FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1930
And the Journalism building creaks again with the weight of many feet. The Kansas editor and the A. P. men are here. Ostensely they have come up to hold a convention; really they want to see old friends again and to get away from their families and troubles back home; and perhaps the football game tomorrow has attractions for some of them.
US EDITORS
Us newspaper writers have suered trusts and all that. We may never rise in material affluence above the sum of $35 a week (that's better than a college professor, anyway), but we have a lot of fun if we are humorously inclined, and considerable responsibility if we are real and sincere and earnest.
The Fourth Estate! And so you're the men who actually run newspapers.
The Journalism majors all look book and smiling, dulled up in their best bids and tuckers—you never saw such a doole, intelligent-looking bunch before did you, old-timers (not since last year, anyhow?) They can hope for some Santa Claus to appear and benevolently to show them with a blessing in the shape of a job, preferably that of managing editor at a salary of, say, $2000 a year to start.
Of course the editor of a college paper doesn't have to worry about a job. He's arrived—practically one of the boys, in fact. Welcome, brethren.
WHAT TO DO!
Sing Lo says: "Truth is what lies between your ears." That makes most of us out lars.
It seems to us that there are many vital problems on this and every campus crying for a solution. We have touched on some of them briefly before, as our constant readers, if there are any, may have noticed. The following seem to us to be fundamental questions desperately needing some wizard to present their answer:
Mr. Werner has issued invitations for certain students to help form a joint faculty-student committee Monday to discuss campus problems, especially controversial questions. This meeting is a preliminary to a national meeting of the same sort to be held in Detroit in December.
1. What should a fraternity do when one of its members persists in talking in his sleep on the sleeping porch?
2 What steps should be taken after the landlady has served hash four days running?
3. What are five good methods of coaxing, capling, threatening, or swiping five more buckets from the old man for your allowance?
4. Discuss seven good alibis to offer for flunking in four subjects.
5. What does one do with a roommate who has borrowed one's Tux?
6. What are the most certain ways of breaking into the upper crust of collegiate society?
And there are lots more. Maybe if you're all real good, we'll mention more Sunday.
7. How can one escape the solicitors for donations to worthy clubs and societies of various sorts?
Three men have been selected to judge beauty pictures turned in by women. "Woman proposes; man disposes."
FREE THOUGHT ABOUT WAR
The recent decisions of various courts in the country barring objectors to war from becoming citizens has aroused a great deal of controversy over the question of the desirability of admitting pacifists to citizenship in this country.
The case of Rosika Schwimmer, who declared that she was willing "to do everything that an American citizen has to do except light", is the only one of the "conscienteous objector" cases which the Supreme Court has so far passed on. Its decision was that Madame Schwimmer's lack of a nationalistic sense, her pacifism, and her possibility of influencing others in time of war, contradict the fundamental principles of the Constitution.
The result of the Supreme Court's decision in the Schwimmer case was that Congressman A. J. Griffin, a Spanish war veteran, introduced an amendment to the Naturalization Act reading: "No person . . . otherwise qualified shall be debarred from citizenship by reason of his or her religious views or philosophical opinions with respect to the lawfulness of war as a means of settling international disputes."
According to D. B. Bromley, writing in the October Harper's, this bill has been endorsed, among many others, by Jane Addams, Robert Mowers Lovett, John Dewey, J. T. Showell, the American Civil Liberties Union, and the Women's International League for peace and Freedom.
"They believe more than some of us do in the teachings of the Sermon on he Mount," said Justice Holmes of Madane Schwimmer and her kind in his minority report on the case. Surely American freedom includes the right to public opinion that. Should we ask of our naturalized citizens what we have not dared ask of our natives—that they cease to guard war as wrong?
EINSTEIN
Einstein is coming to America. He plans to go to California and take some peeps through the telescope on there and then make some more of his funny statements which will revolutionize the world's thinking again.
We hope he stops off at Lawrence. You know, there are just plenty of questions of us would like to ask him: How can a slightly curved line be the shortest distance between two points? How can space be bent at all, in fact? How can something go from one place to another without passing over the intervening space? How can time be eating up matter, or whatever it is that it is doing to it? How can two parallel planes or circles meet and why?
And what is relativity? And what makes you think that gravity and electricity are the same? And what effect will it have? And why do you think that science has nothing to do with ethics?
And is it true that you think a nation which completely thinned itself, without regard for what other nations did, would be safe from the possibility of war?
Some cub reporter on this great journal will have a pretty busy day if English accepts this invitation. He would have to take physics before facing that gentleman.
And now they're thinking of making the kids go to school the year round—twelve months without a stop, except for a week off now and then. A revived school program has been recommended in a report prepared for the coming White House child conference that calls for a twelve-month school year with a week of vacation intervening at the end of a ten- or twelve-week period.
LET THE KIDS PLAY
The sponsors of the idea have apparently forgotten their own school days. What would a kid have to live for if the golden days of his three months' vacation were to be taken away from him? The world, to him, would lose its glamour and its novelty 'f he had to go to school all the year.
There have been too many jokes made and too many cartoons drawn on the subject of the child's reputed hatred of school life. School is not nearly so tiresome to most children as it is alleged to be. But, pleasant or unpleasant, a day spent in a classroom is not remembered with the pleasure that a day spent on the creek bank with a fishing
pole is remembered. And memories are precious things. Let the kids have their vacations and their fun while they may.
OVERLOOKED CULTURE
Or the third floor of the Admission building there is now an exhibition of the paintings of Stone and Sandzen, two well-known artists. There is also a permanent collection there, including a painting by H. W. Muday. In the Spooner-Thayer museum there are a variety of instruments, and innumerable lovely and interesting things. Students daily pass uninterestedly by rooms in Fraser containing copies of the beautiful sculpture of the ancient world.
These various places on the Hill are of cultural value to all who take the time to look; the cost is nothing. Hundreds of people pay large sums of money every year to travel to other parts of the globe, ostensibly, at least, to see things which will add culture to themselves.
There are other forms of recreation in Lawrence than Amos 'n Andy and the cinema. When the hash gags down at the picture show, try the art galleries.
THE DEPRESSION
Economists draw curves, graphs diagrams, and charts of every description. They weigh evidence, historical and statistical, and say: "The depression of the price level will still continue. It may reach the low ebw by as early as
Merchants, manufacturers, capitalists, rookers, laborers, and the public in general take all this information, check his bank statements, survey their certificates, and buy or sell. They play he game of guessing.
The process of judging takes place in other lines. Over 100,000 of Kansas youth have weighed all the advantages and disadvantages of a university education in the past 67 years. As a result
they have invested heavily in it with much of their parents' cash and at least four years of their time. Despite the stock slump and loss of business confidence, more of them than ever before had faith in the value of University training.
IT WILL BECOME A MEMORY
Now, a year after the depression has set in, the public realizes that, though the price level may sink for thirteen years, the value of an education will be
the same, if not enhanced, by 1943
Speaking unofficially for the statisticians, we say, but heavily what the University has to offer—it pays.
Those of us who attended schools in Kansas certainly didn't get through without learning this poem of Esther Clark's. And we have seen just such a sunset as she describes. Have you ever seen the reflection of one of these on our campus?
"I have seen a Kansas sunset, like a vision in a dream,—"
The prettiest spot of the sunset's reflection is old Snow Hall. It seems much more beautiful when you are the only one there to see it. The solitude of the entire scene adds to its beauty. There is something about it that is like a glow in your heart—it creepy, even ghostly appearance. It looks as if it were all afame—the red sun against the windows cracked with age, and the few leaves that still cling to the vine look like small flames creeping out from between the bricks.
Long years after it is gone, Old Snow's memories will linger with those who were here with it.
We need to see that defeat is no disgrace, that victory is secondary; that the gate receipts are of infinitesimal importance.
THE GAME'S THE THING
Junior Coen's vigorous campus opinion stresses a very important but generally neglected point with respect to intercollegiate athletics by saying: "I am not yet disillusioned that I believe athletic contests are worthless unless we win."
When we play Oklahoma tomorrow
Representing as he does a sport where traditionally sportsmanship is infinitely more to be prized than victory, Mr Coen can speak with some authority. If we could only transfer the customary tennis attitude to football, how much less mercenary would football be, how much cleaner, how much less disruptec of the true purposes of college.
Everyone must be out to the rally tonight at 7.15. There will be a meeting in the union building, room 6 at 4:30PM. There will not be paid participants. CASEY BISSELL

Faculty and students who have the athletic ticket must press the activity book with the ticket for admission to football games.
let us act like gentlemen--cheer for the pleasure of the game itself. If we win, let us not be braggers; if we lose, let us not be yawing cures.
Campus Opinion
SPORTS
I'm it? a shame that Kansas can no longer be independent of the Big Six because the team isn't good enough? Kansas isn't ready to take such a step forward. I have been able enough to attract enough money through the plate. I guess I am wrong but I have been thinking that Kansas should stay in or get out of the Big Six because we are in or in the city because of how well our boys play.
'Nitn't it a shame that *K. F. B.* can hardly face his family for the disgrace that is his name, but he cannot not yet so, dismayed that I believe athletic* constats are worthless unless we win. Nor that the way the life is the thing of greatest importance.
Having read with great disgust the contributions to your Campus Opinion signed "K. P. B" and "Inquirie," I am proud of this first introduction to this curriculum.
Nitn't a shame that Kansas, after her glorious trip to Pennsylvania, comes home conceived and swell-headed over its success. Such rebounding is beyond the limits.
The attitude of many of the students toward Kansas athletic teams is foul and disgusting. I have been in contact with them, but they are the greatest at tennis theEast basketball team play like beginners; I have seen Grover Alexander knocked down by a player in the even greatest basketball team play like beginners; I have seen Demney and Tommy make steps that are impossible for any other team; we seen great teams in almost every game and individuals in almost every game have their off day and be defeated, but I have never seen them doing that team or individual behavior in such an unfathalable way as at least a good number of Kansas did and have since
Isn't it a shame that our grads came clear back to Kansas to have their trip ruined by a trying but falling football game, that if we have a homecoming without any game, there would be a lot of grads come back to see the school and be around the Hill once again. "There is no quitter." He says one true thing, "I am not one of the back-room board of strategy." Either am I Coach Hargis and every man on the squad has forged a bond with the game, know. But I do know one thing and that is that those who booed a Kansas man as he left the game the other day ought to be booed and hissed the rest of the team, for who three years or even four has every day reported for practice, hot or cold, wet or dry, and has conscience too. It would certainly be inspired by such a show of appreciation.
"Iquirer" says "size it up for yourselves and see if you don't come to a somewhat similar conclusion". Well, I think it's one of the things. First, I think we have a great football team, win, lose, or draw. Second, we can't show enough appreciation for their efforts. Third, I think that the staff written by "K. P. B.", and "indefinitely looked for it a Tuesday evening, when the door was down with a little disappointed sight and thought that perhaps I was expecting too much and was too imminent.

*All last something is being done to help

has undertaken this difficult yet necessary
task toward helping us unfortunate
ones who have not mastered this neces-
tance. We all love the chance of a
affair on the Hill consists of dancing.
Those who cannot dance are completely
left out of all important social func-
tivities and they have to content themselves
with playing cards or looking on. It is
surprising how many of the students are
unable to舞 as shown by the
those who attended the M. W. A. A. class.
O. F. B.
The main objection to the W. A. A. class is that so many of those who already know how to dance attend these classes, but no one else is prepared for the purpose of "showing off" Nevertheless the W. A. A. is doing a necessary and important task in teacher training; it is designed for the way in which they conducted it. Here's hoping there will be some
