WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, 1929 FOUR YEARS Four years have nearly gone since the class of '29 first enrolled on the Hill, years filled with study and idiom. As the time approaches when the members of the class will receive their diplomas, the thought of breaking ties becomes increasingly oppressive. Mount Oread with its blue vistas of the Kaw is hard to leave. During the four long years strangers have become friends and in a few years will become strangers again; professors, for the most part, have been only speaking acquaintances. The four years will bring a last-living friendships, a few marriages. Graduation night with its solemn formality will be filled with fine speeches, advice for the future that will be spoken unheard. Parents who have sacrificed will be even happier than the students. "Come, heart, where hill is heaped upon hill: Out of it all, the drudgery of class room exercises, the triumphs, the defeats, will come a few who have advanced intellectually and at the same time have retained their naturalness To these persons Yeats surely addressed the lines: And river and stream work out thirty will. For there the mystical brotherhood Of sun and moon and hollow and wood their will." The four years, the trouble, the expense will not have been wasted if a few such individuals having something of the "divine awkwardness of genius," naturalism, are graduated for it upon them—to be both trite and true—that the future strength of the nation depends. CHILDISH VANDALS Nature is at her best in the springtime; but man, released from his long season indoors, is not content to enjoy her beauties. He must expend his pent-up energies in destroying them just as a child tears to pieces a new toy. Within the last few days all hatches and axes have been barred from Swope Park, Kansas City's beautiful natural playground. Pickeniers cut down too many young trees and valuable shrubs in attempting to show their creative and constructive abilities. When the wood was too green to burn, the so-called nature lovers, made campfire equipment with it. A few pickeniers of this type can tear down more in one afternoon than nature can rebuild in a year. Camperns with their hats and axes, tin cans, and cigarette stems are daily leaving their ugly marks on the virgin woodlands of America. Before many years they will be gone, unless drastic measures are not taken to stop such ruthless vandalism. How deplorable is he who cannot appreciate Nature's superb beauties enough to help preserve them, or at least enough not to ruin them in a sort of childish glee. ILLUSIONS One by one, childish idols are shattered. From infancy, people are as sured and reassured that New York is a city of unfriendliness. If a person becomes down and out in that huge city of loneliness, the solemn pronouncement of outsiders is that no one ever notices; he who falls must sink alone. With this gh�mo mental picture firmly fixed in one's mind, it is a trite disconcerting to read the newspaper account of the frail old man who was acutely to sit in an easy chair by a window. One family in the apartment across the street noticed that with the disappearance of the old man, a row of medicine bottles appeared on the window ledge. When the old man reappeared in the window, the man of the family of observers rushed to his window to verify his wife's announcement of the fact. In spite of early teaching, and later echoes, it is almost necessary to conclude that some New Yorkers must have feelings like the people in the states they came from. The Arctic is not cold, New York is part human, and the ostrich does not hide his head in the sand. What further disillusionment awaits us? AMERICANIZED GERMANY Germany is trying to get back on her feet and is not holding any grudge against anyone in the attempt. American industries and products are finding a good market in the Rhineland. The Germans do not resent the American invasion but seem to invite it, since it means more work for the laboring man. Many of the leading motor car concerns have either bought or rented pants and have equipped them with the most up-to-date machinery. They are using as much German raw material as possible as it is not only a saving of custom duties but also a matter of policy in sales and advertising. Many other American companies have factories in Germany employing thousands of men. American modes of dress and amusements are sweeping the country by storm. A new theater in Berlin has been named the "Roys" after New York's own. Along the Kurfürstendamm, Berlin's Broadway, the flappers say "all right," sing American songs and many of their chew gum just as fast as their sisters overseas. The Germans proudly refer to themselves as the "Anks of Europe." France and England bitterly resent the Yank invasion as they think it is ruining their own trade. There is as great difference in feeling toward the United States in these three countries and there is also a great difference in their post-war comeback to normality. Today's Best Editorial AN ADMIRABLE PRECEDEN' At the very outset of his Administration, President Hoyer had told newspaper correspondents that he will pass on the myth in his dealings with the American people through the press. Ever since the Administration of President Taft press representatives at the White House have been bidden to quote the President directly on any matter, and we were forced to resort to some phrase such as "The president will be now proverbial" "White House Spokesman." This was an unfair with his public, evading the response from the press, that he made through the press. Mr. Hoover not only announced that he would permit himself to be quoted, but actually authorized several statements the other day for publication in a magazine does not follow that "Silent Cal" is to be replaced by "Lacious Horcab; but it is encouraging to find that the new President will make his position clear on matters of importance authoritatively on those matters Naturally Mr. Hoover takes pains to explain that he would occasionally talk at length on certain matters in his office, but the "material" which may not be quoted directly, which seems harmless enough, simply in order to enable correspondents to interpret the news and make it sound as if it is to be an end of the mysterious oracles that have emanated from the Executive Mansion for many years to serve only as added confusion in the minds of the American people and statements concerning the public affairs which the American people are entitled to know about. The course set by the President is calculated to realize confidence in his Administration. Cincinnati Enquirer Man Evolved From His More Humble Beginnings on Plateaus. Scientist Say New York.—Man evolved from his more humble beginnings on the partly wooded prairies or forest edges of unland plains, where he had to use his wits and speed to pursue the agile game that lives in such regions, and where he had a stock of good flints to use when the tool-making store of his development arrived. The probabilities in favor of this theory, as they are today, were extremely low. In the south, as outlined by Dr. Henry Fairfield Oeben, director of the American Museum of Natural History, in the first issue of the new scientific journal, Human Biology. "Inside Stuff" (Science Service) Having nothing more pressing on his mind, Insider decided no harm would be done by a repetition of the newsroom's "attacks" of the newsroom, so here goes: The news 'phone number is 25.

Editor Daily Kansan: --country on the subject of college men. He believes that the American public has the wrong impression of the college student. This is one of his questions: "Is a daunchy appearance, an evidenced by garterless skirts, ruined shirt and collar, sloppy shoes and wrinkled socks, typical of your study body?" Having just read the Campus Opinion, signed by "J." who states that K. U. is undemocratic in the Middle, I must contradict J. to contradict Misc. J. Perhaps K. U. does have that reputation, but if it does I never heard about it. It haptened me and I were surprised, and I came to K. U., because I had always heard that it was the most democratic university in the Middle. I may add that I will believe it is. At this point Miss J. will probably say that I am in an organization, No, I am not, but I have been and I am not yet. I am much better satisfied with my University life out of an organization than while I was pledged to one—I have more time for extra-curricular activities than I ever dreamed of belonging to while I was a pledge. Also, I believe that I, as well as the rest of the so-called barbs, have more indi- digenous mayorsy girl I harpeen to know. If Miss J. will investigate the matter, there will be find that in athletics there are men, and women, who wear a "K" and no not wear a fraternity jacket. The group is asked to all are of the Plo Boh Kappa) in organizations? No, Miss J. they are The book moves forward from week to week, throughout the year. Much of it is about the events of the town; and some of it is the imagination of the writer. In the first chapter, the writer hope it may give people, unfamiliar with small town life, such a picture of the town. I do not mean to give the impression that I am pleading for barbies—I plead for fair judgment of the situation—a judgment based on facts. And I cannot make my statement that K. U. really is democratic. Pollie M哭 really is democratic. Our Contemporaries SHERWOOD ANDERSON QUITS AS EDITOR A year ago Sherwood Anderson surprised everyone by going down to Virginia and buying two small town stores to try his hand at farming, but he found country life too isolated; and he did not wish to live there and have friends. "The writer living in a small town is nothing at all; he is just a writer," he explains. "He is just a stringer of words." So if nothing I could do to make myself a part of the common life except to run and edit the local county newspapers," he continues. "I believe I have got more out of it than I have ever got from any experience except my writing." "Hello, Town!" which Horace Liveiright will publish this month. In the book he says, "I have tried to give you some advice on how to a town-lifted right out of reality—the changing seasons, the events of the county court, the street—the comedy and tragedies of a year in a town." ARE YOU COLLEGIATE? One of the most ridiculous things if the month is the questionnaire that we clean in an Eastern college is sending out to 400 ensembles throughout the country. The ape-man of Java, Pithenthepterus erectus, is not an ancestor of man at all, Doctor Osborn thinks, but a moustache, who can move cottin, who can be wandered off into the warm tropics where living was easy and there was little opportunity or incentive to invent machines and remained physically and mentally primitive for ages, while his hardened presenced kinnend to the moth and the bird that inhabited the stable environment by conquering it and becoming real men in the process. Doctor Osborn rejects the whole varidian idea of a recent extinction and the great apes, on anatomical as well as geographical grounds. The tallicaes apes, considered to be more elongated than the other different in many respects, and too highly specialized in these differences, to be looked upon as "contemporary homo sapiens", are But the hand of man, with its exceedingly flexible fingers and opposable thumb, is an instrument of mankind's survival. It was a moral ever dreamed of having. Together with his highly organized brain, with which it grew up, the thumb has become an abrasion separate from any ante. To reach its present stage it must have been freed from the burden of treasured memories in locomotion for many millennia, and this, Doctor Osborn argues, could have occurred only in a groundless stage, ranging in a partly open region. Such a region, he thinks was offered That is a useless question to ask Surely the Dean should know that a young man is a vain young man, naturally interested in looking his best and the idea of it being a school life and sloppy shoes is very far from his thoughts. The college man is not the only man in the world who drinks or necks—as the dean puts it—and the fact that he has a degree in Collegeate is amply a word, while drinking and neck —necking are realities. As for the neglect of class work, the dean knows that he must be in college and to be in college he cannot neglect his classwork so that one answers itself. He also mentions dishonesty in school, and down to a final idea of being collegiate is far from his mind. If he does heset it is to get some information, and not to imitate what he sees that he is collegiate—Phillips Slate. He also asks: "Is there any connection, in your opinion, between the attempt to be collegiate and such problems as drinking, necking, neglect of classwork, dishonesty in college, and other ethical problems." In the editorial doomed as a department of the present-day college daily, 'The Oregon Emerald,' official student newspaper, has taken a radical step in the led of college journalism by its recent complete abolition of its editorial board. Editors of the paper content that interviewers read opinion handed out to them, editors, and prefer to read expressions if opinion from the student body at ARE COLLEGE EDITORIALS DOOMED? On the whole, at-large members of a student body are not competent to tell the news. They have not had the journalism training nor the contact with other students. In present article articles of comment and interpretation of events and trends Failure of readers of the Boston Traveler, a metropolitan daily which tried the same experiment, to approve he move, must prove to editors of student publications that readers do not have their news commented on by its writers. American college students are similar to American newspaper readers as a whole, in that they do not like them. They also have comments. They like to read the facts and then draw their own conclusions. On the other hand, however, the students "the Great Game of Politics," and Arthur Bibendum "Battsday," prove beyond a doubt that intelligent readers expected and deserved by the reader. Thus it behooves the college editor to provide that kind. -Oklahoma Daily. by the plains of Mongolia three or four geological periods ago, and his opinion has been strengthened by a journey into the region opened to the sight of the scientific world by the various Asian expeditions under which it was possible to infer alternative possibilities, however, he also suggests the highlands of Africa.

As Others See It AN INTERNATIONAL BANK Experts from seven countries, gathered at Paris to study and refashion a settlement of world war reparations. The group established an international bank. It would be not put primarily, to act as a truce for receiving annuities from the French government, to credit verifiers. It would give Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy, Japan and the United States, and it would finance deliveries in land. It would close cooperation with all the governments concerned is intended and also with bankers, if a decision is arrived at to make the German obligation. No suggestion of greater novelty has appeared in the whole range of debate covering the many features of bank regulation. In the past, banks, if organized, would have to be nonpolitical and free from any domestication financial relationships. This has been the case for the Bank Plan contemplate its location in one of the smaller states of Europe, possibly Ireland or Belgium, so that it can avoid a national valt.

As an instrument for facilitating carefully regulated action in reparations, so that the ordinary process of repair cannot be unsettled, the bank would seem to have a sphere of usefulness. Whether as a lender or as a provider of advantage in dealing with interimalled debts can hardly be judged at this stage, but it is likely to be not to be final. The super-bank theory will have to be avoided, anybody, in whatever is done, a fact that will not help to realize and that will be recognized in limitations surrounding it, should it KEELER'S BOOK STORE 939 Mass.
