Returned as second copy, December 17, Business Office, Lawrence, Kansas TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1932 BETTER CATCH UP There are only about three weeks of school before the Christmas holidays. After the holidays comes the "dash down the stretch" before the examinations for the first semester. The three weeks before Christmas afford the student who has fallen behind in his work an excellent opportunity to catch up before he must abandon all else in favor of intense study for examinations in February. The student who is looking ahead will devote himself to making up before the holidays all work in which he is behind. CHILD LABOR In our search for methods of alleviating the present economic condition, we have too often searched for new ways rather than considered the more obvious and glaring abuses of the time that have caused the condition. Political leaders have conceived many ways of providing occupation for the ten million unemployed adults of the country, these occupations varying from pork-barrel postfixes to the reopening of breweries. Only recent attention, however, has been given to an easier, more logical, as well as more humane, method. Two million children are gainfully employed in the United States and thereby deprived of educational opportunities, while adults, many of them perhaps the parents of these same children, are without work. The National Child Labor committee has recently announced a widespread campaign not only to substitute adult for child labor, but also to increase educational opportunities, rather than curtail them in the interests of economy. Now, if ever, longer schooling is necessary to relieve the overcrowded labor market and to give vocational and social training. We Americans certainly trust one another. Even President Hoover cannot make one of the grandest gestures a retiring executive ever conceived without being suspected of attempting to hoist the failures of the Republics upon Franklin Roosevelt's shoulders by identifying him with the President's decisions. DAY DREAMERS Everyone at some time in his or her life is a victim of that incurable disease called day-dreaming. During this period, important errands and duties are completely forgotten while the individual fantastically builds castles. In moderation, such dreaming is beneficial. It is a play of the constructive imagination and without constructive imagination, there can be no high achievement. But what a blessing it would be if there could be a set time for day dreaming which would make the individual's habits of learning most effective and which would be the least annoying to others. The adolescent child often loses a great deal of the classroom instruction while dreaming. Incidentally, the same applies to many college students whose minds do not as yet dwell on the more practical schemes. WHY WAIT SO LONG? It's a peculiar thing, and hard to understand, but it is a fact that persons rarely correct a political evil until a danger faces them. Not until the recent outrageous endorsement of two candidates for the supreme court of New York by Tammany Hall did the voters of that city express their disapproval of the Hall methods by casting 135,000 or more ballots for Joseph V. "Holy Joe" McKee, and now, Democrats ashamed of the outright rightly corrupt practices of their party, and Republicans seizing their opportunity, they are presenting a united fusion front for the 1933 mayoralty campaign. One wonders if the New York instance will not have its effect in boss-ridden Kansas City, Mo., controlled by a machine such an astute political observer as Frank R. Kent terms "second to none, including Tammany." Just now, work on the city beautifying plan financed by the $10,000,000 bond issue virtually has halted as certified public accounts examine the books of the persons in charge of the construction work to determine where the money spent thus far has gone in response to a charge by Republicans that the public is being misled. The Republicans charge exhorbitant sums are being leveled for use of machinery on the jobs furnished by Democratic leaders and their henchmen. But the Pendergast-Shannon-Welch machine is firmly entrenched at the city hall, and, following the recent election, in the state capitol. It will be interesting to note how far the machine will be allowed to go before Kansas City awakens to the menace. Everyone is glad the holiday, are over so they can catch up on their sleep and get a little rest, now that classes have begun. These vacations are hard on the constitution. WHY APPLE POLISH? Nearly everyone hates to see a definite display of apple polishing. But isn't there a difference between merely currying favor and becoming acquainted with instructors for the purpose of getting to know and understand them. After all, most teachers are human beings, and they desire and deserve to be treated as such. The students' aversion to apple polishing has been carried to such an extreme that the average student is wary of being seen with an instructor for fear of being ridiculed as a polisher. The valuable contact between student and teacher has been lost because of this foolish attitude. The student is the greater loser. If the students would go half way to meet the professors on the grounds of friendship and understanding, there would be a greater feeling of sympathy for each other's problems on Mount Oread. "Oh, I can hardly stay awake." "Gosh, I wish this class would end. I have never sat through such a dry and uninteresting hour." AFTER VACATION HANG-OVER "I don't see why I didn't stay in bed and sleep, instead of coming up here to sleep," and so the idle clatter goes on the morning after vacation ends. A glance around the room shows approximately fifty per cent of any class nodding like daffodils in a soft summer breeze, while the other fifty per cent are slowly opening their eyes or slowly closing them either in preparation for a good yawn or after the conclusion of one. No one understands or appreciates the class room work, so why have it? A young woman editorial writer was looking through the proof sheets. Not finding one of her pre-Thanksgiving efforts, she said: "I wish they'd print my hangover." And they advocate longer vacations! Why not an added day of holiday to recover from the vacation?

Campus Opinion --- Editor Daily Kansan: --majestic temple or a mere hall depends upon the builder. Editor Junky Kobras I am merely a freshman, and per- meeting drives to write will ecm "untraditional" to the meronic upper- classmen members of the K club and other "tradition" enforcing organizations. However, I suggest in addition to freshman caps that the sophomores be made to wear red "cord's" with blue stripes; that the juniors be forced to wear blue stripes; and that the seniors be required to wear red sweaters with blue K's on them. Also I suggest that the faculty be the welders of the paddles, since the greater number of swimmers are uncomfortable barbarian custom and more barbarous enforcement. N.A. Editor Daily Kansan: Physical beauty can be, and too often, a curve in its possessor. Fields, fielding friends can easily wreak up the reasoning of an Adonis or Venus, but the physical beauty of would be thera or the asking because of their physique ud, or facial beauty. But, what of time to come, all too soon, when through relentless age, or by accident, physical beauty is lost. Then will he, whose life is constructed from the heart of his world crash about him into the most daumal heap conceivable by man. That person whose life is full and rich from careful, painstaking study and reading, and association with greater minds, whose conversation is clean, meaningful and well-loved, others for whomthers who is a friend in need and a willing audience to the troubles of others (a sort of father confessor if you please); that person is truly beautiful. His mind is beautiful, his very soul is beautiful. He is not corrupted, not come, be it age, accident, or malicious attack, he shall always be beautiful. Our mortar must be rich with the very best line of application, and the sand of comprehension must be fine with much sifting of discussion. Then we must add enough of the cement to make the mortar strong and durable. University training should be as much broader than mere book learning as the world is broader than Mount Oread. It should teach us how to build! What we learn from books is the mortar we use to hold together the stones of experience we gather from our daily struggle with life. The stones for our building are often rough and sharp, and may cut in deeply before we have succeeded in placing them, but after a few hours they will blend into the whole quite neatly. Some of our stones are uneasy and shameless, so we mustbury them in some hidden wall, no less important or necessary because of their After many weary years of gathering stones, building and rebuilding, our structure is ready to display when lo! before the eyes of the world stands our masterpiece the work of a lifetime the great edifice wisdom. Whether it be a Multitudes of builders shall fall by the wayside while gathering stones. Some will be struck down by the stone they attempt to gather. Too many will see their nearly completed structure crash before their eyes and then they will be contentful in a hovel, hiding in the shade o some great structure. Where but the world will stand, in awe and reverence, trusting their all to its stability; is before that magnificent temple constructed after weary years of gathering and litter- ing; is before that ancient fortress com- pletely compounded mortar of unim- beachable quality materials. A quite partial viewpoint with regard to the proposed tea dances was expressed in a campus obituary in the last Daily Kansan published before pickupable quantity fellow What of your temple fellow builder? R.H.U. Editor Daily Kansan: In the first place D. S., the author of said article, can not rightly say that the present system of 7 to 8 o'clock dances permits organized houses to become acquainted with a major day of students on this campus do not belong to organized houses, and consequently do not have a chance to attend these hour dances. It is true that these dances are part of the friendship among fraternity and sorority members, but they are entirely lacking in bonding the entire student body together. D.S. does not realize that the University is full of as many unorganized students as there are organized ones. In the second place the proposed ten lances, should they turn out as the mid-week varisity has, would be any thing but defeating the purpose desired, that of extending acquaintances and friendships. The mid-week varisity will be the most diversionary functions carried out on this campus, and it has worked wonders in breaking down the barrier between the "rich man" and the "poor man." Before the mid-week varisity was created, these factions, the women, had to act fast. Now, everyone will admit, that distance is somewhat reduced. Despite the fact that the Wednesday night varisity is crowded and acquaintances and friendships hard to cultivate, they are being caused through those lances, the student body cannot help but develop a common interest which will bind them more closely together and make this a democratic school instead of a war field. D. S. asks in his last lecture that the students in character and results to the Wednesday night varisity? I certainly hope they would. Now, I do not mean to oppose fraternities and sororities, and I realize their hour dances mean much to them socially, but I do feel that they, with the W.S.G.A. and the Men's Student Council, have an opportunity to improve existing conditions by sacrificing some of their individual pleasures in favor of the University as a whole. The stand taken by the Home Presidents Association, and other members of the University, all are not fraternities and sororities organized better to carry on, among other things, student activities?
