PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY. JANUARY 20, 1930 Kansan Comment Campus Opinion EDITOR'S NOTE. The editors are not responsible for opinions or facts given in the letters published in this column. All authors and all letters must be signed, although the name will be withheld if the writer desires. Protesting Those Who Protest the Protest Editor, Daily Kansan: It is not surprising that in the present march down the road to war, arrayed with those who learn nothing from history and those who foment war for its own sake, are Campus representatives of a yellow and discredited press, a few lily-livered sissy-prizzes who now and then, disconciolately and with trepedom, breathe another dying gasp into the already prostrate student newspaper. They perhaps are journalists—at least in the present usage of the word—though James Gordon Bennett would be as loath to permit such a classification as would his modern successor, Heywood Brown. Every inclusion of them in "the fourth estate" must fairly parish in Lusty Scrips' or Lincoln Steffens' grave. The Kansan's staff—with a few significant exceptions, such as the present editor-in-chief, Associate Editor Burton; two red-heads, John Randolph Tye; the most read man on Mount Ourea, and his new character, Sincirity; and former Editor-in-Chief Adrian C. E. H. S. Bailly, Chemical Laboratories "Er Stenks." Every opportunity since the threatened "red" investigation to take a courageous stand on any significant Campus issue has been carefully avoided. The Supreme Court tells the state of Missouri to offer equal educational opportunities for a Negro student, and not a word of comment comes from the Kansan about our own discriminations and inequalities. Chancellor Lindley resigns and the most the Kansan will do to voice sentiment regarding the choice of his successor is repoke it (a da monte call to Kansan's 'Kansas' Number One Citizen) with the inevitable "it does not reflect the opinions of the editors of the Kansan." A teachers' union to restore pay cues is skipped in the bud and blown to bits—no comment from the Kansan. Therefore it is not surprising that the same sacred rabbits, who dhill out if it wasn't for the journalism department and who are still tossing cards into a hat an hour before "press time," are willing to stand by while America once again turns down the road to war. DAVID W. ANGEVINE. Editor, Dany Kansan: Protecting Nothing in General Editor: Delia Kavaney Twenty-five students (liberal thinkers no doubt) and a Bible instructor protest against the proposed flying school here. That didn't surprise anybody. In them they hadn't told of people would have been surprised. Then the breakfast club, in fun of course, protest against these protesters . . . and Till wager the perpetual protestors will protest against being protested by those officers, Mr. Editor, I think you'll be flooded with letters. Sometimes when we curl friends the P. P.'s run about the Campus with petitions, etc., protest against this and that, we feel like telling the folks out at Hardin, Mont., that even if we can't send them Comanche, we do have 25 very nice stuffed specimens for them. But I won't say it because I feel sure the P. P.'s would protest in all seriousness. And that's the trouble with too many people today—they too are serious. A good laugh is better than a good protest any day. Or is there any difference? ID LIKE TO KNOW THE BREAKFAST CLUB BETTER Protesters Protest Back Like the proverbial ostrich, the so-called journalists who protested against the protesters in yesterday's Kansan are keeping their heads carefully covered with sand so that they won't see the real implications of the Army's plan to locate an air school at Kansas University. The only argument they put forward in favor of the plan to train cannon cannon at K.U. is that it is "progressive." Now if training cannon fodder is "progressive," it's quite timid time on things as music, social media, stunting and literature and go a big way. Rifles with bayonets wouldn't be much more expensive than textbooks and they'll be a lot more effective in dispatching a Hun the next time we go on a crusade to save the world again. The real issue remains: Should a University be a place to train youth in cultural and scientific knowledge in order to better the welfare of mankind, or shall it become a branch of the war machine, whose purpose is destructive. We believe that any type of militarism in the University is imical and incompatible with the real purposes of education. If the students of K.U. are not all deadheads, they should protest, not in dozens, but in thousands, against the cheanping of education by an encoaching militarism. And for those who are still naive enough to believe that this is a civilian venture, let them note:1) that civilian aviation is already overcrowded;2) that Mr. Roosevelt was unable to fly;3) that the best aviators are to go to Army schools for further training; and 4) that there is mention of giving the R.O.T.C. preference. Still Protesting, JOHN W. PIERCEY, BRENT CAMPBELL. Protests Protest Based on Childish Reasoning Editor, Daily Kansas; Eutter, Daily News The students and certain townpeople who oppose the projected flying training for students here at the University are obviously jumping at conclusions with little or no thought. Their reasoning is absolutely childish. If their wishes were carried out we would have to scrap the School of Engineering . . . engineers are most useful during a war; throw out the medical faculty . . . doctors come in mighty handy during a conflict; close the Fine Arts School . . . they write songs and draw posters, as they did in the last war; and so all around the Campus. from the Campus. Therefore you can see THEIR THINKING IS UT- All students should take advantage of every opportunity for physical and mental advancement . this is certainly one! TERLY FALLACIOUS! STUDENT FLIER Protests Anti-Anti Camplexes Editor, Daily Kangan* Editor, Daily Kansan: The dilettantes of the fourth estate find three objections to the protest of the Perpetual protesters to the air school proposed for our honorable, but power-stricken. University. First, they consider the objections raised are merely an expression of the "anti" complex in the authors. Well, journalists, we give YOU the right to your own opinions, even an analysis of our personalities. Criticism is always appreciated. Doubtless the two pseudo-literary-critics among your number appreciated the notoriety they earned for their "anti" anties in the past. Secondly, you claimed we did not represent the concensus of opinion on the subject. Did we claim to? But probably the CSEP students in Kansas who will return to their home town grocery store jobs so that the money can go to equip and train twenty aviators are among our number. And producers are being trained, not the Cursed Hunt are planning mass attacks on New York or Los Angeles might agree with us. You stated in your last "Wheres" that we "might see the light if it were pointed out to us." If any of you jaundiced journalists felt capable of shedding any light, you might have included it among your whereas's. However, I doubt if you parasites of a prostituted press can see far beyond the edge o your typewriter to appreciate other sentiments that those of a typical home-town booster. But I will await the gospel of the Seven Shirring Seps. A CONCIENTIUS CRITIC. L. S.A. Campus Opinion To End All C. O.'s Editor, Daily Kansas; Here is something you forget to print: So he sat down at the typewriter and said Susan Maloney, President of the LSA. a girl friend of mine LIKED by EVERYONE. had designed in his favor. And he gave that story to you, Mr. Editor, and you, being a good journalist no doubt, asked if it were true; and, being no journalist at all, he said it was not true. He said Susan, Susan never said such a thing. He even quoted her! Then Susan came into the Journalism building and was given an icy welcome—a jauce silence, in fact. Why? Because Small Fry is a heel (I didn't know this before yesterday. Before yesterday, I did some work for Small Fry in K.C. I was broke. Small Fry staked me to grab, liker, and rides between the big, bad town and Lawrence. He never tried to stomp my toes flat at any time. But our little man has changed, evidently. Or has he always been that way? I wouldn't know; I haven't known him very long). It is said (and you can believe it) that the aforementioned article was written several weeks in advance. Small Fry, Council--name your weapons. A bunch of unadulterated heels! A bunch of unadulterated heels! G. J. M. We have been unable to find anyone who has any grounds for that statement. "It's easier to keep up than to catch up." No one that we have found has ever kept up—so how is it known that it's easier? It is predicted that the result of the proposed air school will be to send both the pacifists and militarists up in the air.

Office of Lawrence, Kansas, office of Lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879. By Marilyn McHride, counsel In the recent selection of winners of Rhodes Scholarship, the University was represented by a rumors-up in the regional contest. Six Universities were entered in the state contest. University Has Sent Eight Ping Pong Battle Rhodes Scholars to Oxford In Gym Tonight Since the appointment of the first Rhodes Scholars in 1954, the University has sent eight students to tradition bound Oxford. According to the files in the alumni office, these men were Rhodes Scholars E. W. Murray, 1904; G. E. Purman, 1906; G. E. Meyer, 1923; E. S. Mason, 1919; R. M. Hower, 1923; B. B. Morgan, 1927; and Ray Miller 1935. Rhodes was not explicit about what he sought in Rhodes Scholars, but it is readily apparent from his own life purpose that he hoped to educate men who would become political leaders. In his will he gave these conditions in choosing students: (1) literary and scholastic attainment; (2) fondness of, and success in, many outdoor sports; (3) qualities of manhood, truth, courage; (4) exhibition during school days of moral force of character and "of instincts to lead." Rhodes Scholars in What's Who One thing is obvious after almost 40 years. In America the Scholarships have failed to produce national political leaders. Only 6.21% of the alumni are in government service, and almost all of those hold appointive rather than elective jobs. No member of the United States Cabinet or Senate has ever been a Rhodes Scholar. Those from the University are variously employed, and none of them live in Kansas. One is a controller, two are Harvard professors, and other professions included are marine insurance underwriter, journalist, and radio commentator. There are now approximately 900 and it's fn notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye Though Elliot Roosevelt has come out for Garner for the 1960 nomination, we refuse to accept this as the verdict of the Roosevelt family until "Sister" Dall has been heard from. We've only read Governor O'Daniel's poem, "Breathtiful Torta," once but for the sake of the people of Iowa. She is the latter governor than he is a poet. It's hard to concentrate on a professor's lecture when the person next to you spends 35 minutes of the class hour writing over and over again: "Now is the time for the bell to come to the aid of the party." The American Institute of Public Opinion lists two of Lloyd Douglas' novels among the 20 most popular books after taking an extensive poll of the American reading public. It takes more than education to wean the public from falling for kindergarten metaphysics. --former Rhodes Scholars living in the United States today. Few of them are rich and few of them are internationally famous, but they have probably given a better accounting of their talents than an equal number of men chosen at random from the alumni lists of Harvard and Yale. More than half of them are. Who is That Who? American Selected Kerry SAYS R.B.R. in the Garden City Telegram: This week's reports from Spain indicate France will win the civil war just in time to intercept that shipment of whent the U.S. sent to help the Loyalists hold on through a firewall. It will find it very convenient for distribution to a hungry people as concrete proof of how generous a Fascist government is to its subjects. After viewing pictures of some Peruvian girls, our wonder is not why the Pan-American congress didn't get more work done, but how it ever succeeded in getting a quorum to adjourn the meeting. Biennial Report— The School of Business at present is carrying on under such congested conditions that the only possible way for it to be relieved is to erect another building on the campus. The report indicated that on Friday Strong Hall allocated to the department are from untie- Continued from page 1 desirable, the report stated. The University of Kansas Rhodes Scholarship Committee is composed of A. T. Walker, chairman, professor of Latin and Greek; W. L. Burdick, professor of law; C. C. Crawford, professor of history and political science and Henry Werner, adviser of men. All University men who are considering becoming candidates for the Rhodes scholarship should be giving it some consideration this spring. One retired Rhodes Scholar said "There are advantages in spending that time abroad; in opportunity to detach from America next summer for a time. It's fun and it's free." As to office space, 25 men are now crowded into rooms suited to accommodate not more than 14 or 15. Need Education Building In 1829 the zone system was inaugurated. Today the 48 states are divided into eight zones of six states each. Each state nominates two men; the zone committee chooses four candidates from the 12 nominees. Thus 32 Americans are selected every year. States in this zone come to a total of 50 counties in Iowa, Missouri, and Kansas. A stipend amounting to $2,000 a year for three years is provided for each nominee. The School of Education needs a new building of a two-unit type. One unit or wing prepared to meet the needs of the School of Education and the other unit or wing built to house a modern training school of two or three hundred high-school pupils. The Rhodes will provided for two Scholars from every State and tertiary in the U. S., 60 mm from the British colonies and dominion, and 15 from Germany (cancelled during WWII, but included numbers afterwards). The American students thus outnumbered those from the British possessions. The engineering shops and the de- pertinent of journalism definitely need improved housing conditions The present engineering shops are located in Fowler Shops. The shop arrangement should be modernized Direct-drive motors and electric belt-driven system which is complicated, antiquated, and dangerous. In the event that a new machine- ship building is erected, the Powers shops could, with a small amount of material, be turned over to journalism. Gym Is Inadequate The School of Fine Arts, since 1922 has occupied practically the complete south side of the center section of Frank强 strong hall. A new Fine Arts building would release all this space for administrative offices and classwork in other divisions. The assignment of the School to its prudent quarters from the first weirst understood to be a temporary one. In addition, few, if any, state universities have gymnastics faculty. RobRob inadequate as his gymnastics was created in 1958, when the enrollment at Lawrence was about 1,500. We now have on the campus about 4,400 students Clones and the staff in Robinson gymnastics are crowded. Also, there is no provision for faculty use of the facilities. On The SHIN— Continued from page 1 another barbecue. So just for the fun of making Sergent Lender unhappy again, we'll quote a memorable passage from Diddle's item or the first, to wit "I've seen cows that hurt a lot worse than this get up and walk away." Protesters protesting the protest of protesters et cetera ad nuncum fill the editorial columns of today' Kansan. After reading the proxs Ye Shinster is sorry he didn't write about bullying, but humily prods that they will be the most read space filler in this issue. The National Student Federation of America at its last convention voted not to back the annual national college peace strike.
