MARCH 30,1931 HEROISM The recent storm and tragedy of the school children in the Summit Hill bus at Lamar, Colorado, shows one of the most inspiring traits of human nature, although it is usually in such a terrible tragedy that such things are brought out. Practically everyone has in him something great. Whether that something will ever be known depends on circumstances which make or break members of the human race. In an hour when the need arose for someone with judgment, someone who could take command of a tragic situation, a 13-year-old youth, who was himself freezing, acted with the same expedition that those who have fought the cold many times during the years de. He slapped the children, and kept them in motion. He would not let them go to sleep, although it would have been easier for him to do so. All of the children in that bus run to heroism in the terrible storm. If they are never heard of again, they have done their share. Many of the great men and women of today have not shown such courage in the face of a disaster as certain and as terrible as that which overtook the unsuspecting school children and sent horror and grief into many homes over the country. Martial and marital are easily confused words, a fact which has a better explanation than their similarity in spelling. TWO IDOLS Within 16 hours death claimed two of the most powerful forces of the baseball world, Ernest S. Barnard, president of the American League, and Byron Barnett Johnson, founder of the league. Barnard and Johnson were little enemies in their later years. But when Barnard became president of the American league he and Landis harmonized perfectly and peace again reigned in the baseball world. The baseball world mourned the passing of its two chiefs. Baseball will continue, but the successor to the president of the American League will have much to do to match the achievements of the two idols of baseball. semmar Wagner says ironically that three years is not enough time to persuade Hoover that the very ideas for which he is supposed to have stood are valid. Mr. Wagner must remember that the President has long had a reputation for being conservative. WHY NOT? To some people college is a place to spend money and make "whoopee." Others it is an institution where girls and boys learn to conduct themselves as ladies and gentlemen. To others still it is a place where people come to get a "liberal" education. Students are to a certain degree limited in the expression the natural emotions of collegiate life in the classroom and on the Hill. They do have the liberty to act as "high school" students at a variety dance. Why not? The colored band which played for the Owl Screech Saturday night is one of the best entertaining orchestras in the country. They can sing, play, and clown. When the piano player, the only woman in the hand, sang, everybody stopped dancing and gathered in close to listen and watch the "blue" singer. When she finished a piece the crowd yelled, clapped, and screamed for more. Why not? The party was by no means formal. It could hardly have been such with the type of music that the band furnished. Students have had several years it which to prepare themselves for college. After graduation many marry into money and others are fortunate enough to inherit a profitable business, but many more are thrown into the cold cruel world to find means of livelihood. The years after college are the times when people do not have time to make "whoopee." Freshmen in school have not learned the tricks of the trade. Seniors seem too dignified or reserved to exploit such sons of "yongsters" as yelling after a peppy number by the band. Now is the time to have your fun. Most students do not realize that until after it is too late. There are four years in which one may indulge in making "whoopee" at a dance. Many do not think it is proper to conduct themselves like children or act boisterous at a vauvet. But there is more years in which one may imagine in "whopee" at a dance. Many do not think it is proper to conduct themselves like children or act bisterous at a vairity. But there is more fun, excitement, and entertainment when students give an orchestra a "big" hand. It used to be said that a man could et al along without the use of his stomach, but those wise words were uttered before the modern flapper proved that mother's cooking was so good it evinced a comment. Of course not all of college is play. Some never dance or to a movie, but those who do attend variates have a chance now to be themselves. At least for a short time. Why not? SUMMERFIELD SPORTSMANSHIP 4 Yesterday 200 brilliant high school students took the preliminary Summer-feld elimination examination. Some 30 members of that large group of extraordinary students will emerge successful and will be eligible to the final examination, which will be passed by ten of the most outstanding students in the state. One seldom thinks of the mental strain which it takes to enter a contest as important to the future as the winning or losing of the Summerfield scholarship is to many of the high school sensors. It may be that without the money they will not be able to continue in the search for knowledge, or it may mean that if they do there will be a long hard grind ahead of them. It takes sportmanship, and nerve and determination to enter the elimination contests for Summerfield scholarships. "Little Known of Shadespear." "I tell the truth, we admit we have never even heard of Mr. Shadespear." GENIUS YEARNS Guy Maiser, who recently appeared at the University in joint piano recital with Lee Pattison, is not the only talented one in his family. "Here we go sliding down the street. 'It's better to slide than to walk on our feet.' His two sons, Bob and Ted, aged five and six respectively, have written and illustrated a book of songs, "Song Cargo," which G. Schierner is going to publish for practical use in schools. Nickels furnished the inspiration—Father promised five cents for each verse, melody, and illustration, and the boys fell for the bait. Here are some samples of their work: The Star gave an airplane photograph of the future Kansas City Art Gallery. When the gallery opens some people won't have to be in an airplane to feel above some of the cubistic paintings. FRED BURKE—GUNMAN HERO— Fred Burke, killer and gentleman of fortune, has been captured, and now he is in Michigan to await trial for one of the many murders which he has committed. FRED BURKE—GUNMAN HERO— not since Loeb and Leopold did their sensational "job" has there been such a story in this section of the country. Never in the memory of Kansas youth has there been a criminal heiress as source has been. The news accounts tell of his stolish attitude, and of the apparent desire he had to be good. The publicity would lead any schoolboy criminal aspirant to want to be Fred Burke, notorious killer—"hero of Chicago gang war." The news accounts have failed to play up the manner in which the gumman wannied, killed the way, in which he pried his way into a respected Missouri farm community, and double-crossed a law-abiding family. The lack of conscience of the man is not shown. The subnormal traits of a person who cannot even appreciate the seriousness of his situation is not brought out. The desperate unhappy tragedy of trying to elude the police for two years is only mentioned. Burke, the abnormal, cold blood killer is hardly mentioned. The man whom a million dollars could not keep from the police is made a hero for young gangland. A. Kansas City Star correspondent says the marines are much snappier in appearance than the average seaman. So is their line of chatter, if one is to judge by the dialogue in the recent talk, "Tell it to the Marines." FEATHERED YARNS Plain Tales Governor Wooding's proclamation a bird day calls to mind some of the unlikely favorite bird stories. One is about "Natty" Crow, who pecked on the back porch roof every morning at $ for his breakfast. He always said for no one could until he did. Natsy try to wait for us children, while we were in school. He would petch on an iron fence across the road, and when we came out set up a squawking and follow us home. We squawked and followed on a clothes rock in the basement. Nytty were out eat of anything, including your hand, and an angry gritty thing. And bright things that he could carry off in his beak. He pushed them down a crevice in an old window. One day Father and a friend were lying on a steep bank near the house. They went up to the pocket and lay in the grass. Nanny, who had been played around, flowed over to the kitchen and ran across the pocket it poked down Father's pocket. When it was out of sight, he carefully pulled it from the pocket. Then there was Cyron the Cuckoo. Mother found him when he was just twelve years old and planted a tree by a storm. She took him into the house, and Loud worm dug for him. The family is very fond of Snoddy, the tiger cat, and her new kittens, but it doesn't like robin. She snagged a slaughtered robin around the corner of the barn. She had climbed up on the bird stand and taken a trusting photo with Shame, Snoddy, to play Mati Harl! Cyrus was brownish colored, with a yellow beak. Behind an American bird, he didn't really cuckoo, as the foreign birds do. Instead, he wished he could cry. When he grew larger the loops thought should be taught to fend for himself, so they tried putting him outside. Cyrus didn't take very well to the ideas, however and comedied, and left him in the bush, a snow covered corn and carried poor Cyror off. Our Contemporaries This writer asked a young lady, who's just reached her eighteenth birthday, to write about the week-end party given by Harvard law and medical students, supposedly the victims. ARE COLLEGIANS PEOPLE? Some rolllicking new acts are added to the Prohibition Follise of 1851. Collegeans are coming in for their share, and some are being beaten up, pence seventeen students for drinking. Five University of Michigan fraternity houses have been padlocked with student locks. Three of the three men students were expelled from the University of Oregon for drinking. The names of the three men students were ignored; thatope that they would feel disgraced. Names of the girls were withheld. We don't know why. There's no sex distinction in college. The thing we can't understand is, why discriminate against students? Most young people between ages 12 and 18 are more civilized sections of the country. That can't be denied. Clemsa and totes girls aren't afraid of being out on a Saturday night party. They're only fired if they don't appear at work. But they're trained for training at a livelihood, simply because they drink—whether they crack shells or not. What stupid non- "Lots of it," she replied. Political faculties seem to think they frighten students into being good little drills. They don't know students. Every time they can a student for taking a course, the students drink just to show they're helers. That's human nature and that's. The annual ALEE banquet will be held Wednesday, April 1.

Progressives have openly proclaimed that their purpose is political and not a group interested in the campus and social benefit of the campus. Students show that. Down in the bourbon state of Kentucky a state university student was expelled from school because she threatened to turn dry informer. That was natural. Fraternity would end if a brother couldn't mix ginger ale and the manks without another brother rushing to the phone and calling Professional drys make a great fuss over the fact that a few of the expelled students were bootleagues.

In the old days, students helped in poorer to get an education by giving them a backslash; they patronize them as bootleggers, a modern development of the old kindly —New York News The most sensible view from a college professor we've heard come from is that the students don't say "Dad's mouth." They shouldn't陪 college students back home, said country club老板, he said. He's right. Campus Opinion When I came on the campus three years ago, I discovered that the students of Kansai had a part in the government. This fact did not completely evidence itself until the spring of my freshman year. We then granted them their platform grided with meaningless promises and colored with a tinge of hyperity and mud-sliding in the school. The Black Mack party, its last furer with the abatement of the Black Mack party, a fraternal organization. The Pachamanus party, their second cross, equitable representation. For the last two years, this group has governed the university's maternity room at the Black Mack party. If R.C. will call at the Kansan office this queries will be answered. The Political Vortex This article comes as a brain child to an embryo high school politician. My political sagacity has received little regard from the opposing party. I have had no offers of membership in their elite gatherings; I am merely writing this tribute in commendation of a non-fraternity group who had the stamina to profess themselves. This year the political situation of Mount Orcad has discovered a new vein. The Black Masks have reorganized under the name of Orcad behind their screen of equitable representation, the Kayhawks have come forward with a desire for better athletic and social conditions, while even in the last week we have the introduction of a fourth student in our group of students I say my respects. THELMA WILCOX, President. Non-fraternity men, we have for years striven for some means of representation in this so-called student government. We have put our trust in the university to back an organization which stands flat-footed denying any another motives of alliance with the fraternities. It is not at all surprising that proceed upon is to comment Charles Lowder and his followers, and then work diligently and indefatigably for a whole-hearted nonfraternity ticket.
