MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23,1931 A FAREWELL This is the last editorial that this editor, in his official capacity, will write. It is in one sense a regret, for the task of appealing to the student body through the medium of the editorial column is a fascinating one. It is in another sense a pleasure, for no student body should be subjected for any length of time to the influence of only one viewpoint. The editor has made changes in the editorial columns, changes which he has considered for the better; but the final analysis in any case is the opinion of the paper's and the column's readers. If you have an opinion on the changes which have been made in the general typography of the page, on the new feature, "With the Hill Climbers," which has been added, or on the policy of the column in general, write the new editor concerning them. Here's looking at you! Perhaps you have not agreed with the editor in his statement of policies. Perhaps you have considered him bigotted, radical, or merely mediocre. But whatever your opinion, he retires with a pious hope that the column has made you think, has aroused your interest, and has piqued your curiosity, which, in the final analysis, is the true criterion of any editorial column's worth. "Three Bandits Get $1," headline from Kansas City Star. Are we in a depression, or are we? ROTTEN BUSINESS The appearance of Saturday handbills demanding of Govern Woodding the deposition of Chai cellor Lindley and various of h associates has created a feeb stir on the Hill. The majorit present the attack upon the Chai cellor and the method in which was made. A few are noncon mittal, while one or two "dards" hold for all the handbil demanded. The bills were printed on white paper and in glaring black type. Among other things they demanded a sweeping reform in the administrative system of the University, especially in the School of Law, and the reinstatement of various professors who were termed "worthy." The whole was signed by a "group of loyal K.U. upperclassmen," who offered to appear before Governor Woodring with proof of their statements. Such an attack, made by anonymous leaders, is the lowest form of political manipulation. Coming, as it did, directly after the Kansas-Missouri football game, is plainly evident that the instigators of the affair wished to get the bills before the people who had gathered from all parts of the state for the annual Kansas Homecoming. Evidently they believed that, if they could reach the citizens of Kansas who knew nothing of the true condition on the campus, they would have established a firm root for their propaganda. It is true that every group has its right to whatever opinions it chooses to foster, and the further right to make such opinions public. But for such a group to cloak itself in the guise of righteousness and withhold its name speaks rather lightly of the true purpose of the move. For the group further to take as its designation a phrase which automatically links it with most of the student body of the University is further bad business. Although the attack will probably be merely a flash in the pan, the fact remains that there are people on the campus who will lower themselves enough to foster such a move. It's rotten business. "Sleeping Sickness Fatal."—headline. How do the members of he 1.30 classes survive? A lot of water has flowed down Fourteenth street since the 1931 Homecoming, but just the same this blue Monday finds the K.U. student body in an annual muddle. Its members are between two fires. Homecoming on the one hand is a mass of smouldering embers, never to be forgotten. On the other hand there looms Thanksgiving vacation. These three, or possibly two days of school just don't seem to fit in. THE HANGOVER There is no need to comment on student opinion regarding the proposed shortened vacation. It is a well-known fact that everyone wants to go home Tuesday. Whether the University authorities will see fit to grant an extra half-day vacation is not so obvious. In view of the crushing Tiger defeat at the hands of the Kansas team, however, it would seem that the extra morning of vacation would not be entirely amiss. But there are other reasons, too. We've seen K.U. students in action for several years now, and we've yet to see them make the most of any half-day of classes. If the much-clamored-for holiday isn't granted, it is a safe bet that there won't be much studying on Tuesday night. The psychology is all against it. Even the upperclassmen, who have forgotten an afternoon class like, can't seem to get into the spirit of study when only mornings attendance is required. It just isn't University nature. That extra half-day may mean home to some of us, too. Personally, we'd like to park in the old feather bed at home on the night before we tie into that old bird and our annual attack of indigestion. We'd rather be at home Wednesday night than rattling along in an upper to arrive just in time for dinner on Thanksgiving day. So we await the official decree, hoping against hope that we won't have to go home in a rowboat. "Girl Slays Over a Dog"—headline. Maybe it was one of those underdogs? MISDIRECTED PUBLIC SENTIMENT An excellent example of that ephemeral something I a b e c l e d "public sentiment" was demonstrated at the Missouri-Kansas football game in Memorial stadium Saturday. In the bowl at the north end of the field a man, gloriously drunk, was having the time of his life entertaining the crowd around him with various anties that under some circumstances might have been exceedingly comical. The fact that he was putting on his performance before his wife and three-year-old daughter who had accompanied him to the game, however, robbed the situation of any humorous element it might have possessed. Late in the third quarter when the fellow had succeeded pretty thoroughly in diverting the attention of the crowd from the game by his actions, two policemen arrived on the scene and threatened to remove him from the stadium unless he quieted down. The crowd immediately booed the off- fievers and cries of "Let him alone" and "He's not hurting anybody" were set up. The merits of this incident in relation to the eighteenth amendment are debatable. But the fact that the crowd booed officers when they sought to enforce the law in performance of their duty is a commentary on the respect the average citizen bears to the law. That man' by being drunken and disorderly in a public place, was violating a statute and therefore making himself liable to punishment. But the crow, instead of backing the officers in their stand, gave their sympathy to the drunk and did their best to discredit the efforts of the police men. Such exhibitions, aside from showing tacit approval of a violation of the law, demonstrate the fallacy of the old saying that "Public sentiment should be obeyed." In this case public sentiment tended to make a hero and martyr out of a man who was committing an obvious wrong. And when the public does this it is a sign of one of two things: either the public is ignorant and misguided, or the law which the man violated was unjust. But that is another question. The Sophisticated Sophomore says that the more he sees of Homecomings the more they remind him of an American Legion convention. Our Contemporaries This Hero Stuff Americans as a people have often been derided for their gullibility and susceptibility to false imagery. We too often have an hour, regardless of his status prior to the ascent from the rank and file of a great unkindman. A pair of steel one day finds himself a corner here because he was able to hush one more word in the room. A little girl competitor, a little girl who perhaps unwittingly, shelds her baby sister from the wild bullets of gangsters or a milk pail at a mild pond, the recipient of千 letters from perennial here worshippers, and soon school children find themselves medal or a statue to the new hero of the hour. Perhaps it is the fault of the tenest seeking reporters with an iitch for a by-line but nottheless it is a trifulty embedded in our society.
