PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1938 . . The Kansan Comments He Has Spoken And We Have Listened Many who sowed into Hoech auditorium Friday morning to hear the band, to sing the Alma Mater, to be greeted by Chancellor Lindley, and to listen to Dr. H. L. Snyder of the Board of Regents, apparently have missed the significant implications of his address. Dr. Snyder spoke of the ten-year building program for the state institutions, of reasons why students attend the University, and of the depression, saying, "... that the very thing which we consider a difficulty (depression) may result in producing a group of men an dwomen who will more nearly measure up to the requirements of American citizenship that many generation that has passed before them." And Dr. Snyder admonished members of the student body that "the feeling in your home community toward this institution is going to be measured very largely by the reaction of the folks at home to the things that the students bring back. So be sure, in computing what you have learned, that you have been just in quoting any professor who may have judicially tried to teach you and not quote only one side of the presentation." But expressing his desire that he "wanted the Campus to be liberal" and for students to obtain "every possible viewpoint," Dr. Snyder showed tolerance and wisdom. And in these words, rests the core of his address. Student Hitch-Hikers Could Use Passports Every fall thousands of young men crowd the highways in search of passing motorists who might give them "lifts" in the general direction of some college or university. Every spring similar thousands crowd the highways in search of "lifts" back home again. Every Friday or Saturday hundreds of them may be found on the outskirts of college towns, waiting for "lifts" to nearby home towns, in order that they may handle weekend jobs, ask parents for more money, or re-establish contacts with their best girls. Until recently many of these hitch-hikers were coming to or from the University of Kansas. Even now a few may be found on their way to or from Lawrence. For the most part these young men were affable, well-mannered gentlemen who were greatful for the lifts, and said so. Many motorists welcomed such companions as a tonic against the tedium of cross-country driving. Also, they liked to feel that they were giving assistance to ambitious youth traveling with a worthy purpose. Both parties benefited by the arrangement. Then the rapidly lengthening list of highway tragedies—theft, rape, murder—committed under the guise of the innocent hitchhiker, induced Kansas as well as some fourteen other states to pass laws which now make it a state offense to travel via thumb. These laws were just and necessary. No alert citizen would wish for their abolishment. However, if a bored or sympathetic motorist sees a well-dressed, pleasant-faced young man with a college sticker on his suitcase, trudging along the highway, and chooses to pick him up, there can be little inherently criminal or anti-social in the process. Indeed, when a reporter asked Gov. Walter A. Huxman whether the present law applied to college students, the Governor is said to have smiled cryptically, but in such a way as to imply that college students and those who picked them up need not fear the "full penalty of the law." Nevertheless, "the law's the law," as Javert was fond of remarking, and technically, the hitch-hiking law applies to all. But most colleges now issue individual identification cards containing the student's name, the date of the semester issued, and at least a reasonably accurate photographic reproduction of his physiognomy. Why wouldn't it be feasible to make such student identification cards "passports" for all bonafide, student hitch-hikers? Mass Demonstrations Have a Purpose Imagine Memorial stadium filled to the brim with 38,000 people, listening to the emotional tirade of one man, singing the same songs and chanting the same greetings. Or imagine every man of military age uniformed in gray, brown, blue, marching in squads, patrolling streets in trucks, housed in barracks, manning field guns as part of a massed mobilization. And can you see and hear blaring bands swinging down streets, that are decorated with colorful hunting, followed by old and young, all falling into step? Such events do happen. For in the emotionalized atmosphere of mass demonstrations, the leaders of the "otalitarian" state herald and endorse each governmental decree, change of foreign policy, enactment of laws hailing them as astounding successes or mourning their failure as catastrophes with appropriate boasts, epithets, and obituaries. In the nation where monopolized propaganda misplaces competitive expressions or opinions, mass demonstrations, dramatically staged by a propaganda machine, effectively serve a purpose. Their primary aim, however is not to throttle criticism that would block contact with thousands of people, but instead, the aim is to conquer their minds and focus their attention. Like kettle drums, propaganda when hammered out persistently and monotonously, puts people to sleep, but interspersed with periods of relaxation or quiet, increases their response. Attesting to the methods success is the recent Nazi Nurburg conference and the German army mobilization. And upon this unification of thought, Hitler forged ahead, steering his course as he saw fit, bolstered by the knowledge that recruits would not bolt, that manufacturers would knuckle down, that housewives would cook with substitutes should war result. At first glance such co-ordination of opinion appears desirable and that, consequently, instruments of opinion management as newspapers, magazines, and public meetings be placed under a central, guiding agency. On closer scrutiny however, objections arise. The individual's habits, occupation, friends, education, and dress are subject to the whim of a demagogue. He lacks voice in determining taxes, against whom he goes to war, or in the amount of sugar he purchases. Essentially, he emotionally consents to support a political platform elevated to the status of a national faith. There Are Some Who Do Not Know Out of 1,330 new students who passed through the physical examination line at Memorial hospital last week, 865 volunteered for the Wassermann test. These 865 students snatched at the opportunity offered them to avoid the double price of payment—the price of a diseased body or the cost a private physician charges to administer the Wassermann. And the 685 students will be assured whether or not they possess syphilic infection. But to the remaining 465, and others on the Hill who have not taken the free test, doub will linger in their minds.

The stone benches would have been worth a full semester's campaign—even better than the library steps. And to think that they were erected without the Kansan having at least an opportunity to be the first to suggest them, It's always educational to see a college movie like "Freshman Year" every now and then. It helps understand what college life is like. ☆ ☆ ☆ Ed Chapman of the Theophaea State Journal thinks Firis must be slipping as a style center. "Here all the fashion experts are telling the girls that the hair goes up, and a woman who is wearing capitals brings the message that "this is the place where you can let your hair down." Stagging a varsity is still the best exercise to be found on Mount Oread. ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Always willing to do our bit to encourage creative writing in Kansas, we are glad to reprint the following qurain from the able pen of Arch Jarryl of the Arkansas City Traveler: "To Roosevelt another birth; it seems there will not be IO roosevelts a serious dearth Throughout this centurée." Dance Manager-to give the rg hair cut: Lou Harshfield Virgil Wiglesworth Mac McCarthy Hawk Continued from page One larged by the above outlined procedure." "The student dance manager's paid jobs on the Hill, comes under the eligibility rules of the University according to Prof. G. W. Stratton, chairman of the Eligibility Rules committee. Under these rules a student applying for the position must have carried a minimum of 12 hours in his previous semester in school (summer school excepted) and must have made a "C" average. The rules further specify that the student must carry at least 12 hours of scholastic work while holding the position. Prof. Stratton said last night that Thursday by the Student Council none of the five names selected last had as yet been submitted to his committee for checking on their eligibility. Any selection that might have been made Saturday morning, but for the action on Mr. Werner's part, would have led to be passed on by the eligibility committee. The selection of the student dance manager became involved in Hill politics at the first gathering of the Men's Student Council Monday afternoon. This development was not especially surprising because the position usually is nothing more than a political plum. A squabble arose Monday afternoon, when members of P.S.G.L and Pachacamac took opposite sides in an argument on whether or not a quorum was present at the meeting. Charges by P.S.G.L that Rising Sim members of the M.C.S. pulled a disappearing act to prevent the holding of a meeting resulted in nothing but some unfavorable publicity for the opening session of the men's student representative body. Famous Red Fighter Opens Law Office Abilene, Texas—(U.P.) Former Rep. Tom Blanton has returned to Abilene to open a law office with his three sons after a 20-year service in Congress and a two-year practice of law in Washington. Blanton, famed as an opponent of reds in the District of Columbia, was defeated in the campaign for Congress as representative of this district. His successor was Clyde Garrett of Eastland, who was renominated without opposition in the Democratic primary. The three Blanton sons are Tom, Jr. Matthew and William Law. Matthew is a professor of law; Lex. and Washington. The farm name is Blanton and Blanton. Statistics indicate that burglaries and street robbers are more active in the fall than at any other time of the season. The reason for this is not known.
