It's a long way across the campus and lots of students have two classes in succession. Which means that to be at the second one on time they must get started from the first one as soon as the whistle blows. No professor likes to have his students come straggling in after the class has taken up. He should, therefore, remember that there are others who feel the same way and dismiss class promptly. But equally at fault is the professor who takes up class before the half-hour arrives. What chance has the poor student of pleasing any one if one holds him over and the next one takes up class early and demands that he be there? A more general regard for the feelings of others would lead to a great deal more order in the class room, and if the beginning and ending of classes would be observed sharply, a much more satisfactory system would result. At least a lot of jangled nerves would be soothed. Corbin hall is the victim of a new sort of lawbreaker whose persistent non-conformity has not been equaled on the campus in recent years. Although these culprits aim their deprepations at the women's dormitory they are actually committing a state crime by defacing state property. They scatter injurious chemicals over the floor, but they might as well carve out portions or hammer spikes around in it—it would still have to be repaired. Corbin needs a good sleuth to bring them to count and put a stop to such wilful damage. THE "ISM" CAMPAIGN Davis Lott, editor of Northwestern's Purple Parrot, has made what looks to be the best declaration of policy we have ever seen in a college editor's column. Lott has come out against the "isms" from conservatism to Communism. The thing that appeals to us is his realization that no "ism" should dominate any sort of politics. When a man has liberal ideas, he is called a Communist or an atheist. If he believes in a strong standing army and a high tariff he is called a militarist or a conservationist. No one is all wrong. Upton Sinclair was condemned in California as a madman, and yet when his opponent was elected he took several of Sinclair's platform planks and incorporated them in his own. A college editor is sought out by all the "ism" leaders as a source of free publicity. It is hard to keep from publicizing some of them; they mask as news stories that are nothing but a press agent's cleverness. By no means all college editors refrain from giving publicity to organizations as intended by the leaders. We have seen in other college papers exactly the same material we have thrown in our waste basket printed for the consumption of readers when it was pure propaganda. Editor Lott has no doubt been angered by the repeated efforts on the part of various groups to get the use of his columns for free puffs. No editor can keep all publicity out of his paper. But he can take up a campaign to let his readers know that he does not stand for any of the "isms." If common sense and "forthright principles" are observed, there is no reason why Editor Lott should not have 120,000,000 followers instead of the 20,000,000 he desires. COMMENTS By the Editor THE ART OF SAYING NOTHING Politicians are noted for their ability to make statements and say little. Monday night Gunnar Mykland and Lyman Field were hard put thinking up statements for the press. Long consultations brought Orator Field and sultations brought Orator Field and Scholar Mykland to making statements which were typical of politicians and which said exactly nothing. Mykland expressed surprise at the results. He might have been surprised a month ago when he first heard about it, but we hardly see how he still could be. Boss Brown had a little more time to prepare his statement, and consequently he got it off rather well. What he would no on a pinch, he do not know. YE SOUR OWL This new number of the Sour Ow just proves all the more the aptness of the name that publication laborers under Sour was no name for the last issue Neither our "Rock Chalklets" editor feeble as is his wit, nor Joe Holloway can get much more than a few smiles out of Brother Blowers' so-called humer magazine. However, it must be a better number than usual, for Owl experts report that they have received a few compliments for a change. ROCK CHALKLETS Conducted by R.J.B. New York City. the other day, reported that no major crime was recorded over a period of 24 hours. Next thing you know Gotham will be going rustic and the mendow-larks will take the city. Seeing the Kansas Relays are going to be held during Easter vacation why not sponsor a special event—a quarter mile egg-rolling contest? Campus Opinion D. D.D.D.D. Editor Daily Kansan: Sometimes in the dim past, student government at our university died a natural death. In its place came a poetic capital of "government" in this country. Recently a "new deal," the product of our economic depression, has turned the attention of reformers and some other social leaders to the need and incompetencies of public officials. This campus has its share of both of these types of investigators and, according to rumor, red revolutionists as well. The other is a new institution which is not universally praised. Now, we would like to know why this course of political affairs runs placially on. Are there none among our students who have enough spirit or even enough sense of humor to upset the calm in which our two political parties gently vie for the honor of running the Men's Student Council? The fraternities and a small number of their non-fraternity stuoges have taken over the instrumentality of undergraduate participation in the University administration, namely the Men's Student Council. Two mutual admiration societies, better known as political parties, carry on a sort of minor Democratic-Republican feud from year to year. The incumbents control the senate and will be elected mayor, the minority party in all manner of ways, until the next election when they pass all the progress bullyboo (look at our record) stuff around and expect an intelligent student body to swallow it. We know of no law prohibiting nonmembers of Pachacamac or Ordead-Kayhawk from running for council seats. In fact, they would have the advantage of not having to pay several dollars to their party organization for the privilege of having their names on the ballot. We would suggest the organization of a group of students who would be willing to study methods of student learning. We would also require these students could possibly find a Notices due at Chancellor's office at 2 p.m., preceding regular publication day and 11:39 a.m. Saturday for Sunday Issues.

Always a Bargain Show Let their spokesman inform the student body of their findings and what remedies they would suggest. Then when the annual humball-passing-out begins, let the impartial organization quietly announce a list of candidates. Perhaps a few voters would appreciate the lack of halliburton enough to cast their votes for the independents. Anyone who wants a vote for themachelms and each other. However, the whole idea should appeal most strongly to the campus humorists. For two years, the present party politicians have worked desperately and successfully to bring the national N.S.F.A. convention to Kansas City and Lawrence. Now if an independent organization could poll a majority of the votes, the poor Pacachamias would be left out in the cold when that great All Shows 10c - 15c PATEE ENDS TONITE!
