MONDAY, MAY 9.1932 WHEW! Now that Mother's day has passed, the tension has abated and life can go on for the rest of the year as it has done in the past. Not that any student was ashamed, or two-faced, but at dinner a few catchy remarks were passed, such as "Did you see Joe tottar in last night?" Bay, he was sure sleepy." Then Ed spoke up and said nothing about how Pope Katherine in Kentucky and seemed to have a let to talk about, especially a certain blond he had met. The women of the campus were kept busy yesterday smoothing things over, and explaining to Mother that the other girls had so many things that it was necessary to buy that new dress. After arguing awhile, Mother finally gave up, but she still held the opinion that the blue dress was the last one daughter needed to get this year. The girls were nice to Mother though, and Elisse put on plenty of perfume before coming down to them. Her parents wouldn't smell the smoke. Yes, Mother's day was a strain, yet it was worthwhile to have her down, but it would be much nicer if she "only understood." INTERNATIONAL PRUDENCE "Chisels His Way to jail!"—Headline. Must have been one of our relatives continuing his search for free board and room. The shooting of President Paul Doumer of France might have severe consequences in European and world affairs, considering the present super-excitabilities of peoples and the national antagonisms that are so easily aroused. It is to be hoped that there will be a realization that the assassin is undoubtedly an insane fanatic and that international relations will not become more complicated because of the unfortunate occurrence. Chet Shore must have done a quite bit of cutting up while he was in the University here. We recently found his name inscribed on the surface of an old copy desk here in the journalism department. WILD KANSAS Kansas is still part of the fact and woolly West! That fact was evidenced to us the other day when a prominent Hill citizen killed a small copperhead snake in front of the Theta Phi Alpha house. Our hero, who is a botany major, was placidly plucking rare plants and flowers when he heard a rustling nearby. He glanced around and saw the copperhead scutting toward him. A dash to his left revealed a snake, the snake followed, whereupon our hero promptly stepped on the reptile's head. The snake didn't wiggle until sundown. Three days later the snake was on the same spot. Matches and paper were procured. The reptile was put on the paper, which was lit. Then the copperhead moved off the paper and out of the flame. Some may explain the phenomena by saying that the observers are sleeping with their eyes open these days. ICE WATER, HURRAY! Well, the first of May has come and gone and at last the promised ice water has arrived. The cool flowering, thirst-quenching nectar that pours from the Hill building dispensaries comes as a welcome release from the dry days of the past few weeks. Despite the state of the weather, University students warmed by the constant surge of their never-ending activities require their painstaking attention about little things like paper towels any more? They are relatively unimportant. We can carry pocket handkerchiefs, thus providing the wherewithal to dry hands and stimulating the cotton industry. The main thing is that we have our ice water back again. Hurray! WHAT A DIFFERENCE How many of the present student body will be able to say 34 years from now that they have been so interested in their work that they have been unable to find time for even one vacation? There is such a man among the faculty of the School of Law. Dr. W. L. Burdick, who is vicepresident of the University and professor in the School of Law, has that distinction. For 34 years he has taught in both the regular and summer sessions of the University. Never once has he found time for a vacation. Beside his many distinctions which include being listed in Who's Who for the past 20 years, being a thirty-third degree Mason and author of several legal works, he holds the state and perhaps the world's record, for having delivered the greatest number of commencement addresses. At the end of last June he had given 265 talks. A banquet is to be given May 17 in his honor, since he is to take a year's leave of absence for a trip where the banquet he is most deserving of a vacation. The school is fortunate to have such a man. His reputation is world wide. It is noteworthy that he has been so interested in the University and his work that he not leave his work for 34 years. Students think they are abused when only a three-months vacation is given them. What a difference in faculty and student attitudes PRISON WALLS America's big business criminal has finally been intermed in the oblivion of prison life. It has been prophesied that he will be totally forgotten by the public mind within the next few years. It is an interesting commentary upon our life that it is possible for the greatest criminal of the time to escape from us or be off. We awant with interest the next phenomenon that will take his place in the public eye and mind. THE MONSTER The Christian Science Monitor, in its characteristic style, has raised the question, "Has the mo- tion picture industry, like Frankenstein, produced a machine it cannot control?" Of course the Monitor believes it has, or it would not ask the question. Of course, whether the industry is satisfying the needs of the public is a debatable question. Perhaps our movie directors are not sociologists and are good business men; what shall we do then? Send them back to schools so that they may learn all the secrets of that science and become aware of society and verbs, poor business men? In the article that followed the question, Hollywood was painted as a mercenary city thinking only of the box office appeal and turning a deaf ear to the public pleading for the beautiful and the good. Part of which is a contradiction. If the public wanted the beautiful and the excellent, then it would attend picture shown that promise that. Hollywood is largely fulfilling the desires of the public. The Christian Science Monitor, perhaps also like Frankenstein, has raised a question that is a perplexing one to our society. Now to control this social monster who is wasting time and money of the public, and turn him into a benefit to all, is a problem which this and the next generation will have to solve, and the solution will not come through education of the motion picture industry alone. Those who expect to go on the club picnic next Thursday, May 12, from 8 o'clock, must leave their names in the Spanish office before Tuesday morning.

TAX EXEMPTION Our Contemporaries Professionals in state-supported universities are not to be taxed on their incomes, according to the new decision of the United States government. The decision was the result of an appeal by a professor, who claimed that the state university is a governmental function. The election of officers for next year will be held in the Kansas Union 7:30 Thursday, May 12 PAUL BEARDSLEE, President.

"Drinks From Radiator Kill." Headline. Well, you can't leave alcohol in the radiators all summer. MARGARET LAWSON Somebody has made a mess of things, and we are inclined to think that the same generation of men and women who for the past fifteen years have been saying that the younger generation is going to the dog is guilty. W. S. G. A. COUNCIL: nere will be a regular meeting of the W. S. G. A. council Tuesday evening at 11:35 in the Kansas Union. HELEN HEASTON, President. A MESS When they took the helm of the ship of state the old boat was a untyre senoworthy craft. But look at her now! See what a miserable state of affairs they have let things get into! THE FUTURE OF GAME BIRD It is impossible imagine how much worse it would now be, be the generation that preceded them and then what they are handling us. They have little reason to be proud of themselves. We'll tell them to their faces that they haven't done such a darn good job of running things. The raising of game birds for sale in the United States is rapidly becoming a means whereby farmers are making a good profit, and people who like wild game for food are supplied when they want it. Before any farmer can go into the business of raising wild game for the market be must first have a permit from the federal government, and even with this it is expected that there will be much bootlegging of wild game in the future. The farmers take the eggs of partridge, phasianus grau, quail, and other wild fowl and hatch them in electric incubators. After that the birds are cared for in pretty much the same way as little chickens. Their wings are clipped, or fixed in some manner so that they cannot get away, and they are raised in pens. After they are grown they are shipped to the markets which consist mainly of hotels, clubs and restaurants. As people learn more about this kind of food it is expected that the market for it will increase greatly. of the family; and it is hard to estimate the saving. The Board of Tax Appeals, in rendering this decision, reversed a former decision. It is on the basis of a decision of the courts that a school is a governmental institution and not a proprietary one. In the past, when education was deemed a public service state, it is likely that a different decision would have been rendered. Exemption of employees of the state is the only sensible policy that can be followed. Otherwise higher salaries would have to be paid, which would be nothing more than the state government's discretionary national government—The Daily Telegraph. INSTRUCTION It is a rather anomalous situation when untrained teachers are selected for schools in Ohio when many of the trained are unemployed. Education in Ohio has been made public of our society which has been regarded with admiration on foreign shores. When we realize that it is one of the very few politically governed departments about which there has been much discussion, we had impelled to congratulate ourselves. But nevertheless, we should avail ourselves of the best instruction possible for our future citizens by giving preference to the trained teachers— The manner in which the University of Kansas campus political factions spend money in their campaigns, as reported in the university's district council conference, seems to indicate that the Jayhawks take their politics almost as seriously as their democrats. basketball.—The Daily Nebraska. 15 On the Hill Years Ago May 9, 1917 --- The costuming was an outstanding part of the May Fete, held yesterday at McCook field. Every detail was watched and the result was quite realistic. The costume was bright, sweet, black, and silk were built into the elfers worn by the men and women of the romantic ages and story book times. Scoop Hill played the queen of Queen Hortense or something like that from the history department in the May Fete yesterday afternoon. Society item: A large number of men are planning on having a house party at Ft. Riley for three months. The juniors and in the School of Pharmacy engaged in their annual baseball contest yesterday. The juniors were the victors. The Apica fraternity will give a dance at Eckle's hall, Saturday night De. and Mrs. H. W. Humble and Pro- sperate. Mrs. N. P. Shrowder will chaperon. Special for Tuesday Noon The new wing of the Administration building is up in the air, theoretically speaking. It is known that there will be a large number of materials as the other wing, but further than that Mr. Shes, superintendent of buildings and grounds, is uninformed. He does not know who will build it, he does not know who will occupy it after it is completed.
