FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1930 THE LATEST THING And now we have relativity We have been threatened for a long time with the view that to be evaluated a thing must be compared with something else. Who hasn't heard it said that of course Thoughtful Freshman was important in his home town, but what did he expect when he went to the University of Kansas? But here comes Einstein declaring that even speed, distance, direction, time, and space are purely relative and the way is opened for all kinds of quibblings. Pretty soon we shall hear nothing but arguments like these: Mother—"I heard you come in at 3 o'clock this morning. John." John—"Yes, but that's early in comparison with Henry. He didn't get in until 6." Or: Dean-"This D en your ear doesn't look very well, young gentleman." Firing student—"Oh, but look at So and-So's card. He has an F." Relativity offers the younger generation all kinds of opportunities. When Father looks shocked at Son's rash statements, Son will say, "That's because you are a reactionary. Po. If you were as radical as . . . , my ideas would seem very conservative." There's going to be no more celer tainty in anything. Even after you've danced all around an object or an idea and looked at it from an airplane, you will never be sure you're seeing it so it is. After working in campus eating, houses a few weeks some students find it not as hard to work as to eat what they earn. COUNTY CLUBS AGAIN The editorial department is deeply grieved if it gave a wrong conception of the principles upheld by the men who sponsor the work of the county clubs each year. Since, however, as our contributor says, "the purposes which the Kansas editorial writer suggests for the county clubs" theme songs are practically synonymous with those in the minds of us who sponsor this activity from year to year," we hope that our editorial may be the innocent cause of promulgating more thoroughly throughout the organization the principles upon which county clubs work is based. Our conclusions as to the efficacy of the county club movement had been based entirely on the work of the clubs as we saw them in action, and not on the principles laid down by the leaders. What we saw led us to believe, as we still do, that in county club work in the past, there has not been that distinction expressed by our contributor, that "if there is any tendency to recruit students to the University, the effort is directed toward attracting young men and women of outstanding ability and leadership and thus improving the quality of the University student body." We sincerely hope that the publicity given the principles of county clubs by their leader, perhaps not adequately stressed heretofore in the individual meetings, will result in county club work of a much higher quality. As to our comment on the Jayhawk. We are sorry that it should have been construed as expressing any derogatory opinion of the Jayhawk as a student yearbook. Quite the contrary is true, for as a sojourner of Our University life we believe it cannot be equaled. What did we question was whether the Jayhawk when placed in the various high schools throughout the state would not attract those students to whom a college education would be so much wasted time, just as much as those who could utilize a college education to its highest advantage. We still think that many students who come to the University should never have enrolled. A well-motivated movement, which in certain divisions of its organization draws students indiscriminately and regardless of their potentialities, must be guarded vigilantly. No, we don't think that the instructors and deans can be trusted to cut all those to whom a college education would be wasted time. There should be some selection before the job comes to their hands. If the county clubs can do this, if they do do it, they justify their existence. George Trevor in the Outlook and Independent considers Kevin Rocke a genius of many sides. Not only does Rocke coach he is also a chemistry instructor, a movie technician, a teeturer, an automobile sales manager, and various other things—but, most important of all, at least to Kumar, is the news that he is "the organizer of a thriving insurance business. Campus Opinion POLITICS DILLY KENNETH Editor Daily Kansan: Your correspondent feels that the editorial writer showed himself to be familiar with his subject and the Kansan careless of its regard for the best interests of the University when the publication came out. We went on to identify the active county club organization to question the advisability of county club work. This organization indicated the effort on a false premise and I write this more to get the premise corrected in the minds of those who are not trying to carry on the activity of the scheme, than to beloar the Kansan's editorial work. In most cases those student editors laugh off the hapless returns of graved readers. I was once one myself. A student The main purpose of county clubs is not to drug in as many students to the University as possible. Stimulation of student involvement is one of the purposes of county club activity and persons in charge of programs are constantly urged to tell high school students the latest information best fitted to their needs. If there is any tendency to recruit students to the University the effort is directed toward them, especially those out of outstanding ability and leadership and thus improve the quality of the University student body. One event that has been planned for the publishing last year, and the projected plan to repeat it this year, of "High School Leader" pictures in the Jaycee newspaper, will be an enrollment of these picture high school leaders was made, but the very project might naturally be expected to be carried out. One of, in fact, the main purpose of county club effort as viewed by those who have mourned it and is painsome to see the efforts of uninformed editorial writers, is to interpret student life and interests to all persons over the state and country, to understand only way to reach the people of a state generally is to work through meetings and contacts that can be arranged easily and conveniently and are willing listening. If a majority of the meetings are before well known people, then it seems obvious if things interest them. To be successful any institution, particularly a state institution, must be Come to the cafeteria tonight and see where the majority of the students eat. You are always welcome to inspect our kitchen. The CAFETERIA In Your Union Building understood and loved by its constituents. The University must have not only students but also appropriations from the city, and wealth, good will and support from its alumni and the citizens generally. Present students who desire the advancement of this project in their project and a useful and inspiring institute for Kansas people will take part in county club work, keeping "the possibilities and ideas" The editorial writer's question as to whether the Jawahyer is a worthy picture of University life will not be argue here. We think the Jawahyer The purpose which the Kansan editorial writer suggests for the county club's theme song are practically synonymous with those in the minds of who sponsor this activity each year. If he will read the instruction books that are used for use out of use for use of county clair workers he will recognize that fact. If some students misinterpret the main purpose and aim of the plan no great harm will be done. After the first week of school, all of students outof support for their school they can interpret the movement only one way: that those students must think the institution a good place. Putting the institution in someone's hands will raise so much question in the minds of the folks back home as to see a bunch of enthusiastic young men in the college campus try not to fall only to come home at Christmas time silent and cold and inarticulate regarding their experiences at the State University, particularly its football team. There is a great opportunity to read in the daily press only about the spectacular events of the football season and about the "scrapers" indulged in by one half of one per cent of the Let's trust the instructors and deans to cut out the students not fitted for college instruction. Let's go back home on campus, and tell these high school assemblies, those Rotary clubs, those alumnus groups about our efforts to become engineers, or doctors, or scientists, at it; let's tell them about some of the marvelous scientists, statesmen, journalists who have studied before us in these fields; the football team, debating teams, glee clubs—and our excellent student newspaper. They'll like to fear about it; they like us, and they'll like the University. If they like us they will support us. If they will support us we can have better teachers, better equipment with which to work—a better University. The county club program takes little money. It calls for activity. It is the focus of many clubs and serves their University that is offered during the year. It offers a glowing opportunity for every student, every organization, every agency to "wear" it. We hope and trust that the Daily Kassan, of which we are all so proud, will find in this letter some of its quorum. We encourage the co-operation of the editorial department, as well as the news columns, which have always been so generously and effectively used, in promulgating this state wide program for the Uki- Fred Ellsworth, Sec.
