Entered as second class officer, September 19, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1933 A WISE DECISION Many legislators were apparently misinformed last Friday afternoon in their discussion of the Delaney bill and the student activity plan now in use at the University. After debating all afternoon, however, the solons wisely decided to cast out the measure. A few of the facts not brought out in the legislature are: that the activity plan was approved by a popular vote of the students; that the activity plan is administered by the students; and that this year the student fees plus the activity ticket fee amount to 25 cents less than the student fees alone did last year. Mr. Delancy, the leader of the opposition to the activity plan, stated that the plan is un-American, that it tends to create an inferiority complex among the poor students. He also mentioned that "a delegation of well-dressed and well-agged men from the University came to Topeka to lobby against my bill, while the poor students were unable to retaliate." Mr. Delaney thus points to himself as a champion of the poor. Could it be possible that his bill to eliminate the activity plan from the University is a companion bill to the one he introduced a short time ago which would have appropriated $100,000 to the University for the purpose of hiring professional football players? Men are always ready to uphold equal rights for women when they can benefit from it. This was ill-illustrated in a breach of promise suit in which the jilted autor sued the wealthy widow. 'BOUT FACE! The announcement that University fraternities and sororites have reconsidered their earlier decision and will support the Homecoming stunt parade shows that they are not lacking in school spirit when sufficiently prodded. It is unfortunate that there is not some sort of a blue eagle award to give Greek letter houses who "do their part." The lethargy resulting when the University failed to produce a conference championship football team this year has had a depressing effect on student enthusiasm. Individuals as well as organizations were doubly depressed after the rude awakening from the Notre Dame game. Fraternities and sororites on the campus have it within their power to lead school spirit out of the dump of doodlrums. By such a simple means as participation in the stunt parade, student enthusiasm may start gathering momentum. Who knows but that the support given this co-operative plan may result in more school spirit at the University. A victory for the Pachacamac party and the Australian ballot were the results of the Freshman election held last week. The offices other than the presidency were won by good margins, but only four votes registered the difference between the two candidates for that office. It would have been virtually impossible to have detected this difference had the old system of electing by mass meeting been used. The campaign preceding the election was characterized on the whole by a lack of the mud-slinging that has been common in previous freshman elections. Only a few arguments were printed and distributed on the little pink, yellow and blue sheets and most of these dealt with a discussion as to which party was responsible for the introduction of the Australian ballot. Both parties claimed the credit, leaving everyone a little uncertain as to who really did originate it. The candidates were introduced on the sheets and their merits were given as well as their pictures, but attacks on individuals were in the background. Who did originate the ballot is a question of little importance now. That the ballot is here, and that it is a vast improvement over the former system are the significant facts. The winner this year is clearly the choice of the Freshman class, and not a few politicians and upper-classmen. Our idea of something in a nut-shell is a sophomore's assurance that he knows it all. STUDENT DIRECTORIES AND ACTIVITY BOOKS Many criticisms and antipathetical remarks have been voiced by students who were unable to secure student directories because they had forgotten their activity books. The average student who is uninformed or does not understand the plan of the activity book comes to the hasty conclusion that required presentation of his activity book in order to obtain a student directory is mere foolishness. This requirement is not just an unnecessary ceremony. The printing of the directory was paid for to a large extent by money received from activity book fees. For this reason it was felt that students or non-University members who had not contributed to the fund should not receive a directory. The Men's Student council and the W.S.G.A. are considering a bill at the present time which will make it unnecessary to have an activity book in order to secure a directory. If this bill is passed the directories will be available to any student without charge whether or not he has contributed to the expense of publishing the books. Our Contemporaries STURDY INDEPENDENCE To many people in the state, North Carolina's vote on the repeal amendment is a source of bitter disappointment. To others who sincerely oppose the return of legal liquor the action of the Old North State is most gratifying because has been argued pro and con for many years. It remains a consensus of opinion throughout the nation that the Eighteenth Amendment is a failure and must be disposed of. Under the leadership of President Rosevelt state after state signified their desire to strike this amendment from the constitution, and for a time it appeared that there would be no opposition. STURDY INDEPENDENCE The political sages, however, had not reckoned with the sturdy independence of North Carolina. They anticipated her falling in line at the bidding of Postmaster-General Farley—who appears to be in charge of having the states conform with the President's desires on the liquor question. This official, who is apparently not recovered from the elation of his present high position, has seen fit to go about the country telling how to vote on this question just how they shall vote on this question and are in this state too many people who think for themselves and who refuse to accept dictation from others and so Farley's binding remains undone. It was said that the question involved was one of states' rights and that North Carolina would go wet not because she wanted liquor, which she has always had in abundance, but because she would wish to govern herself in regard to the regulation of the liquor traffic.

LEWIS, Figure Chairman THE CURRENT SCREEN Broadway Through a Keyhole—Walter Winchell may be a successful columnist (although there is a good deal of heated argument on that point), but as a writer of scenarios he is mediocre. That is, if this show at the Varsity is a fair example of what he can do along that line. First, let us warn you that the title has nothing to do with the picture beyond the fact that Winchell's voice occasionally issues forth from a loud speaker. The action is all open and above board and you wouldn't have to resort to a keyhole to see any of it. Ladies appear in lingerie in several scenes, but you can see that without stooping to a keyhole. The story drags. It has to do with a racketeer who buys a night club to help out a schooldays friend, falls in love with her and in the end re-nounces his claims and helps a crooner marry her. manifestation of states' rights that has taken the diametrically opposite course. Rather than voting for repeal to maintain a vague theory, this state has voted against it to show the right of the nation will maintain the right as she sees it. The prohibition question is almost relegated to the background by the action of last Tuesday. The Eighteenth Amendment will be repealed beyond a shadow of a doubt and there had been no action planned to repeal the state dry laws regardless of how the nation should go. But every North Carolinian can pride himself on his state, a state that stood in the face of the stumped and refused to be moved. This state has demonstrated a greater right than the right to drink. She has shown the people of the United States that she is neither incapable nor afraid to act as she sees fit whether in the large majority or the small minority—Daily Tar Heel. Constance Cummings and Gregory Rattifo are the only ones who turn in passable performances. Paul Kelly is also a gangster, Russ Columbo is no actor. A few shots are worthy of mention. Cummings and Columbo do a song to together in grand style during guest night at a Miami hotel. A sudden burst of machine gun bullets at Kelly while Perhaps it is too much to expect of Hollywood to produce a college picture worthy of the name. Or perhaps it is too much to expect of American movie audiences to permit Hollywood to do so. At any rate, "The Sweetheart of Sigma Chi," now playing at the Patee, while better than the average run of college productions, still leaves a great deal to be desired. he is standing at a window of his apartment breaks up a exceedingly monotonous scene. Tedious is the word that would describe most of the continuity. The story is the old familiar one. The hero, in this case Buster Crabble of "Barzan" fame, adds to the glory of Alma Mater in a dramatic climax, and thereby wins the girl. A boat race replaces the customary football game. The action scenes of the racing scenes are handled with more skill than most movie gridiron shots. The picture is amusing, if you can manage not to take it seriously, and is to be recommended for others than members of the fraternity in the title. It is to be doubted that the weavers of the cross would enjoy the frivolity with which aforementioned cross is treated. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan : Editor Daily Kenson : It must be by K. U. we would most interference in football coaching expresses the sentiment felt by many students, townpeople, and other followers of K. U. teams, in spite of what the writer who calls himself "a football player" says. The ones who criticize the dual coaching system here are the ones who have been on the practice field or nearby during practice sessions and have seen what is going on. Regardless of what "the football player" who tried to defend the system says, something is certainly wrong with the coaching situation, and P.W. has simply put in print the opinion held by many of just where the trouble lies. Certainly with all the fine material on hand this fall, the team has made a mess of things this year. There is no excuse for such a showing, when the material is considered. Missouri has made a bad showing because of lack of material; K. U. has the material, but still has the unique record of not scoring in five games. Something is wrong somewhere, and unless the team wins some games and beats Missouri, well, there is going to be a real, righteous, howl about the athletic situation on Mt. Oread by alumni, students, and townpeople. Good work, P.W. You hit the nail on the head! Let Lindsey alone! Many Delegates Expected Twenty-Five High Schools AircaCy Registered for Conference Twenty-five schools have already sent in registration cards for the conference of High School Editors to be held here Friday and Saturday of this week.
