WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1931 A MASCULINE PLAINT Spring has been interrupted by rainy cold days, but warm weather is in the immediate offering, that is assurance of its permanence. Town children already have started to play "hopecatch." They mark squares on the sidewalk, and the people pass off the sidewalk to go around. Older people are glad to walk around, the sidelines of "hopscotch" squash, and all that. All were once children themselves. The perplexing matter of immediate attention is the matter of women students who insist on taking the entire sidewalk on the campus for their spring strolling. Male members of this school and faculty alike should have something to say regarding this phenomena, that woman, should hold their conventions, and tete-a-tetes in the center of the cement slabs. People must walk around them carefully, watch playing elbows and uppercaps, in order to walk serenely on walks constructed for both sexes. Victor Murdock said Monday was indeed a terrible day. And he explained that all that rain which fell would swell the whent crop, thereby contributing to the ruin of the state. THE REGULATION AGE "Some students already own planes, and in a few years regulations probably will be necessary." The administrative attitude toward college students is shown in the above sentence from a report on the college airplane problem which deans of men in American universities made in their annual conference. One of the reasons for European criticism of the institutions of learning in the United States is brought out in this report. America educates for "followship" rather than leadership. The instructor, who is often reactionary, is the only one who is permitted to exercise originality and initiative. The necessity of getting a conservative viewpoint is drilled into the student, who is working for a diploma which his parents urge that he get at any price—even with the loss of his individuality. Hours, activities, automobiles, publications, and meetings are "sponsored" by faculty members who are to guide the "green" students who may have had more real-life experience than the adviser. There can be little hope for bettering the deplorable condition which the Europeans criticize; that is not until students in America gather enough nerve to revolt and throw off the arbitrary control which kills their initiative while they labe through a four-year college course. A Mexican student society has condemned jazz music on the grounds of its being of savage origin. All of which would lead one to suspect that United States has completely "gone native." PERFORMANCE WILL COUNT This year's election is over, but there will be another one next year. The members of the Incoming Council may put forth conscientious effort to do what is best for the school and win credit to themselves, or they may work for their own interests and break faith with the majority that elected them. All the members of the new Council were elected by narrow margins, and neither party by its present position has any guarantee of winning the election next year. The success of the parties next year depends on what they do between now and then. The only thing that will approach a guarantee's performance The Council will be composed of fifteen Oread IQ-Kayhawk men and nine Pachacamacs. If the former group refuse to heed worthwhile suggestions of the latter, men students will repudiate the support given the new party. If the Pachacamacs do not cooperate with the majority group in what is best for the school they will find themselves occupying even fewer seats next year. As long as Pachacima dominated the political situation there was no way of comparing the performance of parties, because nobody but Pachacima had a chance to perform. Elections were based very much on promises. But next year both parties will have had opportunity to act, and performance will count. After the election both parties expressed their appreciation for the support given them and repeated pledges, which was all very nice. Now it's their turn to move. POEM BY THE LATE SELDEN WHITCOMB A year ago today Seldon Lincoln was awarded the English department died. The Kansas City native with one of his poems, "The Cross on the Buelawde" which took first place in the National Poetry Festival June, 1982, while its author was visiti- ng a friend confined in a Kansas City Mansion. The Cross on the Boulevard The Cross on the Boulevard It shines, above a myriad rushing With a light unknown when He was found. All now seems changed, the ancient faith denied math denied By splendor, speed, and science; but the story Still gleam above our scoffling doubts and wars. Above the dead unburied, and the bride. bride. The cross, dexpised or loved, seems to ... Beyond the crumbling centuries and czars. Speed on, 0 modern men of dwindling creed; By this lone patient's bed of palm, midnight. I watch your glaring lights, the stars, the cross. Somewhat you count for gain, I count Pray not this hour for reason's calm light. But bless that lifted symbol, in my need. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Politics on a college campus are of great concern but little importance. Since I was a candidate I was more interested in being an officer than 1850 men who call ballots. I must even plead guilty to being one of the group of some hundred men who campaigned for the late Oread-Kayhawk coalition. This is not unusual, as restroom remarks on an individual student --the Oread-Kayhawk bulletin of April 14 an article was written and distributed to the Kansan. It drew fire both from an editorial writer for the Kansan, and from a student of ability, namely Frank McClelland, who wrote a second article that "words such as those are not in order." I join with him in commenting that the more important, more article prejudiced many men against the Oread-Kayhawk ticket. The fact that that ticket wom at the Kansan was taken in a summation that at least a few hundred men realized that the writer and the critic had two dates were two distinct entities. One may dislike the methods of an instructor of science yet still agree that the author has seen what he have seemed to the above mentioned voters, here is still an editor writer for the Kansan who has failed to grasp This editorialist also but that campaigners strive for a worthy ideal. He writes, “I can believe that plank one of the Oraed-Kayhawk platform—equal representation in fact, not equal treatment in recent campaign, there is a vast difference whether one is in and lookout on, vice versa. There is also a vast difference between Patrick Henry, and in being a Pillipino longing for independence. There is another Pillipino northeast desiring ‘taxation without representation’ and in being an Oraed-Kayhawk leader. I believe plank one is a worthy ideal.” Concerning the remaining ten planks, the council is pledged to effect them. The council will succeed before it has tried. Let then cease causal failure, and Yes, I was concerned with the recent election and can only sign myself, one of the common herd. Kenneth Crumrine.
