THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1931 VETERANS AND THEIR BONUSES The long file of veterans who received their bonuses in Kansas City recently summons an unpleasant reminder of the World War, its mortal sacrifices "for democracy's sake," and the general economic upheaval which followed. The veterans who received their compensation were, generally speaking, a forlorn lot. Their has been an unfortunate generation in many respects. While many of them had an active part in the making of the lurid event in the history of the world, the dignity of man itself has been lost in the passing of twelve years. Others died—a good many at that—to contribute to the same sanguinary epic. In marked contrast to their able bodies fourteen years ago, the veterans in the bonus line did not represent serried ranks that would awaken a vision of militant beauty, but rather a disparaging picture of poverty. Many of them had abandoned their downtown apple stands to wait impatiently in the long line for their compensation checks. A good many have spent time in veteran hospitals, never to be quite satisfied or cured. A resilient lot, made so by the unfortunate date of their advent into this world, which marked them for sacrifice. WILSON'S EIGHT YEARS "Cars Collide on Street."-Headline Lawrence Journal-World. They might have chosen the alley. In the Forum for March Harold J Laski, in an article entitled "Woodrow Wilson after Ten Years," presents a man of idealism who, as other leaders of his time, was incapable of understanding the essential environment of his age. But in contrast to the trend of modern biographies he has not accounted for Wilson's idealism as a selfish, egotistical manifestation. He says of Wilson, "He remains unquestionably the greatest figure among the statement of the war. No other was moved by ideals so high or so selfless; no other represented so wholly the intricate aspirations of the men and women and helplessly suffered the results of a conflict for which they had no responsibility. His ambitions were for great causes, and he spent himself relentlessly in their service." It is refreshing to find an author who can look at a man who was undoubtedly over estimated in his time, and write of his purposes and accomplishments in an unbiased and honest manner without dragging his character's motives through slime. "Movies Part Song Trio"一Headline Another one of these movie triangles. ELECTIONEERING The W. S. G. A. has centered its interest on the electionering among organized groups, and has reiterated its determination to do all in its power to check it. The practice is regrettable, and the attempts of the council to force an answer that is an important phase of the whole problem is being overlooked. There is an appalling indifference among women generally regarding the election and its results. This state of lethargy alone is responsible for the existence of the combination of groups. A widowake student body, interested and informed, would preclude the possibility of such combinations by numbers alone. The average woman on the campus has little chance of knowing more than a few of the candidates. She does not know what offices they have held, or how efficiently the offices have been filled. There is little chance of her learning either the scholastic stand or the extra-curricular record of any nominee. As a result of this lack of knowledge, comparatively few women vote at all. Who do vote use a system of blind choice, and the result of ballots cast by such voters is no more indicative of public sentiment than a vote controlled by an organized machine. The solution of the whole problem does not stop with muzzling the activities of organized groups. It must go a step farther and work out some means by which each candidate can be identified, and her qualifications for office presented. A printed sheet, containing pictures and records of all candidates, carefully verified by the council, would enable women to vote intelligently. A women's conventation at which candidates could be introduced and records presented would serve the same purpose. What is needed is more campaigning which will supply voters with accurate information, and arouse their interest. Few women, except those in organized groups, have any interests in the election as it is now managed, but the attitude would be different if women could vote on candidates whose ability were public property, and whose ability could be judged without prejudice. A Kansas City motorist drove up to the Lawrence Fire Department to have the fire in his car extinguished. Big town men can't get away from the idea of "curb" service. OUT-OF-STATE TUITION The proposed bill before the Kansas legislators wherein out-of-state students must pay tuition from 200 to 400 per cent, higher than heretofore brings in the question of administrative rights versus legislative rights. Previously the legislature of Kansas made no attempt to regulate fees; the matter has been decided by the administrations of the state schools themselves. Appering yesterday before the house committee on education the Board of Regents of the University of Kansas convinced the members of the committee that the original bill demanded fees that were too high, and suggested, if the bill be considered at all, that a less steep tuition rate be imposed upon "foreign" students. Rather than increase the sum from 200 to 400 per cent, the Board of Regments proposed a chart of fees whose increase would be about 35 per cent in the case of the state university and even less in the cases of the Kansas Aggies and the various state teachers' colleges. An obvious injustice to the university is evident in the original bill. With the present high percentage of its students from other states, a fee of $300 would seriously reduce the present student body. Moreover, a state university, unlike other state colleges, draws heavily from surrounding states in college and faculty personnel, and its enrollment in its professional schools has a preponderance of out-of-state men and women. WILL ROGER'S HUMOR AND DROUTH REGIONS Wil Rogers has always possessed a pliancy of mind that could observe tragedy or comedy and remain whimselfly flappery. His flippancy has a sound reasoning enhanced by his dry humor. But since his championship of the drouth areas, his dispatches to the press have taken a serious tone; his occasional allusions to American dignitaries, both temporal and historical, have been less the work of a humorist than that of a man daily observing crazies in thousands of human lives. One cannot infer from his seriousness that it is the first face-to-face meeting he has had with tragedy, but the fact is evident that conditions are so heart-rending in the drouth states that even Wil Rogers, of the incomparable sense of humor, has laid aside his smiles, and spoken clearly and forcibly to inform the rest of the nation of the intolerable conditions he has witnessed. There will be a meeting of the council of religious workers Friday afternoon at 4:30 in Myers hall. All members are urged to be present.

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR 1981-32; DOROTHY DURKEE, Chairman. Applicants for scholarships for the year 1931-32 should see the chairman of the committee on scholarships in room 310 Fraser hall on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of this week and next week from 11:30 to 12 o'clock, or telephone for an appointment. E. GALLOL, Chairman. THE NEW ESTEINE Dr. Charles Gray Shaw, professor at the New York University and author of a best seller on culture, believes that women are swiftly outdistingmen in esthetic matters. "In another generation women will supplant men in creative culture. Today our men of culture are all women," he declares. He believes that if men attend to business matters, and grant women the sole rights in artistic fields, we shall eventually see the women in a dictatorial THE NEW ESTHETIC WOMAN role culturally. If time does effect such a phenomenon, men can blame themselves. They emancipated women; they instigated modern art, they even began reading books written by Fannie Hurst, Edna Ferber, and Sheila Kaye-Smith before the cultural lag occurred. American inventors freed women from household drudgery with labor-saving devices. Advertisers discovered that eighty per cent of the money spent in a family was disburzed through the wife, and advertised accordingly. And now that women are going to dictate the books men should read, the paintings men should observe, and the drama worthy of men's attendance, the criticism of European visitors of the masculine gender, that the American man gives his womenkind too much freedom, will be hard to refute_until the European woman becomes emancipated. SALARY CUT FOR TEACHERS Kansas has always prided herself with the fact that her schools were free from political influence. If the measure to cut teachers' wages goes through and becomes a law her pride will be hurt. Both students and teachers have come to Kansas schools because they were independent institutions and had flexible control. Because the schools of Kansas have always been treated fairly and been free from political influence, there is no organization of the schools which has sufficient stability and background to fight the political control. If lower salaries come into effect it will mean the lowering of the standard of teachers and of scholarship in the school eventually. It is not only the teacher who will suffer; but the school and the students will eventually pay the price. MOSCOW RECORDS INCREASE IN STREET CAR ACCIDENT Moscow—(UP)—An average of 55 street car accidents daily is Moscow's record for the new year. In 1830 there were 5,600 street car collisions and 3,200 cases in which people lost their lives. Of the cars, the statistics showed 1,400 casualties as against 1,000 the year before. PEWTER Campus Opinion The New Republic of March 4 calls attention to the fact that almost 10,000 college students throughout the country have signed petitioned circles circulated by the League or Industrial Democracy League. The American tax-supported colleges and schools. This is a number about 12 per year. A total membership of R. O. T. cubs. Attempts to seduce the country into militaristic preparedness are being made under John Dewey, before, as John Dewey has pointed out, and in 1914, as the New Republic says, "the United States must have a leader who must submit to this training for the war they are beginning to express our organization."
