TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 3. 1951 NOT A TRUE GENTLEMAN FROM THE SOUTH J. Thomas Helfin, antagonist of religious tolerance, sportsmanship, evolution, and all phases of culture that dilute the baser emotions, discovered that there were other men in the state of Alabama who can attack the tongue. Believing that he had been defeated fraudulently in his recent senatorial election, Helfin contemplated fighting and contesting his defeat. But the Ala-kana house of representatives adopted a joint resolution condemning his "very poor sportsmanship" and his "unwillingness to admit like a man that was defeated in a hair election." If their standard of sportsmanship is an unfair one, Helfin is getting a dose of his own medicine. Throughout his political career, Helfin has been a brass-voiced assailant, and a stickler on small prejudices that are neither intelligent nor plausible. He has aired his biases with such a favor that Alabama has suffered from his representation in politics. Like lynchings and masked men riding at night, his purposes have been less cerebral than impassioned; indeed Helfin's mind has been so calloused that it refuses all alternatives except those that he stands astride. The South is legendary for her man who have espoused causes and stood by them through success or disaster, but Helfin, as his career shows, lacks the sportsmanship and tolerance that have characterized other men from below the Mason and Dixon line. We note a downtown business office lettered with a sign reading, "C. A. Smart, Lawyer." Not only good advertising, but excellent advice. "WITH SCENIC INVESTURES" Tonight in Fraser Theater the Kansas Phylares resurrect drama as it was written and acted back in the 1870s when mountaineers flowed, beer was drunk legally, and negress were beginning to realize that they were emancipated. It is not to be implied that the play, "Bertha, the Sewing-Machine Girl," dwells on those things, but it is well to recall that it was staged in a generation when women had begun to shudder at their own shackled condition and had begun to believe that both liquor and mountains, if foraken, might give life a more significant and freelear role. Now we have prohibition, suffrage and although there is no law against it the moustache is pretty generally frowned upon. And in addition there have been other changes. The drama itself offers a strange comparison and an evident divergence in our behavior and thinking. Whereas modernity has acclaimed "The Strange Interlude," "Anna Christie," "Green Pastures," "Journey's End," and "The Front Page," all of which are physiologic and apt to destroy whatever illusions you may have concerning esthetics, the plays of Grant's and Hayes' time proved that although villains did exist they sooner or later met their fate, and honesty and beauty would prevail in the end. As for the arget with which the authors knitted their lines, no more outstanding metamorphosis can be offered. Today the talk mines nothing; your ancestry is reviewed so thoroughly that whatever family pride you night have had is warped by the illuminating profanity that sourges you Complexes that are Freudian infehes almost every drama. Scenes that were once held as intimate become public property in 1801. But such was not the condition when "Bertha, the Seewing-Machine Girl" caught the people's plaudits in the old Bowerbury theater. The cast acted. If a man was on the stage, he was evident by the postures he affected and the words he emitted. A player spoke in a language that was not only cultured and pedantic, but avoided all the rougher edges of life with sweet little euphemisms and allegories. Every hero could talk like one of Veblius's books read. Yet you meant to feel that most of the cast had emotions and hungers, unisex it was the baroine. Once, long ago, George Jeen Nathan spoke of those old melodic heroines, "They learned about life," he said, "from the birds and the bees and the flowers." They were seldom voluptuous and they never simmed. Villain pursued them, heres protected them, and crowds tat sensely in their seats, knowing subconsciously that the author would see to it that all would end well, but doubly glid, nevertheless, when actuality showed the "heavy" in hand-cuffs and the heroe happy in her ears. According to the Literary Digest, a cure for unemployment is employment. The analysis is encouraging. We sometimes wonder if any steps are being taken to fulfill its direction. President Hoover should get fed up on canines before long. The Norwegian Elkhound Association gave him a dog yesterday, and the Senate still continues to bark and growl. FOR SPECTATORS WHO BOO The practice of boasting is not, despite recent manifestations at Kansas basketball games, a modern development. Instead it is as avastive as rock-throwing, ear-biting, and tree-climbing. The neolithic fellows infounded in it, and occasionally casual lockers in zoo andcircuses are swum by yammerings from the monkeys and their kinetics. Some have also been alleged human partisans who sit in their seats and bellow at every decision an official renders. Booring has never been known to offer any compensations. At its best it merely inflicts penalties and fools on the team you are attempting to aid. Sometimes, it is true, your sense of pugnacity is by far influenced by your own cat-calling that you are capable of being animated and bellicone. If it is necessary for you to hait an official to fire up your own interest, you are substituting, as the psychologists say, one stimulus for another. A tippier does the same thing when he emblimbs in another glass before he faces his wife. No practice is more gutter-like or moronic. Once baseball fans heaved pop-bottles and cushions atumpes, but the habit is rare nowadays. Evidently professional baseball crowds, sitting in their shirt-sleeves and eating hot-dogs, have acquired a sense of sportmanship that is more tolerant and gentlemanly. Spectators at a university basketball game possess more proptious dressing and eating decorum; they usually wear coats and whatever masticating they do is confined to chewing gum. But at that point their superiority of culture abruptly halts. Recent games have been painfully interested with critical boots, and the dignity of the game has suffered as much as if it had been taken over by a neck of hoodlums. Basketball is peculiarly a Kansas institution. Dr. James Naismith is credited with inventing it; Dr. F. C. Allen has long been acclaimed as its leading exponent; and for years Jay-hawkeye faves have rated in the country. The feeling that the present race may be intense and close is an inadequate excuse for behaviour that limbs the student body as a common and thoroughly discourteous mob. Let's leave the booing to the monkeys and the "Boop-a-Doop" boys who grow in antipathy in their mellow. We assent to Mr. Lucien Romier's remark that "Whether France wants to or not, she attracts the notice of other nations." At least she does here in the United States with her alleged art magazines. --- OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XVIII Tues. Feb. 3, 1921 No. 97 The band will play for the basketball game tonight.

Mollie Merrick, Hollywood critic, contends that Charlie Chaplin is a master of the language all nations understand, but she neglects to say where he picked up his Esperanto. We just learned about the man who spent 25 years and traveled 90,000 miles to do 15 minutes' work. Most alike a job as winding an electric clock. A DUTY OF TIME The United States senate has outdone itself in its latest idea for staging a successful campaign and at the same time cutting expenses. Time serves many manifold purposes, but perhaps its finest attribute is the mallowing of temporal events that appear momentous into a tone that blends into a cosmic pattern. Especially is this true of news events such as the recent Butler-Mussolini affair. Pugnacious pilots in the United States berated Stimson's swift apology as kowwoting. Tolerant men can see no reason why Butler should be subjected to court-martial in lieu of our supposed democratic heritage of free speech. Pacifists had a reef of sail, believing Stimson's move had averted another war. Today the whole affair has divided into proportions whose significance is in better relation to other international events. Signor Mussolini feels that he has obtained proper redress. Butter faces charges that will lower his rank. The pugnacious citizens are interested in sport gossip that involves "Young" Stirling and the world's champion, Max Schmelting. Tolerant men are again considering the labyrinth maze of words known as the Wickershom Report. And the pacifists are hoping that Ghandi and McDonald get together. University of Kansas students were not the only ones taking quizzes last week. A headline in the Star proclaimed, "Senate Beet Test." By a writ of quo warrant, those senators who opposed the President on the appointment of the power commissioners have secured a hearing for their case before the courts. They haven't a legal leg to stand on and they know it, but the public is going on to have an opportunity to listen to a lot of campaign oratory on the power question. We'll have to hand it to the senators for conceiving novel and effective means of establishing themselves as the inofficial friends of the common people, but really it seems contrary to all American precedent that the people should pay the campaign expenses of the candidates. CAMPAIGNING MODERNIZED Like love, news has its passing fancies. In Chicago Saturday unknown assailants shot down a man whose dancing was offensive. That is proof that even gangsters have an aesthetic sense Too bad that the shows can't base their income tax reports on their final week business. Wed say that the follow who made a date for the between-semesters variety before finals was pretty much of an optimist. Bill Hara, whom some of you may remember as an cinema copernack in your boyhood, is working on a novel called "Two Boys and a Girl." If Bill wants a subtitle, he might add, or "The Eternal Triangle." P. F. A NEW ADVENTURE TALE END OF ROMING by Alexander aling. Farrar and Binkham, New ork, 1930. The romantic adventure of a young dreamer are woven together in a real-life manner to a charming story. A little girl has been daring, porteine uncle on a small boy, Richard Melville. The uncle makes an early exit, but his influences on the girl are more than visible. The boy is too young to enlist when the War breaks out, but he has a number of associates among the fellows in the college. He returns back to finish their college terms. This college episode is the only disappointing part of the book. Perhaps it is true to life and perhaps it is not. We all are rather well up on collegiate fice- But after Richard begins to room, things begin to happen. He travels about the world, does a bit of sailing, dance in pain, does some etching, lives in an old house, one who gets killed accidentally, and finally settles down, discontented. The entire tale is delighted, and we close the book sorry that Richard is uninterrupted. We see Richard day find happiness, for after all, he seems quite real. — M. Bartram.
