of all he endeavored to create the impression of absolute fairness and "subdued prejudice" by stating that Germany was no more responsible for the World war than any other country. Further he stated that if it were necessary to destroy all the Jews in Germany to save the other 99 per cent of the population, he, a Jew, could not object.
With equal "subdued prejudice" he then starts his attack, but with a vocabulary that is certainly far from subdued.
He is also very clever in mixing truth and personal opinion in a manner to escape the uncritical. But let us take up some of his statements. For example he said that the German inflation was due to a number of crooked industrialists. But who was the reiterator? The real interest at the time? None other than the minister of finances, the Socialist, Austrian Jew, Severing.
GENE HIBBS, President.
To say that "Hitler's earliest followers were the peasants and city slum" is inaccurate. They were the better class youths of Germany, students mostly, and animated only by patriotism and nationalism. The peasants and farmers were the last to fall into line with his storm troopers, and they, like others "decent people" were not forced to carry certain "not true that the whole population would be for any open minded and really unbiased observer will tell you that Hitler has the almost unanimous and enthusiastic support of all classes.
not permit to bring up the subject of Socialism. But you must have noticed how eloquently silent Mr. Browne was on this subject. There is a reason.
on this subject. There is a reason.
I think Mr. Browne tipped his hand a little when he advocated the boycott of German goods. That is the avowed aim of certain organizations in London and New York. But we are supposed to do that "for the sake of civilization." I think we read these words before? Think I think, think, and as Rabbi Browne himself says, be duall.
