PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER 24,1939 Kansan Comment Vote on Neutralitv All University students should be vitally concerned with the present Congressional discussion of Neutrality. To find out the opinion of college students, the University Daily Kansan is printing a ballot in this issue to allow you to vote upon the possible changes in the neutrality act. We ask you to mark X in the propositions you favor, sign your name, and deposit the ballot in one of the Kansan boxes. This public opinion poll will be forwarded to Congress to exert at least a small influence on neutrality legislation next week. An alive and enlightened public opinion is necessary in a democracy. Cash-And-Carry Neutrality Can Congress repeal or modify the present mandatory arms embargo without drawing the United States into the European war? Extreme isolationists shout, "NO," but they absent-mindedly fail to recall that at the present time American's ships are on the sea carrying cargoes including everything but the actual arms, munitions, and implements of war. Such ships are in imminent danger of being sunk. The present arms embargo act ignores the record of the past war where contraband lists grew by include practically every article of commerce. Food and scrap iron are of more interest to belligerents than the actual war implements the United States might splay. The prevailing attitude in Washington seems to indicate that the United States' isolationist policy as exemplified by the present neutrality act will either be repealed or modified to sanction the shipping of arms and munitions. Congress is treading on thin ice, but the dollar sign and common sense compete with the "Danger" warning of the Borah one-track isolationists. The one alternative, the only practical suggestion that would allow the United States to have it's cake and yet remain in a position to eat it in comparative peace, was advanced in the early part of the summer by Secretary Hull. Briefly, Hull urged legislations that would permit this country to sell anything—munitions, foodstuffs, airplanes—to belligerents, provided they pay cash for their purchases, call at our ports and remove the cargoes in their own ships. There is an old axiom to the general effect that if one is rash enough to stick out his chin, some one may plant a haymaker on it. The present neutrality plan certainly comes under such a category. Hull's cash-and-carry, general store plan, was discarded by a session-weary Congress in favor of the supposedly strict neutrality act now in existence. The present special session of the United States Congress is giving careful consideration to the feasible cash-and-carry neutrality policy which would open our market to all comers and yet protect American shipping. College Coking On the Hill Drinking from one to ten cokes a day is as much a part of college life as saddle shoes and finals. The coke custom is the American collegiate substitute for afternoon tea, it is the excuse for relaxation and conversation. Everyone orders a coke, plain or flavored, usually from lack of originality, force of habit, or because it's his favorite drink. Hill "jelly joints" cater to this nickel trade from breakfast time to closing hours. Loud music from the nickleodeon, the smell of frying hamburgers, the ever-present marble machines, and trays full of cigarette butts characterize these gathering places. After a hard morning in the class-room, the booth-dwellers return to their habitat feeling at ease with the familiar wooden support behind them. No true 'jeller' ever sits at a table in the middle of the floor, only booths give him that protected feeling. Hill slanguage originates over a quiet afternoon coke. Date expenses are cut to a minimum by the easily arranged coke date. Politics and reputations are daily run through this college gossip mill. If every nickel spent coking were put in a pig-bank by each college student, college would be a much less amusing place. Don't Forget Wassermann Tests Watkins hospital is offering free Wassermann tests to all students. This is the second year that such a service has been offered, and though these tests are given on a volunteer basis every person on the University campus should avail himself of the opportunity. The past year has seen a nationwide growth of interest and discussion of the importance of stopping syphilis. Federal funds for fighting venereal diseases has been increased from $2, 000,000 to $5,000,000. The Wassermann tests given on our campus are a part of the movement, and for the Hill's campaign to be successful each student must take an individual responsibility. The system of administering the tests at the hospital involves no red tape or publicity. All that is necessary is the making and keeping of an appointment. Students should consider the fact that one out of ten persons is exposed to syphilis at some time during his lifetime, and avail themselves of the chance of knowing the truth at least while in college.

Tradition vs. Privacy- Dear Daily Kansan; The residents of the southeast side of the Hill are thinking much of the late Mrs. Watkins these days to be in touch with students at the school and permitting student pedestrians to go the short way to school through her grounds. She often was asked if the student would like to walk to the school. Reply was that she enjoyed seeing and hearing them go; it made her feel more in touch with the school and their community. But now the grounds are in other hands and the pedestrian gates are closed and locked. The folks who are around them must be careful not to demurate around it. They are grumbling a little and consoaling themselves with the thought that they will get used to it. It is after all a small matter, but the walk through Walkin's was a tradition and traditions don't change. We have all the respect in the world for the new occupant of Mount Oread's mansion, but we feel that his popularity would be greatly enhanced by the unbooking of south gate. ONE WHO DISLIKES DETOURS.

ON THE OFF B-E-A-T By Roderick Burton Until 1913 Lawrence streets bore the name of early American patricts. Orientation week is becoming less confusing. Only one freshman was reported to this department as being lost because he got out of sight of a line. The man who sits on the Green hall steps and whistles at the passing fancies tells us that the enrollment figures are better than last year. A dispatch from Paris to the New York Times states that the Poles made some tactical errors in this military defense. One must not, perhaps, concludes — perhaps they they're still saving their army for a rainy day. The best thought-clarifier we've read this week is the editorial in the Sept. 20 New Republic entitled "Force and Idols." The column has underestimated the German menace. The ultimate has happened, and to our view-with-alarmer friends, we apologize. Germany, we regret to say, has just won the international chess tournament. The weather reports from Europe and Canada are no longer being passed by the censors. Maybe they're the Germans will do something about it. Freshman Debate Hearings To Be Held October 10 The question for freshmen debate tryouts to be held Tuesday, Oct. 10 at 7:30 is "Resolved that the student should own and operate railroads." Aspirants to the freshman debate squad will be judged on a five minute constructive speech on either side of the question. Judges will be members of Sigma Delta Rho, honorary forensic fraternity. Anyone without previous debating experience is eligible to try out for the freshman debate squad, regardless of classification. E. C.
