POLISH OR DIPLOMACY?
The class pest, that trouble-making student who proudly displays the F he received in a course, has far too much influence on student attitude toward instructors.
The pest's explanation is like this: "Sure I flanked the course. The prof made false statements and I called him on them. Naturally he flanked me."
In this fashion the pest hides his desire to show up the instructor for a dumbbell to win attention for himself, and to make his classmates believe he is an intelligent person. The instructor, wise to such methods, gives the pest the grade he deserves.
But the sincere student sometimes believes the pest's explanation of failure. Thus, students who would like to ask questions and gain information keep silent for fear they will offend the instructor and receive a low grade. So they smile and nod approval of each statement. And the instructor calls down the curse of the gods on those who polish apples.
Very little can be done to remedy the condition until both students and instructors learn the difference between trouble mukers and sincerely students who want to learn. When such understanding is achieved the relation between students and faculty will be far more profitable and far less machine-like than it is today.
WAR DEBT CANCELLATION
Heard in convocation: "In Europe those who are not neighbors are friends." In our home-town we're all relatives, consequently enemies anyhow.
The question of cancellation of war debts is a complicated one, and the arguments for both the negative and affirmative are many, but the gist of the whole thing can be summed up by saying that if the debts are cancelled the taxpayers of the United States will be paying for the World War, the international bankers will get the money for their private debts which the government has just given to Europe, and the world's markets will again be opened for commercial activity.
It is the financial interests which have shouted loudest for debt cancellation; and it is this selfish, greedy minority which usually gets its way. There are also many gifted and conscientious adherents of the policy, however.
From an international point of view the United States should cancel the debt because Europe can never pay. On the other hand Europe could pay us in goods if our tariffs weren't prohibitive, but the industrialists must have their tariffs for their "infant" industries of some hundreds years of infancy. Cancellation would steady the world and bring to an early end the chaotic conditions which it has faced for three years. But, why should the American taxpayers pay for a war which their country should have kept out of in the first place, after sacrificing hundreds of
Under all plans for cancellation offered thus far, the American tax-payer is the goat. He is so used to playing this part that the action has become mechanical. If he gets wise to himself, he will refuse to pay for a war that was none of his business, unless the financiers of this country also cancel their debts. When the Wall Street warbreeders pay for their share of the World War, then and then only should the American government cancel the debts owed it. Opening world trade is a magnificent gesture on the part of the American people, but they should also refuse to remain under the thumb of Wall Street. This group made enough profit out of the World War toast them some time, but there is an old adage, "the more you get the more you want."
GREAT IDEA!
Men sit at mahogany desks and punch buttons for service, business is transacted via cablegram, telegraph, and telephone. The newest thing, which by the way is borrowed from very old civilizations, is to send your best friend to marry your fancee by proxy. The more we think of the idea, the better it sounds.
What a time-saver marriage by proxy will give to Americans. We must not waste our time in ceremonies. The world has become co-operative. Never do we live or work alone.
We hire chauffeurs to drive our cars, maids and butlers to do our work, valets to dress us, lawyers to transact our business, private physicians to take care of us; why not let someone else do the marrying for us?
That leaves us free to hurry to our own interests. We must economize our time so we can go on unbamped by trifles. The big rush is on. Where and why? That is not the question, but we must hurry and get there.
I didn't believe that woman at Salem, N.C., had a handkerchief 100 years old, says the Shorn Soph, until it came out that she was related to the Scotch.
BEEPS
Spring brings various sounds the song of the robin, the moan of the saxophone from the student who has opened a window to enjoy fresh air, and the stuttering command of the beep-beeps.
Beeps are rather new and unfamiliar in the realm of greetings. But hear two bus drivers as they meet upon the highway; listen to taxi drivers when they come within hailing distance of each other as they speed about town, or watch the delivery boys when they meet while out on their routes. Down goes a firm hand on the horn button—beep, be-e-ep! They have spoken.
For taxi drivers, delivery boys,
—even the lazy student who pulls up in front of his date's lodging,
the beep-bee is a greeting. It is a nod, a smile, and as good as the pedestrian's cheery. "Hello."
THE COLOR BAR
If 1932 presents a dismal outlook in employment to the white men and white women who will be graduated in June, what must the outlook be to Negro seniors?
But for the Negro who has specialized in engineering or in journalism or in business, there is limited opportunity to find a position. His color, nothing more, bars him from becoming a member of an organization in charge of white persons.
Negro lawyers, Negro doctors,
and Negro teachers can find
employment. The doctor and lawyer
can begin practice; the teacher has
opportunity equal to that of the
while person.
Well trained, ambitious, keen minded. Negro graduates have small opportunity outside professional practice among their own people.
Is it just to discriminate against a person because of color?
WOLVES AT THE DOOR
One of America's most progressive urban districts and a haven for conventioners is the fair city of Detroit. Since about 1920 Detroit has been our leading convention city. Its scenic beauty and wonderful system of boulevards make it a popular rendezvous; then, too, its proximity to Canada with her winter sports is an added attraction.
Once more Detroit strikes a new note in distinctiveness. The police commissioner has announced that the city's 893 speakers are to be picketed by patrolmen. These patroimen, to be stationed in the front of establishments, are to question all visitors.
It is as it should be. Of course we haven't yet as found out just what the patrolmen will ask. Perhaps they will obtain the visitor's names to put on the city's roll of honor, or else present them with a key to the city speakeasies. But anyway, the movement is in the right direction. Just think how it will relieve unemployed. Detroit will surely be forced to treble its police force to greet all the visitors, and everyone will once more have enough to—eat.
[ANKHEAD'S SENATE SEAT]
A recommendation which has as its substance the unseating of Senator Bankhead of Alabama has been prepared by the senate elections sub-committee considering the contest against his election.
Bankhead defeated Ex-senator Helfin in 1930 on the allegation that Helfin had taken the stump again Alfred E. Smith and had consequently eliminated himself as a member of the Democratic party.
Evidence tends to show that there were many election irregularities. But the American people are becoming tired of hearing about this case and are taking the viewpoint that the sooner the Senate settles this mess the better they will like it.
Hill Dust
by Laurence White
Thanks to our correspondent we received a good deal of publicity in the news. He was a guest at Joe's stealing our editorial and printing them as news stories, but if he doesn't start passing out the gravy to us from the table of likeons one for him to reprint.
A certain teacher of philosophy holds his classes over every day. The class waited for him fifteen minutes over time Monday and were then held five minutes over time after the whistle. We call that gratitude.
We desire to compliment Professor Eligon of the Engineering department as being the ocular optometrist. The semester who has let the class out every day without holding over a few minutes.
In a survey made by a taxi firm, it was found that women had 5.06 accidents in every thousand dollars taken in. The men had 1.44 accidents for every thousand dollars taken in. The men's accidents were lower than the women's. Were the accidents of the women. The women did more damage to the other person.
A certain editorial writer, probably a woman, lauded the women drivers. We find that she was, as usual, speaking out of turn. She stated that women caused less accidents than did the men she lauded. They were licensed to women. This is all very well. She didn't consider that men do all the difficult driving, that they drive when driving is more dangerous, that they drive longer hours, that they are driving for a business and not for pleasure, that their cars are in better repair.
We are going to spend the summer in a tandem bicycle tour of England if we can find someone to furnish half the money. We need money. Nice thing about a tandem bicycle, if you have a set of pedals, the hitch-hikers don't bother you.
Believe it or not, ladies. You can find the details in the March Reader's Digest.
Two-bit hair guts, two-bit taxis, five-dollar rooms, fifteen cent shows, cheaper grab, cheaper clothes—everything has come down in price but our fees.
The lowest type of college student is the one that finds out that the instructor has forgotten about conversation and then calls him up to make a class call. Don't ask his name; he may not ask his me name; he may not ask his me name as well as Hero does.

March 1, 1917
There are a few college professors-only a few of course-who use twin-six words to express one-cylinder ideas.
The honor system will not work in the University, is the opinion expressed by a committee of the University Senate. "There is not enough sentiment against dishonesty and against those students who are being examined for examination, to warrant the adoption of this system." was the opinion of E. F. Engel, secretary of the Senate.
The K. U. orchestra will give the annual spring concert tonight in Fraser hall.
Dutch Wedell, secretary of Y. M. C. A., gave an address afternoon on the religious and moral problems of the school; he especially warned the students to keep the sports of the school free from gambling at the state-run hair-rasage has been.
A dancing contest was held at the University of Washington, with the judges' decision that only two girls in the school can waltz properly.
