Single copies, or both. posted as the second class matter, September 17, 1910; at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1933 AN UNFAIR MISQUOTATION Last Wednesday the following statement appeared in the Kansan in an editorial entitled "Not the Answer," which dealt with the Blount resolution in the state legislature: "The resolution introduced mentions participation in intercollegiate athletics and R.O.T.C., admission to the School of Medicine, and several other advantages which the author feels should be granted impartially to students of all races at a state institution." A Kansas City newspaper, in a signed story under a Friday, Lawrence dateline, declared that "ire of white students at the University of Kansas has been aroused" by the resolution, and that the Kansan had "fanned resentment by saying that 'use of the swimming pool and several other advantages should be granted impartially to all students at a state institution.'" The fact that the Kansan was misquoted, and unfairly represented by being credited with a statement it did not make might be of little moment to the metropolitan press, but the Kansan attaches some slight importance to that fact. It is hard to believe, in view of the circumstances, that the writer of the story was trying to present the fair and accurate picture of the situation at the University that good journalism would demand. The following letter, came unsolicited to the Kansan yesterday from an alumnus of the University: The race question on the campus is a vital one. The whole point of the editorial garbled by misquotation was that the solution to the problem lay not in legislation, but in the attitude of the student body. Whether or not it may actually hold such an opinion, the Kansan did not state in the editorial that the advantages listed should be granted impartially to all students. It merely credited the author of the resolution in the legislature with having expressed such views. Kansas City, Kansas Nov. 24.1933 Editor Daily Kansas: Lawrence, Kansas Just to make certain this clipping does not escape your attention—probably there is no danger in that—I am sending it along with the word that you just wrote. It is obvious and easily recognize injustice has been done you and the paper. The Journal-Post quotes you as saying that "Negro students should be allowed to use the swimming pool" a matter which you may or may not believe, but which you did not say, and that "resentment" is all stirred up on the campus. I have no way of knowing, of course, but my suspicion is that the resentment is all in the correspondent's somewhat hardpressed imagination. Your editorial was thoroughly fair and an accurate summary of the status as we all know it to be after having been on the campus. And the conclusion is sound. If you had stated what the J-P attributes you with having said, even though you believed it, would have served no good purpose, would have aroused "resentment" as the J-P says, and would have fanned prejudice instead of allaying it. That's the way with prejudice. The J-P has done you a rank injustice by robbing you of credit for a fair statement and by attributing you with the rash statement of a crank. I hope you make a fittingly emphatic reply to this injustice. With best regards, William Daugherty,'30 The Bible mentions that the world will come to an end when all the Jews return to Jerusalem. Hit- temptation isn't afraid of the hereafter. The debut of the "Gale" on the campus tomorrow will bring on to the modern stage the drama of whether or not a publication must appeal to the popular taste of its readers to be a successful endeavor. It is an old drama enacted frequently, but never as successfully as more than a half century ago by the famous journalist Godkin with his "Nation." A SWEEPING GALE? In its field, which is smaller than that of popular literature, the "Gale," nevertheless, fills a greater need as well as promising to produce a more worthwhile product. For this magazine will be composed of creations which art rather than popular demand compelled the creators to make. It is hoped that, like the Nation of old, the Gale may, with a force of originality and freshness, sweep over the campus tomorrow with a success that will assure its continued publication. We haven't heard of any college students being arrested for boarding gold. THE STARRY HEAVENS The glimmering crown that rests on the brow of Mt. Oread at night is a constant source of pleasure to those who view it from the valley or the distant hills encircled it. But the brilliant crown of Mt. Oread has been dimmed by the quieter but the more majestically beautiful display that the heavens have uncovered to the human eye the last few weeks. Long before the shadowed mantle of evening has reached the western horizon, aflame with a line of fire that resembles the fire line of a burning forest, Venus begins to shimmer through the fading light of day. Like a flickering Christmas candle, the planet brightens as evening stills each breeze. Then, too, the moon in its crescent form begins to brighten palely from its mid-position in the sky. As its illumination deepens to golden, and the sky thickens in darkness, it seems to hang heavily from its crescent points, which grow blunter each night. When the mantle of night has tucked itself in on every side multitudinous stars are revealed glistening in the vast dark arch of the heavens overhead. To a student of the sky, these bits of flickering lights yield to significant and familiar formations — Orion, the Seven Sisters, the Dippers, the Bears, and others. The glimmering crown that rests on Mt. Oread at night creates a thrill of pleasure in the beholder, but before the sublimity of the over-crowning heavens, the beholder stands ennobled, in awet-struck silence. A visitor at the mid-week varsity the other night said that the problem was not so much knowing how to dance but being able to escape.

Sprout, president of the University of California. Professor Hepkins was explaining a method of choosing books to review which his class used when the library was located in Fraser hall. Each student would take the consecutive books on the shelf of new books until all had been taken. When asked why the plan was not followed now, he said "Well, the plan worked fine until one day a student ricked a Siamese dictionary." PLAIN TALES from the HILL Our Contemporaries There will be a meeting at 4 o'clock tomorrow, in room 217. Administrative building. WINONA VENARD, President. Discovery by a member of the University chemistry faculty, O.F. Stafford—K.U. '00, that acetamide is a more effective solvent than any other known to science, and the acclaim with which the discovery is hailed by the scientific are reminders that the imparting of knowledge is a vital part of university's service to society. The other portion is the creation of new knowledge. The class in Urban Sociology had grown accustomed to expect a test every Friday. Last Friday they came trooping in to find the professor writing on the board "No test to-day." They heaved a sigh of relief, but when he wrote "or next Friday," one husky waiter pulled himself up and whispered his breath before he muttered audibly, "What's the matter Prof, this your birthday?" Editor's note—The following is an editorial from the Oregon Daily Emerald concerning a discovery made by Professor O.F. Stafford, who was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1900; and is now head of the University of Oregon department of chemistry. Miss Gardner requests of her students, "If you must mis-spell a word, do it so that I can get a little fun out of it." RESEARCH *** contribution to human knowledge, and we suddenly realize that research is being carried on here, despite the fact that legislative action has reduced the University's appropriation to the barest minimum. A research budget, as such, is almost nil, and it is all the more to the credit of such distinguished faculty members as Dr. Stuffard that the research they do must be carried on at the expense of sleep or leisure. Increased teaching loads and larger classes have made independent research almost impossible. But when a legislature starts cutting budgets, colleges and universities are among the first to go under the knife—and when colleges and universities, ordered to make drastic retrenchments, obediently start eliminating "trimming," research seems readily classifiable in that category. A legislature soon to convene will probably start its operations by probing a speculative finger into the wasted educational budget. In so doing the legislators may have a few qualms at hindering the best educational development of Oregon's youth but it is not that they will pause to consider the social significance halt the research machinery upon which to a large extent civil, industrial and social progress depend. —Oregon Daily Emerald.
