The arrangements must be different from those of ordinary weekends; this time our mothers are to be included. It is not often that we entertain our mothers; therefore we should make a special effort to make this weekend an enjoyable one for them. Naturally, they will enjoy attending the University banquet which will be held May 7, but other ways of entertaining our mothers will have to be found. Don't walk blisters on their heels walking them up and down the hills. Remember that your mother is not as accustomed to mountain-climbing as you are, and whatever plans you arrange for next week, make them something your mother will like. OUR UNJUST WEATHERMAN The employment-seeking senior says it must be gratifying to have people appreciate you as much as the audience did Dusolina Glammini Monday night. Does the weatherman have a grudge against college students, or does he just accidentally take out his spite on us? In the morning when we want to sleep or if we have decided to get up for breakfast, he has the sun shining so brightly that we put on a white dress and decide to wear our white shoes and hat, and ever our extra special white gloves. So far, that is all right. About time for us to dash out for our $839 classes he decides to give us a change, and he clouds the sky over and starts a gradual precipitation. We change our clothing and start to class in a sticky, hot slicker; by the time we have gone about a block the "rain" has stopped and the sun comes out. When the whistle blows for our 9:30 we start from one end of the campus to the other fighting against a wind that would feel at home in the middle of the winter, and by noon we may even wish that we had worn our red flamels. As far as we are concerned, we would just as soon have our winter in January and our April showers in some other month than May. Headlines in a single recent issue of the Lawrence Journal-World: "Rob More Offices" "Loot a Residence" "Cottage Held Up" Chicago had better look to her laurals. At the rate we're going we should be able to bring the next world's fair to Lawrence. LEADERS Our nation needs a rider, someone to guide. Everyone realizes the unstable state of affairs, and all the world casts distrustful eyes at the next person. Governments over the world are disorganized. Groups of dissentors have formed organizations and make clamorous demands for a new political party, a revision of the social and economic state, and a new standard of living. The people are tired of the chaos. As yet there is no one able to give relief to highly tensed nerves. But a leader always evolves from the group. A true leader is one who is in direct contact with the problems facing the people. At the present it is our place to look for a leader in our primary groups. There is no man who could be a national leader now, for the people are too restless, too worn, and facing the problem of existence too acutely to follow anyone leader. There is one way to salvation, and that it can make leaders in small groups. If counties become stable, then states will find solutions for their problems, and eventually the nation will settle down to a more same level. STILL WE THIRST There was a rumor going around the Hill some weeks ago that we would have ice in our water fountains after May 1. The day has passed, the children hung their May baskets, but the ice man failed to stumble into any of the buildings with a nice hunk of cold ice over his shoulder. We have learned to wash our sands without soap and dry them on our handkerchieves. However we cannot learn to drink water that is too warm for human consumption. We want ice water. We can do without our soap and towels, but when it comes to being deprived of our cold water we revolt. DANDELION DAY We have our Hobo Days, so why pot dedicates a day to the elimination of the spreading dandelion and the appearance of our company. A day set aside as dandelion day would be very much in keeping with the betterment of the campus. The Chancellor could declare a day for the elimination of the weed and all students and professors could be requested to spend at least a share of it cleaning the dandelion from the campus. Now is the time for such a move, and if it were sponsored by the administration every young student would be likely to do his share. Not only would such a plan beautify the campus, but the home owners of the city would have a better chance of eliminating the weed from their yards. Under the present conditions, every gust of wind carries a few of the white seeds from Mt. Orland onto the city. Every merchant should support such a move it is for the benefit of the city as well as that of the campus. Possibly the merchants would offer a hunch in the evening such as is given the students after the night shirt parade. A dandelion killed now means the elimination of hundreds into the season. Come on! YEAH, WE NEED A LARGER NAVY The chairman of the Senate naval committee cites figures to show that the United States is falling behind the other nations in the size of navies and urges that this country build up to treaty limits. It is altogether possible that the reason this country hasn't felt the economic depression as acutely as some European nations is that we aren't armed to the teeth. Moreover, with any larger navy we shudder to think how long it would have taken congress to balance the budget. Poor old Al Capone. After spending all these years working up from the bottom of the ladder to the dizzy heights of success, Chicago's most well-known citizen is thwarted at the very peak of his career and for the next 11 years he will not be able to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Al must yield his throne to another. No longer will he be known as the king who quenches the great American thirst. Anyway, Al won't need to pay for a bodyguard during the next few years. SUCCESS IS FLEETING A Kansas City girl was wooed and won by plane. That beats the letter method which some K.U. students are trying. 15 On the Hill Years Ago The German play, *Der Gehene Sekreter*, was given in Green hall Saturday under the direction of Mrs. Caroline B. Spangler. The University will be dismissed from classes tomorrow in observance of Chancellor's Day. New Lenger (forecastedly)—in this al the soup there is in the room? Landlady (decidedly)—Yes, sir, all I can allow you. New Lodger (sarcastically)—In this New Lodger—Well, I'll take two more rooms. I've got to wash my face in the morning. Sixteen hundred men of military age, marry to escape the news, say a news story. We can't accuse them of being cowards, anyway. At the Varsity theater—Douglas Fairbanks in "In Again, Out Again." "The Chemistry building is in no immediate danger," said Professor E. H. S. Bailley, head of the department of chemistry, this morning. "Since there is a place we do not feel that it is necessary to place guards around the building." The annual spring election of the Men's Student Council is scheduled to take tomorrow. The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will hold its farewell banquet at the chamber house Thursday night. The date for the dinner was advanced from May 25 because of the number of men are leaving forPt. Fletch next week. Rallies with stump speeches are being held by the various candidates each right now. Political cards are sold primarily by the candidates between classes. Campus Opinion The statement was given out following the alleged uncovering a plot to bomb the Chemistry building at the University of Illinois. ACADEMIC COWARDICE ACADEMIC COWARDICE Editor Daily Kansan: After some five years of college, during moof of which period I have been preparing myself for college teaching, I have come to a point where the question of the bureaucracy of the profession I work with is that I should feel forced myself overwhelming upon me. Why are professors such cowards? I have nothing but respect for the great majority of the instructors I have known in so far as their learning is good. Professors are intelligent, often profound men, not easily feded by demagoguery and often more than ready to discount their own biases. They are, in addition, characterised by an extreme degree of tolerance and possess more of this qualification than most people, in fact, much more tolerant on the average than I shall ever hope to become. And not only are they intelligent and liberal, but they possess usually a genuine sense of humor; a perseverance that keeps them from pedophile which keeps them from pedophile. But why are they cowards? With a very few honorable exceptions, they are well educated and capable of classes some few of them teach under no restraint; but even these few refuse to participate in the larger activities of the world outside with any degree of leadership. They withdraw into their towers, to speak, and definitely show all that they know in the communities, even in the fields in which they are specially trained. Usually they rationalize their cowardies in some fashion as the following: "I haven't time." "It would do no good." "If would put the administration in an environment where my students ask me a propagandist, an advocate, and weaken my effectiveness as an impartial, objective scientist." "If I said what I really thought, I should tread on other toys, and injure the feeling of many." And so on. You have someone who is an embarrassing position? A university should be a leader; and every leader is subject to constant protest and criticism; these are the prices he must pay for his leadership. If it would do no harm to teachers to point out crying forms, why are they teachers and why do they think at all; why did they ever enter the field of thought? How could it take too much time when no other class of persons has so much power? What are the reasons why not a propagandist, an advocate, a reformer? One can base his advocacy on objective considerations and weaken them not at all by such an act. Indeed, all human beings are propagandists and acquiescence in a social movement is all that matters. The propaganda of the most indifferent sort in favor of a chaotic and unjust status quo.

Does the state of Kansas profit by the educational employees it hires? Perhaps to some slight degree; but only in an indirect, roundabout fashion at best. I think I too, if I were a legislator, would drive the net of "economy" and the strap on "education" to optimize leadership which it has never exercised to any significant degree. Cotemporary of knowledge is worthless without carrying that knowledge, and it is also suspended judgment is all very well in its way, but expert judgment suspended too long has produced the pressure to open into rapid evolution if it continues. Frank McClelland. Dr. William Bennett Bizzell, I think this is his full name in) Monday's issue of the Kansas City Star, says that "education is taking a new turn in the face of changing realities." That is, training the young man and women to occupy their leisure time." Editor Daily Kansan; Things may be different down in Oak- lahoma but most of us in Kansas do not have to be trained to occupy our time. We spend ours duties for jobs. F. H. ROBERTS Jeweler 833 Mass.
