THURSDAY, JANUARY 22, 1931 GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE UNION At the termination of a severe test, the Union building has proved to be a popular student enterprise. Some time ago there were those who believed that the University of Kansas could not appreciate a building designed for the purpose of providing a social atmosphere for the entire student body. Many people did not think the student body democratic enough to support such a project. Today there is little question that almost everyone enjoys the privileges of the Union. The cafeteria daily serves hundreds of students. The lounge rooms with their comfortable chairs and facilities for entertainment are always crowded, and the ball room which has recently been provided with a temporary ceiling, is the rendezvous of many social events. Perhaps a few have not yet learned of the many services offered by the building. This group would be wise to take advantage of its opportunities and help to put over one of the finest projects which the University has sponsored. In the recent controversy over the power commissioners the regular Republics stood by President Howard but they didn't have much to say for REALLY? Is the Kansas City Star serious? In commenting on the fact that Doctor Brooks, former president of the University of Missouri, will assist in the De Moły work at Kansas City it says, "He has an intimate understanding of the problems of young people. **** It is appropriate that he should round out his career in a place of such genial opportunity." Yes we seem to recall his sympathetic attitude toward the sex questionnaire and other attempts to clarify some of the misconceptions of youth. There seems to be a movement among the instructors on the Hill to get the students worn out by Friday, and it looks like they're going to get it done. CRIMINALS? The manner in which a raid of several hundred unemployed men and women on an Oklahoma City grocery store was broken up by peace officers is a severe condemnation of our method of dealing with people who violate the conventions of society, Perhaps the mob of unemployed may have exceeded the limits ordinarily imposed by discretion. Perhaps they were incited by leaders with little tact or judgment. But the fact remains that when men and women are hungry and when their children are hungry, the inhibitions of civilization mean nothing to them. Self-preservation is the strongest of all instincts, and all men revert to the elemental reactions when threatened with extinction. Such outbreaks as the one in Oklahoma City indicate all too clearly that property rights are still as dominant over personal rights as they ever have been. Tear gas may be a more humane method of preserving them than bayonets and muskets, but when the leaders of a group of men and women determined to get food for their children will "be prosecuted to the full extent of the law", while the hungry ones remain uplifted, the authorities are not actuated primarily by considerations of humanity. The development of the food raid at Oklahoma City expose our departments of justice as guardians of property. When individuals in this land where every man is entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness encroach on the rights of property in order to attack them with tear bombs, attacked with tear bombs, treated as criminals and threatened with the full "penalty of the law." Mr. Charles Scott of the Iola Register grows excited over the use of "fumt" for "foast" by editors. The Kansen rejoices in its distinguished backlog. It has been trying for a long time to cue Kansas and Kansas City papers of this remarkable rendering of their mother tongue, but thus far hasn't got very far with the reform. Maybe Mr. Scott can put it across. IT WON'T BE LONG NOW It's all over but the shouting and everyone can have his own definition of shouting, but in this case we should call it finals. For the next week students will do many queer things. But the queerst rest their minds. In almost any organized house at some hour just before or after lunch or dinner, one will hear such queer sounds as "one spadé" "two hearts!" "two no?" Upon investigation a bridge game is found in progress. For instead of spending every spare minute with the books at final time, students practically become car2 spare minute with the books at final time, students practically become card fiends. It takes concentration, eyestrain, and some sort of brains to play, but the main fact is that if one goes out one or two or three, it will not be so nearly fatal as to do the corresponding thing in that 'very hard final' the next day. Anyway it is a good way to take one's mind off the subject. THE KATZ BROTHERS CHANGE THEIR MINDS The Katz Brothers, who have now received a second demand for money from extortionists, have evidently learned their lessons. Last time Mr Katz paid the $100,000 without a murmur and refused to identify any suspects as his kidnappers. This time, instead of agreeably complying with the order to leave a more $35,000 in a brown paper wrapping one half mile south of the Independence-Liberty bridge, he culled up Colonel Edward's of the Chamber of Commerce crime-prevention bureau and told him the whole story. If Mr Katz had done this in the first place he would have shown himself more of a man. It takes courage to combat criminals, and to hold out against threats, but this is the only way to protect the rest of the public. If the lives and property of the persons in a community are to be secure, everyone must help. Those who fearfully encourage crime against others. What the American nation needs is a fighting attitude. Let the cities in the United States show the spirit of the country posses and the criminal's business will begin earlier now.

Massachusetts Journal of a Christmas Trip to the South --mobile, Blood, Pennsylvania, we mounted the Gulf Coast, though they seem to have little preservation of their old character, and therefore will disappoint the romantic fan base. We had to see Cochrane Bridge beyond Mobla, total length 10 yrs, according to the map, toll 115. We felt that the "bridge" turned out quite an ordinary dam through shallow water for people in Germany would say if the authorities would dare augest a toll on a bridge on a public highway; it was hard to imagine, and sometimes can be. Though I remember that as a young inexperienced teacher I forced the unfortunate student to heart the names of all the 48 states of U.S. he has never been able to memorize them myself, trust to the old stories about what matter your "you know," if you can only touch "other people." But now I have discovered that traveling is not just about the land. By Bruno Radtke THE GULF COAST by Columbus the Xilh This is the third of a series of articles written by Dr. Bruno Radke, exchange professor in German, in which he relates the eccentric and impressions which he and his fellow countryman, Johann Wielmann, exchanges scholarships, grasped in a motor car, trip taken during the Christmas holidays to the South. It was already dark when we reached they decline to the comparative unir he coast at Bay Saint Louis. As soon pertance of today. Certainly this w we could distingush the water, one of the most interesting chapters fiction a century moonlight, we history. It was already dark when we presen- the caust to Bai Sant Louis. As soon as he began his reflection, the sun reflecting a beauty moonlight, we stopped and left the car. "So this is a companion, with that ring in his voice which indicates romantic emanation of Two days later we discovered that we had been standing right in front of an elaborate garbage deposit. Alas 20th century romanesque! "You have come four months too early," said the man at the filling station, butting his thick fur coat, when he heard a woman bait in tropical sunshine. "We have quite a few people here," he said when we eagerly inquired after the number of people baited two people from Karaas. "(By the way, I can't quite say why Southwaters always assume a peculiar accent when we are speaking about 'people from Karaas.'" The coast Drive was illuminated by a number of Christmas trees beautifully decorated with colored electrodes and electric lights. Leaiding boxes, but strongly contrasting with a surrounding of palm trees in a semi-tropic atmosphere, Carolina is not a very interesting destination. The Southern hotel with a row of fine palms in front of it. As the chief harbor of the state of Mississippi it is more important, especially as business seems to be expanding here, than the establishment of the 18th amendment. Near Bloxford we met on our way poles with the mysterious inscription, "Oat." I had a rather queer sensation as they passed me. We were standing similar poles to indicate the fighting zone in the East ("Oat") in German. But soon we found out that we were not alone; there were other sailors Trait that once ran from St. Augustine to San Diego right through the continent. What a race of daring indiscriminate sailors was. Spaniards have been, and he could There is a magnificent coast drive between Bay Saint Louis and Pasacagua where you cross charming bay towns like Coronel Negro. Everyone who has seen the French Riviera will feel inclined to compare it with the Gulf Coast. I think they love the gardens and gardia climate and vegetation; but nevertheless, they are rather different in character. Here you will miss the breathtaking views of the other hand, you will not find that admiable accumulation of numberless hotels, that make the Riviera so exotic. We can imagine where the nature-loving traveller will find it impossible to enjoy his life. On the Gulf Coast you meet a large number of gardens. Of course, there are a few architectural styles that look exactly like private homes, with their pretty front gardens. Of course, there are a few unusual styles that show the exception. And I would not miss them, as it is very nice to have your picture taken standing in front of the beach. You will also see those 'stirring snapshots' which you may send to your jealous friends at home who are so deeply interested in the beauty of the coast, more also much the same of a bathing place than the Riviera, there is no shingle, and most houses have little bathing platforms at this wind for sunbathing. Reminds One of Rivlera Preserve Little of Old Character By a nice bridge over the picturesque Perdido river we entered the state of Florida, a name that strongly evokes the paradise scene inhabited by treemendously rich people squandering their money in eccentric pleasures and perhaps some unwillingly unimportant society. The nevertheless, I shall not feel embarrassed if people at home will me. "Have you ever been in Florida?" Between Mahls and Pensacola the landscape becomes more and more monotonic, all with scentry grass and slush pines with extremely long spikes. They are a "district" New Brandenburg," because it reminded me so much of the country near Berlin. The likelihood is so great that I even would not dare send home the maphopes we took there, because the gardens would think I was kidding them. Reach Turning Point As modern men, the majority at least, cannot live regardless to their financial resources. Penausca, a busy but not very interesting harbor, had to be rented out because we went back to Mobile to spend Christmas eve. The city shows a decidedly southern, almost Latin character. Narrow, busy street where most of our buildings are on the sidewalk remind us of Italy, if it were not for the typically American architecture of the Gothic public buildings. From our host we overloaded a charming square with oriental palm trees covered with a fine flowing fountain in the warm sunlight and on benches in the warm sunshine. Christmas seems not to be such a favorite with Southerners as it is with us. A Northerner will miss here the true Christmas atmosphere with the chilly air, and you will find with snow in the streets, and a bright fire in the chimney or in the kitchen --where a cove or a nave will be roasting in the oven; nothing to say of the traditional Christmas tree. This comes from the fact that you had picked up a miniature pins as Christmas树. With the help of a few candles, apples, nuts, abrons and, most importantly, flowers, you ranged equally a nice Christmas table in our hotel room. Naturally, we felt a bit biothemist, who can but help than that. We were grateful for the fine chance we had got to study a foreign country among well-meaning people under most favorable conditions. Dainty Feminine Teddies $2.95 and $1.95 Peach. Nile. Flesh Our Special Hose with excellent wearing qualities After a visit of three happy days we left the Gulf coast. Having driven for quite a while on a rather trying Mississippi gravel road we met a huge notice board with the inscription "You now enter the State of Louisiana, paved roads are still a good many unpaved roads in Louisiana I cannot help liking this kind of interurbance open rivalry, so uncertainties can have changed much since can only profit from such ambitions. Pearl river is a perfect romance and cocos not to have changed much since they were not built." The low swampy banks are covered with impenetrable virgin woods that have flourished here; the whole gulf seems to be one enormous oyster-bed.
