TMURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1934 THE WOMEN WAKE UP At last someone has come to and realized one of the major problems on the campus. Or perhaps we should say, someone has had the courage to come out in the open and discuss a situation which is familiar to everyone—the snowbery and unfriendless that permeates our social life and makes itself apparent, in some form, to every student on the Hill. It is the women who are setting out to see what can be done—fittingly enough, for conditions are worse among them. Under the guidance of Dean Husband, machinery is being set up for a system to fight against the social hostilities which are almost a menace. Hill women are throwing themselves into this new movement with an enthusiasm which denotes a general realization of its necessity. But it is a difficult problem, this struggling against an atmosphere. Any number of functions will fail, unless every woman on the campus is backing the fight, ready to carry the spirit of democracy beyond friendship teases and get-acquainted dinners, on into their daily lives and their social thinking. "Massare Not a Massare," headline. When is a massare not a massare? When your side wins. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? The Kansas City Star in a recent editorial asks what on earth has happened in Tulsa. Why should young men band themselves together for criminal pursuits? The young men in question came, without exception, from homes of the "better" type, homes where social attitudes had been stressed, where religion and morality and right thinking were dominant in the training. Where there is nothing wrong with the environment, and nothing discoverably at fault in the stock, what are we left to think asked the editorial writers, except that those who would attribute criminality to environment. The difficulty is: we are looking in the wrong quarter for the cause of crime, and we are still encumbered by the remnants of the old m o-n possession theory. Described in its broadest terms, crime is an individual malady like sickness and represents a failure in adjustment. Society itself is an agreement between many to refrain from certain acts, like killing, so that many other things, such as peaceable living, can be accomplished. Society itself is repressive of strong, instinctive, aggressive drives. People driven by strong compulsive forces will and must satisfy them in some manner. This is known definitely from experimentation in psychiatry. In short, we will either satisfy ourselves by some means applauded by society, or we will satisfy ourselves regardless of cost. Both mind and body combine in the criminal to reach for a goal disapproved by the rest of us. But he must and will attain that end, society or no. If we can ever be strictly scientific tife about seeing the crime from the criminal's angle, we shall probably lose our present attitude about right and wrong. When we have advanced thus far, we will understand that crime is not to be dealt with in the manner of amputating a festered leg, but in the manner of keeping the leg from ever getting festered. And that day will be milenial, since to reach it we must reorder our society more nearly to our satisfaction than it is now. Furthermore, we must develop a technic for spotting the incipient maladjusted, and a method for supervising their return to adjustment. Motto of the world: United we and in total disagreement. GRACEFUL RETREAT. France has gracefully agreed to German acquisition of the Saar region. The magnanimous act is interpreted as meaning peace in the Saar, with Germany pledging herself to respect all races, and to respect the integrity of the people. France gets payments for her financial interests in the mines of the country. France does not want, and never has wanted the Saar. She never resorted to propagating in the region, as Germany did. She has learned her lesson with regard to having German people as an integral part of the nation through much blood-spilling. Moreover, she does not need the expanses of coal fields in the region. Her Alsace district supplies all that is necessary. General Knox, British statesman, has seen to it that fair play has been observed in conducting the affairs of the country. It is possible that the populace of the Saar will vote to continue League supervision with Knox at the helm of government. They like Knox because under his rule business has been good, and the series of economic set-backs suffered in the rest of the world has not hurt the Saar. So France is making sure the vote will not be split on the side against Germany. The few who would have voted for alliance with France will now go over to the retaining of the present status. France needs this little buffer state on her frontier, and she is taking the only measure left to her to continue it. CAMPUS OPINION Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Kanan. Articles over 200 words in length are submitted for approval on any subject are invited. As the writer of the news story about the symposium on Fascism, I wish to correct two mistakes in editing concerning the statements of Dr. John Lee and also to pass the buck to some unknown copy-reader. I am terrified of the dubious prospect of Professor Ise' article. He must make me no more the point of view. And I think is hardly to be preferred to most forms of the coup de grace. Editor Daily Kansan: Dr. Ice made it clear that Fascism is capitalism of a reactionary type, and that it arises from the necessity for self-interest, in addition to being against a radical threat. The sentence quoted, without the inserted clause, explains a trend toward Fascism where Communism is threatening the existent state, which, I think, was Dr. Ice meaning. The particular sentence that I have reference to reads: "In answer to a question concerning American trends under Communist threats, the Dr. (Jose) Baldwin believes that capitalism will act to defend itself with a leader of the Huay Long type." The clause, "he explained that if Fascius does arise," was written in verse the meaning of the sentence, making Fascius a threat to capitalism. The inertion head "Command Huey Long" above the paragraphs devoted to Dr. Ise talk, is quite enough to drive both him and myself to drink, even in Kansas. No one, probably, dinkles about his growing threat to democracy more than John Ise.

WHEELER, Corresponding Secretary I trust, on the appearance of this letter, that I have been saved for a future class and possible passing grade under Dr. Ise. A Reporter ROCK --- CHALKLETS Conducted by R. J.B. This department is in receipt of a b of correspondence from one who calls himself "A Poet." Mr. Poet calls u to wrong in last Sunday's portion o Chalklets. It seems that Adam Poet has been giving us too much credit and when we got the first line of the poem wrong, his hopes fell. The poem should Mices are sweet, sweet, Possums are peachireno keen Possums are peachireno keen Shredders Skunks stink. "If you want to print a very fine poem," the writer goes on, "please do correctly and don't make us suffer a count of your 'no connection' humor." Here's his poem and he asks us what we think: We have always figured there was something wrong with out humor and we're glad to find it and clarify matters. We also decided to clarify matters a little we did a bit of sieuring to find just who was the author of this unknown letter and the perpetrator of this murder. The author of that the author is Carl "The Kid" Bushey, sax托orter for Black Redburns' orchestra, better known to the boys in the group, Lil Eng Po. I let us have, 'Lim Peng.'

In these days of setbacks and shocks we've a tendency to take things as they come and not to be ruffled by them. But there are a few things at which we were climbing the snow covered hill at Eleventh street we chanced to meet a comer-downer. The bitter wind had not permitted the snow to melt and we were down the walk. We felt sorry for him as we were having a difficult enough time climbing up. Finally we met and a passing glace revealed that he was chawing on a chocolate ice cream cone. He stopped and to get a good look at such a dope. He slithered on down the way and as we stood there watching him we were filled with the dewelish wish that he slip and break his bloomin' They tell us that the only uncrewened professional field at the present time is the veterinary field.
