Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan SUNDAY, MARCH 3, 1935 BUTTON, BUTTON We never stop playting that childhood game, button, button, who's got the button? In Hill politics we might change the game to issue, issue, who's got the issue? Is it to be primaries, forums, "clean" politics—or will it be announced later by a master-strategist of student psychology? In deciding on their issue, we hope the parties or the "leagues" don't promise "C" grade averages or a full schedule of home football games. The impossible is attractive sometimes, but, oddly enough, still impossible. The party that thinks first of student welfare will battle for sane, possible changes within the scope of student government. The party that secretly promises its followers an office, fifteen hundred strong, will find the Kansan — well, figure it out for yourself. "A share in the great blue sky may bring in the votes. Yes, and something else. ANTI-LYNCHING BILL Lawrence citizens have taken a constructive stand in their petition presented to the United States Senate favoring the Wagner-Costigan anti-lynching bill. Senator Capper said, "I have favored a federal anti-lynching bill for years." His support of the contested legislation comes fittingly from a state that ranks comparatively low in the number of lynchings involving colored people. Henry L. Mencken in testimony before the house committee asserted with his usual vigor that "no country can be civilized and permit lynching." He recognized that the enactment of the proposed law is a first step that must be followed later by education, persuasion, and every form of public enlightenment. Kansas and Lawrence are rightly proud of Senator Capper's stand. But let them remember what counts is our behavior right here and now. When a lot of ciphers line up behind another cipher, that's too bad. But when a mass of ciphers line up behind a digit, brother that's Huey Long. IMPROVING THE UNION A quip in the "Shin" column told of two lovers who were entertaining a large crowd in the men's lounge by billing and cooing. It was pointed out that the couple was asked to move to the main lounge, but that the wooing continued even out there. Now the Union building operating committee has been discussing plans for rebuilding part of the student center. After the incident related in the "Shin" it is quite evident that these plans are lacking in that they do not fill all o' the student recreation needs. We would suggest that the plan be changed so that the college couples who do not have cars can have a place where they will be able to woo without the public eye bothering them. We even have some definite ideas of our own as to just what sort of a place this should be. The best thing would be a room without windows. In other words, the room should be kept nearly dark. Perhaps a faint blue light would give the best effect. An artificial moon and stars could be placed on the ceiling. Nice comfortable overstuffed chairs also should be provided. We believe that such a plan would meet with the whole-hearted approval of our languishing lovers. COMMENTS By the Editor We are downright mad. We've always wanted to experience an earthquake, and we slept through earl opportunity. Anything that happens at five o'clock in the morning is out of our realm. As far as we know it was a put-up job. We understand that the University owns a little gadget that will measure earthquakes, but it was out of order, too. We would not even suggest that the group of students representing clean politics on Mount Oread is just another political group. As the new organization gradually edges its way into organized houses with apparent splits in said houses, and at the same time admits that it wants a primary for the election of candidates, it should make itself felt on the campus. The whole thing is *b* bit beyond us as yet, so far in fact that in our egotism, we are curious to know whether or not there may be a college professor mixed up in the group. The King of Siam, the world's only absolute monarch, has abducted and is now another King without a country. The King business is gradually giving way to more advanced forms of government; the most noted example of which is Germany's representative form of government which was set up by outside influence, in which the United States had a hand. Germany's elective monarchy is much worse than any of the governments of the late kings could have been, but still it is a representative, and 18 years ago we demanded that Germany have a representative government. We cannot imagine what must have got into the heads of the seniors on the men's student council when they allow that group to advocate pre-enrollment as a solution to the enrollment problem. We admit that it is a nuisance to spend a day enrolling in school, but we still prefer giving only one day to enrolment instead of a week or more running door bells and opening door belts, and crashing through secretaries. If there is an enrolling problem now, it would be small beside the one that there would be should pre-enrollment be adopted Betty Coyd, whose boy friend is waiting until she finishes school, is glad that Kansas had the $2,000,000 relief money. The aforementioned boy friend, who beat her to graduation, is now assured he will be able to afford school. We are all glad that the relief came. No telling how many of our graduates are in both and on relief. Ting Ling: "It is sometimes wise to sit and smoke your pipe and let the barbarians run things for a while."

Three big, brutal University men crowded some small boys out of a marble game down in front of the Jay-hawker Cafe last Thursday. The big bullies would probably have liked to grab a kite, if any had been handy. Astronomers of Carnegie Institute (Washington, D.C.) are conducting studies of a very faint nebula said to be 1320,000,000,000,000,000 miles away. Coming from Washington that sounds more like the national debt figure, which isn't as faint as all that. "Why, this state's got 1½ million dollars in the bank. I'm going to run for governor." -Huey Long. No doubt Huey is going to practice a bit of his "Share the Wealth" preaching he's been doing lately. CAMPUS OPINION Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kansan. Articles over 200 words in length are removed and are not included in contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: Your recent editorial, "Politics at Sub-Zero," is a direct acknowledgment of the weakness of our present student government. Nearly all fair-minded students realize, with the Kansan, that our campus officers are "unless and harmful functionaries"—unless because they do almost nothing, and harmful because they instil a various conception of politics. These "hydrant inspectors" must be abolished, as the Kansan urges. One way of eliminating these mere officeholders is to abolish the offices. Such action is, however, acknowledgement of inability to institute worthwhile government. The only other possibility is to substitute for the present order a new and better one. It seems that K. may take hope. We don't dare the competitive League may make possible an affirmative answer to the question, "Can student government amount to anything?" To create this attractive possibility not only must the discredited incumbents be repudiated, but also "a constructive and full program of government" must be launched.

We await the announcement of a valid, positive aim. Nor, I trust, will we wait in vain. Editor Daily Kansan: In regard to your editorial expressing your cynism toward any new political faction until it proposes a method of eliminating the "hydrant inspectors," I would like to not be understandable in a comprehensive understanding of our organization. We are appealing to individuals, not to groups. It is a well-known fact that every Pacachamac fraternity on the hill is split wide open on the new movement. Many individuals in each fraternity are so disgusted with present student government and so convinced of the sincerity of the new league that they will no longer follow the commands of the Pacachamac leaders. Many former Pachacamase leaders have entered as individuals; most prominent leaders of the disbanded Khairy shawy party have entered as individuals. In answer to your cynicism may I point out that a league of individuals needs to make no promises as to political appointments? Our plan is to insure the election to the Student Council of a body of men who will not be permitted by law to make promises before the election, but who will appoint to the hill's appointive offices men outstanding for ability and character. -C.A.
