TUESDAY, APRIL 12. 1932 ROADSIDE LEARNING The latest innovation in college education is the one adopted by Washburn college with its announcement that it will conduct a "roadside college" this summer. Starting from Toppea June 5, the plans of the trip call for a 4,000 mile jaunt across the eastern part of the United States, into Canada, and thence down into the South. The trip will end July 16, back in Toppea. Classes will be conducted six days a week along the roadside. Just what benefit students who make the trip will receive, or how much they will learn, is difficult to say. Perhaps they will learn what bees look like and what they feel like when they sting; perhaps they will do a good deal of sweating underneath a June sun, and perhaps they'll learn the names of a few insects and wild flowers. On the other hand, if the gaining of information and experience through travel is the main objective, then the trip will undoubtedly be a success. During the past few years many American institutions of so-called higher learning have sponsored similar projects. Sometimes they have turned out to be nothing more than glorified advertising campaigns for the college. We hope and believe the proposed Washburn trip will ascend far above these levels and prove to be a most educative and worthwhile one. Have you ever noticed that when the other fellow tries to treat someone especially nice, he's "toadying," and when you try the same game you are using "tact?" EDUCATION The financial support of education has become a political issue, and it is imperative that citizens of this country come to the financial aid of education through the legislatures. In these hard times when cuts are necessary, legislative and executive bodies will use the knife on some agencies; but those that will be hurt more are those with the least powerful supporters. Education has powerful potential supporters in the millions of parents who believe in the open door of opportunity for their children, and public-spirited citizens who are convinced that the schools are an essential enterprise. The problem is to mobilize the friends of education and to see that their wishes are presented to those persons who hold governmental positions of power. We are still the richest nation in the world, with a national income in normal times estimated at about 90,000,000,000 dollars, of which we spend only 2,500,000,000 on the public schools. It is pertinent to remind ourselves that we spend more than 2,000,000,000 annually on tobacco, nearly the same on soft drinks, ice cream, candy and chewing gum; one billion on theaters and movies; nearly as much on jewelry, perfumes, and cosmetics; half a billion on sporting goods and toys. For every dollar spent on schools $2.61 is spent on these luxury items. Compared with other nations, this country spends little of its great wealth for public purposes. Great Britain uses 22 per cent of her income for public purposes, Germany, 20.1 per cent, Japan 14.4 per cent, the United States 10 per cent. Yet our per capita wealth and incomes are far greater than those of any of these nations. It is axiomatic that the price of democracy is education, that the quantity and quality of our democracy is in direct proportion to the quantity and quality of our education. With machines giving more and more leisure it is necessary to absorb this in the schools or pay the price in crime, degeneracy, deterioration, and, hence, autocracy. With all our education we'll probably end up being a little patch of questionable terra firma in somebody's green pasture. LATE "What is the use of being on time? They never start on time." This is the reasoning of many who came from 10 to 30 minutes late to the concert last night. Football games, track meets, and other athletic events start on time. Why cannot lectures and concertes do the same? How can we start our programs on time, when the greater part of the audience is not present at the time set for the beginning? Say those in charge. It is largely a matter of habit, or perhaps just another one of those vicious circles we hear so much about. This is certainly a speedy life we're living. In days of yore, if anyone missed a stagecoach, he was content to wait two or three days for the next one. Now he raises a row if he misses one section of a revolving door. KIBITZING The bridge tournament at the Kansas Union building has attracted 40 teams and 400 kibitzers. There are, consequently, 440 ways to play each hand. If a kibiter's union were to replace one of our political parties, its membership would probably total one-half the enrollment of the University. Its platform would be a relatively simple matter. A platform with planks as "No leading from a king, no trumping your partner's ace, and no finessing your partner's lead," involves no campaign promises. Such a union with the campaign slogan, "a kiziter outside the Union building is worth two inside," would tend to keep the cheerful helpers away from the bridge tournament and make life easier for the actual players. THE PRAYING GENERAL General Smedley D. Butler, of "buckboard" fame, and more recently the "crusader" of staid old Philadelphia, told the members of a Bible class the other day that he never made a speech from the platform, before offering a prayer to God for strength and the ability to say the correct thing. The General, who recently retired from the Marine Corps under pressure, is now in the midst of a campaign for the Senatorship from Pennsylvania. The "fiery General" appeared on the "Hill" this winter, delivering a speech in the Auditorium. If he prayed to God before his speech, the Almighty must have railroaded his pleas to his fallen archangel Satan. In his speech he denounced the Japanese in terms slightly more emphatic than one usually thinks that the Lord would authorize. Still he was enthusiastically received, and rightly he should be. General Butler has for some time been regarded as a genuine American by this writer. But if he is to continue in his high plane in our estimation, he should either stand by his prayer to God and quit the gracious aid to the devil, or not tell fair stories to Bible classes. Hypocrisy is a poor quality for men in public trust or men who aspire to such positions of honor and respect. WHY NOT INCORPORATE? The depression which has been closely associated with the East has apparently hit Kansas with full power only recently. Our colleges and universities throughout the Midwest are feeling its influence in their drives for student enrollments in the fall. Perhaps the suggestion which we heard some citizens of Topeka offer would not be so far amiss. They offered a solution for a great deal of the necessitated economic waste in our institutions by suggesting that the Universities of Nebraska, Missouri and Kansas should combine by forming one organization with better facilities, a better but selected staff of instructors and a select student body. Of course, all that raises the question of where the institution would be placed. But the possibilities of the suggestion are not to be overlooked in our widespread search for economy.

Our Contemporaries Times must be getting better. The discarded cigarette butts are longer than they were six months ago. The Purdue Exponent: DECLINING INTEREST IN FORENSICS The decline of interest in debating and public speaking in recent years has been a frequent problem on most college and university campuses. Not only do speech officials experience difficulty in getting a crowd out to attend a debate, but they also schools a shortage of speakers and debaters is sometimes threatened. Richard Peterson, Northwestern University debater who spoke recently at the Delta Sigma Rho speech carnival at the University of Wisconsin, diagnosed students with a common fear of the following words: “The present a system of debating is too formal, too stiff, and hence is attended by little student interest and consequent financial difficulties.” In an effort to remedy this situation, Richard Peterson increased use of audience shift balloting, open forum discussion, intramural debate, and the Western Reserve vipson of the Oregon debate contest which provides for the questioning of the opposition as a speaker that desires to at any time. Perhaps a widespread adoption of Peterson's suggestions would materially aid the forensicists in their undergraduate activities. On the other hand, students who have long been pressed over their present apparent lack of support. Witness the student's lack of interest in politics, in world economic affairs, and in dozens of other matters, and join in the conclusion that the conclusion is general, not specialized. Campus Opinion Peterson is probably correct in that the present system of debating is attended by too much formality. The long hotel debate put in on the preparation of their cases before the debate tend to mechanize the actual debate itself. The two opposing teams clash issues if they are accidental or coincidental coincidental lines; but more frequently the two sides never meet on common ground because their outlines and speeches have been prepared beforehand and largely memor- Editor Daily Kansan: But there is perhaps another reason for the apparent decline of student interest in forensic activities. The complexity of statuses in a criminal organization makes so many demands on the student's time that debating along with many other extracurricular activities, must suffer in population growth. Another consequence of some new specialized campus organization or student activity, with consequent additional demand on student time. It is virtually impossible to keep all students involved in studies and still take an active part in the same large percentage of activities which the student 25 years ago did. Something must slide, and forensics has had to come boat with several other activities. --date due at Charleswood office at 11:30 a.m. on regular afternoon publication date and 11:58 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 1933.
