Rostered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1935 A THREAT OF COMMUNISM A friend of ours tells about the neighbor in Kansas City, Mo., who had several thousand rounds of 30-30 cartridges stored in his basement against the day of wrath pictured by so many friends of our country. Nothing might dissuade this person that The Revolution isn't coming in ten years. The same keen prevision has worked to the public good in the case of a most conspicuous public servant, William R. Hearst, and the organs of his opinion. For years now, and always at the top of his voice, Mr. Hearst has performed that extremely valuable function of seeing so graphically what his inferiors in judgment cannot understand. Colleges and universities in the locality of Mr. Hearst's papers have been particularly fortunate in having pointed out to them the existence of a menace from radicals—and in many cases a menace few had noticed till Mr. Hearst observed the insidious thing in plain sight. After pointing out the evil and showing the remedy, extermination follows and to the good of the community.. Our problem here, though unobserved either by Mr. Hearst personally or by one of his papers, grows more serious daily. We are swamped by a subversive movement, in groups and departments all over the place, that would substitute private initiative and control in the matter of dating. So many schools now, and so many athletic events, even the R.O.T.C., and some say the fraternities, have subscribed to a policy, that carried to its extreme, would spell the entrance of the most insidious doctrines of Communism in the heretofore private matter of dating. Private queens, we are told, may be all right, depending considerably on the quality and size of the queen. But this affair of queens for the Relays, or queens for the so-and-so ball, must stop. If we are to remain in the good American tradition, hallowed by the use of our ancestors, we must call in Mr. Hearst and stamp out this practice of communizing our queens. Freddy Frosh Says— Joe College is always glad when enrollment paying fees time comes around. He can always set the fees up plenty high, send word home, then keep the balance and bill it to "over-headwork." A BEGINNING College students, says Albert Edward Wigam, are developing a deeper and safer patriotism than the old "emotionalized bosh and tommyrot." Based on careful study of the nation's needs and duties and an "intelligent ideal of our national destiny", the new patriotism is replacing the old "our-country-right-or-wrong" attitude. It is to be expected that colleges would lead in the development of a more intelligent patriotism since a great part of the old patriotism was ignorance. It might also be expected that the old "100 per cent Americanism" would become less boisterous after fifteen years of peace when people, thinking of constructive rather than destructive work, could look back and pass sane judgment on the things they did during the bust of 1918. So it might be well to suggest, though we hate to throw cold water on such encouragement as Mr. Wiggam has given, that the present attitude is nothing to get jubilant over—yet. It is a fine start and the tendency is in the right direction but there is not much reason to believe that anything more than a start has been made. If war were threatening America today, war posters, such as may be seen in the Liberty Memorial at Kansas City, with their startling portrayal of exaggerated emotions, which would be funny if there were not so much blood in their history, probably would still appeal to intelligent college students. News reel shots of battleships cutting into waves to the acre company of "Anchors Aweigh," or the stirring pageentry of military parades, could probably dissolve in a few months enough of what little intelligence has been gained to send the boys "Over There" again. The point is not that intelligent patriotism is impossible, but simply that there is a great deal of work and thinking to be done before it is accomplished. College students must study, think, and argue until they reach a complete understanding of the true destiny of their nation among other nations, and of the insanity of war. COMMENTS IN THE MAIL -By the Editor It is interesting to note the amount of correspondence that reaches our desk. Yesterday it was a pamphlet from the Intercollegiate League for Industries, which filled naturally with replies to, and handpapers of Heura's Red campaign. Today it is more literature on the peace poll from the Associated College Editors and the Literary Digest. They are planning to extend the poll to newspaper editors, bankers, educators, and legislators, asking the same questions that were asked of college students. How much support, publicity, or denouncement should we give to these things? If you ignore them we stand open to accusations of indifference. If we publicize you bring down torrents of abuse from conservatives if we give sympathy to Socialists, and condemnations of unfairness from the Socialists if we refuse to agree with them. If we think the peace poll is pointless, we must stand ready to be 'condemned as a militarist.' At any rate, we like to get the literature. Besides making us feel important, it gives us lots of good ideas for the tuff to work on. BEST NEWS THIS WEEK In our perusal of the daily papers we are always alert for items that add to the general cheer of the day. We discovered yesterday that Admiral Byrd is coming back from the South Pole. We are glad that the admiral is coming back to the comparative safety and comfort of civilization. We shall be somewhat interested in the magazine articles by members of his expedition. But most of all we shall be glad to be rid of a radio program that we could not hear even though we were interested in it. It is not pleasant to take orders from ficeurs, to stand at attention, and to lean a rifle. Whatever pump and cerenony there is to parading around in uniforms is dwarfed by the ache of irred feet. Compulsory military training will continue at Kansas State, decided the legislature, and pacifist will continue to hawel. It has always struck us that it is better to fight alone than to militarily is the quickest way in the world to disguise a young man with war and its trappings. Anyone who has marched two hours in a hot sun or against a biting winter wind with a wristband knows that war is not all heroes. VICTORY FOR MILITARISTS Just before the close of every semester there is an epidemic of book stealing. Students who have gone the whole term leaving their texts lying on the floor and in their warts about their business are sent to ind them missing someday.

J. WHEELER, Corresponding Secretary. X.M.C.A. CABINET. A model of manly manhood Was Marmaduke O'Tate; He had ambition to become A college erudite. Of all the other little boys, The first he'd always rate. At last arrived for Marmaduke The day to enter college; His A-B-C, when but a tot, He know from A to Z; He took his trunk and packed his books And went in quest of knowledge. He could add, divide, subtract, When he was only three. At last there came the hoped-for day; Our hero was elated! They gave him his diploma. And he was graduated. Nor was he ever late; Of all the other little boys When other boys were playing games He sat with in pen in hand; I think it would also be just ducky if Mr. Cochrane would sponsor some dancing contests. Let the containing couplesstruit their stuff before the crowd and be judged by the crowd. The parents will be Varsity, jiggers at another, and walters at another. Of course, no University student know how to walk, but you He sat with pencil in his hand. And figured out quadraties. WILFRED McCLAIN, Vice-President. When other 'studes' were getting stewed and stirring their "layers." His teachers spoke of him with awe. Though they could not understand, Here too our hero, fair and young Was always at the top; He never went to see a show, N dance nor nurn or bom noun. Now Marmaduke is dressed in white- An interne, you'd assume. It's your mistake, dear reader— He manipulates a broom! For Marmaduke was never wrong— He never made a blunder. Campus Opinion He sat with finger at his brow And exercised his brains. He manipulates a broom. —Samuel Sass. —Samuel Sass. might invite some of the older faculty members. R.F.
