THUSDAY, JANUARY 9.1930 LIBRARY VENTILATION A course in ventilating, temperature, and humidity is recommended to the library administration. The reading-room on the second floor is seldom filled. The reserve room in the basement is usually much more so. One reason is that the temperature in the reserve room is more conducive to alertness, even though it is drafty at times. Atmospheric conditions are very important. If one sits in a draft, or becomes to hot or too cold or too moist or too dry or in any way has his attention forced upon his mere physical comfort, just so must detraction from concentration occurs. It seems a small thing, ventilation, but try to keep awake while reading a fairly heavy book in the reading room, especially right after lunch Words slip by drowsily, half-understood; then there comes an almost uncontrollable desire to let one's head sink upon one's arms and welcome Morpheus. Proper lighting, heat, ventilation, humidity—they can't be seen, so they seem unimportant, but they are very necessary to mental alertness. ABOLISH THE TIR-OFF Private Peat will lecture here Jan. 15. What, is that man still a private? Two different systems were used. The first was one which has been used elsewhere this season as a substitute for the jump at center, and the other an invention of Coach Allen. Of the two, the former seemed to work out better, but more than likely with a lot of practice, the latter would work just as well. But, in our opinion, neither of them proved as good as the original tip-off. ABOLISH THE TIP-OFF? In the basketball game between Kansas and Mexico, the fans had a chance to see a game with the tip-off abolished. This phase of the game has been receiving much attention all over the country, and many have voiced the opinion that it should be eliminated. However, after watching this game, one is tempted to believe that such an net would be an unwise one. It is true the game is speeded up by using either of the two proposed plans, and perhaps they tend to make the score more even, but a certain strain, a certain stimulating factor, is missing when the tip is not used. Competition is now open for the best or worst hard-luck story, concerning finals. OFF FOR LONDON Bound on a mission to limit the sea fighting strength of the five, or four, or three great naval powers, Henry L. Stimson, secretary of state, and chairman of the delegation, and the other American delegates sailed today for London. The American delegation feels that it is prepared for several months of hard work. Its plans are made and informal conferences between President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald and Walter E. Edge and the French ministers have paved its way. London correspondents inform us Nat the parley is likely to begin slow; and cautiously with an exchange of views as to national requirements of each, in view of naval defense. There are no surprises in store, no declaration of policy by any delegates as was the case in 1921 at the Washington conference when Charles E. Hughes revealed the entire plans of the United States. The American delegation will urge a curtailment in all categories of warships, and will oppose the ratio idea. It recognizes the obstacles as being great, but feels they are not insuperable. The delegation goes with the good will of the nation. May it return with an even better sentiment to greet it. Now that the Italian and Belgian royal wedding is out of the way, what has happened to John and Florence "bollidge?" WHY SPATS? The same fellows who not so many years ago resisted violently the efforts of their mothers to force them into "sissy" leggings for winter are today rising two minutes earlier than usual to don a much more "sissy" half brother to the leggins, spats. There is a reproach for any vireil man in the more名美 of the things. Ah, that man should be a slave to that god of woman, fashion. The little felt boot tops have all the grace and beauty of an army blanket thrown over an old nag. They serve to cover up any defects of an old pair of oxfordes except those of the toe. Such谏虽 is not tolerable in a fearless man-creature- he should be unashamed to let the world see honest battle scars. Were spats worn purely for the purpose of protection against the winter elements, we might shut our eyes and excuse them. But the dainty little horse blankets were as popular in the heat of the summer. They make a number nine shoes look like a nineteen, and so overbalance the opposite end that it is necessary to call into assistance another atrocity, the derby. Spats are not only an outrage in themselves to artistic sensibilities, but they incite others as bad or worse. WHY NOT SPATS? Despite the blizzard raining on Mount Oread chilling the marrow of un-fur-coated males, some one, it seems, has inadvertently chosen this time to criticize the masculine institution of spats. It is strange that this striking expression of patriarchism should come in this ultra-modern era of long skirts. But, after all, it is not unnatural that this new freedom of man should arouse proteins from tradition-bound woman. Such is human nature. Woman may as well admit, however, that her long domination is weakening. Man, enslaved through the ages, is breaking the thongs of bondage. The persistence of spats is conclusive evidence of that tendency. Woman may cry that this new freedom of man is disrupting the home, and will have an adverse effect on the future generation. She may protest that man is crowding her out of her proper spheres. But the world moves. The cries of reactionaries will not hinder it. And the new freedom of man will grow, and spats will spread throughout the land. Fashion so decrees. And anyhow, spats are comfortable. London—(UIP) -Bootlegging, an industry supposedly confined mainly to the United States, is now hauling British excise authorities. Home brewing of beer is being carried out on a large scale, according to customs officials. "All this whining about the injustice of finals makes me tired," was the beaten announcement made by one instructor to another. "It is a student's fault if he allows his work to slide all semester and pile up in an unconquerable mountain at the end." True it is! Cheap Home Brew Gets Foothold in England to Escape Excise Tax And yet only yesterday that identical instructor bethought himself of a paper, collateral reading and quiz over half the text which must be done by one of his classes before the end of the semester. Clearly he loaded these burdens on the shoulders of students already weighted down by similar belated assignments from other instructors. And only two weeks to go. AS YE TEACH, SO DO! Such practice eliminates paying the duty now enforced by the government. Brewers' associations are objecting to the new underground liquor Do Not Forget we will serve Hot Biscuits Free each Thursday evening Come to The New CAFETERIA These academic paragams of ours have let us down again. They who would teach us to do our work consistently and not allow it to stack up in insurmountable heaps have been guilty of the same sin. If they do not consider their teaching worthy of use, how can we be expected to do so? May we all start the new semester right by making a budget schedule of work and time and LIVE UP TO IT. Speaking of pipe courses, think of the Fine Arts students studying pipe organ. The trouble with cold weather is that nobody appreciates it. The Daily OColegian, student publi- cator of the Agricultural and Me- chnical college of Stillwater, Okla, announces the installation of the in- tended type of high-speed Duplex press in their plant. They claim to have one of the most modern printing industries in the field of college publications. *Traffic. A government inquiry is to be made and some form of national control suggested. Official figures show that during the past 10 years, the annual consumption of beer has increased from 280 gallons to 290 gallons. Catered and kitchen breweries are largely responsible for consumption. Malt and hops, also obtainable in the United States, are the chief ingredients used in the home breweries. They provide the most valuable ingredients necessary to make three gallons of beer can be secured from the cooler for 24 hours or stored for about 35 cents. The boiling brand can be made for two cents a pint, compared with the usual price of $1.00. An excise official said about the existing condition when questioned: "We know that home brewing is on the increase, and we are taking all possible precautions to discover those problems." He has been many prosecutions this year. "We are almost powerless, for no house to search is obviously imminent. We are not powerless, however, on information received, on evidence obtained by police." Beer is exquisite if it contains the alcohol equivalent of 2 per cent spirit spirits. Packets now sold with the printed instructions for correct brew. Pitch Has More Power to Annoy Us Than Tone Relance Service Hamition, N., Y. Jan, 9-Why the high notes of a shrill soprano solo are more apt to be received with a live performance than in a poor conversational voice, is accounted for by two psychologists who have been experimenting with annoyance.

IPTS IPTSIMMONS Publishie Chairman tect the ears and nerves of workers when the actual volume of noise it makes is much smaller. It has been generally believed that high pitches were especially annoying. But whether low pitches were also irritating has been a question. Doctor Laird reports that the high pitches he used were decidedly more pleasant, and describes as "moderately neutral." Low pitched tones were found to be an annoying as high, except that the most irritating were the most irritating of all. If the absolute zero of annoyance be determined, it will be possible to measure the degree of airyness arisen by different degrees of pitch and volume of sound, the Send the Daily Kansan home.
