AS THE SMOKE CLEARS
"The tumbul and the shouting dies," the hazers and anti-hazers have carried their battle to the polls, and tomorrow the victors will be known.
Regardless of who wins the argument, the Hill is better for having had it was a needed stimulant for her bored campus. But he said that it overcame the pressure people have to thinking about public questions, and moved students to express their opinions one way or the other on a question that was important but had aroused little discussion before.
Those who did not vote may remember that he who will not use the ballot when the opportunity is given him has no right to cavil afterward, if the result does not suit him.
"Most men take up golf for relaxation," says P. L. N. Flint, "but it only increases my worries."
100,000,000 FLIES
Since the time when universities and colleges were first started there have been any number of things connected with the institutions which are not very conducive to study.
At Kansas we have a number of these disturbing influences in the forms of varsity dances, parties, football games, the mid-week dances, ece. But also at Kansas this year we have a new form of pest. The library is full of flies.
To say that the library is full of flies is putting it mildly because it is literally packed with the lovable little insects. You try to read and they crawl over the pages of your book, they crawl on your hands and tickle you, they crawl on the rims of your glasses and you think you are seeing dragons or at least have the delirium tremens in a minor form. In the reserve room you not only have a book on reserve waiting for you; you also have your daily quota of some fifty flies for your own personal use and enjoyment. 'Tis indeed a sad, sad, state of affairs.
As long as the warm weather stays with us we shall have the flies accompanying our library assignments; and so, with all due respect to a famous character in history, "Give me a professor who does not assign library readings, or give me a Flit Gun."
The tragic episode enacted in Hungary in 1200 desperate coal mine mines more shocked the middle world into the realization that situations too terrible for credence are taking place frequently in this well-ordered universe.
HUMAN LIFE COMES CHEAP
Conditions which would actuate men with families to face mass suicide in the dark and suffocating depths of a coal mine until their terms were accepted by their employers, are incomprehensible to the average American.
The strikers revolted against
proposed wage cut of 8 per cent in pay which averaged under $2 per week. The workers demanded an increase in wages and the extension of the working time from two to five days. The terms granted after the miners had been in the pit for four and one half days without food or water were an agreement to eliminate the wage cut, a guarantee of an increase in working time to three days, and the promise of a $3 bonus to each man to help tide over the winter.
Human life has become considerably cheaper than cannon fodder. Man considers animals he buys as an investment and looks after them carefully, but some employers work their employees to capacity and then turn them loose to shift for their substance. The words of Carlyle contemplating unemployment are applicable here:
"A poor man seeking work; seeking leave to toil that he might be fed and sheltered! That he might be put on a level with the four-footed workers of the planet which is his! There is not a horse willing to work, but can get food and shelter in requital; a thing this two-footed worker has to seek for, to solicit occasionally in vain. . . ."
A lesson employers might learn is that human life wears out more easily than machinery and causes more trouble when out of repair.
DISAPPOINTMENT
The number of students turning out to hear Secretary Perkins Tuesday evening demonstrated a rather remarkable interest in the national problems coming under the head of labor. Evidently the students really wanted to get a clearer understanding of the situation. We're wondering if the lecture helped very much in that direction.
To come to the point at once, Miss Perkins didn't say much of anything. She told some very amusing stories, foresaw a very pleasant advance, on a "moral and intellectual, as well as material" front, advocated economic security, explained some of the economics of mass production. But she didn't mention strikes or unions or collective bargaining under the NRA. The secretary of war might have been dealing with those problems, for all we heard.
Two questions at the end of the lecture revealed what the people were really interested in hearing—one thing being Miss Perkins' opinion of the thirty hour week. The answers to both queries were very carefully indefinite. In fact, the only information gained on this tour will probably accrue to Miss Perkins herself.
Despite all this, however, there is one thing to be said for the first woman cabinet member. She's getting her name and her activities before the public. We'll confess that we can't remember the name of the last secretary of labor.
In the rotogravure sections of the country's largest papers, weary citizens, annoyed with the alarming proximity of strife in a troubled world, may find refuge in the appreciation of peace and art, observes the National for October 3.
As a strong means of conveying pictorial impression, newspaper rotogravure sections are permeating the minds of the public with the assurance that all is well and that art is still its own excuse for being.
An examination of twenty-five leading newspapers carried on by that magazine revealed that in a time of heated conflict between industry and labor, when textile workers left their looms, and concurrent with significant and revolutionary events both at home and abroad, the picture sheets displayed a decided preference for photographs of beautiful women, dignified royalty, local parades and baby champions.
Throughout the week headlines shout from the news columns the
ALL IS WELL ON SUNDAY
The public needs a sedative, to a certain extent, but ignoring of unpleasant current events invites the danger of unawareness until a crisis at hand.
conflict of a confused and rapidly-changing world struggling to stabilize itself, until the shugglish minds of all-of-us become sufficiently stirred to think, and then the Sunday rotrogravure hastens to soothe us back into a contented leathery.
Because of the complicated lithographic process required in the making of rotogravure pictures, they may not be produced as rapidly as ordinary news photographs; but, a picture of strike violence a week late has decidedly more value than a reproduction of Hitler receiving an ovation from three million of his loyal followers.
Campus Opinion
A Sorority Girl
On Greek Snobbery
Prepare you, robbity frat and security poets and women, for a bit of spouting on your undemocratic spirit on our camp I ask you, why should one pin or another determine a person's charisma? If you're a student at an after school days are over, a pin doesn't determine whether a man will be John D. Rockefeller the Second, or the president of the United States, or a common street clanger. Back out to my subject
Editor Daily Kansan
One factor that may be the cause of our condition is the locality of the houses. They are grouped in cliques and spread out so that naturally a neighborly spirit grows up with the group across the street or next door. But why can't we feel that we are too sophisticated, and would feel that we were being elementary if we walked across the campus and gave a friend the satisfaction of knowing that we thought that much of him. We can't move our homes, so what to be done? This example of snobbiness overheard in a classroom is typical of the prevailing spirit. A certain frat man of so-called highstanding turned to a college and asked for advice from a state and said, "Do you know a Mary Doc, who is a so-and-so member?" I had a date with her the other night before I found out her sorority she belonged to, but she was one swell girl and I am enjoyed the evening." The girl said, "My word, wonder why she happened to pledge that she." The boy answered, "I would go over there, but I believe I will break the precedent."
Suggestions for Dance Managers
Sincerely.
Now I ask you, why should it make any difference to that boy who sorrowly the girl belonged to? Of course if he be a regular fellow it won't, but he indicated as much. What is the sign of standards. Is that what is taught in Greek organizations? No, but one would think so. Why shouldn't the girl or boy pledge the same he liked the monarchs and felt at home? The name or the title? You who read this, think it over—try to come from some conclusion as to what it is to be done. K.U. is known as a sobriety school. That something to be proud of? It's beyond me to answer. Being a member of a Greek organization myself, it's almost majority of all Greek men and women.
Now that all the hullabaloo over her dancing is ended, I have a suggestion for the Hill dance managers. Coming to KU this year as a freshman, I was amazed at the cheapness of the University舞会, especially the mid-week waviness. To most of the variability which I heard, I had this idea. I have two times, whether she knows the men who cut her, and found about half of them are strangers to her. She told me, of ones that she does know but doesn't like to dance with. I have also talked with various upperclassmen, and asked them why they weren't at the dances. They often answer, "Oh, I don't know how to dance." And body and everybody, you have to dance whether you like it or not."
Editor Daily Kansan:
My suggestion is to have several program dances during the year, if the midweeks are to continue as they are. With all the talk lately, . . . . about raising our standards to those of the big universities, we should raise our dance standards also.
Another suggestion I have is that one of the week-end varieties be designated the "Hobo Dance," with all the dancers drunken as the students used to be on the old Hobe Day. Have primes—and here, a common cut cute dance would be in order.
A Mere Freshman
Illinois Editor
Wants Tattered Spectacle
Of Hobo Parade
Will the time-honored tradition of "bola parade" be cast into dislike, or will this glorious hit of foolishness be retained to brighten up our Homecoming celebrations? This is the question confronted by the general chairman of Homecoming.
In the past years the "hobo parade" was one of the big events of Homecoming weekend, and which both fraternity and sororities entered into with enthusiasm and friendly rivalry. Spectators lived the streets for blocks to see the clowns, hobos, acrohats, and other members in the crowd. The interest in down the judge's decisions as to who should win the loving cup—emblematic of the "biggest fool at Illinois." In Red Grange's day no Homecoming was successful or complete without a "hobo parade." And this year "Red" returns to be the guest of honor at our university.
During recent years, interest in the parade has lagged, entries have fallen off, and the whole spirit of the event and general sense of it has been forgotten about the meaning and significance of the parade that this year it is seriously considered being
But Fraker, rather than make his decision alone, has decided to appeal to the public and the students for support. If students show sufficient interest and respond to this editorial by entering the "hobo parade" this ancient tradition will be maintained. Fraker has left it up to the student body to decide how much of the real Illini spirit and come out for the "hobo parade," or must this tradition that has been handed down to us be discontinued because of ack of support and enthusiasm?
All students desiring to enter the "boo parade" should leave their entries at the office of the Illinois Union not later a dawn a clock morning after.
Independents and organized students, this Homecoming promises to be the greatest encore of "Red" Grange, with its roses "A "Hobo parade," "Daily Illini."
