CONCERNING SOAP
There's money to be made in soap for somebody. Why doesn't some student entrepreneur set his goal now and begin by opening up a soap-stand in the gymnasium?
Consider the intra-mural athletes, the gym students, the handball players, all descending dripping and weary from their workouts; or the swimmers emerging from the pool with sticky, matted hair; what would they not give for a little soap, any soap, to them freshen up to meet the world?
In a habyen day—long, long ago—the department of physical education filled up the soap-tank every once in a while. But also, soap springs not eternal; and with mittens as they are, there may grow up a generation in K. U. to whom soap is only a shaving cream or an unpleasant mess that eats paint off the fenders.
Please, somebody, give us, or sell us, or show us where we can lay our hands on just a little soap at the right moment!
"Give us soap!" as a campaign shipper has done about as much good as that older child. "Give us bread!" The department made one abortive attempt last semester to provide soap. Since then showers have been "dry", except for those few students who remember to bring soap with them. Try to take a soapless shower, as nine-tenths of the gym users do now, and soap takes on a new significance.
THE SIZE OF THE POND
The size of the Robinson gymnasium pool under-rates the possibilities of the University swimming facilities.
Would the psychologist tell us what kind of complex it is that makes an instructor think his class is the only one in which the student is correlated?
The six Kansas entrants scored more points in the recent tri-angular meet than the ten Aggie entrants. With this quality of material at the University, the future of swimming has great possibilities.
The special school this week will give first-aid and life-saving in situation to those showing interest in swimming. Students should take advantage of an opportunity to learn life-saving tactics. Who can tell when life-saving methods will be of value?
Sunday a plane flew a mile backward, headed into a 40-mile gate. Which suggests another way to get on the Hill in the face of the south breeze of the last day or two—walk around.
CONFERENCE CONFIDENCE
The only security for the world today lies not in naval force, but in development of confidence between nations. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce for the United States government, pointed out to the peace delegates that the American business man already has trust in the foreigner. He loses less on international credits than on domestic credits; the loss on the former being less than a half of one per cent.
It is necessary that we develop between governments the same feeling of confidence that business men of
different countries have for each other, if we are to have a lasting peace. If this confidence had been established earlier, it might in a large measure have eliminated this item in President Hoover's message to Congress: "Nearly three-fourths of our budget of $4,000,000,000 for the year 1930-31 will go to pay for past wars and wars that may occur in the future."
"The United States as an uplifier, uplifts by the neck. If anyone would try the same thing on us, we would go into one convolution after another," said Bishop McConnell in speaking of Haiti.
GOOD FELLOWSHIP
There is a spirit of good fellowship in the department of dramatic art which is noteworthy. The class periods are always interesting, and students are willing to put in extra time. They enjoy the work.
In the first place, dramatic are teachers do not hold themselves aboof and above their students. They are always ready to enter into the spirit of the activities. They are interested in their students.
In the second place, the type of work done in the department is in large measure responsible for this spirit. The students work together rather than individually. The attainments of one reflection on all.
Two million second hand cars now on the discard pile. Too bad there aren't enough undergraduates to wear them out.
BYRD RETURNS TO AMERICA
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd has started his voyage home after spending a week in the region of the South Pole.
Byrds expedition has been one of outstanding importance. He and his men have braved many hardships to explore the Antarctic regions wherein they found valuable geological formations.
It is men such as those who put the United States into the national spotlight. For over ten days Byrd and his crew were lost among the mammoth ice formations in the Abitarctic sea. At times the sea entirely covered the vessel with its huge waves. The entire ship was covered with ice. For a time it looked as if the men would have to spend the next year hernied by in the ice, but they were strong and finally won their struggle. Such men as this are invaluable to the country. May we have more of them.
Poor connections, reports say,
caused a sound as of machine guns to
break into Holland's noon hour
entertainment over the radio Sunday.
We all hope it wasn't symbolic, but
we can't help thinking how many
more people must have been listening
in then that there were sitting up at
5 o'clock in the morning for King
George's peace message a while back.
Instructors on this Hill afford considerable merriment among their students by their actions on Monday morning. But their symptoms cannot be analyzed; each is in a class of his own.
INSTRUCTORS ON BLUE MONDAY
Continued observation of their freekish conduct leads to the conclusion that the week-end vacation must have something to do with their actions on blue Monday.
A certain instructor who has been sore for a number of years carries on a class lecture without any preparation, and turns out his class because he has nothing to say. Another takes the whole class period explaining the reason why the assignment must be this way on Monday. And the students laugh up their sleeves and wonder if instructors will be that way forever.
One instructor would astonish his pupils he would be to appear in class on time, or even within fifteen minutes of the whistle. Another has that peculiar complex of being critical and apologizing because he put in a had night last night. Still another goes about his class work with his usual briskness, and gives no explanation of the week end's joyfulness.
AFTER RELIGION 4.7
The University's religious week was illustrated the progress which has been made in twentieth century thought. There was none of the fullbullah of the old-time revival. Little was said of sin and redemption, or faith and salvation; nor were the students frightened into conversion by detailed accounts of hell and the need of open-mindedness in our religious thinking was stressed. Voluntary belief and organization were recommended rather than strict formalism and dogmatism Emotionalism was replaced by nationalism.
AFTER RELIGIOUS WEEK
In general, college students pay little attention to tradition and custom. Formation means little to them, and the old terms of sin, redemption, faith, and salvation mean less. The ideas of open-mindedness and the supremacy of reason are, as a rule, in harmony with student thinking. In these forms, religion becomes to the student a genuine part of his education.
The latest mayorally candidate of a neighboring village comes out violently "uncontrolled by any person, class or interest." But maybe he didn't mean it. The only mayor we can think of who might qualify in that way was "bossy" Gillis.
Television would prove quite helpful in some cases. Our youthful professor called up the other night, and we mistook him for an arring cub, ud told accordingly.
Poison jury in deadlock—headline. Rather rough treatment, seems to us.
At The Concert
By Lela May Ensign
"Without desire—without suffering—pause—nothing," such was the spirit of his words, selenic in tone; by Bloch, at the piano recital last evening of Virginia Derge. The atmosphere was so tensely portrayed that the war in Iraq seemed to have been a castle far from human beings where the only sound was low vii-
Throughout the evening atmosphere was the dominating factor as she and her band performed a quartet of tone. She carried the audience with her from one mood to another by playing with the contrasts of panziumo and power were accompanied with easy grace.
Nor did Miss Derge lack virtuosity. The difficult Bach "Gryn Pres" of the opera in *D Major* "on the program for the ballet," a technique, and marked marked apront to the audience which was not afforded a dull moment during performance.
Her second number, a Beethoven sonata, seemed to issue from the art-deco period and took much as from the piano. Her third number was the impressionistic "Nirr"
When the strains of the next number, "Hirpsopyo in F Sharp Miner" by Dohanyi, had thoroughly capable fingers, she was interrupted by a gripr, gripr. Some thoughtless listener was winding his watch. Then, for the first and only time during the event, she observed attention from the keyboard showing that she was very much aware of her audience. With a look that clearly said "Step that," she searched for a moment in the part of the room from whence came the disturbing sound. Then she turned back to her keyboard. The incident was of great interest to her, a sure warning to watch-winders.
PRACTICE TEACHERS:
The "Fausit Walz" of Llist constituted a fitting finale to the event, which included an impressive difficulty of technique and those of mt-omopheric quality. The sheer beauty of the composition and its clear and powerful tone pleased the audience, who had come to a senior recital and found it more concert-like. Heen Stockwell, in 'n32, assisted with a violin solo, "Ballade and Polonaise" by Vixentamus, found himself performing a difficult and heavy number, and Miss Stockwell played with good intension and artistic interpretation. Everyly in 'n32, accomplished Miss Stockwell.
