Sluggish movement does not interfere with Hill activity as long as the students stay out of the way of persons trying to accomplish something. It is a matter of individual taste. But when slow students gain control of a motor car, whether it is a glossy sport roadster or crattle-trap wreck, and travel Oread at a speed of five or six miles per hour, they interfere with business. Especially is their interference obvious when they select the period between classes for their parade. A PROBLEM IN DISPLAY There are rules to govern the limit of maximum speed on Oread. Why not rules stating the minimum speed? Twenty-two students on the Hill face a problem which it is doubtful they can solve. These twenty-two are the recently elected women of Phi Beta Kappa. They have worked diligently for four years and have acquired a mind capable of penetrating to the heart of a complex situation in order to determine the answer. It is a shame that the very reward for which they have burned the mid-night electrons should bring a problem which, so far, has gone unsolved. But where will the women dis play their keys? The newly elected men of Phi Beta Kappa will purchase a heavy watch chain, suspend it between vest packs, place the key on the chain, and never again be seen with coat buttoned. ASSIGNMENTS, O.T. The question of handing in assignments (O.T.) on time, is as old as the discussion of college itself, but still the problem is not solved. Since the spring of the year is here and it is so much easier to go home in the afternoons and take a nap than to approach the library, or to go to the brick pond rather than think of school work, we must come to an agreement whether we can put off work or whether it be O.T. Of course, a few students are familiar with that godly feeling that comes when their assignments are in at the requested time, but these selected few look with envy toward the fellow in the back row who didn't hand in his report and has the advantage of hearing or seeing the work of others before he brothers to do his own work. The only time the guiltless individual has the laugh over his friend in the back row is when the procrastinator continues to put off the work until the end of the semester. Then the student is warned that he has a semester's work to do in a week's time. If the procrastinating student does make up the work, perhaps he has saved himself a lot of effort, unless the worry of the work came at too high a cost. And yet, if the student does pass with a good grade, it is fair for him to have the privilege of devoting his energies to the subject in only the last few days of the semester? The person who kept up with his work would like to fix the course so that he might concentrate on it all at one time also, but he has gone to the trouble of thinking about the course very often when he might have done better work if he had停顿ed the assignment. Of course, some professors "force" written reports and term papers to be turned in by a certain time, but excuses are always considered. A reason may have a place, but an excuse passes too easily. RADIUM "TONIC" A man prominent in banking and financial circles has just died from what doctors have described as an abcess of the brain caused by drinking a tonic in which was infused a radium derivative. Doubtless the reading of this in the newspapers will cause many people to become prejudiced against the use of radium medically at all, regardless of the value which it has in the treatment of cancer. They will not realize the fact that the tonic was doubtless a quack remedy; dangerous, and suicidal to use. They will not stop to think of the fact that the manufacturers were forced to remove the word "harmless" from its labels long before this pitiful case of bone and brain deterioration was exposed and brought them into widespread notoriety. It is such things as this, the antivirusesion bill being considered in Congress, patent medicines, and the fools who are duped by them that retard the progress of medicine today. OUR STARVING CHILDREN There are various companies, among the steel industry, which maintain that they are helping the persons who were formerly on their payrolls, regardless of the fact that there is no work for the men. This is indeed a noble statement, but one which will bear investigation. The companies refuse to discuss the situation and the workers themselves must give out any information which is issued. One company which purports to give aid to the families of its workers provided work of about four days each month in 1931. Now it is necessary for the worker to go to the mill from one to three times daily to see if he will be "chosen" to work. More than likely he will not. If he is selected he gets $3.60 for eight hours of hard labor. This amount is supposed to keep his family of four to six children and his wife. This is but one illustration; there are many more such cases. If this is the type of help which our American industries can give to their employees when there are little children undernourished and poorly clad, then we as a nation deserve all of the criticism which European countries give us. In other years, we have raised funds and sent supplies to starving children in Armenia. Now we face as tragic a situation as existed in those countries. Kansas and Texas have become the states for the poets. Texas recently selected Judd Montimer Lewis as poet laureate for the state; and Kansas has the Harp, a magazine which was credited with publishing some of the finest verse in America last year. POETRY AND THE WEST The Harp is published in Augusta, under the editorship of Eunice Wallace Shore. Chester Shore of the Augusta Gazette, the publisher of the magazine, says, "The Harp is weathering the waves of depression which seek to wash it into the sea of discontinued poetry magazines," of which there are many. More than 200 manuscripts, many of them from poets of national and international reputation, are received each month at Augusta. The Harp has a group of patrons which makes it possible to continue to maintain its high standards. Also, it holds the distinction of being one of the two poetry magazines in this country which pay their contributors. Texas in selecting a poet laureate takes a stand of believing in poetry for public life. Mr. Lewis has been interested in journalism, folklore and poetry for years, and has published five volumes of creditable verse. It is possible that our grand fathers would call us a bunch of "oissies" and it might even be a bii discouraging for them to know that they fought the Indians so that the "happy hunting grounds" would be habilitated by poets. But what great pioneer would object to having his children and grandchildren writing in the most beautiful style of expression that man has, of the country that was so enchanting that men gave their lives to possess it? And so the children of the pioneers of Texas and of Kansas praise that which cost so much suffering and brought such great returns—the land and the state. "IT'S AN ILL WIND. . . . " "It's an ill wind . . . " For what seems like years we have been hearing all this talk about the depression. We can say one thing for it, though. The motor car industry is fighting to bring back its business and as a consequence the public is going to get cars with improvements which would not come for two or three years yet in normal times. Other industries are doing the same thing. Every manufacturer is doing his utmost to bring forth something new which will attract the eye of the buying public, and which will sell at a figure which sounds like a bargain price. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." The only thing wrong is that most college students haven't the wherewithal to take advantage of the wonderful bargains being offered. "Big Summer Jobs"—Headline Where?!! "The Birds Need Food After a Hard Night" — Headline. And sleep and aspirin? --- 15 On the Hill Years Ago April 3, 1917 If the suggestion of the president is regard to military training is accepted the University of Kansas will be a virtual war camp. The administration is recruiting for the recruitment of Company M, the National Guard will start tomorrow. Headline in the Kansan: "Three Bad Bad Bucaneers Brave Buffeting Breakers of Broad Kaw in Bobbins Barkentine." All of which is merely one way of saying that three University students in search of something to eat at a hotel are tempted to canoe to Kansas City. But, alas, their canoe was thrown upon the shoals of a Kaw river sand bar and so ended the adventure! The women of the University will take their first step toward an active part in the war when the Red Cross group meets for the first time tonight. The hundred women have signified their intentions of attending the classes. While still in school the college man has listened to many causes of depression. He has also listened to depression. The latest blate has been that American colleges and universities are not training their students to be modern American business problems. Today, the college student is faced with a grave problem when he leaves school to enter the modern business world. He is taken into a somewhat chaotic situation and is expected to work in the business in which business has gotten itself. And now an enterprising reporter (they had them in those days, too) has figured out that the University of Kansas has two hundred and seventy-eight students who have come here this year from other universities and colleges. Our Contemporaries Indiana Daily Student: THE SINS OF OUR FATHERS But the blame does not rest wholly with the colleges. Usually the leaders of our modern business system think that the young man fresh from the campus is incapable of assuming leadership in this dog-ent-dog era. This is why we buy the college man new ideas which are worth consideration. The time has come for youth to take his stand in this modern scheme of things. He has perhaps drawn a different conclusion after viewing the distorted picture that he has been accused of helping to paint. He probably has learned a lesson. He has seen that the man he taught would world have made some rather costly errors. Rather than flounder in the classroom, he should be instructors, the graduate is learning not to commit the sins of his father when the rime is ripe to go out into the world.
