SCHOOL STICKERS
In less than two months University of Kansas students will be going home. Although you may purchase groups of baggage stickers of Eastern colleges at a very low cost, be loyal to Kansas and do not take home your suitcases past full of foreign labels of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and what-not. You are not going to fool any one at the summer by doing it. They all know there is a depression and that you have not been that far away from Lawrence.
A traitor in politics is a man who leaves our party and goes over to the other. A convert is the man who leaves the other party, and comes over to ours.
NESTS
Hundreds of birds have begun their nesting activities on Mount Oread, but this spring the porter at the north side of the Administration building has been shunned by all feathered creatures.
Can you blame them?
Last spring when a robin began building its nest in a corner of the north Administration building porch, the hugel, "quiet - please" signs were moved from in front of the building to the rear where they would face the robin's nest. Of course, about the only noise on that side of the building would be that made by young robins. But haven't baby robins a right to cry when they are hungry?
In some ways this location was ideal for a robin's nest. What a fountain of knowledge was right at hand and almost entirely untapped! The mother robin was a firm believer in education, especially university education. She had planned to raise a highly intellectual family, and knew that in order to do so, she would have to conform to all University regulations.
But when the University administration put those large, "quiet please" signs in front of the robin's nest, it was more than any self-respecting bird could stand. Mother robin resolved never again—let education go hang—the forethis spring she is making her nest where no middlespace University administration will interfere with the orthodox way of raising a robin family.
PLAYING AT POLITICS
One political paper after another is handed to the students. Temperms are raging. Political rallies are being held. The campus opinion column was filled with harsh accusations until a limit of 50 words had to be established. Each party is having a glorious time digging up mud to hurl at its rival.
An outsider would think that a battle of world importance was waging here. Surprisingly, though, from the day after election nothing will be heard of either party until time for another election.
The truth is the students are playing at politics. America is a nation of sportsmen, and politics is one of the games. Almost every
one, including college student,
plays at it. No one takes the matter
very seriously. Immediately after
election the quarrel is over.
Neither party during its term of
office does anything its opponents
could or would not have done.
If the nation did more than play at politics, superior candidates and better law making and enforcement might be possible.
UTOPIA, AHOY!
A British novelist and lecture living in America has prepared for himself a secret Utopia where he can spend the rest of his life in happiness, the way of his happiness being "pure laziness." Five miles from the nearest other building, so he says, he can start out with his cane and dog and not meet any other men with canes and dogs.
In the twenty-seven years that he has lived in America, the sixty-year-old man has been looking for a place to settle down.
"I love my native Dorysbury," says he, "but I came to America to escape other Englishmen. "I have too many friends there."
After giving ten thousand lee tures, this charming gentleman has evidently come to the same conclusion concerning the gullible Americans who have listened to him.
Well, grandpa, don't be annoyee if we don't send you any postcards
A HERO WITHOUT EXPLANATION
On the chaotic day of October 24 1929, a tali, athletic young man rushed across the floor of the New York stock exchange shouting, "i bid 205 for 200 Steel."
Those magic words not only postponed the market crash for a day or more but also made their speaker, Richard Whitney,'a here
Today Whitney, as president of the exchange, is trying to explain to the Senate why the "bears" do not play an important part in exchange activities. The fact that he was educated at Groton and Harvard doesn't make his explanation less difficult.
Perhaps, in his exasperation, he can show the senators how they can utilize the bears to lure prosperity out of seclusion. It's quite simple.
If all of the bears would sell something they did not have to the senators who would demand that the bears deliver, the bears would be trapped. That would please the senate. In the rush for the bears to get something to deliver, prizes would soar, and from that very simple process, prosperity would peck out from her hiding place.
Trapped bears and prosperity should be irresistible to the senate. Perhaps Mr. Whitney will try it.
INTERNATIONAL DRUG CONTROL
The international conference to limit the manufacture of drugs held last year in Geneva has turned out to be a total failure. This failure is due in a great part to the selfish attitude of the drug manufacturing countries, the largest of which are Great Britain, France, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, and Japan. Three of these countries, Great Britain, France, and Holland, carry on a large drug business in their colonies.
The Chinese are often thought of as being the originators of opium smoking. In reality, the European countries are the fathers of the "Chinese" curse. It was their money-grasping, ruthless dispoiling of China that left the Chinese with the "European" curse.
The United States tried, in a half-hearted manner, to have all seizures of contraband destroyed. This move was fought on all sides by the drug interests led by Sir
The United States no longer manufactures drugs. Its fight to have the manufacture curtailed was stopped by the drug interests of other countries. The United States is not fighting against the manufacture of drugs for medical purposes, but the manufacture in excess of medical purposes. One country alone is said to possess enough enron to supply the world for one hundred years.

Campus Opinion
I know that I have wandered off the subject that I started on, and maybe I will change my mind about the sylabus situation when final examinations roll around. Right. But I don't see how that can come about.
§R.
Editor Daily Kansan;
Allow the student learns in study, research and learning, you will tend to be more aware of what is important for pleasure rather than for the education that may be acquired. I am not the one to judge whether this would work with our students, and probably it would not work so well at a co-educational school, but it certainly works out at many places.
"The class will be required to buy a syllabus which I have prepared for the course and the sooner you purchase it, you will be given the same course." These words or words to this effect greeted me as soon as I entered the classroom in the beginning of my classes.
When you answer the question, why is an Oxford scholar considered above the graduate of most other schools, you will have the reason why the syllabus there is so difficult to entirely. There is no doubt that a scholar who is allowed to do what he pleases in the study of studying and research will acquire as much out of the course as he puts into it, and that result is what makes an academic system as it now stands.
To be perfectly frank, I had to stop and think a few minutes before I realised what was happening. We were talking about as I had never been exposed to anything of this sort before. Finally it dawned on me that every time I visited the minecraphed purchase a minecraphed outline of the course at the sum of fifty cents and would be required to follow it through.
To me this seems to defeat the entire system of studying and removes the need for regular class calls. He has called for. The student is required to follow an outline for the entire semester, is allowed no inactivity, and is expected to be about the fact that we already have to follow too much of a planned course classes that do not require a syllabus.
CONFESSIONS OF A SLEEPER
Dear Gumboat. The other night my roommate retired just before midnight and I, being a jerusalem of his good fortune, decided to do likewise. Before hopping in between the soft, white clouds of Manhattan, I took a little Benjamin and set him for 6 the following morning. Bennie had a hurt look on his face because he was forced to go to work so early, but I simply kept it aside until the next day and I were particularly orthodox about arising at such an unearthly hour, but we assured each other that there was some additional work which would simply be hard to do. You know how it is.
Well, air. I set Bennie back on the dreser, turned out the light, and strung a string across his back with a pillow, but after I tussled with him for several seconds he finally gave it back. As a measure of punishment, I put my hand over his face. Bag you should have heard him yell!
Although I was sleepy, he had to tell me his day's experiences and of course. I couldn't be impolite and ungrateful. so I told him a few of mine. About that the doctor have dropped all of its love for that's the last thing I know "hang about."
The next thing I can remember, I was shaking all over and it seemed as if someone was yelling at me. Of course, I didn't know what to attention to all this at first, not knowing what it was. But the rolling became more pronounced and the noise luster Finally I was more or less awful. Finally I was more or less awful. "What the matter, Len?"
"Time to get up," said my roommate 6:15.
"All right," said I and flopped over on my other side.
I must not have been in that position more than five minutes when that rolling motion and yelling began again I thought at first I was on a ship.
“What's the matter, Len?” I grunted, raising up on my wibow this time. Things looked dark all around.
And I'll bet I hadn't been there more than three or four minutes until he left me alone. Finally, however, he became sentimental and made his greatest
"Ally, you know the early bird catches the worm, he said, making him laugh. He lethargy. But I was ready for it." "Yes, I said, but 'I never did like'
"Yes," I said, "but I never did like worms."
Boy, did I tell him!
Affectionately.
"Are you going to get up or I have to pull you out?" interrupted Len, more vigorously this time. "It's 6:30." "Yeh, I'll be out pretty soon," she said, latching back and pulling the cover off on me which had bad pulp behind.
P. S. My professor told me a few things, too, when I went to class unprepared that morning.

"STEP A LITTLE CLOSER, FOLKS!"
You see him in the center of a craning crowd. His counter is an upturned box. With nervous gestures, and one eye on the cop at the corner, he dispenses his wares. Perhaps . . . on an impulse . . you buy.
Next week, when you return to get your money back—as he so confidently promised—you find your sidewalk salesman has moved to fresher fields.
Unlike the street-sharper, an advertised product must have permanence. To become successful, it must gain the confidence of thousands of people. To remain successful, that confidence must never once be abused.
