A Hundred-Fold
The Public Forums series, the lecture series sponsored and paid for by the students of the University of Kansas, opens next Wednesday evening presenting Ernest Sutherland Bates, author and editor.
This forums series was set up three years ago by the M.S.C. and the W.S.G.A.; the selection of the board is entirely under student control and the appropriation for speakers, one thousand dollars, comes from the activity ticket fund. No faculty control, censorship, or responsibility is taken by the University in any way and the choice of speakers is left entirely to the discretion of the student members of this board.
The Public Forums series is truly your own. It offers to you the opportunity of securing, as can be secured at no other place, the presentation and discussion of controversial issues. It treats immediate problems which are important to all of us but beyond the scope of the general classroom.
Ernest Sutherland Bates in his subject "Are We Propaganda Wise or Foolish?" discusses such a problem of immediate interest, and discusses it from a perspective and background, as to be both authoritative and interesting. To miss such a forum is to pass by one of the more important opportunities of college life.
Fight Fear With Facts. Not Fear
Chicago's so-far highly successful unit-venereal disease campaign has now reached a stage where there may be some reasonable doubt as to the relative positions of the cart and the horse.
Dr. Herman N, Bundesen is tacking quarantine signs on homes harboring known cases of social diseases where the afflicted refuse medical treatment. Up until now the main objective of the general campaign against the deadly diseases has been the removal of the stigma from those diseases in an effort to bring a more beneficial social attitude toward those afflicted.
There is the remote possibility that the Chicago campaign is far enough ahead of the program as a whole that such drastic measures as the quarantine sign may be used without harmful results. However, since most cases can be discovered only through voluntary examination or through a bit of stool-pigeoning among associates of those afflicted, it would seem that such drastic measures might preclude the possibility of discovery of remaining undisclosed cases.
Were it not for the particularly secretive nature of syphilis, these line-crashing tactics might have been better from the first of the campaign. But when the disease is gradually being coaxed out in the open, it seems hardly wise to erect its shadow with the danger of frightening it back in its den of social inhibitions.
Stepping On the Lion's Tail
Premier Aberhart of Alberta is behaving quite consistently. From one scheme to another, each less rational than its predecessor, he is increasingly becoming a burden to Great Britain.
Recently he sought to curb the press of the province of Alberta by introducing a bill to the effect that newspapers be required to print governmental rebuttals to lay criticisms. Again, he attempted to put through a tax upon Alberta banks, which necessitated a third bill declaring banks "credit" institutions."
All three bills met the definite disapproval of the "legally fictitious person of the king in Canada," Lord Tweedswurie, the governor-general. Tweedswurie met with Dominion Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie, King to work out some satisfactory plan of forestalling Premier Abebart, and as yet has arrived at no solution.
In due time the Abehart plan of paying a "dividend" of $26 to every citizen of Alberta will fall through. So far not a penny has been paid, and the financial situation is such that the already unbalanced budget may topple in the mere consideration of such payments. With this in mind, the higher-ups have only to wait before making their decision, which would necessarily be adverse to Abehart's desire for dictatorship.
The Crown, presented with several strong dictatorships in neighboring countries, is not likely to permit even the semblance of one in its own provinces. Even though the re-election of Abelhart would be probable under the present circumstances, Great Britain will promptly bring to time a subject who has overestimated and exceeded his ordinary rights.
Ostrich Tactics Won't Do
"The earth is degenerating in these latter days. There are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end. Bribery and corruption abound. The children no longer obey their parents. Every man wants to write a book, and it is evident that the end of the world is speedily approaching."
President Frederick C. Perry of Hamilton College, expressing distrust of "gloomers who view the world with alarm," has cited these writings taken from an Assyrian tablet dated 2800 B.C. as proof that political prophecy for a dismal future has always been prevalent.
In this way Dr. Perry implies that there is no reason to be concerned with contemporary conditions. Although war is imminent, although new concepts of the state are being formulated, although the old social evils still exist, his argument would seem to be th at these conditions have always been; consequently, why should we try to solve them?
The attitude of passive acceptance of things as they are, backed by the reasoning expressed by the Indian in Maxwell Anderson's "High Tor" that "men's monuments make good ruins," has become evident on both courthouse square and campus. A parallel argument would be that since the rosebuds of Richardson's poem will ultimately be gathered, why should they bother to bloom. Yet there is the survival of the race to consider.
Editorials advise perspective and the broad view; they condemn what they think of as much ado about practically nothing. Both in and out of school, the undercurrent of luminate acceptance or compromise tends to create a sort of intellectual backwash that coats over any practical desire for immediate reform—The Dartmouth.

Professor Crafton was burgly engaged in applying shelline to stage furniture. After preliminary apologies and greetings, a cautious beginning was attempted by the reporter, "Mr.Crafton, it's rumored around the Hill that you took up a new form of artistic expression this summer—have your anything to tell your publie in regard to this?"
'What public?' was the cynical
query--ignored by the reporter.
"Oh, I know what you mean," suddenly began the professor, "you want someone to look at you. You should have seen the one."
"No, no," firmly from the reporter. "Not about trout fishing—let's talk about the finer things of life. For instance (the reporter here) to a whale calculated to be a confidence whistle, who oil painting?"
"You know?" gasped the leading Thespian of the Hill.
"All true, heaven help me, it's all true," muttered the professor, his voice breaking on the words. "Not only that, but if you say it was ordinary house paint."
Professionally teach the University Daily Kannan feels that you owe the public a definite statement in regard to certain unverified rumors corrosive horsehounds, let the chips fall where they may. Is it true that you own a number of masterpieces completed a number of masterpieces and are only waiting for an opportunity moment to exhibit them in Spooner-Thayer? Most of all, Professor Cratton, is there any truth to that claim? You use the family bed sheets?"
"Back up, Professor Crafton," nothing to be ashamed of; tell me what did you paint?" said the rear comfort in a caring fashion.

"What does anyone paint in Colorado?" The Rockies of course." At this point his eyes become dreamy and his face pensive as though his thoughts were back in the world of art plus the Rocky mountains.

"Oh," answered the professor vigorously, returning a long pause to the world, after his period of consolation. "I'll just pretend for art's sake."
Chiapusso To Play With Philharmonic
Deaf Players Ignore Referee
Jan Chipapasso, professor of piano in the School of Fine Arts, will play with the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra directed by Karl Knueger at the two regular subscription concerts.

Bucharest, Oct. 23—(UF)—Asked to referee a football game here, a Bucharest man was a little put out when he discovered that none of the players paid the slightest attention to his whistle. No one told him that the teams came from two deaf and dumb homes.
