OPPORTUNE
Easter vacation again! The eagerness with which students greet its advent is augmented in no small degree by the fact that mid-semester examinations will nearly all be over. The students will leave their arduous scholastic duties with a sigh of relief.
The new vacation schedule put into effect for the first time last fall allows the students nearly a full week in which to recuperate or celebrate as the case may be. Lawrence will take on a deserted appearance and students forced to remain in town during the holidays will seek escape to the city or remain to study in quiet.
The half-way mark in the semester is a logical vacation time, and it is fortunate that Easter comes early this year instead of late in April, as it sometimes does, with little time left before final examinations.
STUDENTS IN POLITICS:
When one starts to get bald, it's as if his forehead tried to run up into his hair and hide, and arriving there found its hiding place gone.
The time is ripe for students to interest themselves in the vital and terrifying problem of political bossism which exists in our city and local governments. Such systems as those of Tweed, Tammany, Vare, and Pendergast, breed corruption of the worst type. Brutal assaults, machine gun massacres, bribery, and bloody, premeditated crimes are the outgrowth of a condition which has developed under the manikinage of the political boss.
In Kansas City an outraged populace has organized to support a fusion program under the banner of a Citizen's ticket so that it can more effectively fight the machine. It lost the first preliminary skirmish, but the fight is not over and there is a strong chance that the machine will be ousted.
The recent winner of the Freshman-Sophomore Oratorical contest made a strong appeal to University students, saying that the remedy for the future was in their hands. The crime of indifference hangs too heavily upon the heads of the so-called better class of society. University students have many opportunities to acquaint themselves with vital political problems and they should develop their own critical minds and school themselves in the art of clean politics.
Hill politicians should not seek to pattern their organizations after those of the big political machines. Underhanded tactics, crooked voting, and ballot-box stuffing are not the sort of practices students should indulge if they are preparing themselves for a place in the new movement against organized crime and political racketeing.
Sometimes it seems as if the red on the national treasury's books might be directly connected with the red-tape that one goes through in securing a civil service appointment.
PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE
The winning of freedom has always been a costly struggle. Wrenching liberty from a reluctant, discordant world has been bought at the price of war, agony, and human suffering.
Philippine independence is, perhaps, a new experiment. The thirteen colonies won their liberty by war; slaves were emancipated after bitter strife. England has given Iraq and Egypt freedom—a mock freedom with treaty strings attached.
Has democracy evolved and developed to the point where the selfishness of the majority can be laid aside with a stroke of the pen, and the rights and liberties of a minority returned to them, not to the Philippines, a foster child among nations, but to the Philippines, a nation among nations?
America's handling of the Philippine reaction to the bill when it goes to Manila for ratification on the anniversary of Dewey's successful entrance into Manila Bay in 1898, will tell the story.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
How often it is to be seen from the discussions about education and educational method—on our own campus as well as elsewhere—that youth is constantly rediscovering the old and giving it something of the creative impress of the new. The new has a freshness, even where it may seem immature. One is reminded by the admirably ironical vein of a recent writer in your Campus Opinion that it is the privilege of youth to underestimate the importance of what you have learned about what the past may have to say-provided, perhaps, there is some good end to be gained. Motives, however, may need to be questioned.
It was an old thought that Emerson had in mind when he said that "the secret of education lies in respecting the pupil," and again that no system of education is so good as that which is "without system." This thought, no doubt, can be exaggerated and misconceived. It does not, however, harbor a tolerance of individuality which is fitting especially to a community devoted mainly to higher education? Not that the matter of organization is wholly without importance. One may or may not think that classes of medium size involve a certain waste, and that on the one hand good lecturers might profitably teach to larger audiences, while on the other certain kinds of instruction could better be done in small classes that would allow for more than we have of individual or group seminar methods. The latter—common American ways of education that are—possibly cannot be doing anything more of the graduate atmosphere than the graduate years of the university, with the degree of specialization characteristic of the strictly graduate point of view. This, at any rate, would accord with the thought that higher education is a mutual enterprise in which all, each as both teacher and pupil—though admittedly in different degree—seek to profit from each other, together, and with themselves. Each is an individual esteemed for what he tries to be. Each has his own way of finding and revealing something both true and in some sense new. May we "respect the pupil""—W.S.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The proposal to give Bontonh of Princeton a share in the 1500-meter world's record with Glenn Cunningham is a hurdle example of poor sportsmanship and utter unfairness. It is about time that the East should realize that Cunningham is superior to any Bonton, Venkase, or any other runner. However, this matter of giving Bontonh a share in a world's record in a race which Cunningham clearly won by a full stride is what burns me up, and judging from today's Kansan, is burning several other fans up, also.
The statement of Ferris of the American Amateur Union that the race was practically a dead heat is ridiculous. Mr. Ferris and some other biased easterners better buy some strong spectacles. The report from eastern papers that the crowd was uncertain as to the winner is pure bunk. The radio announcer did not hesitate a second in naming Cunningham as the victor.
If Bonthron accepts a share in the world's record, then he is truly no sportsmaster of the higher caliber that we desire out here for the Kansas Relays, and perhaps it is just as well if such type of athletes stay away. Such a practice would be absurd, if applied, for example to the 100-yard dash. Only the winner holds the records in the 100-yard dash—otherwise about three or four would now be holding the world record jointly in that event. Why should not the winner of the 1500-meter run also be the sole record holder, Mr. Farris? One point of which I am positive is this: if the conditions were reversed, and Bonthron had won from Cunningham and set a new record, Bonthron alone would have unquestioned possession of the record and no such condition as this would have arisen.

W. S. G. A. COUNCIL:
The whole proposal is grossly unfair to Cunningham, but if he hasn't proven his superiority both as a runner and as a sportman to anything the East can produce, then nobody ever could. Glenn will not protest such an unfair ruling, but his friends are doing so, and no matter what the outcome may be, to the whole middle west and to Kansas in particular, Glenn Cunningham is the greatest miler the world has ever produced and is also the finest sportsman—one K.U. can well be proud of—K.S.
Twenty Years Ago

Mrs. Eustace Brown, newly elected adviser of women, made an appeal in chapel for the students to mix more freely than at present, and to become acquainted in a better fashion. She stated that the Board of Administration urged a more general social life among the students, and suggested that the upper floor of the gymnasium be used for dancing and the lower floors for other social purposes.
sisterly feeling toward 1508 of the young men, and the men a brotherly feeling toward 825 of the girls. We should realize that this University is a family affair."
The Tigers upset dopo and pulled a feather out of the Jayhawker's tail when they defeated Kansas 48 to 37 in a track meet between the two schools. In every run, the time was very close to the record for that particular event. Missouri won by chalking up firsts in the quarter mile and low hurdles, results show.
A record was established by Ray Edwards in the mile when he clips two-fifths of a second off the existing record. The Kansans had a definite edge on the i opponents until the end of the meet. Then a few Tiger surprises, such as Kanye and Kanye who were supposed to be sure to place first and second, in the low hurdles, turned the tide and caused the Jay-hawker defeat.
"Get started toward a permanent Union this year," was the advice given by members of the faculty to the student committee on building a Union. It was suggested that the council write to every University in the country which has a union and get the floor plans, or the idea.
Because of a possibility that the junior class might offer opposition to the discarding of freshman caps, it was decided at a meeting of the yearlings that the wearing of caps should continue, as has formerly been the custom. It was requested of the council, at this meeting, that the caps should be given dis-

...here it is in a nutshell
THERE are just about three common-sense questions to ask about pipe tobacco:
"First, is it made to smoke in a pipe?
"Does it have a pleasing flavor that leaves you hankering for more?
"I guess I've been smoking pipes for as many years as you've been born, and when it comes to pipe tobacco...here it is in a nutshell. Smoke Granger."
