THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1932 APRIL FOOL'S DAY About 10 years ago tomorrow—do you remember? Perhaps you spent the night before making chocolate covered cotton balls or soap candy; you were a proud young person when you could sneak salt into the sugar bowl or sugar into the salt shaker. But it really wasn't so much fun when some one else beat you to it. And for your pals, it was more fun to keep a straight face and tell them, "Your shoe's untied!" or "Look at that spot on your shirt," or even perhaps you got bold enough to tell the teacher that she had dropped her penil, and then hastily added, "April Fool." When you were a little older, you had a big time telling your older brother who was just beginning to "go with the girls" that he was wanted on the telephone. And what about big sister and her false letter? The climax came when you were bold enough to invite mother out into the yard to see the early spring flower you had found, or to show dad some first sprouts in the garden you had both planted. Do you remember all this? UNAVAILING CO-OPERATION How much have college students grown up in 10 years? To make them feel at ease and to lend a charming aspect of congruity to the whole affair, the University gallantly co-operated with the performers by furnishing them with two ancient chairs of shanty style, legs well secured by baling wire bound from corner to corner and twisted in the middle. Last night a famous artist presented a concert of violin music in the University auditorium. Because of some mishap of baggage, the violinist and his accompanist were forced to appear in street clothes, as the member of the faculty who explained and apologized for them said, "in formal street wear." Despite the unorthodox setting however, the audience enjoyed the concert and the spell was quite as complete as if the musicians had been white-chested and sleekly be-trousered. IS OUR COUNTRY FREE? What has become of the personal freedom we hear so much about in America today? Is our far-flung cry of "America the free" only an empty boast? We are inclined to feel that it is when we read day after day in our newspapers of the kidnappings, the robberies and the other activities of gangland. We are living under a dual government, one legal and representative, the other illegal and powerful. We of the United States have fought for our liberty among the nations but we have bowed down before the power of our own gangland. We are forced to appeal to these underworld leaders for the safety of our property and our people. We say that we are free, that we follow rules set down by ourselves. But do we? It seems that we are depending for our safety and wellbeing on the laws of our underworld rather than on those made by our own representatives. At the beginning of American history we rejected a kingship; now we have a despotism of gangsters. How long can a free American live if we are to endure the actions of crime gangs throughout our country? THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU When a community finds it necessary to reduce taxes it usually starts by reducing school expenses. Whenever the national government finds it necessary to reduce expenses it begins by reducing some department which has little political influence. It so happens that the Children's Bureau comes in this class. Congress purposes to reduce the appropriation to this bureau by at least 25 per cent, which means that it will have to cut its activities about one-third. This department has been very successful with its work in the past among the states and counties throughout the country, and it should accomplish more valuable work among the juvenile delinquents if not hindered by the lack of funds. It is said that many of those in Washington would like to abolish this bureau, and this curtailment in appropriation may merely be a good start toward this end. "UNEQUAL REPRESENTATION" As a prelude to the annual Men's Student, Council elections, leaders of both major political parties are actively engaged in hurling "unequal representation" charges at one another. The term "equal representation," as used by the two parties, means that an equal number of fraternity and non-fraternity men compose that party's ticket in the elections. As soon as this situation ceases to be, it becomes one of unequal representation. It can readily be seen that the term, on its present basis, means little. The two parties may vary greatly in their methods of classification of fraternity and non-fraternity men. One party may regard men who are members of professional fraternities as fraternity men; the other may not. A similar disagreement may exist with regard to members of honorary organizations of various kinds. Consequently, until the two parties reach a common basis for classification of fraternity and non-fraternity men, the same classification will continue to mean little; as will charges and counter charges. THE WRONG TARGET Spend money and speed the return of prosperity is the battle cry of persons conducting the anti- hoarding campaign. And, although they shout from radio, press, and pulpit, only a few heed their words. The majority turn away in disgust. Persons who saved money aren't spending it foolishly while money is so hard to get. To them it is absurd to spend merely for the sake of making things prosper. The anti-hoarders aimed their attack at persons who distrusted banks, persons holding money in lock boxes or buried in the back yard or sewed into the family mattress, the anti-hoarding campaign might be far more successful. Perhaps the anti-hoarders would be more successful if they went a step further in doing our thinking for us and suggested how we spend our money. Few people know that money deposited in the bank in a savings account is considered money in circulation. It will do just as much good in the bank as it will if spent for groceries or an extra car or perfume. Now that Easter vacation is really over, even to the extra time we have allowed ourselves, we have to begin to recognize the amount of work we have to do before school is out. VACATION REGRETS Our last vacation chance to read the 500-page book on which we must report is lost. Nearly all of us missed it.

Acceptance of questionnaire compilations as indicative of college opinion on everything from red liquor to the use of alcohol in the addresses of the public. Aity quack, crudest gandist, or agitator proves his point to the gullible by submitting a questionnaire to a picked group and offering them advice as a definite proof of existing opinions.

LILLIAN PETERSON in the same state they were in at this time last week, and our term papers are still nightmares instead of a memory as we had hoped. Every vacation gives us a chance to precrastinate, but there are no more such events. We are ready to admit that we are going to have to work just as soon as we recover from our most recent vacation. --the colors are Grain, Shadow, Mellow, Turtle Dove and other shades. Regular $1.00 host. The University and the city of Law- rence have joined together to celebrate Loyalty Day. Parades, speeches, and eats have been planned. ALFREDO BUSTAMANTE, IRA McCARTY, Co-chairmen March 31. 1917 It's dress-up week at K. U., the Kanan reminds its readers. Every student is expected to wear something new it is only a new tie or a shirt made of leather, the 1917 wins, we wonder, as hard on us as the present depression? By a vote of six to one, eight hundred students today endorsed paddling and the weaving of the freshman carp in our school to observe the University traditions. The last March issue of the Kansar printed today warns University students that one slang term has been redefined as "boredom" for during this month anyone who enters a door to a Mit. Oral building students are very good English that they "breated in." One University professor always gives the room to write and sign the following pledge: "I have neither received help during this rule." 99 per cent of us think promotion successful while only 99 per cent of u drink. Fond mothers and father's are frequently disturbed when they find that 73 per cent of their daughters in college want a husband who is a com- munity member of Don Junn, Adonis, Neu- mentalher of a pool hall roundabout. For an example of the validity of questionnaire opinion, the recent acceptance of the answers of 107 students of a university, in respect of tensions relative to probabilities may be cited. Not only these are answers which express the expression of the attitude of De Dreu's student, but they were set for as representative of opinion at Midwestern institutes. This did not direct and fairly phrased. Comparisons students expressed their opinions. Complications obviously proved everything wanted, and nothing of actual fact. The very ease with which questionnaires may be answered is not conducive to accuracy. Fallacious statement bases tend to influence the answers. Iresponsibility for answers does not favor honest returns. Circulation of answer data is relatively small number of people increases the likelihood of ultimate error. If we could only regulate the questionnaires, their application, and their suitability to truth might be obtained. As it is, everyone should exercise reason when testing questions in all percentages. It is folly of the first order to believe that figures don't lie. A hard crack at the students of the colleges and universities of the country was made recently when Henry M. Koehler, the commissioner of the lego, said: "Students are not people because they do not function as people should. They are not influential as would be in the management of their college or in the control of public opinion." Daily Texan: CRACK AT STUDENTS If colleges and universities of the country will throw off some of the medieval shackles and ancient hide-bound subject matter and methods of the ancients, and will rehabilitate the world in the guilt of real human need they could redeedicate themselves to the best in the ancient culture and finest of the new. Young people would not be bound down so closely to traditional values but would be able to tie the flesh and blood of live learning to their every day life. True some colleges and universities of the country are becoming modernized, but many still contend that this age should throw into the discard the best in the cultures of the past; but it is equally true that those who want to graduate those who will demand that the present college curriculum be not topheavy with advanced vision and culture of bygone days. We are not informed, but we wonder if Mr. McCracken is one of those who believed that the old good days and still prates of the good old days when culture was cultured. We hope it is not. ☆ Daily Kansan want ads get results. 100 Sheets and 50 Envelopes of Hammermill Bond. 24-lb. paper. Ripple finish. $1.00 Names and addresses printed free of additional cost.
