Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas TUESDAY, MARCH 6, 1934 HE RESTS The flame of youth flickers and the night grows chill. Courage falters, smiles fade into tightened lips, sobering questions come to torment the mind. The world is not the charming playground of a day or two ago. Charles Deardorff raised the screen that separates this world from the next and stepped quietly away. His motives or the manner of his departure should not concern us so much as the thought that life as society has made it was somehow found wanting. That a young man with all of the ability and promise with which Charles Deardorff was endowed should take his life seems a needless pity, a loss which we, his friends, mourn deeply. SPRING PRACTICE Already the first gun has been fired in the current spring political campaign, with the recent signed statement issued by the leaders of the Oread-Kayhawk party, and it promises to stir up an unusual amount of interest. Coming out with their declaration two weeks earlier than the opening blast of last year, the leaders of the Oread-Kayhawks have declared themselves to be definitely against the compulsory student activity ticket. Contending that the ticket had received a fair trial, and had proved unsatisfactory to the best interests of the students, the statement stressed the idea that many students were handicapped by it and gave consideration to no alternative but abolition. Because of the difficulty of securing accurate and reliable statistics on the financial condition of students, this is not a good assumption on which to base a condemnation of the activity ticket. It seems wise to allow time for the operation of changes either recently made or suggested to be worked out before scrapping the whole thing. Machinery has been set up for regulating the ticket and the eliminating objectionable features, and some changes have already been made. With regard to exemptions to the activity ticket, a statement was issued that students who had applies for exemptions could attend the lectures and musicals and if the exemptions were granted, the ticket would be pro-rated; that is, the students would pay for those activities that they had attended on the basis of the single admission to each activity. This takes away one of the objectionable features of the ticket. Inasmuch as the CSEP necessarily took up the time of the activity ticket committees, the latter were forced to hold their meetings late. It is possible that time may prove the leaders of the Oread-Kayhawk party to have been right, but it seems best to let all doubt concerning the value of the ticket be settled in the minds of the student body by giving the plan a thorough trial. It is to be hoped that the activity ticket will not be used simply as a political football, but that the viewpoint from which it is considered will be broad enough to have the best interests of the students in mind. ATHLETIC UPLIFTS Athletes have again brought recognition and honor to the University with last week's sporting events. Two championships in one week make a record equaled by few universities anywhere. The events, the assurance of the Big Six championship in basketball, and the winning of the indoor track championship at Columbia, turn sport fans to admiring the outstanding men in these sports, although it is not a new thing for the University basketball team to win championships; this is the fourth consecutive victory. Last week's track meet in which Glenn Cunningham played a prominent part by breaking two records, is the first indoor championship since 1923, though many outdoor meets have been won in that sport. The University is suffering no depression in athletic laurels this year. PROGRESSIVE ACTION A definite step forward was taken by the Men's student council in the decision to make an investigation of how to better the enrollment procedure. The council should be commended and backed by other organizations in the action that it has taken. A recommended action by this group cannot become very effective without student support. The council deserves and should have all the help that can be given it. Do You Know? --determine your enjoyment of the show. We believe, however, that QUEEN CHRISTINA is easily superior to any of Garbo's former pictures. That Governor Afl Liondon spoke at the Methodist church Sunday evening? That L. N. Birkhead, Kansas City pastor, spoke at the Federation meeting at the Unitarian church Sunday evening? That the Westminster A Cappella choir presented the first of their spring recitals Sunday evening at Haskell Institute auditorium? That about 300 persons attended the dance recital presented by Ruth Glover and her group at the University auditorium. The program was sponsored by Tau Sigma. That Lewis Browne, who lectured at the University auditorium Friday night is the author of "This Believing World," and "The Trouble With Fiction," and "Blessed Spinoza." That Professor Hollands in the philosophy department can easily read and fluently speak German, French, Latin, Greek, and Italian? That the chandelier to be installed in the Memorial Union ballroom soon are to give about 50 different shades from the primary colors, red, blue, and yellow? That there are to be reflecting rods to reflect the colors of the clothing of the dancers? That there were about 100 dates at the Women's Pan-Hellenic party Friday night, and that they were about 100 stags? That there is to be a conference with Kirby Page, internationally known author, writer, and speaker at Emporia on the subject of "Living Credentfully?" Photographically the picture is good. The scenes at court and the tavern scene are among the most striking, with Greta Garbo as the central figure in all of them. The number of close-ups is unusually large, but, to confess, we like them. The lively scene at the inn gives us a view of the crude happy life of the seventeenth century common class of Swedish people. Current Screen Those who are familiar with the historic facts concerning Queen Christina will profit by their knowledge when seeing the picture QUEEN CHRISTINA now showing at the Patee theater. Garbo as the Queen, John Gilbert as the Spanish envoy, and Lewis Stone in role of Chancellor, give equally good roles. Garbo is shown in many moods. Poor acting shows up in several scenes. The peasant who begs Queen Christina to retain the crown is given a difficult act to put over without appearing unnatural, and the role taken by Elizabeth as a maid-in-waiting seems artificial. We won't bother to tell the story Whether you like Garbo will probably OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Notices due at Cancellor's Office at 11 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11:30 a.m. on Saturday for Sunday issue.

Indeed, most of them were striving desperately to save their chapters from disaster. Several organizations on the campus have passed out of existence, have been amalgamated, or have lost their houses because they invested too heavily in the boom period of the late 20's. Those which have survived are those which MARY ELIZABETH EDIE, President. K. A. C.

Our Contemporaries George Raft does some dancing in BOLERO which far surpasses in both quantity and quality anything he has done hitherto, at least in pictures. BOLERO is now playing at the Varsity. The survey covered 1070 chapters of 49 different groups and represented more than 65 per cent of the total membership in such organizations. The significance of the survey indicates that more than 85 per cent had reduced meat and food diaries. The most drastic reductions and the most numerous were those in the matter of meals. This was accomplished by taking advantage of the low food costs which was one of the significant effects of the depression. That Greek - letter organizations throughout the United States are becoming more and more economical in their expenditures for necessities and luxuries of life was revealed by a nation-wide survey of college campuses by the National Interfraternity council. Raft is not a gangster in this show, but a dancer, and still he maintains the hard gangster look to which the fans have grown accustomed. It is not clear whether the director thought that the public demands this facial expression, in which case it is a matter of poor discipline. The film has wore it, in which case it is poor acting. Those who saw Raft in All Of Me will have difficulty in believing the latter. Sally Rand may be good box-office attraction, but for our part she might have been left out of the picture to good advantage. Anyone can stand on a stage and wave a couple of fans about, and we'd better than the much-buhhly hooed Rand. CUTTING COSTS California Daily Bruin BOLERO concerns a young coal miner who is filled with a consuming desire to become a famous dancer. He gets a start in a New York beer garden, but his Napoleonic ambition soon sends him to Paris. There and in London he reaches the top just when the war comes along. He volunteers as a publicity stunt, hires a female model, drags on for months and years, and he comes out of it with weakened heart and lungs. He dances the Balero only once after he returns. One of his chief worries is that his partners are always falling in love with him and he must dismiss them. Finally he himself tumbles for Helen (Carole Lombard) who incidentally does a good job with her part. The course of their romance is erratic, and constitutes one of the better parts of the show.
