WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1934 THE KANSAN GETS A BREAK After all, the editorial column of the Kansan is read! This interesting bit of information came to light in the course of the campus problems speaking contest last night. Mr. Logan Lane, an embryo lawyer, divulged the fact when, during his tirade against the Kansan, he quoted almost verbatim a recent editorial appearing therein. Mr. Lane went on to brand the Kansan as a mere laboratory sheet, absolutely devoid of editorial policy or opinion. It is looked upon by the student body as nothing more than an official bulletin, he said, and a poor one at that, one which reports coming events two or three days after they have happened. He even went so far as to say that it took no journalistic training to enable one to put out such a paper as the Kansan. All in all, Mr. Lane painted a very dark picture of the Kansan. But through it all, like the silver lining, shines the fact that someone read the editorial column. MICHIGAN STATE TOO GOOD FOR KANSAS? When the Duke of Kent marries Princess Marina his salary will jump from $50,000 to $125,000. It would be difficult to convince the English taxpayers that two can live cheaper than one. The Michigan State student newspaper has expressed its regret that a game has been scheduled with Kansas. According to it Michigan State is of Big Ten calibre and games with small schools like Kansas will bring it no prestige. Such an attitude is justifiable on two conditions: that they play better football in the Big Ten than in the Pac-12. States are really superior to Kansas. The first condition will probably be accepted by the majority. But the difference is not as great as the publicity given to Big Ten schools indicates. Newsaper stories are no more a measure of a player than the place of an athlete's birth is a measure of his ability. As for the second condition there are many proverbs about the unfortunate results of taking too much for granted, as Bill Terry did last summer, when he spoke out of turn about Brooklyn. We are in a position where we can tumble these "mightier than thou" schools from their imaginary pedestals. The Kansas scout reports that, while Michigan State has a good team with an impressive record, it can be beaten by Kansas, and the whole student body should cooperate to its utmost to win the game Saturday and place our colors on the national staff. Over the ether waves comes a suggested epitaph for Walter Winchell, to wit: "Here lies the body of Walter Winchell under the dirf he likes so well to dig up." RENEWED ENFORCEMENT The prohibition enforcement machinery of the state is being tightened up. In every city that voted wet, according to the Kansas City Times, the wet spots are being rapidly dried up. Whereas before the recent election six per cent beer and even hard liquor were sold readily in such towns as Wichita, Kansas City and Leavenworth, it has already become diffe rential with hard liquor still and case after case of beer is being shipped back to brewers. In Leavenworth, even 3.2 beer signs are disappearing from the streets. What remains to be seen is how long this enthusiasm for strict enforcement will last, even if the legislators do outlaw 3.2 beer and otherwise carry out the letter of the law. TIMID QUESTIONS John Gilchrist, German exchange scholar, has added himself to that group of young men who, through actual experience in Germany, have come to regard Hitler and his Nazis with what seems too much leniency, in the opinion of untraveled Americans. The number of men who have had similar experiences with similar results raises several questions which remain unanswered in the invective that is heaped upon Germany in current newspapers and magazines. Why does actual contact with Hitler's system make young men defend him? Is it the parades, the pageantry, the oratory? German is a window-rattling, rafter-ring language well adapted to blood and iron oratory that might make it difficult for a young man to remain "unbiased," as Gilelrst says he is trying to do. But if conditions in Germany were as deplorable as the average American thinks they are, how could young men, fresh from a well-ordered country, be so quickly and easily influenced? Gilelrst, as his predecessors have done, mentions absurd stories in the foreign press. Is the press doing a little yee man service for the propagandists who will perhaps want to make Hitler the world-recognized "starter" of the next war, as the Kaiser was of the last one? Such a movement is entirely possible. In fact the condemnation of Hitler is already so universal that such questions as these must be asked timidly and in a plaintive tone. On the other side of the question are the factual reports that come to American newspapers, to deny which would be to call the great news services liers; and that cannot reasonably be done. Hitler's recent "liquidation" by means of bullets is evidence of disorganized government. He does not seem to have any plan for his country as Mussolini has for Italy, or if he has, it is not mentioned by American commentators. Probably a great many more people have gone to Germany and come away with hatred for Hitler than have been persuaded to defend him. Young persons who may be directly affected by the final results of Hitler's work, should read carefully and seek diligently for the truth about Germany, if they are to keep the thinking straight.

CAMPUS OPINION How Many Stray Greeks on the Hill? Stirray Greek! How many such "lost" persons are wandering about the campus of the University of Kansas? One most other campuses they are organized, Stirray has an orphanage, but here each goes his own way, wishing that he were back at dear old Alabama, Oregon, or wherever he may have been initiated, so that he could have some of the benefits he was accustomed to enjoy before changing schools. What is a Stray Greek? Well, he or she is a person who belongs to a recognized Greek letter organization which recognizes them. At KU, for instance,—KU, for you. For instance, A tri Delt from Missouri is simply out of it at this man's school; likewise a Tau Kappa Epison is at somewhat of a loss as to where to turn for the fellowship he took as a matter of course back at his former school. The simple remedy for this situation is the organization of all these strays into a group which meets regularly, not only for social purposes but to encourage participation of the members in Hill country tribes, and certainly only to the participants but also to the school, for no doubt many of these people have been on the staffs of other school publications, on student senates, in religious organizations, etc. Their ideas and suggestions might prove very useful in meeting problems on the campus. If sufficient interest is shown in organizing a Stray Greek group, a more detailed plan will be outlined on seniority and experience from you if the idea meets with your approval. Leave your name with the team as soon as we will meet to discuss the proposition. A Stray, College Boys and Young Ladies of 50 Years Ago In (1884 the University was served by a Weekly University Courrier and the Weekly Review. The Courrier staff were Weekly University Currer and the W. Y. Morgan and J. Sullivan, business managers.
