TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18.1932 AUTUMN If you have a spare moment to tomorrow, walk down Mount Oreand, a little past the Union building, and look out over the Hill. Such a confusion of color! The maples and poplars are splendidly colored in reds, greens, browns, and yellows— their graceful and beautiful surrender to life. The rolling green hills, a hazy cloud above, and that tiny red, red tree peeping over the side of the stadium complete a picture that is almost incredibly lovely. This is nature in a season of mist and mellow fruitfulness, splendid, fanciful, and yet melancholy. For these are the saddest days of the year. Nothing but asters are left of the flowers, the leaves are falling, the light is diminishing, and the sun is growing colder. Hunks, dagos, w o p s—that's what they're called in southeast Kansas. But they're Americans too. THEY'RE HUMAN TOO The mining district in Southeast Kansas presents a particularly unattractive picture. Deserted mine shafts and huge mounds of slate and dirt from the silt-pit mining makes the land desolate. The mining camps, with row after row of dingy houses all make alike, fit into with the unkempt atmosphere of the land. Several years ago they made good wages and drove big cars. Then came the depression; political bosses entered the scene, too; and strikes. And now they're out of work. The mines are closed and there is no other work of any kind. This is the environment in which the miners live. Most of them are foreigners, and perhaps their standards of living haven't been the same as that of the Americans; but wouldn't it be better to try to help them rather than submerge them in the environment? They have no money, their clothes are worn out, they don't even have enough food to eat. When they get sick they have to call on the county for aid. There is, to be sure, one way for them to earn a little money; they can boot-leg. They have been used to drinking all of their lives, the Americans living in the surrounding towns are willing and eager to buy their products so why shouldn't they bootleg? If they aren't smart enough and get caught they can go to jail for a month or two. The food at the jail isn't bad and their wives can run the joint. The Americans criticize them and say that the foreign element in the mining district is a corrupt influence to the community. A little instruction in good citizenship by example might help the miners a lot. ON REALISM For the past twenty years there has been a "great tearing of shirts" over the trend of realism in literature. Authors like Sinclair Lewis, Theodore Droiser, Ernest Hemingway, and John Galsworthy have been roundly denounced for their evil books that threaten the moral foundations of our nation. In reality these authors are the most intense idealists that have ever lived. Their vision of the future would eliminate the sordidness and sorrow of the world as it exists today. Scarefully aware of their motives, these men write to guide around the unpleasantness of life those who follow after them. With a devotion that is passion almost fanatical, they cry out against the wrongs of the world in a vain hope that someone may heed and be saved the sorrow that has been theirs. Last week students of the geology department took a field trip by airplane. Were they studying halite stones? OUR CONVICTIONS Did you ever try to convince a man that his political or religious views were wrong? Very rarely will anyone admit that you were right, that Roosevelt should be president and not Hoover, or vice versa as the case may be. Just now this same political question is being argued futilely in many personal controversies. Radios, newspapers and speeches change a certain number of people's minds—although they may not realize it—but justy to do it personally, especially wih someone you know. This is because tradition has built up us for our barriers to our thought, making up impervious to anything not corresponding to the views we hold already. We are Democrats and Methodists because our fathers are. We cannot stand ripe olives because our families never had them, and so on ad infinitum. If we could get away from ourselves and look at things critically and clearly we should arrive at a much more accurate opinion on many things and we might even descend to admit we were wrong on a few points. As it is, most of our reasoning consists in finding arguments for continuing to believe as we do. WHEN WRIGHT IS WRONG "Wrong Trail is Taken by Wright Party" headlines the news story of Saturday's developments in the lion hunt planned by Denver M. Wright, St. Louis manufacturer and, sometimes styled, sportsman. The hunt thus far, however, has been for an island or other suitable "jungle," and the lions he will keep under heavy guard until he has cooked his gun. Wright's main difficulty in this manufactured "safari," as the papers romantically call it, has been lack of preparedness. True, he purchased the lionesses of a stranded circus for $15; true he has selected as capable a group of sportsmen to accompany him any that ever set foot on Africa; true he has hunted all over the southwestern part of Missouri for an island that always has been in the Mississippi river. But he has made one great mistake. He should have taken two trucks with him, one for the two lionesses that had been half-starved by the circus before Wright started jolting them over the Ozarks, and a second in which to transport an island jungle. This he could have dumped into the Mississippi at some point far from inquisitive residents, human societies, and attorney-generals, and then proceeded to have his spout as becomes a genuine sportsman. I believe that the student council and the Kansan are to be criticized adversely for their attitude toward the rule requiring chaperons at the hospital. In the first place, they fail to realize that there is a certain type of student whose moral make-up is such that rules are not followed. And as for the chaperon rule being an institution on moral stability, the idea is absurd. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Editor Daily Venues: If that be true, practically every rule and regulation in an institution, then, is a reflection on the integrity of its members. Why are traffic and parking rules necessary on this campus? Why does one have to sign his name to a car? What happens if there are insultation upon women's moral integrity when they are required A regular meeting will be held at 4:45 p.m. Wednesday in room 32, Administration building.

The Kansan also states that the rule is mid-Victorian. Of course, that is not an accurate statement. In the time of Queen Victoria, in hospital, chaperons were not required, for men, women, and children were lodged together in the house. So even now the floor. Suppose though for the sake of argument the rule is Victorian, that does not condemn it. It isn't the age-old practice of paddling still effective? Pledging services for Tau Sigma will be held this evening at 8:15 in Robin s gymnasium. LLLLAN PETEISON, President. W. A. A.; W.A.A. will meet Wednesday afternoon at 4:38. Please bring your does. DOROTHY LIGHTBURN, President. All University students are invited to attend a meeting of the K.U. Republican club to be hold Tuesday evening, Oct. 18 at 7:30 o'clock in the Little Rock Auditorium. In the second place, the rule does not to my knowledge, work a great inconvenience on any person. It appears to me that the students agitating the abolition of the rule live in organized houses and have available chaperoes I have lived in a number of rooming houses in the past three years, and always the landlady has been glued to act as a chapero. There are always at a chance, possibilities for getting a chapero, the girl's housemother and your own. to live in rooms authorized by the dean of women? We'll admit that in certain instances it is inconvenient and even impossible to procure a chaperon, but we have yet to hear of any patient "passing out" because friends of the opposite sex weren't permitted to see him. And it is entirely possible for visitors to carry "disease germs" to patients, and for visitors to catch the disease from the patient and vice versa. I understand that some students who do not believe in the theories of modern medicine. The knowledge which the average student has in medical matters is usually deficient, as is well illustrated in the editorial paper which suggests that some people might be more ill equipped to handle epidemic might hire her services at the student body. If there could be as much dissatisfaction with the visiting hour rules as the council believes there is, why not abolish them? Most hospitals need rest and quiet as much as medical attention. Every one knows that visitors do not always cheer the patient or aid in his recovery, and they must help hinder the recovery of the sick person. As for my former, when I'm admitted to the hospital again, I don't want the girl friend camping in my room during every visiting period. I want peace and quiet cod safety. The last time I was with her, she told me the girl friend, while her chaperon wasn't looking, sat on down on the side of the bed and on my leg; and my leg had to be set again. And the time before that, she insisted on kneeling whenever the chaperon had her back turned; then my cold, and she blamed me for it. No, the wiest thing to do would be to abolish all visiting hours. Inn'three some old wheeze about "Absence makes the heart grow fonder?" "Patient." Our Contemporaries **Collegiate Wrecks Pass** The collegiate wreck is no more. This situation was revealed after a close scrutiny of the various types of cars driven by the students of Troy. The cars on the campus are of varied make and model, old便宜 Old Fords, Chevrolet, and ancient Essex cars, to large, beautiful Packards and Cadillacs, the vehicles exemplify a gull display of colors and lines. One of the most beautiful cars on the campus is an exquisite Auburn convertible coupe which is driven to school daily by a car with colorful markings. An epic has come and gone with departure to the dump heap, of the ever popular form of conveyance. It might be considered a sad state of affairs that the cars with the badly battered fenders, witty inscriptions, and detonating motors have become a thing of the past, but all these things have rejoice that cars with well-rounded fenders and good paint jobs, have taken the place of the "wreck" in the hearts of Trojan students. And now, with the above observations in mind, everyone will join in the chorus of that sad ballad, "The Tin-Pan" parade to the Automobile Graveyard." THE OFFICE CAT There is a new member of the personnel in this office in the person of a sunburn orange feline derelict who thinks no more of usurping the best chair in the house than women do of talking over the back yard fence. This cat, a slender, modern thin-figured creature, boldly took on the job of bossing this office about a week ago. Since that time the cat has persisted in its business as the building is a happy hunting ground, and when Fireball (that's the cat's name) isn't tweaking a mouse's tail in the basement, she scriensly is in the front office and doesn't care if it's on the society editor's desk or in the sanctum of a lowly advertising man. We have never been disposed to favor cats, but the advent of Firehall has bolstered our hopes, for the reason that we can own an open porch where we will be on one front porch, voicingly informing the stars of its indignation.-Garden City Daily Telegram.
