The Jayhawken is out, and the beauty queens have been announced. "Heavenas, how did she make it? Look at her hair." And her eye and mouth! Why, even I am better looking than that!" "She sure must have had pull." "Sure, her room-mate's cousin has some connection with the editor! They all have pull!" "And that other gal, who let her in?" "She does have nice features, but no expression and really, she is the dumbest human!" "Oh. Mary, you made the razz section!" But being catty isn't all. All the nice little girls now turn into sneakie creatures craving to see their name in print, so that they can judge whether they have been a success this year. "Say, did you read this on me isn't that just horrible? Our house really got quite a bit of space didn't it?" LAST MINUTE TRAINING Human nature was ever thus we suppose, but today the meanest person would be the one who would ask you. "Aren't you sorry you didn't make it?" There remains only one more week end in the school year, and those who have not had enough foresight and presence of mind to have their term papers, reviews and back work started or completed should have a very busy week. That spring fever has many of the students in its hold can easily be seen when one strolls down to Potter Lake or walks through the grove. The incentive to study in the late spring, is admittedly rare, but to many who need at least a "C" average—the weather had just as well be storming. It would almost be a saving to many students if the rain which usually starts in commencement week would change its schedule so as to hold us to some real comprehensive study during this last week of cramming. TARIFF MAKING President Hoover has displayed sound judgment in vetting the tariff bill which would deprive the President of his powers to effect changes in duties upon recommendation of the Tariff Commission. The tariff is one of the most complicated problems in the field of government. Only a few men may be classed as authorities upon it. The tariff bill of 1930 contained more than 3,300 items. It is obvious that no one in congress could form a just estimate of the economic effects of the most of these duties. Five congressmen have an opportunity to study the tariff question fully, and their time is constantly occupied with countless other matters. Tariff making in congress is achieved chiefly by the process known as "dog rolling" in which members agree to vote for each other's pet duties in return for votes for their own. Two widely different bills are usually passed by the House and Senate. The real bill is then easily put together by a conference committee. The present arrangement of a flexible tariff takes some of this power from congress and places it in the hands of the Tariff Commission and the President. A still more sensible method would be to delegate full authority to make and regulate duties to the Tariff Commission as railroad rates are now handled by the Interstate Commerce Commission. By this method, the tariff problem could be kept as free of politics and special interests as is the regulation of the railroads. POLITICAL "SOFT SOAPING?" By providing paper towels and liquid soap during the meetings of the Democratic state convention, the administration missed a good chance to prove to our political leaders that the University of Kansas has its troubles as well as the farmers and the merchants, and is going far in its effort to cut expenses. Soil and towels are luxuries now, but perhaps visitors are entitled to luxuries? If those persons could have experienced the "pleasure" of not having any towels or soap after a session in a warm room in which one gets hot and dirty, they undoubtedly would have made some record of the fact and possibly some change could be made in the next legislative appropriation. A WEEK KNEED POLICY? The world has not a cheerful outlook this spring particularly in the Orient. Just what is going to happen is problematical, but the situation looks dark indeed. Public opinion of the world was pretty wellited that Japan took too stringent a policy in Manchuria and China, and now a government seems destined to be formed in Japan which considered these harsh measures recently taken in the Orient as "weak kneed." Human beings are wondering, if telling the League of Nations to go hang, slaughtering thousands of Chinese, and destroying millions of dollars' worth of property is a "weak kneed" foreign policy, just what the new policy of the Japanese government will lead the world into. BONUS AND ECONOMY In all probability the proposal for full payment of the soldiers bonus will be defeated in congress, since the house ways and means committee has reported adversely on the measure, but most World War veterans are not complaining. They realize that although the country, it would be likely to seriously increase the financial strain on the federal government. Many soldiers are opposed to the bonus bill which has been before congress during the past month. Few war veterans will complain at its defeat, but they do expect congress to take definite and serious action toward economizing in the expenditure of public money in other ways also. The recent 200-million-dollar economy bill has been emasculated. Congressmen are inclined to shout, "We want economy! We must economize!"—and then do nothing at all or else pass a juicy piece of pork barrel legislation. Some soldiers are for the full payment of bonuses now. They undoubtedly are not a greedy lot, utterly lacking in common sense, but believe that they were paid their full adjusted compensation now, business would be stimulated by a procedure whose effect would be analogous to a controlled infiltration of the currency. Let congressmen economize first in their own offices and then consider seriously and in a nonartisan way all legislation involving the expenditure of public funds. Then their entire constituency including the ex-soldiers, will back them. After 25 Years of Motion Pictures Films for Education Just Developing A writer in the New Republic reminds us that after almost a quarter of a century of motion pictures films for education are still a third of the revenue they generate, elaborate efforts to make films for the classroom have come down at hat to just about nothing; and the same three decades of educational groups for other schools. This is undoubtedly true and a just criticism of the whole situation, but there have been reasons for this situation which have been hard to overcome, and which are being rapidly resumed. The directors have been interested only in giving the public pictures for entertainment because the public will pay to see this type of film, and it costs money to make motion pictures. Furthermore the motion picture engineers have spent their time in developing cinema-in-theatre for the theater, and this equipment is now suitable for educational pictures. Film for the theater has now become pretty well standardized, and motion picture engineers are beginning to turn their attention to another field, that of the 16-milimeter (the size is 35 mm) film which is most suitable for film production. The 16-milimeter film was originally intended for amateur home movies, but it is rapidly moving more into professional hands. Because the film used in the 16-milimeter work is safety film, which will not harm, it is possible to use it in any school room, small auditorium, or public gathering place. These small, portable films can be printed such a high degree that pictures may be shown to an audience as large as We have seen just two people who could move an audience from the back of the house to fill the empty seats in front; one is the Chancellor, another is the convention, and the other is our Chancellor at a convention. 15 On the Hill Years Ago Face powder hasn't gone up, but it is high at that. A good substitute for ordinary face powder is theatrical face powder. It lasts three hours longer users have found and it is just a good. This method is more refined than the old way of sneezing in the flour barrel. May 18, 1917 "Yes, I think it's possible for a student to attend the University on $240 a year," and George O. Foster this morning. "American women are a lot more foolish and extravagant than men. They are the shaves of fashion, and would rather be dead than not in style." Swimming in Potter Lake it forbids until a guard can be stationed about it, according to the department of physical education. Henry Sebatt, former K. U., student now public director of Montgomery Ward and Company, will speak here tomorrow. 750, and the same equipment is equally suitable for giving a picture to a class of 10. Sound film may also be shown with some of these projectors, although this has not yet been perfected to the same degree that the theater machine has, although engineers have turned their attention to this field. Then, too, percussion performance machines is within the reach of almost every school. The man getting his hair cut noticed that the barber's dog, which was lying beside the chair, had his eyes fixed on his master at work. "I it that, sir," explained the barber. "You see sometimes I make a mistake and rip a little bit off a customer's ear." "He seems very fond of watching you cut hair." As one who endeavors to meet Neptune students on an equal plane and is willing from a personal point of view to share all privileges with them, I shall endeavor to explain for "A Senior" why I should oppose active participation in the press, the present time in the Compagnie公理 if the issue should ever arise. Starched dresses are no longer style. Starch has gone up with potatoes, flour, and beans. Skirts now are wide and whirly. "Nice dog, that," said the customer "He is, sir." With the improvements made in the equipment for showing these pictures many universities have established burrows of visual education. The University of Kansas is a pioneer in this field. The films of the bureen are available through the state who have this new equipment and it is used in teaching classes, and in some cases community shows have been given where the entire program consisted in educational pictures. The large crowds attending these pictures give evidence that people will look at educational films Editor Daily Kansan; Campus Opinion The future of visual education should look bright. We now have the equipment to show the pictures, the organization to distribute them, and also we have cameras with which the pictures can be seen. We are also fortunate of this many of the scientific experiments which are conducted by colleges and universities can be filled whereas in the past they could not be because of the cost. Virtual education has a future, but will we make the most of our opportunity. It is, as the New Republic says, a field which has not been worked upon yet. We seem desperate for the opportunity to do some research. The stigma against Negroes on the campus is more extensive and intensive than that against foreign students and is primarily an American problem. Foreign students should not be expected to share, in their desire to become acquainted with American life, the prejudices against Negroes of which --prohibition from swimming pool, trou- nicipation in athletics, from most Lawrence eating houses, from mem- berships in many professional and honorary organizations, and segregation into "Jim Crow" sections in the eifelian, and the Auditorium are evidences. Foreign students would share some of prejudices if Negro students were members of the Coopestrian club. Furthermore, the social problems of the two groups on the campus are different. Negroes are concerned primarily with being permitted to do within their own circles, the things which are now permitted to other students. Negroes are more likely to women on the campus and none of Oriental origin, foreign students, must look for their social life to direct association with American college students, with American college women playing an important part. I fear that the Cosmopolitan club would find its task of providing a medium for such social interaction difficult if not fatal to its organization; if it were to include Negroes. John W. Shively. I think that I can say that the Cosmopolitan club and most of the University community which attended the East-West revue are willing to stand whollyheartedly behind George Calloway, a humble fan from that a wholesome reprint of his humor, for movies, stage productions and popular literature. J. W. S. I hope that the barriers which exist against Negroes and foreign students can be eliminated and that they should be treated with the same white Americans. But I do not believe that the problems of the two groups should be mixed in attempting to achieve this purpose. One group should be educated, and the other benefiting to the other.
