FEBRUARY 13, 1935 YOUTH ON WAR At almost the same time that the University of Kansas and other colleges and universities in the United States were sounding the alarm that youth, who fightss the wars, disapproves greatly of war, and war preparation, the Kansas legislature was passing a bill telling the students at the agricultural college in Manhattan that they must take compulsory military training. If the feelings of the students in colleges in the United States are of sufficient worth to be taken seriously, it may be assumed that a change of attitude is taking place—almost between generations—youth votes against war and middle age votes for compulsory training. It may be that youth will change its attitude when it passes the age of fighting and reaches the age of law-making. It is an unusual thing when vigorous and naturally aggressive youth takes a stand against war. The proverbial youth of our ancestors enjoyed a good fight. They still tell about their conquests. But present day youth is a pacifist, proud of his stand. A new patriotism is being born. The Golden Rule may, perhaps, at last be tried, when youth is handed the reigns of the country, but then youth will not be youth any more; it will have become middle age, and its thought will be changed somewhat. Then it may believe in preparedness as strongly as it now does in pacifism. Youth only fights and suggests. When a man becomes old enough to have the intelligence to decide matters of the importance of war, he is no longer young enough to fight. BOGEYMAN OR SUPERMAN9 A youngster from the pine woods of Winn parish, Louisiana, talked about his ambition to become governor. He was uneducated, rough, direct; parents and friends laughed at him, because he was in his early twenties, and of course every boy has his grandiose ideas. At thirty, this young man was recognized as one of the best lawyers in Louisiana, and of course the youthful boast and the ambition to be governor of Louisiana were fulfilled in 1928 by the election of Huey Long to the first executive position in his own state. The past few months have seen the public reaction to him change; journals of opinion that laughed at him now concede, at least, that aspects of his career other than the laughable must be considered. In short, he is rapidly becoming a much talked of person outside the immediate locality of his "Share Our Wealth" program. Those who can no longer satisfy themselves with disregarding him are wondering just what one ought to think of him. The cleavage of opinion about him is well exemplified by two articles in the current New Republic, one by Gerald L. K. Smith, his ministerial disciple, and the other by Hodding Carter, "an independent critic." Smith is convinced, and states plainly his belief, that Huey is a superman capable of doing "as much in one day as any ten men I know." He sketches the cultural, political, and economic condition of Louisiana before Long's advent, but does not show categorically what improvements can be credited to Huey. Smith closes his review of Long-in-Louisiana with the statement, "His greatest recommendation is that we who know him best, love him most." Carter, whether aware of the fact that Smith's article would appear with his, spends most of his space proving that the Reverend Mr. Smith "is probably the most talented rabble rouser in the South." Long in the White House? "A postoperative belly-laugh," he thinks, but wisely adds that stranger political disasters could befall a tragically ignorant people groping for surety. What if the Roosevelt administration fails in its major purposes? Bogeyman or superman, Huey Long is a figure in national affairs, the spearhead of a social movement that cannot be disregarded. We suppose that since the movie David Copperfield has appeared, all the rhetoric students will be choosing the book by Dickens for their term book reports this semester. COMMENTS -By the Editor WOULD HONOR DR. NAISMITH Here is an idea that has somehow escaped the attention of the campus, and it remained for the Douglas County Republican to point it out. Here is a reprint of a paragraph from the editorial page of that paper: "Who is more entitled to a badge for distinguished service than Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball?" He gave to the world a sport that has captured the enthusiasm of thousands of boys and girls who play the game. Spectators who are fascinated by the thrills of a highly competitive sport flock to the games by the tens of thousands. When the players wear awarded a service medal to the citizen who has brought the most enjoyment and clean fun to every one, Dr. Naismith's name will be right near the top of the list." Now that Dr. Naismith's game has been adopted by the Olympic committee, and now that it is played by more than 50 foreign countries, who can deny Dr. Naismith's right to such a medal? Do we hear a second to this idea? KANSAS STATE SHOWS SPIRIT In keeping with the general movement in all colleges, Kansas State has accused its fraternities and sororites of playing politics among themselves until the student government has become a breeze. From the looks of statistics presented in the Kansas State Collegian, it would appear that barbs have no chance to obtain a position on the governing body. It would seem that the time has come for some fraternity on their campus to put a real feather in the chapter cap by declaring itself out to elect student officers, regardless of affiliations or nonaffiliations. Such a policy would get that fraternity no end of desirable publicity on the campus. This question was asked in a military arts class in Syracuse University. The lieutenant in charge asked the question to see if his class were thinking. Of course, foilish questions beget foolish answers, and the replies came back like that. They take an alcohol drink from the bottle. "I'd shoot it." "I'd jump aboard." HOW WELL DO STUDENTS THINK? "What would you do if you were on duty and as battlefield suddenly came down the parade ground to you?" HOW WELL DO STUDENTS THINK? This type of question is old in the army. Only one in the class of 48 persons answered correctly with, "Td report to the corporal of the guards." We have in our possession several letters which were supposed to appear in our Campus Opinion column, but could not be printed because of the fact that we do not know the identity of the writer. It is our policy not to print any letter not vouched for by some responsible person. The name of the writer need not appear in the column, and no other persons than the editorial staff of the Kansas need know the identity of the writer. Please sign the letters that you expect to have printed.

Its delicate richness is inviting. It offers an alluring veneer—Hill Fashion Notes. Just pleasin' to the schnozzle to us. A Lawrence, Kan., man was awarded the silver trophy and the championship blue ribbon at the seed corn show held in connection with Kansas State College's farm and home week.

Boys and Young Ladies of 50 Years Ago From The University Courier of Feb.13,1885 The remains of the Athletic Association were resuscitated last Friday. The treasurer reported the rather minus financial condition of the organization, and a committee was appointed to investigate as to where the money had gone which was raised last spring. The report will be awaited with interest. The University ball will be the event of the season. The time is set for Friday, February 20th, at Fraser Hall. Very neat and well-lit. Will doubles be extra recherche. Prof. Sterling murks an unexcused absence the same as a failure; thereby rendering the practice of promenading during a relaxation session less attractive. The coasting on the Hill last week was excellent, and the younger students enjoyed themselves immensely. Chapel attendance is required but once a week. Why are not some steps taken to enforce the Friday morning regulation? The library was very cold all this week; too cold to permit much work in that department. Cheapest place to buy text books and stationery is at Field & Co's., University Bookstore, 99 Massachusetts St. "You are not like autumn." she sighed, as the persistent lover sat out the hours. The different fraternities here in the order of their founding are represented as follows: Beta Theta Pi, thirteen members; Phi Kappa Pi, alchemist; Phi Gamma Delta, eighteen; Phil Delta Theta, thirteen; Chi Sigma, nine. The Oread political pot begins to bubble; merely the wind coming to the surface. "Why, my dearest?" he inquired, with a fond and foolish expression. "Because autumn leaves, but you never do." There were only four Freshman boys at school last Friday. The others remained at home to wash up for the "Dance."
