THE BAND BRIGHTENS ITS COLORS
The University bond is being treated to a "New Deal" which promises to make the organization into one of the most colorful and spirited groups in the campus picture this year.
Within a month 90 or more enthusiastic band man will be ready to step out before the football crowds in bright new uniforms of flashy red and blue, decorated with white belts, braid and gift buttons, to enlist the spirit of the team and rooters, and possibly to carry some of that spirit to the campuses of rival schools.
Director Russell L. Wiley, who is responsible for the ideas that have become parts of the "New Deal," believes that the new uniform is the most important factor in the regeneration of the band. He had to convince the money-handling authorities of the idea's value, but that has been accomplished and Mr. Wiley predicts that Kansas will have the best dressed band in the Big Six.
Some of the proposals by the new director were greeted with doubtful smiles at first, but one by one they are going into effect. Players who have been successful in tryouts have shown themselves willing to turn out at 7:30 o'clock five days a week for practice. The desired membership of 90 or more is almost a certainty. The new uniforms will be ordered within a week.
Although the Tulsa alumni, who asked that the band attend the Tulsa University game, are to be disappointed, it is probable that the musicians will make other trips with the team, at which time they should be a distinct credit to the University.
The fame of the new band already has spread enough that several new students have been attracted to the University of Kansas by it, and many more are expected to seek the opportunity to participate in it next year. That gives it an unusual distinction which has been held heretofore only by outstanding athletic teams.
The lack of winter feed for livestock will not be so disastrous if the farmer's fall wheat and pastures are doing as well as the weeds in front of Wattons library
AS ORDERLY AS A PRISON
A metropolitan newspaper has recently advanced the theory in its editorial column that "The only place more orderly than a university is a prison." It it goes on to say that throughout his college career the student has every thing mapped out for him, so that all he has to do is follow his course and eventually he will receive his degree. But when he has his degree, and when he steps out into the world in quest of a job, he steps from order into chaos. He finds rules to break and rewards for breaking them. He finds power and influence and dishonesty often times overpowering honesty, merit, and industry.
We wonder if the newspaper in question has really taken the time
to draw a close comparison between college life and the real thing, so to speak.
College is far from being a model institution with inreproachable morals, and the college student leads anything but a cloistered life. And as to his needing a course of training in the arts of tax evasion, marrying the boss's daughter, or badgering relief organizations out of extra money, clothes, or food, what better training does he get than in cribbing to avoid studying, or "apple polishing" to gain the professor's favor, or lapping up his pet theories for a higher grade?
THE POSITION OF WAR IN COLLEGE
Apparently the question on compulsory military training in colleges and universities is receiving more and more attention in this country. The trend has been away from the compulsory feature of the training. Some 65 institutions have abolished military courses and 14 have made them elective within the past 10 years, yet rumblings of a few reversions to compulsory drill in this country—and worse yet, abroad—are still heard.
It is doubtless gratifying to the students and alumni of the University of Kansas to know that it was one of the first in this movement to make preparation for war a matter of choice on the part of the students. One newspaper in the state notes that "there is no agitation at the University over military training, and the University unit accordingly seems to be more satisfactory, since those entering it do so of their own free will and accord, and presumably like it more diligently.
The principal objection to military training in college is that it takes war for granted.
The high purpose of institutions of education is to provide citizens with the ability to make this a better world. Therefore, it seems, instruction in the causes of war and means for the prevention of war would be more compatible with the purpose of the colleges.
The senate committee investigating the sale of munitions is collecting, material, which should make a sound basis for a course entitled, The Causes and Prevention of War.
The University authorities will undoubtedly soon find out where they should have laid the new walks during the summer.
CORN, HOGS AND STUDENTS
In one of its recent editorials the Kansas City Times points out the fact that the increased food prices which the urbanite is going to have to pay this winter are not above normal. The Times shows that meats, lard, butter, milk products, and eggs, have been selling almost without profit to the dealers because of their surplus on the market. This summer's drouth added to the curtailment policies of the national government, increased railroad rates, and increased labor wages, has so depleted the surplus of recent years and the yield of the past year that the demand has again become greater than the supply. Consequently food prices are returning to normal.
The Times goes on to quote hens at 20 cents a pound, butter at 30 to 35 cents, and eggs about the same. Students coming to the University from Kansas farms and seeing these quoted prices, or their effect on restaurant and boarding house prices, will stop and wonder. They may recall having recently sold heavy hens for 10 cents a pound, light hens for 6 cents, butterflies for 20 or 21 cents and eggs for 18 to 20 cents. They may also recall their parents having had their contracted acres and their contracted hogs arbitrarily cut to fit government estimates. They may also recall General Hugh Johnson's recent $9,000 a year increase in salary, one day's part of which might keep them in college a whole month.
Prices are returning to normal, we are told; but does that norm involve its wide and unfair range of discrepancies of a few year's back.

We note with ill-concealed amusement that the self-styled perpetuators of KU. traditions have not yet had sufficient education to spell correctly. May we suggest that the next time the K-Club hands out instructions to freshmen in spelling and spelling are lacking in training of spellers two and three syllable words?

Is life any smoother and happier for you because you were brought up to believe eternally true and right all the old tradition, the out-of-date ideals and outworn loyalties which so many intelligent people today are scrapping?
It is this loss of faith in all the maxims that college mothers and fathers seem to fear. Chances are that mother sent you off to school with a warning against atheism, perhaps even evolution, and that father is preparing himself to meet your attack of socialism. To the outsider education is the freeing of one's mind for new ideas. From the inside however, we begin to wonder whether free minds are really being formed. It is possible that current education is serving merely to establish a new set of standards no more everlasting than the old ones? I may be that those who decry the questioning attitude of the student have no real cause for worry
Some student's mother will fry chicken and bake a cake and mail these to the student's room. That cost would be low. But for others, the stretch between the two sets of prices will continue.
CAN PROFESSORS TEACH THE TRUTH?
Tau Sigma will meet Tuesday night at 7:30 in Robinson gymnasium.
A rather warm discussion has been aroused by an article which appeared in Herper's a few months ago. "Fathers Are Liar." The anonymous author stated his reasons for deliberately passing on to his son a heritage of beliefs and attitudes which he had come to regard as utterly false. This father felt that he could not take the responsibility of meddling with his child's life, even to equip him with what little knowledge he had filtered out of his own painful experience.

One of our great near-by metropolitan newspapers is responsible for the following headline:
Afraid of Hitler?
The nomination for the two most conscious freshmen out at Kansas State was made by the Collegian; The girl who is studying for the aptitude tests and the boy who was seen perusing the 'bird page of the peace club pamphlet.
"Plague the next person who shouts the praises of 'this grand, invigorating boy (og)." So says the Daily Californian.

The politician has a PROMISING career, says E.E.P. of Fort Scott.
Charles M. Harger, member of the Kauai Board of Regents, states in his Abille Reflector (expired from the Kauai City Journal-Post).
"Two years ago the Board of Regents endeavored to regulate the use of motor cars by students at the state schools. It noted the accidents that had occurred and felt that joy riding lessened the scholastic standing of the students. It required that parents sign a card permitting their children to have cars at school and to be responsible for their safety. It was a failure because more than half the parents refused to sign the cards and cars were used as before. The board had no authority to suspend students who disobeyed the order and after a year's trial it was abolished. This has not stopped efforts in other states have met the same lack of co-operation on the part of parents and students.
UP TO THE PARENTS
"During the past years many students have met death while joy riding on the highways, others have been
maimed. The board of regents does not believe that, except in few instances, a motor car is a necessary equipment of college students. Apparently, and the board are helpless to regulate this situation. It is up to the parens".
And for that matter the entire system of higher education, as represented by the state universities, is up to the parents. The situation in the endowed college is different. It is established and maintained for certain specific purposes and no matter what the shortcomings of its executives or faculties the purpose are usually pamphul. The public can take it or leave it.
But in the case of the state university the public must be considered. The parents, as taxpayers, are virtually trustees. The university is a direct reflection of their hopes, their aspirations, and their expectations. The fraternity system is not a very flattering commentary on the state of civilization among parents.
It has always amused me that in the eastern colleges where the great wealth of the country is represented, where the millionaires and the billionaires are present, the fraternity is regarded as outrageously undemocratic to be tolerated. Whereas, in Kansas the cate system is encouraged in order that the Smiths who make $3,000 a year and are mortgaged to the hill, may be assured that no rubbing about with the offspring of the Jones will make $2,500.
Surely Mr. Harger knows that the motor car, like the fur coat, is only an integral part of the fraternity system. He knows that in 75 per cent of the cases Mary or John are sent to the university to acquire the social prestige of a Greek letter degree. He knows that in 75 per cent of the cases the A.B. degree is a necessary evil and it allows the other one as long as digitility to the other is not possessed. Does Mr. Harger suppose Mary or John can take the very most desirable Greek letter degree without a fur coat and a car?

No, the Italian boy must spend all his available time learning the parts of a machine gun and military tactics. To learn these skills, Benito Mussolini, compulsory for all males between the ages of eight and 33. The purpose of the training of young boys is "to give boys a passion for mill-

tary life through frequent contacts with the armies forced whose war-like glories and traditions will be re-revoked," said the Italian cabinet.
*Passion* and *war* are hardly elements usually used in connection with the molding of youth's character by boys, who live in dangerous boys at the formative age.
War may be inevitable in Europe. We do not dispute that. No man living has the power of prophecy to either sanction or disprove when incorporated in the education of that inevitability. However, Musolonga is not clearing away the legacy of the past by training Italy's children to be bloodthirsty and sadistic "heroes."
Hand in hand with this new program goes the campaign for more babies. Necessary better babies—junior Mussolini's slogan might be "Fro cradle to battlefield. You raise 'em. W mow 'em down."
