WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1935 WORDS TO A LINE CRASHER Say, say do you think you are anyway? Just because you have a friend up there at the head of the line doesn't mean you can crowd in ahead of everyone else. Get back here where you belong. Or maybe you are the great God of the campus and we, your humble subjects, should kneel while you transact your business. Or perhaps your time is so valuable that you cannot wait your turn in line. Time to us means nothing until you are served. Yes. I know that one more person in the line does not amount to much; it’s the principle of the thing that rises us. You belong here at the end of your journey, and you don’t trying to “chisel” a place from your friend. But go ahead, you ill-mannered off. We won't say anything. We will try to be gentlemanly and let you blunder along, smug and conceived in the idea that you are putting something over on us; that you are getting ahead of the crowd. Our hats are off to you Mr. Line-Crasher. We like you. The first thing congress will do after the depression disappears is to stake a $100,000 investigation to find out where it went—McPheron Republican. At the close of a summer season we don't know which hangs on the longest, the flies or hay fever. —Winfield Daily Courier. EVERY MAN AN ATHLETE If the meek should inherit the earth some Mussolini would be waiting to take it away from them. - Topeka Daily State Journal. Intramural sports, so popular in years past, will get under way next week. Any student who feels the athletic urge should register at the athletic office in Robinson gymnasium thereby making himself eligible for a team. Touch football, horseshoe, tennis and handball teams will compete. Many organized houses and several independent teams will be in the field. There will also be inter-organizational, freshman; and open track meets, as well as a freshman tennis tournament. So you need not be a varsity man to be an athlete. In intramurals the only requirement is a desire to play and the ability to stand on your feet. Philosophers say that the only real profit in life is what you do for others. But we suppose most of our friends don't read the philosophers.-Oklahoma Daily. The most futile fight of the year will not be Italy's attempt to conquer Ethiopia, but the one among the late Huey Long's heteenants for the possession of his crown. Without Huey, as they will eventually discover, there isn't any crown—Jack Harris. PLANKS AND KNOWLEDGE Eleven years is quite a while. Nonetheless it is the time which the "temporary" scaffold and makeshift steps have served as an entrance to Watson library. For eleven long years the unsightly planks have marred the majesty of one of the most beautiful buildings on the campus. For eleven years, students and teachers have gingerly climbed the rickety scaffolding, risking life and limb in the pursuit of knowledge. For the first few years the scaffold could be excused for various reasons, such as allowing the ground to settle, and the laying of sidewalks. But now the ground has settled and been landscaped and nothing remains to be done but the building of the entrance. Of course, now that we have used the present arrangement for so many years we could go on doing the same. But it would be so much better, safer and more beautiful to have the entrance completed. Campus Opinion Did any of the writers about why you should not take R. O. T. C. ever try taking it to find out what it was all about? I would like to tell the truth about it from the first year, and then four years and can tell just what it is without guessing. Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Runaway. Articles over 200 words in length are subject to cutting by the editor. Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: War time is very much like peace time—a person must live. The first year in R. O. T. C. a person finds out how to take care of himself in keeping physically fit. Any civilian ought to know that, R. O. T. C. teaches the men to be leaders of other men and no one can lead them to keep themselves fit if they do so. The people who need R. O. T. C. can be used in any person's life—it fits to be prepared for such things that are not apt to happen to anyone. Did you ever try sleeping out all night, or taking a long hake into the country? The army has done it for so long you have found out how and are willing to teach them how to do it. You can see such a thing you might find out that you know how when you do try it and get home with sore feet. War time is not the only time that you may have to do something else, but if you people into tents and roughing it. Why do you suppose the army is always called on to help out those people? Because they know how! Someone has to do it. If we didn't have a trained army who would take care of us. could go on telling many other ways that an army training can help you out in civil life, but this article as far as military training is concerned—sure we find out that I don't think anyone can say that there will never be another war, and as for me, I want to know why they would. But I'm sure they would take care of myself when I do have to fight. I won't want to sit at home wishing there were someone else to protect this country that has given我 my freedom. I am willing to accept it. If you have come here to the university to find out what life is all about and know a little history along with it, you must remember that this country always has had an army and always has fought wars. Why not take a little of your time in school learning just why these wars were fought and why we have an army? After it is all over and you have spend four years learning something that will always be of use to you in civil life you will have a chance to get your commission in the reserve officer's corps of the U. S. army. That reserve officer's commission alone has gotten many men a job that they would not otherwise have had—jobs paying money. Above all, if you are against the army and think that it is not your duty to defend your country the way she has done, you may want to take them to the reserves. You may simply graduate from the course as you would any other—and I might say with as much practical, worthwhile knowledge as anything else you might take. —R.M.L. Editor Daily Kansan: What supreme confidence the writer of the Monday "Campus Opinion" has in human nature. From his attack on the R.O.T.C. it is plain to see that he is a person who believes that the way to do away with war is to abolish all armament and stop all military training. Now I will grant that if such a program could be carried out, we would not have to worry about time to rearm. But I have seen little evidence that the nations of the world are ready to disarm. If the United States abolished all military machinery; this would include zero enrollment in R.O.T.C., the country would be placing itself at the mercy of every other nation in the world. We would be like lambs offering ourselves for sacrifice, so we see a Hitler or a Mussolino saying, "Why look what good old America has done. Let us go and do likewise." I will not argue the present of day war methods being obsolete a week after war start, although I do believe this statement is slightly exaggerated. But granted that old methods would not be usable in case of an emerger, that old methods and old methods would be in a far better position to grasp the new than the man who had no military training at all. Now about this butcher proposition, I have had six years of military training and I doubt very much that I could be classed as a butcher. Neither do I feel that I am a cog in a relentless machine, ready to crush all apples or bananas. We don't spend days spent in military training were probably the dullest and hardest days of my life. From my contact with the R.O.T.C. has grown an intense dislike for military service rather than the desire to be a butcher. Yet if the necessity ever arises for me to fight for my country, I will never say that fact that I have learned something of military tactics. So before arming the R.O.T.C. or before trying to do away with armament, try to take a practical look at the situation. I cannot help but feel the R.O.T.C. has a place in this life because it is essential to hold its place until this becomes a world of idealists. W. W.
