ALL IN A FOG?
Not only were rain clouds hovering over the campus today as students went to the polls for spring elections, but there was a cloud of political conversation, special news sheets and paid advertisements. All these had succeeded, to an unknown extent, in hiding some vital political issues.
Elections always bring forth volumes of arguments, and the only thing wrong with the arguments seems to be that there is very little notion of what the different sides are arguing about. The parties succeed only in talking at cross purposes, and confuse rather than clarify the ideals they propound.
What are the vital issues at stake in this election? Equal representation for both the Greeks and the non-fraternity men has been mentioned; all parties have said much and meant little perhaps on the subject. The issue of student council expenditures might have been a live one, but, save for vague charges and an indefinite defense, very little has been said. Instead of concentrating on a few worthwhile and controversial subjects, the idea in the campaigns of each party has seemed to be to evade the charges made by other parties, carefully wording propaganda so that it is either ambiguous or misleading, and to conceal all activities in a smokescreen of personal abuse.
The rounclal touch in it all came when they labeled their propaganda "Let the Voter Beware!" Indeed, in the fullest sense, the voter might beware.
The usual expression, "Have a fish," which accompanies the college handshake, had changed today on the campus. The spring-election handshake said instead, "Have my card." The usual limp handshake, however, was still there.
OUR BASEBALL OUTLOOK
Thus far the evidence submitted has led to the belief that the University baseball team is a likely pennant contender for the Big-Six championship this spring. Having won football and basketball laurels in the Valley, the idea of also annexing the baseball title is an appealing one.
Baseball on this campus has not always had the support of the students, yet there is something in a college baseball game that is even more appealing than a professional contest. All who attend know that it is soda pop and popcorn weather, and that the atmosphere is likely to be very informal. If they are not familiar with the names of the players, they soon will be made so the "handles" dislurbed by the wits in the grandstand to the players on the K. U. nine are diverting, to say the least. Such names as "Fat Lady", "Pineapple," and "Little 'un'" can come stock phrases with those in the gallery. Also, the mannersmess of all the players soon reveal their identities. There is something in the way in which they adjust their caps at篮, and hitch their trousers, in the stance they take at the home plate, which mark them in the spectator's eye. Then, too, when they throw down their bat in disgust after three fast ones—that always make for distinction. Everyone knows them, all root for them, and all sympathize with them save for an occasion.
term disspanned birdie (also a golfin' term which makes for dissension).
Theump is often called a "roober," or a "thief," but more often he is known as the man who stands behind the catcher in utter discomfort, attired in a hot protective mask, breast pads, shin guards, and the like, while the crowd behind the wire of the stands look on and poke fun.
JACK AND ESTELLE
Jack Dempsey, ex-hobo, ex-wahler and ex-prize fighter, admits that his presence in Reno is to eventually ask a divorce from his wife, the former Estelle Taylor, screen star, on grounds of incompatibility.
Most of us are not surprised at the news. It was a question all along as to just what length of time the domestic scene would hold the stage. But there were those who had enough interest in Jack and Eatelle to forecast their success at marriage. Obviously, there are reasons why some should hold to this belief. One is that there are still some marriages in existence which do not seem to be in any immediate danger of demolition. The co-operative venture is still successful in some parts of the country. The strongest reason, though, in our opinion is that those who foretold success for Jack and Eatelle did not reckon with the fact that both of them are temperamental.
All people who achieve success in a chosen field, whether it be on the screen, in the prize or sawidt ring, or as chauqua and concert headliners, seem to have the necessary attribute of being temperamental in their make-up. It comes natural with them, and outcrops when the bonds of marriage are entered into. Being temperamental with them is just as much a part of their attire as is a blue denim shirt with a pair of overalls. Sometimes we wonder what a public figure would do who, chafed by the marital traces, discover there were no longer such grounds for divorce as incompatibility, or being temperamental.
ROYALTY AND THE REPUBLIC
Spain, the strong wallop of powerful monarchs, has turned republic. Royalty, it seems, must either be the entire show or not be at all. Alphonse ruled with a military dictatorship for the last few years of his reign, while he piled up the fortune for which men in republics fight and die. He lived in beautiful palace, and lived the life
of the wealthy. Although he was one of the most industrious kings of his time, he was not efficient.
Now that Spain is a republic, the people are madly rejoicing. They are not carrying life on in its usual way. It was the same way when the French monarchy fell, and it has been the same when other kings have abdicated. There seems to be something in the fall of royalty which lifts the populace to heights of unnatural joy; then the joy is usually followed by a depression descending on all of the people. With the declaration by Alphomosa that he is still the king of Spain, temporarily ousted by a wave of disaffection, there appears the sinister possibility of his return when the people will again pass under the yoke. Revolving masses soliden act in a natural way. What they do is more like the action of a mob and
Spain would do better to celebrate less, and think rationally, after she has overthrown her monarch. The present government has a great piece of work on its hands which most Americans would like to see accomplish.
it is likely to be so in this case. The royal family of Spain is leaving in tears amid the mocking of the people. Such enthusiasm for the republic is unlikely to last.
Faculty members are bired to teach so many classes a day in the curriculum. Their contracts do not call for little informal meetings with students outside the classroom for the purpose of strengthening the mind and outlook. There is need for a better relationship, that is, a relationship with one teacher outside class, in order to take the blissfulness out of the intelligence which is often dispensed in the classroom much as cakes are served over the counter in the College East Shoppe during rush hours.
FLABBY INTELLIGENCE
Calling it flabby intelligence—this classroom work-is often justifiable for
a number of reasons. Too large classes or too slow professors cannot do justice to themselves. It is true, admittedly so, that the faults of students are glaring, but, in this instance, let's observe some faculty members.
One instructor who comes to mind has a perplexing way about him; in fact, it's so perplexing as to produce fear of complexities on the part of his student at about this time of the spring semester. For instance, the instructor asks his class a question, discusses it, but never reveals the answer. Such an action is clever, deceived so, but it is not conducive to education. Some may grasp by inference what is meant on the part of the instructor, but the majority sink into imbecility so far as the course is concerned.
Then there is the faculty man whose incoherence makes for general disruption in the classroom mind. His rapid, staccato speech is seldom pliable. Always it is well filled with inflections which simply can't be caught by students farther back than the middle of the room. Annually students, lacking self-confidence perhaps, fail his course, not because they are of low intellect, but because they have been so foolish as to think the course a mysterious one which demands unusual ramifications of the human mind in order to be grasped.
Often to, a faculty member has little regard for the opinions of his pupils, especially if they be at variance with his own. The instructor, perhaps having lived at a time when social and economic strata were seen through a different lens, is unable to grasp fully the significance of today's youthful credits. One of the biggest mistakes possible in the teaching profession is that of attempting to curb or quill youth, without offering a better substitution of action.
Such faculty faults will do much to block the path to student-faculty understanding and interest in education.
PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
Campus Opinion
Governor "Alfaifa Bill" Murray is presidential timber and must answer the call of the people, if we are to believe the printed opinion of the Blue Valley Farmer, an Oklahoma paper. Color in politics is often put to good use. The best example of what it can do is found in the case of "Big Bill" Thompson, who ruled Chicago for twelve years, but he was finally dethroned. And, although Governor Murray has plenty of color in himself and his beliefs and his investigations of one sort or another, he will find it a long step to Washington at his present pace. Then, too, after reading the Blue Valley Farmer farmer, we discover that the sheet belongs to the governor himself.
Editor Daily Kansan;
Our enthusiasm is such that it tends to overflow. But it is not nearly gathered in the folds of a feminine skirt; we have not yet seen it fade into bide behind us, and our tackles have been made openly and signed by the men who wrote this. Is this supposed to be a men's campus? Therefore, we have conducted research to prove that we might look at a "machine learned" in the eye and tell him to go to.
What can you do when a woman is employed, who begins her articles with this insinence remark? 'Being a woman, who not visually interested in men's politics.'

The high feeling over the men's student election being held today is one of the biggest issues on the part of the student body that has happened since last year's W. S. G. A. election when the political applauded for the university with a significant fact here is that the undercurrent of thought by the women was that they would be the whole year before the actual election.
Then she goes on to prove this by painting a beautiful picture of the man's face, a portrait of his picture, like many a painter, is not an original. It is a copy, and a very good copy of some Pacchiaean mind. She has never been able to establish her point that she is not vitally interested in men's politics, this lady goes on to attack the policies of the men she represents, and done, she signs herself—"A. K. Co-ed." She ought to have signed it with "Pacchiaean." but she couldn't, because people, very vintely interested in men's politics.

The mental picture which most meet them have of a W. S. G. A electioneer getting her word in to two young ladies, who she says are not the ones she wears". But hats or no hats the women of the University experienced that crisis last year that the men have met.
The women seemed to have survived the year and almost everyone has fortunate enough to attend a conference.

At the Carnival
When the Earl enters with his attendant, (Ramona Neilt), Princess Helga kisses her father that charges her to an ice beer and throws the key into the water. The rest of the play centers on Helga's family, the Helga's favor, and succeeding slightly when he resorts to Listerine; Helga being entertained by all types of swimmers, dancers, and theater-goers leases by the charming Prince Oswald, (Lillian Petunia) who had won her prize in a competition. The 14 Boosters who first entertained Princess Helga, were perhaps the most popular with last night's audience. The 13 Boosters were also effective and the exhibitions of stars, diamond, wheel and many other formations, showed a well trained group $\mathcal{A}f$
Following the floters, with a alight interval during which Sergid tried to win Helga's love, 12 stunners entertained the Princess. Their costumes were mostly white, but their skirts with clever sketches and necklaces. Their claives dye and unusual strokes

The form swimmers showed perfect time and rhythm when swimming with the music. They also enjoyed the music with the music. All of the eight form swimmers had some specialties and each seemed to surprise the one before. The swimmers who kept their kits made the various types of swimming, such as the breast stroke with the hand raised above the water;
Following the form swimmers, the white bear revealed his identity, and retrieved the key releasing the princess. They both dived into the water from the iceberg and then displayed some beautiful dives and impressive strokes.
The princess is so pleased that she calls in all her attendants and the crew to find a new name, finding a tutor to meet her expectations. Then follows all the demonstrations of diving and racing. This grand spectacle is an extraordinary entire production. The diving by the dolphins showed skill and ability. All types of dives were given, such as front hand dive, back hand dive, somersault and diving through a heap of time. The swan dive as given was well done, the celebration was especially well done and received loud applause. The carwheel was well done and the boat was well done.
