Do We Celebrate Or Not?
Chief topic of conversation in both the intellectual and gossiping groups this week has been the problem of that odd day between Sunday, July 2, and Tuesday, July 4. It has been accorded all the attention and thought usually reserved for such subjects as war, death, taxes, politics and associated questions.
Petitions have been circulated in many of the classes this week to which a large number of students have affixed their names. The petitions state solemnly that inasmuch as Sunday and Tuesday are holidays it is pretty silly to go to school on Monday. There is some meat and merit to the prposition for if Monday were also declared a holiday it would enable many of the students to have a brief vacation at home from Saturday afternoon to Wednesday morning.
But there is another side to the problem. During the winter session a day, more or less, isn't very important. There are other days to make up for the time lost. But in the abbreviated summer session every minute counts and a little old 24-hour day carries more weight.
It is not up to us to reason why. We'll do or die regardless of whether school keeps on the third of July or not. If they see fit to give us the extra day moratorium we'll rejoice along with 99 per cent of the rest of the students. If they decide it would be best to go to school, we'll see the point and go ahead and cut none of the classes.
But if the powers that be could read our mind and wanted to make us very, very happy, they could save the state a lot of money by not using up any coal to make steam to blow the whistle along about Monday, July 3.
It's a Remarkable World
This is a remarkable world we live in. For centuries people fought wars and seemed almost to enjoy them. It was an honor to die in the ranks. It was an honor to kill people who thought that they should be allowed to live where they had been born without being persecuted by some invading army.
Then the world fought a war to end wars. People actually began to see the ridiculous and tragic sides of this old international pastime. One could almost say that the world was benefiting by its past experiences.
Practically no one now interviewed would say they wished a war. The old idea of honor and glory is being deflated. This is most true as regards the comparatively propaganda-free democracies. But in any country the thought of war is abhorrent to the majority of individuals.
That far we have progressed. We no longer want war. But now we must find how to avert it. Nobody wants to fight but nobody knows how to avoid it without giving in to every selfish demand made by autocratic nations, or democracies.

The Place?
THE PALACE CAFE
1008 Mass.
The secret seems to lie in the susceptibility of the human mind to mass stimulation and an almost pathetic belief in anything printed on a press. The sound of a band; the rush of one or two people to enlist coupled with a few cartoons picturing the enemy as a monster and a few front page stories of atrocities conceived by a copy-starved editor and a nice bloody war is well on its wav.
International legislation has failed to end war. Partly because of lack of adequate police power and partly because of nations unwilling to cooperate to the extent that they themselves are endangered. The solution apparently does not lie here.
Perhaps one day the psychologists and sociologists will know enough of mass behavior to regulate it. Then the bands and the fictional atrocities and the cartoons will not have their disastrous present effects.
Nobody wants war but nobody knows how to avoid it. Almost like death—in a lot of ways.
CAMPUS OPINION
MORE JULY 3 AGITATION
Editor, Summer Kansan:
Editor, Summer Kansai!
I am of the opinion that the suggestion in the article opinion column accompanying a holiday on the third of July is an excellent one. This would give everyone four days vacation and would in no way interfere with the number of class periods.
The suggestion seems to be agreeable to everyone with whom I have talked. I am sure that all of us would appreciate favorable action by the University authorities!
R. L. KELLEY.
Editor, Summer Kansan:
I would like to add my endorsement to the letter of W. A. Hudson of the last issue of the Kansan. I believe that this would serve as a break in the term of the summer session that would do the students a lot of good. This would allow those who live some distance from the University a chance to return home for a visit without endangering their standing in their various classes. I have no doubt also that some of the instructors would welcome an opportunity to kind this. I am for it even.

Now that the band camp has started Bob Lucey is clear out of this world. In four years he hasn't been able to get a date at the A. O. Pi house but now the girl high school musicians are living there and he's really havin' a whirl.
Saw Howard Engleman of the hempen hair the other day and was much relieved to find that he isn't going to attend summer school. If ever the name "Rope" applied to

A Cool Place to Eat
Did you notice the dent in Mr. Wiley's head in the last issue of the S. S. Kansan? That wasn't caused by a headache over the band camp. Somebody handed our quick-on-the-trigger editor a hot slug of type and he slammed it on the bandman's cut, Yeah, I know that wasn't the only thing wrong with that front page. (Editor's Note: We noticed that too. Maybe this column shouldn't go on the front page.)
You'd think there would be something naughtycal about a column in the S. S. Kansan but not the way they censor this thing.

Thoughts while strolling through a cemetery: This place is going to plot; wonder if they measure these things by the grave yard; it sure is dead around here; the ghosts go by tomb by tomb; wonder if cemeteries have
hang-overs after having all those spirits every night.
