SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1931 ONE AMONG US DIES Two days ago he attended classes with the other several thousand of us; today, Harold Fulcomer's friends and parents are stricken into a temporary coma with news of the youth's sudden death. A motor car plunges over an unguarded cliff drive, claiming one life and endangering that of two companions. And then, that eternal inference of intoxicants which is so weary and instantly raised following such student tragedies is heard. Fulcerone was one of many in this University, and yet even those who can't recall his face among the young feel deeply touched by the tragedy which has visited his parents and circle of friends. Something incredibly terrible enter the mind which attempts to comprehend sudden disasters of this sort. Student youth, promising, and with so much of the benefits of future to reap, suddenly dies, substituting with despair and sorrow what should have been joy and richness of life. SILHOUETTE Helen Rowland says lots of women can't seem to enjoy a lively conversation nowadays. Miss Rowland should see and hear four fraternity house mothers playing a hand of bridge. Vanity is not the sole agent in providing fat people to reduce. Michael Gombutz of Yonkers, New York, weighed 144 pounds two months ago. Today he has trimmed himself down to a more 361 pounds, and continues in his efforts to make his figure more stylish-like. Michael, you see, wanted a job digging diets, but he was no round he couldn't get into the average ditch. Michael, in a way, was born too late. He might have been able to squeeze into the ditch the American Government built down in Panama some years ago. But some of the other labers would have had to go down a year ahead of Michael and widen the excavation before the Yonkers' ditch-digger could have entered. A news report states that wool men meet in Kansas City. We were always under the impression that wool men gathered. CORDUROY TROUSERS Students at Washington and Jefferson College went on strike Thursday, demanding the removal of President Simon S. Baker. Asserting that President Baker discriminates against football and basketball players to such an extent that he forces them to maintain a higher scholastic average than students not engaged in athletics, the striking students also contend that he insists on enforcing "childish" rules. The Washington and Jefferson men are especially incensed over the presidential edict that corduroy trousers should not be worn. If the conditions at Washington anne Jefferson may be taken as an indication of eastern university, then the middle western colleges offer a startling comparison. Every commotion that has arisen in the region of the Mississippi river over athletics has been to denounce the favoritism offered varsity men. The subdivision hubbub is an excellent example. And as for clothing, corduroys are regarded with considerable respect by officials in middle western schools. They illustrate, as President Hoover might say, a "rugged individualism." At least they offer serviceability, economic wear, and a certain amount of democracy. Officials barred a new plot at Joliet prison, showing that you can't keep everything behind the prison walls no matter how vigilant the guards may be. THE LIQUOR SITUATION The University of Kansas, just emerging from the criticisms evoked as a result of the liquor scandal in February, again finds the public's scrutiny cast upon it. The three undergraduates arrested Saturday morning for the transportation of liquor not only violated the Prohibition law, but ignored the recent pledge signed by all fraternity men to aid in enforcement. No course is more despicable than one whereby a "holier-than-thou" attitude is taken; indeed there are undoubtedly hundreds of Kansas undergraduates who are not unsympathetic with those three boys in their present plight. We must face that fact. Not can we, as a student body, and as citizens of the United States know helping the eighteenth amendment is regarded by millions of our countrymen as a severe abridement of personal freedom. But it remains that the Voltest Act is a law; that its enforcement is the duty of authorities, and that abiding by it is an honest token of loyalty to the country's mandates. Those facts cannot be hedged. Students drink on this campus, always have, and there is little reason not to suppose that they will always. When an individual right is curtailed, like the law against drinking, there are many men whose first reaction is to say, "No law can tell me what I eat drink and what I cannot drink." Centuries of gregourness have not been eradicated. All of it comes through co-operation. In regard to the whole matter, diplomacy on the part of the student body might be to remain silent. Being diplomatic is often just that; but the frequency with which this course is resorted to often defeats its original purpose. The University Daily Kannan is a student organ, dedicated to the promotion of student interests and student welfare. No editorial opinion could portray the composite views of all the students on the Hill; but without doubt the most common and evident attitude by the student body is that the three violators foolishly jeopardize their own good name, their school careers, and the integrity of the University. "Horse slaughter to go on"-headline. We always were under the impression that most of the "prime baby beef" steaks we get might be horse meat. CHASTITY AND PAJAMAS Every person who has slept on a sleeping porch knows that pajamas must be of good heavy weight to stand the rigors of the cold wintry nights and the incessant blasts which sweep over he Hill. When a group of women wear pajamas down to a restaurant and order a bite to eat the incident occasions comment from the lordly males, and the more retiring members of the masculine species pine away in seclusion, lamenting the passing of coyness and madly deocrum. Such thinking is a traveness of common ense. Why then should a group of sisters be censured if they walk down to Baby's on some balmy evening wearing their pajamas? When they are wearing the pajamas they are wearing plenty of clothes. Even the voluminum petticoats of other generations were not so all-enveloping. The impression that a woman has no legs is not left by a paleness, of course, but who wants to think of women as bureaues or boxes, or something like that? "King Hemp Off Throne."—Headline. Probably taking a stretch. It's all in the state of the mind; shuffle the deck and deal, old fellow. If all the jaws in the cafeteria could be heard to move, Mrs. Evans would have to hire a brass band.

"RED" LEWIS AND "TED" DREISER Sinclair Lewis was born in the town of Sauk Center, Minnesota. He was red-handed and lanky as a youngster. He grew into his manhood, had an urge to write, and gave way to it. His first stuff was ordinary. Some people said his later work went well, but back 12 or 13 years did he a novel, called it "Main Street," and people got stirred up over the realism of it. He followed with "Babbitt," the tale of a fat man that name who moulded moral words, and had a little winding pole for a soul, and much civic pride. Lewis got acclaim. His公民度™, rated very highly indeed by some critics, followed. Then he did a job and called it "Elmer Gantry." Elmer was a preacher by trade, but after Lewis got done with him you knew his destiny was hell despite his theological background. Folks got pretty well increased about Elmer and also about Elmer's author. Many citizens thought the red-head was not doing right by our American doctrines, political, municipal, matrimonial, and theological. Some folks said he might read the Bible and put the principles outlined in it to good use. HATS By Mrs. Ackerman ACKERMAN Hat Shop 1017 Mass. Bring to you the latest Paris-New York Styles Ted and Red went to a party the other night. Red said something. Later Ted slapped Red. Red deliberately and with mallice aflohoreth repeated his original speech. Once again Ted slapped Red. They both turned and walked away. Theodore Dreiser was born some where in Indiana of German parents. He was sandy-haired and lanky. He grew into his manhood, had an urge to write, and gave way to it. His first stuff were censured. He did a job called "Sister Carrie that is quite poignant to some and quite shocking to others." Then he wrote "The Genius" and "The Titan" and several more. He wrote long involved sentences and long involved paragraphs and long involved books about elemental things and thoughts and actions. His heroes always had a terrible time. His heroines led a tough life. His villains always succeeded in amassing a good lot of material things like money and property, but he led you to think that was not so hot because if a fellow got happiness that was better than money. Finally he did a job called "An American Traugdy?" and to read it you had to lay aside two or three bottles, drink lots of black coffee, skip ropes, and stop occasionally to think about the sunshine. You had to do that because if you hadn't you would have felt very low indeed. Critics said Dreiser was the Dean of American novelists, but no college Dean was ever so long-winded as Dreiser could be once he beg writing. Red must have studied the Bible to think of turning the other cheek. But he must not have read Miss Post on proper after-dinner conversation. He must be a very funny red-head, in- A Sunday Chicken Dinner for 35c leed, not to have punched Mr. Dreiser n return. Again-at Ted is proof that even long-winded people are capable of springing into action. GEORGE'S Place at 1011 Mass. St. MID-WEEK DANCES Stages are now charged fifteen cents at the mid-week dances. This, it is said, is a measure adopted to reduce the number of stags attending. at sab the number or stage安排. The Union controlling committee has promised free dances and has sold Union membership on the strength of this and other promises. It may be admitted that any man who comes to the dance ought to bring his partner rather than expect to cut in on other couples. But if a charge is necessary in order to get an orchestra, then let us admit in plain words that we do not have free dances on the Hill. MECCA OF NIGHT LIFE: RENO Roulette wheels, fare tables, dice and poker tables, devices for throwing away money; and divorce courts, devices for throwing away spouses—with a list of drawing cards like this. Reno should soon become the most popular city in America. The mayor heralds the event of the legalization of the gambling houses as a return to the days of the "old West." Somehow with the "old West," one did not associate the Nevada divorce machine. In those days the daughters went down to the saloon to drag "dear father" home, while mother sat by the cold hearth and wept, but she never thought of separating from her husband. Now all those things are gone. In Reno, mother, father and daughter gamble, and drink. Mother, father, daughter, and daughter's husband all bundle into the family car and rush to the little Nevada divorce mill to gamble, play and find new mates. But then in a day like this maybe gambling in hobbies and wives would be legal even in the "old West." Try a Delicious Barbecued Beef or Barbecued Pork Sandwich at The Night Hawk U.
