MONDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1932 VISITORS With the mercury wavering around 80 degrees Sunday afternoon, the Hill was again the goal of many Kansas motorists from nearby cities. Abour 4 o'clock a count of the cars parked on Oread avenue in front of Dyche and Spooner-Thayer Museums showed a total of 43 cars, of which all but four had license tags from counties other than Douglas. For several years these two museums of natural history and world-wide art collections have been growing in fame. With the existence of good roads and the advent of pleasant driving weather no doubt the crowd of Sunday visitors from outstate will increase, yet even there will be thousands of native Kansans who are unaware of our two places of interest. It would be a fine thing if more Kansans could become better acquainted with their state university. PALS AGAIN The world is right again, the sun shines, and our hearts are filled with thanksgiving. From time immemorial (at least since sometime after the Civil War) there has been a botbed of agriculture and beef culture located some tightly miles to the westward of this fair city and At one time, we are given to understand, peace and harmony prevailed between the inhabitants of that place and those of our own institution. That was long, long ago, however. Judging from occasional comments made in the three-a-week specimen of American journalistic decadence issued by this cream of the Kansas crop, we had come to fear that perhaps they were prejudiced against us. When we had to have an agreement not to desecrate each other's campuses, we knew that the breach was complete. Divorce was certain when our love overtures had to be terminated. Alas. And furthermore when, by some hook or crook, they got a larger state appropriation this year than we did, we were appalled by the apparent evidence of the extent to which their antagonism had gone. But Kansas is Kansas! We find with unequalled pleasure and rejoicing that our suspicions were absolutely unfounded! And unmistakable proof of the inherent nobility of soul and loyalty to the sunflower state of these fellowmen has been demonstrated to the doubling world. Could we have won the basketball championship if they had not come to the aid of Kansas traditions and defeated Missouri? Pals again! SIGNS OF SPRING As soon as the weather begins to get warm any observer can see obvious signs of spring. Here and there, mooon-eyed strollers wander up and down the streets . . . birds have returned from the south . . . trees have begun to bud, and the grass begins to get green. New spring clothes are in the stores. Plans for piercies are discussed and every bare spot of ground has a group of children or it playing marbles. Less heat is turned into the buildings and more windows are opened in the class rooms; outside readings in the library increase, and "shot guns" are more frequent. Nearly every one has a tinge of spring fever. MEN. BEWARE! After today all will be well, according to tradition. After today, few women will make proposals of marriage. After today, women will in fact do little about it. That is according to tradition. But be careful—today isn't over until after tonight. This is a warning to the men. Today is the official day of Leap Year; today the women put their bait on the hook. There is no moon tonight, or not, at least, until well after closing hours; that, men, is a boon to you. But the weather is not so bad, and spring is in the air. So be careful! Perhaps you should not even go out tonight, but anyway, you are warned and if you get "hooked" tonight, don't blame us! "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU" The Kansan wishes a happy birthday to all those who have not had such an one since 1928. And with the returns of the day, the Kansan hopes you are aware of your fortune. If you had been born December 24, you would never know whether you were getting birthday gifts or Christmas presents. As for age, many of us would be glad to subtract four years from the calendar occasionally, rather than add one as most of us have to do. You are the distinguished ones. Those of us who were born on wash day, or ash Wednesday, cannot claim any distinction whatsoever. Not only are those born on February 20 younger and more distinguished than the majority of common born, but they receive much publicity. Of course it wasn't earned by them, but they may be thankful for the good fortune. SHINGLES OR SIGNBOARDS Out in the middle of this struggle, or battle, or fight, that our elders call 'life', most people believe in advertising. Whether you're a professional man or a business man you inform the public as to just where your place of business is. And shingles or signboard, they stay up in place the year round. Some day we might give the Sunday crowd of visitors a break and put out our "shingles" on week-ends, but all the time? -oh! my gracious! But here at the University we'd rather be different. Of course we do have some well-built painted signs—one for each building—which we put out every time a convention or the legislators come to town, but to leave them out all the time—oh, no! First, some fraternity freshmen might swipe them, and then again, that isn't the way we play this game. It lot more fun to see the visitors on the Hill run around in circles trying to find a certain building or drive along with their heads out the window trying to read the inscriptions above the front portals which aren't there. HANDKERCHEIF IS KEPT 100 YEARS BY CAROLINA WOMAN Schmale, N. C., Feb. 29—(UW)—A手kerchief said to be more than 190 years old is owned by Miss Anne Noble, Selma. She said the handkerchief belonged to her great grandmother, Anne Stephens, who was married in 1825 and came to America from Scotland. She belonged in a good state of preservation. Sol Topping, of Belhaven, first claimed to own the oldest handkerchief in the state. He is 62 years old. 15 On the Hill Years Ago Feb. 28, 1917 Small printed cards asking, "Why be a soldier?" You have nothing to gain and your life to lose? were scattered around the hospital held by the local army officers, has not yet revealed the person or persons responsible for this literature. Seventeen new members of Phi Beta Kappa were announced this morning. The University has had three conventions since Thanksgiving. Only one of these was for the entire student body. Interest in baseball is increasing every day. The first Jayhawker game is a little over a month away. "The Garden of Allah," bigger than Bert Hur, will be presented at the Bowesrock theater in March.1 The 13 buildings on the University campus have only 8 fire escapes. Prunar hall has four of these. The Chemistry building has two fire escapes west side. Snow hall, condemned by the state architects as unfit for use after next year, has a ladder on the end side of the building, and another on the ground. The other two escapes are built on to the Engineering buildings. Over one hundred eldw women from Kansas City, Kansas have accepted a special invitation from Chancellor to visit the University Thursday. The man who stands patiently holding the door of Fraser at 8:25 will several doze tardy students squeeze in, is one of the many unsuighest. Kansas was defeated three times by Missouri, twice by the Aggies, and once by Nebraska in the present basketball season. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Send the Daily Kansan home!
