Emerged as an extraordinary mail matter later that day, Ms. Brennan was flown to Kansas, under the order of March 5, 1937, for an air interment. On Sunday overnight she attends in the home of her father, Joseph Brennan, from the Town of Kansan, from the Town of the Department of Homeland Security.
TUESDAY, MARCH 30, 1926
Are we so uncertain of our cherished ideals in the United States, that we must bear only the side of a question that coincides with the established idea? This seems to be the case for students and teachers. We students the right of hearing both sides of the question of pacifism and other matters of public interest.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
THE LITTLE THEATER
No nation in the world has gone to such lengths as the United States to insure freedom of thought and freedom of speech and yet no people are quicker to preach suppression. Our press is harried at the very thought of censorship, and yet sometimes the very men who control the press openly preach suppression of thought in other ways.
Biased opinions based on information that is one-sided are certain to be false. They will not lead to the greatest advancement. The students of the University of Kansas are able to separate the wheat from the chaff in what they are told. Those who preach suppression of "radical" speakers on the campus must have a very poor idea of the intelligence of their sons and daughters in K, U.
At last it looks as if play loves in Lawrence are going to have their desires satisfied. A Little Theater movement, plans for which are now near completion, will present durations of plays that will bring the drama back to Lawrence and will fill a much needed want.
The plays will attempt to suit the tastes of all and will range from the more serious to comedy. This fact adds to the value of the movement.
It was the lack of stage offerings in Lawrence that prompted, to a large extent, the origin of the movement, and those who are backdating it are rendering a distinct service to the city.
If Mrs. Tim Murphy really did call Tim to go to the hot place when she left him at Kansas City and went to Chicago it was just breath-wasted. According to Tim that was the place he had just got out of.
"DAGGERS, SEVENS AND HEARTS"
These lovely bleeding hearts smeared liberally over campus sidewalks recently have aroused considerable interest as to whether they are symbols of undying affection from some lovelorn swain or insidious propaganda from some secret seet which observes Valentine's day in March. Whatever their origin, one holds in great respect the intellectual giants whose minds foster this type of primitive art.
At periodic intervals in the past the campus has been bedecked with symbols of quaint and mysterious design. Two bar sevens, dargers, and now hearts have been presented. One never knows what morning the sidewalks will be painted to represent grass thereby causing great concern among pedestrians. It is supposed of course that the signs carry a cryptic message which could be imparted in no other way. Scientists a thousand years hence may tweak their beards in vain to discover the meaning of them.
If the paint singer did it to gain publicity, let it be known that this editorial is written to satisfy them
At this season of the year Lawrence is especially blessed with many birds who have come back from the Southland to make their nests and rear their young. They are cold and hungry.
HELP THE BIRDS
Feed them crumbs, bits of gut,
stale cheese, grains of popcorn. You will thus be able to help many feathered songsters and bright-blued friends through the next few days until the snow melts. Place the food on the snow regularly beneath some cover like the shelter of a hedge, a thicket, a brief patch, clump of old dry grass, beneath trees or anywhere the birds may congregate.
Don't be discouraged if you do not see them approach. The food will be found and eaten. Unless aid is given many of these birds will starve before the snow melts when they can again find food.
That the newspapers of today are stronger and more thoroughly organized than those of yesterday no one can doubt, especially after seeing how well they survive invasions of college journalism classes, which come in and put out an issue frequently.
Judge Ernest seems to have worked on the theory that almost everyone would get married sooner or later anyway, and that it might as well be done now and be over with it.
THROUGH THE KEYHOLE
The senate retired behind closed doors recently and confirmed the nomination of Thomas F. Woodlock as a member of the interstate commerce commission. The hearings on Woodlock's nomination resulted in an adverse report when his qualifications were considered in the open. When his case was taken up in secret, he earned victories.
Now some of the senators are demanding that they be allowed to tell their constituents how they voted. The public wants to know, and is entitled to a report as to why the vote was changed. This appointment is an important question. The man chosen does not have a very clear record in connection with his activities in Wall street.
But regardless of the rights of the public to know what went on behind closed doors, and the insistent demand by some senators that they tell how they voted, the senate refuses to lift
out of the keyhole. The sentenite ever binds that there are to be more secretive sessions in the future.
The Woodlock vote has been kept a secret from the public.
A senior estimates that in turning down life insurance salemen this semester he has so far saved $987, club (club) shows a balance of only $417.
How happy will be the time when the exploitation of the Theater for the purpose of raising money for worthy causes shall have ceased! The theater, a public space that is indispensable right,—the production of dramatic and musical pieces of merit in a sarcosis and artistic manner. When a production fails to satisfy either audience or performers, the "amusement" standpoint, it must perform forfeit its right to distinction. Wango-Pango will provide an opera in ballets, that alone is its "rison d'etre."

The senior play tradition at Kansas has died the inevitable death of any tradition which stands only upon the fact that it is sanctioned by custom. The senior plays, with the absence of anything resembling virility or craftsmanship, are not taught in schools make it go. The University of Michigan has succeeded in gaining nation-wide applause with its annual production, written and directed by students. But the Michigan group presents an entertainment which they dare to offer to Philadelphia, and even sophisticated New York schools. Because Kansas might easily emulate this example if the goal set was an

SACHEM MEETING;
Nineteen men, representing 12 institutions, were enrolled in the herdsmans course at the dairy department of the Agricultural College this semester.
In the Pirate Cherus, Mr. Matthews, the director, presented a pleasing blit in staging and dance steps. Unforgettable pieces were given more pliable material in the form of a cast, and a more positive and vivile story around which to perform. The materials included in producing a musical ceremony at the level of his annual standard.
This is not calculated to delegate Wango-Pango unreservedly to the junk heap. It might have been a story had it be rewritten and edited, though the Hawaiian theme seemed like a hangover from bygone days, actually what the story might have contained had it be adequately staged. Bad groupings of characters, inexcessual mumbling of words, obvious extemizering, and the exasperating slow temp of the show successfully prevented the audience from knowing what the story "was all about."
The music was for the most part brilliant and clever. There was an originality and freshness about the songs which helped keep the comedy going. Miss Marcel has written several which would have caught the audience had they had the opportunity to perform, or any one to become familiar with it.
A compromise was recently reached in the sparred regarding Sunday shows at Champagne, III. The proposal will be put on a vote of the people.
The Snowland Bullet, contributed by the Tau Sensor sorority, was a welcome touch of artistry in the middle of the show which stood out from the rest. The lead actress, Delee Smith "sold" his song, in the nomenclature of the theater, and contributed appreciably in each of his appearances. Mice Greenman played the role of Erica, assigned to her, and happily, refused to drop from character throughout the performance. In contrast to her composure was the unpopular incarceration to the Music Box dance in the second act. She was given an all-stage etiopia, allowed the unsophisticated and scatter-brained audience a degree of intimacy which tormented down in a flash all the constructive which and been down up is that point.

ART
At last art has come out of the atlite at the University of Kansas. That is to say, the Thayer collection, or some of it, has been moved from the dusty storeroom where it has rested for over a century. The Thayer gallery and is now ready for public inspection. As an aside, it is worth observing that America is one of the few places where such artistic negligence would be permitted by the people. But hygienic is by no means easy in any noisy place in which to distain it.
which are the only ones finished, are the collection of noted paintings, mostly American; embroidery work, China and glassware; old and valuable Japanese paintings and prints and the collection of etchings which includes works by artists such as Durer, Durer. The central gallery holds the American paintings. A virtue of this collection which makes it especially valuable for a university gallery is the abundance of paintings by blooming bees, at least figuratively, in the deep, dark brows of "hines" "The Glaner" and the brilliant colors of a modernist, like Anna Boherg, in "Drying the Sails." Ibrahim's quiet colors in the genre "Peeling Potatoes."
The clouds in Window Homer'
"Cloud Shadows" are as light as the
blowy clouds that float over Mount
Kilimanjaro. The watercolors of Homer.'
"Among the Oaks" and "In Bermuda" the former has caught the dreamy, drooping spirit of trees. Water color is an
amplifier for this kind of drawing.
Among the more modern pictures—though no one knows what just is be called "modern" - Moeffetz's "A Vern Mount Seven" and Miss Bolger's twicetures stand out for their hold treatment of color and mass. A picture that is striking for its harmony o green and its pleasing arrangement is Richard Miller's portrait of a woman in her fine picture. An absence of the same.
Other signatures found on the pictures are "J. Francis Murphy," "Garden and Home" and "D. Martin." "Robert Ittier," "Paid Dooley," and "E. Lawson."
In the adjoining north gallery is another art, no less great in its own way, though a very different way, than the American. This is the most impressive work in this collection is probably appreciated by only a few of the casual visitors to the gallery. Some of the temple pictures are past 500 years old. Such a great artist is Olgy Murray, one of the most interesting and valuable of the

pictures are the sacred pictures which used to hang in the Buddist temples of Japan. Red, gold, green, blue and white are predominant in these picture collections; they are also the drawing, the delicate color and the light touch throughout, which is characteristically oriental, of the Japanese paintings and prints are an art that is deeply rooted in the culture and makes and deeper colors of the Americas. At one end of the gallery lies samples of the rich and delicately embroidered tintypes of woodblock prints. These are paintings in one unusual picture which may belong to the art of India. Opposite the bright-colored Oriental pictures are the etchings. These include figures from Darao, Darar, F. Semour Haden, Moran and Giebhom. The four etchings by Whistler are done with his characteristically succeeds and simplicity of line. The "London Street" etchings by Whistler has his impressionistic and floeing art.
