PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS TUESDAY, APRIL 21. 1930 Comment Legislative Peace Action Peace is the topic of the hour. Essay contests, peace forums, peace mobilizations, V.F.W. organizations—all indications of a growing fear of war and desire to keep the United States out of it. What are the actual causes of war? With whom does the power of ds claring war lie? What can be done to help adjust international tensions? Those are the questions that t must be answered when we attempt to find a reedy for war. Economic pressure and politics are so closely intertwined that to separate them in determination of the causes of international tension is veritably impossible, but we do recognize that war comes as an attempt to resolve that tension. Economic conditions may be adjusted eventually but the natural economic evolution is often too slow to prevent an armed conflict. It is to the political phase that we must look for action quick enough to prevent war. In Congress lies the sole power of declaring war in the United States. Theoretically, at least, the Congress is the legislative group representing the people. It is within the rights, powers and even duties of the voting public to demand that its legislators refuse to declare war with another nation if the people do not wish to go to war. It is within the same power that the voters can demand a pacific solution of international arguments. When the idea of peace can be sold to the voters not only of the United States but to those of other countries and those voters are fully cognizant of their legitimate powers, then we will be approaching a real remedy for war. It develops that the oldest war on which our government is still giving pensions is that of 1812. Hurrah the Revolution is paid for. Atlanta Constitution. Congratulations Compliments are due to the Engineering School for the fine manner in which its annual exposition was run off last week-end despite competition from the many activities of Relays weekend. Special effort was made to simplify the displays that they might be easily understood by all visitors and this special care in popularizing the exhibits was thoroughly appreciated by all who attended. Congratulations and best wishes for continued successes in the future. Election Day After a series of charges and counter charges by both Pacachamac and PSGL, the men students of the University will today elect, through the proportional representation system of balloting, their choices for next year's Men's Student Council. As in last year's election which resulted in PSGL winning the majority of the major council positions, indications are that the balloting again promises to be close. It is the prime duty of every male student of the University to take advantage of his franchise and cast his vote for the candidates and party policies that seem to him best qualified to direct and control student government. Following the lection, it is then the obligation of each and every voter to see that the successful candidates carry out the policies and principles they advocated and the voters supported. On a whole, the campaigns of both parties were outstanding through their lack of fire and color. It is doubtful if the charges and counter charges advanced by PSGL and Pachacamac will succeed in gaining votes. About the only thing accomplished by the numerous pamphlets was to give an unsurly appearance to the campus and draw a few oaths from Halle Harris, head janitor of the University.

Speed—Our False God Sometime ago in his column known as “What Irvin I. Cobb Thinks about” the homely Kentucky philosopher made an interesting approach to a problem that has become one of the most formidable in America—speed as a cause of death. He says: "Once upon a time there was a strange race, that while in some ways was quite civilized, yet worshipped a monstrous god. "Now this god demanded human sacrifices. He had high priests who ministered to his images; he had countless devotees who traveled about, gathering in the victims to feed his cravings. The feeble and the careless, the aged dodger, and the unweary child—these were his favorite offsprings. Yet the collectors spared none at all, neither the strong nor the halt nor the helpless. Often, in their madness, they destroyed one another. Each year the cruel tally mounted—so many thousands dead, so many hundreds of thousands crippled and broken. "These curious people lived in a place called America and the god they worshipped was called SPEED."—Daily Northwestern. Campus Opinion **Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kawan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited.** Editor Daily Kansan: Here are some questions about the students' grading of faculty members; 1. If the grading is to be fair, should not the student's grade, in a given course, be considered along with his vote? There is often a remarkable correlation between a student's grade and his opinion of the instructor. 2. This means that instructors who have students with low grades—as is likely to be the case in beginning retections, consisting largely of people who failed the first semester—will be a decided disadvantage. 3. What proportion of students will be represented? What precautions are there to prevent a disgruntled student from voting a number of times? What about favoritism on the part of special groups? 4. Students are usually graded on the basis of intelligence, background of knowledge, industry. Apparently these are not desirable qualities in faculty members, if one is to judge by the way the ballot is worded. Teachers who know how to exploit misinformation, are thus placed ahead of those better equipped. Many teachers have invented a system for assessing students by taking a public vote? At least the faculty is farer to the students; it does not publish their grades. 3. Instructors' grades should represent impartial judgment, given without four or favor. This can hardly be the case if students are in position to embarrass their teachers or parents. Students will not mail it if there to be a call of this sort, it might not more widely be left to seniors or graduate students who are unsuspecting about how they would behave in school, learn, rather than upon the instructor's peculiarities? A Graduate Student. Editor Daily Kansan; The students of K.U. are asked to participate in a demonstration protecting against war and advocating peace. This demonstration or Peace Mobilization is scheduled for April 22, and will be only a part of a national movement in which a half million students are expected to participate. Every college in Kansas is expected to old some demonstration for peace. The Peace Mobilization movement at K.U. has been organized by delegates from several special groups such as the radicals; although individuals who are labelled as such are interested in the movement. It is not the desire of those interested to cause trouble or to attempt any political strategy. The mobilization has a two-fold purpose: to crystallize student opinion for peace, and to demonstrate to those in power that the intelligent students of today are willing to work for such. They can be taught to thousands of students turn out to protest against war. The Peace Mobilization will be held at 10:30 a.m. It shall be a peaceable assembly and student speakers are expected to make up the panel. This movement represents an effort to inform students that let us show our alertness and insight by supporting it. Very truly yours, D.J.R.

Run Travels 168 Miles Daily; Driver Finds Job Fascinating "Yes, I think I like the KU run. kut…" "I never eat on my shift. All the ter than the North Lawrence run," said mall other drivers, and I used to do it. Glen Bailey as he pulled the KU bus. but I'm out of the habit now. When 6 to a stop to admit a passenger, "I don't a clock comes, I never think about it." He pulled the bus, but I'll eat when I get home tight I haul more people. He pulled the night trip from my last trip off the hill at bell and started down the Hill. "People 9:45." "I make 22 trips on my shift in the afternoon and evening, and the other driver on this run makes the same number in the morning and the early part of the afternoon." Mr. Bailey, who is a quiet, courteous, unassuming performer of build and meet of appearance, was traveling almost four miles on each trip and that the total mileage for each day is about 168 miles. He struck a match to read the speedometer while the passengers unloaded. "This bus has gone 96,327 miles since the KU. run was started two years ago last October," he said. The vehicle's climbing meter, clamped the bell several times and pulled away from the curb. "How do you manage your evening meal when you are driving?" asked an interested passenger. The Roving Reporter Conducted by Steven David, c37 Question: Are you going to vote a straight ticket in the coming elections? Why or why not? Edric Rice, c. 236; it seems unnecessary to even question that a student vote anything but a straight ticket and, furthermore, a straightforward Pacchacamac票件. Pacchacamac party shows obviously their formulation of a carefully prepared, workable, and concrete plan for the definite advancement of student government. Controlling with this is feasible "program" of vote-buting instructions for the GL's and craftily designed to leave them under no responsibility to the student electorate for their enuing failure to effect anything so impossible. As a working student, I take personal responsibility for the "program", which were it not for the fortunate reason that it is impossible of fulfillment, would attempt to place political restrictions on the right of myself and every working student to obey them. Finally I will vote a straight ticket, and furthermore a straight Pacchacamac票件. Mark Nichols, c'97; I do not believe it would be quite cricket to make a statement until the Pachacamacs formulate a platform. Hudley Hadden, c36; I am going to vote a straight P.S.GL ticket because I feel that party has men who are sincerely trying to work out a program for our better student government. The P.S.GL platform will wardly striving to institute reforms which will materially better conditions now prevailing on the campus. The P.S.GL platform contains only planks that can be worked out practically, with subtleist atrocities at vote-getting regimes of what may be the consequences. Bob Corey, b/37? "Having seen the uterior futility of the operation of the student council this last year, I feel it's imperative that the next council be composed of a large majority of Pachaemon, who will vote a straight Pacchacon ticket. You will find these in a tempting array on our Eat Fruit and Fresh Vegetables SALAD COUNTER "Does anything unusual ever happen?" 科 at the University Dining Room In the Union Building "No, the run is usually the same old routine. I have had only three accidents since I began," and Mr. Bloey, who was the fire chief, recently cold weather this winter. Each time cars skidded on the ice and struck the bus when it was standing still," he continued as he shifted gears to start the engine of the accident did much damage." "I have been in this same kind of business a good many years," explained Mr. Bailey modestly. "I have run the Interurban, the Haskell street car and occasionally. I ran the KU, street car, and I drove the North Law- rence bus about two years before I was transferred to this run. It will be 26 years in May since I started with the Kansas Electric company." New Marker For Center of City Firmly Fastened Three times Mr. R. C. Manley put a painted pillar pillar inscribed "Center of Lawrence" in front of the new city hall. Three times it was surreptitiously by some student with a sense of humor. But that student will have to work hard to get away with the new marker. It consists of a haphole set in concrete, faced with a marble slab. Mr. P. O.
