BOOST THE GLEE CLUB
'Last night about 9 o'clock it was cold—very cold! The wind was blowing fiercely in the vicinity of the west end of the campus, gathering momentum as it swept up the valley from the stadium. But the spirits of thirty-six young men warmed the atmosphere, as they poured out of Marvin hall and into the cold night.
The Men's Glee Club which won the Valley glee club contest two weeks ago, thus earning the right to participate in the national contest, has been holding nightly rehearsals since the district championship was won. "Prof" Larremore has been having his boys work on several new numbers and rehearse the old ones.
It wasn't easy for the 36 men to trudge through the snow and wind last night to sing for an hour and a half. It won't be easy tonight. But the impelling force is their hope to win the national glee club championship.
It's our duty to give them a boost. The club needs $5,000 for transportation to New York and back. But even if it were twice as much, K. U should not ignore her singers.
THE WALKS KEPT CLEAR
Let's all give! Buy a ticket for the two variables and the glee club concert next week.
Students who had to fight their way through the blizzard yesterday appreciated the efforts of both those on the Hill and the residents of Lawrence in clearing the snow from the walks promptly.
Students appreciated the fact that it was hard work to keep the rapidly drifting snow from piling up. But after the storm had subsided somewhat in the afternoon, almost every street had its corps of sweeps buggy with shovels and brooms, clearing paths. By night there was scarcely a walk, at least in the student district and on the Hill, which did not have a path cleared through it. Civic pride and co-operation are shown in the prompt manner in which this was done.
Those who were forced to be out in the storm found it hard work plowing through the drifts and making any headway against the gale, which seemed to come from every direction. For this reason, they were thankful to find at intervals paths cleared for them.
TIMELY OR UNTIMELY?
Statistician's figures on the number of budding romances that have gone on the rocks because of the discrepancies of the library clocks would probably be alarming.
The clock in the reserve room is perhaps the greatest offender. Frequently it is no more than half an hour off, however. But in the realm of timepieces, half-hour discrepancies often bring more complications than greater periods.
The memorial chineses clock in the hall outside the reading room is rarely in accordance with the whistle. Even the miniature ticker in the periodical room qualifies for its bit of panning. It somehow manages to lead off about five minutes at the get-away, and on the home stretch, apparently foreseeing a night of unimposed rest, it increases the cadence and goes under the wire at 10 p. m. a good 15 minutes ahead of the field.
Doing away with this untimely trio might help matters some, or, as a last resort, we might suggest synchronization.
WHAT A MAN READS
"As we can judge a man by his company, so can we tell man's personality and culture by the kind of books he reads." thus taught an ancient wise man.
If his teaching is still true in this "we modern" generation, it is a grave phonemonium to notice how a whole new type of "gutter literature" has sprung up in this country within the last few years. We are told that the circulation of these new magasizes run up into millions.
They not only find regular customers among the common laymen and "uneducated protesters," whose real lives are drab, dull and疏阔 affairs; but also are petted by university and college intelligensin, the cream of the earth. These intelligence are not quite satisfied by merely reading ready-made—ones, and they go so far as to publish articles after their own hearts, which we find on various university and college campuses.
The purposes of publishing such magazines are twofold: one is to satisfy their defense mechanism, and the other is to exploit the public arousing their cheap emotions. Thus the patronizers of "gutter literature," indulge in a temporary world of halibution and fantasy.
For the reason that this "literature" gives such an ecstasy, so direct, so handy, and so cheap, (not more than two-bits for a copy) the desire for it is very hard to break down, despite the efforts made recently by churches and the law.
After all, the publishers cannot be blamed. They do not see any wrong in doing so. Neither can we " blame readers too much for they do not know any better "literature," or even though they have heard of high-profile magazine们 they do not pass sufficient intelligence to enjoy reading them. When shall we blame, then? Something must be wrong with existing cultures and modern civilization which justify publication of this gutter literature.
The coming of spring used to be the fortower of such sports as baseball, rowing, and hiking. Now with every warm day, one feels an appreciation of handshakes.
WHERE TRADE WINDS BLOW
American export trade last year amounted to nearly $5,000,000,000, a recent magazine article tells us. An increase of 124 per cent between 1910 and 1914 and an advance of practically 13 per cent in 1925 over the preceding year show that the trade has recovered wherever the trade winds blow.
This service increased American overseas business by $500,000,000 last year, the article declares. It is a sort of commercial adventure of exploration that annexes new trade domains and opens new fields for the products of American farms and factories. It is an activity that links the Kansas wheat fields and the New England textile plants with the needs of India.
Behind the individual trader and his far-flung fabric of commerce that he has created is an agency that is the mainspring of our widening offensive. It is the foreign service of the Department of Commerce, the guide, scout and counsel for the producer and manufacturer.
It does everything for exporters but sell their goods and collect their bills. It advises, routes goods, points the way to opportunities, devices new highways in times of disaster or war, and feels the foreign market pulse for new trade extensions.
Undoubtedly the service is a powerful force in American foreign trade. It laws a path for the sale of everything American from chewing gum and mouse traps to baby buggies and Ford cars. It is a guide of the trade winds.
"V. A. Dehoof butchered hogs of Tuesday and J. A. McKone on Friday," says the Lawrence Journal World.
A cub writes for us: A student in a Dodge car was overtured but not injured this morning at 8:15 at the corner of Kentucky and Eight streets.

Editor Daily Kansas:
Bernard Bloch.
your little note attached to my letter in Wednesday night's paper was remarkably good, considering that it evaded the issue in only three points. The first was your statement that the Kansan had not thought the Sour Owls popularity context worthy of it. Dove had disposed of it so ably." I thank you; but you should remember that a mouth elapsed between the date of the Owl and the appearance of the Dove, during which the Kansan might easily have expressed whatever disapproval it felt. That it obviously mattered when it was evasion; namely, that I was flinging a mud ball "at a group for the net of a few individuals." Of course you could not understand that the mud ball was directed against the implicit sentence extended by the group to the Kansan. I would not pretend to indifference to what was ethically the worst feature of the Owl is a beautiful example of what I mean by evasion that a journalist knows no principle. Your third and final evasion consisted in stating that "the Kansan still declines to regard The Dove as a friend" or "not pretended to be speaking for the Dove, and moreover said not a word about any relation between the two journals, because none exists. Your statement, therefore, seems to me rather a cewardy way of begging the question—especially since the Dove was already young, and changed its policy only after seeing that the Dove was gaining in popularity among the students of the University
THESE RADICALS
The first Dove appeared March 20,
1925. On that day the Kavanan carried
the editorial which follows.—Editio.
The appearance of a so-called "illegal" sheet on the campus this morning caused a variety of reactions.
Some people felt that their toes were stepped on, others dabbed the toe of someone else, and others deemed it a natural result of the unrest of youth, and gave it more importance.
Whether we arrive with any given device, the knowledge it provides is beside the point. Any honest opinion deserves intelligent tolerance. A university is certainly no place to plug in a microchip.
expect to find the truth. We shall not fear any point of view if we are honest and open minded in our judgements.
There is probably a considerable amount of both traced images in them, and they are at least a frank attempt to sit at the bottom of campaation situation. The question is whether they have been thinking clearly and are truly liberal, the sheer
The "Lacky Number" of the Sour Owl appeared on the Hill Jan. 13. The editorial which followed appeared in the Kanan for that day. The statement quoted in the letter above referred to the particular editorial written by
The gullibility of University workdays is a thing to watch, and it comes in morning when the "Lucky Number" of the Sour Owl caws out with a list of things it likes. The popularity contest, and under their popularity contest, are based on
THE OWL'S DUPLICITY
That the gallant Owls took advantage of the naive trustfulness of their fellow voters to report as assurances that their votes were counted on ballots, numbered on balls were checked back.
But despite the duplicity of the Ovie, and the ignominious method of punishment, the amusement, the revelation is an unhappy farewell. In the first place, popular contexts are cheap, unqualified, and unfavorable; they warrant the support of University women. In the second place, a sensitive community has asserted that the innocent corners of the bully's mind are safe.
But the Hill has had its laugh, and the gullible women have no other alternative than to pretend to be "good sports."
Editor Daily Kansan:
A recent editorial criticizes the programs of KFKU as being unimponged, dead, and otherwise undesirable, and particularly objectionable because students "excet a few select Finsk Arts students" are not permitted to
In reply: In the first place, the University of Kansas including its radio equipment, has one primary function, and that is to instruct students to operate the furnish vaudeville and other lighten diversions. The proper function of the radio, then, is to enable electric engineers to study this new science and to enablethe University to deliver practical knowledge in possible of informative material.
As a matter of fact, the Fabri-
program called for just 11 talks of I
work in a whole month, and a
whole month. And as for getting
the same information from encyclopa-
dias—even students will go to a con-
vocation speech in preference to con-
vocation reading.
The Kansan two months ago carried a story or two inviting students to prepare and submit student programs. To date none has been prepared even after personal interviews and urging upon representative students. - W A F
