Many times we think that the Europeans are right in their statements. Americans often make a great show over a new piece, opera, or composer, but we doubt their sincerity in many instances. In other words, it is quite the right thing to make a fuss over a new musical find. We admit that we are no musical critic, but we do appreciate two types of music. The first is good jazz music and the second, we are telling the truth, is strictly classical. We are bored to death with semi-classical numbers, but really enjoy an hour of Wagner, Beethoven, or even the modern Stravinsky. Many Americans have the same taste for music that they have for poetry; this is mostly the Edgar A Guest type. But we have in our foreign-born classes from south Europe real music lovers. They will go without a meal to sit in the top balcony and hear their "Tito" sing. Americans attend the opera and come in during the later part of the first act. When we are sure that the society editor of the paper and other members of the upper stanza have seen us we leave. Of course, we do not know what the opera was about, but we have done our duty to keep the spirit alive. Yes, dear music lovers, we have kept the spirit alive, but a lot of good that effort has given us. We admit that a great number of associated club women may rave about a new number, but most of the time when they are raving they are either quoting someone whom they have heard, or talking about something that they know nothing We Americans are too busy to appreciate music. If we spent a little time listening to a good orchestra, our gold would be shot. We have other things to do when there is a concert being given by a good orchestra. There is usually a good picture show, or the wife is having some friends over for two tables of bridge. THESE DANDELIONS AGAIN For several years now people have been making suggestions as to how we can rid ourselves of the dandelions on our campus, and still the dandelions continue to increase. We have another idea which will not only solve this problem but will also furnish the solution to another very important campus problem. We understand that chickens like to eat these weeds and that if an old hen is turned loose she will soon clean up a good sized patch of dandelions. Therefore we should have a flock of chickens and turn them loose on the campus. We can expect these chickens to lay some eggs and they can be sold, and the money realized can be used to furnish ice for the drinking fountains. Of course the plan may not work, or the administration may not approve it, but at least we are trying. UNSUSPECTED DEVELOPMENT Valuable training is offered in a field which is supposedly not dealt with here—religion. Few religious courses are obtainable, but a great lesson in tolerance is offered. Most students come from families that attend a chosen church regularly. Here, few cling entirely to their own faith. They visit various churches because some friend goes here or there, or from curiosity. Likewise, living with people of all denominations promotes a respect for all beliefs. A knowledge of many religions develops tolerance toward all. The University does not destroy religious faith. If a student comes from a church-going family, he usually continues this, with the addition of a wider, more sensible point of view. At last we know what is behind this curtainment of soap and towels. Someone, weary of walking up and down such a high hill, has decided to remove the top of it. We recall the story of the locusts and the gnarries where each locust carried away a grain of wheat until the bins were empty. Similarly, clean students coming to school of a morning will pick up dirt and grime during the day and carry it down the Hill because they have noother soil nor towels to use while on the Hill. Presto! In ten or twenty or a thousand years the Ad building will be on a level with the Kawai will be on a level with the Kaw. A PLAN OF SALVATION: That word depression is ghastly, but it has become most prominent within the past two years and we're going to make a dose of it right now. A plan has been formulated to give temporary relief for the depression. If school were dismissed three weeks early, much expense would be saved the students. We suggest that college be closed next Monday; then the students would be saved all the expense that seems to accumulate in excessive degree in the last month. Seniors would be saved graduation fees. The diplomas could be purchased at the business office and there would be no senior breakfast and no cap and gown to rent. Of course the professors wouldn't fall for the idea of being cut a month's salary, but to please them, let them have their pay and a vacation too. But we forget—finals haven't yet been taken! Well, they are going to be dispensed with when the educational system is changed, so why not begin the revolution Monday? "The World is Full of Worms." reads the headline in a magazine. Probably this wasn't written by a fisherman. IS IT REALLY PEACE? A news dispatch says there are almost 35 million radios in use throughout the world. We believe that to be a conservative estimate after hearing the number in our block alone. No matter how long the truce lasts or what the arrangements were, the world breathes easier since the Chinese and Japanese have come to some sort of agreement to end hostilities in the Orient. The people of the world will be skeptical for some time, however. The Shanghai affair showed on what rotten foundations the peace of the world is resting. Any official effort to bring better relations between the powers, however, will be appreciated by a worried world. THE THINKER'S PRIVILEGE Students do not realize what a great privilege it is to work with their brains. George Pierrot, managing editor of the American Boy magazine, says. He might have added that it is nearly impossible to get them to take advantage of the privilege. Working by thinking is the one advantage which students have OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Those who expect to go on the club picnic next March, May 12, from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock, must leave their names in the Spanish office before Tuesday noon.

In times of labor difficulties when work is scarce, the sturdy thinker may adopt manual labor if a thinker's place is not open to him. GEO. McPHILLAMEY, Chairman, Invitation Committee. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan; The privilege of working with their brains is closed to the majority of laborers. They can do manual work, but mentally they are not fitted to fill the thinker's job, because they have not studied. FRED FLEMING. MAIL How many students realize that the privilege of working by thinking, easiest learned during college years, doubles their opportunities to find a place in the world of work? Film star is "ashamed" to take $187,000 a year salary—Headline. That's not the way University seniors would feel about more than $1,000 a year. This morning I happened to be in the office of the speech and dramatic art department. Professor Craffon was at work for Kansan. Since what he was doing seemed to be no secret, he held up the clipping and in answer to my question said, "What with Dean Werner's earnest plea for some expression of interest in the student enterprise ticket and the complete silence on the part of the student body that followed, I hadn't dared hope that the simple answer would create such a future. Now (unless we are being apsoed) I read in last night's Kansan that a student, an entire student, asks in a nice long let- Perhaps you remember the first letter or postcard which you received through the mail. If it was a card, perhaps the postman read it before handing it over, while you waited eagerly, on tiptoe, to see whether there was any mail addressed to you. The card was not addressed as master so and so, but as Mr. or Miss. A real thrill came when you got that first personal mail These senior days are full of meaning. They are being lived to the fullest extent. But Uncle Sam is so unkind. The suspense is almost too much to bear. Our happiness would be complete if it were not marred by the wish, "Will the reply come today?" In these last few weeks of school the mail is watched even more closely than it was in our childhood. "Will that letter come today? Is it possible that a reply can come? Or will he even answer? Oh what if that job isn't open after all? How many have written for the same position? Can't he see that I'm different and need the job so badly?" I asked the professor if he was going to answer KIWTS question, and he shook his head, saying that the answer is the same as that given to many things and those days—the budget. As I left he told me that he hadn't the money to pay for this trip to as The Student-Who-Likes-to-See Plays, that without the enterprise ticket, there may not be even two plays next year. G. E. C. TAXI 25c will be offered next year. This letter makes me brighter and it is deeply appreciated, and I am cutting it out to paste in my memory book, for I may never meet up with such interest again." 15 On the Hill Years Ago Phone 987 May 6,1917 "No kill game, no holiday," say Daddy Sayre.
