MONDAY, MAY 24, 1926 That the University needs a new hospital is undisputed. THE STATE'S DUTY Square and Compass at a special meeting Wednesday evening made plans for a campaign for the hospital. The president of the organization explained that they had been investigating, that they did not desire to interfere with the building program of the University, but that they felt that the hospital situation needed remedying. That would also express pretty well the Kaman's attitude toward the situation. The Kaman does not want to see the building program interfered with. it believes, however, that if the people of the state really knew the hospital conditions here they would be willing to have the appropriation made for the new building without taking anything from the regular program. At present all the protection given the health of the students is covered by the three dollars a semester fee which they pay. The state is doing nothing. Certainly it ought to be willing to construct the new hospital building over and above the regular building program, as its share toward the protection of the health of her students. A local fraternity man figures good thing for a man, on the basis that if he succeeds in living peacefully with 30 or 40 men while in school he ought to be able to get along with one woman after he's out of school. QUO VADIS? Vacation—What a multitude of things that little word can include. In less than two weeks now, vacation will be upon us. Familiar faces will be scattered to the north, south east and west, some in other states and possibly a few in foreign countries. To others vacation will mean a different thing. Perhaps it will mean a short visit home with dad and mother and the "old gang," and then off to some other point to work the rest of the summer. Monetary rewards may call them or they may be lured by the promise of valuable experience. Some will be on the sea coast, some in the mountains, to enjoy boating, tennis, golf, hiking, fishing, dancing and every conceivable form of recreation and amusement. Or again we may find our friend in his home town all summer, back at the "old job," struggling manfully to save a little money to come back to school next fall. And then a few will spend their summer in the shadows of the University, making up lost hours or gaining a few hours in the summer session. Yea, vacation time is almost here. With it will come happiness, sorrow regret, comedy and pathon. And then after three short months we shall be back—with some of us gone and with new faces among us to take their places. "Rich Should Obey Dry Law." Headline. It would be rich if the did. "Remedy Saves Pig Tail," says a headline. Of course swim, not girls is meant, for nothing can stop this run of short tresses. "The Big Parade," an American film production portraying America's World war spirit, didn't make a very big hit in London. FILM VANITY the film technique, the acting also the spectacular effects drew favourable comment, but the picture as a whole was condemned because no one would believe it (it of the part played by England) and France in the World war. London papers feel that the film carries the impression that American alone won the war. Conservative editors admit that the showing of such a film in Europe will do America no good. Others, less conservative, class it as "typical U. S. impedance." Their is are raised. One point stands out plainly: If American film producers expect their pictures to be accepted internationally they will have to take cognizance of the fact that America isn't the only continent on the globe. A "Hip, hip, hoo-ray, America won the war" film will get over big in the United States. We Americans are just epistolated and self-centered enough to neglect the fact that there were other countries whose sons and daughters bled and died more freely than ours. But it in either biography or narrow-mindedness to expect such a film to be popular in Europe. Perhaps it might be possible to show in Europe a picture portraying America's World war activities, to the exclusion of the activities of other countries, if there were at the beginning an examination of the physiological and psychological consequences adequately the activities of all countries. Appended also might well be a fitting word tribute to the other nations who took part. The Kansas City air pilot threw a dog out of his plane at an height of 1,000 feet might give us his alibi that he thought the dog, having then been given a life, would continue to walk, instead of returning to the earth. OUR OWN SCIENTISTS Year in and year out University students read stories in the leading daily papers by pseudo-scientists to the effect that the earth has slipped on its axis, an ice ape is due next year, a noundrime is coming in 1940, or that there is a race of super-men on Mars. At the same time there are recognized scientists here on our campus who are not attempting to get rich by selling fake stories to newspapers, but who could explain in 15 minutes the possibilities or improbabilities of such naive reports. A story in Sunday's Karen atten-ted to present Dr. Dinnamore Alten's reason for believing Marte to be a child. The story did not dispute the habitants' belief that gave some of the reasons why it is improbable. It was *very* interesting story; many papers would have been willing to pay $25 for it. There is much scientific work going on on this hill which is better news than most of the so-called scientific stories in the city dailies. If our high school orators on the "Constitution" who go to Washington for the finals were allowed to give their speeches in Congress the legislators would likely learn many things about the constitution they never knew before. One young fellow in whom we had particular interest came up to us yesterday, after he had been given third place in a certain non-athletic contest, and in seeming century, said "See what I've won!" Don't Lose Because You Didn We looked, and congratulated him and said nothing about the first place which he has lost. We had expected him to take first, of course; but there was no indication in his speech that he had not been judged fairly. Editorials from Other Hills "Why, I didn't expect to get a medal," he said to us. And some way we admired the boy, and not entirely through personal interest; for he didn't have a word to say against the first-place winner. (The O'Collinsian) There is a lot of wisdom in that verse about "When the final scorer comes to your name, He will not recorded who wan or lost but how you played the game," we have thought and we admire the boy and girl contractant who taken reverses grenucely, with the assistance of an inter-terrhobastic, too, we have noted. Good loosing will not win material victories if it is carried to the extreme with the intention of losing, with the intention of losing, but of winning; but if you are defended, take the defeat and plan a come-back next year. There is no excuse for though, there is just because you don't win. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Coye received at the Chancellor's Office until 12:00 a.m. NOTICE TO SENIORS; NOTICE TO UHUBS ...

We will ignore the pressure of populations now existing in the east, which are heavily indebted to a wide legacy of the United States' peace and prosperity. We will let the patriots take the government in accordance with the patriots' wonderful plan of peace, which we hope will fully by a few simple steps such as these, we may finally reach the realities. MAC DOWELL MEETING: As long as these bothersome huffs and whisperless concentrates an attention to the real harm is done. The men of the elite group who are not solid-conductive, they are not damn fools. These palpable pime for peace have gained their advantage over the pacifists, and in so doing they have performed some purpose, useful for real danger in the kindred insidious propaganda against national defence interests. The last meeting of the year will be held Tuesday evening, May 25, at 7:45, in the rest room of central administration building. There will be election of officers, and the faculty members of the club will present a program. FRANCES BROBINSON, President, Campus Opinion Patriotism is deceived and criticized, loyalty is pooch-poosed by those who have supported the anti-immigrant these qualities. There should be no objection to criticism of the institutions of this country, if the critics work without involving our nation in a suicidal experiment in the laboratory of the world's lusts and greed. There are a few things which might happen between the time we disarm world disarms, but we won't consider these, as they are of minor importance. We will apply simple little international problems and ignore international problems involving millions of people, and ignore the outward impact and social aspects of these problems. Editor Dolle Rangoni The United States has merely *strip herself of all armament* and show herself defenseless to the rest of the world, but will be immediately impressed with the splendid spirit of universal bravery. We should execute, and will do likewise. It is to be remembered, however, that we are to disarm first or the plan will Plain Tales From the Hill We have in our midst self-deliberated colossis of wisdom and sagacity. Great minds like to be different, express themselves by so being. These embryo internationalists, individuals, or whatever you may wish to call them, will make their own plan to be made a garden of roses in which the white-winged spirit of nature will thrive. The plan is very simple, as will soon become evident. All that we have to do is Two sweet young things were watching the baseball game. Said one: "Oh look at 'Snoop' catch that ball!" He explained: "I know how ball players carried flipper! A young college cake-eater was standing lifly watching a man make holes in the ground about three feet apart. Becoming curious he asked, --- A K, U. latter had tipped a tuff ball. A young male student in the bleachers exclaimed, "Oh foul," in answer to a question. "How dare you call him names," came indignantly from the fair maiden next him. "He's a perfectly sweet, fresh young man." Another baseball tale comes to our cars: "Say there, what are you doing?" "Oh, I'm a gardener. Can you tell me what's the hardest and easiest things to raise?" It was at a Sigma Delta Chi meeting.

BOOK NOTES We clean and press those new knickers and golf shoes too. Yes Sir! The familiar story of rivalry between artists as to which can most thoroughly deceive the other by his art is given a different twist in "17 the Eurekaway Translations" series published by the Duttons. The story is of an ivory carver who carved grains of rice out of ivory so realistically that no one could identify him as painter. The painter, however, was not deceived. When the pretended grains of rice still remained hard after much cooking, he said that fresh grains of rice would be used as the carver to fetch it. The story continues: "Now the painter had painted a picture of a pond hard by, with a dead dog's body beside it. The ivory towards the place where he imagined there was a pond. When he saw the dead dog he held his nose, and then he tried to get the water. But he only smashed his jig, and came to understand that he had been fooled." In fact, we clean everything you wear but your shoes. The riddle of how to make men better without sending them to places where they are made worse is the subject of Dr. Charles Platt's new book, "The Riddle of Society," just published by the Darton firm. It is safe to predict that in view of the prevailing reorganization it will be widely read, both by students of sociology and the general public. An amusing set of "literary" exercises might easily be culled from even the most casual opening of the new "Dictionary of European Literature" (Dutton) designed by Laurie Magnus as a companion to English studies. Who, for instance, can give offhand the name of the woman who wrote the novel *Titian*, like Scott something of his method, and a poet like Byron near Lawrence Steam Laundry Phone 383 the whole of his single hero," and with being "the uncertained governess of the terror-and-mystery novelists!" Perhaps the most strikingly appropriate comment upon a new novel by *Anthony* is his "furniture & Co.) from that veteran critic Robert H. Davis, who described Charles G.
