Co-operatives
Except for a few very outstanding individuals, as Marquis Childs will undoubtedly point out in his lecture "Co-operatives—America's Hope" this evening, rugged individualism went out with the frontier and the coming of the huge corporation. By himself the average individual is helpless.
tributary or consortial.
There is nothing undemocratic or alien to American traditions in co-operatives. They are not the "Red" institutions business men who are afraid they will lose business to them would have the public believe. They are fundamentally democratic in both spirit and operation.
involvement. This fact has been the chief cause of the meteor-like rise of the co-operative movement throughout the world, and particularly of consumers' co-operation.
Nor do co-operatives result in the elimination of private property, as reactivationaries throughout America have accused them of doing, but quite the opposite. They make for the more extensive ownership of private property. In Denmark, for example, co-operatives have saved private property for the people, and have kept it from being concentrated in the hands of a few multi-millionaires as has happened in many European countries and as is beginning to happen here.
Memories of War
but
Perhaps co-operatives can also be
the American way out.
David Lloyd George has issued the final volume of his war memoirs. In it he continues his scorching criticisms of high army officials and defends his own position as a critic. He concludes his lengthy dissertation with the statement that "victory was within our grasp in 1916 or at the latest in 1917 if the strategic direction of the war had shown more imagination, common sense and unity."
tion, common sermons. There is something rather pathetic about these memoirs. They are evidence that their author is dwelling in the past. His concern is not to trace the hideous results of that war, results that he has lived to see and could well dishearse. He does not even speak of the treaty that was the culmination of four years of bitter fighting. Rather, he wants to settle the question of whether this leader was fit for high command; whether General Blank should have moved to this sector; what armies were most effective in taking a particular position, questions which can have little meaning for us now. His conclusion is typical of his whole work. He tells of the "victory" that might have been won earlier, but he does not see the mockery that word "victory" has come to be.
A man so intelligent and so experienced as Lloyd George could surely have written something more than a textbook in military tactics.
Add Racial Insanity
Berlin—Richard Walther Darree, Minister of Agriculture, has found time to write a book entitled "The Pig Murder."
The book deals with the killing of 9,000,000 pigs in 1915. Jews, according to Mr. Darre, were responsible. He refers to the affair as the "St. Bartholomew's Massacre of Pigs," a figure of speech not particularly complimentary to the Huguenots.
The book's real purpose is to prove that Germany's breakdown under the blockade of the Allies was caused by Jews, who destroyed the basis of the self-nourishment system. Germany had 25,000,000 pigs in December, 1914, 16,000,000 in April, 1915, and 9,500,000 in December, 1918.
Mr. Darre explains at great length that this was all due to "following the advice of a clique of Jewish professors"—New York Times.
Another Revolution
There is more than one revolution taking place in Spain. The government has issued a decree making women the absolute equals of men. It says, in part, "A woman when married, should be a true companion, and, either married or single, should have the same powers to discharge civic functions as a man . . .
"Any shadow of martial authority or restriction or privilege on the part of one or the other of the sexes is absolutely incompatible with the dignity which each possesses."
with the original.
This new law has come about because of the great service the women have rendered the loyalists. When the great crisis came, the women exchanged their aprons for breeches and their brooms for rifles. They forsook their sheltered homes for trenches. They entered a world heretofore sacred to man, and they made good.
The Kansan Platform
1. A well-rounded varsity athletic program.
2. Betterment of student working conditions.
3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore.
4. An adequate building program, including:
a. Reopening of Dyche museum.
b. Construction of a medical science building.
good.
It is interesting to note that in some more advanced countries, women are still denied their rights. In France, when comment is made on the subject, the reply is that although the women do not have a voice in the government directly, they greatly influence its policies by becoming counselors to the men. While this may be true to some extent in high official circles, it acts more as a salve to wounded pride for the great majority of women. Some day they will wake up and find how their lesser halves are fooling them.
c. Addition to the stacks of the library.
5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries.
The other day in Los Angeles a duck was arrested for being drunk. That is what is known in professional circles as being stewed to the quills.
Campus Opinion
Shrinking Activity Book
Kanyon Kansur
For 25 years, the activity books have had a tendency of offering less and less for the money
This semester's book offers the least of any yet assembled. For the two bucks and six-bits we pay, we get to see $1.50 worth of entertainment. A play heads the list at a cost of 2$c to the outfit. Kansas Relays tickets for $40 good sent perhaps some 200 students. Maybe the track谋 does help advertise the school. So what? The rest of the school is going to (central) finance refuses to buy tickets that make it fun to legislate. We do the students do what the learned legislators have deemed wrong?
legislators have decided to use the anyway. This makes a profit for the Union at that. I think it is fine for them to make a profit, but why burn the candle at both ends? Mid-week dances are often a sign of weakness. Why not let the rest of the dancers pay a dime too? Then the Union would make some more legitimate profit. The dancers would not object and the sucker who cannot lose money would be going for what someone who can afford it is enjoying.
who can clutch in any hope of reform or correction we close, knowing full well that Swarthout will have his concerns and that bigger and gaucer books will claim our dollars in the future. H.E. N.M
Vegetable or Potato
Editor Daily Kansan.
Exercises
The Union Cafeteria has cracked down on egging, and we who take our empty stomachs and our quarters can do it.
Why? Why must we be limited to one vegetable?
Excuse it - FITTER vegetable OR potato. For one whole semester we have struggled along without an honest to goodness piece of meat to call our oven that time it's been, "it's hot," that or, for foreign language so-and-so or so-and-so hash. We have even done without Vitamin C, calcium, and minerals (our bones, cook, our bones) for Heaven knows a raw milk sauce is better than a cheese sauce, "they are FITTER vegetable OR potatoes. Who can eat a meal with only one vegetable?" It's cruel.
In all fairness the desserts and drinks have been good, the service is polite and as prompt as possible, and the general atmosphere is pleasant. We are thankful somebody gave us back our potatoes and vegetables*
We wouldn't say one more word about those symbolic means if they just give us a taste of what we are able to serve, or raw salad.

A decision on the part of Congress could remove nearly one per cent of the college students in the United States from school.
These young men and women are found in every state in the Union. The numbers range from 96 in Nevada to 13,670 in New York. In our state of Kansas there are 2,384 being educated through school.
Does that seem to be a violation of the Bill of Rights? Pascuas? No. It only reveals the far-reaching influence and help of the National Youth Administration in the case known as CSEP. If Congress were to abolish this program of student and (and it is not likely that it will) then 128,418 young women and women would be left behind else do with a college education.
To finance the program, $1,989,143 is allocated to the various schools each month. This is an average of a little over $14 a student being thus added. The average in Kansas is slightly higher, with a mean of over $15. Those familiar with budgets of working students work harder that amount will so a long way toward filling out the income required.
Karissa is thirteenth among the states in the number of colleges participating in the program. There 40, of these colleges, including II listed on the NYA rolls as junior colleges. The rest are supposedly full-fledged colleges, if the name is to be taken as any indication.
That there would be 32 colleges in the state of Kansas seems an astounding fact. Some of the names of these college institutions are similarity to most Kanans is any indication. Bressee College, Central College, College of Paula, Heston College, Highland College, Marymount College showed that these
really were schools in Kansas, but that most of them were rated as offering only two years of work. Despite the fact that there are little known schools, some have been established for many years. One, Highland College, is among the schools to be opened in the state. It was started in 1858. Several others also go back to the nineteenth century as their opening date.
date.
Despite the large number of schools and the high average pay for each student, Kansas has a larger percentage of its total students on the rolls of NVA than the statewide average in Kansas. Students sit at the point of one student in five holding one of these governmentally financed positions.
This may be due to the fact that Kawasan was one of the first states to cooperate on this phase of the Works Program. Some of the educators in various other states were dubious at first because they thought it meant the start toward Federal control of education. The attitude of these educators is now changed, the change being explained by Aubrey Williams, executive director of the NYA, who says:
"It is in secret that the Nationa Youth Administration was regarded with sleepsician by some educators when it was established in the summer of 1953. Pears were expressed that it was an 'opening wedge' to award ultimate Federal control of the educational system.
"Such fears have been allayed completely as the program has developed. The NXA has not interfered in any way whatever will matters of curricula or administration, and the actual working of the program in each institution has been left almost entirely in the hands of the institution's officers." "The approximately 9 faculty members of the accredited college
and universities in the country have adopted this program as a means of assistance to students of limited means, is adequate testimony of its success.
With such an acceptance by the leading educators it would seem that it is likely that year by year students will continue to be helped by the NYA. Otherwise it will mean nothing less than hundreds of thousands the opportunity of attending college in the future.
The Roving Reporter
Conducted by
J. Bradfield
In view of the need for prepping the masses of the camps for the new season we have asked several gentlemen around the Hill what they most disliked in their women. Their answers, while not being orignes of Emily Post, are illuminating.
Edward Boucher, cured, "Gar
rulenness." We hope he means
what we think he means. He had a
rather wague look in his eye
Mark Dubach, c37. "I dislike deciit, all women have it." Which forces us to remark, so what?
Rollo Nackles. While he can't quote him, it is rumored that he detests gum chewing. Harmful to digest, no doubt.
Uncle Jimmy Green, "Ummodest ative." We gathered this from the baleful cast that comes over his family's riding, lurking among living body passions.
Joe Myers, cured, "Hair mousser
uppers and our blower inners." He is
objective to types raber than he is
objective to types sincerely. The expression is nevertheless sincere.
We accorded a few sad-faced men who delivered themselves of onions but then requested an offer of bread and we told them they are too hopeless to appreciate they are
change anyway. Next we will let the women suggest masculine reforms.
