FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1933 "TT TAKES REAL COURAGE" In Berlin last summer, Dr. Sherwood Eddy "dumfounded a representative gathering of German officials and leaders of business and the professions," by frankly describing the opinion of the world in regard to Germany's persecution of the Jews. The quotation is from the New York Times for July 21, 1933. Although he acknowledged the achievements of the new Germany, Dr. Eddy courageously condemned the denial of "liberty of thought, of conscience, of speech, of the press, of association," which he found evident in Germany. Sherwol Eddy is utterly unafraid of speaking the truth as he sees it. When he comes to the campus tomorrow, the University will be able to witness the courage with which he faces the dangerous, delicate subjects of international affairs. Inept is a nice name for "dumb." GET OFF THE PODIUM Perhaps So! "Dwelling in a world of 'makebelieve' instead of reality, mankind has not yet even fully heard the opening theme of the great symphony of being, in which every note speaks truth, beauty, and harmony." —Dr. Charles S. LlicHTer, dean of the graduate school of the University of Wisconsin, as reported by the Christian Science Monitor. But man has heard the incidental music of fighting, eating, drinking; of lustful desires and bright lights, and burning the candle at both ends. And he has heard the descriptive passages of bird songs and moonlight and love; and of soft voices and magical living in the blue half-light under trees at night. Man has felt the tremendous joy of being alive when the great morning sun climbs like an incandescent piece of bronze high in the sky and the far fringes of the eggshell dome are deep blue speckled with cottage cheese flecks of cloud, whether it looks upon a field glittering with silvered weapons, on a meadow of hay to be cut, or upon a rolling sea to be crossed. He has heard the deep boomnote of the bittern in the north forests, the sound of the horn coming from the tuning noises of the great orchestra preparing to play this "great symphony of being, in which every note speaks truth, beauty, and harmony." All is disharmonic in the sounding of "A." The woodwinds and the bass fiddles do not balance each other, and the trombones erupt to mar the warm raspiness of the violas. The clarinets pour forth their colorful flood under the shadow of the rumbling tympani, and the oboe and bassoons squawk dismally. The world is in a hell of a shape. But it keeps going, and to some of us poor lost souls there seems to be some music in the rattle-de- bang tuning-up for the great symphony. We'll all be dead, no doubt, before this work, which will make of Beethoven but the merest appoggiatura, begins. So, while you great souls who are certain to grasp a note of the ultimate harmony hold your ears to keep out the sound of the tuning-up, we'll boldly sound our "A." AN ACTIVE ENEMY "The tuberculosis problem affects every student directly because one active case on the campus may expose a large number of students." Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the student health service, recently told a group of students. A sale of Christmas seals has been started to obtain money with which to guard against this menace. Not for the relief of "China's teeming millions," or the "starving Armenians," but for you and your fellow students is this money being raised. The sale of Christmas seals has always been generally, but rather indifferently conceded to be a fine thing. However, the element of personal benefit was too slight to make for much enthusiasm. Now, Dr. Cante son has brought the project down to a personal application. "To provide adequate clinics for the prevention of tuberculosis at the University of Kansas," reads a campaign bulletin. This makes it the business of every student to see that the project is successful. SAFEGUARDING ACHIEVEMENT Two striking viewpoints on the success of prohibition have been pointed out by Albert Shaw, editor of Review of Reviews, in an article on the repeal of the amendment in this month's issue of that magazine. He points out that political life has been rescued from the domination of liquor interests which had grown to the size of "big business" in 1919; and that the temperance movement was amazingly successful in point of the almost entire elimination of the daily degrading scene of drunk men lying along the streets. When prohibition is weighed in the balance of truth and fact, the viewpoints of Mr. Shaw will be acknowledged as accurate. But prohibition is an institution of the past in America. Had it belonged to the older European countries perhaps they would have braced and renovated the weakening institution much as they do for centuries to their crumbling buildings. America, with the impatience of youth, has torn down and totally discarded the 14-year old institution in the same characteristic manner she has of treating architecture. But that is beside the point, for prohibition is no more in the United States. The point is that liquor is still here, and with the cap off the bottle of consumption, the old liquor problems arise. With them arise two new ones that carry with them still greater responsibility. These are the two successes that prohibition has made—the breaking of the political domination of liquor interests, and the abolishing of drunkenness as an ordinary and common condition. The question is: are these accomplishments pointed out by Shaw to be safeguarded under new temperance legislation, or will they be allowed to revert into the evils that they were before prohibition? Our Contemporaries VICTIMS OF A RACKET? "The crude, the boorish, the culturally insensitive will not be tolerated in the near future, though he flaunt a dozen diplomas. The world has had too much of the coarse and sordid. . . ." VICTIMS OF A RACKET? Thus does Ralph Cooper Hutchison express himself in his recent statement declaring that universities constitute another "great American Racket." President of Washington and Jefferson College, Dr. Hutchison decries the fact that many students are being attracted to colleges by visions of financial and social OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN There will be an official meeting of the Kayhawk club Monday evening.

FRANCES BALLARD, President. advancement rather than for a furtherance of enlightenment and culture. In part we can subscribe to Dr. Hutchison's ideas, but in part we must emphatically disagree. To his statement that "there has been a falsification of accounts, misappropriation of student activity funds, boisterous appropriation of property, petty theft of athletic equipment and a widespread system of secret commissions and pay backs from companies selling student supplies," we can but hang our heads in shameful admission. But we can say, and with authority, that students are awake to what has been going on and are definitely cleaning up the mess of the stuff past and in the present, the totality of student morals is the prototype of the morals of the populace in general—no more and no less. However, to the learned Doctor's expression that the universities are themselves promulgating a "great American Racket", we respond with the feeling that he is not being at all fair to ever the average institution—to say nothing of the better than average universities. Judging from the requirements which we must fulfill before we receive a degree, we can hardly be in accord with a statement to the effect that we will not have earned our diploma. and we know that Pennsylvania is not unique in the loftiness of its standards. We at this University are by no means victims of a racket. Finally, we would inform Dr. Hutchison that at no time have a diploma been enough of a balm to society or, more particularly, to employers to induce a toleration of "the crude, the boorish, the culturally insensate." Of course students are being attracted to college by "visions of financial and social advancement" and they are to be commended for their aspirations. In the right university they will be shown that "enlightenment and culture" are indispensable to the fulfilling of their ambitions.—The Pennsylvanian. Current Screen Storm at Daybreak, with Kay Francis, Walter Huston, Niles Ashlee, Phillips Holmes, and C. Henry Gordon, is built around a powerful story of a woman who loves one man and is married to another. War and nationality differences combine to keep the two lovers at a difference, and it is only the husband's sacrifice of his life after he learns the truth, that brings the picture to its inevitable end. The film ran yesterday and today at the *Patee*. Excellently directed, well acted and well photographed, Storm at Daybreak makes the most of its possibilities, and turns out to be a very excellent picture. Kay Francis handles the lead with a smoothness and understanding ability that makes her performance an inspiring one. Walter Huston departes from his usual "straight" role to play a character part to perfection. Asher, Holmes, and Gordon, in minor roles, easily reach the acting standard set by the two stars with the former probably the outstanding of the three. While it may not have the popular appeal of a good many Hollywood productions, Storm at Daybreak is nevertheless truly great. It achieves greatness not because any one feature of it is outstanding, but because all features are equally good. It is a picture without a flaw. Charles Laughton is the show in *Private Life of Henry VIII*, now playing at the Varsity. Without his fine acting the picture would be monotonous and dull. For the producers neglected their opportunity to develop the character's wives, and thus lost a good deal of the potential effectiveness of the show. Most people have at least heard of Henry VIII and his six wives, and a larger number have probably read accounts of his life. Therefore the story is not new, and the hope of the producers to make a hit picture lay largely in the portrait of the characters. For this they relied almost entirely on Laughton, instead of letting the first Anne prove that she was ambitious, the second Anne that she was wily, etc. The wives, in the order of their accession, are: Catherine (does not appear), Anne Boleyn (Mere Oberon), Jane Seymour (Wendy Barr), Ann Howard (Bimma Lancaster), Katherine Howard (Bimma Lancaster) and Katherine Parr (Everly Gregg). Perhaps the best scene is when Kim Henry is told of the unfaithfulness of his fifth wife, Katheryn. Audiences seem to like Henry's belching, of which they should soon be getting enough.
