PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DANNY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1907 Comment In the news department of this paper, the first regular issue of the University Daily Kansan for this fall, appears what is known as an "advertising blurb" for the Kansan. This department heartily endorses each and every statement made in that story and feels it must go a little farther and indulge in a bit of "blurbing" for its own sake. A Wee Bit Of Boasting Many problems are our heritage from last year's sessions. Many benefits are ours as the result of the work done last year. In subsequent issues, the editors of the Kansan will deal with things that are to be done or attempted this year. The news columns of the Kansas will bring you a faithful and accurate account of the actual happening in your University each day. They will keep you in touch with the things you should be in touch with to be a part of the University. The editorial columns of the paper will attempt to interpret these happenings, to show their import, and possibly recommend things to be done about it. The scope of the editorial columns will go beyond local topics, with discussions of many problems that are important to students both as students and as citizens. The editorial department of the Kansan includes the Campus Opinion division, which is open to the expressions and opinions of every student. We invite you to follow the editorial columns and to contribute your opinions on any topic you wish. So They'll Know Whither They Go--the rush week, and the seemingly sudden decision. But the Governor assures us that it was no sudden decision. Numerous girls go through rush week, then suddenly decide to go home or some place else, and little note is made. But Ruth Huxman happens to be the Governor's daughter. Somewhere in the storerooms of the University there are neatly painted signs, each bearing the name of one of the buildings on the campus. During the band concert week last year these signs were invaluable aids of direction to wandering minstrels. Why not help the freshmen and new students on the campus chart their course on the K-book map by putting those signs up today? What--- Fostering Crime? Little did the legislators of the state dream that their bill against hitch-hikers would be more than a stop-gate against a minor crime problem. What must be their surprise when awakened by a hostile Kansas public they find that they have not only cut off the college man's means of transportation but placed over a third of the males in our educational plants in the criminal class. It is obvious that complications must set in when the boys who "appreciate their education" an drae slated to be our "coming leaders" are considered criminal when they should still be idealists filled with love and trust in their fellow men. This is fully serious enough as is but when the seekers of wisdom begin to figure their expenses for the fiscal year there is another problem that raises its head. It becomes evident that trips home will have to be limited to one at Christmas, instead of the four or five a semester indulged in before. There will be from five to fifteen dollars to be added to each semester's fees for transportation. A sum that represents two months room rent to the average student. "Free Education" is fast becoming a historical term. Happily the Kansas press has responded almost as a body in denouncing the statute. In editorials appearing over the state the weakness of the law has been pointed out and college men advised to ignore it. The inadequacy of the state police force and public opinion have been cited as factors making the law nothing but a farce. Most important of all is the suggestion that men from every college in the state visit the next session of the legislature and lobby for an amendment or repeal of the present statute. The University and The Governor's Daughter Therein lies the solution. The Governor's daughter and his honor, the Governor, caused a quitter on her the Hill, when simultaneously, they decided, after rushing had been done, that Ruth should go to a girls' school as long since planned. There are murmurs among the plebians that it's a fine democracy when the governor's daughter can't mix with the rest of us in the state university. Perhaps there is a point there, but there are also other points to be considered. In the first place, there are many young women of means—or daughters of men with means—who attend girls' schools without so much as a note. In the second place, the argument can be turned around to read: it's a fine democracy where a girl can't go to a girls' school when she so elects. Of course there's still the question of why Wherein lies the key to the whole situation College Student Vs. WPA Worker--erection of a new oval platform for bands which was a gift of a lift year's graduating class, and the complete resurfacing of the ballroom floor. It is planned to install new speakers for the public address system this year and at the present time. The new system will take a suitable arrangement for having "spot" and other lighting effects on the band platform. The matter of reducing the WPA rolls by about 500,000 persons this summer may be viewed in an impersonal light by many college students, but for the worker under the College Student Employment Project the situation looks serious. The government, in an effort to keep within the billion and a half appropriation for relief this year, has made the summer cut in expectation of a winter swell in the ranks of the needy. So many lay-offs have been made that recently the members of the Workers' Alliance, the relief-worker's union, marched on Washington in protest. The WPA proper has fired mostly on the grounds of inefficiency, which has brought forth the cry that the most incapable persons have been thrown into competition for private jobs. A surer method, however, has been adopted in the CSEP where a basis is set and a faculty committee chooses the most likely applicants who are under 25 years of age and carried a three-fourths full course in October, 1936. But both methods are surpassed by the natural elimination of graduation from college. When the college relief worker completes his course, he has not only vastly improved his chances of getting better jobs, but he automatically is dropped from the relief lists. By helping college students help themselves to opportunity, the government finds itself dealing with a liquid, shifting procession of advancing young men and women who will, in a short time, make themselves self-sufficient. Ten percent of those on the regular WPA have been there for two years or more. The chances are that they will never graduate. Joe College says he has no fight with John Roosevelt for insulting the mayor of Cannes. What he can't understand is why the fellow wasted the champagne—if he did.
