For This Issue: NEWS: MARTIN, HARMON j SPORTS: RUSH HAMRICK o Actual Education Editor's note: The f ollowing editorial comment on Kansas' State . university is taken from William Allen White's Emporia Gazette. If it is necessary to prove to the skeptics that the Univer sity of Kansas is actually engaged in the business of educa tion, here's some of the accumulating evidence : first, the school had a losing football team; second, the school lias a losing basketball team. AH this indicates rather conclusive ly, that the school at least has not put athletics first and scoured the state for touchdown and basketball court mate rial. And now, wonder of wonders, the Owl society at K. U. re cently sponsored the selection of no not a popularity queen, but a that's right an intelligence queen. Gentle readers, this is almost an unheard of thing for a modern: educational institution but we guess it's all right. o Tradition $ 'if V .'eyening the May Frolics committee presented a series of questions to the4nembers of its organization. One of these was, "Do -you want May Frolics to be held m the new gymnasium or in the, Tin Can?" . One fraternity has already voted, and the other houses will probably follow the lead of the first from all indications. The result was surprisingly in favor of the Tin Can, which costs $350 more for decorations. Unless the inconvenience presented by the size of Woollen gym is completely the reason, the extra $350; spent would seem to be merely an investment in tradition. o Positive Liberalism The fact that the Carolina Political Union brings noted, articulate : representatives of opposing political and social viewpoints is in itself not an indication of the liberalism of University students. It does represent the Administration's liberal .attitude toward freedom of speech. It does give an unusual opportunity for students to become liberal. Whatever, ones' definition of "Liberalism" is, most will agree that the word connotes an active rather than a passive mode of thinking and acting. . It is therefore a ve'ry valid request that the CPU makes when" it urges students to specifically prepare to express themselves during the question-and-answer session of the coming McNinch program. Too many student audiences of past CPU meetings have shown a passive auditory reception of the ideas presented rather than an active reaction and response with their minds and mouths to those same ideas. It may be quite possible that such active reaction is late coming and takes, place after the audience leaves the hall. It is quite possible that it never occurs. In any case, it is worthwhile to remind ourselves that Liberalism" is something far more potent and active than the mere listening to. speeches. It is more likely to be a critical evaluation of the speeches heard and an active gov erning of one's thinking and, acting according to a "Liberal" interpretation to the ideas absorbed. D. W. B. To" TeE The Truth' By Adeian Spies Americans, really incurable roman ticists at heart, have always been de prived of the traditional lore that En rope has teethed on for centuries. In substitution, there has been a glorifi cation of the present. Such myths as the Horatio Alger type were taken as symbols of the power of a people. And Americans, very busy growing up, believed in Horatio Alger as Eu ropeans believe in the wonders of their own legendary saints. And of all young Americans maturing into "suc cess' none were more romanticized and revered than the college students were. The picture of young men draw ing infinite from mysterious books be came, for a time, the American dream. Now there are 800,000 college stu dents in this country. And at least a part of them have grown up with this strange idea of the immunity of an "educated" man. They are preparing for varied careers and services, and will expect them when they are grad uated. Many of them are being sent by the sacrifices of indulging fami lies, who have been convinced that a four year deprivation of their- parts will insure the futures of their chil dren. Fortune Magazine has just com pleted a survey of national opinion up on this matter of a college education. This question was posed to family and business folk: "Which do you think has a better chance of earning a living today a high school student who has had four years of experience, or a man just out of college?" It is interesting, now, to observe the reactions of these different groups. For the family, folk, those who save and glorify and hope, feel pretty strongly about a college education. One third "of them declared that they believed- a college man has the best chance for success. But the business men, the frightening executives whom all of us must face soon, were less encouraging. A great majority of them, these who have had dealings with college men, believed that the high-school student is more likely to succeed. Professional people were in favor of the collegians but few of them do any employing of statistical importance. This then is the sentiment of a fairly representative canvassing of America. Family people with children still dream in Horatio Alger whimsy. And executives who must hire and fire men are completely unimpressed with the importance of a college edu cation. 'And they are not particulary concerned with the 800,000 students who are now preparing to invade their crippled industries. The students who have been kidded into a misconception of the importance of their secondary training. But perhaps there is something more to success than the dollars and cents conception that the surveyors seem to harbor. And perhaps there is something more to learning than the ability to beat some one to a job. It might be worth while for 800,000 boys and girls and thousands more to spend their parents' money if they do no more than learn something about such sad conditions as the one which produced the Fortune Magazine report. If they learn the factors of such insane competition among young people and are inspired to do some thing about alleviating them. The American dream of the infal lible college student is archaic. But the dream of young people learning of ; life, and learning remedies for the inferior, elements of it, is better than all of European lore. FROM ALL FARTS By WALTER KLEEMAN Prize headline of the week, which almost got into the Daily Kansan: SENATE TO GRILL FRANKFUR TER. Best classroom crack: The profes sor was teaching his class of coeds and one of them after hearing him say that most coeds did not have an over abundance of brains, asked him how he graded them. "Oh, I grade them on their curves." Enough? Behind the Eckdahl, Ky. Kernel, contributes the best crack of the week: "Is a man really married if the shot gun wasn't loaded?" Two ads, the first from the Yale News: . You don't have to win a major "Y" to get them You don't have to wear Bond street clothes to get them You don't have to bow and scrape for an introduction to get them Three scorching, seductive, Smith GIRLS with their own tickets (you don't have to explain first downs to them) want dates after the Harvard game with reasonably clean-shaven Yale men. (Sorry, no freshmen or boys in short pants.) The second from the Indiana Daily Student: "I AM BLOND, blue-eyed and beau tiful and in the' mood to accept bids to the Trl-Kappa Charity Ball. Es corts must be tall, dark, and hand some. Reach me at the commons any afternoon this week. I will be wearing a gardenia.' Orchids are really my favorite flowers." The line forms to the right. The University of Illinois rates its coeds thus: "0 for girl telephone calls. 2 points for a letter from the boy at home. 5 points for local male telephone calls. 7 points for male long distance calls. 8 points for a week-end date. 10 points for first major dance date. 15 points for first fraternity dance bid. 35 points for, first fraternity pin. If, you average 50 points a week, you are a real queen. 45 points and you can think you're a queen. 40 points, you are a good girl. 35 points, you still have a chance. 30 points, you still rate above a real crock. Under 25 points, the girls may still like you." And we might add that any coed who can furnish us documented proof of a -queen rating can have her name printed in this column next week and get crowned. .'.,. The Boston University News had a bit to help you in the pursuit of know ledge on "How to Win Fathers-in-Law and Influence Marriage Rate Fig ures," and here it is.: "Do you -lack savoir faire, sang froid, and other French words? Is your popularity lower than a dog's tail at half-mast? Are you a wall flower in full bloom? Are you always a bridesmaid and never a wealthy widow? Then learn how to be a CLINGING VINE Slither very- close to escort. Pout demurely. Look him straight in the eye. Nestle closer. Look up at him with dreamy eyes and say, "Cripes, Elbert. Did I get a stinko mark in that sike quiz!"' Reddest face of the week: The sena tor who appointed Frank R. King, offspring of a Commander in the Navy, , to the Naval academy at An napolis. NOTE: FRK is a coed at the U. of Alabama. P. S. she refused. Chi Phi Organizes Chapter At Duke (Continued from first page) at the initiation are John Foushee, Mayor of Chapel Hill, J. Maryon Saun ders, secretary of the Alumni associa tion, and Roy Armstrong, Director of Pre-College Guidance. ; Among the pledges are the editor of the Duke Chronicle,a member of the staff of The Duke and Duchess, and three members of the Duke Rose Bowl team. ' McNinch To Speak On National Hook-Up (Continued fiom first page) Gilmore urged all students, professors and townspeople who plan to attend the program to be in Memorial hall by 8:20 in order that the coast-to-coast broadcast might begin promptly at 8:30 with as little noise and con fusion as possible. Following the address, members of the audience will take part in an open forum discussion with the speaker, asking any questions which pertain to his work in Washington. English Instructors Accept Positions (Continued from first page) an instructor.. He was formerly a member of the faculty of Washington State university, but received his MA., at the University. A student here nntil 1937, McCullen has been a graduate assistant since, but in his new capacity at the Uni versity bf Alabama, in Tuscaloosa, he will serve as an instructor. He re ceived his A.B. in 1935 and his M.A. two years later, both from the Uni versity, f . ' Student Party To Hold Bleeting (Continued from ffrst page) dents caU elections for the remainder as soon as possible. At their first meeting the represen tatives are expected to vote in town delegates. Any person elected as a representative who fails to attend any one meeting will be dropped from the convention rott. Britt also anounced a new policy which the Student party has adopted for this spring. Nominations for pub lication editorships will not be made in. any case until staffs have voted their choices. The party nominated two editorship candidates in advance of staff selections last year, and both suffered defeat in the campus elec tion. RIVAL GROUP As yet the rival party in the Uni versity's politics, the University party, has made no public indications of ac tivity. It was originally the "frater nity party," but last year voted in 13 non-fraternity steering committee members to the 25-man body. The Student party elected six cam pus officers last springs the presi dent and secretary of the student body, two class officers, a Student council member, and a member of the Publications union board. LAST YEAR. The University party swept in 19 officers 10 class officers, two Stu dent council members, two Publica tions, union' members, " two Athletic association officers, one publication editor, the head cheerleader, and one debate council member. Both parties endorsed the vice-president of the student body, two publi cation editors, and a member of the debate council. One independent, John Creedy, editor of the Carolina Maga zine, was elected. The Student council has not indi cated when it will call spring elections, but early April is usually voting time.
