A NEW SYSTEM?
Past years are history on the Kansas campus; this is a year in the making. Those seasons just passed have gradually, but firmly, nursed a widespread collegiate attitude detrimental to student democracy—that of discrimination between fraternity and non-fraternity men and women. Greeks and Borsh, they call them—yes, the terms are quite familiar.
Not so bad, just that, but when this unjust distinction enters into the sacred room of Hill politics, the very essence and only hope of true student democracy, and results in the presentation by the major parties concerned of a ticket composed equally of fraternity and non-fraternity men, not because of similarity in qualifications and possibilities of the nominees, but to satisfy both groups and thereby obtain a larger number of elective votes, then something should be said, if not done.
Fraternally and non-fraternally speaking, is it a ballist of perfect balance we want from which to choose these guides of our student destinies, or a ballot on which are names of men and women qualified to perform these many student functions?
The nomination of a man for office by the campus politicians because of his vote-getting possibilities, and not for his proved abilities, seems an admission that there is not a man on the campus with a record eminent enough to receive a majority vote on his own merits; a deplorable condition, to say the least, and hardly a compliment to the intelligence of the Kansas student.
It is not long now until the election of freshman class officers. Why not give this fraternity and non-fraternity shuish a rest, and remember we are Kansas students, not Greeks and Barbos? Let us see the politicians elect some freshman class officers on a basis of merit, and not on a fifty-fifty ballot to secure more votes. That, we say, will be a political accomplishment, not just politics.
From New York comes the news that a woman believed to be a witch has been attacked by her neighbor. From Oldahoma we hear that an O.U. fraternity has been punished for violating the "no-paddling" edict of President W.B. Bizzell. But why should paddling be abolished as long as there are witches in the country?
THE VOICE OF KFKU
Every day, the voice of KFKU is on the air, broadcasting programs that are both interesting and informative.
Although the time allotted the station is limited, and the amount of material and the variation of the programs must be arranged accordingly, nevertheless the programs presented are far from wasted time.
Various departments present information that is in some respect valuable to the student. Material

ranging from athletics to politics is included in the make-up of the radio broadcasts.

We agree wholeheartedly with Chancellor Flint, and we would stress the

To tune in on the KFKU broadcasts is another way of coming closer into touch with the activities of the University.
WHY GO TO CLASSES?
From Chicago University comes the report that one year of voluntary class attendance has raised the general scholastic average to ten per cent above the average of the three years preceding.
Our Contemporaries
The recent ruling of the United States department of labor and its Securities Department requires students the right to earn their support while here as students is an example of the extent to which narrow nationalism may be carried in these days.
We may be forced to recognize education as a part of legitimate university life if things continue long in this way.
Even Chancellor C. W. Flint, of Syracuse university, characterized this policy as "narrow and short-sighted," and as "making no contribution to the interests of American labor or American citizenship."
EVE THE CONSERVATIONIST
Added to the already fabulous tale is the statement that there is regular class attendance, demand for tests, longer library hours, and tutorial conferences with professors.
Desirous perhaps of gaining additional votes for the present administration by pandering to the rising tide of anti-fairness feeling in this country, the officials made this foolish move which has evoked a storm of justified protest.
If this materializes, we should be able to credit the women with a great save in putting so much back into circulation at one swoop.
It is estimated by a writer for the New York Herald Tribune that the shortening and tightening of skirts promised for fall styles will cost Mr. Everyman in the run. "If you want to save Mrs. Everyman from the dignity of appearing in public in an out-of-date leaf," he says.
fact that there is no nationalism in education. Intellect is international. There are no national boundaries in the realm of mind. To erect tariffs, to speak, against the importation of foreign ideas is to paralyze our own minds, to narrow our horizons, and finally to commit intellectual suicide.
The free trade in ideas is the stream of the world's progress. Neither virtue nor intelligence is rooted peculiarly in the soil of any one nation or imbued in the hearts of any one people. And, the greatest glory of any university is that it gave众生 particularism to humanity an inter-exchange of national ideas.
Now this question of prohibiting non-quote students from working in order to complete their education in this country is an undeniable, significant importance derives from the fact that it is but an omen of worse chauvinism to come in the future. When we begin to put up tariffs so as to restrict the free movement of knowledges,

The words of Chancellor Flint are significant: "So far as Syrucce is concerned, we appreciate our foreign students. They are an asset to us. Even more of them would be a discussion tool for education of our American youth."
