Driver Also Dependent On Ability of Others
A car whizzed by me on the highway yesterday afternoon. It was going at least 70. Without a warning of any sort it zoomed out of nowhere, past me in an instant, and soon was lost in the distance.
I didn't get a look at the driver. I was much too concerned with making sure something didn't go wrong. At that speed a single mismove would have meanf certain disaster for both of us. But no matter who the driver was, he was going too fast.
der who the driver was, he was going.
It isn't that he didn't have complete control of his car or his actions. It is that he was just as dependant upon my skill and reactions as he was on his own. He didn't take into consideration that many drivers possess wits which are much slower than his.
All of us who drive have noticed the same sort of thing. Perhaps it was the fellow who turned left out of the right hand lane thereby cutting straight in front of you. Maybe it was the guy who pulled out from the curb without first looking to see if the street was clear. Maybe it was something else.
But in any case, the driver failed to remember that the other morists might not be able to react quickly enough. He failed to remember that no matter how much control he had of his car, he should have also figured on the ability or lack of ability of the other drivers.
The guys who pay for the accidents caused by such unthinking actions as these are you and me. We pay in money and in lives. Maybe we have the money to spare but I know we don't have the lives to waste.-Joe Taylor.
The Maryland Diamondback, University of Maryland, thinks there is a subtle analogy between women and tobacco. It declares:
Comments . . .
HOW ABOUT YOUR TOBACCO?
"Sophomores want their women to be like cigarettes, slender and trim, all in a row, to be selected at will, set afame, and when the flame has subsided, discarded only to select another.
"A junior wants his woman to be like a cigar. They're more expensive, make a better appearance and last longer.
"A senior wants his girl to be like his pipe, something he becomes attached to, knocks gently but lovingly and takes great care of at all times."
FAREWELL . . .
A new ruling at South Dakota State College has replaced kissing at the door of the women's dormitory with a casual handshake.
"It isn't the idea to completely prohibit the traditional good-night kiss," says the dean of women, "but to curb half-hour demonstrations at the door."

Boycott Urged to End Discrimination
Dear Editor:
I have been amazed as I have read the recent articles which have appeared in the Daily Kansan about the action taken by Hill cafe owners in refusing service to Negro students.
They may be assured that we, together with many of our white friends, shall never stop the pungent cry against this psychological pestilence—prejudice!
I thought surely that here in Lawrence, where the seat of one of America's greatest universities is established, those in positions of authority could rise above the filth of injustice.
Students from Africa, China, and India will not give this disgraceful action little thought, but shall wonder at the validity of our democratic culture in the light of what they have seen.
At a time in our country's history when she is trying so desperately to win the faith and confidence of non-white peoples of the world, it is indeed shocking to find discrimination practiced against citizens of her own country solely because of their color.

It would be a fine step forward if the students of our campus were to join in an orderly protest or boycott for a week or more against this vicious action of Hill cafe owners who refuse to admit Negro students to their places of business.
All that we, the students of the University of Kansas, shall need to bring about the end of prejudice wherever we find it is indomitable courage, strong determination, and tenacity—always tenacity.

PBK Admits Negroes, Restaurants Refuse
Dear Editor:
We read in the Tuesday Daily Kansan that certain restaurant owners see no need for mixing Negroes and whites. If this attitude is correct, Negroes have no place in our University classrooms.
Do our organizations such as Ku-Ku's and Jay Janes do the wrong thing by including students of all races? Is it a disgrace that Negroes can be honored by being chosen for Mortar Board and Phi Beta Kappa?
How much more "mixing" can take place while eating in the same building than already occurs on the Hill?

Petition Indicates Student Sentiment
Dear Editor:
There seems to be quite strong opposition being put up by the owners of the four Hill restaurants who have been asked to open their doors to University Negro students.
One restaurant owner said he
This opposition has centered around the argument that "the students don't want it." The recent petition circulated around the campus seems to be a strong denial of this statement.
thought "some people will sign anything." However, I feel this petition was signed wilfully and with due consideration to its meaning. I believe that it is a true picture of the enlightened viewpoint of students of the University.
Mr. Clifton, owner of the Jayhawk cafe, said "I have nothing against them myself." But he can see no need for mixing Negro and white students in his eating place. I should like to say that the need lies in our fulfilling our duties as Christians and as students of a progressive university to correct some of the conditions which exist against the colored people of our country.
college freshman Lloyd L. Kirk
It would seem that the problem of eating places for Negroes is the most pertinent one facing us right now and should rightfully be the place to start.
Student Decries Shearer's Ideas
In Monday's Daily Kansan Mr. Shearer gave fair proof of why FACTS members on the All Student Council voted against his approval as a justice of the Student court.
FACTS proposes to give the students open-minded justices. With his store of preconceived ideas, how could Mr. Shearer be open minded? He openly states that he opposes coops. Co-ops are only a way of living while attending school; yet they seem to pain Mr. Shearer.
Dear Editor:
Upstream is a magazine which gives struggling young writers an opportunity to publish something before leaving the University. "Supress it!" yells Shearer. The president of both Pachacamac and NOW were on the Upstream staff this year, but Mr. Shearer says FACTS is "highly dependent" upon its support.
His narrow-mindedness and confusion are quite obvious. Appoint him to the Student court? Let's hope he still has that registration ready.

Oregon Presidential Primary Operates Under Unique Laws
Oregon's place in the preferential primary parade comes up Friday and true to the heterogeneity that marks this phenomenon of American politics, the Beaver state has a twist all of its own.
Oregon operates under two separate primary laws. No one, so far as the record shows, has asked how or why this came about.
In 1915 a law was passed requiring candidates for the delegation to the national convention to vote according to the people's choice, consistent with the popular vote of the primary. A prior law, passed in 1905, was forgotten. This law placed no such restriction on convention delegates.
But eight candidates filed under the earlier primary law, and three of them appear assured of winning. These three are avowed Taftsmen. Though the senator from Ohio loses popularity contests, he seems expert at accumulating delegates, and these are the voices that nominate presidential candidates.
Earlier this year, Taft requested his name be left off the Oregon ballot. Eisenhower is the probable victor, and under the 1915 law, could count on the entire Oregon delegation.
Oregon, like New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania, is an important political stepping stone to the convention in Chicago. It might lead to the White House or to the elephant's graveyard of political has-beens.-Chuck Zuegner.
On the Democratic side in Oregon, Sen. Estes Kefauver looks like a shoo-in over Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who has denied his availability for the nomination, and Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson, who has openly supported Kefauver.
