IT'S JUST A SORT OF GAME
Finals are only five weeks away.
That means four more weeks of grace, then will come that hectic week of final preparation. Like the day of judgment, that week will hold no fears for most of those students who have kept faith. For them it will be a week of more or less casual review.
But for those who "had plenty of time to study later," it will be, as the hour of reckoning, too late. Their averages will be on the border line and they will have to "hit those finals or take a bunch of flunks." Cramming will become more popular than necking. But even that will not suffice, and so quiz files will be at a premium and the most ingenious cribs will be prepared and smuggled into class rooms on the fatal days.
Perhaps a few of these cribs will be detected, but the majority will be successful and passing grades will be the rewards for their users, along with smug feelings of self-content at having been helped the prof
Dishonesty? Why, no one ever thinks of cribbing as being dishonest. It isn't like stealing money or anything like that! Something has to be done to get by these hard-boiled profs, and cribbing is the only way out, unless you're a genius or a grind. We can't all be the former, and a self-respecting student doesn't want to be the latter. Anyway, cribbing can't be dishonest or everybody wouldn't do it. It's just a sort of game to beat the profs, that's all.
INTERNATIONAL GOSSIP.
The average student today does his best studying when he has a radio on hand so he can catch the mood of some jazz band or the latest slang of his favorite comedian entertainer.
The American public is dependent on the press for practically all news of foreign affairs and because of the censorship of news sources imposed by foreign governments readers are likely to get the wrong slant on events.
Foreign correspondents are working under huge difficulties. They must use the services of news bureaus, and those bureaus are closely supervised by the governments, so readers must rely on them. A foreign correspondent may learn by himself. And those facts are usually scanty.
We should make allowances for imagination and extravagance in foreign news. For instance, a study of the New York Times reveals that its report of the Russian Revolution of 1917 was highly inaccurate. An observer returning from Russia this summer says that Russian newspapers depicted the longshoremen's strike in San Francisco as being the beginning of The Revolution. The same papers asserted that people were staring during the milk strikes.
Dr. Dengler said that he was led to believe the Socialist apartment houses in Vienna were quite ruined by shell-fire in their last
civil war. But upon visiting Vienna himself he found very little evidence of such destruction.
Similarly we must take the stories of the present Russian and Balkan troubles with a grain of salt. There is no denying their seriousness, but they should not be magnified.
From Huey Long's latest actions, someone must have spiked his famous "pot likker" with some Loozeean noun liquh.
AMERICA'S FRANKENSTEIN
The coming session of congress is drawing the usual amount of guesses from the electorate. Immediately after election our government is the farthest from its presumed purpose—that of representation of the people. Congressmen have just finished their campaign. They have bowled and scrapped, shaken hands and pleaded with their voters. More than that they have promised as good politicians always do.
Now, right after election, and so long before another voting spasm that all may be forgotten, congressmen are likely to show their independence, and the electorate stands by wondering whether the one they have elevated from county attorney or ward heeler to congressman will remember the platform on which he was elected. They speculate as to whether he is a radical or a conservative, whether he is a spender or whether he is economical, whether he will enter into the graft that it is rumored has surrounded the national capital or whether he will be an honest representative of the people following their demands and listening to their orders.
The defect of our representative system of government is the lack of honest sincere men. The cure, if there be a cure, is to inject into Congress a conscience which it seems to lack. As the situation now is, the public builds this Frankenstein every two years and destroys it about as often. The power to destroy it is the best argument for representative government.

The Kansan Takes a Bow
Editor Daily Kansan:
The Kansas has become an organ of pacifism, as can be seen by your recent stand against the supreme court's decision on the R.C.T. How did the Kansan come to even choose a policy? Was it handed down, from above, or was it suggested by come mild, bespectacled professor or student who unwrittingly led you to choose a policy that would mean just that; for rationally your paper could not be called anything but a fence-straddler.
It is doubtful whether your Kansan knows why it has turned pacifist. Probably that evolves from the same lack of courage in the past as its soap box and condemn a Huey Long or an Upton Sinclair. You will of course admit that you don't know Huey
your R.O.T.C. You condemn them here,肾你 the "radicals" because a commercialized and reactionary big city has seen fit to ridicule them and chortle at their ideas. But the big city press damms Huey and Upton, and forthwith puts them on parrats and jochs. That is the thing to do.
War is not to be condemned. I would want to be the last man to advocate as is a means of settling disputes; yet I would want to be the last to admit that if such was the business end of a rifle it which me one face on face on my door-step.
And so with the R.O.T.C. Some professor tells you that peace is good because in war somebody is going to get the Karnan jump up on its soap box and endeth the war. That is the thing to do; maybe you will get a well earned grade.
Apparently your main thought behind your policy of opposition to R.O. regulation against being compelled to work in a Compulsory military training; revile the thought! Compulsory education up to the age of sixteen, compulsory taxation, compulsory children out of factories, compulsory inspection of the foods you will eat,

CANDIDATES FOR MILITARY AND NAVAL ACADEMIES:
presentation of the wate you will drink, revile the thought! This is exaggerated to an extrem that it may appear that logic is loot. But to write mental anguish against any one which the government has fit to enact for the preservation of democracy against them all. There is a word for that; some call it individualism; others anarchy.
The Kansan has become an organ of pacifism. You would live in a neighborhood of bands and leave your lath-string out.

The "Cash" dining club laid in a store of twenty bushels of apples. No outside admitted except by invitation.
We speak of it now so that no senior will graduate and leave towns, as one or two students did last year, without having his society缴.
If the Soops do not even up with the Juniors for last year's red pepper they certainly deserve the pepper.

Tuesday, to discuss their projected party. It was discovered that several of the "dudes" had been previous and asked their girls, and the "Kops" were not. Finally they pointed to the power of pen to describe. Finally the "dudes" yielded gracefully (1), and the choice of fair ones determined by lot. The girls who did not succeed are and is happy. If so, why not?

Rock Chalklets wishes to inform all readers that he is now in a condition to take on a great bulk of contributions. Hitherto our blessed contributors have contributed so far, we hope they will drop by Moxley at the desk in the newsroom. To eliminate the Christmas congestion we have leased the box adjoining the Sour Owl (nivea company) which is sitting on the wall behind the Kansan newsroom. We hope we get more contributions than our neighbor Editor Blowers, who is like Old Mother Hubbard who used to be the bare cupboard in the office. We drop dropping an item or two into our new box.
