MAY 13. 1962 REST PERIODS Here we are within a short week and a half of that first day of finals Crammed to the very top with enough work to last us six weeks we go struggling along trying to be at the library and at class at the same time, trying to read two or three extra books to get a rounded-out idea of the course when we really ought to be reading the untouched last chapters of the text. Of course the faculty who read this will smile and say to themselves that students will loot until the last week. Student readers will probably never get this far. The home folks will be asking, "Well what do we send you up there for?" and the editors on our exchange list will grunt and remark that this cub should wait till he gets out of school. Say what you may we still think it is a good idea to have rest periods. Here we are within a short week and a half of that first day of finals. Wouldn't a spring holiday along about the middle of week before last have looked good? Today is Friday the 13th. At the last national meeting of newspaper editors and publishers, a great deal of time was spent discussing the advantages and disadvantages of radio advertising as compared with newspaper advertising. Many editors refused to become excited over the fact that radio advertising might be cutting in on the advertising revenue of newspapers. These were the smart publishers who had installed broadcasting stations when radio started to become popular. TAKE YOUR CHOICE "Oh, my!" crises the spinster, and all her near relatives, who must always go screaming here and there about things of insecure-quence. "Today will certainly be a bad day." "Hurray" says the sport, "this is my day to win. Thirteen always was my lucky number and off he ran his nickels on a number 13 somewhere. "Hub!" grunts the student. "When a fellow's goin' to school, Friday is just another day. Bring on Saturday morning for real enjoyment." So there you are; take your choice. Only give us about two or three more "Friday the 13ths" every year so we can stereotype this missile and run it often. The period of splendid prosperity marked the rise of huge corporations employing thousands of men and of chain systems with thousands of units. It was an era of millions working under the guidance of a few employers. Today these employers are not hiring men. And the resourceful employees, as well as those just entering the business world, who have a little capital, are setting up a small independent business depending on their own initiative and energy to carry them through. Maybe that is the answer to unemployment. GANGSTER STRATEGY Since the finding of the murdered Lindbergh baby's body, we see another example of our famous criminal strategy. During the dreaded hunt of the past ten weeks, Al Capone and other lesser important gangsters have offered to return the baby safely to the parents if they were released from their confinement. Finding of the body serves to show how idle were the offers, and to what ends these men will go to play on the overstrained nerves of the public in an effort to sweep opinion in their favor. Public officials have again show good judgment in keeping the beating "Chicago public nuisance number I" and others behind the bars, regardless of the national importance of finding the baby. This should serve to show the reading public that the so-called power of the gangsters in the underworld over the officials may, as usual, be only idle threats over-emphasized to satisfy the public whim for mystery and crime as shown in our modern motion pictures and sensational newspapers. During one of our casual motor travels the other day we observe a tortoise, the size of a saucer, who had reached the edge of the slab and paused with half-closed shell eyes blinking amazement at the roaring rush of motor cars over the pavement. The tortoise reminds us of the student who idles through four years of college and pauses a graduation, stupified by the whir of business and unemployment. OUR INCOMES The late Edgar Wallace, although the most prolific of modern writers, died leaving several thousand dollars in liabilities and no assets. Mr. Wallace had the rare talent of being able to write a best seller in a few days of concentrated effort, but his extravagant living offset the large sums he obtained for his works. The movies, the stage, and stories and novels have long prefiled the writer's imagination. income is never large enough. This picture is not fair; we are all tempted to live above our income and only those of us with a little Scotch manage to keep funds and expenditures balanced. It is a queer thing how the cost of living seems to rise automatically with each increase in salary or income. We all think how fine it would be to obtain some new avenue of income, so we could put something away and see ahead a little further than the first of the month. Then when we get the raise or discover a new source of income, it dwells away just like the rest, and we never know where it went or how we got along on the smaller income before. Neverthless, it is difficult to understand how such a writer as Edgar Wallace, who made hundreds of thousands of dollars on work written in amazingly short time, could die with his bank account "in the red." Many students are so busy enamerating the advantages of being a football hero that they forget the disadvantages which go with the position. POST SEASON SCORE Very few of the outstanding K men who have been graduated from the University departed in as good physical condition as when they arrived. Many of these men have been forced to undergo expensive painful operations for injuries received in games. An injured shoulder does not interfere in the life of the athlete in business. But a bad knee with displeased cartilage, or a nose so crushed that it interferes with respiration requires surgery to make them normal. The operating rooms and hospitals are not filled with loyal fans. There is no cheering; no glorious newspaper accounts of the play. It is just one of the bad breaks which come to K men.

A spring expo on campus will take place from April 23-26. CHUCKLING RIFLE PICNIC Has anyone ever figured out why a fellow chuckle to himself when he is all alone and reading a particularly enjoyable piece of literature. Members of the Men's and Women's Rifle team meet at Powder shop attn o clock Sunday afternoon. NELL, REACZ. 15 On the Hill Years Ago No doubt the scientists have a long-winded explanation as to the physiological and n d psychological factors involved, responsible and contributing, but that won't do. Just explain why it is that people like to chuckle out loud to themselves, when they are reading alone. Or if you can't, just pass along. We still like to chuckle to ourselves when reading something entivable. May 13. 1917 Divinity and fudge have been replaced by sorghum brittle. Roofbeer smooths are being made at the fountains now instead of ice cream cones. William Jennings Bryan will speak here Wednesday, May 16, in Robinson gymnasium. Fraternities are facing the problem of either discontinuing the serving of meals or continue them at a loss. Our fraternity has already closed and others have joined in to further large numbers of members that have some Ft. Riley and to the farms. Five years ago the girls used to make Welsh rarebits in the eating dish. Now the fashion in rum tum tidy. The Women's Athletic Association will its annual "dress-up" party in Robinson gymnasium Saturday night. The postoffice in Fraser hall is being enclosed with a wire cage. And no more do the co-eds on broider guest towels. They tat or knit. To knit or not to knit has become a famous war cry. Some can even knit a book without leaving a hump. And the movies are still being well- inflorescent. Student day, the get-together tin for all the schools of the University, May 25. Students from every school will meet at an event in Frasch chapel and speakers tell the plans their schools for next year. Campus Opinion RUDOLPH WENDELIN. In a recent editorial the Kauai praised the seniors for being big hearted to the extent of giving ten scholarships to the University. As one who attended the senior meeting, I understood that each senior paid $3.50 to cover breakfast, cup and gown rent, and alumni data. Then the alumni association turned back our donation to the university's scholarship fast. Should the senior or the alumni association get credit for the gift? Editor Daily Kansan Since our foremost educators, lead by Harvard, have begun to question the value of an education gained by students in a university's scholarship plan so praiseworthy? Does the University want students of such small financial resources that fifty dollars means the difference between higher education and necessity? R. S. J. Further, the Chancellor pointed out the advantages of the Harvard system of tuition and fees. Harvard students are more conscious, more ambitious, and study more because they pay large fees in order to gain entrance to Harvard. When they are graduated, they can confidentially attack the business that they have gained something of vital importance—an expensive education. Editor Daily Kansan; After seeing the East-West Revue for the fourth time, the old question still arises in my mind. "Why doesn't the Cosmopolitan club include outstanding students along with the students who now belong to the club?" The huge success of the quartet certainly showed that it was highly approved by the audience, and that such ability was a big addition. Why not give them a chance to show their abilities on other lines? Incidentally, speaking of the revue, several people have been heard to remark that the omission of certain actions and questionable jokes would have improved the quality of the entertainment. The master of ceremonies even had to use the amusebole "I know it is hot," which throws off this dubious influence of American "college" boys and doesn't allow a good entertainment to get any nearer the borderline of cheap vaudeville. A - Senior. Our Contemporaries INDUSTRIAL CRIBRING --so arranged that the chief sales executives are on the line simultaneously. Problems are discussed, decisions given. In minutes, the executives cover the country. This plan lowered selling costs, raised efficiency, helped the user to increase profits 31% in a year's time. According to a recent news article, the long-prevent collatec cribbing will become still more prevalent, even taking on the aspects of a major industry. Says the article: "A national essay writing corporation to provide essays and those to undergraduates during a four-year college course for a fee of $80 is now in the process." All of which is obviously worth it. College eribbing has never been regarded purely as a harmless peccadillo, as can be readily acknowledged by a recognition of the severe punishment that has been meted out to offenders—such as being forced to教训 the unpleasantness of an extra course of school but neither has it ever been looked upon as meritable of a jilt风. Conversion, it is, but a trifling sin, usually more laughable than despicable. Its greatest condemnation lies in the possibility that subsequently it may prove responsible for greater breaches of conduct, since, of course, succumbing to temptation may impair one's ability to the hard work of municipal subway. But although cribbing—unless they were wavily mistaken—is underlined only for the sake of murks, and although it is possible that a consequence save that they are indicative of how far teachers can differ in their approximation of the same student's worth, and although that would make it less likely that cribbing is but a minor violation, still there's no getting around the fact that cribbing is really cheating, and even grade school kids know that they shouldn't and why they shouldn't. It is equally as difficult to find any recoiling features in this new plan for industrial cribbing. As is perfectly clear, the system is potentially responsible for lateness of a vigorous sort; and as is just as devilish, it can add nothing to the intellectual development of the student. And that it may prove financially beneficial to students, the system is again mindful of the modern materialistic tendency, about which a distressing sufficiency has already been said, as everybody will All the same, there is one conoling point. It can be clearly pointed out to the students possibly contemplating an easier scholastic existence next semester, albeit somewhat calvinistic for the pocket-book, that a large corps of encerely ambitious students may now more about college studies than Merceden does about logic or Winchell about his own back-yard, will undertake the business of providing theses for them. And again, there is some hope that these undergraduates, afflicted with the notable colleague lack of funds, will refrain to enroll as membres and instead cause of a preference for their usual Friday night date. Anyway, cribbing is bad enough. And this system will only make matters worse. - Marquette Tribune.
