FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 24, 1936 NO MORE INVESTIGATION? Investigation by the senate munitions committee has evidently ceased because of lack of funds and support. The committee, with Senator Nye at its head, stirred up considerable comment when President Woodrow Wilson was accused of falsifying reports which tended to bring the United States into the war on the side of the allies. Carter Glass, fery Virginia Democrat and staunch supporter of the war time president, denounced the denombers with such vigor that his fist became bloody from pounding on the desk. Epiphates were hurled back and forth with the friends of Wilson declaring that the investigating committee had for its sole purpose the idea of debanking Wilson and his administration. "If it were permissible under the senate rules to say that any man who degrades the character and integrity of Wilson is a coward, I would say it," declared the irritated Virginian. It seems that the senatorial investigating committee could really do something worth while if it were left alone and did not consider politics. There is no doubt that the work done by such a committee could be very helpful in keeping the United States from being drawn into another war. There is much mystery concerning the entry of the United States in the World War. It has almost positively been brought out that American munitions makers had much to do with our entrance. The purpose of the munitions committee is to study the activities of the munitions makers and other circumstances so that in case of a European war, effective steps may be taken to prevent our participation. The committee's failure in its investigation has made it more difficult for Congress to preserve our neutrality in case of international conflict. Senator Borah has cast his lot against the Townsend plan because in his opinion it won't work. Well, neither will a slot machine except for its owner, but that never seems to discourage any of those who play one—Hutchinson News. This world is no nursery. It's not set for a holiday of fishing and sleeping; not made for play-boy's it was made to give heroes a place to stand on—Dr. R. J. Clinchy, Washington, D. C. WHAT ABOU. COOPERATIVES? In the Summer of 1934 there was a convention in London where 453 men representing 31 nations and 100,000,000 persons met to discuss the problems and better methods of furthering a movement that is not very well known in this country. It was the convention of the International Cooperative League. Various cooperatives have been started in this country, notably among them the National Grange Movement, which, due to its entrance into politics, has changed from an active cooperative into a dormant political organization. Cooperatives have been worked in many places in this country, and have served their purpose remarkably well. The cooperative represents a group of people who are unable to secure a market for their products and so organize into a group from which all can benefit from each other's product. There is a large cooperative store in Minnesota which has proved to be quite a success, and which has enabled members to purchase necessities at a reduced rate and at the same time enjoy small dividends at the end of the year. The cooperative movement is not so strong in this country as it is in foreign lands. Finland, which, by the way is the only country to make regular payments of its war debt to this country, is almost entirely cooperative, and this little country weathered the depression in much better shape than did some of its better known brothers. Thirty per cent of the population of Sweden is served by cooperatives, and the New York Trust company acknowledges the fact that the Cooperative union of Sweden to be in a strong position and contributes greatly to the economic stability of the country. An agreement has been reached for settling the Gran Chaco war in South America. Oh, well, it had just about been killed off by competition from other parts of the world, anyhow—K. C. Kansan. Campus Opinion Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kavan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: As a student of the University of Kansas, I wish to protest against the treatment of the colored members of the student body—treatment which, I understand, is detrimental to deliberate policy of the Union Operating Committee. I refer to an incident which I witnessed in the fountain room of the Union building. Four colored students had chained to sit in a booth next to, but not included in the committee meeting, and were parently unconcerned with the racial prejudice imposed by the rulings of the Committee, were lurking in the segregated section. Because the Negro students were not sitting in the "understudied" section, they were refused entry into the meeting, and the students complained to the manager. The manager, rather than break the rules laid down to him, was forced to request that the white students exchange places with the colored students. Immediately the most embarrassing situation was over, and the student was disgust on the part of both spectators and participants. It is disfecund that such things can and do happen at a state university, maintained by taxes leveled without discrimination. Especially it is a cruel irony that such intolerance is practiced in the Union building, erected as a memorial to students killed without racial discrimination in the World War. The thought that such conditions are prevalent on the campus, and that the recurrence of such a situation is not only possible but probable, makes me ashamed, for the first time, of my alma mater. Technically the student body is presumed to sanction the rulings of its representatives, but I feel personally obligated to express my absolute dissent from this policy. I think that the rule should be enforced at least because they should be freed from an intolerance (the product of ignorance) which is opposed to the ideals of the University. Alice Haldeman-Julius. Our Contemporaries FALSE COLORS During the Christmas holidays a new organization drawing its members largely from a merger of the Student League for Industrial Democracy and the National Student League, was formed at a convention held in New York on December 18, 2016, the name of the "American Student Union," despite earnest plea, made by officials of the Association of College Unions, that the name already had a specific connotation on a large number of compi. Disregarding the well-founded advice that the Association of College Unions should not be able to useake of a coagmen which could not be justly theirs. this action was decidedly unwide, undesirable and unwarranted. The merger of these several organizations under this new name will cause untold misunderstanding and confusion. Student Unions are the gathering places for students who want to discuss and allow the use of their rooms for recognized non-partisan student activities. The American Student Union should have sought advice from the established Association of College Unions, represented on our campus by Houston Hall, and thus might have found the best position for meetings. Now they have created needless antagonism. We have no argument with the policies of the newly formed organization. Any associations which are formed to stimulate student thought on grave political matters contribute their part to the cause of education. But we deadare a most vigorous objection to the usurpation of some of our institutions, because they are the most beneficial and established parts of campus life. —Daily Pennsylvanian. In order to protect Houston Hall's reputation which has come to be recognized wherever Pennsylvania men gather, we certainly urge that the local chapter of this group (the "Friends of Campus") make no effort to call itself by the misleading name, "American Student Union." In all fairness the college should request such information to such a group, should this request go unheeded. GRIPERS Why final examinations? Why? Why? Why? (Ad infinitum.) 1. They disturb regular sleeping hours. To gripe or not to gripe—that is the question. 3. Not to mention stomach trouble and hurry-gulped meals. What is the case against them? **I go up or not to go up** is the question. But with approaching sorrowful pushes in mind, I find it hard to speak out. My school scholar—to speak my say on the subject of final examinations in humane record for my fellow students and weeps 4. Disturb the Epicurean dislike for extreme regard of earthly affairs. 5. Necessity for cramming for ordeal increases the rate of forgetting facts after the trial is over. Gripers of the jury! Twelve men and true! Shall the health of the youth of America be undermined? Shall the Infirmary ward for broken-down students be able to educate education in America? By Jove, what we do. Solution: Quit school and join the Italian army in Ethiopia—Daily Cardinal. Ancient Antics 20 Years Ago B. D.L.I. *Stand by your teachers in their hour of need says Elbert Hobbard of the college student—(That's a good idea that they's standing by you at final time).* A freshman fainted in one of Doctor Naismith's classes the other day—he was showing the students what to do when first,aid was necessary-Without expecting it he had a willing subject for his lecture-He explained that it is very common for students to faint in his classes during this lecture. A member of one of Copper's newspaper staffs talked to the journalism classes the other day and stated that the hand of opportunity for the journalism graduate lay in South America or Europe. The fourth birthday of the University Daily Kansan is today—The name was applied to the student publication in 1912—One of the first publications on appear on the Hill was the University Pastime in 1878—Other early publications were the Idler, Oread and others. A Filipino student at Kansas is taking 29 hours—To tap that he works outside to earn his way through school —One student on the Hill is becoming a competent play producer—One play producer, to be produced by a group of professional players. He now writes, "Jimmy Jay hawk," for the dramatic prize competition. (I don't know whether this professional writer won the prize or not, but that few years this competition has designated to an amateur hour standing.) The University Daily Kanan was the first paper to refuse cigarette advertising. You see cigarettes are illegal in the state of Kansas, to get them is not as easy as it looks, and day by day for liquor. Anyway it was not uncommon for some ardent campaigning newspaper to give the cigaret evil a good soak in the jaw through the edible parts. This meant the protector of public and private mortals engaged in the campaign. Many students are gripping because the smell of cooking onions comes from the basement of Fraser hall—It is feared that the statue on display in that building will get hungry and come down off the pedestals and look for something to eat. fleching in all the eastern colleges—Umbrellas and overshoes are missed mostly by the co-eds. Stealing is getting to be quite the vogue in all universities says one article in the Kansas—Why only last week there was a class of women and now that event has satired like Western Union messengers bring the Kanman to any person who fails to get it because of carrier failure to deliver it — That was really giving the subscriber service. It might be a good idea for the Kanman to have a photobucket copy of each morning in every borough each morning—at least the scandals would be fresher. Punching the clock by University hirings at the student cafeteria at Northwestern University will be stopbed because the student help have got up on the job and upon by the rest of the student body because they dispense food and are forced to punch the clock. (they all will go in the future anyway so why worry?) The Kansan is litting today its prominent graduates who are named recently in politics. William Borah, senator of Texas and alumni of the prestigious alumni who now is spoken of as an ideological possibility. (How come we never hear now that he was a graduate here. Maybe it's because he's thinking about his future, which has never been out of his own state.) --in the history of rail transportation has made a trip on Union Pacific trains a new experience in travel pleasure.
