FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1930 THOSE PERSISTENT FRESHMEN Owing to confusion in changing editors and the consequent red tape to be disentangled, the following urgent petition of homeschick freshen went astray and could not be answered when requested. We sincerely hope, however, that our attempts at enlightenment will reach the petitioners in time for them to send word to their mothers that they will be home the day before Thanksgiving to help slaughter the turkey and appropriate the gizzard. Editor Daily Kansan: Your answer to a group of K. U. Freemain's request for more enlightenment on the subject of freedom of speech was very inadequate. We would like to know the following concerning it and my listen, you are no Santa Claus. 2. If so, when? 4. When will we know? 1. Has the University of Kansas ever closed a day earlier if we beat Missouri? 3. What is the chance for such to be the case this time? 5. Will it not be possible for some enterprising young reporter of the Daily staff to interview the powers behind the subject and let the campus know? Will you please print an answer to this in Wednesday's Kansan. 1. So tradition has it. A group of K. U. freshmen. Acting on the program suggested by you we have secured the following information: 2. In 1925 when "Stony" Wall won for Kansas with a dribblek in the last minute of the game, and in 1927 when Kansas won against odds of 60 to 1 on a spectacular passing attack. 5. An excellent suggestion, If you have any more of the kind we might be able to use you on the Kamen staff next year. 4. By the time this issue comes out perhaps, if some galumping Jay hawks have not gone haywire. 3. Pretty fair this morning. Your fate is in your hands. See editorial "Watch Your Step" yesterday. If painting the sidewalks beat O. U. what will this hobo day do to Missouri? THE PRESUMPTION OF THESE ARTISTS Composition of the 560-word history of the United States for Guiton Borglum's Mt. Rushmore Memorial, near Rapid City, S. D., has been postponed for another year. Borglum insisted that the history must be in beautiful English and had secured the services of Calvin Coolidge to write it. But the sculptor had the audacity to edit the ex-president's composition. The idea of a more artist preming to improve on language which ordinarily sells for two dollars a word was too Mr. Cockidge widens his services. COLLEGE CRIBBING Cheating is very common in college classes. This is to be expected to a certain extent as there are always people who want something for nothing. However, when cribbing becomes more and more common, other explanations must be sought. First among the reasons for cheating the group system. This system forces students into classes in which they have no interest or ability. They go into classes with the attitude of taking the course to fill the required group. Later, that their grades are low and realising what it means to them to fail, they can cheat with few qualis of conscience if they have the opportunity. It is easy to convince themselves that time spent on the course is wasted and that therefore it is not wrong to chenct. A second cause of cheating on college campuses is the unfairness of the quizzes sometimes given. When a student studies for an examination and finds that the quiz is made up largely of catch-ups his natural reaction is to "put something over" on the instructor. He becomes desperate and forgetting all principles of morals and honor, tries to outwit the instructor. Sermons preached and papers written on the dishonesty of cheating will be of little use until a definite change is made in our system of education. If the group system could be modified so that students would not be pushed into classes which will be of no use to them and if working for knowledge and not grades could be stressed, there would be no cause for cheating. Until such a system is successfully worked out, each individual student must formulate his own standards of honor and the instructor must decide between trusting students or maintaining a watch-dog policy of supervision. Hobo Day is one day that worries most of us little about what to wear. A RETURN TO DECENCY Is there any charm for the present-day college generation in what the Victorian would have called wholesome entertainment, in reflective thought, and in books that are not decidedly rigue? Could a modern youth be stimulated by the environment in which his parents lived, where "post office" was a daring amusement, and a girl was brazen if she walked alone on the sidewalks after dusk? Perhaps not. But the tremendous popularity of two works of fiction by J. B. Pricety, "The Good Companions" and "A Angel Purvent," shows that this generation still retains some of the sensibilities to the brutal realities of "Hooper Dooper," "Bad Girl," and "Loved This Story" would have been revolting and even nauseating. Perhaps this generation's appetite for realism, a realism depicting abnormal states of life, a realism based on licentiousness rather than any possible refinement of civilization, has been sustained. These two books are not putituened in any sense, nor is there any didactic purpose apparent. The author has the happy faculty of perceiving the distinctive trait of character, seizing the dramatic incident, and returning them to his reader in their original clarity and significance. His development of plot and treatment of incidents abounds in pleasurable thrills, But the surprising thing is that he has succeeded in writing two best sellers in as many years without having his leading characters surrender themselves body and soul to biological urges, stage a "no inhibitions" party, or forake their cultural background. Apparently, the veneer of civilization hasn't been completely rubbed off. The Emporia Gazette is going to donate front-page space to the advertisements of those wonting jobs and to those who may have jobs to offer in an effort to help the unemployment situation in that city. The Kansas City Star is constantly calling attention to the needs of Kansas City's unemployed. Pages all over the country are doing it. will help in giving these jobless men a little something to do. UNEMPLOYMENT Lawrence has its unemployment problem just as much as any other city. There is going to be much actual want and suffering right here at home this winter. Students and townpeople who have never thought seriously of the situation in the past must wake up and realize the plight of many families right here at their back doors. There are many little things that can be done to help matters. They will be alleviating methods only, and will not get at the cause. But they will help. In every house there are various little old jobs that can just as well be done now as any time. The garage and the basement might be cleaned out—any little thing that can possibly be done Students can donate food and cest- off clothes. There are lots of old cloeth lying around fraternity and sorority houses that are never worn—except, perhaps, on honey day—that would help in tiding many poor families through the winter. The wages of American women are determined by the college degree which they hold, according to a survey made by the University of Michigan. THE DIPLOMA GETS THE JOB A woman with a B. A. or B. S. degree usually makes more than one who attended college without graduating. The holder of an M. A. makes more than those with lower degrees, and the holder of Ph. D. more than a Master of Aris. Although the report revealed the fact that grade school graduates made more is than high school graduates, this is explained by the fact that women who are graduates of grade schools only are mature women, who went into business years ago. Their valuable experience prepares them for the superior education of the others. All right, ladies, get to diploma that the job is your! The highest pay goes to the woman with the prettiest title. Maybe it is as simple as it sound, but NOT THE LAST WORD, EITHER Editor Daily Kansan; --with all the home football games already played, this article may appear a little late. It was prompted by the display of interest in our school spirit in the columns of the Kenan last week that I wrote. We gave their views upon the subject. Campus Opinion The "humorous, childish, trivial radical, former editor-in-chief." I see the beginnings of a beautiful comradeship. Damon and Pythias were not such friends as you and I might be. "Army Man." THE ARMY WON'T FIGHT "A. L. B." asks the army if it is "poor to proud to fight." Surely such an acumen is needed in a war, but never in a lieer in preparedness for war, for various reasons—how, for instance, would you protect yourself from a war? But I adduce no organization which will not defend its purposes and mission. Editor Daily Kansan: The military department has the trans- ditions of all mark's history to back it. In 1934, he and his associates, and invective for the campus proxies (who so far have carried the light for the war) were called "red devils." OUR PEPSTERS Editor Daily Kansan: G. T. I did not find a single protect from either of our pet organizations. It seems to me that the Kui Kui and day clothes are the best way. What they do to warrant wearing their sweaters or occupying the better seats in the stadium is more than I can see. During the games, they resemble an armored chicken in and around the barricade. By way of suggestion, why don't they organize and sit in a big "K?" All dissembling members of the stronger sex could be kept away from the kitchen. The kine do not get chicken-hearted. The fair coen would be kept in her place by dismissal from the organization if absent, or by some other reason. From Saturday's representation, I doubt if there are enough to make a good "K," but Lord know there are plenty of worthy students in the ranks Instead of running hither and thither in the half, they could put on a tunic appropriate for each game during hot tips. Yours truly, F. Ivan Schull. Witness in Wilson Trial Undisturbed by Sarcasn During yesterday's cross-examination in the trial of Cai Wu for the murder of her husband, a ruthless witty scored a "clean punkt" on the mannersmith and cordiality of J. J. Billing, attorney for the defense, quizzed the bearded witness, seeking to discover the last time the old fellow had been at the Wilson office prior to the murder. Sitting stiffly in his chair, the witness was adamant; he could not recall the exact date, and frequently, didn't even ask Billing. "Sure," was the reply. "Yet you can't remember the last time you visited the Wilson home before the tenth of June?" "Usually," said Efiling, and there was a "litter of irony in his voice, "one remembers, at least in my neighborhood, when he visits neighbors." The old man was still in his chair. At last he moved a sentimental lee. His voice, coming from him, gave you warmly the feeling of slow days on prairies, of white ponds, of porch fields of perched beauty by a hot wind. In the country, he drawned "we go to see folks often' mouff that it isn't so bad. We don't laugh at laughter that spirited through the courtrooms, his philosophic dignity was POPULATION OF CHINA SHOWS . INCREASE TOWARD 5,000,000 Shanghai—(UP)—China's population is more nearly 500,000,000 persons than the 400,000,000 which is ordinarily given according to statistics at Nanking.
