Court or Farce?
When the men students of the University went to the polls in their annual spring election a little over three weeks ago to elect the members of next year's Student Council, among other things an amendment providing for the establishment of a Student Court was submitted. This amendment, giving the Court jurisdiction over campus traffic violations, election frauds, appeals from various administrative fines, disciplinary difficulties, rooming house disputes, and questions of the constitutionality of Council legislation, won with a substantial majority in favor of the amendment.
Subsequently, two days following the spring election, at the Peace Mobilitization held on the campus a tear-gas bombing incident took place. The following day a student, August Anneberg, was alleged the person responsible by an investigating committee appointed by the president of the Men's Student Council. In the meantime, a chief-justice and four associate justices were selected as the Student Court and hurriedly they drew up their formal procedure. As a result of a formal complaint brought by the investigating committee, Anneberg was arraigned to stand trial before the court. Several witnesses were subpeniated and Anneberg with his student attorney appeared before the court for the first time last Tuesday.
And now the great force of the University of Kansas has just been completed—the student Supreme Court has tried its first case. Perhaps you were not one of the fortunate who attended the trial; if not, you missed the chance of a lifetime to witness a most brilliant example of court proceedings. To start the court off, the esteemed representative of the Men's Student Council investigating committee instructed the court in its purpose—mind you, the attorney for the prosecution telling the court what it was to do and what it was established for.
The first witness of the prosecution was called, speaking in clear tones and with an appeal for justice in his attitude he told the court his story, stating that he was positive that the defendant was the one who ignited the tear gas candle. After a few more witnesses for the prosecution the defendant was called to the stand. He denied that he had anything to do with the lighting of the tear gas candle, although he was familiar with the workings of such a candle. He outlined for the court his actions while at the meeting, stating that he was not any closer to the candle than three yards, until after it had been burning for a few seconds. So ended the first day of the trial.
After a short session spent in examining witnesses, and hearing the closing pleas of the defense and prosecution on the second day, the trial ended. In his close plea the defense attorney scored the Kansas for convicting the defendant before the trial and indicted the liberals, saying that "this trial was forced by a lobby of radical students who want to publicize the peace mobilization."
The defense scored the Kansan for convicting the defendant before the trial. In fairness to all concerned this point should be cleared up. The story objected to was written by one of the justices of the court. Possibly in the future justices of the student court should be required, for the sake of appearances if nothing else, to resign from all other extra-curricular activities and to refrain from any participation in campus politics. Perhaps when a reporter becomes a justice of a Supreme Court he loses his biased viewpoint.
In preparing to discuss the recent proceedings of the trial, a representative of the Kansas wished to look over the court record. After making inquiries into the whereabouts of the record it was found that it was not available until after the decision has been handed down. We were always of the opinion that the record of court proceedings were for public benefit and were open to the public at all times. Maybe the University of Kansas Student Supreme Court has set a new precedent in the annals of justice.
Grim faced justices, and the grimness of all—the chief justice. His face throughout the trial a study in concentration; tight lipped, he sat and heard the testimony presented. Antagonism personified—such an attitude for "bumbed" justices to have. Six prosecutors, five of them seemingly behead the defendant guilty, asking him questions in an overhearing, antagonistic manner. JUSTICE?
It is true that the court is a new and inexperienced body, and that it will no doubt become more useful as a unit of student government as the justices become more familiar with the procedure and responsibilities of their office. Nevertheless, the fact remains that the court has made itself nothing but the laughing stock of the campus in its first appearance, and the impression it has made on the campus is not going to further its career. Many of its weaknesses are inherent in its organization. Is it not possible that the old disciplinary procedure of the Men's Student Council was just as effective and less spectacular?
Must They Go to College?
One of the reasons that the youth of the United States is going to college in such large numbers today is because of public opinion. The boys and girls think they have other reasons for attempting to secure a higher education, but for the most part they go to college because it is expected of them. During the last ten years there has been an increasing conviction that you cannot get anywhere in this world unless you have one degree and possibly two or three.
So from the small towns and the large towns come the boys and girls to learn to be school teachers and artists and journalists. They have unfailing belief in the idea that when they graduate from college they will fall into good professions or positions at good salaries. They want to go to college to learn to be somebody or something.
True, college does help many and it is necessary to some in order that they learn the basic principles of the profession for which they are best fitted—but what of the misfits? What about the girl who goes to college so that she may be a school teacher and yet is only marking time until she is married? What of the farm boy who decided that he is weary of tilling the soil and because he likes the looks of big things like bridges, is certain that his calling is civil engineering and so goes to college, is a poor engineer, really a failure in life, yet never realizes that his true calling is—being behind a plow? Or the boy who decides that everyone else is going to school, he is going, too. He isn't going to work and slave all his life as his blacksmith father did before him. He goes to college and in effort to pick a nice gentle profession decides to be an accountant, graduates after strenuous study, but is never able to keep a job for any length of time. And so the world gets a poor accounting when it could have had really a first class garage mechanic.
The rich and the poor, the dumb and the intellectual, they go to college because it is expected of them. They suffer hardships because they have no money, or they cannot learn, or they haven't the proper background, or they don't seem to fit in. They learn to wear evening clothes, to dance, to "go social," or to get along on nothing at all, but they never learn to amount to much.
They would be infinitely happier at home in the element for which they are best suited. Why couldn't the dumb but wealthy girl stay at home and enjoy herself, get married and not worry the professions to death? And the poor and not too smart girl stay home and clerk in a store or work with someone else. You can't do much thinking, instead of going to school, worrying over money, and making no grades.
Why couldn't the girl who was raised only to marry, stay at home and marry, not waste her time flirting with boys in class rooms since these girls couldn't afford to get married if they wanted to?
Or the boy who belongs on a farm stay on the farm, or if he goes to college, study agriculture, not law, and the boy who really could run a grocery store or fruit market on a paying basis, do that and not study medicine? And let those who really have callings toward law, or medicine, or accounting, or teaching, or engineering, study these things?
The only way in which matters could be righted is by the alteration of public opinion and it takes time for public opinion to change even for little things. But when the public does change on this matter then those who don't want to go to college and those who shouldn't go to college can stay at home and have a clear conscience and a peaceful mind—Daily O'Collegian.

"Only vandals and sneaks would stoop to mar something which has taken hours to make," is only one of the many interesting notices and advertisements found on the bulletin boards in the library. These notices can secretly escape a glance at least once, but if someone notice had no names on it so one can only guess at the story behind it. It might be referring to any of the numerous memorials on the campus, the sandal, "Uncle Jimmy Green" or the books in the library. Whatever it was, it incurred the wrath of someone else by making this an uninsigned, with the hope that the right persons might read it.

The number of noticees on the board vary considerably from time to time. One ad seemed particularly disjointed. "Found: A green and black Sheaffer fountain pen. Owner may have by calling at desk and describing." To my knowledge of fountain pen, the colors are about the only identifying feature I could always describe it as looking like a fountain pen. That might help some.
The ads cover many interests—rides to and from different towns; typing, at 5 cents per page, or 10 cents with car-

Latest Designs Sent to University By Graduate
Designs, which will probably be walking around on Fifth Avenue or sitting at a fashionable tea in Newport by the first of June, were exhibited on third floor Ad this last week. The show was also placed by the New York studio of H.Schweizer, Inc. and were still so new that they had not yet been placed on the exhibition back Wednesday in order that they could be so placed by the first of May.

The careless elegance of the floral
These bulletin boards could be used to a very good advantage if the general attitude of ridicule and fun-mimicking could be destroyed. Everyday you can hear someone exclaim, "Oh come on, there's nothing that you would be interested in." Just a lot of silly notices.
But to return to the first notice it mentioned. It is so vague and indefinite that it might fit anyone or everyone. Perhaps someday, in some unexpected way I can find the story behind it.
patterns and the lovely, awakening色料 combinations were of interest to K. U students, not only because of their artistic beauty, but also because a former schoolmate in The Museum of Moods is associated with the Schwitz studios. It was largely through the efforts of Miss Edmonds that this unusual exhibit was sent here, unanimous that it is quite a privilege to see such pieces. We are it is sold to the manufacturer.
Miss Edmonds was graduated from the University in 1954, and has been with the Schweizer studios since that time. So successful she has been, and her work so well received, that she is one of the most famous actresses in salary since last Christmas.
The 25 designs exhibited were the composite work of the different members of the studio. Although they sometimes work out their own designs entirely, they also work on the original idea, another will do the coloring, while still another will do other work on it. The distinctive plate in the left-hand corner of some of the charts, *H. Schweitzer*, Icpa. New York, 1978; *F. Erick*, was designed by Miss Edmonds.
Flooded Range Postpones Annual Rifle Match
The annual rifle match where the women pit their skill against the steady eye and quick trigger fingers of the 10 best male target breakers of the University has been postponed due to a partially flooded rifle range.
"Yes sir," says Scorpent C. E. Enle.
"I decided to go down to the riffle range Tuesday morning about 11, when I caught the door I head. I heard "BOOM!"
There probably wouldn't be any more rife matches this year had not come. It would be to mention "to see if everything was all right." The terrific "boom" was nothing less than the head of the steam heater on the rile range cracking wide.
Water was grubbing forth and rapidly spreading as Sergeant Engle rushed upstairs to the telephone.
"The line was busy at the first phone," says the Sergeant, "but I rushed into another room to try again. I did notid I must but the child stream filter."
After several trials the hot water was finally turned off. According to H. E. Eberhart, chief plumber, the tlipass valve had been left on and the heater pipes were unable to stand the pressure.
