TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1930 UNIVERSITY PRESTIGE Prestige—we hear a bit of it nowadays. There are numerous ways of obtaining it. Some bay planes to place in their living rooms. Others bay a high-powered car or one with a fifty dollar horn or a sport model in gray color. Those who manifest intellectual zeal and win disciples are another type. Still another sort associate with prominent persons and back in whatever glory they can abel. Those who travel and so acquaint an erudition beyond that of their companions on the campus are exalted. Affiliation with clubs and groups which maintain degrees of exclusiveness help in gaining status. Affectation of voice, affection of carriage and posture, managers, affected graces of social behaviour are noticed by the observant student. Outward conformity to accepted convention of social circles, the "respectable" sort, is lauded. These of the Atlantic Monthly level who read the new literature and engage in high brow topics of conversation exclusively, enjoy a certain high estate. The injunction, "To yourself," has lost court proceedings. Those who are some person they admire are all too numerous. The natural unaffected product of civilization is in danger of losing out. North Carolina must have a lot of loose bricks if a man can collect 20 a day. But then, maybe they are more generous there than in Kansas, or maybe more buildings are tumbling down. However, the thought of free gilding as a sport and a thrill should not be confused with tow gilding, which is similar in work and worry, according to Hawks. SUCCESSFUL GLIDER FLIGHT In making the first continental glider flight Capt. Frank M. Hawks has effectively turned the attention of both the flying and the non-flying toward a new thing, the crossing of this continent in a glider. Thousands saw him in flight amunds of thoulsds followed his progress through the newspapers. He has popularized the glider and thus contributed something substantial to the cause of aviation. Beyond a doubt, a great many more persons are alive to the possibilities of the glider since the continental flight began. George Eastman is to give away a camera to every child having his twelfth birthday in 1930. Women are wondering why he didn't choose the sixteenth birthday. THE A.A.U.W. A great many of the senior and graduate women of the University have received letters in regard to the American Association of University Women during the past week. This organization is one of great value to graduates of universities and colleges after they leave school. It offers opportunities for them to keep in contact with other university women. It has 407 branches, including eight in foreign countries. As the circular says, "It is rather like an inter-alumnae association for the 260 colleges on the approved list." It is easy to see of what advantage this group could be to a graduate. It offers her a chance to keep in touch with what women are doing in the world and helps her to retain her college friendships on a closer basis after her graduation than might otherwise be possible. In June a large number of women will be graduated from our University. How many of them will affiliate with this association? It is hoped that they will all do so in some way or other. Such a group as this can do much towards the improvement of conditions for women in the teaching and professional world. Congressman Dyer deserves a medal. When he found that his federal act in regard to transportation of stolen automobiles wasn't doing what it was intended to do he introduced a new bill to kill the original: MEAT! Two sure-fire ways to become famous at K. U. have been developed of recent years; turning down Phi Betu Kappa and being officially ducked in Potter lake. Both were first tried by members of the Dove staff. The Kansan gave both innovators their start in public living, and takes a fatherly interest in the return of the ducked one tomorrow for a few days' visit with his alma mater. Pulter Porter, A.R.28, since his enthusiastic defense of non-conformist freshman that brought down the wrath of the Sachem on his head, has been out in the swim, it might be said. As an active member of the League for Industrial Democracy he was arrested last fall. We search the Kansas files in vain for Mr. Porter's retraction on the freshman cap question, and we rather suspect he is still in the League. We looked at Potter lake last night, though, and it was black and the wind was in the north. . . Sasafras tea is now the order of the day. Wonder when polite society on the Hill will adopt sorghum and sulphur, and spring confections of other days for refreshment. NATURE AND MARY SUDIK Man again conquered Nature yesterday after an eleven day struggle at Oklahoma City when he succeeded in capping the large oil well, Mary Sundik. But nature is stubborn. She won't be beaten. Now she has started in snow with another well close by. Nature is a queer person. She is always putting man to test and for some unknown reason he always succeeds, if he is strong minded and doesn't let the little things interfere. Such things as blistered and raw feet did not stop those workers in Oklahoma. When a fire started, they did not stand by and look on. They were on the alert every moment to fight anything which came up. They were rewarded with success. Then, too, it seems as if as soon as one finishes one hard task another always pops up just as that second well known thing happens in life. Persistence always things in life. Strains of some fortnight song carry some of us far into the days of yesterday. A vista that reminds us of some long travelled lane brings back faces we have loved and lost. But the scent of wild plum blossoms as we drive through a winding country road in spring holds the most poignant of memories. WILD PLUM BLOSSOMS d morning hymns for us. It was lilac time and plum blossom time on the old farm many years ago when we were happiest. For in the old home town we used to gather plum blossoms which filled the house with perfume. A vase of them used to sit on the organ in the front room where mother played Sun- There was the family stroll to look over the farm. We stopped to watch the lams frolic, we witnessed the fights of the young litter of Hampshires, we passed to the brooders of lively chicks. The pen of young Hereford cavens held us for a time while we selected our favorite from among them. There was the newest colt to find down in the pasture. To gaze at his markings and his wabbily leaks took time. Ever as we walked we chatted of the things which interested us in common. Spring and the scent of wild plum blossoms fill us with longing for the old home. They bring recollections of drives down naked behind speaking good trotters, of vides on moonlight nights on saddlers that do not find their way into riding clubs these days. Reveries are pleasant always when started by the all pervasive odor of the plum. --- At The Concert --- Bv Lela May Ensign The recital last night by Walden Marteh Gelch, professor of violin, was so enthusiastically received throughout that it was impossible to judge the talent of the youngest best. Characteristic of all of Professor Gelch's recitals, were his selections last night, all of them beautiful and melodious as well as technically difficult, making the concert all in keeping with the most delirious of the year. At the close of this group, applause was being given most generously, because we had picked plants, much to the surprise and mirth of the audience, and of the artist, too. Finally, after many hours of laughter, the much-loved Professor completed his task of placing the plants on top of the piano respectively on top of the piano. The "Cloacine" of Vitali, with which he opened the program, at once drew his audience to him. The number with subtle effects and happy marring. The second number, "Concerto in A Minor," by Glazomoff, was a disastrous work, and it is fitting that a concerto of such technical difficulty could be so consistently beautiful. Professor Geltch played it with rare technical grace and clear articulation. The last group was composed of five lighter numbers including the popular Spalbing arrangement of the famous "Penguin," and Kreisler's "Geyp Caprice." The other three selections of this group were no less beautiful. Godovski's "Alt Weiß" as arranged by Press and Kreisler, and melodious number of the evening. Dean Donald M. Swarthout accompanied Professor Glechik, Last night, the students and guests added onto worth and enjoyment to the concert. And at the close of the program when Professor Glechik left out for his assistance, the milieu showed its appreciation of the accomplishments with generous applause.
