FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS
Perfect days, these, and visitors swarm our campus each Sunday, among many future students of this or another school.
Writers, advertisers, business men,
psychologists tell us frequently that
the first impression is the most important.
What is the first impression
we give them?
The visitor who comes up Fourteenth street is confronted bypty with our private collection of bulletin boards, bad enough, but passable, for his attention may be diverted to the flower bed. But the visitor who enters by the Oread avenue route?
He is told that he is on the campus by an ugly signboard containing a speed limit admonition. As a back ground for this he sees the rats left by trucks working on the Union building last year and the barren billowing with its million gutters. The Union building is not the best background conceivable either, but the ivy may cover it by 1975. A neat boulder landscape would distinctly help it too.
MAMA! WE WANT A KING
If he books further, the visitor may see Marin Grove with rustic, verdant beauty, or he may turn his attention to the stadium nestling like a white bowl against a background of trees. The campus as a whole is beautiful, but the first impression-
Amid all the pump andspender of which twentieth century England is capable, the court of St. James opened at Buckingham palace two days ago for the purpose of receiving the friends of the King and Queen and the friends of said friends.
Among the 700 who were presented at the first of the five sessions were a good many Americans, social climbers seeking the supposed distinction of the phrase "Presented at the Court of St. James."
There will be more of them pre-
presented tonight and every other night
until the close of court, and the num-
ber will be larger next year.
For the love of gift and grandmother is only a seed in childhood compared to the consuming passion it becomes in the maturity. In addition, presentation at the court offers that immense sensation of proven superiority which is one of life's greatest joys.
The fact that the superFairy is in field in which few are interested and that it indicates nothing whatever o personal fault has no bearing on the matter. If one has been presented at court, one must be something, mustn't one?
In order to fulfill to the greatest possible extent the governmental function of promoting the happiness of its citizens, we suggest that we elect a King, a man whose hearing is as regal as that of a movie potentate, whose arm is capable of formally opening the baseball season, and whose temperament is such that he will tolerate the sinusity of our 100 million idol worshipers who crowd into long lines for a momentary handshake with an overworked president or who crowd the courts of other countries in frencized efforts to be "presented."
CRITICAL NOBLESSE OBLIGE
College students are notoriously critical, very, very critical. And it is right that college students should be critical—samebody has to take the job, and, it would seem, college students are peculiarly well fitted for it. But college students are not always as rational as they are critical. And that is too bad. The college student takes a doctrine or an 1m under surveillance and bends his critical eye upon it. He finds a flaw, two flaws, perhaps, as many as three or nine. He takes the imy by the tail and drags it in a deep well. The ninety or a thousand, as the case may be, excellencies which the discarded doctrine may have possessed, the student overlocks in his concentrated attention to the flaws. In his zeaborn effort to uphold the critical tradition, he forgets the true significance of the subjective which modifies it.
- Perhaps that is why some college students are at odds with Christianity. Perhaps that is the reason some students snicker molibly at the Volunteer Act. Perhaps here is the cause for the ceremonial transgression by a college student of the prevailing moral codes. Perhaps college students sometimes overindulge their yen for censorious criticism while forgetting to be commendatory in cases in which the commendable qualities outnumber the bad.
What if the world was eroded
onergo than some four thousand
dd years. B. C, on an idle Friday?
Christianity has a lot of good suggestions for personal living that won't hurt you a hit if you follow them. And what does it sigily if your great uncle on your good old dad's side lived to be 96 years old, a booster to the end? The other day out in Hollywood, a young man yet in his youth died from over-drinking. Prohibition has its good points. And, further, what if there is a lot more divorce now than 50 years ago, and what if the magazines are doubling their circulation by printing many articles on modern sex mortality and commonsion marriage? Chastity and loyalty are still amdirable qualities; they are not? At least you'll grant them are so far as your own folks are concerned. Perhaps they deserve a wider recognition.
Criticism means the weighting and appraisal of things taking the good with the bad, and attempting to find a mean between the two which will be a proper gauge of the whole. If the student is of a creative turn of mind, it may appropriately attempt to out the bad from the good qualities and substitute in their place other harmonious good ones. However, there can be no logic in discarding the good because it is tainted with the bad, unless the bad far exceeds the good. Even then the good should be preserved for future reference. To reject outlyly Christianity or the Eighteenth Amendment or the moral code because of a minority of points, which are, at the worst, bad because they are ineffective or not quite suited to modern needs, constitutes a breach of the critical faith which is unpassable.
If college students are to carry their share of the world's burden of criticism, let them be quite certain that they do not violate their privilege by false thinking or selfish rationalization. They have a critical responsibility, and let them remember to bear it in the true spirit of noblesse oblige

A NEW LOVERS' LANE
It was fine publicity twenty years ago to教ad the ambitious high school youth, in search of a suitable campupon which to get his education, a picture of the shaded cinder path overlooking the valley of the Kaw, and to put beneath it the magic words "Love's Lane."
Bai in these silly,Jobny out at Newton,Dodge, or Norton will look at the picture dully and wonder how in the world one could ever drive a car along such a narrow path.
Japan, we've been told for some time, has been adopting American sports in recent years. The first concrete proof we're noticed, though, is in the policy of protection of Jap nationals in Taiwan. From the 45,003 Japanese soldiers who are being dispatched to "protect" the 12,600 Japanese nationals in Taiwan, we take it that they are thoroughly of the belief that "the best defense is a strong offense."
The great University of Kanan can afford to her behind, closing herself in matters of junior import with the most backward of schools. We urge the Chancellor, the Board of Regents, and the Legislature to take steps immediately to provide a twentieth century lover's lane for the K. U. university.
If a picture of this new "Lover's Lane" were sent to all high schools, the register would need many answers. I take care of the increased enrollment.
We suggest that the road be made more wintry, and be at least thirty feet wide so that there will be ample room for cars to park on both sides. A perennial moon and stars should also be installed. And the University marshal should be informed that there is enough on the rest of the campus to require his attention at light.
To the four hundred and ninety-seven men of the Immigration Border Patrol is intrusted the task of guarding some six thousand miles of international frontier. In other words, each patrol officer covers, as best he can, about twelve miles of border;
NETS WITH TWELVE-MILE MESHES

Cigars
If the Bureau of Immigration care is recommending the addition of two hundred patrol officers to the present force, with a proportionable appropriation for their maintenance, it errs on the side of conservation; for if our frontiers are to be guarded at all, they should be guarded with reasonable thoroughness.
Oswald, who would be the printer's devil if the Kansan could afford one, says that the army can go home my time now since it so valiantly handled the matter of honorary colonel.
The striking thing is not that many aflees are bootlegged in through the twelve-mile mesh of these border nets, but that so many are kept out. The more troublesome frontier lies along the reachs of the shallow Rio Grande; and yet, even here, the smugglings in of allleas has been reduced by about seventy-five per cent. Considering the handicaps of limited personnel and small appropriations, seventy-five per cent efficiency is no small achievement. If men and money were available, this performance might be steadily bettered until it reached ninety-five per cent. It would be sound economy for the Director of the Budget and the Appropriations Committee to bring the attainment of this goal within the bounds of possibility.
