MONDAY, MARCH 24, 1930 PERHAPS Perhaps 15,000 mid-semester exams will be written within the next few days; perhaps 15,000 beads will be serached; perhaps 15,000 quiz books will bloom with invigorating verbage; perhaps 10,000 fountain pens will be drained of ink in voluminous out-pourings; and another 10,000 pencils emerge from the mace, each appears devoid of one-half an inch of lead. There will be wryries and flurry- ings and blueries and flusterings, not to speak of filibustering, which will require added energy, perhaps to total a billion calories of actual heat —enough to burn down old Snow, rockes and all. The University's 4, 500 aspirants to knowledge will sweat, perhaps, ten bucketfuls, in apprehension. Our gull estimates have overlooked the few who will not sweat or be frustrated—but they are obsso- few! Are we concerned with all this? Not a bit—except, perhaps, to this extent—we have a couple tomorrow ourselves and will either have to spend the night in concentration, or, perhaps, flunk. CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE The Thoughtful Freshman believes the men's political campaign could be made more interesting if the defeated candidates would have to pick up the "voters" literature" which will be thrown all over the campus. What will the trek of Mahatma Gandhi mean? Will it end when British soldiers halt the marchers and blooded start an Indian rebellion? Or will the British authorities continue to ignore Gandhi and beat the advocates of civil disobedience at their own game? Or will Gandhi and his followers win? Devoid of military aggression or it pretence, the march is unique in his history. Civil obedience is contrary to the western mind. It remains to be seen what the Indian with his sa gacious reasoning will make of it. Strikes and lockouts show how fruitless it is to expect civil disobedience in America. Seldom do strike leaders advocate violence, and yet violence nearly always follows in the wake of labor disturbances. Will Gandhi be more successful with his followers than are strike leaders, or will it be the British, the upholders of the white man's burden, or Will it be his own burden? Or will it be civil disobedience to the end with the aim of Gandhi attained? --- Junking of Laws Seen as an Nsp to Enforcement—headline And the story wasn't about the recent W.S. G.A. date rule change either. LIFELESS New turf with grass well started has been placed on many of the spots where a few weeks ago there was only brown earth. This new grass has begun to grow green and luxuriant under the warm rays of the sun and with the shelp of plenty of moisture. There are, however, some spots which are still brown and bare. These are the spots where many feet go trumping every day. These are the spots over which students, and perhaps an instructor now and then, walk thoughtlessly every day. Not one of them would purposely take away life, but here they are unconsciously destroying the green life of the campus and in that way impairing its beauty for those who really appreciate it. The Thoughtful Freshman says most of the midnight oil burned these nights is gasoline. WHERE TO? What the four years of college have meant is the question uppermost in the minds of seniors. A job of some sort is the nim of everyone; and all are asking how well the sophastic we prepared a background for that job. How wide is the foundation? Will the job be bigger than the present training contemplates? Where is the line of orientation? Have all the inter-relations between the different academic courses been discovered? What is it all about? These questions and many others f. a nature are demanding an answer. But each individual must ay that for himself what the answer will be, and he will have to be asking it through the years to come. The answer must be changed many times. The real question is, how many will find a significant answer? So they are looking for two more planets now. What a mess they are going to be in if they look for and find two stars for every new one. But they can't say we didn't warn them. Campus Opinion --will have half a chance to make a grade, or that is the way one ability is gagged in an educational institution. Why the 6:30 Hour Eliot Daily Kansan Editor, Danny Kashan: I desire to explain to R. V. the reason for the Why Club's 6:30 meeting The club meets at 6:30 for two reasons. Men who have attended it from all groups on the campus have felt that it was the best bour for them and for others to attend other meetings on he fill later in the evening. Also by using the 6:30 instead of an 8:15 or later hour we are able to secure speakers from Kansas City and Topena more readily, men who desire to return home that evening will be given a different wreath as soon late an hour. The club meets but twice a month, which is not an excessive number of times for members to eat away from the club. The club meets at the Union building at 6 o'clock and go to the cafeteria for supper before going upstairs at 6:30 for the meeting. Others of the members eat at home but leave in time for the meeting. We would appreciate any suggestions which R. V. might make towards us, as we have many attend the meeting and also let us get speakers readily from them. —Owen Paul President Why Club So this is systematized, formal education! A student goes to class under one professor and listens to a lecture. The next day he goes to a laboratory of the same course and hears the opinion of another instruction. One day of the week is for a class; this is given under another professor. Let Everyone Hear tor. Daily Kansan; After this is continued and mid-semesters arrive, the student has to keep the opinion of three professors as often as possible, even if they don't count for much. But then the student is always urged to think for himself and put in his work. The student strolls into class one day and finds a mid-semester exam all set for him, all unannounced to him. The teacher gotten to tell that certain section. A few in the class knew it because their lab. instructor knew that the lecture professor had forgotten to take the mid-semester examination is then taken. Immediately some student saves the situation by suggesting that the lab instructor go in the next lecture and trust to hack them. The students are in that certain lecture. A member to announce his own quiz is doofish if he will remember it. The next day the lab. instructor suddenly realizes that when he told them to look for the professor of the day before, he has forgotten to tell one of his own suggestions that he will give a quiz the next laboratory period that they Why not have a little system an one or two professors stay in schools? They can change in professors, give a variety of training to students, set 'sit in' this case is not needed. Little Falls, N. J., March 24—(UP)—Fifteen years of deliving into the ton and a careful study of the unpublished diaries and correspondence of history of aviation, including prolonged visits to the Wright house in Dayton, Ohio, and a visit to the U.S. Air Force public, has convinced John R. McMahon, scientific writer, that the inventors of the flying machine were not only力难 wronged by the Smithsonian Institution, but were looked upon as a couple of crunch by the United States Biography of Wright Brothers Lists Rebuffs of Inventors by Government Stability and co-operation needed and then perhaps the student As long as writers refrain from personalities and let us know who they are, we won't ever get opinions. But when the writers are ashamed to let us know who they are, they can't work worth printing. Saturday a humorous contribution was mailed to us. We are sorry it didn't hit the writer's feelings. There are no things. If the writer, or writers, will identify themselves we will be more careful to publish their stuff, eight on nine. McMahon, author of the first biography ever written on the Wright brothers, excluding juvenile banks, has had access to letters exchanged by them. The book also includes accounts of his life.

Read the Kansan Want Ads **16** The persistent story that the inventors were lacking in patriotism. The fact that the Wrights took their ideas seriously and demonstrated it before kings and emperors in Europe, has long been one of the chief points of criticism directed against them, McMahon took United Press at his home here today. This correspondence, which Orville Wheeler issued to examiners, presents the two taxpayers actually "pestered" the United States government with offers of work or employment that they did not perform in that instance they met with the polite rebuffs at the hands of the tax authorities. About a year after their history-making flight at Kitty Hawk, N. C. McMahon reveals, while English and French agents were already snapping around the plane home at Dayton, inventors offered their machine to the government. "They were rebaffed with a short answer," McMahon said. "But again, in spite of this rebellion the naturnal government has gone to chute to Uncle Sam, exclusively. The United States, at that moment, had a chance to obtain a monopoly of the "But the war department, in its reply to the Wrights, treated the inventors as indigent cranks seeking a handout from the government. wmrur and Orville protested that they were not concerned about the money end of their job. They asked that the machine, according to certain specifications, at their own cost. They would guarantee, they told the government, that the plane would fly 100 miles and carry one or more passengers. "To this the war department replied on October 27, 1905, that it did not care to supply specifications or take further action until it was shown Fraaternity Jewelery F. H. Roberts Jeweler 833 Mass.
