FEMININE METAMORPHOSIS
After the passing of the vernal equinox on March 21, the general array of color that marches up Mount Oread each morning grows gaudier and more resplendent. This, in all probability, is not due to the passing of the peculiar point in the sky that astronomers are wont to call the vernal equinox.
Although the very nature of the word vernal suggests color, it has never been discovered whether the point was named after that well known proclivity of the weaker sex to adopt exhilarating costumes at that time of the year or whether the exhilarating costumes were named after the vernal equinox. Such trivial things have never entered the minds of the deeper thinkers of the scientific world.
The fact remains, however, that at no time of the year is the woman's annual more rife with beautiful color or riotous effect. Dame Fashion is a close follower of the seasons. Many fortunes have been made on the strength of the argument that a new costume is needed for each change of weather. The style of the dress does not, in most cases, conform to the climatic change.
Mount Oread men, like most others, are not content unless they have attained complete mastery over their fellow-women in style. Is it not natural then that more man should gaze askance at the latest innovations that are wafted Hillward by the winds of Fashion?
But after all they aren't so bad, says mere man.
"Lost—A small brown jersey between West Ad and Green Hall. Return to Kansan office." Several students have been out on the campus today looking for the cow.
THE "NEW WORLD"
Just because the University of Kansas is only one of the many factors necessary to the success of the World Outlook campaign is no reason why it cannot accomplish great things in furthering the Inter-Church World Movement. According to Dr. D. W. Kurtz, president of McPherson College, the campaign needs leadership that is responsible, efficient, keen, intelligent and reasonable; and college students must supply this need.
Kansas should not fail to send her share of the quota of the one-hundred thousand leaders which are called from the colleges and universities within the next five years. This call for leaders does not mean simply leaders in church affairs alone, but leaders in all of the world industries which are facing the problems of reconstruction. However, as Doctor Kurtz pointed out,
he churches are the only great concern which have organized to obtain liberty, co-operation and security; and the greatest work in building the "new world" can be accomplished by men and women who are willing to work for the goal of democracy.
But, whether the young men and women are to serve directly under the efforts of the thirty denominational churches, which have united, or whether they serve in some other form of leadership, does not count as much as the fact that they should serve intelligence, honesty and unselfishly in whatever line they undertake.
Let the men and women of the University listen to the pleas of such men as Dr. Kurtz and Dr. Allyn Foster, who realize the great problems the world is facing, and fit themselves to answer the call for minds and bodies which are capable of repeating the world.
While engaged in a heated argument, the clothing of George Brown, Cape Town member of parliament, burst into flame. Senators and others similarly included should take warning even though Mr. Brown explains he was carrying matches in the pocket of a suit which had been cleaned with vaphtha.
FOOLS THAT ARE
The world has been called a stage and the people thereon classified and e-classified as players. To carry his analogy further the players may be called burlesquers, and the play, or the most part, a farce.
April Fool's Day is the most evident demonstration of the foolish proclivities that make up such a large part of our cosmos. This date, dedicated as it is to the "come-on" and "sucker" tendencies of man, is especially valuable to the race in showing to even the most self-reverent and conceived the extent of their own foolishness and capability for enjoying fun and horse-play.
All days are April Fool's Day to the person with a sense of humor. To some people this would not be an inducement to attempt to acquire such a sense, but such people would be unable to acquire a humorous consciousness anyway.
Every act of every person, viewed from certain angles and viewpoints is ludicrous, ridiculous, and humorous. The viewpoint is all that makes humor. The more viewpoint that man acquires, the more kinds of humor we know, and the more subtle becomes out appreciation of humor.
Let us encourage, all kinds of humor, and make, in enjoyment at least, every day of the three hundred and sixty-five A Fools Day, for only a fool can properly enjoy his unenlightened state.
So Germany's ex-kaiser is to remain in Holland as an attrition for tourists. Perhaps William would find traveling with a circus more remunerative as an occupation than chopping wood or taking walks and certainly it would be more diverting to an overburdened mind.
Do you not count it a big part of your education to travel to the big cities and take in works of art that are gathered together? Preserved for us today, not in the museum of some far off city, but in the east wing of our own Administration Building, is a collection made by Mrs. W, B. Thayer of one of the first fruits of American art.
WOVEN DRAMAS
Her rugs which have recently been on exhibit, are now replaced by a collection of hand-woven coverlets, samplers, and tapestry embroideries. The coverlets are of naturalistic and formal designs. Many of the former represent floral scenes while the latter are aptly described by their titles, some of which are "The Drunkard's Path," "Goose Flight," "Bear's Paw," and "Rose Bud."
A squaw's shawl of aplique work shows the American Indian's progress in the art while from Persia, Holland, England, Spain and Guatemala there are collections which show the efforts of other peoples.
Love of the beautiful and man's desire to preserve for future pleasure the daily beauty that surrounded him caused weaving to become an art of the prehistoric ages. We catch a
glimmer of the hotep of the art" when Homer clothes Ulysses in "a robe of military purple," into which Penelope has woven a hunting scene where.
in the rich woof a hound, Mosaic drawn.
Bore on, full-stretch, and seized a darnled fawn.'
In addition to the material which Mrs. Thayer has in her regular exhibit there are many valuable pieces which have been loaned by Lawrence women. This work is open to the public during April.
Campus Opinion
Communications Must be Signed
The Daily Kanan, ans received a communication signed "Improverished Instructor." If the writer will send in his name, the communication will be printed. This is not desired for publication but as an evidence of good faith...Editor.
Apparently someone is making some good money off of the seniors, in the rental of the caps and gowns. The seniors are paying our dollars to rent their graduation robes, which we buy for them away, away, the seniors have to pay only one dollar and fifty cents to rent their caps and gowns for the entire week. The seniors do not care about being held up and robbed. Surely seven miles by railroad does not make a difference of ¢2.50 on the H. C. L. of caps and gowns.
