MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 16, 1935 INTELLECTUAL SNOBS There has always existed a prejudice of a sort against scholars among people of the unlearned class. Part of this prejudice is envy; part may be attributed to the attitude of the students themselves. There was a time when a young man or woman who was working his or her way through school could find ready sympathizers among the public. Student salesmen increased their earnings by stating to the housewives that the profit derived from the sale of the magazines or floor mops was to be used in defraying expenses at college. Organizations, as church clubs and civic groups, would give entertainments to aid worthy students. In many instances, however, those same students who had appealed for and received aid would return to the community and assume a superior attitude and look with scorn upon those who had made this pursuit of education possible. The student who completes his college education and feels that he now can move in a superior group unaffected by the attitude of the common people, in the majority of cases, is doomed to be dissappointed. He will soon discover, alas, that it is this same unlearned group that will make possible his continuance in a particular profession or business. Intellectual snobs are out of place in any democratic society. The League of Nations doesn't seem to be getting along very well in its own world series. Hale Selassie's smoke ball isn't working very well and Mussolini is stealing too many bases—Arkansas City Traveler. People who swear in public may not rate as high in the social scale as those who pray in public. A man who swears with sincerity is to be trusted farther than one who prays insincerely—Winfield Daily Courier. Rush week activities at Kansas colleges soon will be at an end. Therefore forward, the mammas and dads of college-going kids will do the rushing—ElDorado Times. The public wishes that some of these radio animates, who say that they would rather sing them eat, would not deny themselves sustenance. —Leavenworth Times. OPPORTUNITY WASTED During the coming season an exceptionally fine concert course has been planned. Fritz Kreisler, one of the greatest of modern musicians opens the series next month. Later in the year the Vienna Boys Chair, an internationally known organization, will be heard. Roland Hays, the celebrated Negro teenor, Trudi Schoop with her comic ballet, and the Kansas City Philharmonic Orchestra complete the course. Throughout the year art exhibits will be displayed on the campus. The permanent exhibit at Spooner-Thayer museum is always open to students. "But," say many students, "we do not care for this sort of thing." Unfortunately they speak the truth, and unfortunately they do not attempt to change their ideas. Yet there is so much satisfaction, so much pleasure that can be obtained from an appreciation of the fine arts. Interest in and an appreciation of music and art is something that will be carried through life even after many of the facts learned from college text books are forgotten. But such interest is not created by saying, "I don't care for that sort of thing." Music and art are not cared for anyway. They are felt. You must come in contact with them to appreciate them. You must expose yourself to them. So while others travel many miles and spend many dollars to see the artists who are brought to this campus, many students are indisposed to walk a few blocks for entertainment that is included on their activity ticket. The situation is regrettable. YOURSELF IN PRINT Do you feel that some campus organization or some campus movement is deserving of high praise yet has never received such praise? Do you have a pet peeve? In short, is something bothering you? Then write a letter to the Kansan explaining your likes or dislikes, and it will be published under "Campus Opinion" just as you wrote it. One exception must be made however. The Kansan reserves the right to strike out all libel and profanity, and to correct misspelled words. So don't sit around and fret when something displeases you. Grab a typewriter and write. By so doing you may interest others in your case. And besides you will be surprised at the immense amount of satisfaction that comes from seeing your thoughts expressed in print. It won't be long now until the grand full opening—the opening kick-off—Manhattan Mercury. Sally Ran, fan and bubble dancer of note, is now a successful actress. In other words she is now making more than a bare living—Augusta Gazette. Consumers really will begin to howl about the high cost of living if the present price of hogs makes pigkin so dear that football tickets come higher. —Eldorado Times. The United States has no intention of pouring oil, either Standard or any other kind, on the troubled waters over in Africa—Leavenworth Times. Mussolini is waiting so long before he begins his war on Hale Selassie that it is becoming painfully evident he is not going to put on a battle until he secures international film and radio rights.—Chicago Daily Tribune. The old saying that where there's so much smoke there bust be some fire has been revised; the modern version is, where there is so much smoke there must be a women's bridge game—Concordia Blade-Empire. The late Will Rogers said lots in few words. Those who would be his successors say little in many words—Arkansas City Daily Traveler. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the authors. The opinions expressed herein are subject to editing by the editor. Confirmations of the views of the authors are not intended to substitute for advice. It is often said that military training presents no problem on this campus. It is true that the issues of compulsory training so often meet with are fortunately absent. But its very absentee gives rise to another question, which asks: How should we treat the reasons are advanced in favor of the corps. The Kansas catalogue, however, presents one but that it is "the first comprehensive plan in the history of our country to provide adequately for the defense of the nation." The University of Missouri's new military formation, New the military usefulness of the R.O.T.C., is highly questionable, even by military men. Admiral Sims said of Amnapolis that it was the "world's worst school," but if all the reserve corps were halted end to end, there would be an even worse one. The combat tactics now used are apprehensively antiquated within a week after any war begins. The catalogue of the University of Arizona is more frank, declaring a two-fold purpose. I quote verbatim: "The R.O.T.C. provides systematic military instruction with a two-fold purpose, primarily to qualify students for positions of leadership in time of national emergency, and secondarily to provide the nation with an electronic information system necessary of a statewide national defense." In other words, make butteries in war and inkers in peace. The first purpose I feel is not realized. The real danger or the corps lies in the attribution of its second end: to make a militarist electorate that supports foreign and domestic oppression, and to oppose international warfare for their excuse for existence. It is therefore of prime importance to every elector—and that means everyone—that R.O.T.C. education should be low, zero being the ideal. We do not want our electorates to be denied our influence combating R.O.T.C. made militarians. I heartily urge that every incoming student shun the R.O.T.C., and that every student previously enrolled drop the course—especially the first. At that you will lose your friendships, but they will get to tell himself) and a militaristic attitude. A.C.A.

Dill who knows all the lists and outs of the Associated Press came to the University in the fall of 1971. He remained three years and left to become assistant right manager of the University. Prof. Buf. Dill soon came back and now divides his time between telling the world about the University of Kansas, as director of publicity, and the position of associate-professor of the printing department on the lower floor of the Journalism building depends upon Prof. John J. Kister, a graduate of the University and a former major in the department. Prof. Kister stops printing and helps fight a war, but returned and started on he had left off, receiving his A.B. degree in 1921. Then followed a period of practical newspaper work while he was preparing himself for a master's degree. Prof. Buf.
