MEMORIAL DAY
Memorial day was yesterday, and all fitting things there are to say about it have been said. It is a day set aside for honoring the dead, especially those who gave their lives in defense of their country.
In the words of Lincoln, "it is altogether fitting and proper that we do this," but a far greater task lies before us. More than any other people, we know what war means. We have known modern warfare with all its terror and horror, and we know that while it is glorious to sacrifice one's life for one's country, such a sacrifice should not be necessary.
After the emotionalism of the great war died down, literature, the stage and the movies were flooded with pre- presentations of war as it is, hideous, bestial, and utterly fathe. Every person, pacifist and militarist alike, can agree on one thing—no war is worth the price that has to be paid in life and suffering. We used to talk about the glory and nobility of war. Now let the talk be all of its brutality and horror.
As a tribute, a laving but inadequate gesture, let us place flowers on the graves of war heroes, but we should not deceive ourselves. Such a gesture is not enough. The real task lies before us, the abilitation of war. The first step is stripping war of all its glory, and let us hope it is in the process of being accomplished. Constructive peace plans must follow. Prevention of the sacrifice of more lives on the altar of war should be the real message of Memorial day.
Now the grinds can really begin to enjoy themselves; they can spend the summer reading highbrow magazines and discussing the noble things in life.
LIFE
Backing in the summer sunshine, or moving along scenic highways; sitting in a shady nook while a cool summer breeze is blowing softly by, or playing on the hot sand along a beach where the surf is rolling in—these are the secret desires, the inhibited wishes we most college students, both undergraduate and graduate students will love building in vain for jobs that do no have it. This is life as we should like to have it. This is life as we should like to live it.
Tolling in the sweltering heat, or rushing along burning roads; sitting in a hot office, or laboring at hated tasks—these are the prospects, the hard facts which most college students, both undergraduates and seniors who will soon be graduated, face. This is life as it is. This is life as most of us live it.

POOR TEXAS
Duped--that's it. Texas Guamian an eighteen entertainers have been duped. France is ungrateful. Well perhaps that is too strong. Let us say France is unaware of the talent which waits in the squidium immigrants' quarters in the Hotel Trans-Atlantic at Haves. We are said to see the night club hosts--American sweetheart and all the rest of the affectionate terms
which can be applied to her -sit in her barren room, and try to halk the red tape which will not let her enter France and go to Paris. We agree heartily with her. She has been duped, that's all. And think what France is missing?
Rain is depressing, and so are finals.
When they come together, the gloom
gets thick enough to insulate against
any ray of sunshine.
THIS YEAR IN GRIEF
To begin with, there was depression, the source of all our woe. The faculty all recommended, the students conferred, and the depression went merely on. It alone accounted for long books, flat pocketbooks, and the scarcity of dates for the year.
Rush week didn't help much. The disappointed ruhees added to the gloomy, and the successful ones hugged about their conquests while the Greeks alternately moaned and rejoiced over their acquisitions.
After mulling around and getting enrolled, classes were not so good either. They were scattered all over the campus, and the profits all predicted a lot of work, and failure, and talked a lot about getting the most out of subjects, using initiative, and doing original thinking. (We took his advice about expressing our own ideas; and we flunked the course.)
The freshmen kicked up a burr fuse over the traditional paddling, and finally appended to the sportmanship of the mighty K men to stop abusing their innocent freshmen. The paddling still went on, and so did the freshmen, right down the paddle line.
The Greeks got a lot more free publicity over the faternity titenition, and then get a break and didn't have to pay the tax. Just as soon as that was over Mr Tarrot Missouri rather blew the lid off a nice little matter concerning eligibility, and the battle waged back and forth, with all the pots calling all the kettles black, and a general rampus enjoyed by all. The fight turned out all right, though. Komasan won the legal fight, and we weked Missouri in a 32-0 victory. We then climbed the clamip by walking off with the Big Six championship.
After a lot of deliberation, the council and the powers that-be decided to let us have a hobot day, and like all those hold for the past six or seven years it was supposed to be the last one ever to be permitted.
Walls rolled along rather smoothly, until, like dawn, came spring elections. The Pachacamacs were licked by a bunch of newly organized left-overs from some other parties. They really got licked, and there was all the fun there always is in a bitterly contested election.
And then, after a brief rest, finails, and here we are, all ready to show the seniors out into a crusal and unsuspecting world. What a year!
P. S. We forget to mention the resolution of the fraternities passed about drinking. The boys were supposed to give up all things stronger than ginger ale for the honor of the dear old alma mater, and solve the liquor situation.
Honesty is the best policy after all, said the student as he took his grade of D in the quiz. Tane in tomorrow night for another bedtime story.
In the future planes may reach the stratophese, and fly from Europe to America in 12 hours. The weather condition at the altitude of ten miles may be peaceful with steady winds, but right now, although college students are hunting thrills, an airplane flight to the height of 52,000 feet does not appeal to most of us.
We may be just a little bit old fashioned, and all that, but we are not quite ready to accept the prospect of going to Paris for the week-end, or taking a spin over the Sahara, just for the fun of it.
THIS SCIENCE
Undoubtedly what Dr. Charles Kipfer says may be a real prediction of the future. Nevertheless, we do not have any overpowering desire to explore the regions of the upper air. We still insist that the best place to study the stars, the moon, and astronomy in general is from the seat of a sport roadster down here in the atmosphere with which we are familiar.
COLLEGE MORALE
During the past year there has been some complaint concerning the wildness of the students who attend the University of Kansas. The chief criterion which is used in judging the morality of this institution is the number of students who are dumb enough or unthinking enough to drink intoxic liquors to excess.
COLLEGE MORALS
there is another standard which should be applied, and that is the success of those who have gone through its corridors of culture. Romance and the success of the resulting marriages is this test. Today there is much talk of the breaking up of the home, with its desorienty effect on the children of today.
The University of Kansas cannot be condemned because of the number of divorces which result from romances started in the University. While the general Kansas divorce rate is one to five marriages, the rate for college romances is one to one hundred, which is considerably than the average for most institutions of higher learning.
This signifies something besides the fact that Life university has a tendency to make those who enjoy it stable. It means that changes which are made against students are, in large measure, false. Observation has proved that romances which are carried on under the influence of intoxicants, and it is described as consummate, conservatives. Shower or later, love in the rough becomes no love at all.
If the marriages resulting from romances started while the participants were students at the University of Kansas are so successful, it logically follows that the life at the institution is not so insincere. Drinking cannot be as rife as our modern consumers would have our parents believe. The success of our college romances concludes proves that although there may be a liquor question, and other questions of morals, these illicit pleasures are indulged in by a minority, indeed a very small minority.
