A LOSS TO THE MIDDLE WEST
In the death of Mrs. Laura Nelson-Kirkwood the Middle West has host a quiet but significant character. Especially will her loss be felt throughout Kansas and Missouri, as well as in Kansas City and its immediate vicinity.
Miss. Kirkwood, as sole trustee of the Kansas City Star, carried out the principles which she believed to be right, and did not let money enter into her decisions regarding the paper. She has been a figure in the background rather than one who has stood in the limelight, but nevertheless a real guiding force in the policies of the paper which was entrusted to her at the death of its founder.
CHOOSE YOUR CAREER
"Women are coming into their own and are being accepted on an equal basis with men in professional life," is the keynote of nearly every speaker's message to the University women given by successful professional women, in connection with the program of "Bounce Your Career Week" being held on the campus this week
This week, which is planned and managed by the W. S. G. A. and Women's Forum, seeks to interest University women in professional work and help them to decide on their future careers.
It has been an important problem to settle, and a great many women have sought for advice and council in regard to specific professions open to women for some time without receiving any aid. The "Choose-Your-Career-Week" is the answer to this need.
WORLDLINESS
RELIGION
The fields of medicine, business, social service, and domestic science are being explained on this year's program, and the women of the University should avail themselves of the opportunity of hearing the talks which are being planned for their benefit.
Claude Martin, a young man in an Indiana town, has been brought to trial before the congregation of the Palmyra Church of Christ for worldliness. Martin is threatened with expulsion from the church as a climax of a disagreement with townfolk over recreational activities introduced by him among the young people of the community after his return from college a few years ago.
The church elders first assumed responsibility for the trial, but remanded it to the congregation when a former elder read New Testament verses with which he said Martin's accusers had not complied. One man demanded a recess, and the "court" closed, and those conducting the trial decided that jurisdiction in the case was vested in the congregation more properly than in the board of judges.
Martin has been ordered by leaders in the church and town ever since his graduation from college for his liberal ideas in regard to recreation As school principal he had difficulty with the school board when he tore out part of a partition in the school house to make a basketball floor. Later he was ousted as principal. The church assault resulted when he built a community playhouse with his own funds.
Churches and church people are coming more and more to realize that the attitude of the church must
so different from that of 25 years ago. There are instances where the church has tried to modernize itself to such an extent that it is disappeared. There are other instances, such as that of the Palmyra church, in which church people take to the modern idea slowly. The true courses to demand sympathetic understanding of both viewpoints, and in most cases, a moderate attitude. A progressive attitude does not mean reducing the church to a vaudeville show or a dance hall, but in the modern world, something more than the old methods of attention seem essential to interest people in religion. The purpose of Clyde Martin was undoubtedly a worthy one, but he seems to have let his enthusiasm carry him away. But it will certainly show an inartificial attitude on the part of the church if they excep him, and will probably do more harm to the church than to the young man himself.
A Missouri woman claims that she was growing so vain over her benefited, long tresses, that she had them burdened in order to stop a tock to vanity. A woman will find an excuse for anything.
CLIMBING FOR HIGHER LEARNING
Hundreds of students walk daily up 14th street, arriving at the summit of Mt. Goread fatigued and out of breath. They find it hard to apply themselves to their school work because their energies are dissipated. This circumstance is a sad one —and not because the Hill must be climbed, but because students in this speed-worthying age of mechanical transportation have not learned to walk a hill.
Gymnastics are equipped with a wide variety of apparatus designed to help students learn to use their muscles correctly. Much of this training is an elementary education in the stage stands of a circus clown. With all their physical education many students go through the University, and perhaps through life without having learned to walk up a hill.
Watch the collegiate procession ascending 14th street! They trudge along flatfooted, advancing one foot then dragging the whole body after it, making labor of every step. If the foot muscles were used scientifically, the climb would not be a falting one. By walking on the toes, thus taking advantage of the leverage in the large toe, one can walk up a bill easily and gracefully. No fancy ballet dancing is recommended for hill-climbing. Morely spring forward on the toes with each step. The heels need never touch the bricks in the ascent.
This way of walking is the labor of hill-climbing to a minimum. All veteran mountain-climbers go up bill on their toes. The method works as well on Mt. Oread as on Mt. Shasta or Pike's Peak. An the advertisements say, "Give it a tril."
A NEW HOSPITAL
The University has recently accrued a new library building, has a New Union building under construction, and is formulating plans for a new auditorium. Yet with all these new buildings we continue to house the hospital in a dinky little "fire trap." The lease on the present structure expires this spring. So before looking around for another place into which to move the hospital equipment it might be advisable to consider the need for a new and modern, fireproof building, one large enough to care for all the students in the University.
Students are daily forced to wait for medical attention because of the inadequacy of the dispensary room and the fact that there are too few doctors to have one on duty all the time. There is not enough room to care for all the bed patients, not to speak of isolating contagious diseases in separate warte. Some day we'll receive the harvest of lethargy in a widespread epidemic which can not be curbed because of lack of medical service. Whom will be to blame then?
The Board of Regents will have food for thought when that happens. Why not think now?
Campus Opinion
Editor. Daily Kansan:
I saw something yesterday afternoon which appeals to me as being such a good joke that I cannot help but write about it. The net which was given to me was interesting and the very interesting and educational lecture being given by Dr. C. P. Berkeley, of Columbia University. The one who performed the act was a captain in a naval aviation training course, a captain in an airborne engineer, a wartime office is in Blake Hall.
It would not have been so funny to those of us around him to see him sitting there with his chin on his chest, soundleep, and we not remembered many a lecture from him on the criminal net of class sleeping. Quito naturally took us there and Quito naturally took us to use and hear of our audience sleeping, but all that we could do was to pay strict attention ourselves.
At the end of the beure, the propluded the same old n刷 of asking a question, but as is usually the case, he only made matters worse for bad he enna woke all the time, he would have heard the answer to his question
Editor, Daily Kansas:
Concerning your suggestion in the editorial "More Time for Enrolling," that more days he set aside for the enrollment of students in classes, I think there is a better way to reach the goal you have set for him. The advice given by instructors to students is given not in the rush of enrollment days, but at odd times in the office or laboratory when the student finds his collegial professor and they talk matters over. I dare say, most students get their professor to give them their advice. Why not assign a new student to some "adviser" who will make out the subjects for the first semester, and then during this time the student be asked to find his "advisor" or head of his future department who he is assigned to after they are selected for the whole college course.
Get all students to enroll during May for the fall semester and during December for the spring semester. The enrolling card would be filled out by every student himself guided by a "sequence" made out previously. This enrolling could be done at a central office where a couple of answers answer and receive cards. The enrollment could give 25 days for the enrollement, in classes.
Such a plan would make real ad-
vising possible. There would be no acrue-
sious waiting in line. If a section
should fill up, the department could
plan and add a new one. Much could
be van and but little loot.
The fumblers would probably need to change some courses, but they are a small per cent of our student body. Baddies, less enthusiastic students now in the University, we should favor those who do good work and not those whose names harpons to begin with because they may happen to have the precedence in any year.
A few would fail to return in September but other would arrive to fill up the sections. Only the new students of a semester would thus be to be enrolled to work. A semester could be done without crowding or waiting in line. Other institutions caroll curly. Why not try it at Kannse? W.J. W. J.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Student passing Commons: "I smell alcaled chicken cooking."
Second same: "Yeb, if people smelled with their eyes you would be so color blind you couldn't tell a coal bin from a snowbank."
...
Elderly lady: "This is a pretty cold morning to sell Sour Owls isn't it, my boy?"
S. D. C. Pledge: "Nope, not a hot number like this one."
Headline in Kansas: "W. S. G. R., argsbion aguelem of senior date rule." Upperclassman: "Who in the heck wnits to date seniors, anyway?"
A psychologist places all liairs in one of three classes. In the first class, those who tell ordinary lies; in the second, those who tell false things; and in the third class, the worst of all, those who spring statistics.
Doctor Braden in class. "If heaven is a place with gold movements, white robes, and we have to go about it," he says. If he doesn't, then I'm in the first place. I can't play a harp."
Student: "Is Snow bigger than the Commons then?"
Psychology lab instructor (explaining value of correlation): "Certainly this number is bigger than that one. I suppose you cannot tell which is larger, Administration building or the chemistry building?"
