1 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN LAWRENCE, KANSAS PAGE TWO SUNDAY, MAY 7, 1989 Kansan Comment The Senior Class Of 1939 Presents-ideas tainted with so-called "Americanism" will have a rude awakening when they start comparing their teaching with the facts. A cooling system for the Memorial Union ballroom? Possibly. At least there has been some mention of it by members of the outgoing senior class. Undoubtedly students who enjoy hot music, but not hot weather when it comes to dancing, would appreciate such a gift. On the other hand, an air-conditioned unit would stand idle many months of the year. The foregoing suggestion was one of the many discussed by the gift committee of the senior class when it met yesterday. Final choice of a parting gift will be decided on tomorrow by the entire senior class. Whatever the gift, it should be one from which the whole student body could derive pleasure or benefit. Although some believe that as alumni, the senior class would prefer to come back and see their memorial complete in itself—something tangible as well as attractive. Others believe it more advisable to put the money in a fund and to start the ball rolling to promote some worthy and much needed addition. It has been suggested, for example, that the money be used to help buy the property north of Watkins hall, now occupied by the old Acceia house, as a site for the future men's dormitory. Because, the property would probably cost around $20,000, many seniors feel that their contribution would be a mere drop in the bucket. Other possibilities suggested have been reconditioning of handball courts that have lately begun to come apart, or the resurfacing of tennis courts. Still another suggestion has been to present the University with a set of powerful chimes as a substitute for the croupy whistle between classes. The Union building would happily accept money contributed to a new banquet room, and since the Pine room has been used for more dinners than meetings, the idea isn't a bad one. Last year there was much discussion among members of the senior class in the matter of selecting a suitable gift. Instead of just one meeting, several meetings were called. Many of them were poorly attended and little could be accomplished. While suggestions are as numerous this year as ever before, members of the class have thus far worked harmoniously. The meeting tomorrow will be each senior's last opportunity to voice his opinion, and the more seniors there, the more representative the gift will be. Going to Cakewalk? Sitting Room Only They aren't selling any more tickets to the Senior Cakewalk. There was a limit of 750 couples on the dance floor. And 750 customers—all University students—have planked down their $2. Besides, they had only 750 tickets printed And they won't have any more printed. They said they won't. Furthermore, if they let some of the "boys" buy tickets now, a lot of people who paid two bucks on the theory there would be room enough to dance will be mad. And they do not want to make anybody mad. Especially those who have already bought a ticket. So here is what you can do if you want to dance and haven't got your ticket. Buy a 50-cent spectator's seat. Then find some friends who would like to sit back and enjoy the music part of the time. Arrange to trade your seat stub for their dance floor stub. That way you will all get to dance part of the time instead of only a part dancing all the time. Don't think you can buy from a 'sealer.' There are no such vermin since the managers sold only one ticket to each customer. They said they did. So trading off is the only way. Because they aren't selling any more tickets to the Senior Cakewalk. Democracy Needs Truth, Not Dogmas Today one hears considerable comment on democracy. Various plans are offered for its propagation, one of the most recent and most undemocratic being the idea that our schools should be flooded with democratic propaganda by coloring history and "conditioning" a hatred for so-called "unAmerican" wavs. The idea of deliberately coloring history and cramming it down the throats of unsuspecting grade and high school students in as far removed from the ideals of democracy as those of the Nazi regime in Germany. Democracy implies a statement of truth, a willingness to seach for that truth, and a right to believe truth. "Colored" education is a direct slap at this concept. Not only is this type of education undemocratic, but it is the antithesis of effective education. High school students who have listened to the drive put out by teachers with It is sometimes said that the curse of this day and age is the cynical attitude of the educated younger generation. If this cynicalism is present—and, quite frankly, it is not too noticeable—it is partly the fault of the educational system. Perhaps students have discovered that not everything the teacher says is always true—that a good part of it was simply poppycock. The most effective way in which the United States can instill a love and respect for democracy into its youth is to teach them a desire for knowledge, a distrust of dogmas, and, above all, a love of truth. Oldsters need not fear that such an education will drive youth away from democracy, for democracy thrives and improves itself on truth. The problems of democracy as well as the advantages of democracy must receive equal scrutiny. Only an intelligent recognition of the complexities of a modern government can lead to the realization of a more perfect democracy. Hitler, it seems, is planning to swallow up Danizk next. The German city may look forward to jumping out of the frying pan into the Fuehrer. What's the use of manufacturing a lot of mutations? It all just goes up in smoke.
