FOURTEEN YEARS
Fourteen years ago today a world, that had been under the strain of war for four years, went wild. The Armistice had been signed. Cheering crowds filled every city street. The Kaiser was burned in effigy, hands played, cannons were fired, and celebrating citizens paraded all day and night.
Fourteen years have done much to heal the wounds of the greatest conflict in man's history. Germans are no longer personified as devils incarnate. Land that was torn by shells and bombs is once more beiled by the French peasant. The dove of peace is hovering over the continent of Europe, while in the background, grimly smiling, the gods of war are preparing for another conflict that will shake civilization to its very foundations.
"Armaments," cry the nations. "We must have a large standing army to protect our borders. A large navy is necessary to protect our coast line and territorial possession." We must build airplanes and dirigibles to protect our country from air raids. A large military force is the only thing that will assure peace."
Large armaments will not assure peace. They are rather a temptation to bring on a war. This is clearly shown in the last conflict European countries were armed to the teeth long before the assassination in Sorbia. They were only waiting for a cause that would throw them at each other's threats. Yet, they say, armaments are necessary to assure safety.
Fourteen years have passed, healing a few of the wounds, and now the world is preparing to turn the universe into chaos once more with another great war.
WHAT WERE THE ISSUES?
The national political campaign just finished surplaced all its predecessors with regard to a lack of clear-cut differences between the opposing parties. Never before have two presidential candidates been as careful of what they said or as indefinite on their policies as were Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hoover. Not once during the campaign was there a clean break between the two on any issue of vital importance.
The press of the country, in its attempt to clarify the situation somewhat, was forced to undertake the task of creating issues from whole cloth for two opposing factions who spent the entire four months of the campaign exerting every effort to avoid issues. It is significant to note that the prohibition question, which might have developed into a real point of difference, was very effectively muffled by strategists of both parties.
The tendency to conceal the real facts of politics from the people seems to have shown a steady increase throughout the history of American government. Apparently this tendency reached its peak in the recently-completed campaign. What is the next step? How much longer may we claim the name of democracy when forced to face the facts?
A NEW ERA
Apparently the Notre Dame game accomplished a double purpose: it aided the athletic department pocket book and at the same time injected a new spirit into the student body.
You couldn't have found a Uni-
iversity student on the street last
Saturday who wouldn't have told
you he was proud of his school.
That sentiment has persisted un-
diminished all week.
As the annual Missouri game in Columbia approaches, much talk is heard of pep rallies. Hobo Day and other events calculated to instil pre-game pep into the students. The loss to Nebraska is outweighed by the victories over Iowa State and St. Louis University and the wonderful, unexpected battle offered Notre Dame
A new era in student support of the University team is here. The team has shown it warrants support, and it's going to get it. The good work begun at the Notre Dame game should be kept up as much as possible in Columbia and Manhattan, where the team, playing on opponents' turf, needs a friendly hand now and then.
A dentist says the latest is
aluminum bridgework. We hear
he wearey gets the equivalent of
tree wheeling on an ear of corn on
he cob.
THE WORM TURNS
For years the student governing bodies have been virtual dictators in their field of administration—each selected by the students, representatively, but forming no other official contact with the mass of the student body. This year the Men's Student Council has made an honest attempt to break down this barrier and provide a means whereby students may dictate to the council representative. This is successfully being performed through the medium of the recommendations committee.
Really to view the work of the committee one should sit in on one if their meetings, which at times assume the aspect of overgrown bull rizations." The contacts
committee one should sit in on one of their meetings, which at times assume the aspect of overgrown "bull cessions." The contacts formed are very well shown by the material brought before the group. One student wishes the hospital chapenor rule to be abolished, while the next believes the council should take some action to obtain a University chapel. One asks that freshmen be relieved of wearing caps, while the next suggests that upperclassmen be tagged so as to distinguish the freshmen and facilitate the enforcement of the rules. One suggests that cars be banned from the campus, another demands an increase in parking space, and still another believes the freshmen should not be permitted to have cars under any circumstances.
The crux of all suggestions was received when a woman student recommended to the committee that the committee recommend to the council that the council recommend to the W.S.G.A. that the organization have a recommendations committee.
It appears that the worm has burned. If there is something that a student does not like, he may now say it to the recommendations committee, knowing that it will at least receive consideration and overhapt action.
Is it folly for people to go some place where they really want to go when they should stay at home and prepare their lessons for the next day? Is it folly for people to spend money on luxuries if they enjoy that more than hoarding the money?
What is folly? Why folly?
When folly?
FOLLY
Why should these be called folly if the person doing them would rather have a little enjoyment and pay the consequences? Why is it folly to be foolish once in a while? Just when could folly be called folly?

Editor Daily Kansas
The following "gem" of English composition—or perhaps one should call it literature in view of its beautiful order and Greek simplicity—came into my possession in the course of my more or less continuous tutoring. It is with the permission of its author that I offer it for publication. He had no apparent objection and even seemed a little proud of the distinction such publication might give. Human nature being what it is, even the "bony" body* prizes his attractions; human intelligence cannot be quite perfect, not even a "perfect fool".
OTIS BRUBAKER, View President.
The Study Table, Because It Is Valueless, Should Be Relegated to the Dead Past
(Teacher's criticism-"Any comment I might make on this paper would be inadequate—as the paper." Improve on that if you can.
I have my suspicions that this fresh man, being happy, enjoyed letting himself down to performance and production even more unintelligent and un-emblazoned (literally without labor spent on it) than his natural capacity necessitating a special training program tocept it mean intervals? However I have almost concluded that if my personal experience and observation means anything—that one who tries to fall will generally be overwhelmed, so to speak, by his success in that direction. And then, like the colorful gentleman whom I met the day before, he will have to content himself with the thought that he might "angued" "sure will be lesson to him?"

RAYMOND A. SCHWEGLER, Dean.
In the end, there is no reason why the pursuit of knowledge should not be left to the individual's discretion. Without high-precision methods, he has no place in a university. The paternalistic attitude of organizations in defending underclassmen from wasting time and effort, the institutional scholarship averages and keeping a four-year house-hill customer off probation. But undergraduates that can not budget twenty-four hours a week may demonstrate collegiate menterial.
Individualism in the pursuit of knowledge is sadly lacking among university undergraduates in too many cases.
From the time a freshman pledges a house to the day he dons corduroy trousers he in brabbates into poring over books. During upperclass years the student, generally, is responsible to take the campus to the campus an advisory bureau attempts to guide those falling back onto the high road. And the Women's Executive committee ponderes ways of maintaining high activity scholarship standards. Often the fond parent, too, takes the whip of punctaity in learning.
All this is psychologically deplorable. The reaction of a student to continued pressure applied to force him into developing his intellect in one of defiance. Subconciously he grows to detent learning. He drifts through the seething content, with some gainning friendships rather than knowledge.
Moreover, undergraduates tend to study together, to rely on each other for the accomplishment of assignments, for preparation for examinations.
Even leisure, when overplenient,
becomes tiring. Then the student
consider asks, attends classes, read
books, does his own assignments—
all in one place.
Someday it may be realized that freedom for diversion also means training to learn. The Daily Californian.

Polar Bears Win Fight
Wilmaewe. (U.P.)-Two polar bears systemically drowned a black bear after he fell into a pool at the Washington Park Zoo here.
First one of the pothars seized the intruder and pulled him under water. Then the second polar bear repeated the process. This ducking was continued until the black bear was dead. Other bears gathered around the pool and grabbed at the caress as the polar bears pulled it from the water.
