FLAUNT FLAUNTED;
FLOUT FLOUTED
There comes a time during the term of every editor of the Kansan when he must perform a pleasurable duty that each editor who has gone before him has performed, a time when he must carry on a tradition that apparently will continue forever. That, of course, is to catch some venerated member of the press of Kansas or Missouri in a misuse of the words "flault" and "flout," and to call his attention to it with mixed feelings of self-satisfaction and righteous indignation.
The incumbent editor has waited patiently through almost his entire term of office, and was just beginning to experience a doubt that he would be called upon to carry the torch of his predecessors. But no! This morning, on the second page of the Kansas City Times, in a story at the top of the second column, a headline boldly—but oh how erroneously—declares "Coal Code Is Flaunted."
And so, with an air of bored resignation that fully expresses the spirit welling in his breast, he points out once more to the Times and to whomever else it may concern that no less an authority than Webster gives the following meanings to the words: flaunt—to wave or flutter showily; flout—to mock insult, or treat with contempt.
"Fight Three Worms" declared a Journal-World headline recently. We hope they got all three.
THE TASK AHEAD
One wonders how sustained and the Youth movement now on foot in Kansas City to break the Pendergast machine and all corrupt party organizations like it in the city will be. The movement now is a sincere demonstration of an aroused citizenry, but how long will it remain so? How long will energetic leaders be able to make any considerable progress against the entrenched politicians and how will they meet their preliminary defeats? Will they strive onward to build an organization sufficiently strong to crack the evil machine or will they fall one by one by the wayside as leaders of such movements have done in the past?
The formulas of Landon Post, one of the men instrumental in the defeat of Tammany Hall a few weeks ago, as he gave them to Kansas Citians in a series of speeches last week were on the surface simple, but the task of putting them into operation will be more difficult. The success or failure of the movement will depend entirely upon the people. The challenge to every man and woman of voting age is clear—they must continue to unite to defeat the purposes of organized, corrupt, office-seeking bodies.
America has recently crushed two of the prime evils which she could have wished to crush, but her task is only partly completed.
The sweeping assaults on Tammany and the Vare machine indicated what a united wholesome voting strength could do. The Kansas City Youth movement would seek to build up such a union of voters, but it will need more than the good will and the reserved sympathy of its people if it is to succeed. Its success will depend upon the co-operation of every man and woman who is affected and every citizen outside of Kansas City who is interested in the welfare of his country's future.
THAT MID-WEEK BREAK
The temporary absence of Wednesday night dances emphasizes the enjoyment they offer. Many students have been overheard saying that they wished the work on the Memorial Union ballroom would soon be completed. So it was with a glad feeling that they read the announcement yesterday in the Kansas that the ballroom would be reopened February 6.
The Wednesday night varieties are social amusements available to a great majority of the students on the Hill, particularly those whose pocketbooks do not allow them to attend other dances. Then too, the dances afford these persons the opportunity to have dates when it would not be possible otherwise. For the more fortunate students who have no such financial difficulties, there is the advantage of having a "break" in the middle of the school week and throwing them together more with their fellow students.
The reopening of the ballroom will undoubtedly be well greeted, as a large percentage of the students attend the dances. The Wednesday evening hour dance is possibly the most popular amusement offered by the University.
CWA AND EDUCATION
Educational institutions are benefiting from the flow of federal money to the aid of civil and public works.
Constructions long desired may become realities; improvements and equipment long needed may now be secured.
Some of the colleges and the states are paying as they go; some are planning self-liquidating projects; others are spending to take advantage of free grants of government money.
Here are enumerated a few of the projects now going into effect in the central United States:
University of Indiana: a $23,000 project of which $24,000 for labor for the completion of the Memorial Union; 42 workmen at work decorating and painting campus class rooms and lecture halls;
University of Texas: a $1,633,000 project from PWA for construction of a new Main Building-Library extension. $433,000 of this is an outright gift, and $1,200,000 is to be a loan secured by University fund bonds;
Iowa University; a PWA grant of $57,000 is to be used toward erection of a $150,000 "Law Commons", new dormitory for law students.
Oklahoma A. and M.: a $14,000 construction of new greenhouses, the cost divided between the state experiment station and the CWA*
It is unquestionable that much good can result from placing much of the federal aid money on constructive educational programs, when allotted for the benefit of students, school, and the public welfare.
At the University of Kansas,
there is a possibility of a public works grant of $10,500 on Dyche,
to be used in conjunction with a $25,000 appropriated by the state
Educational institutions will benefit to the extent of the free grants; the rest must be paid for eventually.
Obviously, these constitute only brief surveys of educational grants

and the names of the various rooms at
the proper place?"
Every door bears a number—the exit is "Room 202" but every student must learn by word of mouth where the periodical room, and the browsing room, and the education room, and the reserve room are to be found. A few labels would save much time for library attendants.

Twenty Years Ago
(These items are condensed from stories that feature the Daily Kansas in Jan.
The University Daily Kanan began a campaign to discover student opinion on how much attention the students of the areware. Would ten o'clock pupil be allowed to music? How should attendance be improved?
A ballot was printed in this issue of *Kansas*, an all that was required of the senator to vote on a ballot, and dropping it in the University office. A ballot was made up of the sformentaion's votes.
In this issue the president of the W.S. G.A., Miss Maud Loury, issued a positive statement disapproving of the womens' engagement to the "Social engagements," she said, "that the school days except Friday and evenings of school days except Friday evenings and for evenings preceding holidays."
The Jayhawkers defeated Ames 38-22, in a hard fought basketball game. "Lefty" Sproul, and "Van" Van der Ries were high point men for Kansas scoring 18 and 12 points respectively. The Crimson and Blue took the lead in the first half, but none of this half, 24-8. The Aggies came back in the second half with a strong driving attack and at the end of this half each team had scored 14 points.
KANSAS' ATHLETIC PROWESS
Our Contemporaries
Kansas by the award for 1933 of the premier rank in amateur sports of Glenn Cunningham of the University of Kansas, has carried off this honor for two successive years, the award having gone to Jim Bausch last year. Both were trained and turned out by the University, which itself therefore takes high rank as a training school in amateur athletics. The award is made by vote of 600 leading authorities in sports and goes to the amateur athlete who "by his example and influence has done most during the year to advance the cause of sportsmanship." Cunningham's 13 victories in 13 starts in Europe probably was the decisive factor in winning him this year's award by the narrow margin of one vote over Bronchron, the Princeton track man. Last year Bausch's victory in the Olympic decathlon at Los Angeles clinched
his title to the award. The president of the international Olympics, a Belgian, in fact, declared him the greatest athlete the world had ever known. With these honors and the award to a Kansas student, he became one of the United States, Kansas can take pride in its new generation.—Topeta Daily Capital.
University of Kansas boys won the James E. Sullivan athletic award two years hand running, nevertheless it is not very surprising that the University Kansan newspaper calls it the John L. Sullivan award. Whoever heard of James E. Sullivan?
