FRIDAY, MAY 13, 1927 AFTER THE SHOW The benefit show is over, but the great floods in Mississippi and their results have just barely begun. With a clearance of about 300 dollars, the show managers feel as though it was a fair success, but not nearly as great a success as was expected. There are many who the Kansan wishes to thank and among those ere the Jay Janes, those who acted on the stage, and those who worked in other departments to help put the thing across. To show the spirit of the actors and most of those whose efforts put it over, many not only bought tickets but also gave much time to make the success. They realized that it was not the show that counted, but the purpose for which it was presented. Many tickets were sold to those who did not attend, which left room for others. The show itself was a huge success as far as the numbers on the program were concerned. The whole show was neat, clean lavender, far above the average. For those who attended it was well worth the price of admission as many have attested since. Even though the show has been given and a little money netted therefrom, this is no sign that the situation is well in hand, for it still rains and the wind doth blow at a mighty rate. If those who did not attend the show still feel as though they would like to contribute something to the fund, they can leave their contributions at the Kansas business office. Secretary Jardine believes that the only way to get rid of the McNairy-Huagen bill is to drown it in the whent pool. PAVING THE WAY Education in Missouri is facing a crisis. This information comes not from a publicity report nor from the inside columns of a newspaper. It comes from President Brooks of the University of Missouri in an interview printed on the front page of a Kansas City paper, together with the report of a western Kansas murder trial, concern over the French fliers and one or two other things of equal importance. We can sympathize with Missouri, Education in Kansas is facing a crisis. It is always facing a crisis, especially at those critical moments when the state legislature considers its demands and gives it a general panning. At other times it is always in danger of offending its two million patrons in Kansas. President Brooks neglects one thing, however. Missouri is building roads, and in order to do this, it has put its self in debt. These roads must be built, and if the expense is too much to give education a fair chance, education will have to suffer. Besides what good will an education do, anyway, until the propriona graduates have good roads in which to drive their high-powered motor-cars. What good will it do to finish the road building and provide more lawyers for Missouri until they can have easy riding? No, really. President Brooks is very short-sided. Missouri is going to pave the way for education before it educates. THE COMING MASSACRE What happens after graduation to those students who just "get by" in college? This question is timely now when so many seniors with a personal interest are pondering over the matter. They are beginning to wonder if Phi Beta Kappa keys increase the pay check or if D's on a manuscript mean a rough road ahead. It can be observed that students most prominent in campus activities are neither all A students nor D students—that the well-known names on the Hill draw down various portions of the alphabet in the form of grades. The forcerious world will be turned loose against 850 brand new, harmless and well-meaning graduates from Mount Oread. Will the result of the massacre be governed by grade points earned during the past four years? Frankly, we do not know, but it won't be long now! With the coming of spring, the soft breezes and warm sunshine come also the usual long wailing of seniors without jobs. THE MAINE STREET ENTRANCE Few people over hear of the Maine Street entrance which cuts across the campus, but despite the fact that it is obscure and inadequate, one exists; one which in fair weather is used by a large number of student pedestrians. In fact, it is used so much that during winter weather, the building and grounds division has run the snow plow over it to enable students to use it. But, even then, it is little more than a fair-wetter entrance. It is just a dirt path, and, like all dirt paths, it becomes muddy in rainy weather. If there has been much rainfall there are places along it which remain snoopy for several days, causing the pedestrian to exercise considerable care to keep his shoes dry, because he likes to save a long walk by using the short cut. Even in fair weather the student hesitates to use the path at night unless he is familiar with every bump, dip and hole in it. Changing this path to a gravel walk would mean a considerable saving of time to the large number of students living north and west of the stadium. When new approaches to the campus are being planned, this path should have great consideration, for much good can be rendered to a great number of people. At The Theater BY ELEANOR D. GRAFF The complete organization that is a University, and the individual co-operation that is symbolical of the spirit of American, united last night to make the Daily Kannan's Flood Relief Benefit Show an evening of the best entertainment that has been given in Lawrence for some time. There was "Hal" Adamson of "Jabbar!" who gave the show a running start with his jokes and dewlap. The cast of the Cosmopolitan Club drew repeated applause by their music and songs. One member of the quartet was additionally entertaining with his specimens of Filipino and American The entire idea of the flood relief (and with the benefit show as the keynote, was originated less than a week ago, and yet each act on the program was as finished as if it had been planned and worked up for months in advance. Many who attended the conference patriotism, left with the feeling that they had seen a decidedly first class vaudeville performance. The expressive beauty that is possible to the members of Tau Sigma was fully realized for the first time this year by a Lawrence audience. The setting of the Orpheum proved a more appropriate background for the exquisite interpretations of the dancers in both of their groups, and assisted the onlookers in appreciating the ability of the dancers. Members from both the Men's and Women's Glee Clubs took a turn at entertaining, and the now famous men's quartet was in the past. A women's quartet sang beautifully, and a clever number was given by a tricolored composed by Betty Trudall, Elizabeth Fryer, and Beulah Teter, in Japanese cos- As a matter of course the dramatic art department was called upon, and as a natural corollary they performed Will the persons that took the butterfly decorations from the Senior Cakewalk-Varsity Saturday, May 7, for "sooners!" please call Bill Immer at 2688 and tell him where they can be found.

Campus Opinion I would like to take the liberty o saying that people who are imbue with the militaristic spirit would not be so nugounacious if they were in a war hospital today with a leg off, one lung collapsed, and an ear missing. Yet that is the condition, more or less, that many an educator has said the word "militacist" has changed its meaning. Yes, but it has been men who have the militaristic attitude that have corrupted the meaning of the F. B. DAINS, Acting Dean of Graduate School First of all I would like to say that I am not a "knocker" of the R. O, T. C, and that I hope they succeed in getting their distinguished rating, that if a person wants to take R. O, T. C, work with me. But I do want to take issue with Dr. W. L, Burick's remarks in Wednesday's Kanan. JAY JANES: This sounds like an indefinite list of Hill talent. But the two and a half hours of entertainment passed nil till they were back to a program well good, over bit of it. All tickets and money for flood relief must be checked in not later than Monday noon, at the business office of Journalism building. Editor Daily Kansan: BETA CHI SIGMA; Everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion and gave their host, from Elden Ryerson who managed the show, to Glen W. Dickerson who donated the Orpheum theater for it. Plans for the show were made though by students. Such manifestations of public-mindedness should restore faith to those who lie awake niggers rights about the younger generation. MORNA ZELL WAGSTAFF liberally and expertly. An amusing one-act play, "Noble Lord," was well noted by Ethel Hinds, Ray Pippin, and George Martin, and a unique play, "The Tragedy of Brown," having one act, eight scores of eight short plays. Dorothy Taylor as the one character, and Marvel Schumann as the announcer. One marveled at the similarity of Marvel Schumann's acting and voice to that of Prof. Robert Calderwood, and also at the lightening changes of censure made by Dorothy Taylor as a gardener, who was garbled differently in each scene. The popular professors, Crafton and Calderwood, made the vaudeville complete with their version of a miniature, Mr. Crafton was a new person as a black face actor. The usual jokes were bundled about, and Mr. Crafton exhibited his heretofore unknown vocal ability, Crafton and Calderwood make a clever tome, and they absorbed all the information they receive at the close of their act. At the next meeting on May 16, Dean Frank T. Stoffendorf of the School of Business will lead the discussion on the tabulae in chapter 52 of "Business Strategy." GARNET, President Verson Nahave gave a pleasing song recital last night. He did not attempt anything heavy, nor anything demanding great technical demands, but presented a recital that is suitable for a vocal student, one which is simple, but which allows great opportunity for expression. Ben Turpin and Jimmy Patterson, who come near to being as good as any professional commodities, were obligingly humorous again for the benefit of the flood sufferers, and Georgia Cassidy was as gracious with her "Songs with Piano," as war Nadine Long with her "blues." --term. The day was, and still is, that to sensible people the word pacifist applies to nearly two million people who die in conflict with their country; a example of this nation. Raymond Lawrence assisted on the piano, and, as usual, showed his superb brilliance and musicianship. The first two groups showed the lyric sweetness of Noah's voice to good advantage. The tenor showed his ability to portray the dreamy quality of several of the songs. In the last group, however, there was a wider range of expression. Hare Noah showed that he has trained tone and transmitted his appreciation of dramatic vocal works to the nu- I believe that the majority of instructors on this Hill will bear me out when I say that a loyal American citizen does not want to leave. And it is led to believe it is for some ideal. The American people are all pacifists until the "bair guns" and the militants insist them to action by feeding them. I consider myself a loyal American citizen, claiming allegiance to no flag but our own, and I am a pussief. But I'm just like millions of other true Americans who won't support a war of aggression unless they are winked into it, but who will gladly take up arms on a threat of in- It seems to me that any person who had had the advantages of a university training would be opposed to war (except in defence) if he has overdone himself with militaries or with militarists to point out where the mass of the people get any benefit out of wars except those few laws which have been waged against the expression of despotic rulers and those for gaining freedom Every instructor on this Hill who has given the matter any thought knows that the great majority of nurses have been trained to but to reach out and grab more territory, to get more power for the big boys. Nations are just the individuals—we get a dollar bigger than we get the larger bigger they get the more they want. And it is that attitude that the pacifist is fighting and I'll go the militarian one better and say that any common person (as distinguished from the capitalist) supporting a program that advocates American invasion of a foreign country is not only ignorant but a fool,—L. R. F. Editor Daily Kansan: Last year at this same season the Kanman printed a similar attack. The reason is hard to comprehend. If the Kanman expects to discourage men from entering selling this summer it can hope to accomplish little because the bulk of the men who intend to do this work have already controlled the sales and disregard the profession of selling it is worryly making itself ridiculous. Now that the Kannan has got its annual big pop-out off of its system, it can probably subside and get back to fact. It is clear that together we unite extrinsic elitism aimed at those of us who represent the profession of salesmanship on the campus which appeared in the Kannan last night under the title "Gamers." As a matter of fact the editorial department depends upon selling to such an extent that it should not be the first to cut off this limb on which it sits, and take a flop. Without advertising, which is selling in print, the Kanana or any other newspaper would go on the junk heap in a week. In the first place, a man will get just such compensation as the Kansan ERNST & SON mentions for hard, honest work. I can point out dozens of America's leading men who started in selling work. One man whom I know personally worked up in five years to a salary of $10,000 a year. He has now bought a newspaper and will be able to write clever editorials, too. A complete line of Tennis Supplies, Baseball Supplies, Horse shoes In the next place, a man gains self-confidence and reliance in selling that fit it to be a leader in his later life. He will be able to assume responsibility. He probably will not be found on the student council as a result of a popularity contest, but where there is real commitment to be done, he can be relied upon. It is strangely out of line with the Kansan's finally worded policy of helping the students get better wages to knock the main source of income of many working students. They are often able to stay in school and earn wages in Lawrence only because of money saved during a summer of selling. Earl E.
