HFRE IS MAN
Everywhere, up and down Europe, the fighting men and the fighting machines are gathering. And for what—if not because every nation is deathly afraid of every other?
It is a tragic commentary on this generation's inability to come to grips with its fundamental problems. In all these war-like countries the basic difficulty is the same—unemployment, stagnant business, the baffling complexities of a society which has learned how to multiply the production of goods, but has hardly begun to learn how to distribute them among its people.
As long as fear rules, the powers must pile up great armies, hold maneuvers on a scale only less expensive than war itself, fill the sky with grimly droning air squadrons, and get the costly gray warships afloat on the seas.
The money, the energy and the devotion that might go to make life easier for millions of people must instead be spent to prepare for death and destruction.
Tere is man. Arrived at last at the point where every human being in the world could be provided food and shelter and all the comforts and luxuries of modern civilization, with a minimum of properly apportioned labor. He possesses the machinery, every factor necessary to that long visioned goal—except the intelligence to properly use them.
The Democrats are too clever to solve all our problems this year. They are arranging to have a stream we mustn't change horses in the middle of.
EMBRYONIC RACKETEERS
Gangster tactics are being used on the University campus. The problem concerns that of book snatching. It has been worked on several students and it is time we protect ourselves against such practices.
The racket is worked in the following manner: The would-be rockeeter goes to the library. Appearing to study, he watches for an opportunity to snatch a valuable book some student has left lying on the tables. When the student returns and finds his book missing he inquires of the other people around the table about his book. Of course, it cannot be found. In the next three or four days this student is approached by a fellow student who informs him that his head can find it. By paying one dollar the book is located, and the student can go get it. It sounds fantastic, but it has been worked several times in our library.
Students, watch your books. If they are taken, report the so-called "go-between man" and this situation should be speedily remedied.
Nothing having been heard from Jimmy Walker since his return, it is presumed he is a victim of New York's noise crush.

A policy of isolation is called a "splendid isolation." Why is it more splendid to be by yourself than with others?" Stanley Baldwin.
Campus Opinion
Articles in this column do not necessarily require the use of a font, but some are intended to be used. Length are lengths are to curving by the editor. Conventions vary according to the author's style.
Weston Library is the source of books for students and faculty of the University of Kansas. There are many rules and regulations for students about the proper procedure of checking out books on reserve, over-night
Editor Daily Kansan:
and about 14-day books. And most students are willing to abide by these rules.
But the faculty wakes aside these under-graduate regulations and assumes that the library is solely for their special convenience. Some" use their professional preoperative to the extent of just adding to their own libraries the books that are available, but it also provokes a roughly a matter of mind-mindedness on the part of the professors, but it must be remembered that students might sometimes like to look at the identical book that the faculty member has checked out three years before. What chance has a student against this extra special privileged group of pro-
Students do not ask very much of the faculty. But could the professors be more considerate of other people and return books after they have had them for half a month? - NM.
Editor Daily Kansan:
In a Campus Opinion, attacking the present form of activity book, one "D.C.'s," said, "why are not the Kansan and the Jayhawker included at a fair cost? They represent student enterprises, but they also represent every student something for his money." I think there is a good deal of truth in D.C. so aptly express remark. Several schools, for example Kansas State, have their school papers and year books available for free; many knowledges such a plan is proving entirely satisfactory.
There are many students who cannot afford to take the Kenan and the Jayhawker after they have paid $8.75 for their compulsory activity tickets. There are also countless books at a reduced price, a great number of students would be pleased with the arangement. No matter how much a student works he still has time to enjoy the student paper and the year book. Even though the price would be more than it is now, the cost would result weeks far outweigh the increase in price.
The administration could remove the cause for a great amount of criticism of the compartmental activity in the brain.
Sincerely, B.C.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The efforts of the Kansas to awaken the slumbering (It is worse than Rip Van Winkle)'s responsibilities of the administration have at least pricked a wonderful conscience. For years the old wooden library leaves have a sore spot on our campus. Recent acts toward beautifying the campus have met with the hearty approval of the students. But the most needed improvement still remains worse than a sore thumb. It's not so much an improvement but a challenge. What could be caused by buildings mans the campus simply because a job remains unfinished. The students through the medium of the Kansas, have again urged the completion of an unfinished job.
In answer to those urgings the old rickety library steps are being repaired. When it gets wet and slippery the students will no longer fall through the steps because a pricked conscience has ordered the boards boarded up. The danger of serious accidents is lenced but the steps are still there. To complete the repairing of the steps it might be a good idea to paint them pink and green with a dash of yellow-nose mustard oil. All it will do is enable you for library steps that is offered. Students no longer suffer an indignity when going up the wooden steps, but they would like their steps colored; that would be something any-way.

SINLESS YOUNG GIRLS SHOULD PERUSE NEWSPAPERS WARILY
Damsels Who Have Never Known Iniquity Cannot Be True
Christians, Said Speaker in 1888
By Mary Rutter, c'37.
"Should young girls read the daily newspapers? Now, just a moment, dear reader, don't start after me with that ax. Wait until I explain. You see, that was the title of a lecture delivered in 1888 before the convention of the National Educational Association, by one of the speakers at the conference and liberal speech it was, too; one which undoubtedly required a great deal of courage to give.
Mr. Soland answered his own question in the affirmative, with reservations. He began by giving the reasons most paralleled to letting their children read the paper.
"It has been claimed that young girls should not be allowed to read the daily newspapers because there are more books and sources to their susceptible and unformed characters. The daily press is a mirror, reflecting not only the lofty heights of human achievement but also the same depth of social degradation. 'Evil communications corrupt good manners.' Familiarity with descriptions of sin and crime will harden the heart and blind the sensibil
Mr. Soldn then bravely took issue with these parents on the ground that one who has never known what sin is not really never be a true Christian. He said.
"Under no conceivable circumstances can the young girl learn to know the world as it is, in a safer mode, than through the window of the daily newspaper. She sees the moral spectral sumers of amuses pursued by the children of public opinion. If she contemplates too steadily the pictures of degradation and begins to be fascinated by them, she betrays the tendency to her mother or to some member of the family and a counterpart of her father. If she grows up in ignorance until she encounters the vicious

--reality in later life, she is not prepared for it, and falls an easy victim to the allurements of sin. This is the lesson of seclusion and redemption, and the importance of isolation in their schools produces the life of intrigue described in French novels. They must be gradually injured to contain with the world. The wise person would taught by degrees to the spectacle of the world as it is and seek most of all to make her strong against temptation and yet without self-rightness." And now come the resumption.
The seniors defeated the juniors 20-4 in their annual football battle and the sophomores took the freshmen 12-7. The seniors had a 200 pound line.
The Engineer's smoker is to be held tonight. It is hoped by coach Hamilton that the interclass team will uncover new talent for the Jahawk team.
Sisters of the Alemania hiked to Six Corners where they got stuck. It seems there was no train from Leavenworth to Lawrence that day—Finally a motorist carried the girls back into galley. "Get off my lintern diater gal!"
The *lh grippe epidemic* is spreading — The Kanman is stoutly campaigning against the telephone trust — It thinks phones should be owned by the mu-cult, it equips teachers to look up the professor who you can't make grades under, tell him how much you liked his course and ask what is he teaching next semester.
Editorialists have been appearing frequently in the Kansan supporting Preparedness. (A recent book showed how this propaganda was foisted upon the public through the medium of the all powerful newspaper.)
Wives of professors, women faculty members, and employees of the University of Utah, participate in a physical education—At the freshman mixer last night, there was a terrific fight involving five freshmen—Other girls field off any attempts to stop the fight.
"Pretty Little Sister of Joes" is the title of the picture at the Bowersock-A wrestling bear using a man as a wrestling man is an added attraction
An editorial asks why we do not have military training at Kansas. Yet, in the same issue, there was an article written by a former KC recruiter on the cost of preparedness.
The Kanaan has a woman editor for the first time—One dose wasn't enough, we've got one now). The mayor of Lawrence refuses to allow students to coast in the city streets. Even though she doesn't allow the streets to be used—if I had a blue ribbon under my chin, I'd like to go roller skating.
Convict No. 27328 of the California State Penitentiary at San Quentin, writes the University extension service asks for books on salemanship (He told the reporter that when he gets out, or maybe there was a chapter, "A Plea to the Warden")
"It does not follow from my theory of the newspaper that all newspapers are equally good. The "Police Gazette" species should be avoided because it is viewed side view of crime and often describes it from the criminal's point of view. It does not place it in the perspective of the events of the world as does the daily newspaper as does the journal find support for improvement.
The problem of keeping the modern girl from reading the newspaper has been largely eliminated. She is too busy hurly around in a car with the newest boy friend or staging at the latest party. The problem is that she tries to care very much who divorces her and why.
There are, however, three pages in a newspaper which do interest the modern maiden. They are the comic section, the continued story, and the lovelove column. The worth of a continued story is judged by the number of times it says "Hector pressed Mille passionately to him, then kissed her gently, murmuring 'My sweet, my own true love,'" and about what to do with old fashioned parents who won't let daughter have a good time.
If you should chance to go into a schoolroom, you would discover that several of the textbooks which the students seem to be perusing so enthusiastically are really concealing covers for a "True Confessions" magazine.
It is a said fact the "Police Gazette" species which Mr. Soldan so vehemently criticised in now considered entirely too tame. The most popular magazines at tame are *The New Yorker* and in particular type of joke such as "Baby-hoo," and "Judge."
Returning to the matter of the benefits of a paper, as understood by Mr. Soldan, I doubt very much if the present young ladies would be particularly impressed with the "moral spectacle of samuris pursued by avenging demons of the law and of public opinion." They were not the least sketch of a notorious woman handi who smoked cigars and was clever enough to elude capture.
It also happens that this idea of counting on mothers to countet "the tendency to contemplate too steadily the pictures of degradation" does not take into account the fact that too easy reading "Modern Love" or "True Story" to notice that her daughter
may be straying from the straight and narrow path. This type of literature is not limited to any particular class. One may see a large辛甜 car drive up to a drug store, a woman swathed in fur socks, or a man couch out with an arm full of this slush.
However, don't get the idea from this that modern society is going to perdition. It is doubtful if the youth of today are any worse than those of a former generation who were raised in keeping pace with the times. They live a more healthy open life and are not compelled to hide forbidden literature behind their backs on the approach of their parents. They move away much of the previous fascination and stigma. Modern parents would, therefore, agree with Mr. Seldan that young girls ought to read the daily newspapers, but they should grow up surrounded by standards, those of common sense and straightforwardness.
