A THING OF IMPORTANCE
Important as the London conference is with regard to armament, there is perhaps a still greater question to be considered, and that is maintaining the confidence of the people in their respective governments.
Senator Borah says, "Current literature is crowded with discussions touching the lack of respect for autonomy and the government on the part of the people."
The cause of this lack of respect comes in part from the various government's seeming indifference to the common cures and burdens of the people, and their continued allegiance to war and its accompanying armament. The people want peace, but the governments, embarrassed by ancient fears, haunted by obsolete traditions, harassed by old practices, do nothing."
The world powers have pledged themselves not to wage aggressive warfare and at the same time they maintain armies and navies which are greater than ever before. Not until something really significant is done about armament will governments regain the full confidence of their people. The London conference is the proper place to take the initial step.
Wouldn't it be a spectacular finish to a Big Six basketball season, if Kansas and Missouri should decide the championship in an extra five minutes Wednesday night? Provided, of course, that Kansas won.
EMBRYO POLITICIANS
Last week a number of full-grown men, apparently University students, were suddenly surprised at the infant amusement of breaking the glass globes on the old street lights south of Bihlake Hall. Suddenly becoming overwhelmed by much of some one they fled into the darkness without being identified.
One's first reaction is that such an act of vandalism is characteristic of a certain class' who never evolve from adolescence, and who should be sent to bed supperess. But there is more than that in it.
The unwarranted breaking of the glass globes on the street lights is a sign of the general disregard for property belonging to the "government". The offenders would probably never dream of committing such an outrage against private property. Incidentally, it is interesting to note that although practically all the chairs in University class rooms are covered with Greek letters, probably none of the furniture in student rooms is similarly adorned.

TELEPHONE TALKS
At no hour of the day or night are we free from the demands the telephone holds on us. A central calls we by mistake. To put some incomprehence we answer an insistent ring—only to hear a gruff voice exclaim aggrievedly, "Wrong number," I wanted Miss So-and-More." We infer we are in
some inexplicable way to blame, since no apology is forthcoming.
We may be playing a hand at bridge, entertaining at the piano, dining—the interruption is imperative, lasting five, ten, or even twenty minutes per communication. Too much time is wasted by inexperienced persons. Too little consideration is shown when we call our friends, due to our inability to sense the social situation. Anyway the fates are not favorable to accomplishment on days when the telephones are busy.
Having thus disposed of the worst annoyances of the telephone, we readily admit it is more of a pleasure than an irritant. Pleasant surprises do come over it. By its use we are able to keep in close touch with our friends. We speed up service, whether it be grocery, dry goods, drugs or ice cream we desire. Yet most of us readily admit our telephone manners on the whole are lacking in charm, grace and kindly insight. We could make of the use of the telephone a blessing art.

IN PROTEST
We read in our English Literature course an essay by Charles Lamb, entitled "On Hissing at the Theater." This was not written recently, but how well it might have been applied to theater audiences in Lawrence!
In the days when that was written, the actor could at least停 and wait until the noise had subsided before he continued. Then came the silent drama and the people really wanted to see the picture could follow it right along to the end, whether they were surrounded by ruffles or not. But now that we have the talks that is not the case.
Nowadays, when we go to the show,
if we find ourselves in the midst of noise-makers we might just as well get up and go out, because these hoo-haw will hiss and boo, and stamp their feet until we are unable to hear a word of the dialogue. The show certainly cannot stop until the noise dies down.
But if Charles Lamb's dissertation has bad no effect in these many years, we don't suppose this protect will do much good, either.
FINE ARTS RECITALS
Each Thursday afternoon the School of Fine Arts conducts a student recital either in the University Auditorium or in the auditorium in central Administration building. These recitals offer excellent opportunities to the students for musical, programs, yet very few attend them. They are put on by the students in that school and are very insuring.
The personal leadership of professor Skilton in presenting these programs adds much to the entertainment. He has tried to make them educational as well as inspirational by relating something about the history of the pieces, and quite often, he is able to teach them how they were created with many of the composers. When such programs are presented the program, because of his personal why are they not attended? Only a very small number of persons are present and the majority of them are students of the School of Fine Arts. Are the students uninterested in this part of the cultural side of life or are they just too busy? Why not show the School of Fine Arts that we are interested in what they are doing rather than forget them?

SPRING IS COMING
In the store windows there are new spring clothes, tennis rackets and balls, baseballs and bats, fishing tackle and all the things which are in demand in the springtime. Inside the stores, kites and marbles are on display. It will not be long until the boys are using the vacant lots after school for baseball, marbles or hopscotch.
The grass is getting green in every place where it can be reached by the sun's warm rays, and hedges are green. There are flowers ready to bloom when the next really warm day comes; the spruce will soon be beautiful.
The basketball season is about to close, the baseball team has begun practice, and the big league teams are beginning their exodus to the southern states in preparation for the coming season.

Should beer be sold within the university grounds? The students at university grounds are an opportunity of voting on the question. The Varsity, newspaper campus reporter, carries the question, "Are you in favor of beer being sold within the university grounds?" on a coupon. You can place an X in front of either "yes" or "no," tear it out of the paper, slip it into a designated bullet box.

Destruction of the popular conceptual model of the brain is Krameroff's assertion that in all possibilities the infinitude and theoretical possibility which would not fill a space the size of an ordinary pin head, is still far smaller.
"We have been necromuted to call the electron the smallest particle of all matter and to say it was individual. We had been told that the atom until that was divided into electrons. Yet we endow the electron with physical properties . . . such as mass, charge, spin, and motion in magnetic fields, accompanying waves, etc.; and as soon as we do this, allowing it some structure must be divisible, and those parts must have their own spin.
"So the explanation of the electron shifts the difficulty one step further along an infinite ladder, and seems to work for a far more inconvenient mode of expression." This future language, it was pointed out, must transcend present mathematics, speech or pictures—by means of which scientists are attempting in vain to present a concept of force mechanically or by analogy.
"Electricity is analogous to nothing else in the world that we know anything about," he went on. "According to our present idea, it is really comprised of three apparent independent particles, or electrons; positively charged particles such as alpha rays, protons, clatter, etc.; and various types of
"Only some super-human being could speak this unknown language to me," he told of itself; "and were be able to attempt an explanation of electricity we could not understand."

"Meinholtz, the Times Wants You---"
FRED E. MEINHOLTZ of the New York Times sat in his home on Long Island, listening-in on a radio press dispatch from the Byrd expedition. Someone on the Times staff wanted to reach Meinholtz on his home phone. And quickly! But the receiver there happened to be off the hook.
Radio science was equal to the occasion. The Times radio operator sent a request to the fur-clad operator at the other end of the world. And Meinholtz was quickly made aware of the situation by a radio message from Antarctica saying: "Meinholtz, the Times wants you to hang up your receiver so that they can call you on the telephone."
Radio and research are among the many lines of work in which college-trained men are engaged at General Electric, where they also receive further technical and business training.
