YOUNG BILL REPLIES
Referring to the action of The Kansas Board in its stand on the peace strike, W. L. White, commented editorially in The Emporia Gazette
A Peace Strike
The editorial board of the University Daily Kanan, K. U. student publication, is disrupted by the resignation of one member protecting against the board's advocacy of a university Friday as a demonstration for peace.
Without wishing to butt an obtrusive nose into the affairs of a great center of learning, we're for the “strike.” If the coming generation, who will fight that next war, doesn't take the time, the trouble and the brains to head it off, no one will do it for them. It's their job.
When the bands start playing in 1940 or 1945, the newspapers, the big agricultural and industrial interests who profit, or think they profit by war, will be whiponing it up as usual. So if these artists find themselves in five-or ten more years, walking back from the front line trench through a winding communication trench to the rear carry their entrails comfortably tucked under their arm and wondering "LITTER" about what is better begin doing something about it.
Maybe a strike isn't the most intelligent way to handle it. But at least it is proper to meet the hysteria of war with the hysteria of peace.
Thursday morning The Kansan received a telegram signed The Parsons Sun and reading:
Parsons Sun.
Editorial Board, University Daily Kansas: We string along with young Bill White on the strike for peace proposition. The men who would do the fighting certainly have a right to expose themselves and if you a "Bee Strike" seems to be the most available manner for expression here's to the strike.
MISSOURI FALLS IN LINE
By an overwhelming majority the students of Missouri University abolished their present form of student government and adopted a new type of assembly government. The new constitution will do away with the present office of student president, filled by popular election, and abolish the present student council. A plan goes into effect next year which calls for an assembly of fifty representatives, elected by the student voters. The assembly will elect its own president and cabinet. The supporters of the movement claim that it will eliminate the highly political student council.
If the plan works as it is hoped that it will, it constitutes a step forward in student government. Most of the evils of present forms of student government may be laid at the door of politics. The officers are elected through the influence of a political machine and consequently must follow its dictates. The men are not chosen by virtue of intelligence or ability, but mainly on the basis of whether they are "big shots" in the party.
Kansas University should pay close attention to the operations of this new plan, and if it is successful, should adopt either it or some other which works along the same lines. By doing this, the student government might function much better and restore itself to the good graces of a great many students who are disgruntled at its present inefficiency and wastefulness.
CAMPUS OPINION

Editor Daily Kansan:
They say a strike is an evidence of mob psychology—that it is not dignified, that in it one loses his individualism. It is precisely by this strike that we who are against war acquire interest in rooms and wily thinkful thinking that war will not come, does not stop war. Out on thousands of campuses and with a thousand others about us, raising our voices in protest, we mean something, individualization that is against war becomes effective — our individuality enhanced.
Dignified and pious wishes mean nothing. Those who would whip up the war spirit are hardly dignified. Their newsreels and papers sing the "hymn of hate." They deploy strikes—but because they fear them. They know that when American students and their fellowing numbers hundreds of thousands find that their actions they can make an effective protest against war, when they discover that the famed individualism of Americans has learned how to function effectually, and that the part of every student's individualism that is against war is being given a chance for expression, then they wave the red flag and trot the age-old Red scare out of the methamphetamine addicts against a ten hour day, minimum wage legislation, and incense tax amendments.
An effective strike will serve as a rehearsal for what we, and thousands abroad, will have to do when war threatens again.
A Striker.

Editor's note: The Kanan will present in this column thumb-bail sketches of the members of the faculty.
Bert A. Nash
Interested primarily in health non-mental hygiene, Dr. Bert Nash, associate professor of Education, directs his research toward the establishment of many more preventive clinics and wards for slightly neurotic and abnormal cases. He states that the first step in this direction is to train school teachers to look for slight signs of nervousness or abnormality in their students.
Dr. Nash has been teaching mental hygiene on this campus since 1930. He received his A.B. degree from Washburn, and his Ph.D. from Ohio State University. He taught at Emporia State College for three years, then two years in New York, and after that he came back and taught at Emporia for two more years.
At the present time, Dr. Nash is president of the Kansas State Mental Hygiene Society, and is also president of the Kansas Psychological Association.

Suggestions Are Now in Order for Improvement of Men's Pan-Hellenic
"What does it do? Oh, nothing much except get together occasionally and elect officers."
Men's "Pan-Hem" met a "criing need" when it was established in February, 1921. It provided, so old copies of the Kansan sage, an efficient instrument of self-government for the Greek letter lodges. It gave the game of rushing some rules. At least in theory, it eliminated "head pipe" tactics for rush week and eventually made "Hell Week" into "Health Week."
Campus institutions, not unlike those in the "big wide world," have some reason for organization, attain a peak, and then decline. After their need for existence disappears, they continue, with or without some purpose.
So say the Greeks about their Men's Pan-Hellenic Council.
The Council's purposes, according to its constitution, sought to "unify the various factions on the campus and to modify the intensity of feeling between the rival groups." Constitutions always contain such idealizations. Ask the nearest Greek how well "Pan-Hel" has succeeded.
Each fraternity elects two representatives to Pan-Hel, but few of the men students even know that such an organization exists on the campus. The few who are at all familiar with it smile when questioned about it and say, "Oh, sure we have a Pan-Hel. I expect to see you." Except make a few rushing rules every year, and nobody pays any attention to them."
The Men's Pan-Hel originally met every other Sunday morning, but now it meets infrequently. It holds a ses-
Professor Nash is especially interested in all kinds of games, although he admits a preference for baseball and horsehoe pitching. Tennis is also a favorite pastime of his, and he is one of the few who enjoy a rousing game of bridge. Although he is one of the newer professors at Harvard, he is not known. It is our guess that if the thing is possible he will accomplish what he has set out to do.
this week-end. Every month the Kansas Parent Teachers Magazine presents one of Dr. Nash's articles taken from radio talks.
sion for such occasions as the making of the agenda of the annual party. Quoting one of the officers, the most important duties during the year are to
stage the annual party and to make plans for the "beer bust" that follows each inauguration of officers. These alone are not enough to justify its existence. Exorbitant dues of 25 dollars a year are exacted from each fraternity. One of the few things done in return is the awarding of the annual scholarship cup to the fraternity with the highest grade average.
Why can't it be adapted to the needs of the fraternities today? Why not instead of just making a great number of rules by which to govern the men's societies, make only a few, but see that they are enforced? Why not develop an actively functioning body which would greatly increase the efficiency of rushing and self-government? Why not investigate the quota system and other new measures that are being adopted at other universities?
Manuel Edquist, c'35, secretary to the council, admits that the council is deficient, but he says that its manner of selecting representatives is fault. Until this is changed, he claims, there will be no noticeable improvement. "Instead of picking representatives at random, it would be much better to select the person who will be president of the chapter the following year, for will have the needs of his fraternity at home," he says. "The council meetings the council meetings. In this way, the council will have more permanency, and will have a real purpose in view." Bob Williams, c'35, president of the council, says of it, "It could be a valuable instrument of student government; at any rate, we could not do without it. There would be much more emmily if we did not have a council."
