Women in Journalism
Today's issue of the Daily Kansan carries advertising obtained from Lawrence merchants by members of Theta Sigma Phi, honorary and professional journalism fraternity for women. This organization has come to play a significant role in universities of this country because it is recognizing the place women are coming to have in the field of journalism.
When newspapers were in their early days, woman's only connection with the newspaper was to scan its columns. Gradually, though, feminine interest has been growing in the field, until today women are playing an important part in newspaper and magazine work.
Woman's fight for prominence in journalism has not been an easy one. Her hardest job has been in trying to obtain a position rather than holding it. Many editors feel they are doing their duty to the weaker sex to employ several women on their staff. After securing the job feminine workers often find that they are required to do two the work of men, for sometimes lower pay, because they were so eager to work on a newspaper—to do just anything.
However, today some of our highest paid newspaper writers and editors are women, and the ability of women, as journalists, is more widely recognized than formerly. Soon women will reach their goal in journalism—which is to be accepted on an equal basis with men.
In baseball a man is benched for wrong doing.
But last week the Senate took judge Ritter off
the bench for the same reason—Wichita Engle.
Political Outlook
Politics is occupying much attention now in the press and on the platform of this country. Through the national conventions in June up to the election in November the public will be inflamed with a fever heat of speeches, promises, and arguments. Accusations will be fung from all sides. In the midst of it all a few clear-headed idealists will rise and make pleas for "clean politics." Professors in political science will be lecturing on the follies in our American system and pointing out definite evidences of corruption.
But what will happen? The public will fail for "hokum" and vote for the man who has doled out the most patronage. The majority of students in government will deceive conditions and then, after graduation, will look upon the state of affairs with an air of complacent tolerance. Some will go to the nearest "influential person" in search of a job. A handful will join the ranks of the crusading idealists. And education toward a better society will have been to little avail. Should not improvement of all phases of life after college be the sum of our education? Is it a mistake to think that public officials should be selected intelligently?

With the election of David Conderman to the office of Treasurer over Bill Townsend, the question that has raised his boud among many is, why was it necessary to elect a president? It was also doubted didate wash-elected it? Would appear, even to the most
superfiel observer, that all **v**as not what it should have been when the ballots were counted.
Now that a new council is in office their opportunity to legislate against this sort of discrepancy in ballot counting, is imperative to re-establish faith in student elections. If the students are from time to time to point out evils in college politics, and incidents such as these only serve to more piquenight show the continuity on the campus the futility of college politics. The council should take the initiative to prevent such discrepancies with any doubt and discrepancy at student elections.
This writer would propose that a board of election commissioners, or an election board, to be set up, composed of non-partisan members, who do not owe alllll's debts, and who are free to hold, conduct and count the ballots of a student election. In this way no over-zones party man counting will have an opportunity to commit W.D.C. returns.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The dulled party of year was held Friday evening with the supposedly "tops" band of Maurice Sherman doing the upancing. To say that they were "hourly" would not be correct, as they were one hour and a half late, with a better handwriting to take their place if they didn't show up, they labored through four hours of stock arrangements and old time records; they were all in a hurry. It is true, that they did play some current numbers, but these were nothing to rave about. After all it was only stock music they were playing from. It is too bad that the students had to be tricked and duped to the tune of "Cinderella," and they were to be booked for parties, why a really good one is not engaged. Why won't Horbie Key signed up? It would have been fairly easy, as he was playing an engagement on the Sunday and could have been easily brought over.
Another point, we have here on the Hill a band far more capable of satisfying a college group. Why wasn't it taken into consideration, when the selection of bands took place? Red Blackburn's is an exceptionally good hand for the Hill to have. Playing in a Benny Goodman manner expressing the "swing" type of music, he is without a peer in this part of the country and one of the finest college hands in the country. It is true, they play in theaters and restaurants and hotels of the East, but nevertheless they play a type of music that college students like. Kansas it seems, is too gullible and they must have a "nume hand" regardless of whether it is any good or not.

Robert Richardson, c.37. (Who is under suspicion of having thrown the bomb because he came to the meeting in an R.O.T.C. uniform.) "If the student body feels its peace has been disturbed, go ahead with the trial, but if the student body and the Peace Action committee are willing to let it go as a result, then the court should make its about as a tool of the radical boys."
