WEDNESDAY JANUARY 6.1932 OUR PALS With final examinations less than three weeks off, professors at the University of Kansas are spending many sleepless nights—sleepless nights which in turn will cause students many unhappy hours and an overconsumption of coffee. Why? Because the "brain" of the campus are busy making up final examination questions. Queer fellows, these professors. They tell a student not to worry, and yet they consider every question—well, almost every question from this standpoint: this one's too easy, but here's one that will make them sweat. Yet within the next two weeks these dear souls will warn the students not to cram, and assure them that finals can be passed easily if the students will come prepared by a good night's sleep. And the Good Book says: Love thy neighbor as thyself. MONEY TALKS Well, it's leap year out in the movie colony as well as other places. But how are Gloria Swanson and Constance Bennett going to be eligible when they've both got new husbands? Even in Hollywood it isn't ethical to change more than once a year, is it? Great Britain has again acted in favor of capitalistic interests, and for a second time Mahatman Gandhi has been arrested for "good and sufficient reasons," as the English put it. Gandhi had returned to his native land recently after a conference in London had failed to gain rights for India—rights that would have made it less possible for British industries to continue exploitation in India. Gandhi and his followers have requested above all things that a tariff barrier, which makes it possible for English goods to be brought into India without duty while other nations pay, be removed so that high, arbitrary prices set by English manufacturers could be overcome by foreign competition. Great Britain veted this measure unanimously, and as soon as Gandhi set about preaching economies to his people again he was thrown in jail. Gandhi cannot address and lead his followers while in prison. The British have closed the mouthpiece of India—but to what end? Another nationalistic campaign of non-violence will follow, British goods will be at a standstill, and in the end Gandhi will be released to continue his work. Britain, should have learned her lesson by the reactions of other colonies she has exploited, but evidently capital is as boneheaded as it is selfish. "Poise, purpose and perseverance" is the motto Mary Emmy Woolley, woman delegate to Geneva, gives to her students. Well, we'll agree that "poise, and poiseverance" are necessary, but we occasionally like to throw a leg over the arm of the lecture room chair. RESOLUTIONS The traditional custom of resolving to do all manner of new and wonderful things during the New Year is highly commendable but wholly impracticable. Probably out of ten or fifteen New Year's resolutions, not one has the moral stamina to stand 365 days of buffeting. Obviously the life span of a resolution can be increased if the individual is careful when forming his resolution. Thus, it is easier to eat three times daily, despite present conditions, than it is to stop smoking. Until February first, a resolution to study will not be hard to keep. But the person who makes such a resolution for the whole year is likely to encounter difficulties immediately following final examination. Resolutions, then, are worthwhile. Every student should make them. And each student should form resolutions so easy to keep that by 1933 it can be said that Jayhawkers lead the collegiate world in keeping New Year's resolutions. A minister of the gospel recently convicted of forgery, if he keeps up his penwork after his release, may have some difficulty in forging a passport to the pearly gates. STEREOTYPES The American people have a habit of putting stereotypes upon every other nation of the world. When the average American thinks of China he thinks of Chinese laundries, rice, and chop suey. Who in America thinks of Russia who does not think of Russian singers, long beards, and a vast land covered with snow and ice? And so it is with every other nation. Most people go through life carrying these stereotypes with them, and never finding out that they are wrong. A few people find out, some time in their education, that many of these stereotypes will not stand up under investigation. them, and never finding out that they are wrong. A few people find out, some time in their education that many of these stereotypes will not stand up under investigation. Why then, would it not be a good idea to educate the American people about other peoples of the world? Instead of trying to place so much stress upon political and economic situations in the different countries we might try to learn how they live in other countries. We might try to learn about their thoughts, their affairs, and their sorrows. In short we should try to learn that people of other nations are human beings just like ourselves, thinking and doing pretty much the same things that we are doing. After that we shall probably have enough interest in them to learn about their political SUCH A MUDDLE At last . . . maybe a solution to the Hill traffic problem. The women's gym adviser announces the deadline for a "Girls' Motor Ability Test." Every rising sun seems to show the gaining impetus of unrest, rebellion, crime and misery on the progress of our democracy. Every fellow blames the next one for the ills to which he has fallen heir. Few are willing to admit that their troubles are, at least in part, self made. Just before the war we became the biggest spenders in the history of man. We went luxury-mad forgetting that four from two leaves minus two, in spite of our reasonable mathematical knowledge. Farming has become demoralized not because of five cent cotton and the tariff, but possibly because of waste, abuse of credit, and laziness. Many of us who rode before, are walking now. Crooks and deadbeats have been working side by side in society. Hypocrites and saints have been supporting the church alike. It is about time the sheep were separated from the goats. Those who have found that they win through shady paths are subject to our investigation. The quality of manhood we choose for office should not be narrowed to those who have no other way of making a living than politics. Each voter should have the wholesome qualifications of an office holder. No whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The trouble with these surveys of student opinion is that the results are likely to be just 50-50. GREENER PASTURES Brig. General C. H. Mitchell, dean of the faculty of engineering at the University of Toronto, is revising the admonition of Horace Greeley, "Go West, young man," to "Go North, young man." In a recent address before the British Association for the Advancement of Science he elaborated on the resources and possibilities of the Canadian dominion. There are few countries in North America who cannot exhibit them. THE GRADUATE'S PLIGHT Naturally the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence to American students, and they are attracted by foreign enterprises. America with its rich resources should furnish opportunity ample to keep its own scientists busy. America needs them to keep her status in the scientific world, in addition to facilitating the practical utility of her own resources. University and college students graduating during the present economic depression are encountering grave difficulty in finding employment. And from the difficulties thus encountered, they have come to realize more than ever before the importance of specialized training. In times such as these, even the best trained graduates have found it next to impossible to find jobs because of their lack of practical experience in their particular fields. In nearly every line of work they must apply in competition with men who have had years of experience to supplement their training. Thoroughly competent men, who have held responsible positions during the years of prosperity prior to 1930, have been thrown out of work, and are now looking for employment. The provinicials of speech peculiar to the United States will be laid away among forgoner things when present groups of western students begin to take part in a program. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIX Wednesday, 6.1922 No. 83 A regular meeting of the K. U. branch of the A. I. E.

From the Christian Science Monitor: SPEAKING OF AMERICAN SPEECH Our Contemporaries This is the conclusion of a no less august body than the Western Association of Teachers of Speech, which may be used in schools where it is not new, in insomuch as it is generally conjected that the speech of the great composer of English literature might reasonably be looked for in a country where such vast opportunities prevail for even the humblest man. So the problem of finding work is now rather discouraging even for the most highly specialized and thoroughly trained college man. But for his comparatively unspecialized contemporary, the probability of finding work is almost nil. Unless he has unusually good business connections, or fits readily into his father's business, the average graduate must expect to search weeks, or even several months before he finds employment. JACK C. BROUS, Secretary. A. I. E. E.; (A) They will be a meeting of the A. S. M. E Thursday evening at 9 o'clock in Marion auditorium. Two interesting motion pictures are to be shown. All will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday. A. S. M. E.; Standardized speech has long been the aim of educators in the United States, the least of which is to prepare the least, to separate the New Englander, the southerner and the middle westerner from their so-called favourite school.

NEWMAN JEFFREY. For in many parts of the United States, dialect almost amounts to a definite folk language. The New Englenders' "ax" that have the sound of a catfish is an exaggerated on eastern visiting the South would be loath to relinquish the pleasure of standing between the pillars of a southern colonial doorway and hear-ers from outside the town street. "Please,苏,sh,您’ye all‘es’right inside?" From The Cincinnati Enquirer BOOK OF BOOKS It was Gladstone who referred to "The Eternal Rock of the Holy Scripture" as the "signification of particularity at this season, to realize that the impregnable authority of Christianity still stands for and away above any profane literary production which is not scriptural." The British and Foreign Bible Society reports the sale of 11,000,000 copies in the last fiscal year. And now the American Bible Society reports the sales of another seven thousand books in the year. Twenty-three million copies in a single year! No fanfare of advertising trumpets was back of this phenomenal enter-ance. And the rest is hawking. The Christian world voluntarily seeks the Divine Record because it remains the anchor of faith, the guide of human conduct, the preserver of God's grace. Russia may abolish God and all the forms and ceremonials of religious observance, but the impregnable rock revered in the ancient world against which the waves of unfaith bein in vain, as they have beaten in vain through the centuries. "The best seller" competes with the "best seller" form of prophetic inspiration in the dim days of the race's awakening. It still comes to earth's children fresh, immutable, and in numbness. It is born in the life of man in this life and its life hereafter. Thursday Night We make this a special night with music, food and the free hot biscuits.
