FRIDAY, MARCH 21, 1930 DRIVE ON We started a traffic editorial campaign directed at speeding on the Campus. The result apparently has been that more people are driving and really try to get the pedestrians. If such has been the results of the campaign it seems logical that these moronic imbeciles who step on the gas will slow down if advised to go fast . . O, ye who pilot horses carriegns nerves the fair vales of the Kaw and nerves the wind-sweep drive of Mount Oread, step on the gas; hit every obstacle that gets in the way; chalk on the dashboard a mark for every person who escapes; mark him as lucky, and regret your inability to do everything thoroughly. Your record should approach 100 per cent. Hit every person foolish enough to walk. Let none escape. It is none of your worry if under takers are overworked. Let them hire additional help. In this way the unemployment problem of the Campus may be solved. And your contribution to the solution will be a great deed. Step on the gas. Let's motto be HER HERITAGE All of us are familiar with Dwora's illiterate "Humeroque," and many of us know the New World Symphony, at least the Large movement. But few of us know that the grandson of famous Bohemian composer is struggling in a coal mine in Ohio, to keep the family genius alive. Antonin Devorak was a poor farmer boy in Bohemian, but he came to America, the fabled land of easy riches, because he had the desire for a musical career. He did not find riches. Instead he is a common coal miner, whose hopes and dreams rest in the talent shown by his daughter Olga. Hers is the privilege of carrying on the heritage of genius. We wish her luck. But her father's unselfless sacrifice gave us his genius. We take off our hats to him. COMMON SENSE what hour does it come? Ten- thirty. And I've already got three two-hour classes then that I have to have!" Scene: the gym. Time: enrollment. Dramatics persona; student, very anxious, and adviser, very weary. The student speaks: Solution: There is none; there is only an end to argument, and it is sure to be more or less unsatisfactory. And then the faculty appointed a committee to see what might be done about the lack of class room during the morning hour! The committee reported this week, recommending greater use of the afternoon hours. Which may have been dodging the issue, but is certainly the logical attitude, considering the impossibility of crowding fifteen hours of credit into two hours a day. Both students and instructors like these hours. We suspect that the instructor likes them even more than the student—he can stay at home and grade papers or play golf in the afternoons. The aged truth concerning the eat ing of cake is applicable. Most students, we believe, would rather eat their cakes; they would like to get the classes they want, even if it involves a little scattering of recitations through the day. The faculty and the laxier type of student is inclined to favor cake on the hoof, so to speak But time, though it flow like water, just as incompressible. MAKE THE END EASIER Mid-semester exams are now going on. Everyone is busily getting caught up with and "crammed" full of the work assigned so far this semester. And judging from comments heard against, there has been plenty to be signed. As soon as mid-semesters are over, will there be that seasonal slump during which time the instructors let up on the students, so to speak. And will it in turn be followed by the nerve-racking last minute rush when everything which should have been done before must be done? Let us hone not! No doubt the students will he will be to take a rest, but when it comes time for finals they will sincerely thank the instructors who were foresighted enough to distribute the work evenly over the whole semester. The instructor too, will he save many long weary hours of trying to grade last minute reports along with finals. It might be possible that the instructor's grades will be more nearly accurate if he does not have to rush. Work which is not on paper will be suited that which is, and the sooner the entire campus realizes this the better will in work do done. A NEW SYSTEM A big undertaking was started on the University campus this morning. A round of 76 debates was begun. It is the first time that the high school debating leagues have finished the season in this manner, and is a system worthy of note. This method provides for the participation of more than 100 debaters. Each of the twelve districts of the state is represented by two teams who will be responsible for the rating of their respective districts so far as debate is concerned. Without doubt they will meet this test to the very best of their ability and bring forth arguments representative of personal achievement as well as progress of the schools from which they come. The work of the coaches should receive our recognition. Only through steady effort and real guidance are debate teams shaped into working order. With good debaters alone, or with good coaches alone, no team would be of any great value. It is through co-operation that they are made possible. This co-operative spirit of students, coaches and state in sponsoring the contest is commended. Lnst April Robert Blake wrote "Let the Law Take its Course", while he sat in a cell in death row of the Texas penitentiary. This play he left as a legacy to his mother in Amarillo, Texas. JUSTICE "To make sure the play makes the plea for the abolition of capital punishment which I feel in my heart," Mrs. Klake says she will go to the theater. She will endure the harrowing experiences of viewing scenes which will vividly recall her son's leath. The other day his mother signed an agreement to take 20 per cent of the proceeds of the New York play, "The Last Mile". The entire first act is the dialogue young Blake wrote. She will also receive royalties from radio, movie, and television presentation of the play. Forty states of our 48 provide for capital punishment. Penal codes are the cultural lags of our time, and Mrs. Blake may realize she is a woman with a service to give her country, but she is paying a terrible price. The Thoughtful Freshman says it isn't necessary that boys smoke any more since so many girls are doing it. Visitors Allowed to See Priceless Art in George W. Vanderbilt Mansion **Library Service** Avelline, N. C., Visitors who are being admitted to Biltmore House the mansion built 35 years ago here by George W. Vanderbilt and stocked with priceless treasures. It was opened to the public this week and a nominal fee to meet its expense as a museum is being charged.

The banquet hall is a copy of an old Mormon hall, 66 feet long and 75 feet high, with triple fire places, and a huge hole in the center, where the monarch would history of Vulcan, made for Francis I and woven on cloth of gold, adorn the walls.

From the windows of the print room a visitor may see the French Broad river lose itself in the nearby mountains. On the walls of the room hung scores of prints, and an enclosed gallery depicts Maxillian the Great by Max Durer. The main dining hall, off the banqueting hall, is furnished in Spanish leather above marble panels. Gold and velvet chairs are matched by a table of similar design. A Wedge place adds its touch of warmth. The "Tapestry Gallery," 100 feet long, is lined with Flemish tapestries and also contains paintings, in gold. The gallery is built by Burke, uncle of Mrs. Cecil's husband. There is a boldin of Mr. Peter G. Gerry, of Washington, who was formerly Mrs. Vanderbilt; and Sargents of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt.

Gustafson The College Jeweller Vanderhill selected Asheville for the site of his millionaire's playhouse, and brought international recognition to the property. The Blitmore House for years has been the object of venious tourists' eyes, which and today were confined to At The Concert --on U.S.40,4 miles northeast at Mud Creek Bridge By Lela May Ensign A varied program nicely played but lacking in artistry was the impression left by the short joint senior recital last night of two pianists, Linda C. Taylor and Helen Cleveland, student of Prof. Carl A. Preyer. Extreme contrast to the two women furnished him with music. Cleveland played with care and precision and with good fortification and studied effects, while Miss McMorrow perused with delight and happy grace but with less power. A number by Miss Cleveland that particularly appealed to the audience was her warmth. Roger Clerius. The effects were spontaneous and from the pianist's perspective were both warmth of feeling throughout her audience that attained in some of her songs. Her final selection was perhaps the most difficult of her groups. It was n a concert paraphrase, "Man wrote for Strasan, arranged by Tausig." Miss McMorran's most outstanding number was her Chipin "Sherzoe." Her temperament and the interpersonal interpretation delighted the audience throughout several passages. The finale of the evening, played by Miss McMorran, was "First Concerto," Mana-Zuca, with the orchestral parts played by Professor Tayyad Al-Malek, with the most difficult numbers of the evening.

Campus Opinion AND WHY AGAIN ADELA HALE, President Editor, Daily Kansan: Now that a Why club has been established, why not let the women have a liberal club too, or allow women in the Why club? Aren't women supposed to think? Really, you know, a few of them do, and they ask you. Didn’t they find out that the women have some worthy ideas at times. If you don't think that women think, then take women into the clubs and teach them to do so. If such a club is proving beneficial to men, surely it will prove equally so for women doing element. What do they say? — M.
