CAMPUS EYESORE
Between Fraser and Watson Library a stretch of weeds and wild grass, broken by dirt paths, has replaced the once smooth area which formerly was attractively landscaped with shrubs and evergreens.
The construction work on the approach to the library, which was to have been completed by this fall, has been dropped in a state which impresses visitors as carelessness in preserving the beauty of the grounds.
Lack of funds is given as the reason for discontinuance of the work. The money used in carrying out the first part of the project was provided by the FERA. It appears that until additional funds are available the unsightly stretch will remain as it is.
With CSEP workers at hand for labor, wouldn't it be possible to improve the unfinished ground in some measure.
OUR CIVILIZED WORLD
The name of Professor Dind Biigoniari of Columbia University certainly looks incriminating and it would probably sound more so, if we knew how to pronounce it.
Japan, the country of cheery blossoms and beauty, was shaken Sunday because a police sergeant driving the pilot car ahead of Emperor Hirobito's car in a procession took a wrong turn and caused the procession to travel streets considered inadequately policed. The sergeant's wife later found him clad in his best uniform, his throat slashed by his own hand. Physicians think he may live. The officer was not the only remorseful one. The governor and other officials of Gumma prefecture, which the Emperor was touring, were reported intending to resign, while Minister Fumio Gomo, whose ministry is responsible for all police matters, was considered likely to be compelled to step out, possibly precipitating a cabinet crisis. This as because a police officer took the wrong turn; one suicide attempt, several officials resigning, and a threatened cabinet crisis. And we speak of the civilized world of today!
Can we have a civilized world when we have in it countries whose codes of behavior, respect due the royal family, or codes of any other kind demand that a man take his own life because he turns down the wrong street, or that cabinet members must resign because of a trivial mistake? Progress most certainly cannot be made by leaps and bounds while such barbarous and illogical customs remain.
The strongest argument of those who contend that no human being should take his own life is that no man has the right to take that which is not his, that every human life belongs to God in His Heaven. Most certainly therefore, no taking of human life is necessary to show due respect and love for the ruler of any country of the universe.
"FREEDOM"
A student criticized and a "statesman" retaliated. The Revilea, student publication of Louisiana State University, last week printed an open letter condemning a specific action of Senator Huey "Kingfish" Long, and the Senator ordered the presses stopped and every copy of the publication destroyed.
Although typical of Long's actions in the past, this is one of his most serious offenses to date. When it becomes impossible for a student in a state University to express his own opinion on what is, at best, a controversial subject, without the "gentleman" from Louisiana stating that "There will be a new editor of this paper tomorrow. I own this University." it is time for every University throughout the nation to arise in anger and make impossible such future actions.
Heretofore, the "Kingfish" has confined his inane exploits to the state of Louisiana. He now issues a challenge to the entire country. Are college men and women going to accept that challenge, or are they going to leave his affronteries unanswered?
It is hard to believe that the railings at the entrance to the library just happened to be designed that way, so that it is impossible to sit on them while smoking a cigarette between sleepy sessions with the books.
A GOOD IDEA GONE WRONG
America muffed a great opportunity to start the world on the road to civilization instead of barbarism when she decided not to enter the League of Nations after the war, in the opinion of a college president interviewed in Kansas City last week. A League strengthened by the entrance of the United States, which present Rooseveltian popularity might accomplish, he believes, would make disarmament possible by providing protection to the disarmed states.
With their vegetable tradition of keeping out of foreign entanglements (except in time of war, when worthwhile profits can be made), Americans will ignore or ridicule the holder of such an opinion, or, reviewing the pitiful record of the League, will question his sanity perhaps.
If there is no possibility of the League ever accomplishing more than it has done, its supporters could indeed expect little more than ridicule. Japan sent an army to China and sliced off Manchuria for herself. Interested people inquired if that wasn't a little irregular, and the League cleared her throat, frowned, made an investigation, and asked if there were any more questions. For two years the League has wurgited its hands over the fighting in the Gran Chaco, while peace-loving members were shipping war materials to the belligerents, because if they didn't somebody else would. Now that the Paraguayans have won a victory that promises to bring peace, the League is drawing up a plan to end the war. Standing on her record the League might be said to be flat on her back.
A few observers, like the college president, however, who are impractical enough to consider something besides the League's record, may search for the causes of that record and wonder if it was ever given a chance to make any other. Without the co-operation of the United States, and with each member determined to safeguard itself with enough armed men to scare off the rest of the world, the League was doomed at its inception. That it is still as good an idea as it seemed 15 years ago, however, has not been disproved.
In September the green freshmen who have never seen the campus before must ask directions to find their way around. But the buildings are plainly labeled at Homecoming for the benefit of the old grads.

a youngster got up before a meeting of the Roundtables here last weekend. He had been invited to speak on the
Here it is, Leonard O'Brynn drew a parallel between the fact of newspaper control here and in Europe. The chief agent of this new government he painted out, are to be found merely in the fact that in Germany it is government control, in France control by the Comte de Forges, and in America, by the Comte de Barras (whether recognized as such, or not).
That was the argument, or the accusation if you prefer to think of it as an unwarranted accusation. The editors of this book were presented by a produced by its pet trainer, and asked to go about shaking the hand of each. These immovable and experienced editors balked, hesitated, denied, questioned, and answered what O'Brien had said and illustrated.
It was a pity that no competent psychiatrist of the Freudian school could have been there to explain to these editors the significance of the fact that they were so upset and refused to grant the truth of what O'Bryan said. Even more a pity O'Bryan didn't say someone had hurt them. The truth is, we are vigorously any attack upon that which we have some interest in defending. And a lot of people not psychiatrists could tell you that is true.
What, then, was the matter with the editor? Just this: O'Bryan had them down on the count they never will admit. The advertiser influence useless. The author's day," etc. But the thing that is not seen by the editor is at least quite clear to the reader, that advertising influence can be traced in the news policy of any paper depending on commercial advertisement. The old boys are in a bad pinch. They must either admit the truth of advertising influence or go to more congresses of editors and stand round patiently for the news coverage. "We're a bunch of swell boys, saving the freedom of the press from government encroachment." And so on.

Band Kill, baton-twirler for the Kansas band, has one trick he does that he hasn't pulled out of the backpack. You can prove that if he can be persuaded to perform this difficult trick it will give the fans at the Michigan State game here next Saturday added zest. Here it is: you put your hands over his forearm just before he gets under the cross bar he tosses his baton twirling some 15 feet into the air and walks on catching it on the other side without a break in time. He sets them on occasions, but not very often.
Mr. Hallie Harris, EQq, able superintendent of buildings on the campus, promises his wigs and hecklers a rare surprise before long. Hallie is waging a one man war on pigeons and is progressing. He is now at the feeding up stage and plans his coup de grace de arise as the snow flies. He is stuffing him with snowflakes and getting on the good side of them, and, although he won't divulge the method of actual capture, we imagine it will come when the pigeons are dining.

--college students tend to extremes. They are prone to be either totally indifferent to public affairs, or intimately interested in some radical tinge of the moral. In college, they are hard to handle; the intellectual illiterates who are too lazy or think they are too busy to keep posted on any current events—except the adventures of comic strip characters and criminals. They constitute the greatest proportion of American youth.
With the invention of railroad feeding cars has come the abolition of the old feeding stations which at one time housed thousands along the steam highway of America.
FREAK LIVESTOCK MADE ZOO OUT OF OUT BISMARCK GROVE
Railroad's Feeding Ground That Became Scene of Annual Fari Said to Have Attracted 20,000 People to Lawrence in Summer of 1891
The land, consisting of a thirty-acre tract, was identified locally for stock and a community gathering place as well as a terminal on the Atlantic Pacific lines.
Probably the most outstanding one of these stations in the mid-west was the old Bismark feeding post. It was located on the north side of the Union Pacific right-of-way, just one mile east of Pueblo Station in North Lawrence.
It was here that sheep, cattle, heaps, and goats were stopped on their journey across the country, removed from the freight cars, and fed. Large pens and feed harms were constructed to take care of the animals while they were being again loaded into the cars and headed toward their destination.

tack a great deal of interest in the water point and adjoining Walnut groves. Executives of the railroad shipped occasionally unusual animals to the water point (self to creating additional interest.
Owned and operated entirely under the auspices of the Union Pacific stockholders, the grove attained its height as a community center in about 1850. It was during this time that the Douglas County Free Fair Association was founded, an association would stage a fair on the grove grounds. People within a one-hundred mile radius drove wagons and buggies to the point of attraction. Over sandy and dusty bottom lands they would converge along the railroad, into water, or merely steaming to see the zoo.
Although the fair records were loan with the failure of the asocacia lion in its last performance at Woodland Park in East Lawrence, in 1820, it has been rumored that as many as 20,000 people gathered during the August gathering of 1881.
Attractions, in addition to the many outstanding thoroughbirds of American califurcation, included the unusual antelope, a white-tailed deer, several Rocky Mountain sheep, one elk, a tiger and its mate, several mountain lions, a giraffe comprised the bulk of it imported.
It is probable that the maintenance of those grounds contributed in a large way to the success of this form of national recognition in this territory. Praises for outstanding cattle and houses generally went to local entrances, though entries were received elsewhere.
With the desertion of the grove in 1913 for the more desirable Woodland area, Bancroft's plans to build of Biomass slowly broke apart. The Union Pacific Railroad advertised the two animals at transportation costs and the two wood-wheeled way became a more snug housing option.
Modern speed in railroad transportation, the supplication of state by county fairs, and the disbursement of thezoo, all have played their small part in bringing to a close the history center of early day trade in Kansas.
