SENIOR DECORUM
The senior meeting yesterday was reminiscent of high school days when teacher was out of the room. The president had a difficult time in trying to establish order and never thoroughly succeeded. Certain groups in the audience even felt called upon to "boo" all measures of which they disapproved.
When a vote was called, the hustiest lungs were the means to victory. Instead of requiring a standing vote to make sure of the defeat or passage of proposals, it was left to chance, and those who could yell "aye" or "nay" the louder.
Out of all this pandemonium, however, a worthy project emerged somehow. The class finally managed a questionable "aye" vote to tax each member $1 for the purpose of leaving a memorial to the University in form of a monetary addition to the student loan fund. For its gift, the class should be highly commended.
The city newspaper columnists expose the charity seeker who keeps a cigar in his mouth, but not to be outdone the Kansan submits the CWA worker who drives a car and lives in a fraternity house.
HOW HIGHER EDUCATION FAILS
Schools of higher education are failing in their purpose to make students effective and thoughtful citizens of the world in which they are to live, and to inspire them to efforts which will contribute to the further improvement of public welfare. They are becoming mere intellectual cafeterias where securing an education is a matter of attending classes, of formalities and of remembering intricate and useless facts for examinations.
Having taken so many hours of political science, having so many years of mathematics, or having flunked so much Latin, the average student is graduated not only without any intellectual passion but with an aversion to books, with no habit of independent judgment, with small-boy ideas about hero worship and prejudices; he is intolerant and has no capacity for self-criticism. The primary aim is to pass the courses leading to a degree, now the object instead of the symbol.
Have the professors and the system which they practice not lagged in giving students an insight to what is happening outside the classroom?
The record of political, social, and economic leadership from the beginning of history is studded with the names of youthful patriots of all nations, but the typical American student of today has been inclined to treat the latest occurrences in government with boredom or cynicism and does not so much as keep up with the news, to say nothing of reading critical journals.
If youth does not advance, humanity will recede. It is necessary that the young people awaken to activity and bear a
hand in building up the nation. Rather than accuse students of being unreliable, superficial thinkers, and lacking keen knowledge of world-wide affairs, why not utilize their indomitable enthusiasm, courage, vision, idealism and intelligence?
Ot no time since the American Revolution has there been so great an opportunity for students to break into leadership and aid their fellow-man in the struggle for security and comfort.
The University of Kansas has its beauty queens and now Kansas State is choosing its best-dressed man. Wonder how Hollywood press agents will survive such competition?
AN IDOL FALLS
Confronted with an opportunity to demonstrate the ardent and intrepid spirit that the great American lover should possess, he has failed. Gilbert Roland challenged Gable to battle for the favor of Constance Bennett's smiles, and Gable accepted as any woman would have expected. But when the showdown came, he backed down just like any 40-inch-waistline husband.
Clark Gable has doomed himself to be just a mug after all in the estimation of American women.
After it was all over he displayed bad taste, in both chivalry and diction, with the statement, "I don't think it's important enough to talk about." American femininity should be in a receptive mood for the coming of a new perfect lover.
Scientists have some birds that can sing two notes at the same time. Political birds, no doubt.
PROGRESS
Our forefathers looked on in amazement when steam engines were installed in the early clipper ships. They gasped with astonishment when they witnessed the first cinder-belching steam locomotive. They threw up their hands in wonderment when the horseless carriage made its first appearance. All of these advances in transportation are not so very far remote.
Since that time we have witnessed man's conquest of the air in massive airliners driven by powerful motors. We have cheered with approval the conquering of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by the famous transatlantic fliers. We have seen and read of the powerful steel ocean liners which have reduced the voyage time to Europe from five months to six days. Now we witness the new spirit of the rails created recently by the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
The greatest strides in transportation have been made in our very lifetime. From the horseless carriage to the tear-dropped streamlined motor car, from the dinky engine to the powerful 110 mile air-condition speed train, from the Wright brothers' lighter-than-air craft to the coast-to-coast airliners in 24 hours, we have advanced in this history making era.
Some people seem to feel that they can be a greater success socially if they try to make an impression on those around. They may attempt to convey the idea that they are overlooked material for the brain trust. Then there is the person who is always singing in your ear when you are dancing—if he could croon he would be getting paid for it. Also there is the person who tries to make you think that he has traveled more than Frank Buck. Other people have different techniques. Some of them try baby talk. Some of them have their own individual words. And then
The case of the student, who feels he is being over-worked in his educational pursuits is analogous to the old Negro farmhand who retorted when asked why he complained after asking for work, "If I asked for a drink I'd hate to be drowned."

Each day newspaper headlines give accounts of the daring escapes made by criminals over prison walls and otherwise. Recently people have heard the cry of "wolf, wolf" so often they are wondering if guards and others in authority are not warned in advance of the break and perhaps remunerated sufficiently to shoot to one side. This surely seems to be the case, especially when the
there's the person who pronounces this language as no other person in the world does it.
They should be able to see that for a while they make an impression, but in the long run we see beneath the surface. The novelty wears off and by that time we are tired of them. If they would just be themselves we should like them better. After the veneer has worn off, we like them less than we should have had they not made the "grand play."
Lawrence hospitality: "I'm glad you called. I won't have to mail you your bill now."
WILFRED McCLAIN, Vice President.
There is one other person who does not come in this class: That is the girl who is always trying to be just the way everybody wants her to be. As a result she ends up with her real personality submerged. She is a mixture, and thus is devoid of personality. It would be much better if she would try to please herself a little more, and not be tailor-made for all of her friends.
Prison walls are just as secure as ever, and there is small excuse for desperate characters of the Dillinger type being at large.
These escapes at first were accepted as genuine, but when so many criminals are leaving prisons, almost daily, by other means than the door, the situation has assumed a different aspect.
newspapers print detailed reports of the escape, telling of the guards being surprised and overpowered by convicts carrying wooden guns and similar deadly weapons.
Advertisements are now being placed in the comic supplements of Sunday newspapers where they rightly belong, but we didn't know that the advertisers were conscious of the fact.
Our Contemporaries
FOR POLE-SITTERS ONLY
Some student who had a yen for mathematics once figured out that in order to obtain a degree a student has to listen to one and one-half years of lectures. He figured it out this way: In order to obtain a degree a student must pass 120 hours of work of which 103 hours is lecture work. This does not include courses a student has flunked.
This being true, the statistically minded student then figured that 8,320 years will be spent in four years by new students sitting and listening to lectures.
This information, of course, is published mainly for those numerous polesitters who think life is nothing but one long sit.
"I must have been asleep at the switch,"
remarked a customer who looked 30 but who was really only 20. What he meant was the switch young men are making from the plain sack coat to the Norfolk.
And if there was one place in Lawrence above all others for this man, to drop that remark. . . it was right here.
