MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1931 "IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE . . The fact that an unidentified donor is to leave an exceedingly large amount of money to the University Endowment association in his will, is cheering news for all of those interested in the work of the Endowment organization. It sets a precedent which it is to be hoped, other equally philanthropically-minded will follow people. The request will be especially helpful because it does not specify the purpose for which the money is to be used, other than that it is not to be used for objects for which the state should provide. That the donor is well-acquainted with the needs of the University is evident from the possible uses of the gift which he mentions—improvement in teachers' salaries, annuities for aged faculty members, and for deserving students, research equipment, additions to the library and museums. Many, many thanks to the thoughtful giver. He may be sure that the Enowment association will make the best use of the money and that K. U. students and faculty will appreciate to the full the aid which it gives them. The success of the Kansas debaters in attacking the Hoover administration during their recent trip through Missouri might be attributed to the natural political leanings of Missourians. We prefer, however, to attribute their success to the consistent quality of Kansas debate teams under the tutelage of E. C. Buckler. RUSSIA LEADS THE WAY With physical proportions dwiring America and with a range of climate and diversity of resources as great as America, Soviet Russia has proved itself, in the past few years, worthy of serious consideration. Her ponderous population is still several decades behind the training that Americans now possess, but Russians have the compensating virtue of an enthusiasm for their work that approaches religious fanaticism and they may prove the determinant of industrial success. The Soviet government has not been recognized by Washington, but the crowning men in charge of that government have never ceased their buying of American brains and goods, knowing full well that economic ties are stronger than political. They have been cogni-secured trained men to help them put their five-year plan to work. The idea of the Soviet government in harmonizing the factors of production is the expression of what industrialists and politicians have been attempting in every country in the Western World. Russia has seen that successful co-ordination of productive agencies and economic supremacy is only possible through a centralized control. In her case successful government regulation is really a step toward government ownership. By the co-ordination of land, labor, capital, and management, she may possibly reduce costs and threaten American economic leadership. In 10 years a sporadic outpouring of grain and produce to raise money might conceivably become continuous, and seriously impair American trade. As a great people with a motivating enthusiasm, Russia is a potential economic power which warrants our close scrutiny if not our respect. The fact that the enrollment at the University has increased during this period of depression may indicate that people out jobs can live just about as closely at school as they can anywhere else. "AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS WORTH A POUND OF CURE" The recent ruling of the state fire marshal that all Lawrence rooming houses students on the third floor, must have fire escapes for their rooms, should meet with the commendation of all students on the Hill. The order will no doubt work hardship on some rooming house proprietors who will have to provide expensive fire escapes or cause renting rooms on the third floor, but they must realize that the lives of their guests come first. While we know of no fatality that has resulted from rooming house fires in Lawrence, such an occurrence would not be out of the range of possibility under present conditions. Third floor rooms in wooden houses might easily prove fire traps if the one stairway leading to them were blocked. The fire department in protecting University students from fire hazards is merely continuing the program it is carrying out all over the state—one that has proved necessary if horrible disasters are to be avoided. Just why fraternity and security houses should be exempt from the ruling is not quite clear, as most of them house much larger numbers of students than any of the rooming houses. It seems almost incredible of belief that organizations have built homes without proper fire equipment. If they have, they should be compelled to remedy the situation just as the other houses. We suggest that houses not yet equipped provide firemen's poles or the spiral tube escapes. The entertainment furnished by shooting down these exhilarating contravances would more than make up for the expense involved installation. With these sheet-the-shots, fire drills would not be necessary, as most of the members would be practicing coming-down regularly. If the outside types of fire escapes are to be used at night, as we have heard hinted, drill on descending these would not have to be wild, either. A RAY OF HOPE In the days of the Roman Republic nothing was done for the plebeian element in the city-state until the plebebans, realizing where their greatest value to the state lay, obstructed the leg of the soldiers and refused to serve in the legions until their wrongs were redressed. Perhaps in a similar manner, when men who are vitally essential to the effective prosecution of any war refuse further to lend their talents toward the development of machines of war, this world will enter on a new era of peace and goodwill. The following editorial taken from the Kansas Engineer shows that engineering students realize the potentialities for lasting good or irreparable evil which they wield and are awake to their responsibilities. War may now be classed as a science, the science of annihilating the human race and civilization, the science of creating inflictual mankind that will wipe out a whole city within five years. The joint in military advancement is to produce war machines that will take thousands of human lives at one swastika. We are not content to face the next attack at a time, for that is too slow. THE ENGINEERS AT WAR The military engineer is entirely essential in modern warfare. He has made a great birth for himself in the field of engineering and hundreds of engineers are devoting their lives to the invention and development of new life and end life. Little money is spared in the building of new death-dealing methods. Many great engineering projects were worked on when they could be working on some constructive project—something for the advancement of civilization. It is hard to believe on earth or on earth more of a pleasure. At the bottom of it all we, like our friend citizens of other countries, continue to pay out our good money so that more infernal machines can be created. We can sustain human life, for a reason that none of us can understand—R.F.B. At no time is 'the divergence of method followed by individuals so apparent as in the week preceding final examinations. HOW THEY STUDY As a matter of course, most students inaugure the time-honored process of cramming, with religious vows to memorize the whole book. But aside from this common ambition, there is almost no similarity in the methods and devices used by students to bring their dreams to realization. One will start underlining the significant passages in the book. Another sets out to underline each chapter comprehensively and with a great eye for detail. Others thumb through the index and chase down the words which have left an elusive memory in their minds. Then there are always those gregarious persons who want to go into a huddle and learn the book co-operatively. As a rule, a wet blanket is spread over this tremendous activity by the Phi Beta Kappa who reminds her unfortunate concludes that all this excessive hive could have been averted by consistent applications to one's lessons throughout the semester. Such observations and other interruptions usually interfere with one's large ambitions, so that the day for final arrives with most students having only skimmed hastily over their class notes. Of course, a few will have reviewed just the right things needed to "hit the exams." Others will have reviewed just the wrong things (if we can believe their claims to having reviewed at all), while the majority will have learned a little something about everything, and will be able to slip by no matter what be instructors ask. COLLEGE CLOTHES "What College Men are Wearing," blares a headline from a popular magazine. It should be, "What a Few of the College Men Are Wearing," because the pictures shown are of men dressed in the height of fashion. Suppose the author should take a walk down the campus of any large university when classes are out. He might write something like this: "The newest wearing apparel seen this winter is the overcoat, which made its appearance with the cooler weather. It is being worn by a few of the colder-blooded men. Any color is in season, ranging from light gray, through the browns to black. The cut of the coat may he anything from five years back, to the latest shirt from the tailors. "Hats are sometimes seen, especially in storm weather, because it is easier to wear a hat than to dry the head, very low of the men carrying towels for that purpose. The hat, to be correct, should have as many dents and creases in it as is possible to put in, and still stay on the head. It should be worn at an angle, never straight. The most proxic method of putting a new hat in condition to be worn, is to place it on the ground and jump on it with both feet several times. If this does not suffice, repeat the process. "It is not necessary that the coat or trousers match the vest.

Corduroy is the favorite material for trousers. "She may be of any time, but brown and black are the usual colors. It is not necessary that they have a sparkle from a recent polishing; in fact, that is almost bad taste. The heels should be of solid leather, with heel plates, and the wearer when walking should equate the sound of a pile driver at work, this being a hang-over custom from high school days. Overhouses, or umbrellas are not much in evolution." Out side of these few critical points, the author of the magazine article was probable correct. "All I'm getting this year is a degree, tid a senior. Beg Pardon Oh is that all?" was the inquiry. "Yes, I'd rather have an education but the University requires a degree first." $7.50 Shoes $4.85 The review of the K.

Every line of its architecture shows the hand of a master. It is built of splendid, lasting materials. From cellar to attic it is perfect. It is completely equipped with modern labor and time saving devices—oil burner, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, electric irons, electric fans, etc. Everything needed to make living a pleasure is there. It's the house that advertising makes possible. Everything in it from the asbestos shingles on the roof to the concrete foundation blocks is advertised—even the plan itself, made by a famous architect, can be bought for a nominal sum. And because so many people read the advertisements for the different things going into this house—because so many buy them—the price of this house is well within reach. The advertisements make it possible for you to live better ---
