Not only did Mr. Rao state his arguments in a most convincing and lucid manner, but he opened up an entirely new avenue of thought with his coinning of the word "pin hole knowledge." Most of us are all too prone to take our knowledge through a pin hole. We dip lightly into the subject, assimilate a smattering of superficial culture, and consider ourselves adequate to cope with almost any situation. We discuss learnedly and dogmatically subjects which even the world's great have hesitated to approach. It isn't that we consider ourselves an authority on the matter, but that we fail to look into every angle of the subject. We plunge into fevered argument with only our "pin hole" knowledge to guide us, and too often it is inadequate. fault cannot be held wholly at the dc. of ignorance, however. There is so much going on today in this speck of the solar system that it is humanly impossible to watch every bit of it. As someone has said: "We are attending a twenty ring circus, and trying to watch all of it at once." Finances in England, civil war in Spain, dictatorships in Italy, crumbling government in Germany; we are lucky to retain a hole joke! The Kansan is not above such pin hole knowledge. Of necessity it must sometimes creep into its pages material which copies inadequately with the problem. To be human is to err. But there is this about such a blunder: the ability to admit error in a large degree atoms for such harsh statements as might be made in the excitement of a fevered argument. The Kansan welcomes such criticism as Mr. Rao's. It shows that, after all, readers of the Kansan may have more than a "pin hole" outlook on life. The Sour Owl's summer hibernation seems to have made the old bird a bit disreputable. YOUTH VS. AGE Generations may come and generations may go, but advice goes on forever. Each generation, as it passes through its various stages of abstinence, finally comes to that time in life where it seeks to advise youth concerning the problems of life. Not that youth resents advice given in an objective manner; but often the older generation forgets to be objective and becomes quite dogmatic. Youth is not infallible. Yet, neither is maturity infallible. But why must maturity consistently clip the wings of youth with the pension-aged "I told you so" expression when the latter commit itself to a breach of so-called folk-ways and mores? Experience is the best teacher. This statement has found its way into print through the various ages. Yen, experience costs much at times, but it is no nearly so costly as advice given to youth from a dogmatic standpoint. Advice given to youth in this manner often causes revolt which not only partly retards the growth of youth, but wrecks the strength of the older generation as well. present period is quite different from the period which our parents, as youths, lived through; and such is the case with each succeeding generation. The moral code has to be revised to meet new life situations. Why should the present generation be forced to live under a social system organized and written in a wilderness where the machine age was not and could not he conceived? Generations have willingly accepted new life patterns, but have fought bitterly to defend a moral and social system that cannot stand the test of our present problems. Why? In a series of syndicated articles now making the rounds of the large dailies in this country Arthur B. Reeve, creator of numerous crime and mystery stories, is telling the police just what gullible creatures they are, and how they are fooling themselves in the baffling mystery of the Benjamin Collings murder. We compliment Mr. Reeve upon his egotism, but deplore his deductions. Give youth a chance in this game of life! The older generation may offer advice obtained through years of experience—but remember, just as youth takes advice with a grain of salt, so did the older generation in its early stages. CRAIG KENNEDY TO THE RESCUE It would seem that enough has been said in the public print concerning this world mystery without Mr. Reeve's bringing his retorts and brushes on to the scene. But with the analytically scientific mind which his brain child, Craig Kennedy, brings into every murder, Mr. Reeve anguages the problem. His coldly analytical mind slips, however, at the very outset. In the circumstances it would not seem that a mind such as Mr. Reeve's would be required for the results which he has been accomplishing, namely the continued immuno against the widow of Collins. Even the veriest tyre of a tabula reporter could attack the veracity of Mrs. Collins with the whispered accusation: "She hasn't told all she knows." Mr. Reeve cannot for a moment forget that he is primarily a creator of mystery stories, a writer of fiction. Always, there is a hint of bally-hoo. To create a motive he must evolve a most sordid plot and plaster it with weird angles. Truth the infallible Craig Kennedy would be a great help to him now. --- And now that school has begun we've commencing to wonder if that "pipe" course we picked out might not be a "pipe" dream! Our Contemporaries OUR WEDDING Enuice (Nu-Nu) and Chester K. (Chet) Shore were married without much noise today in Great Bend, Kansas, where they bothered "Dose" and "Lely" Holmes for the use of their front room. "It is the first time since Christmas that the room was missed said LeTY to the officiating minister. The bride was fixed up in a fair-looking travel suit which her father will pay for in advertising space. The grover wore last year's suit which he found at the dress shop squeaked when he entered the room. Only a few immediate friends were present, as no printed invitations were given and announcements will be sent later instead. The groom's sister didn't show up for the wedding, as she ran into a traveling man acquaintance on the street and plumb forgot the affair. "I have only seen her once," he only comment at the hamburger stand reception following the ceremony. The newlyweds are leaving for New Mexico where a man with a "colonel" The wedding came at the climax of a series of prepared newspaper article originating in Wichita. The bride is well known in Larned and Lawrence. She has received a lot of support from business with merchants during her school days. She resided in Lawrence and was also a not so noted Shore, who was returning to the town to pay off his school debt. They both had a hard time with the course and were very busy during days. Shore was almost eliminated several times for high grades and on college days. Shore was a humorous magazine that he edited. The newest bride in Kansas was a joiner to societies and attending the University of Kansas. She had a nice dress, but she didn't attend her she attended two more years the college annual would have been two pages larger. The groom also went organizationally, but the couple which should have gone in some good building and loan stock so that he would have a home now rather than being an apartment over the gas office. The newest groom in Kansas is at the present time editor of one of the fastest going little daily papers in South Barter county. Some people think that she has the hands of the receivers. The bride serves verse for her own poetry magazine. MEN'S GUEE CLUB Men's Glee club trysts will be held Monday and Tuesday evenings in instr 322 Administration building, at 7:30 clock.
