NOVEMBER 5, 1930 A RESOLUTION OF CONGRATULA- TIONS (TO OUELSELVES) (Note: this editorial is satirical —Kanason) There are stated intervals when an editorial writer feels that his stuff is not appreciated. Similarly these intervals come on certain days of the week only. The intervals usually last from twelve o'clock midnight to twelve o'clock midnight and occur only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When these intervals creep upon him, the writer feels a slight touch of nausea, probably something akin to that experienced by a prisoner who has dug himself out through a wall of solid rock with a tablepoon only to find that he has dug himself into another cell. But editorial writers all believe in Santa Claus. Otherwise they couldn't be editorial writers. And once in awhile, sure enough, Santa Claus comes around for a little visit. Somewhere, somehow, the journalist's stuff has its effect, and that effect comes back to him in some shape or form, sometimes almost unrecognizable but none the less real. Then there is rejoicing in the heart of the writer. There is rejoicing today—for John R. Brinkley is making a great race for the governorship of Kansas. True, he is in third place and the odds are ten to one at least that he won't be elected, but that detracts none from the joyous fact that ten of thousands throughout the state turned out yesterday to support a man who typified to them the perennial spirit of youth and who would have, if elected, solved the unemployment and agricultural problems and improved Kansas' climate all at once by putting a lake in every county. The Kansas editorial column supported Brinkley. Before that he was unknown, except to a handful of radio fans and a slight few who read the items of publicity he received in the Kansas City Star. Without the Kansas's support it can be safely said that he wouldn't have received a fraction of the votes that were cast for him. Today the Kansas feels like an airplane beacon gleaming through the gloom of an intellectual desert. And there is rejoicing. It used to be sheepkins but now it's fur cats that boys and girls go to college to get. WHERE PUT THE NEW HOSPITAL? The question of the new hospital is one that affects the students more than anyone else. The majority of them logically ought to want it situated as near as possible to the center of the rooming-house district. At present plans call for building it at 11th St. and West Campus Road. That is undoubtedly a beautiful location for a hospital, but there are other spots on the campus which might do as well and which would be considerably nearer to the mass of students who visit the dispensary. The lot just north of the Spooner-Thayer Museum has been suggested. The objections advanced against this site are that the place is reserved for another building of some sort, and that a great deal of noise from traffic comes from that point. Both locations have advantages, but it does seem that the majority of stu- sents are located east of the Hill. The only ones on the west belong to fraternities, and they usually have transportation anyway. Because of this, the hospital might be most advantageously placed between the School of Religion and Spencer-Thuer--them art and theology. What do you blink? DIE CENSOREN SIND DUMMKOPFE! ___HEINE The long ages of man's fight for free- dom have been a gradual bleaching of the rigid censorship imposed upon such men, and the resulting by despair of one sort or another. No tyrant is no tyrannical as democracy, however, to individuals who dissent from society's stereotyped patterns of thought and behavior. We still have our censors. Of the American overseers and guardians of "morality" Comstock and Summer have probably been the most rotable. Beside them, however, are countless movie censors, book censors, play censors, censors of sedition and radicalism, and in educational institutions, censors of both thought and writing. It is the censor of college newspapers that have the least excuse for being, if one realizes that—as one prominent college president put it—college in a place for students to make their mistakes and give them over with. Many censors of college papers dislike their jobs violently. If they are broadminded, human, wise, and sensitive to human fallibility, they realize the necessity of freedom if young men and young women are to be taught the proper scientific, objective attitudes. If editorial writers need to learn restraint—and many of them do—they must learn it when just as much look up a word-definition for himself if he is to learn it permanently. Those "misused" college youths wish to get up and paw the air until it turns blue, red, and green with cueswords had much better do it in college then afterward. Let them learn what they can do and what they cannot do in a place which is intended to be experimental, anyway, a university. Very, very few college newspapers in America are unsecured. Were college administrations and the public generally to accept the ideas that freedom is necessary for progress and independence thought, and that freedom includes the privilege of making mistakes, the conclusion would inevitably follow that censorship is an unwise principle of itself. NOT WORRIED Lots of people were worried last night. Many of them sat up anxiously all through the night. Candidates running close race, candidates dejected or elated, political houses puffing at cigars, newspaper reporters all lost sleep. But one man wasn't worried, although he had good reason to be. That was the President. He went to bed at 10:30, his usual hour, and the possibility of being one or both houses of Congress feared him not in the slightest. He didn't even worry about the possibility of election of two New York socialists. Norman Thomas and Heywood Brown. (Not that there was anything there to worry about, for neither was elected). Mr. Hoover has poise, to be able to take his mind off his business so thoroughly. He'll probable not be so disinterested in 1922. We predict he will up all night if there is a close race stores a favorite tale of the St. Clair County (Mo.) Democrat: The story is told of a bachelor who bought a pair of socks and found attached to one a paper with these words: "I am a young lady of 20 and would like to correspond with a hacehler with a view to matrimony." Name and address were given. The hacehler wrote in a few days got this reply: "Mamma was married 20 years ago. Evidently the merchant from whom you bought those socks did not advertise." "SCARLET SISTER MARY" Eibel Barymore is presenting "Scarlet Sister Mary" to a middlewestern audience before it has been exposed to critical early minds. This much-heralded story of the moral life of a little Negro girl has given cause for discussion to many critical thinkers and has likewise provoked the usual gossip among those who criticize without thinking. Reports are that Kansas City audien-ences are favorably impressed with Miss Berryrone's impersonation of Sister Mary, whose troubles begin when she gives herself to a Negro with a twin brother. Speculation has already begun as to how Broadway will accept 'his unusual production. The drama is an adaptation from Julia Peterkin's novel which won the Pulitzer Prize. No doubt much credit for the success of the play in Kansas City must be given to Miss Bairrymore's skilful presentation of the leading role, yet it is pleasant to realize that a mid-19th century audience can act sophisticationized toward it in productions which present a more liberal moral code. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXVIII, November, 5, 1930 No. 46 Our Contemporaries GOOD LUCK, JAYHAWKS! (Columbia Missouri, Nov. 1, 1930) Best the University of Pennsylvania to be the recipient of the Middle West and we are for you. It's all right to think in national spirit when we speak. It it counts to the good old game of brain- ing and brawn on the gridiron, we are provincial enough to be for our own GOOD LUCK IN SHIPPING! K. U. DRAMATIC CLUB A meeting of the K.U. Dramatic Club at 6 o'clock Thursday evening in green hall. MARGARET F. SMITH, Secretary. We hope you win all your games until Nov 22. But when that day comes, the team is ready to play in the season. Columnist in Missouri. Football is a robust, healthy sport. It has much of America in it. Too long, too much, too far,—looked forward to the chrysanthemums, the barris of carnival, old faces in home-coming crowds, the football championship, the sport emotion—looked forward too long, Jayhawkers, who will with you tell the classic game, and then trim you. It's a good game, this football. Too good to lose our heads over. Let's keep a clean college sport, fresh and tangy. UNION OPERATING COMMITTEE Union Operating Committee dance will be held tonight, 7 to 8 o'clock. No smoking allowed. Bring dates. When you play the University of Missouri, we'll be glad to see you, but we hope they'll trim you. Until then, good luck, Jayhawkers. It is necessary that all members of the band be present at the Wednesdays evening rehearsal on account of homecoming on Saturday, and the like nine times during the week. SNOW DAYS, DAVE NEWCOMER.

THE Oread Party SCOPE: As our name suggests this organization is not formed with the sole purpose of putting another political party on this Hill. Our interest is school wide. Our ideals and appeal are universal. The Oread party was conceived, was founded and is directed, not for the selfish satisfaction of one man or any few men, but by what a group of intelligent representative Jayhawkers feel to be within the bounds of Justice. We are inexperienced in politics that is, of course, if you look upon politics as a series of slick deals within and without a political group. The Oread party is interested in policy rather than politics. This party will not feel satisfied if once it gains the prominent position entitled to it, to remain in power year after year. For a political party cannot hope to represent more than 75% of those who live on Mount Oread. Our platform is founded upon a desire to make the selection of leaders a democratic institution. The first aim then of the Oread party is to reform or, if necessary, change the system of political election which has undermined the very spirit of Kansas. We promise to give to student government a force which it has never had before. In the last few years our student council, snug and smug in its position, has nestled meekly in the arms of the administration. Up until the time that the Apostles (a non political organization) was founded, the students of this school have never had the courage or initiative to form an organization independent of the faculty. The Administration is here to give us our education. But upon the shoulders of our more rationally-minded leaders rests the responsibility of student government. The faculty has decided to abandon Hobo Day, the only all-school tradition which we have left. The Oread party will be strong in its demand for the return of this institution. If sincerity is virtue, we are virtuous. If courage aids in accomplishment, we will accomplish. If spirit is necessary to victory, we will be victorious.
