THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4.1932 A NEW LEAF Not that this is New Year's day or that we're attempting to deliver a sermon, but this is the logical time to go into a dark corner, rub the dust off the Bible and promise yourself to make this semester one to write home to the folks about. Perhaps a rabbit's foot would be equally effective. Theoretically at least, the slate is clean, and all ready for new marks. Whether these marks are a credit or a disgrace will depend almost wholly upon the determination and perseverance with which each day's tasks are performed. And to those students entering the University for the first time we can't resist offering this bit of advice: keep your feet on the ground and your nose buried in your books. There's a lot of the truth in the idea that a foundation of good work done through the early part of the semester will be worth its weight in grade points when the final day of reckoning draws near. At times the going will be tough, you'll fancy all your profs have your name in their little black books, financial worries will arise to plague, and in all probability an occasional tiff with the one and only will detract from the Elysian serenity of things as they are. But with a little extra effort the discouragements can be overcome before they react fatally. The track is clear and the signals are all set for a through trip. It's up to you to get up the steam it is said that Hoover is planning a national organization to divert hoarded money for economic purposes. If he wants to test his money-finding experts, he might send them around here about the end of next week. If they can find any money on Mount Oread after fee-paying time, they will be O.K. for ferencing it out anywhere else ANOTHER SLANT ON INDIA An information column in this week's Collier's contains the statement that Moslems in India who are prevented by their religion from receiving interest on loaned money have it invested for them by Hindu friends who have no such regulation. Assuming that this statement is correct, it is conceivable that perhaps the views that have come out of India concerning inter-religious conflict are somewhat overdrawn and that there, as elsewhere, many scruples are overcome by the very human desire for financial gain. As a matter of fact, most histories agree that the strife in India previous to English control was caused by warfare among the native princes who covered their greedy desires by protesting protection of their religions. If the peoples of India wanted anything badly enough, religion would be little barrier to their unification, just as it has been little real barrier to the things that people have really, honestly or dishonestly, wanted anywhere. BULL-HEADED JAPAN In diplomatic circles Japan's reefual to accept the terms of the Anglo-American peace proposals would probably be described as "firm." But here in America we have a good old-fashioned Yankee term that describes the Japanese attitude much more succinct and that picturesque phrase is "bull-headed." Japan has checkmated the world powers protesting against her high handed methods in China. There is no justification for the continuation of hostilities, in view of the fact that China has agreed to practically all the terms Japan has laid down to her as the price of peace. But Japan holds the whip hand in the situation and she is smart enough to realize that her position will not be challenged as long as she avoids treading upon the toes of those countries having property interests in the battle areas. Thus she can carry out her imperialistic expansion policy with impunity, disregarding all pleas for peace. The futility of dealing with the situation through diplomatic channels is forcibly demonstrated by Japan's absolute refusal to permit the participation of any third power in the negotiations with China as far as the Manchurian controversy is concerned. And the irony of the whole affair is the fact that even should Japan design to abide by the Anglo-American proposals there is small possibility that peace could be brought about before she had accomplished every one of her doubtful objectives. So Japan goes olitely on her way, ignoring with Oriental running all protests. She is proud and haughty, and in view of present conditions she may well afford to be so. But perhaps she has never heard the old saying, "Pride goeth before destruction—" It would seem highly probable that some of the folks who spent their time joining this and that organization before the depression would be glad now to get a paid- membership in some first class bread line. A press story relates that an elephant stopped a railroad train by pulling the air whistle. About next November there's going to be another elephant anxious for an opportunity to whistle too. "A Super-Group at Geneva."—Headline in Kansas City Times Well, we might as well prepare for war again; another super peace discussion is starting. Shoes are marks of distinction in Moscow, a report states. They are a mark of distinction in this country too—if they don't have holes in the soles. W be wonder if the man who wrote "Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries" ever heard of worms? Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan; After seeing the K. U.-M. U., basketball game Saturday night in Columbia I have come to the conclusion that the Missouri Tigers should be called "Missouri's Sleeping Beauty." But the last twelve minutes of the first half, the so-called game became a farce. After waiting patiently for nearly ten minutes while the Tiger players conversed and the coach nodded, the Missouri crowd started booing. Some were razzing their own team; other in loud tones impeded the Jayhawks to come out and get the ball away from them. The quarter was not in a mood to be tricked by such tactics. So the half ended with three Tiger players engaged in deep conversation in the center of the court and part of the Kansas队 recalling Such a system of stalling as was exhibited by the Tigers Saturday night would ruin the season, but many college or high school teams. Basketball owes most of its ever-growing popularity to the fact that they are so much more valuable as a system the Tigars are using takes away the greatest beauty of the games. Moreover, if such playing had brought out their innate potential, it would justifiable. But the Tigers gained absolutely nothing by scoring twelve minutes in a single game and saved themselves, but so did the Jayhawks. Perhaps loups I hope that wherever the Missouri team plays, the fives will give the team a merited razing if they resort to tactics again. When they bring their weapons, they will help give the Figures 39. I hope that every K. U. student will help to give them a real razing, if they start their stalling again. Such a system must be checked if basketball is to continue in its present state of popularity, and since the giant fives are no longer a leader in a movement to check the ruination of basketball. T.M.B. with soft cushions should be furnished for the Tigers during time-out periods, so that they might get a more beneficial rest! Our Contemporaries Columbia Missourian: Over the other waves on Sunday night from Geneva came the words "Every country believes that it alone is idealistic and all the other countries are This bombhell sentence came after the speaker had assured the world that the people of England held that American statesman had got everything during these last fifteen years that they so out for and that consequently England whose honest action had burden her reservation to the money of these crafty Americans. "Every country believes that its own diplomats are open and above board but that all diplomats of other countries are oily, suave—and dishonest." We toot feel the same way. The poes conference opening this week evokes the phrases from many Americans we are honest, but how do we know with, you untanned. American statement however proficient can hardly cap all with the craft training of these firefighters . . . they won't keep their promises anyway . . . there's no use anyway because Americans are the only one who will keep the treat, except maybe they'll find some way to get around it." In fact not only will all of them be heard, but all of them will be heard in every tonite spoken in this good old speech. It is not the same phrase or other will convey exactly the same thoughts in the same way expressing the same confidence in the speaker. How many other such snap phrase can you think of? They'll all be heartier sooner or later. If each nation would only realize the all the rest of the nations are going into the disarmament congress with just as much effort as they are putting on the propaganda spread by many sources would in vain try to make this world a future battleground Marquette Tribune: APPEALING TO DEPRAVITY And now what does it mean? Merely that each nation ultimately wants to be honest but doesn't quite dare true the other, that people believe in the truths and believe that you there must be at least one thief in every crowd. What they do not realize is that the rest are probably good men who given卢斗 a chance will band together to help them. College students, of course, are included in this issue of humanity. Their curiosity helps support these magnificent sites. They, as others, appreciate the subtle, degrading dirt that parade itself on the pages under the guide or entertainment and pleasurable reading "wise use of leisure time." Each autumnly suggestive picture and cuttlefish are accompanied with richness an incredible enjoyment. New morale magazines are on the stands. In the downtown furry, crowd surge past, many of them with a cop in hand. They hurry on, peculiarly ally grin adoring their faces. The magazine well as tell us Comic or Chestnutfield is on. Their only attraction is their fifth one of the jokes of those magazine re-downtown Apparently the fittors give no heed to the wide-reach effect of their publications. They prelate only the tremendous draw. Such enjoyment is difficult to understand. For the magazines, though possibly written in a clever and subtly fascinating way, haven't a thing to comment them. Quite obviously, they like literature. And they aren't even funny. Economize at KEELER'S BOOK STORE Books School Supplies Pictures DR.

MORTAR AND BALL: lim power, the material gain increased by circulation or misguided advertisers, and it is increasingly a factor of the modern youth, which is most readily accessible to the reach of the young. That college students enjoy them—for they do it is mainly because they are passing through the stage when that moment occurs. That realizes only too well that the magazines are off-color, and they hurry over the pages of comparatively clean pictures and layouts. And it certainly requires so particular intellectual attainment to understand most of the jokes, to more fully appreciate the art of fry or a pan of fish. The use to which the magazines may be put, though neglected in many cases, is good for weak paper-basket-elogging.
