FUNDS FOR THE LIBRARY
The announcement that the library would close an hour earlier owing to lack of funds, and the story concerning the CWA money for the University both appeared in yesterday's Kansan.
It seems somewhat inconsistent that the library should be forced to reeneh with the CWA funds available. According to the announcement of the grant, some of the money could be used for library work; the only prohibited expenditure would be for "actual classroom instruction."
When Mr. Baker, director of the library, succeeded in solving the situation last fall so that 10 o'clock could remain the closing time, many students were sincerely grateful. Now, the same condition again arises.
If the CWA funds can be made available for the library, the money could not be put to better use. Undergraduates who are not required to spend much time in the library may perhaps wonder about the importance one hour's difference in closing time, but to those who frequently study there, the question is serious.
When the CWA students are selected and assigned to the various campus projects, and all points concerning their employment are clarified, the consensus is that the library may be able to return to the old schedule of closing at 10 o'clock.
Examination grades prove one thing—you were right in thinking you should have studied more.
BETWEEN SEMESTERS
In an effort to prevent a jam such as occurred at the checkroom after the Freshman Frolic, the management of the Memorial Union arranged for checking of coats and hats in the cafeteria room for the Sophomore Hop Tuesday night. In doing so, the manager stepped from the frying pan into the fire. After the party, a mob of pig-headed students jammed on the small stair landing, crushed one another, ruined the press in many coats and trousers, broke glass out of the cafeteria doors, and behaved like a bunch of porkers at a trough. The Union management may not be entirely blameless in the set-up of checking facilities, but the students were really at fault; and it is to be hoped that there will be no more such displays.
While on the subject of the Memorial Union, mention of the newly decorated ballroom is most decidedly in order. So magnificent was the setting, it took most of the students at the party until intermission time to get themselves adjusted to it. Even the people looked different. When the new lighting system is installed, the ballroom will be the best in this part of the country.
France has broken out with a Cuban rash. While we are concerned with a rather hectic two-day enrollment period, Paris is in the throes of a possible revolution. Incidents of this sort bring
to mind other mob activities, in our own country as well as in those across the oceans; and lead us to wonder quite seriously whether Darwin may not have been right after all.
"People Thought I Was a Fool at Times,' says Owner of Millions"—sub head in the Kansas City Star. Which is reminiscent of the old saying: "It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than 'o speak and remove all doubt."
Twenty Years Ago
(Feb. 3-6,1914) George Lerrigo
The idea of using your pal's enterprise ticket, and getting caught, didn't seem to originate this year. W. O. Hamilton has issued a statement to the Daily Kansas saying that anyone using a ticket which is not his own will not be allowed to enter the game. Ticket takers have been warned to increase their vigilance in this matter, and check the names.
"You are defeating the purpose of the enterprise ticket," he says, "and are also perjuring yourself in the bargain."
The pool-hall palookas are going to have to find another place to loaf. By a vote of six to four the city council passed an ordinance which was to put the pool holes in Lawrence out of business, Jan. 1, 1915. The action was taken because of the alleged undesirability of the pool hall and the fact that high school boys choose this place for a hang-out.
The Student Union became a definite success when the Alumni association voted a $500 loan to put it across. Everything is ready for student membership now, and the students will have to pay running expenses and interest on the loan. Lists of furniture have been procured and bids are being made on this detail by several business men. Pamphlets will be distributed on the Hill explaining the project.
The faculty decided that they would not give out monthly grades to students desiring them any more. The reason is that it has a demoralizing effect on the student, for if he is doing well he is apt to let down in his work. Hereafter, the only monthly grades issued to the students will be unsatisfied, and then it will be up to the instructor to inform them of this fact.
Our Contemporaries
ARE OUR PROFESSORS PROPAGANDISTS?
The charge is being repeatedly made that professors at the University of Toronto are political propagandists, and to date the charge has been inadequately answered. The charge, of course, emanates from those who represent political or economic interests in conflict with the views entertained and the doctrines disseminated by members of the faculty. Were professors champions of the status quo, there would be no outcry.
It is an undeniable fact, however,
that many of the professors who deal
with economic, political, social and
religious subjects are exerting a profound
influence upon the minds of the students
at the University of Toronto, and
are moulding them pretty much after
one pattern. That pattern is socialistic.
Whether the greater part of the student
body would openly align itself with the C.C.F. or not, is a highly
baldess question; nevertheless, it is our conviction that most of the undergraduates at Toronto entertain socialistic sympathies of one kind or another. We base this belief upon the popularity and activity of the organizations on the campus with socialistic or Marxian flavour, such as the C.C.F. Club, the one time Fabius Society, the Friends of Soviet Russia, the Marxian Society, the Student League, the League for Social Reconstruction, and the Movement for a Christian Social Order as seen in the literature and conferences of the Student Christian Movement. Our conviction is deepened when we think of the popularity of professors with known socialistic principles in the departments of Sociology, Ethics, Economics, Political Science, and some theological faculties.
The Varsity deplores the wholesale education of youth in one frightfully circumscribed school of thought. To have young people look to socialism, or some phase of it, as the one solution of our problems is as intellectually disastrous and deadening as the dogmatism of a past generation. Frankly we can see no easy escape from this warped and stunted philosophy, for its tide threats to sweep all before it. But all students ought to realize that they are not all victims of socialism is a passing phase with this age, that it represents but a part and not the whole truth and for that reason can never afford an ultimate solution. Are the students of this University aware that they are being moulded by

But although our universities have been mainly responsible for the inculcation of socialistic ideas, it is utterly false to describe our professors as propagandists. "Propagadist" bears a nasty connotation which cannot be applied to the teaching staff at this University. A propagandist is one who, with little regard for the legitimacy of his ideas, deliberately seeks to convert others to his pet theories, or to his particular political creed. Back of his teaching, there lies an ulterior motive. Professors, as scientific investigators, are forced by the logic of thought and the logic of history to arrive at certain conclusions concerning society and its

Conference telephone service-a new telephone convenience-enables a number of people far apart to talk together as freely as though gathered around a table.
This fosters quicker interchange of ideas in business - saves time and money - expedites decisions. For example: an executive wishes to discuss plans with his district managers. His telephone is connected simultaneously with each of theirs - all can talk, all hear everything that is said!
Through constantly developing new uses, Bell System service grows more and more valuable.
