Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1934 With every stroke of the clock, history is being made. So rapidly are events exploding, and so broad are events occurring. An undergraduate is hardly in a position properly to discuss these momentous happenings. The Kansan realizes its limitations, and consoles themselves by writing to the campus who are qualified to write on such subjects. In order to clarify the situation, problems and events which are shaking the campus are printed here below the first of a series of editorials, for which it has asked from people of authority, in an effort to ensure that the tremendous events taking place today. THE PLIGHT OF AUSTRIA By Prof. W. E. Sandelius Asked by the Kansan to comment on the trouble in Austria, one might say that the world has not yet clearly emerged from the conditions of what a French commentator on the policies of Europe calls "the confused year of 1933." So rapid are the current events of national diplomacy and of international relations, and so intricately involved in the domestic affairs of states, it would seem utterly foolish for anyone to pretend to have seen at all clearly the next turn ahead. At the moment, Austria is rather in the midst of it all. Her parties and their policies are dependent considerably upon the external relations of the country, and these turn upon currents and cross currents of conflict, both national and of class. The groupings of parties in Austria are essentially three, or perhaps four: the Socialists, made up mostly of Social Democrats of a rather advanced variety; the Austrian Nazis, in close touch with the South German Nazis; and the Christian Social Government of Chancellor Dolfuss, the last supported by the Chancellor's own Catholic Christian Social party and by the thoroughly proFascist heimwahr which corresponds to some extent to the German Stahhelm. The Government has been carrying on by means of a rather rigid dictatorship and without much regard for a parliament that has been full of discussion. It has sought to enlist the help of the Pope and of Mussolini in resistance to a Nazi revolution. Despite the similar programs of the Nazi and the Italian Fascists, Mussolini, fearing a too great German power on the northern borders of Italy, has so far refused his aid to the Nazis, and has supported the Government of Dolfuss. England and France, too, have encouraged the little Chancellor, although the present royalist tendencies of his support must be less pleasing to these powers than to Italy. At the same time, Dolfuss has tried to heal over the feud that has caused so much bitterness between Germany and Austria, and although his government has aimed primarily at the cultivation of Austrian particularism it must be remembered that Austria is of course fundamentally German. The population of Austria, at least until recently, has been about one-third Nazi, one-third Socialist, and the remaining one- third of the parties supporting the Government. Favorable to the latter has been a reaction on the part of industrialists and intellectuals against what they regard as the crimes and the mistakes of the Nazi movement. The industrialists, moreover, have been anxious to get a loan from Geneva. Among the Nazis are a large proportion of the professional classes and of the smaller tradespeople. As for the Socialists, whose leaders are said to be mostly Jews, and who have a dislike for Dolfuss only less than that for Hitler—the Socialists think that the party of Dolfuss should have joined with them in opposition to the Nazis, but this it has been estimated, would have sent perhaps two-thirds of the Patriotic Party over to the Nazis. The strength of the Socialists is to be found not in the country districts but in Vienna where since the war that party has been responsible for one of the most enterprising of city governments in Europe. What would be the consequences if the dispute in Austria should issue in a successful Nazi revolution, the heimatsplock of the heimwahr having reached some kind of compromise with the Nazis? The internal revolts in Austria may be easily imagined. The effects on the international relations involved would be more difficult to judge. The difficulty of keeping the peace in Europe might be seriously increased. The new German penetration toward the east, so influentially advocated in Dr. Rosenberg's book or "The Future of German Foreign Policy," might seem to France and her allies to be altogether dangerously on the way toward fulfillment. In all probability Hitlerler would try earnestly to aver the coming of war, at least within the next two or three years. Ye France, in fear, might easily mean to strike before Germany is ready And Italy? Not long ago Italy seemed almost wholly on the side of the revision states. By now she is closer to France than where she recently stood, holding as it were a kind of balance. On the other hand, Poland may not be near to France as a few month ago. It is reported that Germany has offered to Poland, certain contingencies, Baltic an Russian territories. England is in a trade war with France. More complicating still are the venture of Hitler to France (if his word are at all sincere): "We stay the eternal German march to the South and West of Europe and turn our eyes to the East "We are prepared to treat wit France." France seems not convinced. Yet is the most immediate dangers can be restrained shall we see before long the state of western continental Europe more and more inclined to liste to the warning from some quaters that Europe must stand as unit if she is to take care of he self on the larger stage which centers in the Far East, and when Moscow, Tokio, and Washington are said to be already much concerned with the larger stakes But this is only one of the possibilities that include in their scop so much more than-Europe. It to be hoped in the meantime that the peace machinery can be repaired to catch up some groun recently lost. Campus Opinion At last I feel that I have found one good reason why the present Student Activity ticket plan should be abolished. Too many students are attending performances who obviously attend only because they have been forced to take a ticket and not because they are interested in the program being presented. Editor Daily Kansan: Last night I attended the presentation of "Distant Drums" in Fraser theater, and although I had realized that University audiences could be extremely unappreciative, I had not, until then, thought them to be utterly rude and without any comprehension of the qualities which better drama possesses. I think that I have never attended a performance which was so marred by inopportune distracting noises and the OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN There will be an A.I.E.E. meeting Monday evening at 8:30.

The Kansas track team showed good form and was strong in every department. Captain Hazen was a consistent point winner for the Jayhawkers, annexing 18 points, and was the high I am not a moralist, but when Robert Cunningham as the Rev. Williams led his pioneer company in the Lord's Prayer, I felt that the giddy members of the audience should have been able to restrain themselves. What if the young man's voice did have a slightly peculiar tremor in it? In brief, if the compulsory activity plan is encouraging the attendance of persons at University programs who do not know whether Browning was a poet or a new brand of dye, then it is proving a detriment. On the other hand, it is high time that some University students did something to prove that they deserve the right to be called civilized -M.H. Two young ladies who sat behind me carried on a conversation throughout most of the play, which was neither interesting nor instructive, and a young gentleman in my immediate vicinity proposed rather too loudly to his date that they repair to a cafe and sip sodas. All of this would have been bearable with the director or co-ordinator helped to spoil some of the more serious moments by laughing shirly just when anyone should have known better. A compilation of enrollments in schools over the country shows that the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences ranks sixth in size. The five colleges larger were Harvard, 2914; California, 2738; Michigan, 2520; Stanford, 1743; Chicago, 1630, and Kansas, 1630. There were other schools with a greater enrollment, but KU. outspotted them in the college. An example of this was Columbia University with 9,000 enrolled, but only 1416 students in its college. The School of iFNe Arts had the smallest enrollment here, with only twenty students. Twenty Years Ago (Feb. 16-20,1914) By George Lerrigo "Missouri (see football, track, athletics).

"Matrimony (principally a graduate course) Sometimes students are allowed to take it before graduation." The 1914 track team made its debut of the season in the gymnasium by defeating the Kansas Aggies by the score of 61. The K.U. Dictionary continues to enlighten the uninitiated on the meaning of important letters. In the February 17 issue the letter analyzed is "M" "Medic —amateur sawbones. An outcast relegated to the basement of the museum and to stag boarding houses." As a result of an invitation sent out to all clay workers by the University through its geological survey and clay testing laboratory there was a two day session of all clay workers in the state. A plan was proposed to organize into a Kansas Clay Workers Association and accepted. Professor Erasmus Haworth, of the department of geology was elected president of the association.
