Entered as second-class matter September 19, 1910, at the office at Lawrence, Kansas WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1933 FINALS COMING ON That balmy spring weather was to be regretted. Naturally it is to be supposed that the weather man would have some consideration for the poor student who had left all his work until the last weeks before finals. But here came the sun and a flock of lovely moonlight nights—that irresistible "blanket weather." (To an outsider that might sound contradictory, but most University students are expected to understand.) Although library attendance seemed to be picking up, yet a glance at the strollers, the "ockers," and a look along the country lanes made one wonder. What was to be done? We just sat and prayed for snow so that we could make our grades. And now—well, our chances are improving Eugene O'Neil is noted for his lengthy plays and compared to "The Fall of Old Snow Hall" his works resemble minute movies. MUST BE PROPAGANDA A debate on the prohibition question held recently by the young people of one of the Lawrence churches brought to light some humorous defects in reasoning common among people today. The negative side, that is those who favored repeal of the eighteenth amendment, maintained that if the sale of liquor were made lawful, the existing grain surplus would immediately be taken care of. In the next breath they suggested that the government might just as well withdraw its attempted prohibitive interference anyway because, as a matter of fact, more intoxicants are being bootlegged now than were ever sold when the saloons were legally wide open. The question naturally arises: If so much liquor is being sold now and has been sold during the past few years, why do we have the grain surplus which now exist? How can we expect the sale of the beverage to do something in the future which it has not done in the past? And after all, if interference of the law plays such an important role at the present time, how can we count on its removal having any marked effect on prosperity? The champions of beer really should get together when they are distributing propaganda. Too often the argument of one pro-beer plus the argument of another pro-beer equals nothing—except a laugh. We thought wind storms were a Kansas product but Senator Huey Long is proving that the state of Louisiana has propensities of that nature. FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE TYPISTS Have you ever tried counting sheep when the person in the room next to yours is typing at 2 'clock in the morning? Well, it doesn't do any good. You can get up and try reading a book until you get sleep again, turn out the light, get in bed . . . and still you can't sleep. That pecky-peck-peck just beats a rhy- dhimical rat-tat-tat on your mind until you catch yourself keeping time to it with your foot, and if the typist stops for a few minutes, you wait impatiently for her to begin again. Then you recall that somebody said relaxing helped you to go to sleep. After spending twenty minutes getting in the correct position to relax, you discover that it hurts your back. Then you count sheep again. There is absolutely no way to remedy this condition except by removing the wobbly leg from the table and resorting to your primitive instincts. And if she makes a fuss, we'll help you! ILLUSION Huge grey stones crashing with sickening thuds to a once faultless stretch of landscape—plaster showering in blinding clouds from turrets which only yesterday reared their proud pinnacles toward the sky—hoarse cries from men watching the destruction of a picturesque Gothic structure—an airplane zooming overhead. War? No—just an impression of the wreckage of Snow hail as viewed from a window in Fraser A POLITICAL COMEDY A comedy scene from that great American stage success, "Political Behavior," is being enacted in Washington at this time. The famous showman Huey Kingfish Long is cast in the leading role. To date this sterling troupper has given a practical example of what the old theatrical expression of, "stopping the show" actually means. It is a performance that has left the audience weak and helpless. The audience at this time is made up of two sections—the public occupies the galleries and the senators sit in the reserved-seat section through the use of complimentary tickets furnished through the courtesy of the American voter. As has been said before, this is a good show but the plot is rather outworn. At present the desire of the public guns toward such plays as "Efficiency" and its sister work "Economy." Already the critics may be detected shaking their heads rather sadly, "If it were 1928, this would equal Jimmy Walker's best," they remark sadly. WHAT WILL IT DO? That congress should persistently oppose President Hoover in every step he attempts in the line of duty as the head of the American nation, is regrettable, especially in these days when harmony and co-operation are essential factors for the good of all. The bill for the independence of the Philippine Islands which the House and Senate have passed, over the president's veto, is a further example of the persistent opposition of Congress to the president. It was to be hoped that the Senate, from whom the final verdict came, would be mind-minded enough to consider the opinions and judgments of those in a position to know the situation thoroughly, either because of intimate contact with the Philippines or OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXX Wednesday, Jan. 18, 1933 No. 88 A short important meeting will be hold this evening at 8:13 o'clock.

Secretary Stimson, a former governor general of the islands is in such position, as are other cabinet members. These men with President Hoover advanced against the proposed measure. But what of it! Carrying supplies for prospectors, a plane lands on the ice at Island Lodge, 360 miles north of Wimberland, Canada, to care for those who hit the trail with their aircraft. --members of the W.S.G.A. (both past and present) get in with their dates to all the vans? I realize the members should receive some compensation for their work, why should they be got in. They haven't done any work so why the free dance for them. The boys admitted free in this manner are generally the ones most able to pay. In other words our class pays for their dancing and I thought Santa Claus was a myth.-Harde E. Wampler. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Last Friday night the University was treated to the Sophomore bop, but being the Thirteenth it was our unhucky night. Three hundred dollars was paid for the college course for publicity. The amount token in was less than one hundred and eighty dollars; a loss of two hundred and dollars. It may be illogical, but if we are going to lose money on the dances, why not let the student gets the money we lose, and why not charge him? It's a matter of quarter. Of course somebody will say, "We tried it but we lost money." Maybe they did but I knew they could not lose two hundred and ten dollars. I'm just socialistic enough to believe that it is better for the University to have paid two hundred and ten dollars, couple than two hundred for a dollar twenty-five. The students will gain and nobody will lose. The Campus Pest He is the type who talks of nothing else but how hard his finals are going to be, how much time he is spending studying for them, how much he plans to study for them, how hard it is to study for finals, how he doesn't know what he's going to ask, is going to ask, but bet they're to touch one, how hard he is studying for finals, how much he has to study, how hard it is to get books at the ii- Now with finals becoming almost the single thing in the thoughts of University students, a particularly perplexing situation has allowed himself all too evident on the Hill. --bury now that everybody else wants to use them too, how hard he is studying and how hard he is studying. To those of us who try not to think of the impending trial, this constant reiteration of the fact that there will be final examinations, and, that in all probability they will be tough, is disconcerting, to say the least. For doesn't this pest know that he shouldn't talk so much about HIS finals and how hard he is studying for them—for doesn't he see that that doesn't give the rest of us a chance to tell about sure! These Are Busy Days. So many find the food better and the convenience of staying a great help in preparing for finals. Why leave the Hill? Try eating at THE CAFETERIA On Other Hills The librarians at Alabama A. and M. confess that slips of memory by students and professors are very amusing. The loan librarian said that one young worthy called for the book, "Get It and Keep It." Upon being asured that there was no such book, he collected his flightless wits and said she had a copy. Then he an absent minded professor asked her to put "Chase and Sanborn" on reserve, only to find that he meant Chare's "Your Money's Worth." Stanford authorities have ended the romance of canoeing on their campus. Under a rule recently put into effect, no young lady is allowed to be rescued by the hero who has accidentally overturned the boat. Hereafter all girls are tested in swimming and life saving before they are allowed in a canoe. 2. ___ Signs on the corners of Washington and Jefferson college read: "Please walk on the grass." The president, Ralph C. Hutchinson, explained that he was more interested in the grass and that he was more interested in the students than in the lawn. According to statistics, bad checks were passed at the University of Missouri at the rate of 75 a day last year. NEW CLASS NEW CLASS in SHORTHAND and TYPEWRITING Starts Feb.

A grocer puts out a price-tag on a barrel of potatoes. A ticket broker advises you that he sells "the best seats for the ball game." ... These are all forms of advertising. Along the highways the motorist reads as he goes. "Fresh Eggs," or "Dahlias and Gladioli," or "Newly Picked Raspberries." ... These are all forms of advertising. Few Englishmen of the Middle Ages could read, but each one knew a goat from a bull, and all could therefore pick their favorite hostelry by the sign it displayed. By the costumes of the attendant priests a Roman could tell whether he was entering the temple of Adonis or Pallas Athene. Some hundreds of years before that a man named Joshua, the leader of a tribe of Jews, knew where to storm the city of Jericho because a scarlet cord hung from a window in the wall. . These are all forms of advertising. In each of these cases a sign of some sort told people what they wanted to know, where they could buy something, where they could get some special sort of information, where they could avail themselves of some special type of service. Advertising tells you exactly these same things. But advertising is also a business force. It has been organized. Its results have been tested. Its value is known. To the consumer it means shopping news. To the consumer it offers information of pleasant, agreeable ways to live. To both consumer and merchant alike it is a civilizer, because it spreads information. Advertising is as much a part of your life as your telephone, your food, your business or your family. . . Indeed, most of these things are possible, partly because of advertising! The scarlet cord still hangs from the wall of Jericho. A
