STATION W D R F?
A radio broadcasting station has not yet been installed on our campus but it would be a welcome addition to our long list of campus activities. For more than a year, a great number of universities have operated effective broadcasting stations.
Ten thousand dollars would provide Kansas with a radio outfit qualified in every way to fulfill the needs of the institution. Such an outfit would furnish a range and power equal to the better stations in either parts of the country. The possibilities of radio were well demonstrated recently on Radio Night.
With a powerfully equipped station important athletic results, lectures, musical programs and the like might be sent over the waves so that thousands of persons interested in K. U. would have an opportunity to receive "first hand" information. What more effective means could be devised to bring the public into closer touch with the University and to keep the interest of our alumni at high pitch than the opportunity of "listening in" on a K. U. event?
--images of ivory
And idols made of bone
Gods of gold and porphyry
Or fetishes of stone
Are none of them as worthy
Of the worship that you pay
As my little earthly goddess
Whose feet are made of clay.

BACK TO BOSTON
Some well-meaning, constitution-loving, George Washington-reverencing citizens of Massachusetts met on the birthday of the "daddyd" of these great states and did a very un-American thing. They passed a resolution to oust foreign teaching from the schools; to deport aliens who have not learned the American language within two years; to restrict the publication of the 1200 foreign language papers within our borders; and to abolish all signs in foreign languages.
"They fear for the "pause and prosperity" of the United States, believing that the "distressing assortment of languages in foreign countries has much to do with their misunderstandings and unrest."
Coming from the center of culture of the United States this opinion of maintaining the purity of the country cannot be put aside with levity. Either the tea-drinking, self-conceived Bostonians who are living on the "Glorious Past" have lost sight of progressiveness, or they must admit that the orbit of learning is moving westward.
German is being taught again in our public schools. The petty adjoins contracted during the war are dying out. To understand other peoples we must study their language rather than oppress every tongue for the use of American grammatical constructions. The English language can best be understood with a knowledge of other languages from which it has been derived.
Those worehippies of the Constitution have grown insensible to the provisions for free speech and free press. They should take a stand against the use of "pig latin" or the improper employment of "walk in" for "enter" in street signs—something that really is important.
Much has been said concerning those professors who insist on holding their classes overtime, and who invariably become white with rage when a student is a few minutes late to one of their classes. These criticisms are many, and obvious. But still the practice perists, and in what is perhaps its worst form in the gymnasium classes.
ANOTHER APPEAL
It is rumored that many K. U. stu-
lents have decided not to ride the
suites to Kansas City until after the
elections, if they are all to be equip-
ed with radio outfits.
These gym classes are all too often started from five to twenty minutes later, dragged along to the utter hobble of instructor and student, and dismissed within a minute or two of the whistle. No student can remove his gym suit, take a decent shower and get into their street clothes in even a most hapazhard manner in the short time that is often allowed.
Edison favors lethal gas, while daimex prefers hanging as a means if ridding the world of undesirable citizens. Our dear professors, however, still cling to the "shot-gun" method of thinning the ranks of their classes.
Instructors and students would un doubtedly enjoy their work much more, and get a great deal more good out of it, were the instructors to put the classes to work on time, make the work snappy and intensive, and then, with the required amount of time spent in the work, dismiss the class in time for them to bathe and get on the street again, fully dressed and comfortable.
Spring is here because a one-hose shaw appeared on the streets the other day. Oh, no! Why, it isn't even warm enough yet for the girls to start wearing their furs.
