THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1932 SUCCESS In this day and age when every enterprise—business or pastime—seems doomed to defeat—economic or otherwise, it is indeed a pleasure to see an organization set up its goal and then in only a few weeks' time make the top. And so, friends, it seems as if the time had come when honor and respect should be paid to the management of the student Union building. Not much more than two or three weeks ago the Union management announced the new policy of a dime-a-stag admission for the otherwise free Scotch midweek varsity. And now the idea seems to have grown in favor, for last evening, with all the atmosphere of spring, the stages poured into the ballroom by twos and threes and fours until there was an immense crowd on the dance floor and a proportionate bulge in the dill tide of the cash register. Success—the favorable or pro- perous termination of anything—attainment of a proposed object. But just what was the object anywave—money or fewer stags? OUR KLEPTOMANIACS Nomad tribes of India have so developed their powers of observation that they can track animals by claw marks on trees. President Hoover needs two or three such hunters to put on the trail of prosperity. Persons wishing to check out cards from the desk in the Union building are now forced to put up collateral. The building has been turned into a veritable hook shop as a result of the skeptomaniacal activities of certain students and other users of the building. One student in Oread remarked that he had walked out with three decks last year. The decks began disappearing so fast this year that it became necessary for the operating committee to take steps to stop the petty thievery. The committee cannot be blamed for doing this. The step is a benefit to most of the players. Kleptomaniacs carry off every pack of cards that they can lay their hands on. It makes no difference whether they have cards at home or not, they still take them. It is because of their unsurpulous stealing that the card players are inconvenienced. It is too bad that the public can't find some way of letting their sins find them out. WELL GET A CHAMPIONSHIP Hooray! It begins to look as in Kansas would not be left completely out in the cold after all in Big Six athletics this year, following last year's unusual success. The Jayhawkers have a good chance to win the Big Six basketball championship when they play the Oklahoma Sooners Saturday night. Thus will the honor of all loyal Kansas be vindicated. Now the student and alumnus of Mt. Orend will not be afraid to face the home folks. They have proof to show that the Jayhawkers' win ning streak of last year was not wholly an accident. Next to winning, an alumnus loves best a fighting spirit in his team. The team that comes back is greater than the team which defeats all comets at all times. Last year saw a rejuvenated K. U. spirit. Students and alumni alike were more than proud of their school, which had made a sensational rise from an underdog to the dominating athletic force in the conference, and the winning of three major championships and one minor. The failure of the football team to repeat this season hurt, but the defeat of Missouri helped heal the wound, and the thought of the coming basketball season made spirits soar again. Early-season games, however, made prospects for a basketball championship on Mt. Oread very remote indeed, and students and alumni alike took their bantering in the best spirit they could muster. Now the situation has changed. The Jayhawkers have come back, and there is a big possibility that not all the Crimson and Blue championship flags will be replaced by duller colors. RUSSIA'S FIVE-YEAR PLAN The first five-year plan outlined for Russia will end in 1932, the fourth year of the plan. The new program for the years 1933 to 1937 contains as the keystone a threefold increase in food, clothing and personal utensils for every inhabitant of Soviet Russia; therefore a 300 per cent improvement in living conditions would result. This would emphasize a development of the manufacture of commodities people can-use rather than a development of heavy industry. The goal set by this plan is the abolition of all class differences. The goal is admirable, Russian living conditions undoubtedly should be improved, and probably nothing is more needed than to abolish class differences. But will it work, even in Russia? Why would not a combined plan to manufacture commodities which people need and a development of heavy industry be more successful? NEW RAIMENT Pink garters, violet neckwear and cream-colored suits will feature masculine spring wear, according to the treasurer of the IL "The entire masculine population of America has been going about in standard blues and oxford grays until it has become a state of mind," says he. "Spring clothes are going to be considerably brighter." Boy-o-boy-o-boy-o-boy! Wait until the emancipation come. Why be pikers? Let's have some polka dot spats, orange blouses, striped purple and green kerchiefs, gold-leaf cravats, and pink vests to start with. And shoes! Gather round, men. How's this? Butter yellow toes and crimson sandal-effect straps, heels dull blue, and soft gray velvet buttons in a row over the instep. But best of all, the stability of man's position is now assured. Recent prophecies state that because women's clothing is so much healthier than the heavy garments worn by men, the weaker sex is rapidly becoming the stronger and that in the near future, poor man is doomed to take care of the baby and cook the meals. No longer will the women have the corner on color. No more will they be ashamed of our dullness. No more will the occasional artistic soul with a romantic scarf knotted carelessly about his throat be such an attraction to so many of the fair sex, bless their hearts. And wait until they begin to put fashion pages in the Police Gazette and Uncle Billy's Whiz Bang! And the windows of men's clothiers burst out in blazes of color and symphonic harmonization of shade and design! Will men come into their own or will they? But with the new rainment, man can retain his healthy state and thus avoid the cataclasm.

FREDERICK. E. WIRTH. PEACOCKS Women are funny critters, especially when it comes to clothes and colors, but when both those things go hand in hand the combined appeal is enough to produce some startling results. Maybe it is their vanity, perhaps it is their romantic inclinations which rebel at the common or ordinary, or yet it might be their unquenchable desire to be different. In any case the names given to the various colors and tints to be featured in this spring's fashions for women are enough to flibbergast the lowly male. Tomato red, Nassau blue, fondant beige, brigide蓝, bambino blue, Tory red, Spanish tile are only a few of the glamorous terms conjured by the stylists to stir the imagination of the daughters of Eve and bring them flocking into the clothing shops this spring. Imagine, if you can, some cute little trick, weighing in the neighborhood of 160 pounds and featuring round house curves, owing and ah-ing over a ducky creation in bambino blue. Ain't it a crime what white women will do? Just try to sell a man a suit or a tie by such methods and a case of assault and battery would be almost sure to follow. Men don't but Nile green, or dream blue or sunset brown suits of clothes. They buy blue or brown or grey suits, and although the romantic flubbubbery is missing they manage to make themselves look fairly presentable anyway. TERRIBLE WOMEN But women will go on and on, buying clothes and color combinations that would offend the aesthetic sensibilities of a sign painter as long as the fashion experts continue to gird out fancy names for their merchandise. They like to strut and prune themselves and have other women tell little white lies about how nice they look. It must be the peaceck in them. When approaching a turn in the street, she waves her arms in such fashion that it is impossible to discern whether she means to turn or continue her way straight ahead. She runs through stop signals mowing down innocent pedestrians who have faith in signs. Frightened by the havoc she creates, she loses control of her car. This is man's conception of the average woman motor car driver. But statistics for 1931 prove that for every 86 female drivers registered, one was involved in a personal injury case due to motor cars, whereas one male in every 21 registered was so involved. The terrible women drivers are only 25 per cent as dangerous as their brothers! LIBRARY DIN It seems as if the library, especially outside, had become one grand rendezvous for the Hog Callers' Association or some kindred organization. Last night we went into the main periodical room with the avowed intention of studying, but we had difficulty in doing so. An incessant bable of voices and laughter came in from that portion of the outside around the front doorway. Most of the members of the organization seemed to be men. We realize that hard working students must have their relaxation and fun. Far be it from us to deny them this; we like it ourselves now and then. But we do feel that these students should choose more distant places to undergo this form of exercise, and that the proper authorities should see to it that there is less noise around the library. Campus Opinion Editor: Daily Kansan It's a far cry from the old-fashioned milk can and milk bucket to the individual bottles which are served in modern eating houses. We are daily L. A. B. But, don't guardian and informer over things librarian, medical, and instructorial, kindly answer this one. Must be a public institution to begin furnish strains through which to drink milk, or will take medicine? What are top of the individual service bottles?
