KANSAS' SCIENTISTS
The University of Kansas has been ranked as second only to an eastern university, proportionally speaking, in the number of its graduates who are now starred scientists among American Men of Science.
The revelation came about through a survey conducted by Stephen H. Fisher and printed in the February number of the Journal of Higher Education
in the journal to bring education.
It is especially gratifying to both students and alumni and citizens of the state arm of this school, the geographic frontier in the center of these United States—and because, too of its own circling leadership, Kansas has often been cast in an ill perspective; it has been the object of juvenile and causal references in abundance. Many things, both in section and national significance, have had their origin in Kansas. The germ of prohibition was abetted in Kansas (we confess it is an optional subject) "Doc" Brinkley made a good run for governor; the free states and pro-slavery people fought uniquely over our soil; cyclones do exist in the western areas; Charlie Curius is now vice-president; Kansas does not have capital punishment; Kansas grows lots of wheat; it is both ugly and beautiful in certain sections; but it does have sparkling personalities, men of affairs and other distinctive features that mark the people of other states.
It is such survey reports of the ranking of Kansas education that is doing more and more toward keeping Kansas students in their own state for their preliminary college work. The enthusiasm of University faculty members, their co-operation and general helpfulness has for its reward the promotion of this institution and state.
The drinking discords emanating from Kansas had one harmonic note. The same day that the fraternities pledged to go on "the waterwagon," the annual three-day water works school for city officials and employees opened. Also a slight rain fell.
LAW ENFORCEMENT: ANOTHER EXTRA-CURRICULA ACTIVITY?
The birth of the Committee of Eight is an antithetic throwback on modern life, and an excellent pointer toward the general fallacies that beset law enforcement. In its way it is similar to the Marysville mob or the Klu Klux Klan or the gangster code. Local students who drink will be, according to the threats of the Committee of Eight, automatically placed "on the spot." The committee's gesture may be launched because law has become so thoroughly diluted through community power of the one small order that it negates such an aid, and places it more in the form of interference than that of help.
Liquor conditions at the University at Kansas have not been (nor are they now) in condition alarming enough that the school administration and town authorities are incapable of coping with them. A composite opinion, despite the adverse publicity of late, would undoubtedly yield the view that drinking has been less general than in years heretofore. The United States faces a huge issue in the advisability of prohibition, and the question has grown to such significance that the public is keenly aware of every move relative to liquor and its control.
sandled only when centralized.
The duty of a citizen in any nation is to uphold constitutional regulations as an individual, and when he intersect with his neighbor to an extent where he police every movement, then he himself has broken faith with the law. Officials are meant to handle policing, and citizens are meant to handle their own orderly behavior. When both those conditions exist, the enforcement problem will disappear.
An investigator has found that women wearing larger shoes make better wives. At least a woman nowadays wears a dress, no longer harder on conventional subjects.
A BLUE LAW MAY GO
Will Kansas advocate Sunday movies? There is a labor bill before the house of representatives in the state legislature now asking for the repel of the state's "blue laws" established 63 years ago.
The kill would effect the repot of the kill concerning labor on Sunday, "other than house hold duties, work of the mob," according to Chich. The movies have been prohibited.
Many Kansas towns, Wichita for example, have Sunday shows in spite of the state law. The municipal vote shows they are approved and denied by voters.
ample, have Sunda shown in spite of the state law. The municipal vote showed that Sunda shows were approved and desired by the majority.
The proposed measure if passed would leave the decision of whether movies should be shown on Sundays up to the local government of the community. This is the practical operation of the present law due to the lack of enforcement which it is given.
As the law now stands if the local government neglects to enforce the蓝 laws and group of citizens can appeal to the office of the state attorney general for enforcement. The new law would望 the attorney-general from the inconsistency of enforcing the law in some communities and not in others.
Only four percent of Alabama's population is illiterate, and if we take Senator Huflin as an indicator none are inarticulate.
MUSEUM VISITORS
The day of all days to go into Dyche museum is Sunday.
It is the people who come there that day who make interesting the fossils, the mounted birds, the life-like animals, Families, lovers, a crew of small girls, a troupe of exclamating ladies and occasionally one lone individual wander from wonder to wonder. They say little. Perhaps it is because they are children. It is not every day that one sees the leg or the anatomy of the Plateauphus Coryphaeus, or sketches of other pre-historic beasts.
You can kill two birds with one stone by going to Dyche on Sunday. You study what collectors have gathered, and meantime you note the people. You cannot leave them without a deep admiration. They are quiet, honest, absorbed. And they drink in the whole panorama of posed animals downstairs, and later wander happily amongst the fossils and ancient trinkets upwards. They are splendid to have as guests.
"Urges a Democratic Boll."—Head oe, Kansas City Star.
When the Roman emperor, Claudius II, made St. Valentine a martyr because they could not reach an understanding on religious matters, he would undoubtedly have been surprised to know that 1651 years later the anniversary of that event was still being celebrated. And it is not unreasonable to suppose that St. Valentine himself would share that surprise should he be buried in the church on February 4, 1651, and see how far the occasion which originally were used in observing the occasion are now being departed from.
THE VALENTINES OF YESTERDAY
It's about time something electric hit that party.
At one time, so our grandmothers might tell us *Valentine* day was a time when bashful swains and coy maidens alike made known their loves. Those were the days when expressions of affection were an aesthetic effect. The affection is more beautiful. Dainty fills, gorgeous laces, day美丽. Driftiness pierces her *Cu* day. Driftiness pierces her *Cu* day.
pid's shafts then adorned these mis-
sives of love that were calculated to set hearts a-pounding and fancies straying.
But the lovely, old-fashioned spirit embodied in the valentines of our grandmothers' youth has been superceded and new fashion in valentines have arisen more in keeping with present day ideas of romance. The frill and lace are mostly gone. The pretty sentiment is scarcely more than a memory. In their stead we have some monstrous and cheaply gaudy imitations. Candy and flowers. Frigidaries and flowers are now pinch hitting for the loving hearts and Cupid's shirts formerly dedicated to the need of nameness.
A pretty custom is falling into decay. Romance is succumbing to commercial exploitation, And old St. Valentine, could he but witness the sad state of affairs, would probably toss in his coffin and wish he hadn't been a martyr if the occasion must continue to be celebrated in the modern manner.
Another legislature bill! This one that is before the legislature is to change the name of the State Teachers' College to "Kansas State College, Hoya."
WILL. K.S.A.C. HOLD ITS TITLE
If the bill is passed the college will be called Kansas State in all the reporting stories and on all the sport pages of the newspapers. The Agricultural college at Manhattan already has assumed almost a monopoly of this name, and its habitual use of the simple designation "Kansas State" is misleading. If this new change is made it will cause much more confusion.
In almost every Midwestern state the agricultural college is called the State college to distinguish it from the state university, as in Iowa, the agricultural college at Ames is called Iowa State while the Iowa University at Iowa City is called merely Iowa University.
If Hays is given this name, what about the teachers' colleges at Pittsburgh and Emporia? Will they be called state colleges also, and if so how distinguish between them, and what shall we call the Agricultural college?
The term "state" does not belong exclusively to any one of the state schools. It should not be used ambiguously.
DROUGHT RELIEF IN SIGHT
With an expected vote of approval soon on the twenty million dollar reel compromise, Congress has subsided its previous opposition to a third paternal bother, and general bitterness.
If passed by the house, the relief compromise for the stricken areas of the country would mean food and clothing for thousands of needy persons, and no doubt will be the outstanding bit of legislation committed by Congress this session.
Thomas Edison, in the interview he granted on his birthday this week, refused point blank to answer a question about how much money women in the world, unfortunately, however, such wisdom is not acquired one reaches its limits. four. —Ottawa Herald.
That there is need of relief is shown by the fact that five million people are estimated as being unemployed. This acute situation is made more significant when the number of dependents on each unemployed person brings the sum total to about fifteen million persons who are unprovided for.

Our Contemporaries
Man is by nature a generous sort in communion with others for both social and economic ends that spell mutual comfort and friendship. When something goes wrong and business authorities and economists can see no relief in the near future, it is only natural that the distressed should look to Congress for relief—and find it. After all the intention of government by common consent and for the common-wal is for the proper intervention in time like the present.

MATHEMATICS CLUB:
According to Professor De Silva, "Student life at Cambridge, and also at Oxford, differs in several striking respects from our own," Dr Harry R De Silva, associate professor of psychology, said today when asked by a student at the English Universities. Doctor De Silva spent two years studying at Cambridge
"The colleges still maintain control of most of the student's life. They have their own masters, tutors, and lecturers, but they quarter for their members, dining-rooms, and chapels. The university is not purely an academic body, but it approaches one in that the enforcement arm largely left to the individual colleges.
"Students at Cambridge must beellow, either to one of the 17 colleges, to anadult students, or to a House, the hall for non-college students." Doctor De Silvan explained. "The colleges have been for centuries the ruling force in the province, but they have been only within the last ten or 15 years that the university has made itself felt as a body superimposed upon them."
The Mathematics club will meet Monday at 4:30 in room 21c admin-
istration building. LILLY SOMEIS, President.
"What about students' expenses?" the reporter queried next.
"Each of the colleges has a definite characteristic, Professor De Silva added. 'Trinity is the largest college, and we have an exceptional close connection with Eton, the famous English "public school. Formerly it was composed almost entirely of graduates from Trinity," she said. The stands for medicine, and Jesus is renowned for its rowing. The winner in the university boat race is Kerry. The winner in American students at Cambridge "Emmanuel (or Emma) is John Hathaway, the scholarship year earlier. Queen is small but social. Magdalene (Maudlin) is bops of Pepe's library. The women's modern compared with the men's, some of which were founded in the fourteenth century. Strange as it may seem, they little into the life of the university.
Asked if all the students live in the college buildings. Doctor De Silva rejoiced, "They have side," many of them must live in lodgings in the town. "These lodgings differ greatly," he said. "Some are up-to-date, others have no modern conveni-
*St. John's, our own college, and the second largest in university, specializes in physics.* *Dr. Silva went on, "not because I was particularly interested in mathematics, but because Mr. Bartlett, my friend, was one of our colleges and persuaded them to take me in. All of the colleges are exclusive in his office; membership hold entrance exams.*
rooms and travel, as most students do Education at Cambridge does not preface to be for the many. There are a number of courses which students may win through competitive examination, but usually a student there is expected to be a gentleman', which means that the large college and university can be used to cause him no financial worries.'
To the reporter's final question, "I the school year the same as ours?" Doctor De Silva responded. "No. Instead I was at Cambridge has three terms of eight weeks each. the first. or Michaelmas term begins Oct. 1 and ends Dec. 9. The second, or Lent, term is from Jan. 4 through April 7. The third are spent from April 15 until June 24. Students are required to be in residence only six weeks of each term, however, or they are spent in travel on the Continent or an study in some quiet English village."
