MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1931 HILL POLITICS In a few weeks the annual spring election of the Men's Student council will be held. No date has as yet been set; the constitution merely specifying that it shall be held sometime between April 1 and 21. The exact date is left to the council. For the two weeks preceding the actual election date the student political parties comb the campus and exalt the virtues of their platforms and candidates. At times mid-dueling becomes a highly pleasant diversion for some embryo politicians, and again the greatest secrecy and passiveness is in evidence. This year with three political parties in the field there is much speculation, both in party councils and in student discussion groups as to the tastes to be followed and the results to be expected. As is always the case in any election, the party in power will be called upon to show a record of accomplishment and the opposition will endeavor to point out errors of judgment and shifting of responsibility and general incompetency. For three years there has been but one party on the Hill. There has no reposition. This year there are two opposition organizations but their strength is unknown and methods of attack matters of speculation. What will be the issues? Last year at this time the financial statements of the Men's student council was published and students were led to believe that such would be an annual event each year before election. This year no definite action has been taken on publication of the statement, although practically all members of the present council favor publication. The statement will probably appear in the Kanman in a few days. All men entitled to vote in the spring election should read the statement, discuss its items with those acquainted with the issues involved and decide for themselves what is the best way to vote for the different candidates. H. L. Mencken contends that after a horse, man is the most stupid animal created. Mr. Mencken arrived at that deduction after trying to drive the American people back to drink. The novel, which is assured to popularity, says Sinclair Lewis, must assert that all American men are tall, handsome, rich, honest, and powerful golfers. Nor should those American men, if we may add a note to Lewis's declaration, turn the other cheek. EFFECT OF SUGGESTION ON A NEOPHYTE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS A Kansan editorial writer recently said something about "haloed legs" and all the editors in the state who scan the paper enjoyed the phrase but questioned its clarity. An explanation for that combination of halo and legs might be offered in that the writer had recently been reading Dr. Sinaa Haider, a professor at "Behold America". And it was no wonder the editorial writer connected something weird. An example of Dr. Schmauhausen's English is the following: "America is trapped in a most disturbing dilemma. Progress brazely bragging of the miraculous new technology; poverty trekking the city's street in search of the right—to sell apple." The classes cradled in comfort, curious self-companency as of old; the masses in pain and deprivation, fingering misery as of old. And a deepening gulf between America is a social pyramid, topy-turvy mud on its drunken ape. A land without leaders. A people without vision. Sheer chaos and corruption. Anarchy and lawlessness to boot. The voyage of Odysseus between Scylla and Charybdi. The Kanan editorial writer read that. Then he wrote something about "haloed legs." And he felt so bad over it all that he called the editorial "The Fulfill of Living" and sent it down to the linotype. A Boston clerk has remained a bachelor, although he has issued five hundred thousand marriage licenses. Familiarity, they say, breeds contempt. THE MODEST RATIONALIST Prof. James H. Robinson declares, in his "The Mind in the Making," that we find it hard to believe that other people's thoughts are as silly as our own. Mr. Robinson has, we think, inverted the general supposition. Rather, we generally find it hard to believe that our own thoughts are as faced as those running through the minds of others. Most of us do not belittle our own aleged intellects as easily as does the modest Mr. Robinson; we reason more from egoism than from impersonal abstraction. We observed a headline this morning that read, "Kappa Fifty Years Old." We stopped momentarily to reflect how young looking some of the girls we know from that house are, but we were pleased when we read the news story to find that she was mislead, and that it did not mean the girls' ages at all, but referred to the fact that the Kappa Alpha Theta chapter was celebrating its fifteenth anniversary since its installation. Headline writers should be more careful about giving out such misleading impressions. MISLEADING HEADLINES "Her eyes were turned up to mine and I shall never forget the expression in them, half four, half defiance, half desire, and half love." Excerpt from the Columbus, Ohio, Citizen. Unromantic fellows used to call that kind of girls "four-eyed." POETRY AND LOVE Light verse in this country has never developed as it should, according to the Drifter in his column in the Nation. He advances the possibility that the United States is not in the exact stage of its civilization where good light verse is produced. But it is not only that lighter forms of poetry have remained at a standstill for decades—serious stuff, such as swains once composed for their aneurysm, has almost ceased! One never bears of a young man denoting a sonnet or a lyric to the beauty of 'You young lady's eyes' or to the inspiring sweetness of her voice. Words like "moonlight" and "purple veils of mytism" and "infidelable beauty" and all their mellifluous kind have become cooblete, and the modern vernacular runs to "nice贝贝" and "keen baby" and "hot sugar lump". Nor are those modern words cast in lambic pentameter; if they have any rhythm, it is punctuated with the drone of a motor or the blare of some lately released phonographic record. The days of诗eticizing have known their advance in development; right now they are on the lowgrade. THE RELAYS The University of Kansas is very fortunate in having the sixth largest athletic event in the world, the Kansas Relays. It is regrettable that the relays are not better supported by the students of the University. An enterprise of this magnitude can not be put over by one man or any one group. It requires the support of all the students and faculty. Between now and April 18, the date of the relays, most students will go home for Easter vacation. The Kansan suggests that if these students will keep their friends and relatives at home, it will do much to make the 1921 Kansas Relays a success. It might even be advisable for the promotion manager of the relays to prepare a short relay story for students to take to their home town papers. Water is 26.6 per cent heavier than alcohol, but there is a considerably heavier fine for American citizens caught carrying the latter. The feeling that the capitalist world must reconsider his own economic position is not confined to the United States. Mr. Obama has told us about that, the question exceded Russia. ing about that question except Russia. She has settled it by consigning him to no position at all. Plain Tales The editor, wandering amiselms down Massachusetts street Saturday channeled to meet three young men whose combined title at their fraternity chassus* . The editor joined them, and all four secured themselves in a little box of a room at a local music store to hear the latest photographic re --that "Worries On My Mind." RARE TASTE IN MUSIC --that "Worries On My Mind." "My God!" said the Committee in chorus. Not one of them effaced him. "I also," the editor went on, "like The Committee deported themselves with a noteworthy similarity. They were playing the same instrument, cocked their heads at precisely the same angles. When a particularly choice hit of orchestration occurred, the musicians were frowned on records whose rhythm was more ecophonous than melodious. The sound they produced impressed of being wine connoisseurs who knew a vast gull separated the two from each other, flares and roar of multilayer musicals. They played a tune by Jack Hylan's orchestra called "The King Horses' Horse." Once or twice he imagined he distinctly heard the beat of horsehooves, and then he took it to it. The Committee on Music Purchases frowned. No synchronization doesn't melt, spoke another. The editor did not understand that last result. Nor did the Committee approve of Blue Steel's "Worries on My Mind" and the "Dare to Be Different" lightly appropriate, the unemployment in America, the recent rainfall, the need for the next dava' coy, all these were symbolized both in Stiele's title. A tune by Isiah Jones drew sanguine remarks from the committee. The title had something to do with Love, but he wanted the voice just topping the saxophone in volume, grew tearfully平面. The Committee learnt farther forward than he could, and itself "the editor listen, but no sax effaced itself." "Jones' band," declared another, "hints its violin well, not its cello," and of hinge Jones uses on his violins. "Which records do you care for, the Committee asked the editor. "I like that 'King's Horses'," the edit replied. "The Committee clucked deprecatorily. "We'll hay two records," said the Committee on Music Purchases. Nor were they as harsh as Harsen's "Warriors On My Mind." The editor has decided he has an original taste in music. He gleamed that bit of wisdom from what the Committee on Music Purchases did not buy Our Contemporaries ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ Weather conditions were decidedly more propitious for the recital yesterday by members of the Fine Arts ensemble, which weeks ago on the date originally set for the concert, and a fine audience was present for the program of American concert orchestra. Illness on the part of Don Burrett, Roland Stover, and Karl Brinton made it impossible for the orchestra to play as planned, place of these were an organ number by Charles Wilson and two vocal solos by William Pilman accompanied by Roy Underwood, both of the Fine Art At the Recital The program was one of excellence serving to show some commendable talent among the young men of the group. The students presented extra material from native composers. In addition to the names already mentioned, two additional works were deemed appropriate in piano solos, Boyd Fisher and Robert Milton in voice numbers, both single and in duet, Sol Aaron (Piano), and Gavin Doughty in an organ selection. This program of American music is an annual event on the part of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity known over thirteen country as "Sinfonia". --- --- Have Your Tennis Racket Restrung Now. UNWORTHY? St. Louis Post-Dispatch The occasion was the 250th anniversary of Harvard. President Cleveland was the most distinguished guest at the event, and two members of the Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet tried to get him to accept the degree of Doctor of Law, but he received not a suitable candidate. His own education had been scanty and he "could not possibly figure as a man of letters, scientist or eminent lawyer." The ceremonies proceeded with the man from the White House a spectator and not a participant. This striking incident of the first day that Eliot was disheared the other day on the ninety-fourth anniversary of Cleveland's birth. It reveals a humiliating moment in history. Mayor of his city, Governor of his State, President of his country, in the short span of four years, and "unworthy" public office. A public office was a public trust "not a suitable candidate". Hod Grover Cleveland accepted the degree that day; honor would have been done, but not to Harvard and not to Cleveland.
