TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1935 MORE EFFECTIVE THAN BEATING "I'd like to my hands on the fellows," we comment of a Kansan reader in reference to the two students who recently took it upon themselves to teach another student a few "social manners" according to their own ideas of justice. The beating of the third student followed an episode in which he broke a date for a sorority dance when he found at the last minute that the tux which he had been promised would not be available. The young man is self-supporting and could not afford to rent a tuxedo. His only recourse was to explain the situation to the young woman hoping that she would understand. Evidently someone did not understand. Our sentiment is with the reader who voiced the above opinion, but such action would be resorting to the same methods employed by the self-appointed avengers. Publicity is a cruel but effective weapon in dealing with those who have done something of which they have no right to be proud. Although the names of those responsible for the incident are not generally known, they must have full realization of how they stand in student opinion THE COLLEGE PRESS Press comment on the recent convention of college editors, held in Washington, D.C., would seem to indicate that these college journalists have sold their souls to Hearst, in return for a gay round of cocktail parties, banquets and luxurious trips. The current issue of News Week for instance, suggests that Mr. Hearst has thus managed to squeel the outbreak of critical college editorials which followed the declaration of his jingoistic attitude on war. The News Week, however, has been aping Mr. Hearst itself, in overlooking the purpose of the convention to play up its more sensational aspects. To all appearances these young men may have been merely spending a few gay vacation days. As a matter of fact, they had some very real business to attend to. And while one might not care to say that they took advantage of Mr. Hearst's lavish hospitality to get together for their own purposes, it amounted practically to that. These 37 college editors believe that a free and untrammeled college press would be a valuable addition to American journalism. Last year, however, five college editors were suspended or expelled for trying to replace the puerile editorializing of the average college paper with really vital and pertinent criticism. And as long as this situation exists, there is no possibility of a worthwhile college press. The solution of the problem is to set up some sort of machinery whereby such cases may be tried, and the ousted editor given a chance to defend himself before impartial judges. That was the main purpose of the convention. It was accomplished, along with a few minor purposes which did not include education in Hearst policies. OUR GREAT AMERICAN CURIOSITY Many things are in strong evidence at the trial of the century in which the United States is endeavoring to prove Bruno Richard Hauptmann guilty of the kidnapping of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. The trial reveals the strength of character of the Lindberghs, as they sit quietly and listen to tragic testimony regarding their child; it also reveals the stolid strength of the young German who is accused of the kidnapping. His wife sits quietly near him, ready to aid him in any manner that she can and to offer him her own strength and sympathy. The lawyers of both sides work furiously, for whoever succeeds will go down in American judicial history as "the man who won the Lindbergh case." The characters of those participating in the trial are not the only things which this history-making event brings to the surface, however. Daily, large numbers of people are turned away from the courtroom because there is no room for them inside of the building. Those who are able at the last moment to slip under the ropes and gain admittance to the courtroom are looked upon with envy by their less fortunate acquaintances who arrived too late. A few days ago a young man and a woman engaged in a word battle as to which one of the two was entitled to a seat on a radiator in the room. The woman finally won the seat, but the young man stood near her and continued to insist that he was entitled to it. The story is told of three large women who stood all day on a bench, moving only infrequently to rest their aching limbs, and one of them removed her shoes and stood in her stocking feet. Is this evidence of human interest in the working of American justice? Is it sympathy for those unfortunates who are caught in the toils of circumstance? Or is it merely morbid American curiosity? PULPIT vs. PICTURES Sunday evening a new amusement burst upon the Kansas City public—an avowed competitor of America's favorite, the movie, "Sodom Up To Date," under the direction of Dr. I. M. Hargett, played to a capacity audience at the Linwood Boulevard M. E. church. Dr. Hargett initiated the proceedings with the remark that anything less than the price of a movie should shame the churchgoer who had come to hear his description of a "trip to Hell and back." The promised entertainment followed—a story of two pastors' trip through Kansas City's "vice hell" embellished with Twelfth street details. Conditions in Kansas City, it seems, are beyond the pale of civilization—all due to the negligence of authorities who allow these evils to persist. The remedy proposed was a protest through the Society for the Suppression of Commercialized Vice. Perhaps Dr. Hargelt is sincere in his efforts to eradicate conditions which are undeniably bad. He may even believe that he is getting at the root of the problem when he attacks the evidence of social disorders rather than the cause. If so, his mistake is a sad one—for the sensationalism which he has employed smacks of the reformer who revels in the digging up of vice. To attract crowds, he has appealed to the very drawing cards he denounces. If the pulpit is to compete with the picture show, Dr. Hargett's OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Students in the School of Education may enroll for the spring semester during the month of January.

But if there are any religious values beyond those of pure entertainment, Dr. Hargett's sermon can be classed only as a tabloid of the church. Adolph F.Ochse Do the women students of this camp think a knee joint council with a proportion of three to one in favor of men sounds like a fair proposition? As this situation vitally concerns us, and our future in student affairs, we must here and now take a definite stand against the combination of W.S. G.A. and M.S.C. The Women's Association has a reserve fund of $6,000.00—quite an incentive for the men to suggest such a plan. Let us have faith in our present organization. In our spring election let us prove that we can elect without combine or political parties. For unorganized and organized women to join the present political parties would be to submerge our individual rights into a political turmoil.

A fraternity house bill actually was of some use to a Minnesota pledge the other day. He used it as a means of indentification in order to get out of jail after a couple of policemen had taken him in for "prowling" when they found him trying to get into his own house after it had been locked up for the night. The only trouble was that repeated seraches through his pockets didn't bring out the house bill until before he had spent the night in the jug.
