During the Christmas holidays the world was amused and shocked to read in the papers one morning that a schoolhouse in a little Oklahoma town had caught fire while a celebration was being held and that the younger generation of the town had practically been wiped off the earth in the ensuing disaster. The fire had been a little thing at first but before it was burned out the school was in ruin and outside aid had to be called to care for the dead. It would seem that those in charge of public gatherings would profit by the experience of Hobart, Okla., and take steps to safeguard the lives of those in attendance. Robinson gymnastium in one of these places where steps could be taken and that fact has even been recognized by interested outsiders. Why has nothing been done to make safe the lives of the three thousand students, faculty members, and towards people, who will witness the games with Nebraska, Missouri, Drake, and Washington? How does it happen that the windows in Robbins gymnasium are covered with heavy and rigid wire screens when just such screws received columns of publicity in the Holder灾aster? Why haven't fire escapes been placed along the front and rear walls of the building when it was seen that it takes many minutes to empty the gymnasium after a game? The gymnasium should be made safe. Fire escapes should be placed where they will do the most good. Easily moved or collapsible screens should replace those now in use. The scrabs that project into the entrances should be cut at long with enough others to allow openings for the fire escape. If not, the doors should be $4,000 net profits of football season to make safe the lives of those who attend games and other functions in the gymnasium? Fire executes don't cost a lot of money and it doesn't take months to place them. Why are the seats around the main entrance allwed to project for a foot or more in the already too narrow exit? Are heavy, rigid servers a necessity over the windows? How soon could a panic stricken crowd get out of Robinson if the necessity arises? LUXURY OR NECESSITY? Buck up, you grandfathers. You men who civilized Kansas—who went through hell in making it a pleasant place for us to live in. You solons who pioneered the west —nothing was too hard for you. And now you don't want us to fight our fight. You're trying to make it easier for us and we appreciate it, but we don't want you to try to make future life immune from hardships--you can't. And you shouldn't even try to make it too easy for us. You fighters, you pioneers, you law makers, don't refuse to accept Federal Highway and on the presupposition that you're keeping down our taxes. When we come along in future wars, we can save and skimp and pay. You sacrificed for your generation Let us do the same for ours. You heroes have fought and won. The fruit of your victory should be care and happiness the rest of your life. Paved highway —comfortable and fast travel. That for you fighters. day. That is invitable. And we why shouldn't they come when you can enjoy them? We will want such conveniences as our prices for our What you call a luxury, we will team a necessity. So don't deny yourself comfort, thinking you are making it easier for you. The taxes that this paying project will make for us is not unlike to comparison to what you deserve. And we are a selfish corporation. We are things differently from the way you do. We are going to have saved highways all over the state—something. So why shouldn't they come when you can enjoy them? You kind old men, don't try to take care of the future generations. You fought, and so we can. The administration hit him a good means to popularize a lecture on the inheritance of acquired characteristics. Now if the Wheat Girl could go to some of our classes, the added attraction might help to keep many of us awake. The trend of the modern university seems to be toward the neglecting of learning in favor of education. Terms are merely terms, excepting nectitent and installment plan. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan; Mr. George Nathan is an able, an austic, and, at times, unfair civilist. Since he has ability, it is a commandable power on the part of an "unnamed" man who tries to be nice and then, to imitate him, a little. But it is never well for an amateur to follow a professional into dee deep; but he too, has learned to swim. It is all too easy for a callif, if you want to initiate his capacity and unfrareness without at all comprehending him. So it is very useful that the word "unilked-sub of an 'amateur crieit'" would realize that behind sound and technical knowledge of the art of acting, staging, and writing he must know how to control the audience we owe, pre-imately, such feelings as the Drama Longue's most recent play which was printed in the Kanada. To allow "Nathanian" to dominate what should be a friendly and helpful presence in the school, we encourage efforts of our fellow student and faculty members to help make more of dramatic art as an integral part of dramatic art as an ridiculous as any art for Renaissance or a trench mortar. Is it not now time for the writer of the article to be told, if he can observe, that the best "koofer" is not necessarily the best crisis? The critic should discourage civil techniques, of course, but he should be careful not to alienate his good. And in criticizing the recent book of *Moe Clearances* he ought to judge in what he imagines tells him on what his imagination tells him a production of the play might be. He might have told of the shortcomings of the players in a goucher way than he did and thus been of concern about his role, that the actors were amateurs and that the matinee lover was "unimaginable" as an matinee lover ever afterwise? I don't know. He might have told what was well done and then encouraged the players to do it. He was a great dead in the presentation, quite waxy of high praise (equough that I was perfectly willing to stand on his knees) and chinny in the theater) that the "younger critic failed to observe his surprise in view of the fact that he had fallen apparently, to determine which was actually a physician. His attempt to criticize unfavorable the translation of the play, which he said was "not a good one," to say the lead, by face-to-face referring to the result as "American" was probably a wiser miter than any other play. One tries to shoot at a target he cannot even see. No one ought to try to attack from a language which he knows not at all into a language with which he has no confidence. Concerning the play *Miss Cleo* the verdict of the audience was, to his amazement, that they agree we may accept that verdict without reservations, just an if the critics' code "hit dead" had forgotten to bear it. John F. Griffiths. The department of student health at the Kansas State Agricultural College is urging the students who have been exposed to the toxin pox or who have not taken the prophylaxin for typhoid fever, to have it done at once. There has been no trouble so far this year, and the department wants to avoid any possible danger. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN The Regular Payroll will close Thursday noon, February 19.

By Jacqueline Stice Like an exquisitely formal statue dislodged from the 17th century, was Madame Lainawskis's harsheed concert last evening. She herself, was essentially modestive, yet her chained chants suited the entire program. Plain Tales From the Hill What the members lacked in variety, they made up to the effect of articulate unity. The selection of Handel, Bach and Scarlatti took on a new dimension with Madame Lau- lard's interpretation on her cello instrument. Our Latin American history student came proudly home from class. The other day, bearing a name which he intended to incorporate into his study program, the claim of erase word puzzles. The word in Vizcochea Pachyanchchy. A frehamman, bert over his desk, a wristwristed and a look of abstraction on his face, was briefly attacked by a knife. Suddenly he fact lightened and he shouted triumphantly to his roommate. Only 140 days until school is out!" Plain Tales From the Hill Handel's "Harmonious Black-sandhall," executed with precision was colorful, the melody tingling with life. The piano numbers seemed a bit conventionalized, although it is quite probable that the curious appeal of the harppeled pit put the music on a different footing. The word the music instrument "Rigidism et Tambourine" was fascinating weld, Daquin "Le Couleur" and the last three Seventieth Gauche. The Gauche was the Ground "Ave Maria" was a tiring close to a program delightful both for its unusual and picturesque charm and for the vivid personality which it inspired with which it was flavored. The Bach group was super-delicate, dainty, tookling, like a voice from the precise old composer's century. If one may judge art by the present surroundings into an imaginative beautiful world, the playing of the Bach selections was art. No less charming and picturesque was the encore in this group, "Rondo to an Adagio," the intense and vivid in the minor string. Phi (The Few) Hui Back to Normalcy Back to Normalcy No longer from the roof tops doired voices about out the correct Western Union time every 15 minutes; no more do doubles to our sanity arise when we see some strangely pale, boobshed-maced men waving a red bandana; no more do we blink tired eyes unbelievably as our eyes rest upon in fair dammed sprinkling the lawn and tunefully move the fence more," while torrents of rain pown down upon her; no more shall we receive dark looks and hear unkind remarks from our best friend when I join the packet against the pocket with the earp in it—that is not until next Hell week. An old alumun, one Fleecen by name, arrived at his fraternity house 7 a.m. His siblings, his brother Morphus, their brother were for a time totally and colossally unresponsive to his pounding and screaming as they opened a sleepy eye and called: "Fleecen," was the somewhat ruffled response. "Who's he after?" shouted another brother bouncing up in bed in terror. He thought he said "Policeman."
