IN MEMORIAM
Gone are the days when sweaty athletes will make noseives into the lips of gay sorority women and when muddy water will滴 from dangling feet above to the heads of basketball fans below. No longer will the owners of the Valley be required to humble themselves before a home crowd merely because the basketball court is too narrow for the great "crow-court" game that is played at Kansas.
Robinson gymnastium has passed from its zenith of glory. It has seen its happiest days. In the future, the evening cheers of enthusiastic thousands will resound from the new auditorium; and Robinson will stand by in neglect and in darkness.
How glorious have been your last six years, O Robinson! Prowl should you be to have honored the new twice-trice champions of the Valley. And when many years have passed by, and when we, the alumni of the University, return to the camps we will cast our eyes affectionately at your yellow walls and point you out to the students saying, "Yes, that oblature has been condemned since 1950, but 'way back in the twenties, it was some happy, happy days. Six straight championships! Yes, sir—six straight!"
the "blue hawk" that are being enforced in South Carolina provide that no one shall purchase gasoline except in case of emergency. That's all right. Who ever heard of any purchasing gasoline except in case of emergency, anyway?
MODERN METHODS IN THE CHURCH
One Kansas City church gave special invitations to Ford dealers and employees to hear a sermon by the manager of the Ford plant there. Another church across the street, improving the idea, planned a similar day for Chevrolet people in the city. Amusement was made that dealers and employees of the rival motor cars would compete for highest attendance and parade after services, perhaps in their rival motor cars.
All would have been well had not the Ford manager decided that the contest would commercialize religion and therefore refused to preach in the contest.
Kansas City churches seem to have taken a few pointers from the automobile show, but at the same time they are passing up a number of good ideas. Much enthusiasm could be stirred up if a numbered ticket were given for each donation to the collection and a drawing held occasionally with a new Buck as a prize for the holder of the lucky number.
Many churches have rooms which are not used and which might profitably be converted into automobile show rooms where the busy business man could look over the new models before and after the sermon. Sunday school papers are missing a great opportunity in failing to maintain a question and answer column to take care of the mechanical problems of the congregation.
Since the average automobile seat is more comfortable than a church pew, why would it not be adveniable to
equip the church benches with cushions, adjustable pads, and perhaps a wheel for the hands to rest upon? A few gauges and switches on the back of the berch in front would make church goers feel at home.
"Hoch Praises Rail Plan," says a head. A case of "Hoch der rail plan," in other words.
CONCERNING A POSTER
There are times when even students are thoughtless of others. This carelessness is most noticeable in their habit of taking for their own, everything that attracts them, whether they have a right to it or not. According to the morals of this cheaper type of student, he is not a thief, but merely collegiate. Others who have not his breadth of view may see nothing that is not smallness and meanness in such conduct.
No so long ago, a framed picture, "The Call of Kansas," disappeared from the woman's rest room in Central Administration building. More recently, visitors noticed that one of the satin slippers was missing from the foot of Carmen, the dancing doll, in the Spooner-Thayer museum, and that a tiny pair of spectacles had been taken from another doll.
The latest offense of this sort occurred last week when a large poster describing Matronia, the Roman mother's day, and bearing a black and white print of the head of the goddess Juno, was taken from the bulletin board belonging to the department of Latin and Greek.
Probably the person who took the poster did not realize that it was personal property; that the print, although not expensive or intrinsically valuable, was from Italy, and could not be duplicated in this count; and that his carless act broke a set of posters.
Perhaps it was taken by mistaken, or merely borrowed. The only way to demonstrate that it was not common thievery it to return the misplaced articles.
YOUTH IS NOT ALWAYS FLAMING
Jennie Gencio, 18, a Chicago stenographer before a circuit judge contended that she was of age and had a right to live her own life. She said she was employed in a lawyer's office and her parents insisted on visiting her there and collecting her wages. She obtained an injunction restraining her parents from interfering with her life, and the news of the day made statement, that "a flapper, who said she never had a chance to flap because her parents clipped her wings, established precedent for flaming youth, in so doing."
The "flaming" idea has been overdone. Always when youth asserts itself in even the most innocent manner imaginable and even in regard to personal and private rights, there are those who are ready to call it "flaming" or incorrigible, or overassertive. Youth may be somewhat dynamic, but it does have ideals. It may be somewhat reviving but it also has ambition and self respect. And when it asserts itself in self-respecting manner it might be just as well for people with "flaming" imagination to save their epithets for them.
Roger Whitmore gave a program of favorites last night which ranged from the great "Praeludium and Allegro" to the quiet "Chanon Meditation." In this book, he appreciated the numbers, with brilliance and with a full rich tone. These qualities obtained for him an enthusiastic response from the audience, which no doubt was added by the familiarity of the program itself.
At the Concert BY JOHN SHIVELY
He was materially aidd by his accompanist, Leslie Jolliff, who made one of the major contributions to the program with his brilliant rendition of Dahanyi's "Rhapody in C major." The statety "Praeludium" working into the brilliant "Allogry" was an exquisite work. The "Concerto in D Minor" was lovely, especially the "Romance" movement.
The second group was made up of shorter numbers which showed the versatility of the violinist at its best. The excellent use of the harmonics

was particularly noticed in Kremlin's transcription of Chaminade's beautiful "Sorceress Egnapoli." The "Hopkut" was an enticing dance. The last group was the shortest, with 40 seconds of transcription of Mendelsson's "On Wings of Song" and Kremlin's Tambourin Chinois" were in excellent contrast, and served to keep interest in the program to the end. Mr. Whitmore recited the chorus from his corps, of which "Ave Maris" was particularly well played.
Editorials From Other Hills
Siwash Singing
Home State Student
Did you ever read any of Rabb Henry Barron's stories of college life at "Varleyd," any of Ralph D. Paine's tales of "tah rab adventure," or perhaps laughed through "At Good Old Swain?" These are probably the most popular authors and books of "college life" of the 1950s, an amazing appetite by the pre-high school book worm. If you don't happen to have read these or any similar books, you have probably been witness to the screen version of "college life" as it was presented so often and so chaundily last fall. Do you recall how in both the books and the movies music took such an important part in the story? Music was pictured as emanating from a group of college men strolling down the street with arms long and mouths open, giving vent to a college song. At other times you would see the hose drapes picturesquely around a plane shouting out the words to "Hurry for Dear Hike." The hoses will all play the harmonies sing-firing sweetheart songs, sweetheart saisons as they floated down the river in a canoe. Music dipped from every chapter and reel.
How soon the college freshman is illusioned. Men don't stroll across
the campus singing "Alma Mater" (in fact few know it). The fraternity house pinch has its keys response to the president's call for You Belong to Me, more often than to "State College of Iowa." And most co-eds will sooner spend their time dancing than listening to their swaints warble the questionably sweet strains of the song.
It's rather hard on the boy who has nurtured such touching musical visions of colleges to be so shiflissumed. Not for his sake, but just for a more distinctively college atmosphere, don't you sometimes wish there was more of Siwach singing in college?
Studying the Past; Ignoring the Present
A few days ago a professor on the Coe campus discovered to his astonishment that a certain class was almost totally ignorant about the trouble down in Nicaragua. A few students had beard vaugely about it—they had perhaps seen the word in a banner headline. But as to the issues of American interest, "ruff Russians" and what not—they knew as little about those things as it was possible to know.
In other words, this nation can approach perilously near a state of war (this is not an exaggeration) and coliseum. We can be unlucky to unaware of the fact.
The theory of education seems to be as follows: It is all right for students to study Roman imperialism, but not foreign affairs. Romans can about the ancient Hebrews, Romans, Gauls and Goths but nothing about modern Europeans, Chinese, Americans, Central Americans, and Indians. Romans dominate in importance about the present.
We can help you finance that fraternity loan.
Colleges, they tell us, exist for the purpose of turning out leaders. If that is the case, may the Lord have money on those who are to be led.

Extension of the Northwestern University campus a half-mile into what is now Lake Michigan, is suggested in a plan for the enlargement of the university campus. The authorizes, *Special breakers* would have to be constructed to check the string current which has been eating away the shore. Transportation of millions of cubic yards of earth would be filled in by block units.

You Do Not Have To Go To Paris For Smart Fashions

All she needs to do, in fact, is to step into our store. Here she will find not only scores of copies of leading French fashions, but in many cases the originals themselves fresh from the couturiers' hands.
