Entered as second class matter, September 19, 1810; at the second class lawroom, Kansas WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1933 NOT THE ANSWER Once again the treatment of the Negro on the University campus has been brought into the spotlight as a real and vital problem in the life of Kansas. A proposal has been made in the state legislature to investigate charges of discrimination against Negroes at the University. The resolution introduced mentions participation in intercollegiate athletics and R. O. T, C., admission to the School of Medicine, use of the Swimming pool, and several other advantages which the author feels should be granted impartially to students of all races at a state institution. It cannot be denied that Negro students are handicapped at the University — as elsewhere — in their efforts to obtain a broader view of education by participation in various forms of extra-curricular activities. Many fields of endeavor on the campus are closed to them, not by written law, but by firm and unyielding custom—a wall stronger than any of stone or brick. But race prejudice cannot easily be overcome by legislation. The students of this or any other University or social group cannot be forced by law into granting to Negro students the many rights, privileges and courtesies that the whites claim as inherent in themselves. While the problem attacked in the legislature is a real one, demanding a just and immediate solution, it is not one which lends itself readily to solution by law. Only students themselves may really remedy a condition on the campus brought about by race prejudice. They and they alone possess the power to bring about a change of attitude so fundamental and far-reaching. Legislation cannot supply a very satisfactory solution. The next time a disarmament conference is organized, we suggest that it take up the matter of "shotguns." FOOTBALL DAYLIGHT SAVING Starting the Thanksgiving day game at 1 o'clock has drawn some adverse criticism from students who object to the game beginning an hour earlier than has been customary. These students fail to consider that this is the "Homecoming" game, intended primarily for the old grads and other visitors who will be here for the classic. For them, the earlier starting time offers many advantages. The game will be over by 3:30 or a little later, and thousands of football fans can return home in time for the holiday dinner in the evening. Even if the game began at 2, those who wanted to eat a noon Thanksgiving dinner would not have time to get to the stadium. Anyone who has picked a precarious way through the early evening traffic on any of the main roads around Lawrence after a football game will realize what an aid to safety the earlier starting time will be. It is dangerous enough to drive in heavy traffic without the added handicaps of darkness and a rush to reach home early. Although this is the first time a game has been opened here at 1 o'clock, among the eastern schools it is not unusual for the contests to be staged in the morning. One of the biggest of the eastern games will be played Thanksgiving day, starting at 10 o'clock in the morning. GET RID OF THEM MAYBE? A bad cold. Something every one has had probably many times in his lifetime and probably several times since school started this fall. Colds are contracted in spite of almost anything anyone can do, and usually must run their course of a week or more before they are finally cured. Winter is approaching and it is by far the most dangerous season for the contraction of a cold. The cold many times leads to pneumonia and other serious diseases, all of which are, to say the least, very uncomfortable and many times fatal. The University hospital has recently opened a campaign to stamp out some of the causes of this disease and has issued a call for volunteer experimenters. A new gargle has been prepared to give each volunteer; after several weeks of trial, a check-up will be made to determine the value of the experiment. The students have everything to gain and nothing to lose by offering themselves to be experimented on. If the experiment works a long-sought-for preventative will be theirs. If it fails nothing will be lost, with the possible exception of a few minutes time. It is a worth while cause and deserves co-operation. COMING BACK HOME That college education is important to homemaking, was a conclusion reached at the New York State Federation of Women's clubs last week, according to the New York Times. By figures, it was shown that a higher percentage of college women than of those without such educational advantages marry, build homes, and rear children. Propagandizing a suggestion made at the convention for a "back to the home" movement, the modern attitude of women toward "learning for earning" as a goal was decried, and "learning for serving" was urged to supplant it. A prediction was made that woman will soon return from the many fields of enterprise outside of the home that she has entered the last decade.. But she will not return to the same position she left, it was pointed out, for she will bring with her every labor-saving device of the outside sphere where she has experimented, thus enabling her to give more time to cultural development. These conclusions and predictions of the Federation are significant in the obvious change they show of woman's attitude toward her place in the world. It is true that they represent the attitude of only a small and select group, but with the knowledge that such minds rule the masses, it is not too much to trust that another decade will find many of these predictions being fulfilled.

Memorial Union. That it is necessary to resort to such tactics to hold the attention of students is not the reflection on the quality of teaching. For instance, if the students that it might seem at first. If he employs one or several of these tactics in your class today, he may not be just another eccentric; he may only be applying a psychological trick he learned in the new faculty school on the campus, in an effort to keep you from dozing. . . . DOWDAL H. DAVIS, Vice President. The ideal situation, of course, would be that in which the material lectured upon is so bright and the students so alert to the problems that no stage effects would be necessary to keep back the yawns. The trend toward popularizing and sugar-coating ideas for democratic consumption has long been practiced especially by the newspapers. The theory of several decades ago that the more interesting and uninteresting lectures to be truly "educative" in the high brow sense is in discard. Lectures, and for that matter our whole educational system, should not in the majority of courses attempt to hand out absolute knowledge and facts, that will soon be refuted by a new scientist or philosopher anyway. Rather they should awaken curiosity and discussion so the students will seek to know and ask, "Why?", under professorial guidance. The fact absorbing student will find himself lost in the changing, shifting world of ideas when he is graduated, unless he has learned to think. Our professors must be more than lecturers. They must be actors and players with their eyes on the audience. As long as they have something to say and don't detract from the subject matter with their grandstanding, the psychological tricks are all to the good. If our professors have to stand on their heads to get attention and make students think, it is worthwhile.—Uni- Sweep Out Requirements Sweep Out Requirements The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts is confronted these days with a pressing problem: revision of require-ments for teaching of "CYO MUS" has been tried and failed. Pouring the caster oil of education down the unwilling threats of students has failed. Realizing that, a good part of the faculty has concerned itself with modifying some and discarding others of the requirements. It has arrived at the conclusion that required courses do not necessarily make an educated man, but instead may prevent him from becoming one. Perhaps the problem of requirements can be approached more clearly if we ask, "What are requirements for anyway?" Are requirements to assure the faculty that the student will not take too many "snap" courses? If they are, then Are they to insure the university's reputation in the community? It is sometimes maintained that the university before it grants its degree must be assured that the student has taken the "right" kind of courses in order that the student will take its five name will be preserved. But today, Ph.D.s who had taken required courses in their college days have disproved this assertion. y we suggest that the faculty weed out "snap" courses? It is ridiculous to cover a weakness with an evil. What, then, are these requirements for? We have not met any answer that will satisfy. Requirements are hangovers, vestiges resulting from a lag in educational evolution. They stand on a discarded hypothesis that courses numbered and listed in a catalog can, if taken by a student, transform that student into an educated man. Pull out that time-rotten assumption and the argument for requirements crashes down.
