TUESDAY, APRIL 1. 1930 APRIL FOOL'S DAY April Fool's day has passed again without anyone really getting fooled. We suggest that everyone would have been taken by surprise had the follown being done: If students all had reached their 8:30s and all other classes on time with their lessons perfectly learned, if they had listened attentively, even when the instructor deviated into personal experiences which may have sounded cute to his mother when he was a child, or heroic to a sweetheart fascinated by his charm, but which had long hot the interest of the class, also if students, thrilled by the lecture, had reminisced in their seats five minutes after the whirlble blow. Then in order to behave the responsibility, we suggest the following which should also have contributed to the general surprise: ALL IS WELL If instructors had brought their minds as well as their textbooks to class, and had some other purpose besides catching everyone on that word in the footnote. If they had to give so much time to that pet minor point; when they insisted we get a well organized outline of the whole. If they had their lecture when the whistle blew, so that students could get to that class at the other end of the campus. The power of voting is the power of the electorate to express its disapproval of the party in power. A large vote usually means that the party in power has not been satisfactory, or that one group of candidates running for office is not satisfactory. By use of the ballot the public expresses opinions on the matter. muscles. But when all is well with an organization, when those running for office are evenly balanced, when both the old and new officers have been satisfactory, then the other members of the organization do not feel any need of exercising their power of voting and often do not vote. Perhaps this explains why in the Y.M.C.A. election only 80 votes were cast. Perhaps the organization felt that all was well and that little difference be made by a change in officers. Voting is generally apathetic, unless either issues or personalities arouse sharp feeling. And no one can deny that the Y.M.C.A. is doing a fine and a constructive work on the campus. Still, elections should call out the voters. SCIENCE AND RELIGION There persists a notion in the minds of many people in this enlightened age, that man must reject either science or religion, that the two are mutually exclusive and at opposite poles. That a scientist may be deeply religious, or that a religionist may employ scientific methods seem equally inconceivable. It is unfortunate that such ideas are popularly allowed to flourish. It is an indication that we have learned nothing from the tragedy of the distorted attitudes of the Middle Ages. Who dares to predict a future based oh the logical culmination of such belief? We see about us far-seeing men who have worked out in their lives, the ultimate harmony of the physics and the spiritual world. We marvel at the individual progress they make in life as a result of their understanding of great fundamental principles of living. We realize that they are infinitely removed from the feeble attractions of the average man. It is our responsibility to diffuse through our civilization this superior insight into our world and its meaning. It is our obligation to future generations to try to grasp more fully the meaning of great natural laws—we must not pass on the myth of an inevitable conflict between the two most potent factors of our modern life. AN UNWELCOME VISITOR The days may come and the day may go, but this wind goes on for ever. For forty day and forty night it—blew. Only the latter statement is a little erroneous, for the wind usually tires out after an al day blow and quietes down for the evening. As California or Florida boosters would say, this has been an unusual winter, for there has sceered be a day when the wind was not blowing, and, of course, Kansas has never known a winter like this one before. If the wind were only human it would certainly need to be reprimanded severely. It causes far too much amusement for those habitues of the law steps who have spent the winter in hibernation and are now energying with the advent of spring. And for these modest people of the Hill who persist in wearing dresses of many tiers and ruffles it is oftentimes quite embarrassing. For many reasons, then, someone should see that this wind ceases. It has been in our midst too long, it has outstamped its welcome, and when company does not realize that it is no longer wanted it is the duty of the best or hostess to see that gentle bites are dropped. WORTH WHILE Nothing can be a success without co-operation. For that reason the organizations on the Hill are to be commanded for the spirit displayed in the K.U. Karnival. Without these organizations there could be no karnival. When 25 fraternities and sororites speed their time preparing booths and stunts for which they receive no compensation, with the exception of a few prizes, they are not only getting a lot of fun out of it, but they are keeping alive a spirit that is good for the University. PERFECTION Did you ever fail to prepare your class lesson? And when claime time comes, you cut through the entire hour of class, knowing that you wouldn't be called upon? You were nervous! Most definitely so. But was the condition constructive in any way? Did you ever get stung fright—during a speech, perhaps, a musical song or what not? You stuttered a bit, got red, folded and unfolded your arms and clasped and unclashed your flats. You became all trembley; you lost your wind—all control of your muscles? Nervousness is a cause for thought rather than worry. Nervousness is "striving after perfection", according to the belief of Dr. G. Leonard Harrington, noted psychiatrist of Kansas City. But perfection cannot be reached by an inspirational spell of nervousness. Time and energy without any inspiration is the more likely course and need. Improvement comes with, or after, persistent and thoughtful efforts. With a 33 per cent salary increase approved by the board of trustees, the members of the Northwestern University liberal arts faculty paid little head to snowdrifts as they worked. Walter Dill Scott recommended the new salary scale which was adopted Wednesday. Under the new scale, professors will receive from $7,000 to $10,000, associate professors, $5,500 to $7,000, assistant professors, $4,000 to $7,000, and instructors $2,500 to $5,500. Studies on Rats Prove Electricity More Dangerous at Low Than High Voltages Baltimore-Alternating current is more dangerous at low voltages than at high voltages and direct current is more dangerous at high than at low voltages. A series of researches reached by Prof. W. B. Koushenwon, an electrical engineer, and Prof. Orthello R. Langworthy, associate in neurology, followed extensive studies on rate in the laboratories of Johns Hopkins University here. The two scientists insist that the results of their tests on 286 rats cannot be applied directly to men or other animals. But the facts they learned (Science Services) At the Recital The faculty recital presented last night by Alie Mcleve Conger, pianist, and Prof. W. B. D. Bowning, bourbon, before the installation building, was discreetly selected to show the performance. That, it did admire, it did illicit. Mr. Downing's first group was interesting in that in it he dared to present four Schubert songs together, which, by their choice, represented the "Renaissance styles." The first three numbers, "Das G a b r," "G a n y e m" and "Meeres Stille," showed case in taking low tones and a good voice discipline, while the more sturdy effect of the group "D dem Tartaniers" climaxed the group. Miss Conger opened the program with "Theme and Variations" (Chambers, 1984). The question is that it was obviously a study in the technique of composition, she managed The first two numbers of Miss Cooper's second group were a light, delicate "Novellette" (Heutel), and a heavy, robust "Dance," which the old theme was interestingly varied. She did some of her best interpretative work of the evening in the dance class. In the program of her program, Prof. C. S. Skitton's "Shwunee Indian Hunting Dance" The beats of the tom-tom and the dance rhythm were realistically pre- For his second appearance, Mr. Downingang said "Vision Fugitive" from the movie *Pulp Fiction* followed by Miss Cooper's last group The Lust "Gomonreigen" showed technique and was well interpreted. In the film, Ms. Reuter studies, the distinct media sustains against a ripping arpeggio accompany an interesting climax for her program. It was in the grouping of three American songs towye that Mr. Downing went on a tour with the group. The group included "O Waters, O Tranquil Waters," "Song of the Warrior," and "Victory." The melody of each song was like the slow rhythmic bowing troubled water; in places it hilted of a certain exultant quality. The familiar humor of the "Tom-Cat" program, an audience the programs. A Joan fund created by a Cincinnati banker to the University of Cincinnati will provide money to the family members. He said that no professor be allowed to borrow more than twenty-per cent or salary. The gift carvers $25,000. In a recent interview at the University of Nebraska, ten fraternity men expressed their views on the team. The men generally conceded that they "dumb" and "sophisticated." They further charged that they were strikingly "expensive" and there was eviction risk. They also mentioned "perseverence." Other remarks that were made against the co-eds were that they are "wild for dates," that they might be more suited to men at the same time, and that they were only in college for a "good time." tie in well with existing knowledge of the effect of electricity on human beings. Statistics show that the annual death rate from electric shock increases by one-third of those fatal accidents occur on low voltage circuits. "On high voltage circuits the victim is often thrown away from the conductors by the severe contraction of the circuit, the micro-voltage circuit, or often impossible damage," a recent report to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers says. "No authentic record has been found, but there is on a 110v direct current circuit." "If the skin is wet, 110-volt alternating current house circuits are dangerous. The sensation produced by it is extremely painful and a current of 100 milliamps may cause death," the man said. The tests on the rats were con- firmed that 1,200, 250, and 1,000 volts with both alternating and direct current. The animals did not die of heart failure. In many cases the heart continues, to beat long after the animal ceased breathing. In an effort to find these animals, researchers have been compatible with life", autoseses were performed on all specimens. They reveal that the death of rats which lived only a few hours after shock caused by hemorrhages in the brain. Contrary to popular belief, injuries were not directly proportional to the amount of current passed through the body. "Not only is the initial volumetric discharge the duration of contact and the size of the animal also," says the report. Jayhawks Flown James F.

Much has been heard about young college presidents. An expert's findings show that 73 per cent of the presidents are between the ages of 46 and 65, and 18 per cent are beyond 65. Only three in a list of presidents are under 65. The median age is 56.8 years.
