NOT WITHOUT HONOR
The opening of the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery of Art and Atkins Museum has caused something a of a furor in Kansas City and surrounding territory.
A common tendency of mankind is to admire the foreign rather than the examples of art which can be found at home. Many times such an attitude has a justifiable foundation, but the danger is that worthwhile native institutions may be neglected.
The University has a "Treasury of Atreus" in the Spooner-Thayer museum. Its works of art, from ceramics to paintings, are as fine as may be found in the middle west. The building is crowded from top to bottom with fascinating and inspiring treasures.
If you are at the University for a so-called cultural education, you should visit the new Kansas City gallery and museum. But if that is not possible, a very satisfactory substitute may be enjoyed right here on the campus.
Perhaps that is the only thing wrong with the Spooner-Thayer museum—it is too handy.
What is the joke, we wonder, when someone asks, "Have you seen the Invisible Man?"
REBOUND ON "REBOUND"
For the past several years the students at the University have voiced their disapproval in the selection of the plays presented by the K.U. Dramatic Club and other dramatic organizations on the Hill. Suggestions have pointed toward the modern comedy. This year this sentiment became pronounced, so for the December production of the Dramatic club, Professor Crafton chose to present a modern comedy entitled, "Rebound," by Donald Ogden Stewart.
The play ran all this week and good-sized crowds attended each performance. The actors drew very few laughs, only perhaps at the shady points, and practically no applause from the audience. Almost everyone who attended expressed the opinion that as an entertainment feature, the play was far below par, and there certainly was no moral lesson to be learned, so, to the vast majority of the audiences, the play was a "flop."
The great number of students who attended are not sufficiently versed in the dramatic arts to know wherein lay the fault. Was the play itself poor? Was it merely an unfortunate selection? Or, was it the fault of the amateur performers? Perhaps the blame lies in not one of these, but partially in all of them.
At any rate, the audience was given what it asked for and was not satisfied, thereby exhibiting a rather common human trait.
YOUTH FIGHTING FOR YOUTH
The annual drive for funds to fight tuberculosis is over at the University and students may well
be proud of themselves for doing their part in fighting this disease.
This year a new scheme was tried, and it proved very successful. Members of organized houses contributed 15 cents per person to the cause, and that, with the money obtained from the sale of seals and various places on the campus to other students, made it one of the biggest drives in recent years. The money spent is for a just cause. Thousands of people each year are dying from tuberculosis, mainly from the lack of proper medical care and treatment when the disease is first contracted. The only money obtained goes for the treatment of these unfortunate individuals and helps to cure many before their condition becomes serious.
Records show that the disease in the majority of cases is contracted in youth and with the youthful citizens of the country, along with the rest of the people of the nation, fighting its existence, it may be hoped that it will soon be exterminated and a healthier and stronger race will emerge.
OVERHEATED ROOMS
Student health is being protected by the tuberculosis clinic, the new hospital with improved equipment, physical examinations for entering students and other beneficial factors. On the other hand a health problem which touches every student of the University and which is given little attention is the ventilation and heating of the buildings and classrooms.
Students go into an overheater classroom after walking several blocks in the bitter cold, and naturally their body temperatures do not immediately become adjusted to the change. They no sooner get used to the heat of the room than the whistle blows and they must again dash into the cold for a walk across the campus. After this continues four or five times a day only the hardy souls possessing iron constitutions and strong resistances can escape a cold or at the least a throbbing head.
A few professors avoid such contingencies by the simple expedient of opening and closing windows at the proper times, an act that students seem curiously reluctant to perform. Others, failing to recognize the difficulty, go blissfully on with their lectures and wonder why their classes go to sleep on them.
PLAIN TALES from the HILL
One student had been telling the rest of the fellows in the Comparative Osteology laboratory before class about his new girl friend, describing her virtues in glowing terms.
When class work was taken up the subject was dropped. Everyone was working away in silence. Thirty minutes passed. Forty. Fifty. Then, looking intently at a cat's skull which he was drawing the young man sighed: "Gosh, she's sweet!" Love is like that.
Noel P. Gist, instructor of sociology, was trying to convince his class that "progress" was just a word. One student kept insisting that progress was a real thing, in spite of all the proofs offered to the contrary. Finally, Professor Gist stopped him with: "You remind me of the first time I heard there wasn't any Santa Claus."
"Of course there's been progress," one student said in a sociology class this week. "Why people in England used to go to the theaters by the thousands to hear and see Shakespeare plays, and now they wouldn't think of doing that."
"Yea," replied a classmate, "but they didn't know those plays were supposed to be classics then."

We are all familiar with the fact that there are many college graduates among the unemployed. We regard it as deplorable, yet we do nothing about it. We go to Brown, to Yale, to Illinois, to Stanford, and study to become doctors, lawyers, teachers, nurses, and engineers—all vastly overcrowded fields. We have been told and over again that the opportunities in these vocations are

Among 70 representative Washington students interviewed by The Daily yesterday, thirty-two wanted socialism—at least government control of industry—while 26 held out for a modified system. Twenty years ago, probably less than 10 per cent would endorsed socialism or my indication of capitalism.
The statement yesterday of V. H
Technologically, we are advanced a thousand years beyond our social ideals, and the average student is coming to feel that the mechanical plant and the social machinery should be moved into juxtaposition. Perhaps not by giong backward to the horse and buggy, either.
Times are changing. Rex Tugwell left Washington's faculty 15 years ago because he feared his liberal views would be checked by a new, conservative head of the school he is a member of Roosevelt's brain trust and a professor at Columbia.
He, and the student, believe in the social philosophy behind the NRA, and both will agree that the days of rugged action are limited opportunism, seem to be passing.
"A Conservative is a person who worships dead radicals."
STUDENTS STAYING IN LAWRENCE DURING CHRISTMAS SEASON,
AND SELF-SUPPORTING STUDENTS ASSOCIATION:
That there is a surplus of college graduates is by no means the answer to the problem. It is true that there is always room for a good man in any field. However, unfortunately, a college-trained man is not necessarily "good".
GEORGE O. FOSTER, Chairman, Student Loan Committee.
Colonel Walter V. Bingham, director of the Personnel Research Federation, in a recent speech declared that "sweeping remarks reveal at once a growing concern, and an ignorance of facts about the changes that have been taking place in the distribution of occupational opportunities. There are shortages today in certain lines of specialization. Trained social workers, stylists, interior decorators, coppermissers, and skilled laundry operatives, are in demand.
On the Pacific coast only the University of Southern California stands for the continuance of broadcasting the games. Eastern universities have barred it, on the ground that it drives away cash customers, and western schools are ailing for its elimination.
"There need be no surplus of occupational talents if the changing trends of opportunity are understood, proper training is provided, and young people are helped to plan their preparation for callings that will most probably be in demand. . . . Surely there is no real surplus of ability, but instead, a dislocation in the machinery of occupational distribution."
There will be a meeting in 316 Administration building at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 19, to organize for a Christmas party. All who attend the Meeting Tuesday whether working student or not, will be expected to take active part in the party.
LWRAY CHOATE, President.
The solution to the question of what to do with unemployed college men lies in their education in vocational opportunities, a field which is for some reason neglected by university authorities in particular and by society in general. Guidance in these lines is what is needed. It is up to you to find out how to engage in the youth of the country to see to it that information along these lines is disseminated in some effective manner. Who will accept the challenge? - Brown Daily Herald.
Radio has brought the thrills of the most exciting game in the world, football, to the ears of thousands of listeners who can never see a contest. Invalids in hospitals and homes, business people, and residents of remote districts have enjoyed football as it is brought to them over the radio. The radio has made the world more familiar with other medium, and it has built up in the minds of millions of young boys and girls a love for the game.
Though trends are changing — not alone here in the University among the undergraduates. Even the man in the street is entertaining views that ten years ago would have marked him as a "daneerous radical."

A New Social Outlook to Fit Our Mechanical Progress
Radio has built up a football-loving public. Personnes who hear the games over the air see them at the first opportunity. Boys in grade and high schools acquire a life-long interest in football through hearing the exciting broadcasts. To cease giving these thrill-seekers a reason to mean killing a large part of the interest the public has in football—Southern California Daily Trojan.
Calverton, contemporary American editor and author, that "We need a society in which human life is more important than profit," doesn't cause students the shock today it would have in 1988.
All of which might possibly indicate that the policies and doctrines advocated by Hamilton and Jefferson a century and a half ago may be becoming as out of fashion as the knee breeches those gentlemen wore.
Times are changing. The "radical" philosophies our campus roeds pressed upon our unwilling ears in 1928 are rather conservative and matter of fact that they were supposed to listen to theories for a planned future. University of Washington Daily.
Cut Away the Wire Fences
One of the biggest bars that stand between the intelligent student and an education is the great mass of prerequisites that he must take before he is allowed to enter any of the worthwhile courses in the university. In many cases, the only purpose of the prerequisites is to bolster up the weak elementary courses that cannot stand on their own. A more useful device uses its good courses, if any, as clubs with which to beat students to consume the departmental chaff.
If the university should take action to abolish prerequisites, it would be, educationally, a step forward. There is no reason in the world why a student should not be permitted to enroll for any course for which he feels himself prepared. If he is not prepared, he will fail to pass the course.
Of course, an energetic and persuasive student can usually get almost any prerequisite waived. The men who have the power to waive prerequisites are usually reasonable enough, but there is always a great deal of red tape in university courses where sense with that red tape—Daily Northwestern.
