A REFERENDUM
The frequent and widespread agitation of the women on the campus about the undesirability of the present date rules and other rules restricting women's freedom has been little considered by the W. S. G. A., which goons sublimely on in its own inimitable manner.
Perhaps that group of women which makes the most noise about the unpopularity of these rules is a mere minority. Perhaps, on the other side, most of the women on the campus believe that they are sensible enough to govern themselves as the men do, without being required or told what to do in any given situation.
There is one way to find out: W. S. G. A. can hold a referendum among the women on the campus, asking specifically whether they favor the present restrictions upon them. If the women's government is a democracy, there can be no objection to this plan. The majority will win, and its representatives should legislate accordingly, or we have no such thing as a representative, democratic principle.
OUR DANCING HEROES
The W. S. G. A. is a fairly sensible and progressive organization in many ways. It can do nothing contrary to the axioms of good government by asking women what rules governing themselves will receive their obedience and support.
(Obviously by a Woman)
Dancers. Dance for women. A splendid idea, truly. Women should know how to dance. It makes them more graceful in addition to making them enjoy themselves. Women have a positive genius for rhythmic movement. In that case they should learn the various steps of ballroom dancing quite easily.
But when these women do go to the social functions on the Hill and dance with enterprising young huskies who trample all over their feet, aren't they going to wonder if their effort to learn was worth it after all?
Many men stay away from dances because they don't know how to dance—blessings on them who are aware of the fact. There are some, however, who try to kid themselves into thinking that they aren't so bad; their partners have different opinions. Both these groups of men are in as much need of dancing experientia as any woman.
The women are already being taught
Can't we unearth somebody to undertake
the masculine side of this enterprise?
The Star points out editorially that a woman of intelligent and highly pleasing appearance was recently left off without a fine. Just how many of the same are there on the campus who will likewise benefit from the evident frailties of "Gentleman Jim?"
WHY BE CONVENTIONAL?
People have followed group tendencies since the beginning of time, and they have always scorned individuality. It has been a case of "follow the leader" since Adam and Eve and the amoeba. Why not be a black sheep for a change?
Park your car any place where you can get to it without inconvenience to yourself.
Don't go out of your way for any in
structor. They've been around here longer than you have and know all of the short-cuts.
Why attend class when there are places to go and things to do much more interesting?
Why study a little every day when you can cram most of your work in all at once?
Why buy a text book when your friend around the corner saves all of his? He's a generous soul, anyhow.
Why buy a car when your friends are willing to haul you around? 1998
Be different. Why be conventional?
PREPAREDNESS
The World Tomorrow for November reproduces an interesting map prepared by the Committee on Militarism in Education which shows the types and extent of military training in educational institutions throughout the country.
The total number of institutions having some form of military training under war department auspices, as of January 1, 1950, is 318, with a total enrollment of 145,982. Over half of these are in colleges and universities with compulsory R O T C, units. About 10,500 apiece is in colleges with elective military training, such as Kansas, in public high schools with compulsory military training, and in military academies or prep schools. In public high schools with elective military training, there are enrolled 23,784 members. There are, in addition, 60 institution unclassified with 16,500 members.
The World Tomorrow says editorially: "That such an expenditure of money (more than ten million dollars), facilities, and facilities should be replaced by a more adequate preparation of college students for citizenship is becoming the conviction of an increasing number of people especially among educators and churchmen. Suppose that for the next five years the State Department were to detail 1,523 men to spend their full time co-operating with students in working out the implications of the Kellogg Pact. Or suppose that the money were used to send every man who received a commission in the R. O. T. C. abread for a year to study first-hand the political, social, and economic problems of the world which must be understood and faced if war is to be abolished."
We have only scratched the surface in installing peace and internationalism courses in our schools. As the World Tomorrow points out, that is a "belt
LEWIS A NOBEL AUTHOR
The Nobel prize for literature in 1930, a sum of $48,000, has been awarded to Sinclair Leigh, formerly of Yale and around, the author of "Babbit," "Mantrap," "Arrowsmith," "Elmer Gatlin," "and" "Main Street."
Lewis has been a best-seller for some time, and his publishers state that the last five of his books have sold over 1,500,000 copies. That surely indicates literary success—according to the criteria by which the American public judges.
A few years ago he was awarded the Pulitzer prize for the best American novel, but refused it on the ground that he felt prizes were not conducive to real creativity on the part of the artist. The Pulitzer prize was only $100, however. The Nobel prize was $45,000 less than the Nobel price. Prize that explains it perhaps not.
Levis' popularity with his public cannot be denied. And it must be admitted that he has been none too gentle with his readers' feelings. so far as that goes, he has courage. Whether he has literary ability or not, the future only can tell. If we can make a prediction, it might be said that in fifty or a hum-
dred years his books will remain only as monastrosites produced in the dark ages of American literature.
His characters are not real; his plots are valuable as caricatures, but they are grossly exaggerated and distorted. Nevertheless, he has done valuable service in waking this country, and particularly its middle west, into some critical analysis of itself. The custom of critical writing about social problems in America which he led is a very important contribution—but his literary ability does not seem really worthy of lasting.
SHOUTIN' DOWN THE DEVIL.
If you have a little radio set along with the Morris chairs in your front parlor, you've no doubt heard of Almee
Semple McPherson, the woman evangelist of Angelus Temple.
"Come all you simmer, and gather 'round closed," for here's a choice tibbit for you. A talein is going to make a talkie. The woman who walked the burning sands of the desert, that she might come home to her followers in the city, or the moment of the Lord? is going to break down and concise—in gelatin form.
For a long time there was much controversy over the matter. First she would and then she wouldn't. The indication seemed to be tied up in a matter of percentage and lawyers—a trip to the Holy Land—and Paris. Now everything is set. By this time she should be wielding a make-up box at the University of Pennsylvania Lahaimes. It is called "Clay in the Potter's Hand," based on her autobiographical book, "In the Service of the King."
Everyone will be there from the departed Robert Semple, her missionary first husband who exerted such influence on her life and deeds—to Roberta, the daughter; the son, Rolph; and even "Ma" Kennedy will be a character. No announcement has been made as to the leading man, but the monarch is coming into the picture. It seems that he looks very much as Robert did.
Mrs. McPherson is an experienced actress, right now she runs the best show in Los Angeles. Clad in flowing white ribes, assisted by all manner of mechanical efforts and props, she pecks religion home in strong doses. She dramatizes everything. Sometimes, even the devil, in red robes and with the well-known horns, appears on the platform, and Aimee, shouting malediction; to him with praise to the Lord, drives him away. When she returned from her harrowing "kidnapping" experience, she enacted the whole business out on the church stage.
She says that this opportunity will give her a chance to promulgate the gospel as never before. Someone told her once that she had a voice like Ethel Barramryne's and that she resembled Texas Guinan. Aimee ought to make a talk tie.
And by the way—how's her mother's name?
Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
Chesting in the classroom and in the preparation of outside units of work, teachers are often given the gift of gaining to recognize this, but are still far from an understanding of its causes. This is the reason that remedial by more rigid supervision during examination is clearly under-
Such an attitude indicates that there is something fundamentally wrong with the student's conception of education. If you find out why it is not considered dourishable, is even sometimes an indication of superior skill and courage.
Cheating is certainly firmly imbbed in the student tradition here. Many of them go to college and do, perhaps they regard it as a natural thing and never seriously consider its moral aspect. Tradition perpetuates this view, but we need to see in some classroom situations cribbling seems to be the smart thing to do. A particularly successful bit of cheating that has been reported in prestige. How many times have I endured the egregious compañon of some fourfifther who has dishonored them without ever having "cracked a book"

ATHLETIC OFFICE
No group of people can progress when it has absolutely no control over its own simulations and affairs.
The students have lost their spirit of competition. This year the football team happens to be good enough that we can cheer them on to victory without much difficulty. So while we were on the goose egg end of the score with three or four minutes to play, how much yelling did you hear? Not much. No school said. The spit pitcher could get it out of bed and bedraggled Jayhawk out of the mud of the prismid and urged her on to a brilliant victory over a powerful, hitherto undefeated team that he almost exiled himself.
Our Pan-Hellenic council is a joke when it comes to equal representation, but we believe the ten controlling Pacchiasam fraternalhes, he has no more chance than
Three Pacachane fraternities control the Y. M. C. A., a worthy organization have a fair way of electing, however, their leaders. They are this same strong steam roller. They One of the three fraternities never has a President in the Y. twice in succession. No, they rotate. One fraternity was the first and the next over the other it gets.
An amusing incident came up a short time ago. One of the controlling three was due to have the Y presidents forced him to return, and fortunately, however, the gentleman was unable to return to school. An investigation concluded some fraternity got the presidency again. The two most capable men, you see, just happened to be in this fraternity.
Paccharine last year lauded the platform they had built out of cards—it was 'democratic. Why, there were too many cards to represent who "belonged." What the campaigners failed to say however was that a large percent (over three-
Pachaeamus brags that only one issue of their platform has ever been uncompromised, and Potter Lake. It was abandoned, they said, because the results would not be as good.
What about the golf course? Anybody that ever played on it and tried to play golf would be amazed at how greens has wished to God that he can be able to play a brilliant brassion on the course.
Two Pachacamac medical fraternities have controlled that branch of the game for some time. Recently, however, the fraternity was campaigning, put up an excellent candidate, enlisted the aid of the independents to campaign, and once again became the holding sack. So immediately election irregularities were cooked up and the matter was put back in question. The organization biased organization of unified Pachacamac power. The verdict, of course, was no election. The independent mediator it appointed affirms it did not even trouble to put up a candidate in the next election, and the result was a Pachacamac landslide that ensured victory.
So the situation is. From the Jayhawker Board to the election of cheerleaders the power rules.
