Business of Universities To Teach 'Isms'
February seems to be the open season on "red" bugs. Last year at this time an investigation was urged by the Kansas House of Representatives about the "red" situation on Mount Oread. Now, only a year later, the University of Oklahoma is a target for the same kind of misdirected criticism. The governor and legislature of Oklahoma are out "red" hunting on the Norman campus.
"The most worthy and always reliable Associated Press tells us the University of Oklahoma is on the gridiron for teaching Communism. It ought not to be. It is the business of universities to teach Communism. Dittos: Fascism, Bolshevism, Socialism, Mormonism, Mesmerism, Republicanism, and What-have-youism—without fear or favor. All of that; no more than teach, we mean. The sin is in showing favoritism for any ism. Faculty and student body fealty and favoritism are due Americanism.
"Knowing President Bizzell and his institution as we do, we accept stories emanating from Norman with the proverbial grain of salt. Just as we question from time to time accusations against Chancellor Lindley, Professor Flint, Dr John Ise and others of K. U.
"Teaching is like publishing. Some well meant but misdirected patriots think that every statement uttered that doesn't set well on their stomachs should be censored. Some individuals would have any amy ism they disapprove mentioned only in derisive, abusive, not to say false terms.
"Such would be educational slavery per se. That course would make Americans the most bigoted, benighted people in the world if applied to our educational institutions.
"All of which doesn't say by any reasonable interpretation that there aren't teachers in O. U., K. U., and other schools who may be abusing their privileges and peregatives under the most benevolent government in all the world. We do say with emphasis though, that America must not burn its house to rid the premises of a few rats.
While Statesmen Rant, News-Reel Marches On
"Better a thousand times to have extra liberties taken by college professors than allow the palsied hand of partisan politics to enfeeble our institutions of learning. Our advice to Governor Phillips is to be very sure he is right before taking drastic action against the fine university of his state."
If newspapers were run as news-reels are, the readers might have to depend on something like the following for the news of the day.
Foreign affairs: British royalty at horse race. King of Albania decorates Siam's unknown soldier. Countess di Fatos is welcomed to New York by Grover Whalen. Ten thousand more pilgrims visit the Vatican. Ten thousand Russians do their callisthenics. Picture stateman saying: "Something has got to be done."
National affairs: Rodeo in Wyoming. Cornshucking contest in Iowa. W.C.T.U. meets at Primrose, Kan. Picture of an unidentified statesman saying: "Something ought to be done."
Education: Lew Lehr personally demonstrates kinship of man to his ancestor, the monkey. Robert Wadlow, eight-foot giant, goes to college. Princeton Triangle Show. Picture of an anonymous statesman saying: "Something must be done."
Personalities: Max Lewinstein of the Bronx wins $544,327 (minus $298,298.98 for taxes) in Irish Sweepstakes. Doris Duke builds a pretentious home in Hawaii. The Dione quintuplets play with toy tinkers. Picture of some statesman saying: "Something must be done."
The Arts: Models showing off bathing suits, Chinchilla coats, and hats with beth-ehives on top. New foreign star, Lela Bela-Lara, arrives at New York to play Sadie in Metro-Gigantic's colossal saga of the North—"Saskatchewan Sadie." Picture of a statesman saying: "Something has got to be done."
Labor: John L. Lewis snarls and William Green looks demur. Picture of an unnamed statesman saying: "Something had better be done."
War. Germany MOBILIZES for war. Picture of Hitler. America PREPARES for peace. Picture of statesmen. Picture of more statesmen. Picture of yet more statesmen. "Something must be done."
Response of Independents Will Make I.S.A. Success
The Independent Student Association today starts a membership drive. For one dollar, the unaffiliated students on the Campus are offered two informal three-hour dances, one semi-formal dance during the I.S.A. national convention which will be held on the Campus March 30 and April 1, and the privilege of participation in other I.S.A. activities.
For a long time the need for an independent student's organization that would make non-affiliated students feel more a part of the University has been felt. Such an organization can enlarge the opportunities for the social entertainment of independent students many times.
The pioneer work of the organization has been done. A nucleus has been formed. All that is necessary now is the response of the independent students.
Explanation of Foreign Policy Would Stop Rumors
The need for clarification of Roosevelt's foreign policy has become apparent with the President's issuance of a statement terming "a delibereate lie" the report that he had told the senate military affairs committee that "our frontier today lies in France."
The statement in question may or may not have been made by Roosevelt. It is significant that he did not back down on the other things he was reported to have told the senate committee in a "secret" conference, and he may have quite easily conveyed the thought that the defense of France was essential to that of the United States (or "democracy") without, however, saying so in so many definite, quotable words.
But that is beside the point. The fact demonstrated by the incident is that the American people do not understand Roosevelt's foreign policy, which has never been clearly explained. In their attempts to understand it, they arrive at some conclusions, which, according to Roosevelt, are "bunk."
It is not to be supposed that the American people will forget entirely about the United States' foreign policy, and will quit, therefore, their attempts to find some general principle that is the basis of his policy.
Until the President takes secrecy out of his foreign policy and explains what it is, "mistaken impressions" and "deliberate lies" will persist. The President can, if he desires, eliminate other rumors before they start by a definite clarification of his policy.

'Why I Hate Men!'-- Michigan Coed Tells All
(Editor's note: Marian Phillips, a freshman at the University of Michigan, created a furor on the campus of that northern college recently when an article by her entitled "Why I Hate Mon," appeared in "Perspectives," the literary magazine of the university.
By Marian Phillips. University of Michigan
This silly, insineree, unlady-like juvenile, and pseudo-sophisticated attack on the college men of Michigan is neither humorous nor in good taste. And although the Kannas are not cognit of conditions at all, they still play a young lady's act is unfair, untrue, unwarranted, and un-American.
We do know, however, that the accusations and charges' which Miss Phillips flings so carelessly at the young men of Michigan could never be made against the men students of Mount Ouencar. With on exceptions, Ms. Phillips will use class airtiee, hard-working, courteous, and chivalrous.
As for Miss Phillips, we feel that she is out of place in a university; she should be taking a post-graduate course in some high school, brushing up on domestic science. The cynical and prejudiced viewpoint which the Michigan college student displays is out of place when compared to the idealistic and ethical motives that permeate the minds of college men.)

They hate salads because someone told them they should.
They say they hate sentiment and they dissolve into marshmallow whip at the mention of the word "Mother." They utter every word as though God himself had put it into their mouths.
