JOHN PHILIP SOUSA
John Philip Sousa is dead.
But behind him remain hosts of phonograph records stored in the dusty fastinesses of now little used cabinets. On the continuity sheets of regular programs of the great broadcasting chains are names of "The Stars and Stripes" and "The National Emblem."
In thousands of little black books of defunct country bands lying musty and discolored in town halls and brooding old men a garrets, along with tarnished horns and rusty muske tracks, are little treasures. But under the titles of which is simply inscribed, "John Philip Sousen."
In a hundred books and in the morgues of newspaper office are stories of the life and doings of "The March Knig." And in the memories of middle-aged and old people everywhere in America, along with visions of flaps waving, gun flipping, and bells ringing, in a vibrant picture of a quiet figure whose gentle bait butt drew action out of his listeners through the medium of brass and woodwinds.
John Philip Sousa has not achieved the greatest in art, he has not been the supreme American patriot, he has not been quite the most stately gentleman to walk before an audience to present music to it, and his compositions are more beloved by the untrained in music than by those whose privilege it is to have had the best of the great artists poured into their minds and imaginations.
But John Philip Sousa will always be "The March King." His music will live in the minds and throb in the ears of listeners as long as America is a nation. In the memory chambers of those who have heard him will come out the remembrance of that quiet figure after the impressions of the music have long refused to leave their graves. Those who have never heard him will read about him and perhaps regret a little what they missed.
After all, can words describe what this man has meant to us? He descended artistically to urge a people to patriotism and became great in so doing. He incited thousands to become soldiers and brought a nation to suffer the wars of warfare cheerfully, even joyfully. Love for country pervaded all of his activity; was the man who drew his compositions, and drew him into the light of world fame.
A great American has died.
"Beors Face Quiz"—headline Uh huh, Jayhawkers often face such things too.
PUBLICITY
The Lindbergh kidnap case, like all situations which contain intense human interest, gives the newspapers and radio announcers the ever-wanted opportunity to publish a great deal of purely emotionaldrive. Truth is relegated to the archives of the students, the teacher in the archaic schooling of a dowager duchess. The usual importance attached to facts is suspended while the "subsisters" are dispatched to their respective Grub streets, in order that they may fabricate sentiment-
except perhaps their own tears. Of course, the old panaeaae that "truth is stranger than fiction" may make up to a hundred and rising up like a "Believe it or not" sign in hope that bovine credulity will not sense the deception that distortion of the truth may bring.
No one doubt that Lindbergh calls Charles Jr. "I." Indeed we might have more reason to fear dismisión had he not done so, for it is only logical that after using the personal pronoun "We" for his acrobathe he should use the neuter "It" for his child; but when someone else introduces that the child refers to his father as "I"—we just begin to wonder if perhaps someone isn't "pulling our leg" $^2$ bit.
A South American country has forbidden the sale of clothing by students without the permission of the manufacturer, and depression must be on there, too.
THE DIRECTORY AGAIN
Now that we have had a student directory, a feature on the names included in it, and an investigation into the financial matters concerned with its issuance, it might be well to ask why there are no holes punched in the upper right corner of the telephone book string, as is done in the case of all well-regulated directories.
There, it seems, is the error which is in pressing need of remedy.
Personal nomination for the world's greatest optimist—President Hoover. He believes there is some hoarded money.
EDUCATING CHILD PRODIGIES
A new and progressive step toward the solution of another of our many college educational problems has been taken with the announcement by Northwestern university that 12 child prodigies, from 13 to 15 years of age, will be admitted to the university for the express purpose of becoming objects for study.
What to do with these young students has long been a stumbling block. Many universities refuse them admittance because they feel that they simply do not fit into campus life. Older students regard these prodigies as youngsters who are either to be ignored or to be taken care of like animals; they give very often realize their mal-adjustment and grow self-conscious.
Northwestern plans to give the preocious youngsters a wide latitude in their field of study and to interest them in all the outside activities possible. In this way, the university authorities hope to prevent early specialization on their part. They hope to prevent the students from choosing a narrow range of subjects and neglecting all others; for although the student may become a genius, there is an equal chance that he may become a complete failure.
It is reported that two former Arctic explorers froze to death in a fraternity house last night.
WILD HAIRS
Old man Webster's big book says that the word "university" means "an institution organized for the teaching and study in the higher branches of learning." Yet it seems that at times the four thousand students—more or less—here at this university utterly fail, in the application of that definition to their work, to consider themselves as a particular application for the inclusion of a particle of common sense along with the administration of theory in deciding class problems.
We believe that as a whole the University of Kansas conducts its classes on a basis in which instructors encourage the introduction of the practical viewpoint into class room discussions, which is as it should be. For if there is one general criticism which stands above all other criticisms, the American university, it is the fact that there is too much of the theoretical and not enough of the practical.
Hence we find ourselves submerged sometimes in a sea of class room theory in which a suggestion of the practical viewpoint is regarded as a "wild hair." We wonder?
KENTUCKY COAL MINERS
The expedition which went to the Bell County, Kentucky coal regions, and who met with strong opposition there, give three simple aims which they planned to execute. They are: First, to distribute food, purchase in Knoxville with funds raised chiefly by them; second, to attempt to open channels through which regular supplies of food and clothing—to be furnished by the Workers' International Re-menters—a writer to a miners; and third, to accept whether the miners' rights as American citizens were being violated.
The first time we largely a success, the second was a complete failure, and the third proved undoubtedly that neither the miners nor those who attempt to assist them will win in the Kentucky coal regions.
Who, then, has these rights?
There is a class war raging in southwestern Kentucky; there are but two classes in Bell county. On one side are the co operators and their supporters. On the other side are the mines. Whatever is right to one class is wrong to the other.
The causes lie in the general disorganization of the coal industry. Coal has no price quotation there; it is sold to the buyer at the lowest bid figure, a figure far below the actual cost of production. This difference, then, must be taken from the pay of the miner either by giving him false weight on the company scenes, or by overcharging him for food at the company store.
Why are they struggling? The operators are defending their standard of living and the miners are striking for the right to eat. The operators have everything on their side—money, arms, the press, the police—and strongly the law—their own law. The miners have only their union.
The people have no reason, nor do they listen to any from outsiders. They are narrow and they want to be. Their idea is for everyone to guard his own interiors, not those of others. Anyone not definitely connected with one faction is an enemy and 's so treated.
Why should American citizens organize relief funds for the people of so-called heathen countries? It is time to take actions to revive in our own country?
A daily newspaper in a nearby city blames the Lindbergh kidnaping upon prohibition. No one has yet placed the cause of the war in the Orient at the foot of the Volunteed Aet, but we still have faith.
HEED, WOMEN, HEED
Ye women who are politically minded—now is the time for you to come to the fore and organize. Your leadership is earnestly desired by your eager but more bashful sisters.
Why not take the steps of Central Ad. for your own private property? Or is that so far from the sidewalks that your hissings could not be heard as the men dash by? Think of all the scathing remarks you have been wanting to tell some simple-minded member of the other sex. This is your chance, your "golden opportunity."
What is to be done about the unsurpiration of the steps of Law and Administration by the ran students? Have you no pride?
Women, this is a sacred duty which must be recognized by cal. Hear, hark, heed.
Campus Opinion
Today's best simile—as mythical as a "hoarded" in 1932.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Our Pachacamac friend "D.T." had a very interesting Ad in the form of a rule. It was outwidely a truly conscientious attempt to right his盲觉 mind, but how about the "zip-up"? Mr. D. T. stated at first that he did not know what it was, and such a rule existed. Then he turned right around on this admission and recalled a case where a member of the Council was removed because he failed to take 24 hours in the two previous weeks. It was if the law, or taxt in writing?
Our Contemporaries
but if any difficulty arose in the publication of the Directory, the Council could be responsible and could worry about its settlement.
New D. T., Td advise you, since you are not familiar with rules and regulations, ask your parent interest in Student Organizations to avoid wasting your time worrying about netty eligibility and tell your parents brothers to handle their own dirt.
You realize, I know, that the Big Advertisement was only a speculation and as luck would have it, they had no idea how much were invisible. But these men would have been retired, if blanks had been sent to the Council to fill their positions, the mittenmen admitted that through no fault of the Council, the blanks but not the men do not paint your instruction to them.
Of course, D. T. this election talk is mostly heresy. Pachaeanism will have at the throw this time and I suspect that they have several mud-delightful plans to build a team. All we want is capable Councilmen for handling the men's affairs on the Campus, don't we? So let's pick some more good men this spring. Who are you putting up as President of the College? Why? We can answer on him ahead of time.

AW NERTZ HUMOR REIGNS
SUPREME
D. T., old man, Eligibility Rules are the regulations the underdogs howl for, and that Councilman must maintain, even though their time is required in straightening up such messes as a young girl has had since he made this year of his job. You want find that man insigible, he spent "all his time making grades and trust."

Daily Tar Heel
Humor, once witty intellectual, is gradually getting a retrogression, if one is to judge the current post-rockainvillean genre. Humor comes in the cream of American witt. The infuse of such magazines as Balkyron, Bunk, Hullabaloo, Hooney, and Slaggleback has served to change the whole aspect of this country; it has made the range of two-bit-a-month humor. With each issue, the new estate of humorous literature becomes increasingly daring, sparing no details in deficient writing. The satirical nature of the scri� of the pulman smoker. The amazing aspect of the whole situation is that the great public is apparently gobbling up this offering, forClients are not only their number but increased ten-fold.
another the new humor is another of those things to be blamed on past-wear herder Hether Hower, or Will Cupy's theory of gen and libida is a matter
involving unlimited realms for conjecture. The pleasant anecdotes of the joke-telling trees of two decades ago make us wonder how they were posed to base conceptions that they are hardly distinguishable. The iceman, the street cleaner, and the traveling salesman would be in their library in their range of adventures. Unquestionably the overcame smooth type of burner has been coulphoned until it has acquired amazing frank and unbeatable charm.
The contributions of the new humor to culture seem to be limited to the popularizing of the decisive expression, which is equally applicable to your next door neighbor or the Faller Brush min. If American culture is defiable as an innate culture, then its contributions and others of equally lucid nature as valuable acquisitions to our own particular species of human beings are of type contrary to the principles of good taste that were earlier typical the more mature humorous publications that now have been forced to conform to the new norms of humor in culture is spite, and plenty of it!
The invasion of the red human is regettable. It would be more desirable to have all its periodical exponents alphabetically fled, and then burned.
