MAY 18, 1930 ANOTHER SOLUTION The campus drive should be undermined until it is a viaduct. Hails should be put up along the sides to keep the cars in and the pedestrians out. The result would be an automatic elimination of the traffic dangers to those who don't know any better than to walk. People who insist on not riding in automobiles will have to be looked after for a few years yet anyway. Side streets should be built to every classroom and elevators and little go-gears should be built in every building to every classroom for the convenience of students and teachers. The University should hire men to take the cars when the students reach the buildings. These fellows would bring the cars back to the owners after class so that they could go to the next building for their next classes. Of course there are the pedestrians who will still insist on coming to school. They will be saved from trafic dangers by walking under the vaults, and can come into the buildings through the doors of the old-fashioned staircase now being used would have to be retained. HOPES FOR THE FARM BOARD But the only trouble with this scheme is that it would take so long to convince the powers that be that such a thing is necessary. They would be skeptical so long that when they became convinced, zero-students would be demanding a landing place on top of each building, and we should have the same problem to solve all over again. A watchful providence seems to be guarding the activities of the Federal Farm Board. After the refusal of the Kansas farmers, beheaded by Governor Clyde Reed, to co-operate in cutting down wheat acreage, the forces of nature have come to the rescue of the beleaguered farm board. In several of the barney wheat counties of Kansas, farmers have been forced to abandon at least 15 per cent. of their acreage. The most hopeful estimates fix the yield at 12 bushels per acre. Now with the wheat headling up to thorns, continued rains threaten to show down the yield still shown. The present prospects may be very dishearring to the Kansas farmer; but they should give the program of Alexander Legge ample opportunity to prove itself. THE NEW DRAMA Why read the newspapers? There's nothing new under the sun. Vanity, vanity; politics, murder, love nests and wars and rumors of wars. What's been in the newspapers lately anyway? Politics . . . An engineer executive trying vainly to play the political game under the guidance of a political engineer — an alignment of nationally known personalities over the question of a judicial appointment involving the future of labor and racial problems— Breadwinnning . . . The national government solving the farm problem by taking with the right hand to give with the left, and the rest of the count- try howling. - Thousands of men collect in big cities, parading, fighting with police, learning the other side of the institution of the job. Scandal . . . A man with the title of doctor who has done so well at fleeing the public that he can carry on a powerful fight against all the intelligence of the country. — Another doctor confesses to having committed a murder two years ago, hitherto a complete mystery. Foreign happenings . . . A country a. 50 million people holding domination over 400 million, losing its hold and regulating it by turns - the West and the Eastern Europe. The new new building a civilization based on the new philosophy of living. What's in the newspapers anyway? outside the want ads and comic strip? Why, wake up, man! Things are happening! JANE ADDAMS In September, 1889, Jane Addams officially took up her residence in the 9th Hull mansion in Chicago. On May 9, 10 and 11 of this year Hall Year mansion celebrated the event. The premier of Canada was present, among others who have at various times been residents at the House. It was the beginning of her work among the poor of Chicago that marks the beginning of the modern social movement in the United States. It was the trust and affection she has given to countless European visitors that made her our leading internationalist, so that it was only fitting that an invitation should be extended to her to become president of the International Congress of Women which met at The Hague in 1915. Through the work of Jane Addams, Hull House has become a settlement symbol. Bernard Shaw says that only the poor can abolish poverty, but Miss Addams, who recognized one of modern society's greatest tragedies—class distinction—has done much to aid this cause with understanding, sympathy, and the establishment of social justice. She made of Hull House a residence wherein contacts between men and women of different classes are possible. Jane Adkins has seen nearly all the migrant races of the world pass by her doorstep, and has lived as a neighbor among them and among the poor. She has lived a life of service and given back to her country in a settlement that is symbolic of the progress of democracy. She is a woman of whom we can all speak with pride. A MEMENTO About once every decade there comes to those who still find attraction in the legitimate drama the pleasure of witnessing the return of some stage personality who has achieved true success. This time it is Maude Adams who is making her reappearance, and those who have felt the magic of her performance in the elites roles of Barrie, or in the romantic characters of Rotand, undoubtedly are anticipating a real privilege in seeing her again. The announcement that this great actress of two decades age is to re-appear in New York after a retirement of 13 years in a "modern romantic comedy—by a well-known American player" should have a powerful significance for the drama at the present time. It was during Miss Adame's career that the drama was at its height, from the theater-goer's viewpoint at least. Such names as Duse Bernhardt, and Fike were then to re-establish future generations to be retested Marlowe and Barrymore were beginning their famous careers; and Maude Adams was among the greatest of them. Her light, yet poignant, style of performance was true artistry of a most subtle type, as well as wonderfully fine entertainment. With Barymore and Marylove, she continues to represent the acme of American dramatic achievement during her time. We still have great actresses, as may be witnessed by the connotation given to such names as Jane Cowl, Lymn Fontane, Eva LaGallenne, Lenore Ulric and Florence Reed. During the interim which separates these names from those of the past, however, the drama suffered a lamentable decline from which it has not been entirely lifted by the present Little Theater impetus. Maude Adams is one of the important connecting links between the future artistry of the drama and its past greatness.
