Peace Pact
- Again, the peace pact between the student governing body of Kansas State College and the All Student Council of the University of Kansas has been renewed at the annual dinner. This occasion started with the original pact in 1931, which stipulated that it be renewed yearly to meet with changing conditions.
This is an example of constructive, co-operative action possible on the part of student governing bodies. It is an action that will cause more respect for those governing bodies and, in time, eliminate the idea some people have that such organizations serve no purpose.
Of course, some will say that such pranks as painting Uncle Jimmy Green break the routine of things. However, the pranks had grown so as to constitute actual vandalism and were no longer simple pranks.
It is to be hoped that now the Pioneer and Uncle Jimmy Green can continue their "at ease" positions atop their respective pedestals without fear of being doused periodically with varied hues of paint.
Repeal
On Nov. 2, the state of Kansas broke with a long standing tradition in a decisive manner. The people of the state, by a great margin, have voted to repeal the constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors.
The actual form of liquor control is now directly up to the legislature who should be able to cope with the problem in a satisfactory manner. The task should be eased for them because they can study the measures enacted in other states and avoid the pitfalls made by those states and pick out the good points.
There are several ways they can handle the problem. They can allow private sale, they can allow local option, or they can control the sale entirely through state-owned stores.
The first possibility, private sale, would be a drastic step for the state of Kansas with its long dry tradition. The plan of local option has been followed in some states but reports from those states indicate such a plan is sometimes worse than a uniform plan for the entire state. They find the bootlegger is still around, but operating on a smaller scale.
The use of state-owned liquor stores has many advantages and many disadvantages.
However, the people of Kansas have spoken, and in so doing, have placed a weighty problem before the state legislature that must be met at the next session.
Heard any new pollster jokes recently? At least since the one that says the pollsters are going to ask the Democrats to put a ceiling price on crow meat?
A nearby newspaper scribe maintains that his alma mater does not pay its football players. He must have been a foreign student.
Not only did the pollsters confuse us with a wrong prediction on the election, we also have to listen to corny jokes on the subject.
Dear Editor
Suicide Steps
Dear Mr. Mayor:
With school only eight weeks old, "suicide steps," located at the corner of 13th and Louisiana, have already claimed one victim. This student, probably a freshman unfamiliar with other routes to the campus, was returning from class when the law of averages caught up with him and he fell on the steps. Fortunately, his prolonged groans attracted someone in the Women's Faculty club, just across the street, and he was given first aid. He was luckier than most victims, however. He walked away from the scene of the accident. . . but not under his own power.
If you climb these steps twice a day, it would be a conservative estimate to say that your chances of going through the year without an accident are less than 50-50. And if you have made it through the first six weeks without a mishap, don't tempt fate by continuing this mad journey. Take another route.
Now, there are four possible solutions to this grave situation: (1) the steps could be avoided by detouring 10 blocks to Mississippi st., (2) students living east of the campus could quit school, (3) the University could give Purple Hearts to survivors and other suitable commemoration to the next-of-kin, or (4) the city could repair the steps.

Froshawks Amend New Constitution
Froshawks who speak out of turn at meetings will be fined 5 cents. The Froshawks in an effort to curb some of the boisterousness of club members, added this provision to their constitution at the Thursday meeting. Another amendment to their constitution provides for meetings on the first and third Thursdays of each month.
Freshman emblems were promised for the next meeting and $3 was collected from each member who will attend the K.U.-K. State game. All members were asked to be present at today's K.U.-M.U. freshman game.
