FROM BACH A LITTLE
ment on Journalism.
Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1997.
Only those who have had their homes swept from their land, their livestock, property and their fields devastated and their subsumed in raging, swirling waters—only these can appreciate the suffering and the havoc which the Mississippi floods have wrought.
Immediate relief for these unfortunate people is imperative; and no matter how generously the more fortunate may respond this inestimable damage can never be compensated. It can only be relieved. The relief benefit program being staged tonight at the Orgheim theater does not ask that University students; suffer with the sufferers; the program is highly entertaining. But the primary objective must be kept in mind: not entertainment, but relief for the flood-ravaged peoples of the Mississippi valley.
There are times in life when giving unstintingly is the greatest virtue and this is one of those occasions.
MODERN ADVENTURE
Why send the navy to China when it is so badly needed in Arkansas and neighboring Mississippi River Valley states?
Two French aviators, spurred by love of adventure, love of France, and probably by a desire to win a $25,000 price, left Paris Sunday morning and vanished into the mists of the Atlantic ocean, hoping to be the first to fly from continent to continent in one jump. Now the world knows they have failed, but the world does not know whether the missing airmen are afloat in their White Bird on the Atlantic, lost in the wilds of Newfoundland, or whether their great adventure has ended in death.
Regardless of the mystery surrounding the fate of the French fliers, no less than three American expeditions are continuing preparations to try the long jump, the first planning to start Saturday. It seems almost a two to one chance that next week the newspapers will be carrying stories about these two men, similar to those we read of Captains Nungesser and Coli today.
We need not read medieval stories to find accounts of courage and daring. Every newspaper in the country this week has told the story of Numresser and Coll and now that the fent has been attempted, modern airmen will not cease trying until the Atlantic flight has been successful.
"We loose that school-girl bloom of youth," ran a sentence in a Kauan editorial. That's interesting. Usually "that school-girl bloom of youth" is pretty hard to rub off.
LONGER LIBRARY EVENINGS
Bang! Bang! Bang! Down slim the windows and out go the lights. There is nothing to do but pile out of the library, even though lessons are only half-way completed.
There was once a day when the library closed at 10 o'clock. Even that hour was too early for the average student to be willing to close his books. But now it is still worse. Promptly at 9:45, students must stop.
Most students are unable to get to the library before 8 o'clock. More than two hours are needed to complete an assignment of the usual length in outside reading. Under the present arrangement, ample time is not allowed.
If the library could remain open until 10:30 or later, it would be of much
more value to students. Plenty of
more air is allowed, absolute quiet is
maintained, and inspiration is gained
from the silent comradeship of other
learning-seekers. But there is one
disadvantage in having less than two
hours to study when we could stay in
our rooms at the rooming house—
took, dark, and smoke though they
may be—and spend a needed three
hours or more on our books.
Let's keep the library open until 10:30 or later. The women will find that it is no darker at that hour than at 9:45. The employees would be willing to accept a slightly larger salary for staying until a later hour. Final quizzes will show better results. And everybody will be more satisfied.
If this is the "age of new Spreadem for women" why keep heaping the blame continually on the men?
Another childhood illusion shattered! After years of learning that Kentucky reels the world's best bluegrass, the Kansas City Star breaks out with the headline, "Kentucky Grass in Green."
"ARE YOU A MAN?"
"Do you want to make a lot of money this summer?" Do you want to pay you way through school by working a few weeks in the summer vacation? Listen! If you've got the determination to win and to be a success, if you are a man, you can have $600.00 guaranteed for the summer's work, and if you are energetic you can easily make several times that amount.
"Go through college on easy街. You don't have to spend your best college hours fireing furnaces and waiting tables to pay your way through school. If you are a man and want lucrative and enjoyable employment this summer, just look up "Big Hearted Jim" Blouse, our college representative, down at the hotel, and let him tell you all about our plan we help industrious students."
The student who is tared by this compelling hiatus, as many are at this time of year, meets to the hotel with high hopes to meet "Big Heart Jim." This philanthropic gentleman has a pleasant voice and manner and a line that has become perfect after hundreds of rehearsals. He tells the student all about his plan to send out a select few of the promising young men from the university to introduce to the people a new and different product that nobody can afford to be without.
It may be a patent carburator which will make the old family Ford elk pinch Pike's Penk on high without gasoline; it may be a book that contains the equivulent of a college education and will tell the owner how many toothpicks could be made from all the wooden logs in the country and how to make a million dollars by properly investing a two-count postage stamp; it may be an aluminum diaphane, a never-full fountain pen, the only reliable map in the world, or a Bible made by Saint Peter himself.
No matter what the indispensable product may be, it is something that everybody ought to have. "Big Hearted Jim" displays the records of last years workers. One of the fellows made $700, another cleaned up $85 plus a Ford car, and the champion of the season made exactly $2,972 in ten weeks.
Of course it's a square deal because you can't lose. You have the $400 guarantee. The student signs the contract for an exclusive territory in the most prosperous section of the whole nation, and he is a happy man. That is, he is happy till he gets out on the job and finds that nobody wants what he has to sell, that the neighborhood has been canvassed till all solicitors and agents are despised. Then as he becomes disillusioned, he goes to a lawyer with his contract, and the lawyer shows him that the contract is worthless for it is punctured with holes. So it gres.
"Nane Is Injured In Accident On Fourteenth Street," writes one of our own headline experts. For the benefit of those not posted in the vernacular, so to speak, the following correction is offered: "They Wasn't Nobody Hurt-"
The final meeting of the year, and election of officers for next years, will be held this Thursday, at 7:10, in room 2104, Watson Library. Several members of the board will attend.

At The Concert BY JOHN DRIVELY

As a whole the program was enjoy-
Although the program presented last night by the University Band was varied, it was a well-planned concert. From the brilliant opening measures, through to the belly to the dramatic climax in Tchaikovsky's "March Slave" each number included in natural succession. The numbers showed the able leadership of the band as well as its excellent co-operation from the organization. The concord was less noticeable, however, because of the unfamiliarity of the majority of the selections. The selections from the "Don Quixote" and "Sympathetic given and less vigorous than the first number. It was followed by Mr. McCanley" composition "Friends and Flowers," n melody studied played as a cornet solo by the
A harp solo "Gitanas" played by Miss Rachel Rushong was a refreshing contract to the heaviness of the remainder of the program.
The stirring overture, "Maxillum
Robespierre," was played dramatically
and interestingly. The climax came in
the expressive rendition of "March
Slave" in which the crescendos and
tone-color were well worked out.
