DECATUR'S FOLLY
It has been suggested by ai Oklahoma teacher that the text books be changed so that Stephan Decatur no longer says, "Our country, right or wrong," but rather, "Our country, to right the wrong."
This change is proper. It would entirely change the position of our country in minds of the school children. No longer could we be wrong; we would be righting wrong, and this is a thing we've seen fit to do several times.
Of course, for school children it is unnecessary to point out that at times the distinction between right and wrong becomes so fine that it requires the augmented efforts of several schools of ethics and logic to draw the line.
In case some child prodigy should be perplexed over how our country would be sure of the distinction, it would be better to change the phrase again to, "Our country, to right the wrong, right or wrong." This, of course, would immediately clarify everything.

PAGE PROPHET RASKOB
With the Chinese war, the depression, and the drive on boarders, it would seem that the politicians have enough first class material to wrangle over and tell pre-campaign lies about without digging up new skeletons to dangle before the eyes of John K. Public. But apparently the choice is too limited to suit John J. Raskob, "kingfish" of the Democratic national committee.
Assuming the role of a prophet,
Mr. Raskob obliquely points out that on reliable information he has gained the knowledge that President Hoover would be willing to run on a prohibition referendum plank next November should his party adopt such a plank. No doubt the Republicans appreciate Mr. Raskob's rather obvious solicitiveness as to Hoover's stand on prohibition. It is always so helpful to have somebody tell one about one's own business—especially when that business is of an extremely touchy and personal nature.
Perhaps Mr. Hoover was a little surprised at Raskob's powers of divination. There is a bare possibility that the President himself couldn't have such decided ideas about the future as attributed to him by Mr. Raskob. But these are times that try men's souls, and if a little prophesying will clear up the political situation nobody should take offense at it—not even the Republicans.
STEVE AND LEON
the announcement by the K. U. athletic board that Steve Hinshaw and Leon Bauman will not be retained by the University next year did not come as a total surprise, but despite the fact that
some such action was anticipated there are many friends of these two men who regreat their departure. Economic necessity, and not student politics, alumni pressure, or discord on the coaching staff was responsible for the move. Rumors to the contrary are being whispered about by the "downtown coaches" and others who have a fancied axe to grind, but the fact remains that Hinshaw and Bauman were released for the simple reason that the University could not afford to pay their salaries. Economies had to be effected somewhere, and unfortunately these men were "it." When Hinshaw and Bauman leave, the university will lose two personalities that have already established themselves pretty thoroughly in K. U. traditions. Steve Hinshaw and Leon Bauman have filled their jobs well and been of real service to the school. The student body is sorry to see them go.
With each state contributing $5,000 for the 1932 Olympics, says the Shorn Sophomore, California should be able at least to solve the race problem.
AN ACCEPTABLE CANDIDATE?
A statement by the president of a national women's organization that none of the names mentioned thus far for the Democratic nomination for president are acceptable to the dry-voting women of America, brings to mind a recent statement by Arthur Brisbane in which the columnist said that the Republican party has proved a miserable failure and the Democratic party a poor imitation of the G.O.P.
The statement carries the most weight of anything written by Brisbanne in many columns of reading matter. It just about strikes the proverbial nail on the head. That the Republicans have made a mess of things, no one can deny when he considers the state of unemployment, stagnant industry, and extremes in unequal distribution which this country is now experiencing in the midst of the greatest wealth and resources the world has ever known.
On the other hand not a single Democratic presidential possibility has offered a concrete workable plan to solve the difficulties, other than a few platform planks copied exactly after Republican suggestions but differing in some negligible aspect which is the addition of a clever politician to fool the people.
If the masses could be made to take an interest in the affairs which have made them so miserable, they would come to the conclusion that none of the candidates offered by either party is acceptable to the people. As soon as the people realize the extent to which the country is milked by Wall Street, they will put up a candidate who will stand somewhat for their rights. The government can donate hundreds of millions of dollars to aid the bankers, but it will not give a cent to aid the jobless and starving. The people will get their rights when they discover to what extent they are being "worked." Then and only will the people rule.
IT'S HERE
From all outward indications spring is here. Students go to school without topcats . . . All of the open top cars are doing a rushing business . . . Many people cut afternoon classes . . . Pledges are seen raking up dead leaves and burning them . . . Roaming house windows are dark at night . . . The hospital reports several cases of stiff neck . . . Many are wondering if they have spring fever or whether it is just a case of flu.
As for us, we're not counting on the weather too much. We may have a blizzard yet, and if we do, we want to be able to sit back and laugh at those who bought their spring clothes early and then had to wait to wear them.
It happens every night—at the concert, at the play, or at the basketball game—when intermission time comes, out they go.
RESTLESSNESS
And it's a sure bet that nine times out of ten those persons who are always afflicted with intermission restlessness will be the individuals seated in the middle of the row with seven people to the left or eight people to the right to crawl over on the way out.
Up the aisle they march and out into the lobby where they may reach for a favorite and enjoy a few minutes of kind, cool threat enjoyment. And after the last drag of fragrant mellow satisfaction they wander back in the auditorium minutes after the program has resumed, to repeat the process of stepping on every other foot in their row and bumping against the ears of every other person in the row ahead, all the while blocking the view of everyone behind.
And that goes for students and instructors alike. Rarely is it the visitor on the Hill who is so restless; instead he is the one who suffers. If such a habit cannot be cured, why not make it a gala occasion—this intermission walkout—and placing a bar in the lobby permit everyone to enjoy the pause that refreshes?
If put out of El Torreon ballroom, will Kansas City's walkers finish the contest walking about to find a new place in which o walk?
THE IMMORAL COLLEGIAN
The University, according to some "authorities", is the center of vice, lawlessness, atheism, socialism, communism, and every other "ism" innumerable in Webster's unabridged dictionary. The college student, when he leaves the parental wing, is supposed to fall into the very depths.
All men students are drunkards.
The women smoke, drink, go on wild parties, and "neck" any man that they meet. No one ever studies.
All the time is spent in going to Kansas City, Topeka, to parties and dances.
College students come to school leaving Christian homes and immediately turn atheistic in their thoughts and spurn God and the church. They play cards and gamble, even on Sunday night. In all, they are a wild lot. So say the critics who "know."
Actually the students are human beings. The parties are chaperoned. Late dates are not allowed under the date rule. Women students must be in their houses early on week nights. They cannot leave town without first notifying the Dean of Women. If they go to another city in a car while school is in session they must have a chaperone.
In the elementary school students now in college were taught the simple rules of hygiene and the teaching was without value.
They even have a chance to learn a little about evolution, a subject that had been taboo in their high school. They learn that the story about Adam and Eve and the apple tree may be a lot of applesauce. In other words, they are in a quandary. They are searching for the light and not a more will-o-the-wisp.
No doubt some of the students do get disgusted with the theory of God and the creation. At home many of them are still told the fable about the stork and that Santa Claus brings them their Christmas socks. When they get in school they learn that there is no stork with a maternal complex, or a good hearted old gentleman with flowing whiskers.
And after all, they are only human beings.
HANDCUFFS NEEDED?
Otherwise, how explain the conduct of students during recitation? They chew gum with all the modesty of a radio announcer. They twist and squirm and scrape their feet on the floor and the chair in front of them. They han-

Apparently Geneva is taking advantage of leap year to shower her favorite with proposals.

Much of it may be due to nervous tension; some of it to thoughtlessness; but most of it is lack of self control. In any case, the spectacle is about as appropriate to a university as a magnificent front hall with a cupvisor.

About this time every year students of universities and colleges all over the world begin making plans for trips into foreign countries. The mystery of distant horizons holds a strong lure for many explorers, scientists and those of what lies beyond these horizons.
The necessity of school attendance, fear of venturing out alone, parental control and the need to deflect the realization of these plans. University students do not represent a cross-section of our American civilization. However, as representatives for foreign countries, we could select from no other class of students who have more favorable impression. It may not be true that the cream of the American population is to be found among university and college students. But they are infused with a degree of enthusiasm and initiative in Europe, speaks well for America.
dern youth, we civil over the relative merits of socialism—yet where do we get? Our present age is indicative, as we have seen in this chapter, youthfulness of America—a country in which one finds the most radical suppression and the most heated revolt against its values. We also encounter other nation in the world exhibits through its mode of thought and action. America seems to be a home for all kinds of people, skins over the festered spot and calling the sore healed. It is perhaps all very well in the solving of many problems, but it is less well in the uprooting to uproot the source of the evil and to build upon a sterilized foundation. Next week an annual custom will once again be instituted at our associations association "Howdy Week."
"Howdy Week," like a number of our campus observances, has tremendous possibilities for working good among the student body by reviving a campus democracy which is at present falling into decadence. If properly observed, it will be such that every student, regardless of rank or position, will profit.
The past months have been those of turbulence. War, economic instability, and numerous other weight problems have forced the individual to an effort to meet and deal adequately with these problems, the individual has unintentionally forced to consider these problems. When it is merely human nature exerting itself, and we can put no one at fault. However during the coming period, the individual should rather to observe a quiet period, resuming a normal course and seeking to revive a social consciousness which has survived.
Nothing so brings out the good side of one as to withdraw from the hurry and bustle of problems which, in the final analysis, are superficial. Consider your fellowman. He is a being like you. When he asks for advice, the respect that you yourself desire. With this realization we should enter "Howdy Week" with their objective of utilizing its every advantage toward the creation of a "good will to man" attitude to whatever situation we are creating of that attitude in ourselves. Aw ew - howdy, mal.
Aw, c'mon—howdy, pal.
