Thought For The Day—
"Bigotry has no head and cannot think, no heart and cannot feel." —Daniel O'Connell.
Our 1951 Resolutions
Once again a new year is upon us and we feel the urge to turn over a new leaf, as the saying goes.
over a new fear, as the saying goes.
Despite the fact that 1951 began with an all-out attack by the Chinese forces in Korea and at present looks a bit gloomy for the United Nations forces, we feel that there is yet hope in the world that World War III may be avoided.
With a spark of this same hope, we have made our New Year's resolutions.
We hereby resolve:
1. To try to live each day in such a manner that if our actions were suddenly made universal standards of morality, mankind would benefit. (We hope Kant pardons the paraphrase). We hereby resolve: To try to live each day in such a manner tha
we hereby resolve: To try to live each day in such a manner that 2. To fight and expose racial or religious discrimination of any kind wherever it may be.
3. To do whatever we can to tell the truth in all cases where myths, superstitions, lies, or distortions are injurious to humanity, individually or collectively.
4. To work for peace and help take the profit and the false glory out of war.
5. To expose hypocrisy in all its shapes and forms.
We had thought of adding a few sarcastic remarks on various topics, but decided to save them for future editorials.
We trust that these few resolutions are given life and force by the actions of our readers. Perhaps then we may live through 1951 in peace and be proud to be members of the human race. J. A. B.
The Ohio Wesleyan Transcript reports that "more and more small colleges in this area may be forced to the night sport, for even the most loyal backers of small college football, the students, prefer the video 'game of the day' to cheering for their alma matters."
Supporting their contention, the paper pointed out that thousands crowded around TV sets to watch Ohio State play Michigan in 1949, while only 74 rooters turned out to see Ohio Wesleyan and Otterbein play on the same day.
The Daily Texan has come up with the idea that student honorary scholastic groups should do more than just decorate their members' watch chains. The Texan suggests that these groups set up a student tutorial service. Members of the honoraries could offer student-to-student help to those on scholastic probation. The paper advocates setting several library nooks or Union cubbyholes aside for tutoring purposes, and having each member of an honorary keep one hour a week to tutor students who need help.
Families Fight Over Name
Richmond, Va.—(U.R.)—Thirty-two families squabbled among themselves and with city and postal officials here wanting a change in the name of their street. They finally proposed Harmony Lane.
This Rooster Is Elusive
Piggott, Ark.—(U.P.)Roy Morrow says the rooster daoer and led his son-in-law a 13-lap chase around the barn before it ended up on the dinner table.
Little Man On Campus
"It's a real challenge to out-fumble this guy for the check."
The Public's Pulse
A Very Short List
In order to make the phrase "Today Lawrence! Tomorrow the World," a little more hopeful to the minority groups of this town, I should like to suggest a course of action.
Perhaps the editor of the Kansan could assign one of its reporters to canvass Lawrence's restaurants and places of amusement and find out which of these still reserves the right to refuse equal rights to anyone because of race or color. Following this survey, a list of restaurants etc. which serve any person regardless of their skin pigmentation, could be periodically published in the Kansan in order that those students who have an opinion on the subject could patronize the restaurants whose policies regarding discrimination coincide with their own. Perhaps this course of action would be putting the Kansan in a biased position but it is my belief that favoritism in the direction of a democratic way of living is a good thing.
Of course this would arouse much antagonism because it represents an attempt to change the "old ways," but look at the pickle our country is in now because of persistent blind pursuit of the "old ways."
