OUR COUNTRYMEN DENOUNCE THE ITALIANS
For the past six months outraged cries have been emanating from our self-satisfied and righteous countrymen. Hurling epithets and insults at the Italian leader, Mussolini, has been a great and popular sport. How many times the now trite phrases "uncivilized wilkes," "ruthless savages," and "Napoleonic aspirations" have been used to describe the Italian nation in print and in speech, nobody knows.
Our countrymen would do well to look around in their own backyards. It is estimated that 5,000 men, women and children have lost their lives in the Inalo-Ethiopian conflict. During the first ten months of 1935, in the United States, 28,760 persons lost their lives in motor accidents and 4,500 persons were murdered.
Our countrymen denounce the Italians!
Crime is increasing, accidents are increasing,
public debt, Communism, Socialism and Radicalism
are increasing; only Conservatism is decreasing
and one can't help but wonder.
Gang warfare and control are just as strong, just as prevalent now as during prohibition days.
Recently a crusading editor was murdered, the state of Minnesota cannot afford to allow the murder of Walter Liggert to go unsolved, particularly since it is the second outrage of its kind in Minneapolis within little more than a year and no real progress seems yet to have been made in the solution of the other crime. Liggert was a sincere and vigorous whisperer, in his sleek newness he believed to be wide-spread political corruption in Minnesota. He was shot under circumstances that suggest he had become an intolerable menace to criminal elements in that state.
And our countrymen denounce the Italians!
The record discloses that since the United States supreme court declared void a legislative attempt to "gag" the press in Minnesota, two cruising editors have been murdered. Their deaths, in a special sense, constitute a challenge to the law enforcement agencies of the state and the nation, with Liggett's charge of collusion between crime and politics as a background.
Judge Richard Hopkins sentenced a man, who has been bootlegging for the past thirty years, to three years in the penitentiary and then placed him on probation. That man will have to turn probisionist if he wants to stay out of jail.
Big Business everywhere is as sure to find a way to trade with flaly as you are to worry over your approaching finals.
THE BAND MARCHES ON
Everyone who heard the University of Kansas band in its twenty-ninth annual fall concert Tuesday evening was pleased with its fine performance. Difficult and beautiful numbers were played with unusual ability. Visible proof of the excellence of the numbers was shown by the enthusiasm of the audience.
The University band proved itself to be well drilled and directed. Only long hours of practice could make possible the precision and feeling of the numbers offered. Individual solists also starred in their various offerings. While complimenting these, one should not forget that the excellence of the whole performance was possible only through the performance of each member of the band.
The band is one which would be creditable to any institution. Such organizations are great assets to any school and should receive the support of all the students. If the band continues to perform in the manner of last Tuesday, no lack of support should be shown on the part of students or faculty.
HOW ABOUT IT?
For some time there has been agitation for a change in the University class schedule, to change it from the cross step sort of thing it is now, to an even hour plan that would be in harmony with the rest of the activities with which college people are concerned.
During the past fall, the problem was brought before the University Senate for consideration. The proposition was referred to the calendar committee which is composed of two students and three faculty members. Prof. G. W. Smith, chairman of the committee working with the student members in particular, has endeavored to find the facts and will report to the Senate some time in the near future.
The proposed change would benefit the working student, the student who wishes to use the afternoon for entertainment, the athletic participant, the faculty by making it easier to conform to the outside time schedule and providing extra daylight after class periods. Objections to such a change seem to be most prompted by laziness.
Those of you who are interested in a change to an even hour schedule can do your part in securing action by sending in your reactions to the Kansan or by communicating your ideas to the calendar committee. The facts seem to favor a change but the schedule is for the service and convenience of each student and faculty member and each one should voice his preference in the replacement or retention of the present system.
SUNDAY INTERLUDE
A powerful coupe roars down the highway with a full cargo of laughing, joyous young people. The day is bright with sunshine, hearts are light and carefree, life is good.
The driver looks at the person beside him.
She is dainty and very desirable. His eye lingers on her. She is looking down to the floor, laughing at a witty remark. All are young and filled with the zest of living. The car is powerful and gay, personifying youth. It is new and not a scratch or blot marks its beautiful surface.
The driver looks up. An old man is standing in the middle of the highway, bewildered by the speed of the approaching car. There is the screech of rubber on concrete, a careening car, and a dull thud as the old man is dashed against the car, which ends its wild journey in a ditch.
The man is dead. The youths are not laughing. The dainty, desirable person is covered with blood and sobbing hysterically. The other occupants are cut and bruised. The driver's arm dangles uselessly from its splintered shoulder. Where there was laughter there is weeping, where there was life there is death.
The old man's body lies to the side of the road. The head is smashed beyond all recognition and splintered bones protrude from the gory mass that was once his body. The beautiful car is in the ditch. On the once perfect finish there is dirt, scratches and blood.
The young people are not injured seriously. The broken arms will knit and the cuts will heal, but there will always be scars, scars on the body and ugly scars on the soul—for they have been face to face with death and the memory is haunting.
DAMAGING EVIDENCE
It is hard to believe that there are those among us who have little regard for University property. When young people get to the age that they attend college one would think that they would not go around damaging valuable statues, as has been done in the Wilcox museum in Fraser hall.
We students of the University of Kansas have many collections to be proud of, and should take all steps in preserving them. The hertings of our school are valuable—keep them in good faith.
COLLEGE FACULTY. The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will meet on Tuesday, December 17, at 4:20 p.m. in Central Administration Auditorium. The report of the Committee on Revision of the Group System will be presented. The importance of this report makes a large attendance desirable.

PIRATICAL PACHACAMACS FAIL TO BOARD PSGL BATTLESHIP
James K. Hitt, President.
The Injured Admiral Nelson Fields Directs the Intricate Maneuvers That Lead to Victory
By Hugh Hadley, c'36
Local problems once more occupy the attention of the campus politicians after a mild sartise into the national political battlegrounds. The apparition of campus traditions arose from the earth of the football field and will plague freshmen of the future, and PSGL awoke from a exposure to publicity to find itself in undisputed control of the Men's Student Council.
This meeting had been long awaited, as the council knew both parties would struggle for control after the eligibility committee removed the Pachauneum brothers from the board. The wore were to be elected, and it took the decidement vote of President Field on the last one, to give a clean sweep to the party. The daylight, fulfilled eligibility requirements, and will be saved to the PSGL George Wright, who succeeded Walt Keuhner as Pacchacune floor leader. The party was away from his seat, but failed
The Council meeting on Wednesday night completely fulfilled the predictions of those in the know, that it would be possible to issue was clearly defined, and none of the maneuvered done by each side could cloud it. President Field arrose from his bed of pain, where he has been treated for a fracture of his leg, to steer the council among the treacherous尊 of eligibility, and managed to prevent the practical Pachiaeumms from boarding the PSGL ship from boarding and decapiting some of its crew.
The Council will probably be forced to adopt a fine for absence now, since the Pacchiacemans will have no reason for going. But they are marshalling all their forces now in an effort to prepare for the spring elections, which are already predicting will be heavy for the Pacchiacemans by a large majority.
The convention of the National Student Federation Association will be held the last of the month, under the sponsorship of the Men's and Women's councils. The committee is controlled by Gumar Nawarkh, last year's Pachaiwat Nawarkh, and the council is now basically figuring out how much money to give the committee to blow on the convention. No other school has ever spent more than $200 underwriting the conventions, which is privately supposed to pay its own way. Last year the retiring council appropriated $200 from the New committee werts to spend $25 of this on each of four delegates, instead of the customary two.
The traditions committee has reversed its former plan of building up a new tradition, and Frank Allen is seeking to preserve the legacy. Cover if any of the old ones have stay-
ipworms. He is to "compile a list of traditions and their history, origin and possibilities," and see which ones are most deeply rooted in University life. However, there are heavy odds that no matter which traditions he selects, the tradition itself will again be supplanted by the method of enforce-mentation, so students really can pick up the paddles dropped by the K-Club, and the freshmen will probably be just as glad, since the KuKu's don't wear so much.
espaing of ever getting a vote on the council by ordinary means, the freshman have decided to take along with them a proposal for better elections, by proportional representation. They want to elect members from each of the four classes, instead of from the schools, as at present.
A Corner On Books
By Charles Haward
"Autumn," by Robert Nathan. (McBride & Co., New York).
Life is essentially the same whereever human beings live together. The same love and fidelity, the same restraint, the same greed and meanness, ignorance and smallness of mind which are found in the largest city are likewise present in the tiny, isolated village of Hillboro and simple events of this novel take place.
Here old Mr. Jiminy has been the schoolmaster for thirty years. He had come to Hillsboro, a young man full of plans and fanfare from out of habit. At last it seemed to him as if it were his home. He had started out to build a new school in the wilderness. He had tried to teach his pupil an art, but he was disinterested—and Robert Nathan—of simplicity and content, but no one had understood him and all had thought him queer. Now he hoped to find one pupil to whom he could
We look in on the life of Hillboro for only three autumn months, but this is long enough. The hills and the woods will not change. Nor will the villagers. Youth will always have the same parity with their parents, but their consequences. People will not understand and forget. They will be oblivious to the beauty about them. The rich will fight the poor, and the poor the rich, and both classes will fight
There is futility in this book. Robert Nathan has little hope of the world's changing for the better. But in spite of his resignation, he constantly puts on the lips of Mr. Jiminy his own philosophy:
"I would like to teach you to be happy. For happiness is not in owning
How many men did you say were on your list?
Never mind the number . . . it can be one or fifty and you can shop your entire male-ing list in one hour if you will.
One trip to one store . . . the right one . . . and don't forget as you read this that where a gift comes from is just as important as where it is going.

much, but in owning little: love, and liberty, the work of one's hands, fellowship, and peace. These things have no value; they are not to be bought; but they alone are worth having. Do not envy the rich man, for cares destroy his sleep. And do not ask the poor man not to sing, for song is all he has."
