WEDNESDAY, MAY 4. 1932 HERE THEY COME Down the campus—can't you see them? Here they come, all the new spring hats. Last year's floppy nondescript felt has a dejected air as it passes along in the wake of a gorgeous new bonnet. They gleam in the sunlight and dash for shelter at the sightest drop of rain, lovely in all their bright splendor like the tulips in a spring garden. All the gayest colors of the rainbow are there. The campus is aglow with them. There they go, the new spring hats. A DRY LAW VOTE With the leaders of the two major parties swinging into line, a national referendum on prohibition now seems almost certain to be included in both Democratic and Republican platforms this summer. The proposal has been accepted by the majority of both factions as a suitable compromise measure. Prohibition assuredly is not a suitable political issue. It is primarily a social and economic question. It has served too long as a political football. Parties cannot handle it, and the problem has grown to too formidable proportions to be left in the hands of organized groups. Without the backing of public opinion, no law is enforceable. In a great many states, attempts to maintain prohibition against the sentiment of the people has led to deplorable conditions. If, as many leaders of the wet faction maintain, prohibition has been forced on the people through a militant minority and is not supported by popular opinion, then steps to change the existing arrangement should be made. If, on the other hand, the dregs are right and prohibition is wanted, it should be retained and steps for more diligent enforcement should be taken. No real progress toward temperance can be made through an undesired, unenforceable 1a w. Only a referendum, conducted as closely to the people as possible to avoid partially the menace of group government, will point out the way. NORTHWESTERN'S "BLACK LIST" Northwestern University has imposed a set of rules limiting rather inclusively the character of news which may be printed in school publications. The taboos range all the way from Capone and birth control to stories reflecting on the morals of co-eds and the good name of staid old Evanston. Altogether, they comprise a somewhat formidable "black list" but practically every college publication has a similar list, either written or unwritten. I inability to secure objective information is one of the most effective barriers now existing to the development of sound, progressive public thought. Too frequently we receive not the facts, but only those acts which a self-imposed censor, usually motivated by personal prejudice or plain self-interest, feels will benefit our souls. Universities, by their character and position, should be the most liberal of American institutions. Too often they are among the most reactionary. Northwestern's set of editorial rules is a poor testimonial, both for the university itself and for the intelligence and judgment which it credits to its students, but it raises a problem which every college editor faces to some extent. WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE William Allen White looks deeply into human nature. He sees clearly into the lives of men with an understanding of their troubles from gout to taxation. His pen is gay when his friends are happy and it is grieved when his fellow man suffers. His typewriter plays merry tunes about the day when men will no longer be misled by the sensual things of life; of the day when people will find happiness in poetry, in music, in pictures, in religion, and in each other. He heals for the students while they play the game as he used to play it. When the fight wakes hot he moves to a ringside seat and encourages them by telling how he used to do it when he was a student. He does not advocate the teaching of ironclad dogs, but favors the development of the initiative and courage of boys and girls. Mr. White has not been unnerived during what cries please to call the decadence of modern youth. Instead, he has looked forward to the swing of the pendulum when youth will gather closer around the "family fireplace" to enjoy the "simple pleasures." His philosophic observations are founded on the lessons learned by experience—he would call it the trial and error method. His wisdom and his advice are based on experience and a life of achievement and success. FISHIN' "Don't the water look good fer swimmin?" "Be still. I got a bite." Be him. I got a bite. "Aw, it's jus' a crawdad nibblin'." 'Betcha it's a big cat.' "He don't bite like a fish." "Shut up, you'll scare 'im." "Aw, you can't scare a craw-pappy 'cause they ain't got no ears." "Well, fish has ears." "There he goes! Pull, pull!" THE EDITOR THINKS "Oh boy! Feel him pull on the line! Betcha he weighs a— Aw, it's a old snapping turtle." Here we are with about three more weeks of school and enough work piled up ahead of us to keep three men busy until the first of July. No, we haven't been loading. We have been postponing our work until we had more time. Now we have nothing but work and no time. This editorial writing is one of our jobs. We must sit down at least four times a week and write something that the dear readers will read. Here we are sitting at our typewriter, with a tennis match occupying more territory in our mind than the problems confronting our dear old University, and trying to write an editorial. Remember this masterpiece is supposed to show some thought, so far the quantity has been nil. After all, why should we worry if the journalism shack falls down around our ears as long as we get our grade out of the course? Lately any one reads the column. Then know more about the subject. Why should we worry about sports, politics, campus problems, and the national depression? Everyone else is doing the worrying—why can't we save our jadded minds for other things? But, you say, we should inform our public. Perhaps you are right. After the tennis match we will do a little of your worrying for you, if we have time.

To myself I said, as people who have a fondness for the theater should say, "Oh wow, is me." It sounded a bit awkward. And I did have to say something to myself. Behind me I heard a townman say to his wife, "They are only giving two plays next year. Why?" At my left MAX R. BRAUNINGER, Secretary.

LINDLEY INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF Y, W, C, A: The straw in this case happened to be a paragraph on the program of a play presented by the Kannas Players. The short and sharp, but a siluetto cut me to the quick when it informed me that the best that could be promised the people who cared to see legitimacy is two dramatic club presentations.

Havekorn was elected resident of the Men's Student Council earlier in the annual spring election. Up until yesterday, a certain Freshman was running for office. We won't say whether or not he was elected for that has nothing to do with the story. But anyway, this individual is not equipped with such a thorough knowledge of English diction. That settled, so I asked him what his date. He used the old uglous *if you-wu t-e-for-m-e-I'll-make-you-chairman of-the-decorative-committee*. Professor A. J. Mix, of the department of entomology, is making a survey this week of the Kaw Valley potato fields. But she is wise. Cold buzzers came into the ear of the candidate, and then he spoke "Two of course. Think I think a centipede?" And they haven't recognized each other. "How many supporters have you anyway?" she asked sincerely. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Despite the fact that spring is slowly setting in and the merry month of May is upon us, there are a few persons, myself included, who move about nowadays in a mantle of the deepest-dyed gloom. Just when I thought I had wrapped up all the books and believed that depression could become no dreamer, just when I had become so adept at keeping wolves of all descriptions from the elephant door that I was thinking seriously of hiring out an animal trainer, then—then came the straw that broke the cannel's back. It was a small detail for the fact that during the depression I have worked so hard that I developed a hump.) a young chap said to another young chap, "Only two shows next year. What's the big idea?" On my right a professor whispered to his friend, " only two plays for next year. I wonder what can be wrong?" And from directly in front of me, I echo, come the question of a friend who was on the date of his date. "Dye you where they now" of his date, "Dyuh see where they only give two phils next year? How do they get that way and how come?" One no appeared to answer all our questions. The program gave no more information. I took it home and intend to save it as being the end of an age, or some kind of the sort. It represents the close of a time when we had no problems. a chance to see in Fraser theater the plays which we could never see anyway. I think Mr. Ford to travel to Kansas City to see, the dramas that we can applaud, the oh- I cannot go on. This parish theatre has been the best of the unkindest cut of all. Special for Thursday Noon Perhaps those who are responsible for the new program really know why such a thing is necessary, but why not ask them to explain the need of anything so drastic? Why has this come to pass? That is what a few of us would like to know—why can we see it and play two plays next year? If someone would be so kind as to answer that better, will a bit easier despite what is to come next year—but I doubt it. KIWIW Step Right Up! Look Over These New Low Prices.
