MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1931 IF WINTER COMES That long stretch of amiable weather that locality has known for the pas few weeks changed sometime last night Rain came, but it was not the old loud blustery squalls that February usually gives to Kansas. Stirring the earth so softly and rhythmically, as if to apologize for its belated appearance, the rain fell on sand-dried ground and was swallowed loosely. Grass, patched by the long siege of the sun, is deepening to a tender green, and occasionally a yellow sky with swirling clinging drop. There is; today, no sun; a sky subdued and grey has supplanted the metallic bright one that has been with us so long. And the wind is blowing causally. It may be winter, but the proof lacks convincingness. THE PROPOSED BILL ON OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS Education cannot be measured by rule; neither can it be measured by weight. Education takes into account things from far and near and is so intangible as to defy measurement. It is safe to assume that now there are as many Kansas students going to out of state schools as there are non-resident students enrolled in Kansas schools. If this is not the case it is a tribute to our educational system; if it is true and the Kraner bill is passed Kansas will be placed in a position of taking much and giving little. The proposal to tax non-resident students so much more than resident students would decrease the enrollment of all state schools, bring censure and retaliating laws from other states, and would make the schools political stock to be bargained in to the best advantage of politicians. Our faculty would become the trembling henchmen of unscrupulous politicians. It would be impossible to retain the present faculty of political free thinkers. TIMES CHANGE There are a lot of pernicious and enigmatic questions being asked here of late. An example is that humans keep asking, "Whither civilization?" Another is, "Whither culture?" Each has to do with mankind at large; in the minds of several loyal Jay-hawker followers, there is one local inquiry that has become more imminent since the football season ended. It is since the football season ended. It is "Whither school spirit?" With a Big Six football championship definitely aucorp her bow, the University has again relaxed. "Phop" Allen has built a smooth-working, hard-playing basketball team, now tied for the lead of the Big Six with Nebraska. There was a time, perhaps, when the possibility of two successive valley titles would have put the school in a frenzy; but present indications point emphatic proof that those days are definitely over. But he has a casual but bystander, appreciative in a mellow way, interested but not zealous, proud but not ostentatious. Occasionally a crowd hisses the umpine, but it no sooner ties of that diversion. No longer does a thru crowd the station to see the victors return. Old college novels away back in the decade from 1914 to 1924, painted those scenes memorialy; inmates in turtle-neck sweaters quietly alighting; fresh-checked, uncouled co-ed runs forward impulsively, crying. "How proud we are of you!" frock-coated professors unbending enough to say, "The one, I suppose, has its compensations' a school party with playing cards and the heroic quintet struggling through the mental labyrinth of a game like "authors"; the coach, who was no weakling as a speaker, arising and the great hush that followed, saying among other things, "The team gets the credit for winning, but your fine loyalty is, I assure you, a perceptible factor." And later the whole school convened on the vanous lot, built a kufre fire out of boxes and things, sang until the unholy hour of eleven (p.m.). Then disbanding, they drifted off to their homes, with Tom beside the fresh-chelled, unrugged loss who was so proud of him, and his team-mates somehow being shown the same pride by other appreciative young ladies. Well, those were the days, as has been said, before modern came true. Today a valley championship is just a valley championship. Other things are significant. One must study. One has aged enough so that they are emotionally silly things, rather antidiluvian, and reminiscent of writers like Ralph Barbour (what heroes he had). Zane Grey who eulogized "the Heal'd Pitcher," and their contemporaries. Today Karsun are, when they think of athletics, apt to be more static than costatic. Maybe they have been reading Dasson's "2nd Parallax" or viewing a collection of cubicist paintings. Anyway, we ask the question "Whither the old spirit?" MAYBE HE'S AN AESTHETE Saturday night, William Roberts, of Northwestern University, had arranged to take Helen Kane, the singer of vip songs, to a charity dance. Helen awaited him. The time came for his appearance; Roberts did not appear. Helen grew nerves; she failed to break into song hated instead. Feeling that Mia Kane's artistry might suffer, Fred DeCordova, who understood that Roberts would not appear, gathered Helen up along with his own wife, took her to the party, but later allowed her to go home unaccompanied except by the presence of her own secretary, a woman. Roberts meantime remains shrouded and apart from the general state of affairs. He is an enigma. Is it that his young colleague, perhaps possessing an innate hatred of singing and artists in general, could have succumbed to his inhibitions and disappeared? Or is it logical to believe that he finds beauty and solace in music, and feared seeing someone break out into one of those "boop-薯" sentiments where the hurieron is sp�recited into a "you and me," or "your lips and my lips" sort of inu-ition? Traces of Roberts, as has been said, have not yielded themselves. His character is not known. He is a student; he broke a date with a lady, who in this age and with the standards of this age stands high in her field. The general public likes to think of students as a type that would leap at the chance Roberts had. And on the other hand, there are a lot of collegians hoping that the Northwestern boy's action is an indication that university mans' taste in an agreeable evening are changing. Changing, that is, enough so that Miss Helen Kane, who posts cappaeonious blues, would be distasteful as a companion. THE POLITICAL SCENE IN CHICAGO The egg traffic evidently has not suffered from the racketeer's gavel in Chicago. Last week someone, probably not in strict accord with "Big Bill" Thompson's idea about himself and his administration, loosed a barrage on the heavyweight political savant who is now campaigning for a third term as Chicago's mayor. But what is happening in Chicago? It might be summed up as American politics in all its flumery, a scene that is interesting because it is such an extravaganza. Two figures are most prominent on the stage. "Big Bill's" campaign is carried out with the aid of a circle of array animals, and he himself is surrounded by pelicans, a blustering monkey, a baghog and, a chambermaid in a bunkhouse, by the other figure, Judie John H. Lyle. The latter, a municipal judge, has been called "just another professional politician", although we had thought that all politicians were of a professional nature while college reserves the right to distinguish between amo- teurism and professionalism in their athletes. Chicago has another week left to sit back and enjoy its primary race between Big Bill of the ponderous girth, and his slim-waisted crusading opponent, Lyle. Big Bill says he doesn't want the office for what it has to offer in the nature of a salary, adding perhap that his presence is needed to see the world as it is here in the World's Fair, which is to be held there in 1933. Lyle charges Thompson with criminal alliances that are throttling the city. And while the flamboyant show continues, people are being killed, business held up, and new criminal records hung up in a city that has outgrown its facilities for proper protection from the corruption of politics. Our Contemporaries COLLEGE DRINKING There has been an undue amount of publicity because some place between two and six students of the State University, or alleged students, were arrested in Oladbe and Topeka for having small amounts of intoxicating liquor. The Associated Press and all other news gathering associations would rather make an interesting story out of one fact than out of two thousand who do right. Under this survey made at Lawrence It was found that about twenty per cent of the respondents drank, and that barely any of them could be classified as doing more than drinking at some social meeting, eating lunch at a restaurant or to town with bottles on their hats. to any individuals and presumably to any others. Boys have a habit of sibling this and it is one of the glories of youth that it allows for. It also makes it easier to accept hypothetic statements. A little while ago the University authorities made a survey of the situation among the students in regard to whether they were not credited to any individuals I doubt if any similar group of youth men in the country could make a better showing, and it is certainly unfair to these lads at Lawrence and at the police station up to public scarcity just because there are a few who do not keep the faith. There are some three thousand men students at Lawrence and I presume a hundred or two hundred of them or perhaps more would take a drink if they were offered to me. I am quite sure these folks their folks at home would do the same. Drinking is not the worst habit for many men, but it is enough. It enough because of the general interest through the country in the subject of prohibi- ... Perhaps it will be a long time before all the boys in the high schools and colleges quit drinking. It will probably be about the time that the men outwardly respect each other, drinkering and that date seems to somewhat distant as yet. But at least we can take comfort from the fact that they are more sensitive to the spirit which make them natural friends of truth and enmeshes of hypocery. It is from their ranks that the important leadership in total abstinence has grown. We can see the real hope for the future.

Development of General Electric are welding has largely been the work of college-trained men. Others of the college men at General Electric are largely responsible for the high reputation won by hundreds of G-E products used in industry and in the home during the last thirty-seven years. Arc welding is being used more and more in the fabrication of buildings and machinery, the construction of pipe lines and tanks, and as a repair tool of universal utility. Silently, swiftly, rigidly, economically, are welding knits steel with joints as strong as the metal itself.
