WHAT OF THE HONOR SYSTEM?
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1932
Believing the honor system to be a worthwhile project and one which is eminently important for the best interests of the University, the W.S.G.A. and Men's Student Council have undertaken to work out and put into effect a system whereby the honor code would become effective. In a joint meeting yesterday afternoon the councils made a thorough study of the subject as it is handled in various universities and colleges throughout the country. Although definite plans as to the manner of carrying out the scheme have not yet been published it is evident that, regardless of the system used, the success of the venture will depend upon the student body.
Do you as students want the honor system? Do you think the plan feasible? Let us have your comment on the honor system both through your conversations with other students and through the columns of the Kansan. The Councils are interested in hearing your viewpoint on the question. It is to be your honor system; not theirs.
CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
Jugo Slavia has decided to pray for prosperity in the United States. If only a few other countries would decide to pay us there would be more prosperity all around.
Plans have been outlined for the annual Christmas seal sales campaign to be conducted on the campus by members and graduate students of the department of sociology. Three hundred dollars worth of seals has been allotted to the University for sale this year. The receipts from the sales will go to the Douglas County Tuberculosis association for clinics and the services of an expert diagnostician.
A large number of students have been examined through these clinics in the past two years and a very worthwhile work has been carried on through the means of the Christmas seal sale. That this year's sale will not fall below that of the past years is the hope of University directors and students who are undertaking the sale. The Christmas sale has proved its worth in the years past. Because it is a charitable work it should be endorsed by all members of faculty and student body.
SLAVES
In the United States there are slaves of fashion, slaves of love, and slaves of money and of work, but in the Sahara the slaves are really those of bondage.
The slaves of the Sahara are considered on an equal par with livestock. They are kept in good health so that they will be an asset. They can gain their freedom only by paying for it, by learning to read the Koran, or by appealing to the nearest French post. Since they don't earn money they cannot pay for their freedom. They are also closely watched and if caught escaping are killed.
These slaves would easily have a job gaining their freedom, while Americans could gain theirs by exerting a little willpower.
IS THERE NO HONOR?
Amidst all the diplomatic scheming and political maneuvers that are accompanying an attempt at settlement of the international debt situation, one question arises that has never been satisfactorily answered. Granting the debts were undertaken with no thought of aught but fair play by the debtors, why do the debtors not come out clearly and simply with a statement that they recognize the debts, fully realize their obligations, will attempt to pay as soon as possible and then, in cold figures, show the United States just how they intend to pay?
Great Britain, alone of the nations which owe the United States, appears to feel an obligation to pay its debt on scheduled time. France appears reluctant to pay at any time. The current economic upheaval, it must be granted, has upset the financial plans of practically all nations. There is no doubt that a new agreement should be reached between the United States and its debtors.
But why the secrecy?
Why does not the Secretary of the Treasury demand a plan of payment from the nations who are balking?
It is a certainty that if the nations which owe us money fail to pay us, it will fall upon the taxayers of this country to retire the bonds floated during the World War and purchased by those same taxpayers. It will be a case of money passing from the left hand to the right.
IT'S TOO BAD WE RE SO HEALTHY
The increased activity and better health of the human race has been the downfall of the United States. Sixty or seventy years ago, when people attained the age of fifty or fifty-five they had finished their useless in life. The men retired from business and spent their time relating stories of their experiences. Their wives dined little lace caps and sat in the corner with folded hands. Their sons and daughters took over their jobs.
People today don't retire from business. They have good health. They are active. They would be restless if they did not have a job. As a result, their sons either work for them with a small salary or loaf. The younger people do not have to assume the responsibility of supporting the family. They can call on dad for help.
ARE WOMEN GODLESS?
A great many shortcomings have been ascribed to the members of the feminine sex during the long period of their existence, but perhaps none is as disillusioning as the latest one attributed to them by five New Orleans ministers. After an investigation of the status of student morsels at Tulane University, these ministers have decided that the average co-ed is more godless and indifferent than the ordinary college man who usually declares himself an atheist.
The decision comes as a olow to those of the fairer group who have always thought themselves the personification of virtue. True, the world's ardor for good old fashioned religion does seem to have cooled down slightly, but at the same time one hesitates to believe that it is the men rather than the women who have kept the idea of godliness alive.
Surely, the co-ed is not so indifferent as these investigators would lead one to believe. At least she pretends to be interested in the religion of her fathers, whereas the man often openly declares his distaste for a weakness that has, heretofore, been considered decidedly feminine.
Why, witness the records of church attendance—the women are invariably ahead. The men apparently come only upon special invitation or because they failed to get a date to the movie.

Apparently the University is a liberal educational institution. There is no so called 'gag rule enforced upon any of the members of the faculty. For this the school administration deserves special mention, with the best of the modern theories and ideals of education. Why then should the editorial policies of the only acceptable journal of student information. The University Daily Kansan, be curated in the scope and the manner prescribed by which it is permitted to deal?
Editor Daily Kansan:
As conditions now exist student writers on the Kanan are not at liberty to discuss the Athletic Board, the Administration, or Prohibition. In other words if an editorial writer does not write on the policies of the podium that be given to the athletic office he is denied the opportunity to place his views before the

temporarily alleviated by employing a large number of the "army" in the more or less nonproductive but opinion-provoking art of conferring the doubtful and transitory honor of "all-star" upon a privileged class of football athletes.
Every sports serise, every news sheet, large or small, takes this important task of conferring its own all-star laurels. Possibly the aforementioned amelioration of the employment situation and the added ego which it contributes to the athlete's make-up compensates for this activity. Anyway, like many other institutions in American life, the average person has come to tolerate and even enjoy this form of filling the columns of the newspaper.
Social-Henley House Committee of Y.W.C.A. will meet this evening at o'clock. The discussion of Personality will be continued. All members and any one interested in becoming a member of the group are cordially invited.

HIS TEN TALENTS
Enriquez Hawworth died in Wichita, the other day after forty years of service to this state. He died a poor man compared with the thousands whom he enriched. He was a geologist. His knowledge of structures helped hundreds of oil men to locate the black oil deposits. He also became a geologist employed by the state university, he first gave the world the tip that Kansas was underbid with unimagined wealth. He went out to prospect for himself and, for one reason or another, failed. He could not do for himself what he could do for others, which is by way of saying that he had a talent to find what he bestowed upon his state—but he lacked the one mean talent—the nequisitual faculty.
Here was a man who gave splendid<sup>1</sup> to his state and yet whose life, according to the standards of his purely predatory neighbors, failed. What a commentary on our civilization — that a man with ten talents lacking the our own intelligence, the power and the glory that the man has will develop the one talent.
student body by the medium of the Kansan editorial columns. Yet college athletics would be unknown if it were not for student financial and physical support. The editorial writer of this paper is supposed to entirely ignore the national issue raised by the Eighteenth Amendment. At the same time, it is supposed to be fitting himself to be a college of society after leaving college.
To throw the Kansan columns open to individual opinions would undoubtedly result in a great deal of confusion and finally accomplish little in the way of actual reforms. For this reason, under the guidance of the Kansan to permit, under signed articles diverging opinions on such 'dangerous' subjects as those mentioned above. This would then absolve the faculty members of the department from undeserved criticism. If such a decision is made, the Kansan then the paper would indeed be a real 'Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas'—C.S.
I wonder, C. S., if you have made a thorough study of the policies backs of the so-called "gagging" of the Kansan editorial columns. Your statement that the columns are closed to a discussion of the Eighteenth amendment, the Tenth Amendment and the Constitution is somewhat exaggerated. The scope of this discussion is necessarily curtailed to some extent because the Kansan sees no possible benefit in an out-and-out newspaper war over these issues and should such liberty be allowable, but he be never ending conflict between writers upholding both sides of the question.
Outlook of Indian Youth Discussed by L. C. Guise
Your suggestion for a column for signed articles of opinion is very difficult. You will not achieve the end you desire for there are many students on the Hill who will willingly write their opinions under fictitious names or alphabeted articles but who would, under no conditions, pay for publication with their own names.

Instructor
Curtis Guse, '10, who has been an instructor in "History and Politics" in the American College at Madura, India, since 1912, spoke on "The Outlook of Young Men and Young Women in India," at the meeting of the Advanced Standing commission of the Y.W.C.A. yesterday afternoon.

"In India," said Mr. Guise, "life has settled to the commonplace. There is not much initiative among the young people. Most of the young men of India seek government appointments as a way to pass their University examinations."
In these government positions, as the speaker explained, the young man is practically certain of a paying job until he is 55 years old, and after that he may retire on a pension. The beginning salary for most government jobs is about $10,000 to Mr. Guise, is equivalent to about $80 a month in American money.

"During the 20 years that I have worked with certain native instructors in our college, I have never seen their wives," said the speaker. "Many of the educated men in India marry several, usually uneducated wives in order that they may use their dowries to help pay for their education. The dowry price which an educated man usually receives is higher than the rent of a farmmate, however, in that the men are ashamed for their wives to meet for娶民ers."
Mr. Guise described many of the strange funeral customs in India, and told some of the changes which Christians are making in the caste system.
"The two largest fields open to Indian women are in teaching and in medics," stated Mr. Guise, "but most of them are married. Marriage is the only career for women."
Elma Carey, c'35, introduced the speaker, and announcement was made in the conference hall at Henley house Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday of next week.

He came charging down the steps and into the cafeteria with the speed of a Notre Dame back, and made a sweep he landed on top of the scoop he landed the top one, scooped up a handful of cutery, and continued toward the tables of steaming food.

They witnessed his speed deport and his hugh figure slow to an abrupt stop before the display of meats and potatoes and whatnot. He hesitated as if measuring with his eye the probable portion of each dish, or doing them all, because his lingering movement moved his gaze reluctantly on to the next compartment. Meanwhile the line
Neither did he pay particular attention to the young lady behind the counter who was trying to hurry him in his choice by waving a scop dangerously near one of the cutlets. It was evident that he took this business of eating very seriously, the only unfortunate thing about his selection be-ween the two women around the possible quantities with a swift mathematical precision.

he so lingered long and probably made a poor choice finally. But it cannot be said that he made a poor job of the blockade. As the line behind him fumed and fussed, somewhere in the dim recesses of his mind must have been awakened the memory of a Kansas yell of defiance. The yell that rings through the mind is a stubborn defense is necessary; the cry of the untamable, the unyielding, the inconquaintable, the indomitable cry to "Hold that line!"
Chancellor Is Merriam's Guest Chancellor E. H. Lindley had lunch with C. B. Merriam, former member of the Board of Regents and present vice-president of the Central National Bank and Trust company, in Topeka today. The Chancellor returned here late this afternoon.
