Kansan Comment
Everyone Knows --is that it would entail a loss of life far greater than that which Poland has suffered. Not only the question of loss of life is weighing in the balance, but also the fate of western civilization which might or might not survive a war with modern weapons.
Everyone knows students have a way of tossing cigarettes lightly away—without looking or thinking.
Everyone knows that it doesn't take much to start a fire—a cigarette here, or a lighted match there, casily will do the job.
Everyone knows that many of the buildings on this Camps are firetraps.
Everyone, therefore, knows that students should not smoke in University buildings.
Their Sons Are Chips Off The Old Blockers
Like father, like son is an adage applicable today in the halls of Congress. While the European ping-pong game continues, with the responsibility for further war being deftly batted back and forth among European governments, the question of revising the American neutrality act is debated in the senate by famous sons of famous fathers.
Among these are Senator Robert M. LaFollette, Progressive of Wisconsin, who is opposing repeal of the embargo act and thus following in the footsteps of "Old Bob" LaFollette, who battled for American isolation in the last World War.
Senator Lodge, Republican of Massachusetts, is another congressman who is lined up in opposition to the lifting of the embargo. His grandfather helped lead a successful senate fight against ratification of the Treaty of Versailles.
Speaker Champ Clark of the House voted against entry of the United States in the World War. His son, Senator Bennett Clark, Democrat of Missouri, is working in the senate for maintenance of the present embargo.
Outside legislative halls, but with the influence of a national figure, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, in a radio address Friday night, defined and endorsed an embargo on "offensive weapons," Col. Lindbergh's father, Charles Augustus Lindbergh, a member of the house at the time of the first war, ruined his political career by refusing to support the war.
These father-son parallels may mean nothing more than that sons derive their political philosophy from their fathers. On the other hand it may be pointed out that those fathers were, for the most part, vindicated in public eyes in the post-war years. They were the men who realized beforehand and not afterward that participating in the European conflict would accomplish nothing.
War May Be Deadly But Fasting's Faster
Mahatma Gandhi is seventy. Although old and in poor health, he has retained royal potency in India's government. His method of control differs from the modern systems of violence.
The Indian saint's hunger-strikes far outweigh the bomb or machine gun. In years past, he has announced six times he would "fast unto death" unless his opponents accepted his social reforms. These six times he has lost weight, gained all his points, and lived on. Although the natives rebelled constantly against England, they did not achieve a small fraction of the results gained by Gandhi's fasts.
Gandhi does not gain prestige, and thereby followers, in living apart from his people. He has no special aides, no huge staffs of secretaries, or minister of propaganda. Neither does he have a mansion or a bullet-proof car covered with police. Devoted to the lower classes, the social reformer leads an ascetic life. All day he sits in his mud hut in deep meditation as he spins.
Gandhi's ways are ways of peace. And so long as he lives, his country will never experience a revolution of severe violence.
The death of no other world leader could toss a country into such a turmoil as would Gandhi's. A sincere affection buoys his popularity in place of fear or thought of mercenary gains. Not only does he charm his followers, but also he charms enemies. Unlike most leaders of a group he conducts his campaigns in such a way that his enemies learn to like him.
War Now Would Be To Avenge Poland
Poland has been raped. No one contests that. Neither is there any doubt as to the offender. The question resolves itself to this: what will happen next?
The answer to that question lies with those governments which now are pondering the relative gain of restoring Poland against the probable long run effects of a world conflict.
A war continued now would nominally be to avenge Poland. The probability of such a war
Governments of England and France are weighing this question with the added factor of national prestige to consider. Hitler, who now has backed his only called bluff with action, showed a willingness to defer hostilities when he indirectly urged President Roosevelt as a mediator.
In the meantime big drives on the war fronts await a final decision. It is possible now that the decision will be one which will end the war. It is more likely that each adversary by the decision will attempt to shift the final responsibility for the war.
It is a strange situation. Strange because few wars once started are delayed while governments discuss pro and con the relative merits of continuing or ending the conflict. Yet it is in this delay that the hope of peace lies. Concessions may yet be made by both governments.
In order to find a peaceful solution, however, it is necessary that each government define carefully the basis on which it will accept peace. That basis must of necessity be a compromise. Such a compromise will be, in the light of what has happened, at least a semi-victory for Hitler, which means acceptance of the fact that Poland cannot be re-established.
Nevertheless consideration of the ultimate effects of a second world war should be the determining factor on which a decision is made.

Slang Expressions Help Mold English Language
The American language, or English, as most people have it, is constantly changing. Every year the new dictionary pick up slang words that have come into general use and make them a part of the Ameri-

can language. For instance, several year ago, the "ain't" was frowned upon by all users of good diction. Rhetoric teachers tersely announced that there wasn't any such word in the dictionary. But they can't say that now, because the word has been used so much that most new dictionaryists have accepted it as part of the vernacular American language.

It is rather hard to stand up for student government at times, especially when one has the feeling that if any Hill politician were asked to stand up for it himself, he would be afraid to venture an opinion until after the party causes.

What the world needs is an umpire to adjust the British and German claims of these plane-versus-battleship battles.
Jimmy Robertson has a column called "Ten Degrees Below Rhetoric Zero" in the Sour Owl Monday, reminding us that when we remarked that the name was not so high-temperature, we were given some low-temperature stares.
A nickelodeon informs us that there isn't a ghost of a chance of seeing the man who wasn't there.
Plaint of a Coed

he saw his sister sit in the
fair. He didn't stare again today.
I guess I haven't said much.
As if to show how grades are made at Manhattan, the K-State Collegin reports that the students worried over the apple shortage.
We take back anything we may have said about politicians in this column. After all, the only trouble with them is that many of them take the saying "All's fair in love and war, and politics" literally.
Recently designed was a 4-bladed propeller for use on the high-speed pursuit aircraft of the army. This is reported to be the solution to the problem of the increasing power of airplane motors that called for larger props and consequently stronger landing gear.

O. K. P.D., N.G. and C.O.D. are all slang abbreviations that have been recognized by everyone. Baseball and other sports have given us such terms as "two strikes on him," "batting average," "put one across," "play ball," "penchant a winner," "own ball." Other terms come from various places. Beakers, and campus benches especially, have coined such phrases as "86," which means nothing, no good, or "We're out of it." "81" means one glass of water, "82" means two glasses of water, and so
Many of the terms we use and accept in Kansas would not be recognized in other parts of the country. Each section of the nation has its own colloquialisms and expressions.
