PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1944 THE KANSAN COMMENTS Does One Attitude Type a Person? Why are personalities so much a part of what they believe? Why do we pigeon-hole the people we know as socialistic, democratic, or pious, and let it go at that? Can one word describe a person's attitude? If you do not agree with someone's attitude, must you necessarily be against everything he says or does? For a possible theme for Religious Week, to be observed next month, it was suggested at a meeting here that servicemen, especially those stationed overseas, have a growing indifference to organized religion. Somebody remembered reading or hearing that opinion expressed in various ways recently. Some servicemen have written their religious experiences, some ministers have sensed the trend from the church to a more personalized religious feeling, and some laymen who have visited combat areas have remarked about it. The article in last week's Time was mentioned, and suddenly the trend of the argument changed. A leader in the group had heard the name of Dr. Poling, and that was the end of that. She didn't care to hear any more about it. Because Dr. Poling has stood for the principle of popularizing the church to suit the people, not even any facts he discovered on his tours of the world's battlefronts held any weight with her. His opinions had not been mentioned until she spoke up. The mere possibility of discussing the servicemen's problem had been considered, but because of prejudice against the man, his facts were thought useless. Who could know more about the servicemen overseas than one who had lived with them, talked to them, and comforted them, Dr. Poling had quoted actual comments from the men themselves. Would he, the president of the World's Christian Endeavor Union, have any reason to misrepresent the situation? Could not his discoveries be accepted as near the truth, at least? The group leader must have thought something like this: Dr. Poling believes in popularizing the church, I do not believe in it, therefore I do not believe anything Dr. Poling says. She was making his one attitude stand for all of them. Too many people indulge in shallow thinking of this sort. This attitude was immortalized in a jingle written long ago: I do not like thee, Dr. Fell. The reason why I cannot tell, But this I know, and know full ... I do not like the, Dr. Fell. She had no reason to dislike Dr. Poling. She had never met him, yet his name alone could make her shut her mind to further statement. Prejudice? Stubbornness? Narrow-mindedness? All these names would fit, but shallow thinking is the real trouble—R.T. To Argue Demobilization Of War Industry on KFKU Dean Frank T. Stockton, of the School of Business, Dr. R. S. Howey, professor of economics, and Leland J. Pritchard, assistant professor of economics, will discuss "How Should War Industry Be Demobilized?" on the KFKU Round Table at 9:30 Friday night. This discussion is the second of four programs dealing with post-war problems to be given this month. Women Collect Spider Webs One of the jobs of the women in the British auxiliary service is to collect spider webs for use in precision sighting instruments. Rock Chalk Talk BY MARY MORRILL Reviving Lazonga: If Val Ashby, Battenfeld, Lewis Goyette, 1129 Louisiana, and an ASTP who operates incognito, could only get together, the world might at last know what it is about Marg Geiger, Jolliffe, that prostrates most members of the stronger sex. On three successive nights these men escorted Marge; and during the evening each made a crash landing on the ice which decapacitated his dignity, etcerta for the rest of the week. The Hill is not to be surprised when thirty some Theta actives, looking more or less as if a high pressure Fuller brush man had been camping on their door step for a week, appear some morning in neatly tied black and gold checkered shoe laces. These oddities were discovered in a down town store by Theta freshmen Elaine Wells and Frances Lawrence, who marveling that shoe laces should be in the Theta colors, bought up the entire supply. Now, - * * (Here follows a description of Mr. Peterson's petition in which he contests the constitutionality of Bill 11 and Miss Schaefer's elegibility to set on the council, which is omitted.) Mr. Clarence Engle appeared before the court on behalf of Miss Schaefer in answer to the charges of Mr. Peterson presented the following arguments: I. That the Student Court has no power to decide the pending question or jurisdiction over the case, II. That the student court sitting alone does not have original jurisdiction in cases involving interpretation of legislation, III. That Miss Schaefer is not a member of the Student Council within the meaning of Article VI, Section 3. We shall consider these contentions in the order named. It is Mr. Engle's plea that by virtue of the constitution, the circumstances surrounding the acceptance of the constitution, and the intention of the members of the Student Council, the student court may not declare bills of the Student Council unconstitutional and that therefore, the said Bill 11 must be upheld as a proper exercise of authority by the Council. Mr. Engle alludes in particular to Section 4 of the judiciary Article which states in general terms the scope of the jurisdiction of the student court: "The Student Court sitting with the faculty advisory committee shall have final decision in all matters of interpretation of legislation of the all Student Council. The Student Court sitting alone shall have jurisdiction over all other Scurlock Writes Court Decision The decision of the student court in reference to the elegibility of Virginia Schaefer has been recorded by John Scurlock, second year law student. with that persistence found only in freshmen, they are selling them at a profit to their actives. We, the present justices, are the first court appointed under the new Constitution. By virtue of the issue before us, the resolution of the respective take powers of the Student Council and of the student court in regard to the constitution and the legislation enacted thereunder is imperative. Whatever course is chosen, this decision, by the nature of its scope, will bind all future courts existing under this constitution. The Red Cross should try it: Machinist's Mates who have been sticking their heads in the bacteriology lab and offering Florence Harris and Kathryn Pees blood for their experiments will do well to give Snow hall a wide berth in the future. The girls think they are becoming devitalized on account of using so much of their own blood, and have made elaborate plans to surprise the next sailor who offers his corpuscles, knock him over the head with a baseball bat, and drag him on in. Justice John Scurlock; **** So much—shot: During a tense scene in "Men from Down Under" at the Jayhawker, a bottle slipped from someone's pocket in the balcony, and the sound of slithering glass plus a saddening gurgle, gurgle, gurgle resounded through the theater. Elmer F. Beth, acting chairman of the department of journalism, will leave this evening for Chicago where he will represent the University of Kansas at a meeting of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism and of the National Council on Professional Education for Journalism. The conference will be held Jan. 13 to 15 in the LaSalle hotel. Beth Represents KU At AASDJ Meeting Professor Beth will take part in a news and editorial panel Friday afternoon. In addition to panels and round-tables which have been planned, a number of well known authorities on journalism will address the group on the problems of war-time publications. Review of 'Huckleberry Finn To Be Given Over KFKU Mark Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," one of the most widely read books of American literature, will be discussed on KFKU's "Living Books" program at 9:30 o'clock this evening. Participants in the discussion will be John B. Virtue, department of English; Henry Werner, adviser of Men; and Allen Crafton, department of speech and drama. It is his explanation of the first clause that the committee in charge of drawing the constitution wished to deprive the student court of the power to declare acts of the Council void by emphasizing herein the Court's single paramount power, the authority to interpret legislation of the Student Council, in contradistinction to the ordinary powers of the court; that this clause considered in the complete absence of any statement in the Constitution in regard to the questioned authority of the Court necessarily implies that the student court does not have the authority to invalidate this bill or any other bill of the Student Council. Stated more concisely, Mr. Engle presents that the said clause is to be construed as a limitation upon the powers of the court. cases and shall sit in closed session in such cases as are designated by law . . .
