THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1932 STERNER LAWS FOR KIDNAPERS With the kidnapping of the Linds bergh baby, tremendous impetus has been given to a proposed bill in Congress relative to kidnapping. The judiciary committee of the house has had under consideration, for the past several weeks, the Cochran bill which provides the death penalty for abduction of persons across state lines. Although Attorney General Mitchell has previously opposed the measure on the grounds that its enforcement would entail a too heavy additional expenditure; the Lindbergh kidnapping has so deeply stirred Congress and the judiciary committee that the proposed law has a good chance of passing; it is expected to come up for action before Congress within the next week. The federal move is a good one Kidnaps often intentionally engage in inter-state operations because this action complicates the legal procedure and makes for greater uncertainty of conviction of the criminal, if caught. In the meantime, no doubt, state legislatures will begin setting their law-making machinery in motion to provide sterner penalties for kidnappers. It is inevitable that this should follow, for states cannot afford the stigma of being unsafe to live in. States that have their welfare and the welfare of their citizens in mind cannot and will not ignore the problem. With the coming of March we find that women's styles this spring have made every windy day just another day according to the "medies" and "laws." MUST HAVE BEEN SPRING Sometimes second-hand text-books are much more valuable than the new ones. They offer so much better entertainment. When one is attending a dull lecture, which is too uninteresting to pay attention to and in which the professor talks too loudly for a student to be able to sleep, it is nice to open the back pages of the second-hand book and read the notes which will probably be scribbled there. This one happened to be an American Literature text. That probably explains the quality and quantity of the notes. A great many literature lectures inspire such diversions. To begin things she writes, "that's not bothering you—is it?" The poor fellow is worried over needs, and needs consoling, so she takes pity on his sick-cat look and writes on the same page, "Don't you worry one little particle." Now that's nice of her! She probably stood him up last night, but then his fraternity is having a party soon and one must be diplomatic. But it seems that he has given her some cause for leaving him in the lurch, for she writes again, "We're even now, aren't we?" The dear! She's willing to call it quits and make up. Moreover, he is also ready to crawl back and wait to take his punishment again. He confides, "I was worried about you last night." One can gather that much without his saying so. But that is a good opening wedge. It shows he isn't indifferent—as if she didn't now it already! He tries to find out a few things about who is "beating his time," but he isn't very clever and he fails. His note, "I heard you had gone to the city and I didn't know with or anything else," doesn't "get any response from her." So he tries to patch up this poor effort by saying, "You could step all over me and still I'd like it." Gee, ain't love grand! That gets a response from her—it ought to, such devotion isn't found every day. The situation grows more interesting as she adds her part with, "You don't know it but I spend lots of time worrying and thinking about you." This is getting much too apicy for an American Lit classroom. However, he hasn't completely forgotten his great disappointment yet, so he counters with, "saw at the KuKu meeting last night and he was plenty worried too." This interesting epiphytic comes to an adrupt end here, and we can only conjecture how it finally came out. The whistle have blowen and spoiled our little show. But, she probably still steps all over him and he still likes it. "A Broad Path for Probe."—Headline in Kansas City Star. Or if you prefer something which sounds better, take this: Splendid Concrete Road for Dissidence. SO THEY MOVE Trucks, wagons, and dilapidated motor cars in which laughing youngsters vie with household goods and family pets for enough room to stay with the caravan are traveling the highways today because the renter, tenant, or "share-farmer" starts a new year in farming March 1. Many of this class stay on the same farm year after year. But the great majority yield to the restlessness which pervades all of us when the first green blades of grass appear and the birds return from the South. They seek to better themselves; to find greater opportunities. The man for whom they will work during 1932 and about whom they have little knowledge appears to be a much more generous "boss" than the man for whom they worked during 1931. Moving to a new farm presents difficulties to which tenants have become accustomed. Children take up life in a new neighborhood and start to a strange school taught by a strange teacher. Their father is busy learning the names of mules, horses, and cows, preparing the soil for spring planting, and becoming familiar with a new outlay. The mother cleans house and plants a garden in doubtful soil. They do all of these things with light heart and eager hands because a new location gives new hopes and presents a bountiful future. It seems that Kansas City is going in for first one extreme and then another. Out at the El Torreon they are trying to decide who can go without sleep the longest and be able to keep walking. Out at twenty-fourth street and Elmwood the Rajah Yogi, from Texas, has had Miss Mary Hampton sleeping in a state f奸ynopsis for almost a week. And she is sleeping in a grave. PUBLICITY AIDS While the officials are trying to find a way to close the walkathon because it is supposed to be endangered public lives, the city health officials are trying to make up their minds as to whether a grave is a sanitary place in which to sleep. Whether this investigation is doing any good is a question which might be argued, but at least it makes good publicity for the showmen who are putting on the two acts, and if they can just hold the officials off until the shows are over they should clean up. COLLEGE MADE EXPLORERS The thrills and dangers of discovering new lands is to be taken from the explorers of the future if plans work out at Harvard University. The world's only school for explorers has just been opened there, where young aspirants for adventure in strange lands will learn how to read a compass, set up radio communication, make their own weather forecasts, and record valuable scientific data. Graduates will be qualified to command an expedition. All of this goes to remind us that there are still large sections of the world which have not yet been explored. Writers have dreamed of these places, but map makers have been forced to leave them blank. For these college-trained explorers, there remain these blank places to be filled in, and after that the heights of the skies, and the depths of the ocean Supposedly there are millions of dollars more in circulation since the launching of President Hoover's anti-boarding campaign but apparently none has come to K.U. We see by the papers where some of the Lawrence high school boys were whooping it up the other afternoon on a street corner out in west Lawrence. The battle was described as one of "open warfare" in which two earloids of boys met and participated in the exchange not of bullets, but of eggs. EGGS IS EGGS Gosh, we would like to have been there. Now Henry, can you imagine anything like that happening here in a civilized university town? It was a perfect outfit if you ask us. Even if the price of eggs is down to 9 and 10 cents a dozen, who told those youngsters they could steal all the publicity from the engineers who have an engineer's day coming in a few weeks? Our Contemporaries The Indianapolis News: FOR NONPROFESSIONALS President Wilkins, of Oberlin College, has suggested a college "for students planning a nonprofessional career." What he has in mind is special emphasis on home life, earning citizenship in the environment. "Training for successful life in these five fields," he says, "involves training in health, training in the use of what skills and knowledge in tools, English, logic, and so on; instructions and some type of experience in each of the five fields of social living; the environment; and training to be verified that almost any kind of professional training may be obtained. In the classical course the student may prepare for work in an educational institution or the university and the law, to mention a few. Young men and women enter these educational institutions, often with no well-defined plan in place, who have studied in great cultural improvement and the acquisition of knowledge. Others go for the fun of the thing and the social contacts, often with no formal plan in place, who have studied in great cultural improvement and the acquisition of knowledge.

They did not realize that what they need to earn a living with some ordinary tools that the school did not include in its kit.
