WAR DEBTS
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
William Hard, who spoke on the lecture course program Wednesday evening, is undoubtedly one of the most competent authorites on international affairs engaged in presenting opinions to American citizens today. He is known in the capitals of Europe as an international reporter, has been engaged by the National Broadcasting Company to analyze current events for its nation-wide audience, and is the author of books and many magazine articles.
Summed up, his opinion of the European war debt situation, as expressed in his discussion, is that the United States government had better take what it can get and let the matter drop. To press the matter, even for the half of the original amount of the debts which we are now trying to obtain, would most likely result in complete defaulting of debts by the nation involved.
By all of the codes of honor, ethics, or international behaviour we have every right to feel the most indemnity at their deceit. They are paying several times as much for armaments as the amount of their debts to us. But they are not paying us. We cannot force them to do so. We may as well take what we can get.
GURGLE GURGLE
Five hundred thousand dollars in revenue will come pouring into the coffers of the United States if beer is legalized. This is the claim made by supporters of the wet cause. They are proceeding on the assumption that all the consumers of beer will give up making beer for three cents a bottle to buy a weaker product for fifteen cents.
This is one tax, shouted a New York Congressman, that the people will gladly pay. In his estimation, the people would do almost anything to get a glass of real beer. We doubt the correctness of the New Yorker's figures. It is now too easy to run off a batch of home brew.
For approximately ninety cents the amateur brew master can produce five gallons of beer. Five gallons of the government taxed beer proposed under the modification of the Volstol act would cost the beer lover $7.50. We wonder how many of the drinkers will quit making their own and start drinking the government's beer.
No doubt lots of the new beer will be sold in the first few months. We are willing to wager, however, that the conscientious drinker will go back to the home product very soon. We shall then have legalized beer, but the disappointed public will be shouting for something stronger.
AMERICANS AND MONEY
Perhaps the people across the Atlantic are right when they describe an American as a "money-grabber." The majority of the people in this section of the continent are not seriously threatened with death by starvation; worms are mainly concerned with the getting of money—money to pay taxes on large tracts of land,
money to pay interest on borrowed capital, money to drive automobiles.
Although it seems absolutely impossible and improbable, perhaps the economist who had an article in the last issue of one of the nation's best magazines was right when he said that the only solution for all the unhappiness and strife of today was for the country to go backward to the times of barter and trade. Other economists, whose opinions are more readily accepted, are more optimistic as to the outcome of the present crisis, and contend that we have gone through the worst part of the depression and are starting on the long, hard upward climb.
One student in philosophizing on the subject says, "We of the younger generation are fortunate in forming our life habits during such a time; we may learn to be appreciative of other things besides money."
What a time for the local police to make a haul of a hundred gallons of alcohol; just before the peace officers' convention!
HOW TO REMEDY IT?
All unhappiness in this world is found in three divisions; mental, moral and physical. Every form of human suffering or unhappiness will be found under one of these headings. The theologians will tell you that there is no possibility of escaping suffering in some form in this world; that you must pass on to a reward in the life that comes after death.
Efforts to eliminate this cause of suffering have been made from the time the first creature walked this earth up until this minute, without any noticeable result. "If it isn't one thing, it's another."
Concerted action by any group to eliminate unhappiness is foolish. Individuals, seeking happiness for themselves and happiness for others insofar as it lies in their power to provide it, will come nearer achieving the objective. Selfishness, a number of great thinkers have told us, lies at the root of all evil. Surcause from pain, practically anyone will any, is the greatest blessing one can receive. Yet it is impossible to achieve because human nature endows us with a bit of cruelty, the pursuit of complete happiness, nevertheless, is a never-ending quest that makes life worth living for us all.
The thoughtful freshman says it's an unwarranted slur for the authorities to move the "stiff" room so close to the library.
SOCIAL TOLERANCE
Thomas Paine, the dominating writer of the Revolutionary period, is remembered by students of American literature and history as an ardent apostle of liberty. But, at the time of his death, many persons ignored his services along this line and emphasized the fact that he was an aggressive atheist. Although he was born and reared a Quaker, that church refused to allow his burial in a Quaker cemetery.
The nation has made great progress since then, say some optimists as they point out that today religion is largely a matter of private taste and preference and not of public concern. "Atheism" is fast becoming as obsolete as a word of derision and conceive as "heresy" became after the Middle Ages. Religious tolerance, however, has not been accompanied by a similar liberty in other phases of social life. Much of the world still shies at the mention of socialism, trade unions, government regulation of industry, birth control, marriage vows, and so forth. We are as intolerant today in our social and economic relations as our ancestors of a century and more age were in religion.
The world will be on the road to true liberty when it realizes that the present order of things is neither standardized nor final, that tolerance is a basis essential to the acquisition of factual knowledge and correct opinions.

Curious Relies Are Included in Collections in Dyche Museum
MURIEL WILLIAMS, Chairman, Ways and Means Committee
Those who have never ventured as far as the third floor of Dyche museum, and who are now at least temporarily barred from doing so, have missed viewing a collection which is no priceless that no monetary value can be placed on it. Rare and even unique fossils have been placed there, as well as numerous curiosities of other times and civilizations. The most valued item of the fossil exhibit is the bird with牙, a relic of the Cretaceous period of evolution. This curious fowl whose bones were discovered in Logan county may be found in the last. Presence of feathers and scales will be seen on its leg bones.
The Indian exhibit includes arrowheads, pottery, baskets, beads, rugs, clothing and even a birch bark canoe. The exhibition of weapons included the rifle carried by Governor Charles Robinson during the Quanillar riffle of 1863, a collection from the Philippine Islands, early rifles decorated with German silver and tools for fashioning muskets, and rifles used in the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimack ships in the Civil war, and finally an extensive collection of paraphanial and guns of the more recent World War.
Another curiosity of the exhibit is the three-toed horse which was found in Oregon in 1907 by W. J. Baur-partner of the department of zoology at the University of Idaho, old and is one of the rare specimens forming a link between the five-toed and the present single-toed horse. The four principle ages in the evolution of the horse showing the gradual decrease in size are included in the museum fossils.
Second in value comes the 20,000 year old bison occidentalis with an arrowhead apparently of human design under the right sepulpa. The most complete skeleton of a Plesiosaur ever mounted is included in the fossil exhibit. It was of the long necked division cf the plesiosaur family, a group of extinct marine reptiles somewhat related to sea turtles. A model of the plesiosaur is included in the collection of colored photograph restorations which Sidney Prentice of Carnegie museum has called the best in the world.
Scattered about among the curiosities are exhibits from the Arctic region. Indian exhibits, pioneer relics and relics of pioneer-Indian wars, the Civil war, and the World war. In the Artie exhibit is a kayak, a skelinat boat covered over the top with only a small hole for airflow. A waterproof hunting coat is also shown which was fashioned from split seal intestines with sinuses.
Probably the most awe-inspiring of the fossil remains is the 570 pound petrified femur of the amphibious dinosaur brownsaurus, of whose estimated weight is 180,000 pounds. A small color photograph of a model skeleton of this dinosaur has albined bone pointed out in relation to the rest of the animal. Other interesting fossils are the pteranodon, the largest flying reptile, with a wing-spread of 18 feet; the largest living crustacean with the exception of the cuttlefish, a 12 foot wide Japanese crab, which has a pair of eyes exhibited of 28 species of antelope skulls, the rarest of which is the sub-guttorosa ovella or palms antelope.
The Campus Pest
Before a library ruling delivered the crushing blow he used to approach the reference desk with a list of books as long as the librarian's arm. I say the librarian's arm because it was that worthy who used to come tootling out of the stacks with an armful of reference books. The pest in question would then tote them to a favorite table and proceed to study one while on the table, or sit up on the table; unused it is true but completely in his possession.
The new ruling restricted his power and destroyed for him the pleasure of a study environment surrounded by all the reference books in the particular course plus he withdrew. Now the periodical room is his particular field of action. The depleted news tables were filled with individual readers, it merely means that as a sop to his pride he is reading three papers at once.
Immaculata Club Meets
Father Hoffman Speaks to New Organi- zation on: "Creation of the World"
The creation of the world was explained by the Rev. Father Michael T. Hoffman, pastor of Saint John's Catholic church, to members of the Immaculate club organization of Caboose Wednesday night for the second time.
A discussion and questions followed the talk. After a short business meeting refreshments were served, and the club adjourned to meet socially next Tuesday at 7:30 in the parish hall of Saint John's Catholic church.
Jo Ann Gristedue, c"34. "This telling us that we must do this, and we must do that is something we do not even get at home; why should it be necessary to draw chalk lines for us in calisthenics and could enough to look out for ourselves."
"Cause and effect is the law of life. There must be a cause for every effect, and no one can explain how the world came into existence without admitting God," the speaker said. "Even those who believe that the world was formerly a whirling ball of gas, and that all life was originally one protoplasm, cannot explain where that ball of gas originated." The world would rather accept creation as directly through the power of God to say, "I don't know," he declared.
Students Give Opinions About Closing Hour Rule
privileges as the boys. Let the girls stay out late or make the boys go in at 10:30 p.m. "too."
Lon Robinson, c'and—"I am of the opinion that the girls are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves when they reach college."
Castella Childers, c36—"Why should they be more strict with the girls than they are with the boys? Why should we be made to in at 10:38 p.m., and the boys go in whenever they wish?" Evangeline Clark, c35—"I think that all the girls should wear a tie." "I believe in a single standard. If the boys are allowed to stay out late, we should be permitted to do the same."
(Continued from page 1)
Raleigh Macnick, e33,"Why have closing hours? The girls come in when they feel like it. University students usually enough to know to come in."
Mabel Spindler, "c35—" it think it is perfectly silly to have a rule like that. They treat us as if we were more informed about themselves now, they never will."
John La Deux, "343—I do not see why the girls should be treated as though they were infants and must be home at a certain hour."
Cleta Shepherd, c23—If our own mothers trust us to take care of ourselves, why should a college have rules such as the 10.30 p.m. closing hour

Roslyn Cragman, fa 35:"The 10.30 p.m. closing hour rule is very foolish, and to close the house to boys after 8 p.m. is even more foolish."
