SOUVENIR HUNTERS
The souvenir hunter will probably always be with us. It seems to be a part of man's nature to desire a part or all of something as a keepsake or ornament which some time hence will serve to remind him of a place or an occasion. Since primitive man carried his fetish of this or that and gothic art into the forest, we have records of the practice being handed down through the ages in one form or another.
We may even believe that the modern souvenir hunter is a survivor of primitive man when we consider to what depths some of the hunters sink to fulfill their cravings. Perhaps the best examples of the modern souvenir hunter today are some of the present college students.
Already this year complaints have been made by proprietors of various establishments in Lawrence about students taking small articles with them when they leave. Most of them are of little value; but it is quite an annoyance to the merchant to have to be continually replacing these articles, only to have them taken again.
A trip through one of the fraternity houses would show what a large variety of articles are collected. Rooms are decorated with them. Everything from ash trays to "No Parking" signs fill up space on the walls, tables and floor. Among such articles are pictures, pennants, signs of all kinds, menus, salt and pepper shakers, bottles, dishes and sometimes silveryware.
Not only has this practice been prevalent in the downtown district but also in the various fraternity and sorority houses. From these latter places are taken victrola records, pennants, pictures and other small articles.
One would think that by the time a person reached the age of the average college student, he would outgrown such childish play, but evidently not. Is he just reverting to the primitive state or is he just failing to "grow up"? We are inclined to think the latter, in this case.
Add to the already large accumulation of useless information: A man in Hoxie, Kams., has raised a cucumber 40 1-2 inches long and 9 1-2 inches in circumference. Anyone good in figures can calculate how many bellyaces are in that "cuke."=Winfield Daily Courier.
We have many societies and organizations on the Hill, but one group seems to have been overlooked. A fraternity man suggests that a "mococh" society be formed. Anyone who can "mocch" five cigarettes, three cokes, and 15 cents in a single day would be eligible for membership.
A NEW PARTY?
As yet there is no thoroughly crystalized formation of a new political party in the United States, but it does appear that all of the forces that have been opposing President Roosevelt's leadership are attempting to get together for the 1936 voting.
The trouble with crystalizing the sentiment against the president is that there are too many views as to what he has done that is wrong. His continual jumps from right to left have caused some to oppose him because he is too radical, while some of our leaders believe that our president is a reactionary.
The remains of the dear dead Republican party are attempting to find sufficient support to swing the electorate. The Republican party has always been considered most conservative, but now many of its leaders are using another "line of chatter," and at the same time they are making an attempt to lure dissatisfied Democrats into their fold by talks of a Constitutional party.
A party supporting the constitution would be a vote getter in many respects. It would make a direct appeal to Al Smith's crowd and to dissatisfied southern Democrats.
There are a lot of people who are decided on one thing. That is they are opposed to the president, but the difficulty is that they cannot get together on a reason to oppose him.
Campus Opinion
Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kanan. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Since the apologists for the R.O.T.C. seem utterly incapable of presenting a significant case for the crops, they have ignored it.
National emergencies have arisen from time to time ever since there have been nations, and in view of the activities of the war departments, certain private interest groups have sought to ship in particular, it seems probable that the future will also be marked by similar emergencies. Arnold Bennett, in his play "Judith," puts in the mouth of one Old Testament patriarch the sentiment that Holoferre had rendered himself an enemy. This was after his armies had made war absurd and suicidal. This extinction has not yet been accomplished, however. In order that it may be, it is desirable to foster acceptance, military preparedness, armament races, and such things as aerial assaults that will intermine the race, thus patting an end to war.
With this tender and pacific purpose uppermost, the war department and its constituent professional soldiers inculcate through the R.O.T.C. the beliefs that war is inevitable until human nature is radically changed (which they do not propose to do): that a provocatively large military office best preserves the peace; that presidents should be able to discipline best embodies Christian principles; that every patriot should, on occasions, kill his brothers; that leadership consists in doing what you are told toe. In the degree to which this program is successful, it is obvious that it is very useful in creating high grade cannon fodder and an electorate sympathetic to the above forty principles. It is also useful in making men more manoe, because most youths lack the acuity for leadership possessed by men like Hiller and Musolini.
But to any idealist, and Christian, this use tends to appear undesirable, this praise somewhat doubtful. I am afraid there is no hope; the corps stands self-indicted. — A.C.A.
Editor Daily Kansan:
In spite of the prophetic and discouraging statement of Prof. J.A. Hese, German instructor at the University of Ohio, that "student military training will be popular as long as there are 25% of the men looking for a defect concealing uniform," the article of ACA. in Monday's Kansan press that the MOTC will be abandoned is not unacceptable. The report only does it impede the cause of international peace and goodwill, but it cannot fulfill its own purposes.
The Reserve Officers' Training Corps fosters a militaristic program which is entirely incompatible with the present pacificist mission to a permanent and lasting world peace. Militarism has failed; whether acceptance of the principles of Christ will do likewise cannot be ascertained, but they must nevertheless be tried.
Militarists exclaim that university students must be free to think as they please and that the R.O.T.C. teaches the nationalistic viewpoint regardless of whether this attitude is right or wrong—let the students decide. Discuss why the R.O.T.C. should not teach students to believe as they believe and not to think at all, it should be pointed out that liberalism of thought is not what they desire but rather acceptance of an outmoded theory. True learning has always cast our dominant ideas when they become antiquated; chemicals not only break down the history of a longer expound the divine right of kings.
Therefore it became the duty of educated Americans to cast out the theory of military preparations since it con-
tains a false impression of an aggressive force.
As A.C.A. has so admirably stated, the aim and effect of R.O.T.C. is to insure a same policy of adequate national defense. Just what our army and navy should be able to accomplish in order to protect themselves from shield the greedy munition proffesion; but military training has definitely accomplished one thing—to cause an ordinarily same populace to reach for rifles when William
The kernal of the whole affair is that the R.O.T.C., instead of training leaders for peace, is trained for them.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Here I thought the R.O.T.C. boys were a bunch of blood-thirsty warriors ready to fight at a moment's notice. But the letter of R.M.L. changed my mind. I was relieved to learn that the R.O.T.C. and the military men of the country are just great big boy scouts out looking for a good turn—R.W.

Universal Finger-Printing May Be Remedy for Recent Crime Wave
By Harald Rongeseger, c.36 Universal finger-printing for the prevention and detection of crime. That is the solution for the crime wave which began in 1984 may be in recent years as proposed by many peace organizations throughout the world.
"The public is finger print conscious," staked Jack Jenkiel, chief of the fingerprint division of the Kansas City, Kansas city police. "With the great number of kidnappings lately, the public is demanding a remission from the country offer the best solution."
"The unidentified body of a young girl who had been murdered was found on a lonely rind on the outskirts of Kansas, on October 6, 1934. No one ever identified her, and she viewed it and could not tell who she was. There were 18 positive identifications, but those were exploded upon investigation. In April, six months after investigation, the remains were discovered.
Such a procedure would not only greatly help in the detection of crime, but would serve as an identification in cases where it is needed. M. Jenkins cited a case where finger prints would be used in his department much time and money.
funded. Hundreds of dollars were spent in telephoning, telegraphing, and in time wasted. This would have all been saved if we had had her finger print record?" Finger printing is not an art developed by the United States, but in newspapers that Bertillon invented the system, but this is erroneous. The first attempt to classify these patterns of the skin was made by Porkenko, professor at the University of Breslau in 1823.
Sir William Herschel is credited with the first practical use of finger prints He used this method as means of identification in India as early as 1858.

The method used in obtaining these marks is comparatively simple. When the finger is pressed against the surface of an object it leaves a mark. Fine powerpaste adhesive can be applied to graphic is spritched lightly over the top. When the powder is blown off, it leaves a distinct outline of the print. The ridge patterns on the skin of the finger are permanently destroyed short of a mutualization of the finger itself. When the skin is rubbed off or burned, the marks grow back exactly in the same location.

is always positive. No two finger prints are exactly alike; each person has a design 'd' indication to himself alone.
The proposed plan for universal finger printing includes one great file to be located in Washington, D.C., where all the records would be kept. In this manner, any desired print could be obtained within a few minutes time.

Such a plan would pay for itself in a short time. The cost of obtaining every individual's record would be offset by the amount of money and time saved by every police department in the country.
