ALL ABOARD!
All aboard for Lawrence, Topeka, Emporia and points we-eh-es-st! The Pachacamac-Oread-Kayhawk express is all ready to pull out and carry with it a howling mob of freshmen, each with an Australian ballot in his hand.
Of course, railroading is made more difficult now that every one must have a "ticket."
Freshman elections, when all is said and done, are really a lot of noise and synthetic excitement which doesn't mean anything in the end. The officers elected get some free publicity which puts them in a good position to receive future political plums, but their immediate contribution to the class and the school is practically nil. But the political parties think it is a feather in their cap if they can "win" a freshman election and so they whoop it up. Well, we can stand it if we must.
A question is beginning to rise as to how much of the new deal consists in pulling them off the bottom of the deck.
CHRISTMAS SEALS—OUR CHANCE TO HELP
On Thanksgiving day the campaign for the sale of Christmas seals begins. This year, as in past years, a direct appeal will be made to the students of the University by a student organization, under the auspices of the Douglas County Tuberculosis association. This association it is that maintains tuberculosis clinics each month in Lawrence with Dr. C. F. Taylor, superintendent of the State Sanitorium for Tuberculosis at Norton, who is recognized as an expert diagnostician.
University students have the privilege of attending these clinics, as well as the two special ones which are provided at the University each year. In addition to this, the Douglas County Tuberculosis association provides tuberculin serum for cases in which there may be some indication of tuberculosis, or for students who desire the test as a check on their health.
At the special clinic held last year at Watkins Memorial hospital, twenty students and four contact patients were given a complete chest examination.
Of the 120 tuberculin tests, last year, the positive reactors were given X-ray examinations and are being checked for any possible developments. This year, as a part of the physical examination for new students, 300 tests were given. Of these, 65 positive reactions were found. This does not necessarily mean that these 65 persons have active cases of tuberculosis, but it is possible that they may be suspects, and they may avail themselves of the advantages provided through the sale of Christmas seals for checking this possibility.
The campaign will last from Thanksgiving until Christmas. In view of the fact that the advantages derived from the sale of the seals are available to every student in the University, an effort
will be made to encourage every student to make at least some contribution rather than asking a few to buy large quantities of seals.
If students fail to do their part in the seals drive they are really sponging on the public, for the clinics and other services made possible through sale of the seals are just as much for the benefit of people at the University as for other citizens. Students are not too young to participate in community enterprises.
MOVIE TRAVELOGUE
IN PERSON
Two or three years ago the entertainment provided by Burton Holmes and his travel pictures would have been enthusiastically received by a University audience. With the popularization of the talkies, however, travelogues have become a minor part of an ordinary movie "bill." For that reason many people found the lecture last night rather boring.
It is unfortunate that the size of the auditorium made it impossible for Mr. Holmes to show the rest of his pictures, since he may have some really unusual slides. As it was, many members of his audience felt, most of the time, that they were at a show watching and listening to a Burton Holmes travelogue.
The only difference was that the entertainment lasted longer than the usual travel "short" and that the sound effects on the talkies are usually better synchronized.
A SICK TIGER
Tammany Hall, one of the most famous political organizations in the United States, received its most bitter defeat since 1913 yesterday when Florio La Guardia won the election for mayor of New York City. This defeat of Tammany is a victory against corruption and graft in municipal government and may be the beginning of new methods in local as well as national politics.
During the reign of "prosperity" and just before the stock market crash, Tammy was taking in money so rapidly that even its own chiefs did not realize the effect of the gouging. With the depression this began to undermine the members themselves and was one of the main factors in Tammy's defeat.
Although the depression has brought much misery it has been the underlying cause of the defeat of many corrupt and dishonest individuals and organizations of which Tammany is only one example.
Our Contemporaries
Freedom and Education
The most sincere advocate of democracy must admit that as a form of political organization it has sometimes failed to meet expectations, especially in countries with populations that have little or no experience in self-government. Even in our own country the conflict of selfish interests has put such a strain upon democracy that modification of a found formula necessary. But though made under the pressure of necessity, they were at least worked out naturally and not as the result of army coercion, whether the army were official or unofficial.
The domain of freedom is being steadily narrowed. Freedom has hitherto usually found residence in a democracy. The war which was to have made the world "safe for democracy" failed of that purpose, as of so many others. More and more, nations are supplanting democracy with dictatorship in which freedom has little, if any place, dictatorships may have been made; economic disorganization, economic depression or political chaos. Material conditions may have benefited by the change. But almost inevitably the life of the spirit has suffered. The belief in the unlimited value of human personality disappears and the individual counts for less and less in the affairs of men.
to object because they do not like it. But it is reasonable to deploy an action anywhere that may be absolutely destructive of gains in human progress that have been made only by great sacrifice. Freedom of teaching is one such gain. Everyone familiar with the history of intellectual development knows

OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
Thursday, Nov. 9, 1933
From Miss Lawson's statements it is apparent that the administration gave the councils a choice of inferior seats. Students are forced to buy tickets wherever they may sit, and the best seats are saved for those who have the privilege of deciding whether they want to buy or not and who are more likely to contribute if they get good seats. So even if this plan is a student plan, why not attack the administration for its application, even though last Sunday's champion of pro-compulsion objects?
As to the plan itself, even the pre-compulsionists don't claim anything like a unanimous preference for it by the students. And whether a majority

Please try to get somebody who favors the present status of the compulsory activity ticket to meet the issues. A letter printed last Sunday stated that we who oppose the plan as it is now applied shouldn't attack the administration because the plan is a student plan. Miss Lawson also for compulsory classes had said she would given choice of seats on the courts west side 30-yard line or east side 50-yard line, and unfortunately, chose the latter.

Without freedom of research and without freedom to diffuse through teaching the results of research there can be no intellectual progress. Without freedom to speculate upon human affairs some of the noblest virtues that
Stephen Duggan
have been given to mankind would have died with their seers. No sadder spectacle can be found than that of a university teacher who does not give expression to his real views on the subject of his lecture because of governmental orders. His distress can be matched only by the fear his students have to ask the questions they want answered, fear that they will be reported as not good "patriots."
This sprawling democracy of ours presents aspects that are repulsive to a sensitive spirit. But in respect to freedom of teaching its record is good. Anyone can point to individual cases to the contrary, but an attack upon freedom of teaching along the whole line has never been made. Our situation is not without danger, however. Frequently are demands made by influential groups to curb freedom of teaching because of statements made by pro-Fascism of various colors and communities which have influenced some of our people. Biologies are inimical to freedom. This is an appeal to the teachers and students of our universities who may be impressed by the benefits that undoubtedly exist in the fascist and communist states not to forget the price that has been paid for freedom to teach and freedom to learn.
voted it in or not, I say that forcing even one individual to buy something he doesn't want (even though he be a millionaire) to benefit all the rest of
the student body is intolerable at a state institution of learning, unless we frankly list football, wrestling and track as curricula, and curricula for which all must enroll. That is really what we have done. A prerequisite to now four-year courses in football, wrestling, track, concerts, dehates, lectures, pool, bridge, dancing and ping-pong.
Very truly yours,

Nobody says anything to indicate he understands the drift, nobody does anything to stop the drift to the abyss. Students might start a reaction against the windanda-but perhaps they regard the tautness only as a sure escape from finals.
