STUDENT WORKERS
Today many of the young are seek ing an education. The older realize the situation in many cases and provide for the education of their children. In other cases the boy or girl must shift for himself or herself. It may be that the parents can support the child in school but do not feel that it is necessary. The mistaken idea that the greatest college men work their way through leads these people to believe that their child should work — and be great. They fail to realize the enormous amount of energy and time that study in a university, if done properly, takes from a student. And then, of course, there are many parents who are unable to assist their children.
Regardless of which of these situations a self-supporting student finds himself in, he is confronted with the task of making his own living. With his desire to secure an education, and fortified with all the illusions of wonders coming to those working their way through school, he embarks for the university town. Few realize the actual situations they will be called upon to face.
We may take for example Pete, Pete arrives in Lawrence with his summer wages in his pockets, probably totaling about one hundred dollars. He goes to a rooming house and is greeted by the landlady who makes him promise to keep the room for the semester.
Pete may go down town and apply for a job at a few places. The merchant will be sympathetic but have no job to offer. The Y, M, C, A is probably the next place visited. Here his name is listed with scores of others. After telling the "Y" officials his case they will sympathize with him, say it is too bad he can't get a job, and finish by telling him to come to the meetings and attend church regularly.
Still not discouraged Pete wandered down Massachusetts St. again and finally stumbles upon a job. The boss will not promise him employment for the entire semester. The pay will be from sixteen to twenty-five cents an hour. In eating houses boys are expected to work from four to six hours a day for their board. If he is fortunate to hold his job for any length of time he learns that the employer refuses to pay more for the simple reason that he can hire at that price. To pay more would be foolishness. This is a case in which foolishness and injustice are synonymous.
He will also be put in fear of his job. If the employer finds some person who can do the same work and has a reputation of any kind on the Hill he will attract more business. In these cases the employers sadden helmets to fire the one and hire the other. Clothing stores of Lawrence are the best examples of this. An athlete also may be hired and some one else discharged with the blunt assertion that he is not needed. The business man in case reasons that to have a winning team K. U. must have the players. Any good players who have not the means of support should be supported because better teams mean bigger crowds which in
turn mean better business. Alumni also bear force indirectly, and also directly, to get merchants to hire athletes.
He is also in competition with the athletic department which brings all the pressure possible on the merchants to hire athletes. We cannot blame the athletic teams. They are only doing what a crowd of wincrowded sport fans are demanding of them at the cost of their job and re
Faced with these conditions the boy probably grins and hears the brunt of the attack, hoping that in later life he will cease the benefits of his suffering. If he happens to be an athlete he will find things just as hard if not harder. The athlete must do his school work, his outside work the same as the other workers and at the same time spend three or four hours a day practicing. The tax on his mental and physical make-up is greater than on that of most others but we bear less about it because by temperament he is less inclined to grumble, and because of his athletic ability he is able to stand more.
Thwes stole two electric fans in Salina when it was 10 degrees below zero. They surely must have been hot.
PLANES SAFER THAN TRAINS
Aviation, like all new things, has had to work against tremendous odds to get established. Probably the greatest odd has been prejudice backed by fear. The recent disaster at Los Angeles resulting in the death of sixteen when a plane failed to make a good landing is now uppermost in the minds of the American people. Few of us would be willing to go in the air if the dread of death stalked in the wake of our fears. But is there any reason why we should have such grave fears of flying? We were told by a speaker at the recent engineering meeting here, that in proportion to the number of passengers carried and the number of miles covered there are fewer flying accidents than railroad incidents!
Start driving results in many accidents and checks point to these to prove this point that flying is unsafe. Would those many people point to the incidents resulting from careless driving as a proof that automobiles are unafee? Would they advocate the abolition of the track? Surely not. They would advocate fixing the track or whatever it was that went wrong. And they would rather keep the careless driver from the automobile.
Aviation will come into its own in time. We do not know how long it will take but we do know that it will come; and the quicker people adopt a sensible attitude towards it the sooner we will be able to get its benefits.
The Mayor of a Wisconsin town, announcing that checkers is a dangerous form of gambling, prohibits it in all public buildings. Next thing, no doubt, that town will have a police and fireman's strike on its hands.
PRIVATE PEAT'S PLAN
Because he knows from experience exactly what he is talking about and can dramatize that knowledge vividly for his audiences, Private Peat will no doubt make more converts to the cause of peace than any other one agent. His proposal to institute proceedings at the candle will make progress slow at first but it is sure to reach the greatest success ultimately if put into practice. Take the glory out of war as eulogized in school books, poems and songs taught to the youth of the world and put it into worthwhile pursuits of peace, is Peat's advice.
This policy would involve a revolution in text books, present methods of teaching and public opinion, but it would be well worth the upheaval. To activities productive of social betterment and the general good of the whole world, must be transferred the recognition and rewards which have previously been given to the heroic figures of war. Man is interested in what will bring him the greatest glory. Consequently if the prizes and praised award the courageous warrior were transferred by public esteem to the successful figures of social life, war would be cut down at its source.
Delegates of Five Powers Assembled in London for Naval Conference Designed to Cut World's Sea Force
London, Jan. 21—Representatives of the five great naval powers—Great Britain, United States, Japan, France and Italy—met today in the historic Royal Gallery of the House of Lords to attempt to apportion the sea armaments of the world.
United Press Staff Correspondent
By WEBR MILLER
The primary purposes of the conference are:
It may well be the most momentous international meeting since the Treaty of Versailles and may prove to be a great turning point in the hist-
To take further steps in work disarmament, a policy to which the powers were committed by the Treaty of Versailles.
To achieve force or parity of naval forces of Great Britain and United States and prevent a race between them, it might conceivably war in,战
To reduce or at least limit construction of navies in future, with a consequent saving of vast amounts of money to taxmasters.
To forestall naval rivalry between France and Italy and stabilize the situation in the Mediterranean upon Britain, Great Britain, France and Italy.
To stabilize the naval position of Janan in the Pacific on a basis satisfactory to United States and Great Britain.
Underlying the immediate purposes of the conference are two basic objectives. They are, first, to confer with other states on the Conference of 1921 which succeeded in limiting for 10 years construction of battleships and aircraft carriers by increasing the number of submarines, and, secondly, to bolster up the disarmament machinery of the League of Nations which was dendocked by the failure of the General Assembly.
Two Basie Objectives
Before the conference met some of the most dangerous questions had alas been raised about the variations during the months since the conference was called. In their Institute talks on the banks of the Petrochemical Center, Mr. Donald and President Hevo laid the foundation for solution of many of the problems in many countries. The most important was that Great Britain conceded to the United States parity in all categories.
In the course of conversations between Ambassadors during many weeks, the ground was partially cleared and the main points of disagreement were de-
Points of Disagreement
So far as they were known before the conference the principal points o disagreement were;
The cruiser tonnage of United States and Great Britain. There was still a cap of 30,000 tons between their conceptions of minimum cruise reservation.
Italy's demand for naval parity with France.
No generation that has experienced war will jump into another war on any such meager pretext as may have caused the first. Ignorance of the real meaning and circumstances of wars which have been cameofaagged and glorified on all sides permits war to follow war. But merely emphasizing its dangers and horrors to the uninitiated only adds to the glamour which war holds for them, so the only means by which war can be truly abolished is to rob it of its glory and rewards.
Winter in full blast, announces a Cincinnati Enquirer headline, and the Thoughtful Freshman adds that most of the blasts to have centered upon Mt. Oread.
At last we have a solution to the old problem, "How high is up." All you have to do is take one half the altitude, and multiply it by two.
Our amnesia having suddenly lifted we realize with a shock that the note book we have not been keeping was turned in at the end of the semester.
Prohibition as a child of the nation was 10 years old Thursday—still just a youngster and we can't blame it for the mistakes of grown-ups.
France's insistence upon retention of submarines as the principal arm of her navy and her desire for greater tonnage of submarines.
Sleeping porches are more popular when it is time to get up in the morning than at bed-time at night.
The optimistic advertiser is the one who advertises curb service for icecream on a day like this!
The muse listens in on an economics class: "... and I don't see why we need to have cows. At home in Kansas City we buy our milk from the milk man."
Great Britain's insistence upon abolition of the submarine if other powers will agree. She is supported on this point by the United States.
Japan's request for a larger rate of cruisers and auxiliary ships including submarines.
France's and Italy's insistence upon global limitation instead of by categories which would permit them to travel to Europe from small cruises and submarines.
The above are only a few of the delicate and complicated questions with which the conference is faced.
Authoritative quarters expressed the opinion that the points likely to cause the most difficulty were Italy's and France's French insistence upon a big submarine fleet, and the Japanese demand for higher cruiser nation in relation to Italy.
Contention by France and Italy that the problem of sea armaments should be considered instead of separately as the United States, Great Britain or France.
As far as is generally known, the attitudes of the powers may be roughly summarized as follows:
ENGLAND — Wants reduction in the size of battleships and lengthening of the age before replacement; committing to the limitation of their sizes; a large number of small cruisers to protect her shipping lines and provide security against an attack; an increase in the strength with United States an arrangement in the Mediterranean so that neither France nor Italy could interfere with American ships in the Mediterranean with her Empire.
UNITED STATES — Wants full equality of naval strength with Great Britain; sufficient battleships to protect the Panama Canal, the Philippines and various lines of the United States; adequate quota of large cruisers with wide radius of action in order to equalize the United States' deficiency of naval bases as compared with Great Britain; in the Pacific in relation to Japan.
JAPAN — Wants a ratio of large cruisers of 10.5-16 as compared with United States and England or seven times that ratio; powers; a larger quota of submarines for coastal defence; a reduction of battleships or lengthening of period armament.
ITALY — Wants naval parity with France or some arrangement which will safeguard her against domination by the enemy. We would have sufficient naval forces to protect her communications with the world outside the Mediterranean; an arrangement to permit her to devote her manpower to sea warfare, small cruisers instead of battleships.
FRANCE — Waits to devote her tomato principally to submarines, small cruisers and auxiliary ships; she has also built her long trade-routes, her communications with North Africa, Indo-China and South America, and strength as compared with United States and Great Britain than the ratio of 5.5-17 fighter at the Washington Navy Base. She safeguards communications with Africa and also to protect the Atlantic
After the opening meeting the regular sessions of the conference were held in 1888, Queen Elizabeth summoned Sir Francis Drake to discuss plans to improve the Royal Navy.
Sessions in Palace
The five delegations number more than 250 diplomats, technical experts and scientists in various hotels in the center of the city. In all her long history London has never witnessed such an impressively diverse international diplomatic and naval advisers.
The conference has drawn the largest gathering of international journalists since the Treaty of Versailles, representing more than 30 nations will
be writing the story of the conferen ce.
In one of the rooms were installed 50 telephone boxes, many of them special lines connected directly with newspaper offices.
Several rooms in St. James' Palace were assigned as press rooms with a complete installation of cable lines to all parts of the world.
Estimates of the duration of the conference vary from four weeks to six months.

Thinks Dove Staff Sh
Be Examined
Editor. Daily Kansan:
May I ask what the Dove claims as it purpose in life? Or does it have any? For three years I have incurred an attempt to discover the factor of progresiveness and independence in my work, and I found nothing but a few uninspired ravings of socially unorientated men. But I am not surprised that the Dove seem to be unhappy and psychologically it may serve a purpose of giving them a means of venting their frustrations.
Wouldn't it really be a saving of time, paper and ink if these individuals were turned over to psychiatrists for analysis and treatment? It would be unrealistic on the HIH yet this year. In the few occasion that their comments have even aroused the student body it has later seemed probable that the real facts are distorted, but it is getting weak in its old age.

The first of two advanced student recitals to be presented this week was introduced last night by a piñata in the theater ("Piñata at") by Grieg, played by Patti Johnson. It was played well and was a good beginning for the evening's event; the piñatas were played were "The White Peacock" (Griffes) by Ruth Spindler, and "Bouree Phantaque" (Chabrier) by Janet Seymour. The show selection with a strange harmony and many changes of mood; the other was characterized by a distinctions in phrasing and musical impression of mastery. "Fireworks" by Dubusy, which was to have been played by Evelyn Swartz, was inspired by the miss Mise SWartzwhut's illness.
The two outstanding vocal performances of the program were *The Voice* by David Niven, Kathryn Langmatee Nelson, seprano, Miss Moten, who assisted Florence Webster in senior recital on Jan. 7, and *Bob Dylan* with lovely voice seemed under better control in her Nelson of last night performance. Mrs. Nelson gave demonstrations of the power and splendid control of her voice in numerous trills.
The other vocal soles were "Deh Viient Non nordur" by Mozart, sang in the bass part with "amor" from "Martina" by F. v. Fletow, by Karl Bratton, Miss Selell's calm voice seemed small but unassuming. Her development in volume and quality Mr. Bratton's song was well sung and presented a good voice of presentaion and a good voice.

Mexican Officials Find Cortez Archives Missing
Mexico City—The Mexican government has just taken possession of the seized drug cartel leader Queret, Hernando Cortez, and has found that important documents of the cartel have been found.
A direct heir of the Spanish conqueror Cortez turned several hundred yellow bundles of the Cortex papers over to the government to be catched up by a court injurious. It is now rumored that some of the outstanding documents expected to appear in the collection have found their way into the United States.
A very son, largely played by Genevieve Hargis, a violin solo, "Hymn to the Sun" by Helen Stockwell, and an organ number "Danse Macabre" by Meta Murphy and Ruby Macabre. In interactions of the evening, Although Miss Hargis' sola held the absolute attention of her audience, an unpleasant sliding from one not to another caused Miss Stockwell played with assurance and a majestic tone worthy of praise to the sum. The organ number at the conclusion of the program was an unassuming tone played time played with orchestral effects.
Rapid examination of the archives indicates that Cortez' will is missing, as are the titles given him by the Spanish king. Missing also is the title "Saint Joan," and the "Sad Night," June 30, 1520, written on the morning following.
The documents have been preserved in the Hospital de Jesus, which was founded by mandate of Cortez himself, in 1535. From time to time persons have had access to the archives and one has ever systematically studied them. The incomplete state of the collection was not realized.
The Mexican government hopes to use the documents of the collection to add to present knowledge of the Conquest period of Mexican history.
