ELECTION EVE
On the eve of election day students no doubt are weighing and deliberating the qualifications of the various candidates for office on the three ticker-ets—Duchaucem, Orred-Kayhawk, and Progressive.
The nature of the campaign this spring has been more vitriolic than for the past few years. The amount of propaganda, written and oral, has been increased; so much so that in one instance a party overstepped the bounds of decency in its personal attack of an opposing party's leading candidate. All this personal element which has been injected into the campaign by politicians might in the long run, be called clever by some but at the present time it would appear to be harmful to that party which sponsored the innovation.
The propaganda which has been circulated by word of mouth has included reports that this paper is under the political dominance of one party. Evidence to the contrary, of course, to be found by the reader who persues these columns near election time each spring. We do not enter into the pettiness which characterizes the active bickering of some politicians on this campus. We agree that it must be interesting, to say the leet, to poke at physical characteristics of rival candidates, but it does not strike us to the extent that we think it breathakingly, or my vote-takingly. Fully, stuff is liable to engender defeat for the party which originally sponsored the idea.
Sometimes, very seldom, we become distracted ever campus politics. They are so childish in their manner of approach and attack, at least, some of them are. As is usually the case in such furries, our interest is short-lived. We look behind the scenes, see the skeletons in the closet perhaps, and then return to our knitting of soeks for the feet of tomorrow.
Fees for the Associated Men Students are twenty-five cents. All the parties thus far have overlooked the favorite and most appealing issue—that of tax reduction.
"HOW TO COMMIT A MURDER"
It was a sense of foreboding for the future of American crime restraint that gripped us the other night when we chanced on a college senior perusing the contents of Danny Aheye's erudite book, "How to Commit a Murder." The depression, we recalled that the depression gripping the United States at present is not a heatening condition for the young graduate to face when he begins to consider his means of livelihood. We conjured up pictures of how the press and the pulp magazines have created a vocal about gangsters and their vocation. The senior read Danny's account with parted legs and a furrowed brow; obviously the job of killing people had its engrossing moments. Later, when the book was laid aside, we took it up ourselves, and it is with a great deal of pleasure that we found that Danny's intentions were not so much to prosecute new, gullible goals into the murderer's fold, but to harm them that the whole business has made drawbacks than competencies and that if a man must exist, he can find more worthwhile means of
subsistence than by accepting pay for killing his fellow men.
The truth is that Danny is one of those rare modern authors who llim a moral, and his treatise should be condemned on that score alone.
Ely Culbertson, international bridge champion, has prophesied the decline of auction bridge and prophesied also that contract will supplant it. Wouldn't it be a good idea if husbands and wives would insert a clause in the contract making homicide "no fair?"
PREJUDICE
"Even if it was good I wouldn't like it," was a phrase that Moran and Mack made famous, or, more probably, the phrase that made them famous. It was the aptness of the wording that appealed to so many people. It was expressed just how Mr. Jones felt about pineapple salad, how Mr. Smith felt about communism, and how other people felt about other questions. It was a perfect motto for prejudice, that state of mind in which, even though we can see the good of a thing, we do not like it.
Ann what creates prejudice? Out of any factors there is one which is important—that of generalizing. One sets a member of another race who is inferior in intellect, perhaps tricky and labored. Immediately the whole race scores the stature determined by that member. Sometimes the prejudice ecomes a lasting and unbreakable one. Man sees a woman driver take a dangerous chance and he immediately explains to his passengers that all ones are dangerous drivers, unfit or modern traffic. A citizen reads in its morning paper that a car driven by University students was wrecked. Lauer was found on the driver. The eader's first remark ordinarily is that rinking among college students is becoming marked.
Such a mental process, even by a stretch of imagination, could not be called thinking. It is an effective block to clear thought, and makes it possible for the mind to be shut away from any facts not supporting the contention already held. It would be interesting to see an experiment in which a group of college students made ten statements on controversial subjects which they believed to be true, and then asked to cite incidents which had led them to accept the ideas as true. Unless the group chosen was composed of exceptional students, the results would probably show that the majority of beliefs were supported by insufficient evidence.

STUDY IN SPRINGTIME
"Even in the late术 theory of human reconstruction all the deeper promises have been taken over from this older system of political thought. That system, whenever it was competent—" I've got to do something about that tennis serve of mine, thinks the student. It's getting worse and worse. If I read in here for an hour, I really ought to go out and work on that serve. It's only common sense to get plenty of exercise in the spring. Hn, now let's see.
"That system, when it was competent and honest, had to assume that no man could have more than-"
"That system whenever it is competent and honest—" We wonder if a political system is ever really honest? the student wonders. Guess it could be, and I've got to vote before long. So I'd better be thinking things out. I ought to be carefully considering the issues here on the campus, and weighing the relative merits of the candi dates. That is only my duty as a student in this University, and here I sit, tied to a library desk, slaving over a book I'm not even interested in. That's education—neglecting the vital things, and crowding in the non-essentials. But I've got that quit tomorrow, so here goes.
"Oh, er, hello there. Betty, says the student." "Say, how about going down and having a coke? I've been slaving away in here a long time, and I really need a little bit of relaxation. O. K—be with you just as soon as I check in this book."

THE SPRING CURE
Two months ago much was printed in the newspapers concerning communist demonstrations or the starving farmers. In all these reports it seemed that the police were called upon to quell what promised to develop into cannies; broken arms, skull fractures, and the like.
The sound of the pneumatic hammer which is tearing down the water pressure tower is a constant reminder that Lawrence is gradually going dry.
Now that spring is here once more and the chronic unemployed take to hitch-hiking and to a general scatter, and the farmers can become more assiduous, their disturbances are the country's lot. Once more the world is at peace. Next winter, though, the reports concerning the strong arm of the police rule, and the capitalistic machine. Meanwhile, quiet reigns.
Regular weekly meeting of the W.W.C.A. Cahinet will be held at Henry
house Thursday at 4:30.

Campus Opinion
The men in this University stand back and laugh at the women when election time is around, but from some of the freak stunts and so forth that you see here, there are room to talk if they have even the possibility of opening their mouths. But, then, out of the months of women and babies proceeded wisdom, and being a woman I'll take the laugh and be loudest even when the election is over.
I have been watching with interest the antics of all the political parties and organizations, columns have been used to put out propaganda concerning the activities of each, (and being a strong supporter of the right wing) and they used the right medium) I am still in doubt about the qualifications as some of the men who are candidates in this election.
I am positive on one point, that the qualification of one candidate has been over stated, should I say, to make it appear less glaring. There is a long list of qualifications that I must appear much so far. But when the matter of qualifications are used for his prominence and glory of the candidacy, to distinguish them and to make them good hats, I think that it is better to put in a less congenial manner.

Editor Daily Kansan:
birthright, if must be, to have his name flaunted before the campus in bold face type as a mity politician, as a person of dogged, unprincipled aggressiveness, and as a penner of otit and m屁representation, in saying that he must be "unwitting," in saying that he must be "unwilling" of his personal characteristics under the description of a "puppet, a ludicrous, punishy figure that swayed (also) Pachacutan politics and Pachacutan politicians who pulled the strings at opportunity moments." Mr. Lowder will be my student and my matr university deency and intelligence.
I trust Mr. Lowder will file a suit at law for civil libel and cacket the actions of Pachacutan Regardless of the merits of the campaign—which are, so far as I see, that one party is in and the others would not be in order. —Frank McClelland.
