AN ELISION
To the casual observer, the main difference existing between the politics of the Hill and the politics of the nation is the careful availability of any reference to the prohibition issue on the part of our camp wizard leaders. It is true that the Republicans are hard to find a method whereby they can evade the discontent that Veolestael measure has evoked on the part of the many; and the Democrats, by recent reports, are in a constant turbulence concerning their stand on the liquor issue. Despite the fact that illicit transportation of liqueur has given the University more publicity than did the Tarr-Bauch embroggled last fall, the question—admittedly a political and administrative one—has been carefully relegated to an inconspicuous place, so inconspicuous that it is not mentioned at all.
Such a maneuver is generally known as political diplomacy. Or again, the overlooking of the liquor situation might be called, as professors in English are wont to say, an elision. Perhaps the writers of the Kayahawk, Pachacanue, and Oread parties platforms have taken it for granted that there is only one side of the force where they can stand, and that is on the dry side, with their nostrils carefully lifted to avoid any incriminating odors that might drift to them. If this be true, it is a wise move, for the exigencies of recent circumstances could admit no other premise, considering that Kansas has always been a dry state and its university a law-allying institution. Still, to many of the casual observers, it would have been comforting had each party declared a mutual desire to aid in the observance of the Eighteenth amendment.
Mayer Jimmy Walker of New York, who journeyed to California for a tuning, perhaps has found that he could just as well have stayed at home.
KANSAS AT A GLANCE
While attitudes and thought in many states are often controversial, conflating, and fluctuating in nature, the mjind-majority of Kansas may be obtained by reading a report of the findings of the Kansas clubwomen who met this week in Kansas City, Kan.
The first resolution adopted by the clubhouse—civic leaders in their respective localities—was for favoring religious training in the public schools of the state.
The resolution:
"Resolved—That religious education is favored in our schools; the student, however, being privileged to have his choice of denomination."
Other resolutions by the clubwomen endorsed the efforts being made to aid unfortunate and crippled children, the World Court, the Women's Overseas Service League, and the George Washington Bicentennial commission. Also, unsightly billboards along highways and in cities were subjected to criticism.
The resolution on religious education caused some comment. The Kansas law on religious education is rather vague in definition and documentation.
teem. Courts have that this does not har the Lord's Prayer and reading the Psalm. A course known as the week-day religious education is endorsed in several of the larger cities, such as Kansas City, Kan. Children are permitted to leave their regular classrooms several hours a week to attend a school conducted at a nearby church of their choice. The money appropriated for education is not used in the religious work.
Scholarship and art endeavors were reported on at the convention of club-women. One member presented a plan for raising money to buy pictures to present to various state districts which have excelled in their years' art programs. Her plan was that "every club member in the state should give a penny a year."
No resolution was offered on probi-
bation. As far as that question in Kana-
sis is concerned the women maintained
that it was "settled."
The young woman who attempted b to get Ester candy out of a college man may be a good "gold digger," but she is a poor geologist.
BOYHOOD DAYS
Spring days like these bring back memories of the activities of the Knot-hole gang at such a season. Then It was that the local, semi-professional baseball teams began to warm to their hearts' desire on the new greenery of the 'Common' ball diamond.
The Commons was not an impressive looking field. It was beside the rail road yards, and the fars paid to sit it its rickly grandstand where they att frankfurters and drank colored sod pop. Sometimes they got cinders in their eyes and smoke blackened their faces, due to the energy of nearby switch engines. But all this was acceptable because of the fact that a baseball game was progressing out front. Far business men exherted, perplexed and argued, while the sun's spring rays heated the tin roof of the grandstand above them.
The Knothole Gang did not have the price to sit beside the steaming fans who made money during the week and spit it on Sunday at betting at the Commons. But there were several reasons for this, beside the fact that members of the gang had no money. After all, they didn't care to sit in the stands; they now life through the knothole of 13-year-olds, and it was better through that lens. Then, too, they had duties to perform which made it necessary for them to remain outside the grandstand. Every foul ball or home run was a signal for much vigor and co-operation on their court.
The boys called it "appropriating," and, in a sense, it wasn't exactly stealing. In a 13-year-old's judgment, a baseball in his hands got longer usage, more care, and—if the ball were a live being—would probably enjoy itself more in his kind hands. Basketball in
Occasionally trouble was encountered by members of the fast-running Knothole Gang. Once it was that the brevity of "Stubby's" legs cause his downfall. He was collared by a fast outfielder who unexpectedly chased him following a home run in which the baseball was sent flying over the center field fence into the youth's eager hands. The outfielder marched "Stubby" clear in to the home plate where, before hundreds of eyes, the outfielder then deprived the led of the stolen baseball.
utmost extent of their durability.
So it was that every ball which cleared the tin fence encircling the Commons diamond had a very good chance of becoming part of the equipment of the Knothole Gang, an amateur athletic emergency club which met every Saturday afternoon on the sand lot opposite the home where lived "Stubby Rose." Appropriated baseballballs went to "Stubby" eventually, for that had laid a dandy place to hide them under the steps of his back porch, safe from his mother's eyes. Baseballballs obtained from the Commons helped greatly, too, in keeping baseball fouling as an all-year sport in that neighborhood. Basketball was making its wintry invades on the youthful public, but basketball still was regarded primarily as the all-season sport, even "bough devised for summer play.
time for "Stubby" to graduate from the restricted age of those who belonged to the club, but, anyway, "Stubby" thereafter brooded over the incident. He began, too, to save his pennies for the time when he could actually purchase baseballs for his contributed stock in the Knothole Gang membership.
Only seven University of Kansas women plan on being home makers, according to a recent survey. Did the report, we ask, contain a count on the home wreckers?
STUDENTS PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE
ANCE
As students sit down to their meal these days, their faces betray a worries mind. This great American institution is engaged in a mighty civil warle. An individual must understand, and even his brow might knit in painful reflection as he reads the news.
One great faction of the body politic, the proletariat, shudders as it gages upon that fearful-looking name which symbolizes the Greek civilization of the institution. Pacchacamate? Wbe to proletariat America if the Pacchacamates win the coming election! And each night a great body of people kneel fervently at their bedside.
The other great mass of citizen, the aristocracy, look with equal fear upon that great allied party, primarily barricade. Suppose the election should go barbaric! Visions of horror fill the minds of the aristocracy. And each eight a great body of people kneel fervently at their bedhides.
Then, all shudder together when they imagine the Progressives at the helm of University politics. The very name snacks of Bolshevism, and all the chasms of a "Real" civilization. Americans quickly turn the page or shut their eyes when they see the word "Progressive." And each night all the people drop to their knees in vehement rebuttal.
SUNDAY MOTION PICTURES
Kansas authorities are experiencing trouble again with motion picture operators who are projecting Sunday movies in violation of the labor law which prohibits them on the Sabbath. The attorney general's office, in a conference with a motion picture chain, told the cinema operators that the Kansas "hilary law" would not be overlooked, and that the chain operators could not defend themselves by protesting that others were violating the same law. Ouster proceedings against the chain may be the result of the long conference in Topeka.
Motion picture shows do operate in Kansas and have done so for years. Occasional flares on the part of the ministry have been the only interruptions in the course of the celluloid entertainment. In Kansas City, Kan., where the shows are in direct competition with those of Kansas City, Mo., the Sunday law has never been enforced. It would hurt local trade, and without much trouble from the pulp, the Kansas side shows are allowed to operate. The Kansas blue law is effective only in the smaller cities in the state; that is in these places where the ties of the church are so close to the municipal administration that operation of Sunday show is precluded. And the violators, in the event that their cases are brought to trial, are usually fined $1 and police court costs on the charge. Thus is shown the impracticability of the law. It is not unlike a good deal of legislation which is not enforced, but continues to clutter statute books and make for petty troubles simply because no legislator feels courageous enough to move for its abolition.
A PINK DECEPTION
Plain Tales
The first glorious course of sunburn for the season was almost discovered in a recent afternoon gymnasium class for University women.
A bevy of girls stood around a red-hairied mist, audibly admiring her. The girl, it was discovered, had appealed so strongly to the others that she had a pink head—the cruel but desirable breaking of that summer coat of tan.
Finally someone thought to ask where she could have received it. Had she been to Cuba over Easter? Finally, she asked the man she conceived that the pink hue was not coress
