IT IS LAMENTABLE
For several years there has been agitation for a new student hospital large enough and sufficiently well equipped to take care of any emergency.
Last Tuesday a student sought admission to the hospital. All beds were full. He was told that he could not be accommodated. So he fell worse. When, later, the hospital called to say a bed was finally available he hibed had a bus for Kansas City, his home. By the time he reached Kansas City he was delirious. The next Monday he was dead.
The demands for funds for this purpose have been refused time after time. Seeingly some great shock is necessary to awaken our treasury guardians to the needs of the University.
The shock has come. Will it awaken the legislature to action? Will this state continue to invest millions in the mental training of the young people and neglect their physical welfare in emergencies demanding the services of a modern hospital?
STEP NUMBER ONE
The project has been before the students for some time and the Kansan has advocated it in its columns. The council action may be safely taken as the crystallization of representative student opinion and its action will therefore be duly appreciated.
Not the least important of business taken up by the Men's Student Council Tuesday evening was the passage of a resolution, by petition, requesting the Memorial union committee to open the union to the public on Sunday afternoons.
And why?
The union committee, we understand, is ready to grant the request in spite of the fact that there will be involved the added expense of keeping a watchman during the open hours.
Any one who has visited the union can give the answer. Those who have been there a half dozen times in a better position still to comment. The answer is that seeing is believing and that belief will express itself in action. Which is merely one way of saying that the offener you see the union, the better you will like it and the more enthusiastic you will be for the union idea. At least that has been the experience of those who have tried it.
The problem, then, of making the union a part of student life is the problem of educating students to the benefits which may be derived. Opening the union on Sunday afternoon will be the first step in that direction. It will reach not only those students who are otherwise occupied during week days, but also the many outsiders who visit the campus on that day.
The beginning they has been made
The council has acted and the
committee will respond, we are certain.
The rest of the work lies with the
students. The least they can do is
show their appreciation by availing
themselves of the privilege as soon as
it is granted.
In the mean time, why not spend these extra minutes in the luxuriously furnished lounging room? Make it a habit.
ANOTHER MEMORIAL DRIVE
The Memorial building should be finished; as it now stands it falls far short of fulfilling the function of being a student center that was its original purpose. Completed, it will be a fitting memorial to the University, and will be a place in the world. Uncompleted, it is little short of nucleus.
A student tax has been declared illegal. The only remaining plausible solution is the raising of funds by voluntary student subscription.
It is here that the position of the Kanan must be clearly understood. Because of high-pressure methods used in the former drives for funds toward this project, the Kanan believes that any method of collection of funds other than through voluntary contribution will be contrary to the ideals which such a memorial voucher should represent.
The Memorial building should and must be completed, but only the voluntary contributions of students should unitary contributions of students should be used to bring this about.
Our little survey in grading professors as well as students, seems to have given the students at Stanford a thought. They are considering a similar survey with a view to giving the professors a chance to check up on the interest that they hold for their students.
WANTED—AN ISSUE
What we need right now is a burning issue or two, something to stir the souls of the voters; something, in short, to put a kick into politics. Unless some spectacular issue is developed only half of the qualified voters of the United States will, as has been shown in the past few elections, vote in the primaries.
The average American reacts quickly to anything that offers a chance for a real contest. Until about forty years ago the vote pulvinar in the United States run up to eighty per cent. We led the world in our absorption in things political. But there was always some big issue to sit the interest of the voter. The slavery question and the problems of reconstruction following the Civil War made men's blood run high for a quarter of a century. The tussil, which today is the price chestnut of politics, was a new and highly controversial problem then.
We have now, entirely within our domain, a question that most certainly can be brought up to the fever heat necessarily required by the voting public before they will take the trouble to commit themselves.
This third republic of ours, the nearest approach to plutocracy our government has ever known, seems to be nearing its crisis in a turmoil of political corruption.
Political corruption should be recognized in a democracy only as a Frankenstein monster and most certainly should never be considered as a political question but from its present status it seems likely that such will be the issue.
Eiffel Tower Leap Is Fatal—Headline. From all we heard about how old and settled the tower is, we didn't think it would try such foolish stunts.
The prince of Wales has fallen off anther horse. After a year of abstaining from his rather peculiar form of diversion, he fell from grace (Grace is not the horse's name) with a spectacular somersault, and now in the equine history of England there is another member of the Prince Pitchers' union.
THE PLAIN AND FANCY
By his democratic abandon in failing off everything from a polio pony to a jumper, His Royal Highness has increased the number of mounts who have seen royalty bite the dust in front of them until a few generations hence horses will be nodding wisely and there will be 'stories all over England about how Grandfather Throughbred policed the Prince of Wales in the middle of the royal fox hunt. There will doubleless then be a laurels for the plain and fancy go to the late jumper who assisted the Prince to a "seasonal fall."

CHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE:
Under the heading, "Oh, We Used To That," Kansas Notes reprints our apology for having failed to give credit for the reprint matter in our editorial, "Parentia, Newsspapers and Youth." What gets us is that Kansas Notes didn't reprint the editorial. We were proud of that editorial. We certainly did skim the Star in it. We sort of hoped some of us would make the editorial staff of the Star next June on the strength of it.
Plain Tales From the Hill
We're sorry you didn't like it.
“Our new club is about the dumbest one,” the Kansan Editor announced disgustedly. “I told him to get out and chase down some plain tales from three authors, and a dog and naked one whether I wanted the tails on or off.”
Students now are asking "Will the Prof., ask exam questions covering the companionate marriage lectures they have delivered to their classes?"
It was Tuesday afternoon—two women, one a Gamma Phi pledge; the other a one-time pledge at another sorority, were talking. The one-time pledge asked, "what time are you coming home tonight?"
In an Editing I class headlines were being discussed. The professor had asked a student in the class to give an example of the usage of a streamer head and a layout or spread. He received this answer. "If a Trans-Atlantic flier flew clear across the ocean, the streamer head, but if the flier drops into the ocean, he should be given a layout."
First Kansan copyender: In what department in Secretary Work? Second Kansan copyreader: Department of Labor.
"Oh," answered her companion,
"so enough to get dressed, we're
all going over to the P(ee) U(oo)
home."
A freshman upon inquiry was informed that the R, O, T, G. was not going out for terms "on mansus" but were really wearing the fair weather prowers."
One of the "fellers" remarked the other day that if a cold snap didn't turn up pretty soon the bunch would have to sit on the porch while they burned the cigarette stubs and candy wrappers in the fireplace.
What the Editors Say
...
Training for Citizenship?
In his letter to the Star peermenter Mr. W. B, Henderson pointed to an apparent lack of training in citizenship in the schools and colleges and connected that condition with a firm public interest in government affairs.
It is a situation to which leaders in education have been giving considerable attention. Book knowledge on government is widely taught, but this has proved ineffective in stirring students to active citizenship in later life.
Can there be cultivated habits and attitudes on the part of young people that will lead them to an active and positive citizenship? An increasing number of educators believe it possible. They see that young people feel an action response to the more important of information and must include ways of making young people feel an actual response to it, which they can practice some of the duties of citizenship while in school. In Kansas City, for example, comprehensive schools pupils are enabled to participate in school government, through student council and other means. Schools, pupils are enabled to contact some contacts with local municipal government, and listen to speakers who are related to various phases of the school system. The work is being carried into the grade schools, where of course, it must be undertaken in a

and will feature vienna roast for tomorrow noon.
But the principal thing is to lead young people to think intelligently about government, a duty toward government which cannot be avoided. It is one of the big problems of education in America. It demands much more attention.

The Women BlabLed
There seems to have been a charming neighborhood navette in connection with the "recent big holdup which proved the eventual undoing of many of the girls' lives," and women were excited over the affair, and co-oustastic over its outcome.
Mrs. Catherine Cleaver told the police that a few hours after the robbery Mrs. William Donovan called the Cleaver home by telephone and expressed delight over the "big ban" that had been made. The police were also unhappy with wires and subsequence, uncovering of the gang quickly followed

We can picture Charley tearing his hair, and have a certain sympathy for him under the circumstances. For the woman sometimes will blah business secrets—and this was one of those times.
El Dorado Times
Men Only
Mr. Mascolini is certainly a dictator, and the wonder is how he continues to hold that job. He has started in to change the customs of the generation, and even to tell the women how to dress and behave. Recently the official Pascali paper became available to subject with the following paragraph;
Society must be cast in the male mold. It must be dominated and inspired by man. I will thus become more a matriarch than a battlerior. If man had run the court the past few years it would not have permitted women to cut their hair, break their ears, stockup, pretend to have warts where their hips should be, and paint themselves to resemble fake crests and pearls-matched false faces.
