WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1931 A MOB DISPERSED The mob was after a negro accused of attacking a white woman, and the officers were fully justified in protecting their prisoner. There was no proof of the offense, but the mob never stops to demand that, and it is good to see southern officers in a section where lynchings are most common make such a valient effort to protect the life of a prisoner. The attempt was successful and the negro will at least have a trial and his innocence or guilt will be lawfully determined. A real frens ensued day before yesterday when a mob moth attempted to take a negro from jail to lynch him. Guardsnarmed warned the crowd to stay back, and when the people surged forward tear bombs were released and finally rife fire was used to disperse the mob, and two people were wounded. A mob lynching is a受害 of justice, and besides being brutalizing, it accomplishes nothing that the courts of the law could not do. Mobs are not organized to promote justice, but to allow a spirit of vengeance its chance to wear itself out. WILL SHOWS DISCRETION America's own humorist took a real jab at one of our favorite fables when he refused the honorary degree which was offered him from a university. Will Rogers, beloved though he is, certainly does not come under this classification. He is a comedian and a shrewd one. He knows the great game of American politics and he is able to understand and predict the actions of our great and near great. He has a faculty for putting his finger on the vital issues and telling the rest of us, usually in a humorous vein, what is wrong and what to do about it. "What are you trying to do, make a joke out of a college degree?" he asked. The answer isn't hard to find. The honorary degree is becoming more of a joke each time it is conferred upon an individual who is not capable of the kind of work that degree was originally planned to recognize. It is supposed to be a recognition of an individual's work along research or educational lines, and is designed particularly for men who have done distinctive work without the aid of a formal education. He demonstrated that ability when he said, referring to honorary degrees, "I got too much respect for people that work and earn 'em to see 'em handed." all, WIL Rogers doesn't need a degree. he has plenty of sense and experiences which is what this world rewards by more tangible means than degrees. TEN YEARS AGO At Student's Day conventon 12 age this week, the faculty sat in the audience and listened to the things the students had to say about administrative affairs. They heard favorable comments on their pet theories of education. A member of the School of Engineering made a demand that the first two years of the course be broadened, and complained that the narrow limitations placed upon choice of subjects were being violated. Other other man severely criticized the chemistry department and its grading system. A long speech was given to show how desperately the University neede athletes, and contained a plea that job be given to men showing athletic prow- ness What was termed the "per cent," instructor came in for punishment when a student discussed the practice of flunking a certain percentage of the class regardless of the individual work done. The attraction of the week ten year ago at the Bowwock theater was Charles Frohman's production of Ruth Chatterton in Barie's play, "Mary Conditions of roaming houses were discussed at a mass meeting held during the same week, and it was decided to make a beae compulsory for all students living in organized houses. Rules were framed and adopted by popular vote. THE BRUNT Everyone in the cities seems to think he is in worse condition financially than anyone else, but the farmers who depend almost entirely on wheat crops to make them a living are the ones who are having the most difficulty. The priests are the few who are making the lowest that has been allowed for strain in many years. A new plan has been invented which, if carried out, will prove benefits to all those concerned. Five hundred farmers, representing seven counties in Kansas and two in Oklahoma, have agreed to hold their own farmer's event at a site to be next wheat crop in an effort to obtain the price of $1 a bushel. The farmers in the territory concerned represent a wheat acreage of 200,000. If several other counties in the state in either one or both. organize themselves in a similar manner and make the other of the latter wheat processors follow their example, the price of wheat will almost have to rise. After all, everyone depends on the former in one way or another, and yet the brant of the "economic depression" falls on him. The new plan will prove successful if the wheat markets need the grain badly. But there is a call for wheat the price will rise and the old price of the grain may be reached. If such does occur, farmers will be aided somewhat anywhere and hard times will partly be EAST AND WEST "I know you as god, and you know me not." The line is the last one of a poem written by an Oriental student and expresses in a new way an old truth about the lack of understanding between two rices of people who could give each other so much. The Oriental is a closed book, and while its mystery calls us, it always cludes our understanding. The complete poem appeared in theea columna Sunday, and favorable comments concerning its potic beauty and the power of the ideas it conveyed have reached the Kanman. These expressions alone are encouraging. As long as people are interested in the viewpoint and ideas of an Oriental, and are willing to accept them, there is hope of a better understanding. East is east, and west is west but even with their radical differences in ideals and cultures sometimes the Iwain car meet. The general practice of cutting off one nose to spite one's face is such that even theater owners should scorn it. Yet the pitiful fact remains that the managers of Lawrence theaters are doing that very thing. MOVIES AGAIN but the week-end marks the arrival of pictures that cause even the most lenient of theater goers to fairly shudder with horror. It follows quite naturally that students with fastidious tastes will seek the amusements of Kansas City or Toneka. A Lawrence Week-end trade at moving pictures is on the downward trend. Those in charge admit the fact. The reasons fairly jump at a person when the weekly schedule of the various movies is changed. The four days, excellent pictures are killed. Kansas City or Topeka. A Lawrence movie is not the only entertainment that can be found. Collegeans are nothing if not resourceful. Students and townpeople refuse to spend their time and money on movies that are neither worth while nor interesting. The theaters themselves have suffered and will continue to suffer financially if better week-end schedules are not revised.

Shively --our mid-week varsity will be hold this evening in the Union building, FERN SNYDER, DAVE NEWCOMER The day is past when only the mere announcement that a clue club concert is to be held will matter. In fact, the public still expects a clue club to be a vaudeville organization, a fallacy for which Mr. Galloway has always said the past are responsible. The public now may get its vaudeville by turning on the radio or as a fictional sport for attaching a team to it. The University public should know better than it appears to, however, because both the men's and women's sides have for the last several years demonstrated that they are primarily musical organizations from the best musical literature. Last might these two organization presented before a small audience on, but this was the case that has been given here in several years. They revealed continued practice and careful training under their guidance, and they assured Agrus Humbur, not only in the unity of voice quality, but also in the response to the moods required in their units. The women, undoubtedly owing to the fact that more of them have had individual musical training, had an enormous impact on the numbers was presented. But the Men's Glee club took full advantage of its naturally greater vigor and life to For artistic singing, there was no group superior to that of "Tomorrow," with violin obliquity, "As My Dear Old Bird," and "The Moth," by the women's Glee club. The first was beautifully dreamy, the second was an excellent combination of intricate orchestral voice and voice of Miss Emily Ball and the clear coloratura of Miss Maude Persis Hill; and the last, while not as vivacious as it might have been, was care-free and The most interesting group was the selections from "Forest and Bream" by the artists of the 1950s. The spirit shown by the women's organization was in keeping with the fashion of the sixties, following the Indian type. The organization preserved its standards in its last collection. It was a good contrast, however for the men's organization to follow with the women. "Song," the men had excellent tonal effects in "Princess Dawn" in which the characters were played by the narrator. "The Shadow Way" was appropriately intertwined, while "The Skewed Chic Summer Jewelry Located in Hotel Eldridge --our mid-week varsity will be hold this evening in the Union building, FERN SNYDER, DAVE NEWCOMER The last regular meeting of the Campbell club will be held at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, May 31 in the business customers will be dismissed.

The quartet played a good diversion from the seriousness of the remainder of the program. Mr. George O. Paster will speak to the X club Thursday evening at 7 o'clock in the sub-labament of the Union buildings. All women students are invited.
