CAPTAINS HILL AND BURTON
"Jip" Hill and "Zeke" Burton have chosen by their team-mates jointly to lead the Jayhawk basketball team in the season of 1928. They have been given a great honor, but they face an equally great task—of leading the crimson and blue to a seventh consecutive championship.
How much more precious the record becomes with each passing year! For more than a student generation Kansas has stood at the head of the Valley in basketball. And with this record it seems fitting that now, for the first time in history, the responsibility as well as the honor of the captaincy should be divided.
Captains Hill and Burton were well chosen. Liked by other members of the squad and players of sterling worth, they will give their best to the team whether the season is successful or disappointing.
AINT DISARMEMENT FUN? John Bull, Nippon Yippo and Uncle Sam are going to get together next June and figure out who has the most warships. Italy and France are now watchy watching Jugo Slavia and Germany to take time off to disarm, thank you, and the Scandinavian nations already are setting an example for the rest of the world; so if any more disarming is done, the big three will have to do it.
Scutting of a few paper warships is a beautiful feature and indicative of the spirit of the times, but disarmament is going to mean nothing until the peoples of the world lose their adrenal glands or pugnacious instinct or whatever it is makes man think he can better himself by the use of force upon other men.
The 5-5-3 ratio will loom wide in the headlines, and the talk will be of warships and gun elevations. Meanwhile the diplomatic under-cover men will be busy seeing that aircraft, submarines, tanks, gas, bacteria, and all the other weapons which will be used in the next war, are not mentioned.
If we really want to prevent war, we can take a step in that direction by providing exchange scholarships between the universities of the several nations; and there are other possibilities of the same sort. But so long as we "disarm" by watching the other fellow to see that he doesn't carry more six-shooters than we can hang on ourselves, war will be a force in this world.
OVERSTUDY
One of the crying needs of college students is a longer day. If the twenty-four hours could be expanded to about thirty, we would have time to fulfill the curricular requirements along with our necessary activities, such as sleeping, loafing, and reading for pleasure. The first politician who makes the thirty-hour day his campaign issue will win the unanimous support of students.
Standards in education have risen to the point where students who desire to execute their assignments faithfully are in danger of developing the encyclopedic mind constipated with half digested facts. Those who are interested in the highest type of self-development owe it to themselves
n neglect at least two thirds of their curricular work, and to do the other third only when it is convenient. The fifteen hour schedule in too heavy. It allows a student no time for expanding his intellectual horizon. Overcomphesis on studies allures students from the world outside the campus. Over-development in one line means a sacrifice in another. It is the fault of the system that students are indifferent to important world events. We are made hip-sided, and the world ponies on our neck for developing the don't-give-a-dumme frame of mind.
GOOD NEWS FOR SWIMMERS
That the people of Lawrence are at last to have the opportunity of enjoying their own local swimming pool seems now extremely probable. Tonight the city commission will vote on the proposition as presented by a private company and it is hoped that the project will be favorably decided upon.
Lawrence long has needed its own swimming pool. For many years Potter lake and the river have been the only conveniently close swimming places. The former is almost out of the question, for it is not uniquely and exceedingly small. The river, on the other hand, is dangerous and there is no place in it where bathers may have ever the advantages of some sort of beach.
But at last Lawrence may have the benefits which the possession of a local swimming pool bring. Smaller cities have found that such projects have been highly advantageous. There is no reason why the city commission should not set the stamp of its approval upon the plan.
SHALL THE PACIFIC RE MAIN SO?
China, India, the Philippines, Latin America—these are the seats of the international crises today. No more history-making events have occurred since the World War than those now happening in China.
It is hard for the world to realize when great historical events are occurring; yet the vast country of the yellow man is in the process of becoming a nation; and the Occidental man is setting in the Orient. India as present is negligent, but if China succeeds in becoming a self-determining nationality, this other danger zone of Asia is bound to attempt the cause with the probability that the British Empire of the East will practically disappear, and the white ran will dominate his own world only.
When not only three countries are greatly altering relations in the Pacific, but the Philippines are crying for independence and American prestige below the Rio Grande is falling into extinction, it is a commendable attempt at understanding which is being made by the Y. M. C. A, the Y. W. C, A, and the Commodity Club of eastern Kansas, through the Pan-Pacific conference which opens here tonight.
Charles F. Scott, editor of the Iola Register and president of the University of Kansas alumni association, who has recently traveled through the Orient; and Alva W. Taylor, organizer of a good-will mission to Mexico last summer and nationally-known social worker, will construct a background for later study by presenting tonight two different views of the international situation in the Pacific area. The other speakers will be no less valuable in promoting an understanding between the American and foreign student delegates at the conference.
It is a hopeful sign for international peace when students of varied nationalities meet with a sincere desire for an intelligent understanding of the inter-relations of their respective countries.
YOUTH'S ROMANCES
When boys and girls get together are bound to be love affair springing up, says Henry Allen. Therefore he is doubtful about having women on his next floating university.
These affairs, he says, are a weakness of nearly all e-counseling institutions, floating or non-floating. He therefore fears that the opportunity of moonlight strolls on the decks of his university will seriously affect the scholastic desires of his students.
Contemporaries have suggested a
There will be an ntl-University conversation on Monday, March 14, at 10 a.m. in Robinson gymnasium, Mr. Norman Thomas, of New York University, for the discussion.

remedy for preventing such amourous tendencies by leaving all barbers and beauty nurse assistants at home.

This use of color, this jazzing up of architecture, will break up the monotony upon most buildings through the necessity of mechanics in modern design. Red, yellow and green buildings, or even buildings in which the focal point is a colored mass, would give up the gray, drab, charcoal effect of New York as it is today. One architect had great stress upon the psychological effect that bright buildings would have upon the ordinary person. The introduction of horizontal color bands, will go far toward modifying the apparent heights of buildings.
other is questionable. But, when we consider all the shipwreck and desert island romances which are supposed to occur, it seems not so impossible. Perhaps the standards of beauty would be so changed that he with the greatest amount of stubble would be considered the most handsome. Or she with the greatest glow on her nose would be acclaimed the most pulchrithadious.
At any rate, some solution would be found by modern youth. If the worst comes, and the women were all left at home, there would still be the possible affairs with the dainty little foreigners met on occasional shore leaves. Youth must and will have its romance.
Colored buildings will tower in their polychromatic way, starting the man in the street with their blues, their reds and golds. From vantage points, figures of mythological men and women, imaginative creations of the artists, will hang precariously, looking down with contempt upon the drab and weary humans crowding the avenues below. This seems a certainty, for color is the predominant feature of the current Exposition of Architecture and Allied Arts which was recently at the Grant Central Palace in New York City.
COLORED BUILDING ERA
Color in architecture, of course, is not a new thing. Previews to the Renaissance nearly all exterior designs were colorful. Yet there is little trace of this left today, because most pigments are perishable. Leon Solon, noted polychromatic designer, said in his address before the Exposition, that it is not the intention of the modern architects to have the buildings futuristic conglomerations of dashing by concentrated color. Rather, he pointed out, the tendency will be to color the trimmings only, as much as the Greeks were wont to do.
Plain Tales From the Hill

F. R. Iassas of the department of psychology explained to his class the other day that he hoped that after the study of blood, no one would deform it in a quit as "something dirty that runs around under the skin."
Moody in his book on "Getting The News" says, "a reporter should practice speed and hurry so that in a case where he will be able to meet the occasion."
If you see some Reporting II students running up and down the sidewalk, do not question their integrity, they are merely practicing so that will be able to harry to the scene of a story it over the occasion arises.

DUM: My dear, I have made a most wonderful discovery!
DORA: And may I ask what it might be this time?
DUM: Well, Innes' are showing a new line of glove silk vests and bloomers called Bethelehem and that clerk down there talked me into buying an outfit the other day.
DORA: Well, what has that to do with your discovery?
DUM: Just this, smarty, that they're just the best looking things you ever saw and they are not at all expensive. The vest is $1.75 and the bloomers $2.50 making the whole outfit only $4.25.
DORA: Well, old dear, I guess you are not so dumb,
that $4.25 for the whole outfit sure sounds good to
a poor college girl!
