The time in many of the events was exceptionally good, considering the condition of the track and the terrible temper of the weather man. Many of the outstanding athletes of the country gathered to compete against each other, and there was enough of the elements of the drama and music to make this competition interesting to all of the spectators. The Relays were run off smoothly and justified their growing popularity as one of the greatest events of their kind. They spread good will and help to make Kansas a more integral part of the nation. LOST! To the average student the loss of a bank account implies that he is "broke." His account is overdrawn or defunct, and until father comes to the rescue, the world is a very bad place. This month Vicki Baum, author of "Grand Hotel," came to this country with the intention of becoming a naturalized citizen. The reason for her action was that she wished to find a solution of her financial difficulties in Germany. Here, even if money is tight, we have the enjoyment of losing our bank accounts to suit ourselves. This isn't such a bad place, you know. At least, the student has the pleasure of knowing what becomes of his money and of spending it as he pleased. Fathers have been known to write to sons and daughters that "money is tight" and to exercise discretion with the bank roll. Connected with ways of losing a bank account in Germany is the tightness of money. There, the state has confiscated the bank account of Erich Maria Remarque. The only explanation given for the action was that he had established a residence in another country. ALONZO STAGG The speech which Amos Stagga made at conference Friday explains why he has been one of the foremost and most successful football coaches in the country for more than forty years. The dynamic personality of Coach Shaul stagger the large audience. Think how he must inspire his football teams when he talks to them just before an important football game. He is a man for whom players will give their best; for whom they will develop their facilities to the highest point of which they are capable. In years Coach Stagg is an old man, but in spirit, and inspiration to his men he will always be youthful. GETTING AN EDUCATION Getting an education is different from what is was four or even two years ago. It may be that the university student of 1932 is a more serious minded sort; he at least wastes less time in frivolous gayeties and thinks more of what this education thing will mean to him. It may be that the depression has hit the college student and sobered him considerably, or it may be that he realizes the predicament father is in at home, and hits the family pocket book with a lighter tap than formerly. Fraternity parties this year are fewer, college dances less formal; simple gayeties predominate, and we find many students partially or entirely financing themselves, Books, studies and school activities seem to have taken their rightful place at the front and replaced the high handed spending and playing of two years or more age. KID SCRAPS "Yah, yah, yah. Eddy likes Louise. Eddy likes Louise!" "I don't either. What of it? I ain't teacher's pet like you, any-way!" "Who's teacher's pet?" "You're teacher's pet. Baby, baby, baby!" "Betcha dassen't come out in the alley and call me that." "Well, you ain't called ma teac er's net again." "Teacher's pet. Teacher's—" Socko. The fight had at last started Them was the good old days. ON THE SIDELINES! The women played their parv nobly in the men's election. Of course the men on the campus will see no significance in such a state ment, but nevertheless the women of the campus were interested and watched the mud fly with great concern. Perhaps it was envy, but the women looked on through the whole campaign, wishing they too could sling mud with the same freedom. There are so many catty things that they could have said, had their election been like the one just pass. Although the men were reluctant to hand out the various political sheets to the women at first, they finally caught on that they too wanted to read the hokum. The women wore tags; some of them were up all night counting votes Thursday; and they kept up on the events. Whether their interest was appreciated or not, the women were on the sidelines all the time. A few more years of such fascinated observation and they will jump the fence and start their campaigns in the open, war-path method too. It is too exciting to let the men have it all to themselves. The paring of the University budget fits well enough into the program of tax reduction for which there is great need, as is evidenced by the number of farms being sold for taxes. UNEMPLOYMENT vs. VAGE CUT But it would be cutting off the economic nose to spite its face if the starved requirements of the budget were met by a reduction of the faculty and employees of the University. Unemployment is the paramount cause of the depression and to throw more people out of work only makes matters worse. Rather than reduce forces, it would be much better to distribute the decreased funds among all the employees, so that, though the wages would be smaller per capita, they could still maintain themselves comfortably and enjoy a degree of security. Further than this, the buying power of these people would not be completely destroyed. If some of the states employees are thrown out of work, however, they can only despair of finding other employment. They would be added to the great mass of conscientious, willing people who ask for nothing more than a chance to live by working. By lack of farsightedness on the part of those responsible for the reduction in forces, they would become objects of charity, thus constituting a drain on an already sick business world. Upon the Governor of Kansas, the board of regents, and the administration of the University rest the fate of the faculty and employees; in their hands is the solution of the question, "Do we lose ground, or do we hold our own in the fight for better times?" EGGS FOR CRIMINALS In England a new plan has just been announced whereby each police officer is equipped with an egg-shaped bomb which he hurls at the motor car of a criminal and which explodes when it hits; marking the occupants of the vehicle inadvertently. This plan should be quite successful in capturing lawbreakers since they can easily be distinguished regardless of the size of the group into which they dash to escape detection. English officers seem to be making an earnest attempt to do away with crime and it might be well if law enforcers in the United States would adopt some similar means to assist in the capture of criminals. SCHOOL FRIENDS The Women's Glee club of the University has just completed a week's spring concert tour. They presented programs in a number of towns over the state. To some, a trip of this type seems merely an additional expense which might well be excluded from the expenditures of the organization. But their attitude is unwarranted. There is no better way to establish permanent contacts with the people of the state than to meet them on one of these tours. A better feeling for the University is created by means of these contacts, and friends are gained for the institution and it is probably one of the best ways we have to increase our enrollment, and if for no other reason the tours should be encouraged. SOAP AND TOWELS Since the University has coached to supply towels and soap in all but a few places on the Hill, and has announced that there will be none next year, another solution for the situation should be found. Soap and towels, while not essential to human life, contribute greatly to the health and comfort of civilized people. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" is a motto that may well be relegated to the limbo of lame and defunct provers, but cleanliness as a condition of personal and social life is necessary. University people must be aware of that fact, inasmuch as a considerable saving is expected to be made by discontinuance of these conveniences. In the spring a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love and poetry. If they are capable of such feelings, why can't they become poetic over the beauty of the campus this spring, as well? Obviously, students and faculty members can hardly carry soap or towels about with them. Some other method of supply must be found, then. There are undoubtedly companies that put out vending machines for these articles. Very probably they would regard with favor a situation that would permit the distribution of several of these machines on the campus. Each student would have to pay a cent or two every time he washed his hands, it is true, but that seems incomparably better than having no soap or towels at all. Incidentally, it might also teach some people to be less wasteful. This is surely a matter that merits an investigation of any possible remedy. Much resodding has been done numerous trees have been set out, the tulips are in bloom, and what more could anyone ask? Even dandelions are beautiful in such surroundings. PROMOTING POETRY If the young men are unable to become poetic over such a place, it will nevertheless prove a setting conduceive to love, and perhaps, even poetry. The University has certainly done its hit toward promoting a spring crop of pins and engagements.

VACANCY IN COUNCIL OFFICE: Petitions to fill the vacancy on the Men's Student Cornell in the office of two-year representative from the college must be submitted by Wednesday, June 15. The dean of women at Northwestern University has forbidden the women students, on pain of regulation, to give a reporte to interview them. allow a reporter to interview them. The Sigma Kappas have a new playground. Under the direction of Joseph Lamborn, the underclass sorority sisters are learning the art of swearing; they learn to "work up doubly," and "wait their turn" peacefully enough. Our Contemporaries The faculty of the department of German is not afraid that the teaching of the German language in the University will be abandoned. 15 On the Hill Years Ago At the aVrsity Theater today—Charlie Chaplin in "The Floorwalker." John Bunn, '20, was initiated into Theta Tau, engineering fraternity, today. Work has been started on the roving of the pipe organ in Fraser University, and the instrument will be installed, together with a cable that entails thousands of elec- Texas Semi-Weekly Campus: THE ASCENDENCY OF RUSSIAN MAGNETISM Read the Kansan Want Ads. Next to the lamentation over Lindbergh's lovely little baby lately lost, strayed or stolen, the newspapers spill out of his nest, this prohibition, namely, g. e., i. c. The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics—to the campus at large, just plain Russia. The magazines flutter their pages in the wind, and the students loot. Let the wife of any American engineer return from the U. S. S. R. and she can immediately join the life of her husband for an hour or so and then sending it to the "ox poplul," that illustrious and eseric national magazine called *The Times*, for a run with Russian fantasy. The circuitures are getting burdensome plagued with Russian lectures. Every refugee from Russia writes a book. If not, then one same writer it for him. All this, Herr William Rubey, would be the making of our fortunes. Are you on earth? We might even take along a boy and take the Soviets would reject Holi! The society of the "haute monde" glories in Russian guests. The tall Sliw is fawned on and is pointed out. Being Russian is almost as intereting as being foreigner, but the connotations from the former are none too savvy in Texas. For here resides that implement of fundamental Americanism, the Ku Klux Klan movement for Russia. It has reached the point where one is "protetariat" because he isn't up on Russia. You can hear from the most unimpressive school teacher or the Congressman-at-large in "something or other" in Russia. "Soldat Stalinic the Slavonic Solomon." The American public would not be too critical and even the Literary Guild might approve. Comrade Stalin would protest little, if any. He is essentially good showman, disdainful public. What a pity that school is still in swing for a few more months. We should like to dash over and "do Rusko," the Russian teenage girl somewhat larger than France and that is done. The remarks去-in five or six days. After we had had our photo snapped gambling about in front of her, she was frozen out of frosty snowball at Alexander Ryffok—he is merely the president over there—we would slip out of Russia with notes which would form the wherewithal for her homework and for a back home for win, via the Canary Islands. On the way, we would consult our notes and between bridge parties and temperance lectures we would create memoranda on Russian civilization called: BLUE MILL 1009 Mass.

We didn't know we were trying to run the University but we have realized for sometime that someone should. We are glad that you now have a chance and congratulate you on your victory. Incidentally, you are much better politicians than you are business men. Pardon us for calling this to your attention but the position you have dragged us down to and credited us with compuls us to make this feeble effort at "running things." You showed poor judgment in buying printing last year. Your student directory manager got all muddled and gave the job to the high binder in place of the low and lost $173. Then your politicians paid just twice too much for the bills you used in advertising us. You ought to be more careful in buying your printing. Get our prices. Our prices are for printing only. You buy your refreshments with what you save—don't let the printer buy them with the overcharge. Buy printing and entertainment separately. Come in, you Pachacamacs, and get acquainted. We like the way you fight and believe we can be friends. The Douglas County Republican 1005 Mass. St. N.B. — You have us all wrong on that Free printing stuff. We get paid for all that we print but you have been paying such a big price that our printing just seems free.

The second is Keepin Out of Mistletoe (the first), Lyin' Living, By I Love It. The crisp, rhythmic style of Coon-Sanders band carries them on to a Nichols and Company Another dance record is a new Ben Bernie—thinking of Me (I'll Be Thinking of You), coupled with Ben Bernie's other hit, Son of a Gun, played by Victor Young and his Orchestra. The Bernie number is a new tune, and it's title will probably recall the song "Think of Me. Thinking of Me." Red Nichols, with the Boswell Sisters, Art Jarrett, and several others, do a California special de luxe. It's a twelve inch and carries a lot of slick tunes all the way from Whippingbird and Awning You, you with California. Here I came coming each one. 'ickens, Reisman and Krueger The second record by the Pickens Sisters (from Georgia) brings a smoldering tale of performance of Too Many Tears that is plenty neat. Leo Reisman's Too Many Tears will be a help only to those who refuse to learn about their whose record of that tune has enjoyed an unusual sale. The coupling on the Reisman disk is my Woman about, who knows my self before. As Reisman plays it, however, assumes the grace of a very passable dance tune. In addition to this music I have heard many Tears, Reisman has made one of Lovable and I'm So in Love. Bennie Krueger does these two tunes for Brunswick. Benko is the feature of his records. Bing Crosby Again One of the season's best melodies is the feature song *Crosses Crochet*. You're Still in My Heart on the second side. Crosby has a peanut butter flavor. The Week's Features The two best records released for the week by Brunswick, are Duke and the Lazy Louse Blue Turtles and the Milla Brothers' Rockin' Chair and Goodbye Blues. The latter tune is the radio theme song of the band. Olsen and the Warings Waring's *Pennsylvaniaans* and George Olen contribute a record apiece to the releases of the week. The Waring numbers are You're Dancing, We're Dancing, We're Dancing, and Olen plays My Mom and Downhearted. Hot Dance Records The remaining disks of the week are Hot Dance features of Victor -Strangers and I Wanna Dance with You -Straighten out, Denson. Oh Eddie by Bennie Moiten (his first record for several months) and Pepper Steak, played by the Washburn Biby trio but burgers by Jean Calloway and Orchestra. Is this another member of the Blanche and Cab Caloway family? Their numbers are Sadie Shearer and Ought to be a Law Again That.
