MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1931 SIGNS OF FALL Just as surely as the early robin forecasts the coming of spring does the advent of dads' car on the campus in early fall forecast the beginning of another school year. Early in September the campus gives a gentle sigh and sits up to look things over. At first it sees only the clattering delivery trucks of some local grocery store, but in a little while the long, glistening boods of luxurious motor cars commence to thrust up over the slopes of Mount Gread. In these cars are sleek, well groomed boys and girls; the advance guard of the invading army. Boyts from Podunk and girls from Potter's Corner, all with new fall outfities and expectant smiles, come flocking to the campus. With them comes dad's car, that long, shiny chariot which will be used to high-pressure the reluctant ruthie into the wearing button. The air is blue with the exhaust from high-powered automobiles, and the car is constantly filled with the beat of their engines. For a few short weeks these boys and girls will ride in state in dad's car, then all too soon will come the imperative command to "send that car home before you send me to the porchhouse." After that it's a case of getting down and walking with the common herd. After all, the pledges are all signed up such there no further need of a car here. Hobum; glad all this rushing business is over. No more worry till next fall. You can tell a freshman a mile off but you can't tell a senior anything. 1 MERRIWEATHER IS CONVICTED Yesterday at Stockton, Arthur Merriwether, slayer of two in a melon patch robbery, was convicted of first degree manslaughter by a jury of his peers. The conviction carries with it a maximum sentence of 20 years in the penitentiary. He was convicted because in an effort to protect his property from three boys who were enfeeming to appropriate it, he shot and killed them. He then sent the property belonged to Merriwether, yet they entered the patch, and were only forecalled by the farmer's action from stealing several melons. Merrifleur was convicted. His sentence may not be long. Long or short he is innocent in one respect—he was only protecting what was his. If his shotgun had been loaded with salt the tragedy would have been only a comedy. It would have been only what the boys deserved, and the joke would have been a bit more serious. The gun was loaded with shot, and Merrifleur has been quenilled of first degree manslaughter, with a maximum imprisonment of 20 years. We sympathize deeply with the parents of the slain boys, and realize the grief they must be suffering. On the other hand we sympathize just as deeply with Merriwether, who was deemed guilty of manslaughter for protecting what belonged to him. A Drive for Beer—headline in the Kansas City Star. Wonder if the Star used a road map or already knew where the stuff was. WE DON'T BELIEVE IN SIGNS If you are a firm believer in signs then you'll religiously conform with the one at the entrance to the parking space east of the Administration building. On the other hand, if you've been brought up to regard superstitions as foolish, or have perhaps seen the effect of the sign on part of the University student body which drives cars, then you'll not be in the least alarmed. The sign is a large white arrow, with the words in red. The message which they shriek to everyone who passes is one way drive. The arrow is pointing steadily toward the south. On the stanchion security of its support the campus policeman is wont to rest himself, in the meantime watching the earnshuttle back and forth on the "one way drive". It's all right, he probably thinks; they're only going one way. The sign is only another aspect of the coldeal disunity of which the University is at times guilty. There is absolutely no enforcement of the ruling which the sign states very clearly; in fast there should not be, for its strict observance would greatly increase the congestion of traffic at that point. On the other hand it's making the University look extremely simple. If they intend to keep the student cars from making a two-way drive out of the road why don't they do it? If they have no intentions of offering the rule which the sign states very clearly, why not take it down? The "Quir" sign in front of the Administration building was in ridiculous that it couldn't be displayed to the public eye for any length of time. The "Stop" signs now placed at the intersection of the campus drive influence a few to halt, so they're not entirely useless. But the sign ect of the Administration building - it hasn't even a decorative value. Governor Murray, of Oklahoma, says the Farm Board is fooling the farmers. For shame, Blank. That's not news. THE STUDENT'S VOICE There exists in the Kanman a department for the use of the student alone. This department is known as Campus Opinion. Whenever there appears in the editorial or news sections of the Kanman material which arranges any student, then that student is given an exam that expresses himself through his "medium." There are no restrictions. Say what you please, within the bounds of reason, and it will be reprinted in the Kansas just as you wrote it. The department was established with the idea that editorial opinion in the Kansas is of security not infallible. Working on this supposition we have attempted to give the students an opportunity to express themselves whenever they think the editorial is in the wrong. If there are conditions which you think should be remedied, write us about them. We'll gladly print your letter, provided, of course, that you affix your full name to the communication. Your name will not be used in the Kansan unless you so desire it. Campus Opinion is the only means we have of finding out whether or not we are pleasing the readers of the Kansan; our only means of regulating our comment in accordance with the consensus of opinion. We may not agree with you, but at least we'll give you every chance to advance any idea you may have. Grab a penile, students, and let a hear from you. Improvements on the campus this year include safety zones newly painted for the protection of pedestrians "Safety Zone" seems to be assuming a trifle too much, but then a zone by any other name would be as dangerous. College youth for some years has been segregated from the proletariat; it has been placed upon a pedestal and scrutinized in detail; it has been "weighed in the balances" and according to some "found wanting." College students, they say room over American camp in search of a good time; they are chasing anything that has a kick or punch; they choose college in order to delay their going to work for a living. WEIGHED AND FOUND WANTING? Without jeopardizing themselves college students can plead guilty of these tendencies to the same extent that human nature has always been guilty. All youth, that part inside the college and the part outside of college, today's youth and yesterday's youth, have certain desires in common. All of them are guilty of wanting enjoyment, they are guilty of accepting something with a kick and a punch in preference to the OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIX Monday, 14, 1931 No. 3 Band tryouts will be held in room 167, Administration building, from 0:30 to 9:29 a.m., as follows: BAND TRYOUTS: birth Week Monday, Sept. 14—Corvette, harbor ship Tuesday, Sept. 15—Clarines, fixtures, piccies Wednesday, Sept. 16—Staph霉素, clothes, barnacles, bananas Thursday, Sept. 17—Trombones, shoes, blues, drums PLANT PRODUCTS.

Offers and committee chairman of the K-Hawk club will meet in the Memorial Union building at 7:30 o'clock Monday evening, Sept. 14. dull and uninteresting, they are all guilty of a natural tendency to avoid the laborious when possible. K-HAWK CLUB: Now, in comparing college youth with the youth on the outside holding a supposedly higher position in the world the college student falls harder when he does fall. The noise of his fall is louder and it cebes longer. The newspaper always mentions that the arrested party is a student at such and such a college, if he is. If he is not there is no interest in the fact that he is not a student at any college. but college youth is in the apasion, and naturally is a better target. Youth outside of college is not overlooked, but its errors and misdeeds now compose only a dim picture. The three, cannot justly be compared on the same basis. The misconduct of modern young people looms greater than that of the older generation, principally because of the difference in modern and past conditions. Everything moves faster these days. We live faster, but fast life of today had its equivalent in years past, in life that was as fast as conditions permitted. What the old folks tell of us the scandals of their days, if renamed under present circumstances would probably have the same appearance of evil as the sins of the present generation. When college youth is weighted and found wanting, on what scale is it weighted, and of what is it found wanting? College does train most of its constituents to better meet life's problems, but it does not pretend to perform miracles with human nature or transform those human desires to all classes. Rowwithstanding those facts, college students are trying to cope with their problems and are probably accomplishing more than they are given credit for. The College Institution is paying 50 cents a babel for wheat when applied on mulit tickets. From raw grain to biscuits in five minutes, it was weve. AN AMERICAN DOLE? The collapse of the British government and the formation of the new coalition has again aboved to the front the question of the dole. The English dole system, established in 1912, with a substantial monetary reserve to its credit, has become a veritable Frankenstein, crushing to its credit AOINN einstein, crushing everything in its path. In twenty short years its drain on the employer, the laborer, and the government, have become such that a financial crisis is still imminent. Only drastic measures on the part of the coalition government, and personal sacrifices on the part of the king and the cabinet, have averived the collapse of the pound. Styled to the new trend---- Priced at a new low level. And even while England is struggling with her financial crisis economics in America are violently advancing the establishment by the government of a system of unemployment insurance, in egality a variation of the debt. Is America such that it can profit by the mistakes of others? Already bey are paying out corrences some or the compensation of war wives, another form of the debt. The treasury deficit is daily growing and increased ac levies are being contaminated, and in the face of all this, with England's economic upheaval as a burdensome background, our so-called "secrets" violently bowl for unemployment insurance. Aside from the obvious impurposity of such a plan it offers a serious back to our system of organized labor. With such an insurance bargewheel would have borne the incentive for co-engineering with their fellow laborers. The security for a check on capital is removed, and our coordinated labor organizations would die a natural death. Whether or not such a death would be detrimental in a most question, but at least it offers a reason for servicing and conscientious study of any plan restoring remediating the English date.
