TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1934 ABSOLUTELY DR. LINDLEY! Chanceellor Lindley's proposition to the federal government that it divert part of the CWA funds to give financial aid to needy students meets with the hearty approval of the Kansan. Whether the Daily Kansan suggested the idea for this project or not—and of course there can be no doubt in anyone's mind that such was the case—and editorial last fall advanced similar arguments for such government aid. The editorial which appeared in the Nov. 1 issue of the Daily Kansan was entitled "Paternal Government" and is herewith printed in part: "But there is another class of young people who need help and are just as much entitled to it as the young men in the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). . . Many of the admirable young men and women are in school trying to improve themselves so that they may be better fitted for whatever position they may have in the future. Not a few are having a desperate time staying in college. "Here, it would seem, is a deserving group of young men and women. They are making the best of a difficult situation, offering no menace to society, but quietly preparing themselves for the future when times are better. But because they are acting so saneily it is not likely that the federal government will ever realize that they need help. "For many of the self-supporting students the battle to remain in school is a constant torment. No course offers them as difficult a problem as that of how they are to pay the week's rent. Study competes with worry in the mind of the undergraduate. "As long as the President is helping one class of young men, why should he not lend a hand to deserving students who are fighting their way to stay in school rather than quitting in despair and adding one more to the ranks of the unemployed? In aiding young men and women to continue their education through some sort of student loan fund, the government would not only be helping the employment situation, but it would be insuring a competent group of future citizens and leaders." At last the depression-stricken boy friends have found something about finals to be thankful for. It's quite in order now to take your date to the lib- -new instead of to the show. WINTER WEATHER? With the fickleness of a school girl, the weather has shown in the last few days a moodiness of nature that has left the weather man in a quandry with his predictions. Gentle south winds, misty rains, sunshine through a thin veil of clouds, a starlight night, a grey wet morning, and a snowy noon—all this weather in twenty-four hours. Who has said that nature is the great example of law and order? A JUNIOR LOOKS AT SENIOR ENROLLMENT Too good for the rest of us, the mighty College Seniors have been removed from the jam of having to enroll with the common herd. Having completed the first three years of greenness, sophistication, and jollity this year's graduating class has at last received recognition for its struggle. Dignity, the outstanding quality of a college senior, has finally been awarded to its members. The inevitable has happened, these seniors have been allowed to enroll early. Without the aid of several hundred squirrifying students to push them through the door, without the usual collegiate back-slaps, and the hearty handshakes these dignataries are supposed to get their programs planned early. No doubt the weight of this honored position falls quite heavily upon their shoulders, at present. But after all, what's enrollment without a slap on the back and a nudge in the ribs? Jealously, undoubtedly, is foremost in our minds. But perhaps we too will live long enough to be seniors. And speaking of the "Back to the Farm" movement, have you happened to walk down the campus past Ad on a damp morning? GOLD AND THE FUTURE Every day the word billions confronts Americans as they attempt to follow the intricacies of their government's monetary policies, yet the very vagueness of it all is as confusing and distracting as the advertisements of the untold billions of germs that can be killed by a small bottle of antiseptic. These self-same billions of dollars of gold, however, have an even more vital meaning to college students of today and the next ten years. Vague as they may be now, incomprehensible as they may seem, these billions of debt and billions more in interest must, strangely enough, be paid, not by those incurring them, but by those unfortunate who must assume the responsibilities of citizenship in future years. The process of reasoning by which such an obligation is foisted upon the generations of the future is all very complex and vague. Much of it is completely unfathomable. The only concrete, certain fact that can be gleaned from the whole situation is that sometime the day of reckoning will be at hand. Current Screen Chorus girls on the wings of airplanes are only one of the distinctive features which mark "Flying Down To Rio" now playing at the Patee as something more than just another musical comedy. Opinions may vary as to the real merit of the show, compared with "Footlight Parade," or "Going Hollywood," but it cannot be denied that something new, unusual and decidedly pleasing has been produced. The music is good, the plot clever, and the dancing—well, the advertisement did not exaggerate when it announced that the Carioca was the "most sizzling and sensuous Tango-Rhumba ever conceived." You'll enjoy the evening. If you don't like anything else, you'll go for Ginger Rogers when she sings in, such true Rogers manner," But Music Makes Me Do The Things I Never Should Do! !!" To Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers go the comedy and dancing honors. As the dance team with an American band they furnish real entertainment. Dolores Del Rio as the Brazilian heroine of the picture looks so convincing that she wouldn't have to act, but does, very creditily. Gene Raymond, the big blonde band leader who loses his heart (and his job) when the little girl from Rio happens along, upstairs, and the band for having an ordinary good look—and little else, but he doesn't need anything else! Paul Rouille, as the girl's flance, is too considerate to be true, but it makes a nice story. Once again we have a chance to see Ann Harding at her best. Gallant Lady, now showing at the Varsity, is the one that the public has been waiting for ever since her successes in "Double Harness," and "When Ladies Meet." At the first of the picture Miss Harding is convinced that life is hopeless because her lover has been killed in an airplane accident. But she is talked into starting over again by Olive Brook, whom she meets in the park. Mr. Brook has never failed to help to make a picture. He knows how to act in the right way and he does it. He plays the part of a bum, who was once a gentleman doctor, but because of a misfortune, took to bumming.

But every little while he shows up and gives her plenty of advice. Meeting Thursday at 5:30 of all men eligible for swimming competition. HERBERT, G. ALLPHIN. Otto Krueger, a new personality on the screen who is fast becoming very popular, plays the part of the man who adopts Miss Harding's baby. To be near her baby, Miss Harding decides to marry her to be married and marry him. And some very interesting events result through her advances. The stand of the Tribute is particularly ill-advised. It claims to be "definitely opposed to the merger" because "more property will be placed on the tax-free list." Chicago citizens, directly or indirectly, provide the greatest proportion of the revenues of the two institutions. This comes either from endowments, or is from tuition paid by local students. Dickie Moore, who plays the child part ranks right up with the elders in the story. His acting by far is the most realistic of the movie children. Our Contemporaries The announcement that negotiations were under way for a merger of Northwestern and Chicago universities were premature. Nevertheless, it has brought forth many comments. The fact is that until the complete plans are revealed, no intelligent judgment can be made. Students, alumni, and even the Tribune, should suspend judgment until all the facts are presented. TWO INTO ONE? As President Scott pointed out, two universities working for the advancement of the same locality, and drawing their funds from the same region, should cooperate with each other. The extent to which this cooperation could be carried is a matter of calculation. It is being studied at the present time. These facts please suggest that should suspend their words until the facts can be fully studied; then and only then can any intelligent opinion be given. cheaper education for the sons and daughters of Chicago citizens. Most certainly, this would more than compensate for the slight loss in property tax revenues. Moreover, the two institutions working as a unit could no doubt provide not only a cheaper, but also a better education for its students. The Tribune should consider this factor before arbitrarily stating it is "definitely opposed to the merger." When the preliminary plans are presented, it will be time to discuss the proposal. However, we should give those at work a chance to study the situation, and present their plans. Then, rationally consider the desirability of the judgment. —The Daily Northwestern. STUDENTS IN POLITICS Differing from the average sightseeing groups who make Washington one of their pet centers of activity and from the boys from back home who have political axes to grind, were the groups of college students who visited Washington during the Christmas holidays. One group consisted of the ordinary, tea-drinking assortment of college activity leaders who found this adventure into politics somewhat of a lark. They handed Mrs. Roosevelt a bouquet of roses, passed several resolutions, grasped more, and had a grand ball and banquet. The other group, representing the librarians in the Amherst College of today, came to express their opinions to the government on a number of subjects in which they were vitally interested. Secretary Wallace, addressing them, told them that the youth of the United States was too smug, too complacent, and too self-satisfied. He denounced college football as a racket, welcomed them as fellow liberals, and praised their interest in the affairs of the government. Federal Education Commissioner Zook told the other groups that college students were "too darn docile." He said: "They are too easily bossed. They don't create enough problems for the college and universities." Amazing words these, from Secretary Wallace and Commissioner Zook. More amazing still, the reception given the liberal group. Try to imagine a group like the second being welcomed to Washington two years ago with the status of "fellow-liberals." It is significant and granting that Secretary Wallace said "liberals," not Democrats. We are undergoing a revolution in government and economies. It is encouraging to see the government reaching out a helping hand to the liberal leaders who would make the college more than a place to make the team or get elected to an honor society.-Michigan Daily.
