Single copies, 6 TUESDAY, JANUARY 9. 1934 WHEN EAST IS WEST One of the most coveted scholarships offered to American students are the Rhodes awards. The keen competition for these scholarships has necessitated the division of the country into districts for the selection of men to receive them. The only rub in this system comes from the fact that the two candidates named from each district must have a residence there, but are not required to have secured their education in its schools. In the Oklahoma-Kansas district this year, one of the two Kansas candidates received his education at Yale and one of the two Oklahoma men chosen is a student at Harvard. If either or both of these men should win in the final selection, this district would be sending men to England who could not properly be said to represent it. These men should be candidates in the districts in which they received their education. Not only is this true, but there is also the fact to be considered that such a selection would arouse an unfortunate feeling that colleges and universities of the middlewest do not train men to be of Rhodes Scholarship calibre. This is not true. There is ample evidence in the past that this part of the country produces men of as high standards of intelligence and culture as do any others. It is to be hoped that those who judge the candidates for final selection will not unconsciously allow the great names of Yale and Harvard to weigh too heavily in their minds when making their choices. The prophets can predict from now till doomday about business conditions, but it's the profits that really tell the tale. LEST WE FORGET Up on the third floor of Watson Library is a room set aside by the library officials where students who wish to do typing in the library may do so. The room was reserved at the request of students of former years. Inquiry among the present generation of students shows that many of them don't know the room exists. It was reserved for your benefit. Use it. It is there where books are convenient and it saves many a weary trip to the library for students who are working up those wearisome term reports. Use it anytime. Just stop at the main reference desk on the second floor and ask for the key. They will tell you where it is situated. Oh, yes. . . you must have your own typewriter. A man's good opinion of himself is often not a good opinion. A JUVENILE PRANK A metal sign bearing the inscription, Stop! School Zone, stands at the rear of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house near the short cut to the campus. There is no way of finding out how the sign came to be there, but it was moved from a school zone by some practical joker, who has failed to grow up. This incident may seem funny to some people who do not realize that the removal of the sign from where it was meant to be might cause serious trouble. If there is no other sign to replace this one, a motorist, not knowing that he is running through a school zone, may strike a child who is attempting to cross the street. One who commits an act of this kind is in the class with those who steal red lanterns from dangerous obstructions to decorate their rooms. Anyone who is old enough to go to college should be able to think of the consequences of such an act before he commits it. Innocent fun is essential in the life of an individual, but he should be sure that the fun is innocent before he indulges in such juvenile mischief. CONDEMNED An eighteen-year-old youth walks jauntily from his cell, laughs, and poses before photographers, yet he is sentenced to sit in a gas chamber and be the first to die from lethal gas in the state of Colorado. There is something about this condemned criminal's hearty youthfulness that captivates a theater-going group that sees such a scene flashed with the news. On the screen, he seems to assume the romantic role of a carefree boy—a role that can not be associated with a legal killing either by lethal gas or the noose. Yet there is another scene, the twin brother and the father of the murdered man, austere, sinister, with deep-pitted emotions, that slips past almost unnoticed. Is this portrayal of youthful Walter Reppin whose life soon may be snuffed out by the state, but another instance of the romantizing of crime? Has the news screen given a fair interpretation to its public when it shows this buoyant lad in a setting of guarded walls? Such scenes raise emotions of pity, and bitterness, and sympathy. But yet, for whom? And now that we've had a new deal a lot of college graduates are wondering when they're going to start playing. Current Screen Few people would have expected Gary Cooper and Frederic March to work as well together in a picture as they did in Design for Living, now playing at the Varsity. With the excellent support of Miriam Hopkins—no support isn't the right word—it would be better to say that the three cooperated together to give a fine portrayal of Noel Coward's modern sophisticated comedy. The scene is laid in France. Two young men (March and Cooper), one an artist and the other a writer of unproduced plays, meet a girl commercial artist (Hopkins) on a train going into Paris. Both fall in love with her, but she, instead of choosing one of them, proposes to live with them both on a sexless basis. Her visit to their apartment to work out this arrangement makes a very humorous scene. She is to be a "mother of the arts." But soon March goes off to London to supervise the production of one of his plays, and the arrangement ceases to be platicon for the two left in Paris. When he returns and finds Gilda alone there is another alteration in the scheme of things. She carries a fellow named Plunkett, but at the end of six months is ready to be a "mother of the arts" again. Design for Living is a most interesting production and should prove especially so for students of current trends in drama. Judging from the laughs of the audience, Joe E. Brown in Son of a Sailor, at the Patee is hilariously entertaining. "the boy with the open face" gets under way in his usual modest, retiring style as "Handsome", a bragging gob of the Navy. He gets into the usual prize fight with the champ of the navy, and after the usual ridiculous clumsiness cops the championship. He gets shore leave in his naive way and with a pair of baby shoes in tow tells his usual lies, with them as a basis, to the usual string of girls. It is the result of an unusual coincidence that he is brought by a granddaughter to a retired Admiral's country home where he is, as usual, very OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN The annual A.S.C.E. banquet will be held Thursday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 at the Colonial Tea room.

A weekend party is in progress. A plot is on foot to steal the plans for a robot which guides planes in the air from a young inventor at the party. The plot proceeds but, as usual, Joe steps in and causes the arrest of two international thieves. The fumeliest scene of the show shows Joe on an abandoned ship which is being bombed. The unusual thing about the show was that "Handsome" didn't marry the heroine—because there really isn't any. The show is typically Joe E. Brown. If you like him, you'll like the show, but when are producers going to tire of that prize fight episode? There is also a travelogue about New Zealand which is exceedingly interesting and educational. Tau Sigma will meet tonight at 8 o'clock at the gymnasium. RUTH PYLE Campus Opinion In glancing over Sunday's Daily Kansas, I noticed that plans had been formed for reconstruction of Dyche Museum. While reading this article, which explained the construction work and the amount of money which had been allotted for this purpose, I wondered how many of our students have ever made a survey of this building, or for that matter, any of our museums. We have on our campus two museums which are known throughout the country for the excellent material which they house. The Dyche Museum of Naturay History houses nearly all the scientific collections belonging to the University. These collections are grouped according to the teaching department in charge. The collection includes a large mammal collection, fishes and reptiles, an extensive collection of Editor Daily Kansan: Editor Daily Kansan: For the life of me I cannot see Mr. Puell's claim that "Captured" is a defaimation of the German people. It is true that the first part of the picture portrays a cruel prison commandment, but apparently Mr. Puell hasn't seen Hollywood productions of American prison scenes, such as: "I Am A Fugitive from a Chain Gang", and the prison scene in "Ann Vickers". In fact I doubt if Mr. Puell has seen "Captured," for the picture shows that the average German soldier and officer are not different from any other man. They have the same likes and dislikes. They are both foreign risque magazines and want someone to translate the captions for them. The things that influence the American's opinion of present day Germany are pathetic little dispatches such as "Time" printed in a recent issue which told of a Jewish butcher being arrested in Germany because he killed a cow in a Hebraic manner instead of Arayan manner. Furthermore I do not believe the average "show goer" connects the wartime German with the present day German. Unless he stops to think, they represent separate and distinct persons to him. M. C rocks, and specimens of purely Kansas Indian material. The most widely known museum, Spooner-Thayer, contains collections of the development of design in textiles, ceramics, glassware, and containers. Most important of all it contains important paintings of the American schools. There are on our campus two other museums which would prove worthwhile to any student. The Wilcox museum, the classical museum located in the south wing of Fraser Hall on the second floor, consists of full-sized plaster casts of various Roman and Grecian heroes, coins, relief maps, and restorations from various Roman structures. The Brynwood Collection of Paintings located in the School of Fine Arts, is an excellent collection of a different type. This collection consists of about fifty oil paintings, a few water colors, and pastels. These paintings are all by well-known artists. I have mentioned these various collections for the benefit of those who have not previously known of them. For those and for the ones who have known of these museums but have just neglected visiting them, I recommend that sometime in their spare moments they wonder over to one of these museums. I am sure their education will be greatly advanced. Editor Daily Kansan: The writer of this communication does not know who was responsible for the casual squib in a recent issue of the Lawrence Journal-World which had to do with the burning of a hole in an overcoat. The thing can hardly be regarded as defamatory; because although nobody seems to know about the legality of 3.2 beer in Kansas, everybody knows that it takes an awful lot more than 3.2 beer to get a law professor drunk. But the young man who wrote the piece ought to know how much he revealed about his own personality. Any psychologist could tell at a glance from reading it that the writer of it is a bit timid himself about drinking 3.2 beer; that he goes around with a girl who bawls him out if his clothes are untidy; that he has a suppressed urge to be a lawyer himself; and that probably he is associated with someone who is hostile to the law faculty. Just who are his drinking friends who flunked out of Kansas and went to Washburn is not clear. V. P. This writer's only point is that our youthful satirists ought to know that nobody can write satire without writing a sort of autobiography at the same C. W. A. Project Started A Well-Wisher, H. G. S. The grading of the cinder road on south side of campus, and the tearing out of the now useless street car tracks along the same route are the latest Civil Works Administration projects to be undertaken on the campus. The C. W. A. projects are for local unemployment relief. Dirt taken from along the street car line is being used to help fill the large hole left by the wrecking of old Snow hall. - HOT DRINKS Silex Coffee ... 5c Hot Chocolate ... 10c Hot Tea ... 5c at the Union Fountain King of Theatres HURRY!
