Comment
Better Than Two in the Busb
While the student pep organizations are searching for new yellas and pep songs, everyone seems to be overlooking a song that made its appearance on the Hill last year.
Howard C. Taylor, a graduate of the University, wrote the music for "Our Team," and the words were a collaboration by Hill personages. The only thing wrong with the song is that it is rarely played. The University Band has the score, and one of the local swing bands is working out a swing arrangement. The latter has especially good possibilities since the song is readily adaptable to swing treatment.
Why not popularize a real University of Kansas song with plenty of rhythm and melody by the simple expedient of playing it?
A Fight To Whose Finish?
A political war in Rhode Island is raging around the Narragansett race track, which was closed recently by martial law.
Failing to bring action by civil suit, Governor Quinn resorted to the use of state troops, charging, among other things, that "certain strong-arm men now employed by O'Hara . . . have in various ways threatened to kill and 'bump off' the government and other public officials." The Governor further declared the race track and its proprietors to be "in a state of insurrection."
Walter E. O'Hara is operator of the track and publisher of the Providence Star-Tribune. Since the legalization in Rhode Island of parimutuel betting in 1934, the track has handled bets of more than $100,000,000, of which $3½ per cent went to the state as taxes and of $6½ per cent to the track.
The Governor wants, in the end, to drive O'Hara from Rhode Island. O'Hara, strong with both Democrats and Republicans, will be a tough customer, and boasts strong backing. Unless Quinn can push the legislature to ban pari-mutuel, O'Hara will probably remain secure, at the cost of Governor Quinn's political life.
How About Spots Before the Eyes?
Into the category of the political crack-pots goes Prof. Loring P. Andrews, astronomer at Harvard University. Prosperity and depression, says Professor Andrews, are but the reflection of sun-spot activity. When sun spots are plentiful they give off a plethora of ultraviolet rays which may have a stimulating effect on mankind, "prodding statesmen to great international concords, or in their irritating effects, annoying them until they come to blows. The sole difficulty with the correlation and with its theoretical explanation is that the world seems to be in a state of international upheaval at almost any hour year."
But wait: unfortunately there is no way of knowing when these rays may suddenly change into a Frankenstein's monster, become "irritating" and annoy us until be come to blows or push prosperity around that corner again.
At last, then, we can banish forever the ups and downs of our business cycle. Sun lamps, not communism, provide the answer to our dilemma. All we need do is to equip ourselves with a large stock of ultra-violet ray lamps, bask in their beneficial glow, and then go forth stimulated to a dither of enthusiasm, to adjust our maladjustments.
And, just as unfortunately, by assigning to ultra-violet rays the cause of both prosperity and depression, Professor Andrew's theory defies contradiction. It all sounds a bit like Popeye's reason for being—"I yam wot I yam because I eat spinach."
Maybe its "post hoc propter hoc" "reductio ad absurdum," or "in hoc signo."
Take your choice.
Congress and International Policy
It is true that in the Neutrality Act, Congress sought to limit by law the President's powers in handling foreign affairs. Only in this way can the wide range of his international activities be curtailed. The Constitution sets up the machinery by which he can handle the state department. Charles Evans Hughes has said that the treaty-making power in itself was broad enough to pertain to all our foreign relations, and a subsequent court decision by Justicie Sutherland was interpreted to agree with this statement, adding an inference that Congress could legally pass laws to limit or direct that influence.
Who decides American foreign policy? According to an article by Harold B. Hinton, Times correspondent, the obvious and legally unassailable answer is that the President does. "But the legal battle, if there is one, would be between two independent branches of the government—the President seeking to throw the country's weight behind collective peace preservation, and the Congress intent on keeping intact the protective isolation to which it seems committed."
With these facts in mind, it is in Congress that hopes for peace through isolation lie. Acting while Congress was not in session, the President was not exceeding his rights, but merely displaying the customary Roosevelt habit of independent, if surreprising, action.
If the sentiment for isolation is sufficiently strong, the state department's intervention policies may be left on high ground or damned by loud congressional opposition.

Information And Opinions, Too
Lest we seem to be ill-informed, we do acknowledge that some faculty members give the students the benefit of their opinions; but there is room for so much more. We do not advocate one particular or another, but we do advocate that the students take up some beliefs and convictions which they would be willing to defend in intellectual combat. To assist the students, we exhort the professors to enter the lists.
One of the traditional attitudes assumed at many large universities is that a professor ought not to interject much of his personal interpretation into a lecture or a classroom discussion. No belief could be more fallacious or more imposed to the immediate purpose of education...
An increasingly large number of students are admitting that it is a waste of time to attend the stock lectures which only repeat what can be found in textbooks. More and more students want the objective facts correlated with problems of current interest. The classroom is patently the proper place for such correlation. The professors are just as patiently the persons to direct that correlation.

Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
Books Highly Praised
His most widely read books are "Hearst, Lord of San Simeon," and "The Bible—Designed to be Read as a Text." Both have been highly praised and which excited much comment as particularly brilliant works. He has also written "The Story of stagnation," "The Story of the Supreme Court," "This Land of Liberty," and "American Literature." He also lush a book entitled "The Making of the Bible." He also contributes to many popular journals and is a lecturer on the staffs of two universities and two civil institutions.

Mr. Bates, the son of a minister,
was born in Gambier, Ohio, in 1879.
He received both his hace勒 and
master of arts degrees at the University of Michigan in 1902 and 1903.
He received his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1908. From 1906 to 1909 he served as professor of English in various colleges and universities. He has since been a professor of philosophy.
Track and Field Meet Postponed
Lack of interest has caused indefinite postponement of the intramural track and field meet which twice has included and twice failed to materialize.
The meet, intended to uncover possible varsity material among intramural athletes, was originally scheduled for last Friday but was not held because of cold weather. A second date was set for yesterday and the small group entered that only informal competition was held.
Jack Richardson, who was in charge of plans for the meet, said last night he believed its failure was caused by the absence of organized teams in the competition. Team entries in the meet were voluntary, with emphasis on individual participants.
Since it was not a fall intramural meet as has been held in other years, fraternities and other active athletic groups failed to sponsor teams.

and theology. His wide interests and capabilities are reflected in the variety and intensity of his works. His interpretation of the Bible in his work continues to be his outstanding and perhaps most constructive work.
Excepting Saturday afternoons and Sundays, the exhibition will be open to the public from 9 to 1300. On Sunnyside, the exhibition will be open from 2 to 3 in the afternoon.
Included in the exhibition are block prints, executed in color, by Cason of Canada, Margaret Patterson of Boston, the late Harold Haven Brown of Provincetown, and Ernest Watson.
Holds His Audience
His liberal training and experience combined with a keen power of observation make him particularly suited to discourse upon his subject tonight, "Are You Propaganda Wise or Foolish?"
Others who are represented in the showing are Martin Lewis, Morris Henry Holles, Carl Horter, and Eric Scott. Work by W. K. W. H. Wicknell is also exhibited. Many noted etchers received their training at his school, including Elizabeth Warren, Robert Garnett, The California etcher, Gene Kloss, is represented as well as Louis Ort, '17, ypthose etchings are hung in the Luxembourg gallery in Paris and one in the Louvre.
Although Dr. Bates is a profound thinker, he is in no sense an academic speaker. He dresses his thoughts in witty and sarcastic delivery, and holds his audiences through the sparkle of his discourse as well as the alacrity and depth of his thought.
Military Society Celebrates Today
Many of the works have appeared in important exhibitions abroad, as well as New York and other Amer- ica museums. The exhibition is free of charge.
