TUESDAY, JANUARY 20, 1931 THE LOW-DOWN ON RACKETEERING From a Congregationalist pastorate to a position one of the greatest labor leaders of the world has been the course followed by Paul Blanchard, who will speak at the Noon Luncheon forum in the Union building tomorrow on "Backsteering High and Low." No one can afford to miss this address by Mr. Blanchard without real loss to himself. Blumbard was a member of Phi Beta Kappa at Michigan, but students who study for the good they get out of the course and not for the grades shouldn't hold that against him. He has since shown that he acquired a great deal more from his college education than a mere string of A's and a Phi Beta Kappa key. After graduate study at Harvard and Columbia, he became a Congregationalist minister in Boston. It was during this time that he first become a figure in the labor movement because of his interest in the Saco-Vanzetti case, as a result of which two laborers in Massachusetts were executed against the protests of organized labor throughout the world. More recently he has attracted considerable attention with his plan for a world without unemployment. Without question this speaker from the League of Industrial Democracy will be one whose conceptions will prove stimulating if not convincing. Since that time he has become prominent because of his connection with America's Amalgamated Clothing Workers as educational director, his published studies on the southern cotton mills, his investigation of the Chinese situation during the height of the revolutionary outbreaks there, his trip across Siberia and his stay in Moscow, his special examination of the British labor party, and his life in Italy under Mussolini. The Star was surprised when Kansas legislators all wore ties, and even spats. But the biggest blow was that it could find no whiskers. CLARA WOW "Remember who is the defendant in this case," the judge told Miss De Voet Clara Bowl's erstwhile secretary now being tried for appropriating $30,000 of Clara's income for herself and her "boy friends." The public would do well to remember who is the defendant in the case too, a public which has bestowed hundreds of thousands of dollars on persons of Clara's type. Here is a case made to order for the casual pen of our eratewbritish critic, Mr Mencken. A silly, immature young woman, still flappier in her behaviour siltoo long past the flapper age, one who orders expensive drinks at her front door and thinks she is in love with four men at once, is featured in all our newspapers, overloaded with fan letters, and generally made into a national idol. She has neither brains nor good sense, neither refinement nor education, and yet the public adores her. It would do well to ask itself, on just what basis does it form its judgments of individuals, on reason or on ridiculous hysteria. A FEW COSTLY MINUTES Finals are almost within one's reach. Within four days students will be telling professors what they know or what they do not know. Those who have failed to hand in term papers are working desperately to get material before the deadline, a day or two. Those who have forgotten to open their text books during the semester or have neglected to buy any are beginning to borrow a text. Others are making appointments with instructors to see how they are setting alow. From now until after finals are over the most important and most talked of subject is the library. Hundreds of autobiographical books are available to prepare for the coming "burdles." Library hours are supposed to be from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. on week days and from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Sunday. Sunday afternoon several hundred students were startled when the lights flashed at 4:35. When the lights are flashed everyone is supposed to get ready to leave. The warning is usually given 10 minutes before closing time. Perhaps the clock in the library was at. Maybe the employees thought the lay had been long enough. At any rate library time valuable at this late hour was lost. Did those responsible consider that a few minutes might mean an ower grade for some students? Let's hope the closing hours are not moved up at this crucial hour. BARBER SHOP COACHES Barber shop coaches always know the dope on athletic contests. They know which team will win, what the score be, which men will play, and which coach is the more running. Saturday one of those coaches in a downtown shop intimated that Professor Allen was pulling a Knute Rocke, by encsinging a victory and a championship to another school. The said assistant coach on to say that the score of the K-Angel K-8 game ball game would be 37 to 29 in favor of the Jawahiers. They know the rule books of every sport from cover to cover. They know what is wrong with a team when it loses, and can point immediately to the particular error in the coach's strategy which caused the loss. We wonder what were the nature of the predilutions with which this tensorial artist regaled his customers yesterday. EFFORTS THAT SATISFY This paradox called universe is a perturbing sort of thing for all of us. As witness to this conclusion let us listen to the utterings of some adolescent minds and sagacious college 'students' on the subject. An interview with a number of people between the ripe ages of 14 and 16 jie between the ripe ages of 14 and 16 recounted astounding conceptions, such as "The world is dying from lack of learning; while another was of the opinion that 'the world is dying because of thought' , another younger man who was concerned with moral values declaimed that 'A bad woman influences the life of your children.' Numerous philosophical outbursts of a similar nature come from these young minds, while we as dignified college folk look on and smile in our satisfied manner. Yet strongly enough, we find a similar philosophy even among college seniors such as the one who writes, "Life is a hell of a mess and woman in the complicating factor." Perhaps these conclusions are not all true to our elders, but at least they remind us of the reality thought, which is said to transform the world. Let us be praised for this thing called effort. Boston—(UOP) —Gradual wear and stress of college life is not a myth but a fact, a health questionnaire compiled by the University o-eds at Boston University has revealed. Statistics Prove College Life Injurious to Health Miss Lucy J. Franklin, the dean of women, in explaining the reason for the decrease, said: "The dropping of required physical education courses, and the increase of extra-curricular activities during the junior and senior years are responsible for many of the problems." In order to maintain the high standard that we find at the beginning of the girl's college career, we should limit the extent of her activities and require that she not participate all through the four years of college." The questionnnaire showed that freshmen ranked highest in general health habit, and seniors lowest. Journal of a Christmas Trip to the South By Bruno Radtke GOING SOUTH This is the first of a series of articles written by Dr. Bruno Raddie, exchange professor in German, in which he relates the account and impression which he and his fellow countryman, Johann Wiedemann, exchange schule from Germany, gained in a car motor trip taken during the Christmas holiday to the South. The articles will appear consecutively in the remaining issue of the Kanran to be published this summer. by Columbus the Xth Though we had decided to stay at Joplin during the night, we arrived there, thanks to the good roads, so early, that we added another 100 miles of road to our journey and entertained it is to have to spend quite a few hours of a fine evening in a small uninteresting place. Some 23 miles beyond Joplin we entered the beautiful Gorak mountains. The rolling road climbed higher and higher. The Kansan recently published a letter from Lee S. Greene, B.M.37, A.B.30 who is exchange scholar from the University now studying at Leipzig University. Every foreigner who visits this country for the first time, more or less, according to his intelligence, curiosity, and intellect, has the role of Christopher Columbus, i.e. he has to discover this continent. Though it is not the most important or very original, it is true, nevertheless. Following the old, inborn, tentative sympathy for the South, where the gods were supposed to live (the Gothic outback about that) and because people told us that we simply had to see New Orleans we decided on a trip to the city's two visitors from Germany: expedition went not only in another direction than old Christopher, but also differed widely in means of transport; the museums were treasure paleole, "Santa Maria," substituted a less pictureque but more comfortable Ford sedan. Model 1928 Ford was the most picturesque and comfortability seem to hate each other; for you very sedim will find them combined anywhere. And we modern have to pay closer comfort or of uncomfortable romance. In the morning of Dec. 19, when all students had left K.U. to study at home and make up for what they had missed during the semester, we started on our own course. We were very good friends who wished us the best of luck, which was not quite fair, considering the fact that we had bought our textbook, books, course, this has nothing to do with my friend8. qualifications as a car driver, though he is not very fond of first and second gear; I insisted on it during the first week of class as long as you are insured properly. I shall not waste lines on a vivid description of the charms of our tour to Kansas City, most of you know it from "The Walk," almost everything about them. From K.C. we followed U.S. Highway TI (now it is time to open your highway to Kansas City) and experienced on our trip. Vast rich cornfields here cover a rather flat country with no buildings or commercial sentimental imagination; thus it was quite a shock to find Carburtz an ordinary small country place where Hannibal's or temples of Molech. Description Unnecessary It was the clearest night we had ever experienced in our lives. The inten- sionalism on the roof into snow. Amidst a profound silence we stopped and stumped out of our car to admire the brilliant sunset with stars that one could not pick out even the best-known constellations. The milky way was no longer a bright light, but a vast array of stars. There was no radiation around the stars, they all appeared as brilliant specks of light. How could I help at the sight of all this, remembering the great philosopher of my native town — two things in the universe, that aroused in me a never ending reverential ad- dress of sky above us and the moral law in us. The average European above the age of 20 is not accustomed to being advised well considering it a compliment to our youthful looks (when you have passed the early stages of adolescence, you are taken for 17 years old), and I answer most gracefully, "Lawrence." We stayed for the night at Fayetteville. When we arrived there it was too late to get a correct impression of her beauty, so we went back and went to bed early, exhausted with the excitement of the day. As I never awake by myself, (I wonder what kind of life I would live), would interrupt my precious sleep the new world record in sleeping would surely be created, my chauler roused me by announcing at the top of his head that he would be honored humor we drove to the nearest garage to have our oil changed (If you want to find out whether you have patience, I recommend getting the motor is all cold from the frost of the night. You will be surprised). The hardcore youth who served us, realizing how trying it was started a career when we were told where are you boys coming from?" "1831," I replied, blushing and hoping to have made no blunder. Most foreigners are delighted to be taken for a native, it makes them feel so comfortable to pronounce it. "I know the place," Kansas "the conversation went on." "And how do you happen to be there?" "Just my bad luck!" Say, you seem to have got a mighty fine football team on the Hill!" "What year?" he continued. Authority on Football Having attended more than three games without a very clear idea of the rules I felt quilt an expert and gave instruction on the operation (putting in all the slang I had handy) which would have astonished the members of the department of administration. "Gee," my youth said with beaming eyes, "I wonder whether there is any boy in the world who likes football better than I do." "No, there is no opportunity for i here." "Do you play yourself?" "Then, why don't you go to college?" Taking a dollar note out of his socket "See this!" Here's the reason. You're your work your way into school! "I assure admire those boys who do it instead of living on pa's pocket book an trying is easy and hard, but I guess, he will come undo until some day my smile will come" This faith, justified or not, defies all class hatred and establishes social equality among the citizens of this vast resourceful continent. The diversity of choice which might come to anybody any day How different the situation is in the old countries where there is little chance for a small group of nations with small natural resources? At last we learned from him that Fayetteville was the seat of the University of Arkansas. Thus we started in the building of an institution of which is as charming as the Hill at Lawrence. The buildings stand on beautiful kept lawns with plenty of room for gathering with the town and a slope of a wonderful hill covered with oak trees. It was easy to imagine where the most popular sites for necking parties might be. Go Through Ozarks This morning we followed state high way 16 through the Ozarks. Foreigners are very often, and rightly, advised to get into contact with the native population as much as possible, and not to get into contact with the alien. This day we had a thrilling experience of both kinds of international approach. When, on a small winding road in the town, we met an elderly man, rather forescious-looking gentleman, he did not seem to like it and amabilized every attempt by him to see us but slowing down immediately as soon as he could see that we had given it up. At last, we made a daring dash out of the town, followed by the rock, he only succeeded in shaving our fenders. We passed, leaving him in a nice cloud of dust. We met again after half an hour, we watched him with the beautiful landscape, with our a broad smile on his not too handsome face, probably assuming that we had met with mother A Pretty City Lattice roses is a pretty city scene, on the beautiful Arkansas river with a dense traffic; here somebody, obviously fond of symmetry, showed our car on the other side. On this day we saw lots of mourners and their lives, it being winter there were, of course, only a few stalks with the white finy hairs left, but it was quite a sore experience, wailing rather stupid animals. Unfortunately, there are not many fences in Arkansas and the south, and those fences would rather stupid animals. Unfortunately, there are not many fence Read the Kanson Want Ads.
