Published in the afternoon, five times a week, on Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., of the Association of the University of Kansas, from the office of Richard H. McKee, Jr., at 412-769-3000, subscription fee $4.00 per year, payable in advance at record or second class mail, September 17 through October 31, 2001.
There are seniors in the university who, on the eve of being graduated, sit back with wrinkled brow and moan that they have made quite an investment in their four years at the university and feel that they should get some return from it. They are like the ragged individual who, over stew, boiled in a tin can under a railroad viaduct, explains that since he was ushered into this hectic world without his permission he feels that the world owes him a living.
WARPED BRAINS
MONDAY, APRIL 11, 1932
If the senior is going to put education in terms of money, he would have gained by buying baby bonds and staying at home. His clipped coupons would be something concrete which he could understand. The abstract value of college education is something he cannot understand. There is little hope for such an individual.
Both are in for sad disappointments.
But the senior who views a world filled with unemployment and has the firm conviction and courage to believe that from four years spent in college he has gained something that will be of service to humanity, will be a success. He leaves the university feeling that the world will compensate him, for only that service which is worthwhile to humanity.
The School of Education has received requests for teachers who can combine agriculture and music. Dollar wheat will do the trick.
MIRRORS
If you wish to see yourself as others see you, don't go to your mirror. Just go to advertisements in magazines which will portray man in all positions and degrees of embarrassment. Our hearts always go out to the young men who sits down at the piano to play, but when the sweet melodies come from the piano, we relax and feel greatly relieved.
The poor fellow with the grasshopper mind has our sympathy too, but he is only in print, for we are facing the situation in reality ourselves. We realize the difficulty of the situations these people on the printed page meet, and we understand them, for misery loves sympathy.
The last melodrama brought to our attention is a life-photograph of a crucial moment when a young woman is talking of the beard of a young man and this certain bearded man walks into the room. The picture of the "embarrassed silence" is indeed "harrowing." The cause of it all is the man didn't use the right make of razor blades. Oh, that we could be spared our agony! And to think a razor blade could cause misery.
But there is cheer in one thought. If we wish to see life exaggerated in the Utopian style, all we need to do is to go to a movie.
The tournaments at the Kansas Union have started in a big way K.U. always was strong for athletics.
BEAUTIFY THE CAMPUS
Now is the time to co-operate with the building and grounds men in making the campus more beautiful. The trees are beginning to bud and blossom as well as the grass to turn green with its many new green sprouts.
The university has a group of gardeners whose duty it is to beautify the campus by residing and planting. But these men have an almost impossible task under present conditions. The students continue to take the "short cuts," and even many of the smaller trees show the effect of contact with students passing too close. And nature itself is shooting up hundreds of dandelions. The campus will soon be white instead of green.
There is also the political campaign this year, with its handbills and broadsides. Every few days there is a new issue of "scandal" about the rival party. These are given to men students regardless of their interests, and are carelessly cast on the ground and blown to every part of the campus. The administration is attempting to cut down the expenses of the university and use as few men as necessary. This can be done only through the co-operation of the students. If every student make it a part of his duty to perform some of the simplier tasks in maintaining the beauty of the campus, it would help.
Miniature golf courses have come and gone. It is predicted that the next dad to hit the country will be the city fishing pool. Already these pools are flourishing on the Pacific Coast, and are rapidly moving toward the East.
"Organize Parents' Council"
says a Kansan headline. Well it isn't the first one which our parents have held.
WHOPPERS
The fish which are used in these pools are raised on fish farms from the eggs, or sometimes they are caught in streams and lakes and fattened, after which they are placed in the pools to be caught by the fisherman who hasn't time to travel a long distance to a natural lake or stream. When the fisherman has finished his fishing he takes his catch to the attendant in charge, who weighs them, dresses them and makes a charge accordingly.
If you don't like the fish you get at these pools you can buy some nice fresh trout eggs for 70 cents to $1.25 a thousand and raise your own fish just as you grow your own radishes. The "whopper" of the future will probably deal with the excellent hatch obtained instead of the provincial ten pound that got away.
Where the farm board, Congress and numerous farm experts have failed, nature is likely to step in and bring aid to the farmer by reducing the supply of wheat. Even though the wheat acreage sown last fall was 10 per cent more than in 1930, the department of agriculture estimates that the 1932 crop will yield 42 per cent less than that of the previous year.
HOW TAMMANY DOES IT
NATURE AIDS
The law of supply and demand still holds, and if the farmer can not adjust himself to this law, nature will have to do it for him. The bountiful harvests of the past five years have increased the supply of wheat to a point where no amount of price-fixing on the part of the farm board will solve the problem. Price-fixing stimulates production and at best be only a temporary measure. If the farmers do not solve their own problems of low prices and over-production, nature will ultimately do so.
The placid unconcern with which New Yorkers have received the recent exposures of astounding graft by city officials illustrates one of the fundamental causes for corrupt government. It explains, in part, why Tammy and kindred organizations can thrive at public expense, why city taxes are
high; and, to a large extent, why crime flourishes.
To speak figuratively, it is not the political machine which puts itself in power. The machine is the political machine, and very people upon whom it press.
The machine vote usually is only a small percentage of the city's qualified electorate. But the machine vote is organized, and it goes to the polls. Nomination of machine candidates is made simple by the general neglect of the primaries. Sixty-five votes in each precinct usually are enough to assure sure success. As a result, the general elections too often present only a choice between two machines, on usually as bad as the other. The conscientious voter is helpless.
If most of America's large cities hope to secure relief from the disgraceful social and economic picture which they present today, the average man and woman must shake off political apathy and realize the responsibilities which go with citizenship. Most of all, he must vote.
THOSE SCIENTISTS
Some scientist is neglecting a golden opportunity to win the aplause of mankind. Can it be possible that scientists have as hard a time thinking of things to investigate and experiment as editorial writers have of finding some big and mighty subject with which they rock the thought of the world? If they do, here is a suggestion which needs attention.
Those pestiferous white blossoms called dandelions are out again. No amount of frost can daunt their enthusiasm for a yearly appearance. Some scientist could win the appreciation of countless thousands if he would find a dandelion eradicator. That obviously would not be breathtaking discovery which would save lives, but think of the outbreaks of temper, stiff backs, and blistered hands that would no longer occur.

Minnesota Daily:
KNOWLEDGE COMES, BUT
VISDOM LINGERS'
book publishing business which seems particularly to appeal to the college girl and boy.
Dr. C. S. Boucher, professor of American history and dean of the College of Science, Literature and the Arts at the University of Wisconsin, a woman's club recently that under the old credit system of education, still in vogue at Minnesota and all other educational institutions, was only exposed to an education without any assurance of getting one. He characterized the credit plan as being the "lock-auto, time-loving" plan offered by Boucher then outlined the new plan of learning being carried out at Chicago and said that it is developing giving skills for people who want something for themselves and the world.
This new plan recently inaugurated in Chicago is not essentially different from that of the University college being developed at the University of Minnesota. In this Junior college comprehensive, general courses will be offered in practically all fields of study. Because such an institute is to give to its students a background and to place them in a position to make a more intelligent choice of their life work by familiarizing them with a wide variety of subjects, such an institution as the Junior college has long been felt in educational circles and its formation here marks the opening of the more progressive of universities.
In many of my interviews I have been struck with the fact that the applicants are pitifully por salesmen. I would like them to should do something about that. I would like to find what might be their "mentor" or "mom" in some up-and-coming university.
The establishment of such institutions as can now be found in Minnesota and Chicago is, however, not going to be the result of any new effort that Dr. Boucher would have us believe. All that can reasonably be exerted is that he "exposes" its student to learning—whether they become educated or not will always be dependent on the experience of their students to owe their learning not to any educational system, and the advent of new systems of education will in no way relegate an essential element in gathering knowledge.
New York, April 11 (UP) —Times like these are particularly hard on youngsters just out of school and college, trying to get their first jobs. This period is marked by a new stamp, psychologically speaking, upon those who are starting out now. The effect will show up in one way or another later. With those who succeed, I expect that the younger generation will good. For anyone who can find a job now, and keep it, has peculiar mettle. In these times, hardly a day passes at that some fine young fellow, or rejects the job. Most of them have college educations. There is something about the
Most of them are tueque-lied, or if they can talk, they don't know what to do. Most people don't drab and stupid. Or if they do happen to have a foe of words, they don't.
AFTER COMMENCEMENT
Written for United Press by
George Palmer Putnam
As I see it, in this school would be taught a sort of combination of public speaking and journalism. The youngest students would be written and oral. With the power of articulation developed they certainly would have a better chance of winning.
It seems to me that nothing can help a youngster get started better than to be able to tell his story intelligently and informally, which is most important in getting the first job.
Editor's Note
I am told by youngsters that because jobs are so scarcity many boys and girls are adding a year or two to their college degree, but not just getting a job when they emerge from college, they think it is best to add what they can to their training now. Problem is how to get them into college, or his parents, or stand the added economic strain.

CHANNEL MARKERS
In the earlier days of this country, spending the family budget used to be a hazardous business. It was only by harsh experience that a householder learned to steer clean of bad bargains and some into port with his money's worth.
There were snags and shoals aplenty. Inferior goods and unscrupulous merchandising methods made the channel dangerous. "Let the buyer beware" was an accepted slogan of trade.
Fortunately for millions of consumers, this conditions has wholly changed in more recent years. The channel has been charted. Today advertised, trademarked goods of known value are for sale in every city and hamlet. The buyer knows he can trust such products. He reads the advertisements in his paper, chooses the commodities he needs, and makes his purchases with the knowledge that he will get full value for his outlay.
The advertising columns point the way to satisfaction. If you make it a habit to read them daily you will save money, and save time.
Advertising is your guide to safe buying
