ALF LANDON
Alfred Landon was inaugurated as Governor of Kansas at noon yesterday, and the state wishes him well. His keen judgment and honest policy will fit him to lead the people of Kansas through the economic difficulties which have arise. Governor Landon cannot steer the ship of state unassisted, however. The situations arising from the present economic conditions which he will have to meet will call all his own initiative into active play, and he will need the moral support of his people to succeed. The depression has sharpened people's nerves and made them unduly critical and quick to judge; this was illustrated in the last political campaign. Today, Kansans cheered while their chief executive was being inaugurated, but will they turn against him in a few months because they cannot always see his motive for acting?
Let us hope Kansans will back Governor Landon with their faith and confidence, nor judge him too harshly. With such support, success should be inevitable.
RETRIBUTION
A recent Kansan editorial suggested that the freshman could never return to his original naive state of mind once he had passed through that harrowing period known to collegians as "final week." Such illusions of college life as he may have gained from the movies will of a necessity be blown to the winds and his babyish ways will be relegated to the past forever.
True, Kansan, true! Give the graduate students the amen corner and let them add their two cents' worth: "We say, freshmen, old dears, you can't stay babies all your lives, and besides who'd want to? Just think of the fun you'll have next semester playing bogie-man to that new bunch of beginners. You can say to them with us, 'You better get down to work or the final man'll get-chat!"
ATTENDING COLLEGE ON A SHOESTRING
No longer is every college student considered the son of luxury; no longer is he thought to be the possessor of the proverbial golden spoon. Rather, it is recognized that the college student is suffering as much as the average citizen in this depression-shattered world, if not more. Funds for education come from the difference between income necessary for living expenses and total income. It is this surplus which has been lopped off the income of most families.
According to a questionnaire presented to 65 colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, many students now attending college have cut their expenses to the minimum by living in poor rooming houses, cooking their own meals, and eliminating all luxuries and costly amusements. Another large group is staying in college by borrowing money to be paid at some future date. Some are even attending class and not buying books. Dean
Riverbent of Bucknell university says, "There are too many men who are trying to live from week to week. They have a pint of milk and a slice of bread for breakfast and one meal a day."
Co-operative boarding houses as another means of beating the depression are rapidly springing up over the country. Under this system many students are living for less than one dollar a day.
Such sacrifices for an education are to be highly commended. One wonders, however, whether an education at the loss of one's health is desirable. Perhaps stay out of school with the possibility of earning money in order to return and finish at some future date would be a more advisable course.
LOVELY SPRING WEATHER,
ISN'T IT?
These clear warm days that the new year has brought to us can't be any other than those of spring glorious spring with its days of young life and roses and flowers and lazy hours of idle planning and day-dreaming.
Those luxurious moments spent in future days and years, when all the world seemed good and pure and clean! Those were rich bits of stolen pleasure; short journeys into a land where depression, poverty and war had no place—only the best, those things that bring joy and happiness, were permitted.
There we go dreaming again
Tomorrow morning probably will
wil bring snow and ice winds. An
then finals are just around the
corner. No, it isn't time for spring
DO IT NOW!
There are twenty-four hours in every day, seven days in every week, and so on, infinitum. One minute today is of equal value to the same portion of time tomorrow, although values are continually changing. Price values jump up and down and play a highly skilled game of "hide-and-secure" with prosperity and depression, keeping everyone guessing as to what is coming next. Social values, as characterized in modes, fashions, conventions, and taboos, do not remain the same from one generation to the next.
While all other values are changing, the criterion of time remains forever the same. A minute is always a minute. Consequently, one is forced to realize that the last few minutes before finals are of absolutely the same value as the minutes before the Christmas holidays, and even before Thanksgiving. Then, why is it that students save their work until the last few minutes before the sound of the final gong? Suppose a time budget were put into effect and, as a result, each student should adopt as his policy that old, much-worn, but still very practical phrase* “Do It Now!”
With "Do It Now" s the motto of every student, term papers would find themselves miraculously coming in on time. Reports and reviews would be started before the last-minute rush. Final time would no longer be the critical time in a student's life but would be only a necessary ordeal to mark the close of another eighteen weeks of work.
If you don't, develop it and find out how much more interesting life can be when living consists in something more than a set of mere physical experiences and sensations.
Do you use your imagination?
If you do, be proud of it, and make it play a large part in your life.
What a drab place this world would be if we had to take life just as it comes to us and not be able to color it a bit with our aircastles and day dreams.
HOW'S YOUR IMAGINATION?
True  hese fancies of imagination probably will not make many millionaires, nor will they contribute much to this over-materialistic world, but they will help to make pleasant this daily business of living.
After much discussion and investigation, a committee has submitted to the student body a plan whereby every student attending the University will participate in the university books which provides for all types of entertainment. This plan has been suggested to make possible the continuity of cultural worth while afterwards of cultural value.
Campus Opinion
---
Editor Daily Kansan;
The question now arises as to the fairness of such a proposition. Should a student who has no desire to attend many of these entertainments skimp and save in order to balance his budget because he has to pay $13 for something for which he has no use? Others say such a plan is all right because the individual will have access to all the activities and that it is his own fault that he receives us upon whose word he has received something for his money.
In prosperous times perhaps such a plan would meet with immediate approval, but now it would seem to be an unfair obstacle to put in the path of the student working his way through school or of one who is having a hard time making both ends meet. If the majority of the students had wanted it and they did not need for the present trouble, which is lack of financial backing, for they would have purchased these books without compulsion.
If such action is adopted it may easily be compared to a blanket tax which is paid for by all and from which only a small per cent derive benefits—EL.
The Campus Muse
TO A SEACAW
Creature of the lonely deep,
Unsinging, never her pen's book;
Immortalized then would have been
As skylark, daskifol, or wren.
Because thou locket an effegeate,
A fluttering delicacy of form.
The art spurned as inspiration
For the lyric, impassioned, warm.
Who will say there is no romance
in basking leisurely in shallow scas,
Browning weed in submarine pastures
Regaled by tropic sun and breeze.
Who will scorn a maternal love
That puts all obstacles to route,
The comradeship and social spirit
Shown by this beast of blunted snow
So, hail to thee, ungainly dugon,
Beyond thou bird then never wert:
Bereth thy generous rind of blubbe
There beats a noble heart!
My apologies to literati with deep beautiful voices.
-Carl Peters.
Flying clouds, blazing sun,
The beauty of color when day
done;
The perfect symmetry
Of bush and tree;
The stretch of plain
Which never has lain
Neath summer skies;
The bird which飞es
Before the storm;
The mountains torn
And rocks and ridges
Oh, what are bridges,
And buildings and such?
Not really so much?
That they should be
Compared to these
That God has wrought
—Norman Jacobshagen

From the Activity Fee Bill--
Here Are the Options Offered by the Kansan----
Each student will be entitled to receive a transferable subscription to the University Daily Kansan which he may use in any one of the following ways:
1. DIRECT TO THE STUDENT HIMSELF. Delivered by carrier to the student's address in Lawrence, or to any other address in Lawrence designated by the student (with certain minor restrictions as to delivery area).
2. FRATERNITY RUSHEES. Fraternity members may have the Kansan sent each day to a list of prospective rushees changing the list from time to time throughout the year. This should be an important help in making a good impression on the rushees.
3. PARENTS OR RELATIVES. Many students now subscribe to the Kansan to be sent home to their parents, or possibly to a sister or brother who may have previously been at K. U. Under the proposed plan a student may order his paper sent by mail to any such address.
5. BOUND VOLUMES OF THE KANSAN. Groups of students such as organized houses may secure a complete bound file of the year's Kansans suitable for the house library, by surrendering four regular subscriptions and making arrangements at the beginning of the year. Many fraternities and sororites in the past have bought such volumes.
6. FILES FOR CLIPPINGS. Some houses have scrapbooks and need papers to keep these books up to date. The Kansan will accumulate a file and permit the house to use it for clipping at any time desired. Current papers are frequently lost before they are clipped.
7. HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY or High School Student. Many K. U. students will be glad to send the Kansan to their former high school libraries or to some high school friend.
Organized groups of students will find the plan particularly advantageous because of the various ways that they can use the papers to which their members are entitled.
4. SWEETHEARTS OR OTHER FRIENDS. By mail or carrier, according to location in Lawrence or outside.
Every student will find one of these options meets his need.
For example, a house of forty members might use its papers as follows:
Delivered by carrier to the house under paragraph 1 ... 15
Saved and accumulated by the Kansan for clipping under paragraph 6 ... 2
Surrendered for a bound volume for the library under paragraph 5 ... 4
Sent to parents or relatives of members under paragraph 3 ... 7
Sent to sweethearts and others under paragraph 4 ... 4
Sent to prospective rusheshe under paragraph 2 ... 8
Total number of which houses would be entitled ... 40
Total papers to which house would be entitled ...40
