MONDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1932 IMAGINE OUR EMBARRASSMENT! "We're requested! It's quite evil evident that somebody told our thoughts on valentines even before the paper came out yesterday. And, though we did say that it was all baloney, we had no wish to be left off the valentine list entirely. Our stock went down about two dozen roses, a box or two of candy and innumerable cards. Of course, we could sit it on Old Man Depression, but he has enough worries anyway, we believe. The bitter truth lies in that, having given to the press our feelings on Valentine day with a request that they be kept secret until the great day itself so that no flowers; candy, or valentine orders might be cancelled, the story leaked out. Imagine our embarrassment! We may have said valentines were all baloney. We meant that saying it was baloney. AUTO INDEMNITY A great many people own cars and practically nothing else. Daily the news columns carry stories of automobile wrecks, many of which, if investigation be carried further, are revealed to be caused by or at least participated in by persons who have no money to pay any damages or even to rename the smashed cars. Large numbers, especially of youths, own vehicles which are worth little, which are unsafe because of their age and bad care, and which, because of their small value, are available to anyone who has a ten-dollar bill for the purchase and sufficient money to pay the state, and in some localities city license fee. Why cannot there be a compulsory auto idemity insurance policy sold with each state automobile license for the protection of these drivers and their victims? THE BEARS ARE SQEEZED That mysterious group of personages known as the Wall Street Bears is reported to have suffered heavily in the dramatic spurt of the stock market last week. At the beginning of the week, more than three million shares of stock had been sold short, most of them concentrated in the higher priced, "blue-chip" issues. Encouraging news, principally the plan to expand credit through the Federal Reserve system, suddenly shifted the trading outlook and the bear forces hastened to cover. Holders of stock refused to sell at prevailing prices, and the "shorts" were forced to bid frantically against each other. Prices rose as much at $18.50 a share in a few hours Saturday morning. It was an old-time, almost forgotten "bear squeeze." Whatever difficulties the gentlemen of the bear forces might have encountered last week, and whatever torments may lie before them, they will find little sympathy for their woes. Their influence, at the present time, is one of extreme destructiveness. Their activities are directed to break down those qualities needed most to remedy the ills of business. Their profits are gained at the expense of the misery of others. May their torments be many and severe in the days to come. Campus Opinion --gravity of the situation, things may reach a state where Dr. Caruaton will become candidate for governor which isn't a wise move. Or is 11? Editor Dailey Kansan: The fraternity tax story in Sunday's Kansas indicates the reporter's zeal for the fraternity side more than any devotion to truth in reporting. Two paragraphs are concerned with my own testimony in the hearing. That testimony is in the record of the court and should be reported to its report at least to this extent. The story says, "On cross examination, Mr. McClure drew the information from L'Euyer that during the year he was a student of a university only once or twice." In truth Mr. McClure asked the witness in what houses he had been a guest. The witness turned four or five. The witness which was living in temporary quarters during the year in question. He asked the witness how many times he had been in that house. This drew the witness 'only once or twice' in that house. Further on the story says the witness called his participation in the case a matter of *equity*—term which he used to describe what he said in the statement. The court record contains my explanation, which might be paramount for someone who is attentive to the contribution of the tax burden. Certainly the reporter has been presuming to declare that the witness did not explain A dumb reporter just is. But delicatize distortion of the facts cannot be wished away like that. Quite naturally, a juvenile would have fraternity tax case law might have some real interest in the fraternity cause or cause for misrepresenting the taside. This statement is intended as a reprimand to the reporter who twisted facts, but it does not do no more care that the reporter had returned an unbiased report of the case. Hero K. Z. L'Esuver In the fraternity tax hearing, the Kansas found it necessary to conduct a space upon investigation the Kansas finds that there is no material difference between the testimony as presented and the facts published in the Kansas Sunday. The Kansas feels that its news is true, true to time, true to truth and fair report of the hearing. Regarding the definition of the word "equity," as given by Mr. L'Ecourier, it should be remembered that the law provides a technical meaning. Equity as properly defined in a legal sense: A system of law originating in the extraordinary justice formerly administered by the king, and deciphered of the English king, and designed of rules supplementary to, but now often incorporated with, the common and statute law. The term may likewise refer to any body of laws regulating conduct or the definition given by Mr. L'Ecourier. Under these circumstances the Kansean feels justified in printing Mr. L'Ecourier's campus opinion, but finds no reason to condemn the reporter for his use in a fair and unprejudiced manner. The editor reserves the right to edit all copy that appears in the Kansas without the assistance of any outsiders. STEACY PICKELL Managing Editor. Forced to visit Memorial hospital for treatment of a head cold today, I unknowingly became a party to one of my favorite songs. My university audit I have overcounted. Imagine any horror when I opened the envelope and found five green capsules. What total disregard for University colors! Editor Daily Kansan: After blasting my nose with an anestizer the nurse handed an envelope to me and I asked her to reach class on time. I did not stop to examine the contents of the en Everyone knows our colors are red and blue. Is it not just as easy, since a capsule is composed of two parts, to the extent of those parts blue and the other red? For the student who abhors capsules, he was red and blue combination would not work. He had to be self-careful as he waallowed he could conceal himself in this manner. "Terrible! I cannot." Can't some form of legislation be enforced in regard to this matter immediately? Unfamiliar from the arts department could a素质 since they realize the importance and psychological effect of color.
