THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1930 THE FREEDOM TO LEARN Reprinted elsewhere on this page is an article published by the Douglas County Republican in August. In it is expressed great fear for the safety of democracy in this country. The teaching of socialism in our schools is a step back from the ideals of freedom, the articles, and toward the inevitable overthrow of our government. Socialism, to be sure, is critically considered in many classes on the campus. An economic program it is presented—not advocated—in economics courses. Political scientists examine it. The sociology department presents an examination of socialist history and thought. Any of these classes can be profitably visited by the writer of the article to see the amount of propaganda carried against the government. We will find there is none. Nor does socialism lead to communism or anarchy. Socialism is directly opposed to both; to communism because communism advocates force and extremism; to anarchy because anarchy would not extend democracy, as socialism proposes, but would abolish it in the hope that human nature might be able to govern itself without compulsion. We have in the socialist movement something that is sweeping the world, for good or ill. It controls the governments of many countries, most notably England and Russia. It is the third largest political faith even in this nation. Should we refuse to examine it at all in our universities? Should we completely ignore it least of our students be converted to it? If we do, we do not educate. We should present it, teach our youth to be critical and intelligent about it, and let them try it if they feel it worthy. In that way it will mercenate only those institutions of government which are harmful, undemocratic, and unprogressive. Long ago Pythagoras said that all things are comprised of numbers. No doubt many students of advanced mathematics are convinced that the ancient philosopher knew whereof he spoke. PUBLICITY Dean Swarthout asks for some plan whereby the Fine Arts department can eliminate its bulletin board and still maintain a clean, fresh veepers to visitors to our campus. He is quite justified in stressing the value of Sunday concerts. They are delightful. If there must be outside announcements, a temporary sidewalk board erected only on Sundays would do as well for the all-musical vespera. The Kanans will be glad to continue its publicity. A signboard in the library would almost certainly reach all the students and some of the visitors who are on the campus on Sunday afternoons. There are many organizations on the Hill presentaving valuable programs and entitled to publicity. Obviously, not all of them can have their own bulletins The Kansas did not intend to exagrate the size of the announcements, but all the little posters and signs stack up on the Commons, on Old Snow, on the do-funny by the car tracks, and in various other places aggregate pretty large as campus defaecations. MORROW OF NEW JERSEY The name Dwight Morrow may mean nothing more than the man who is father-in-law to Lindbergh to a great many persons not particularly interested in political affairs, but Dwight Morrow was a prominent man long before the famous flight to Paris. He was formerly a partner of J. P. Morgan, and he has been an ambassador to Mexico. He mastered a difficult attention there most successfully, and he was instrumental in the French difference in bringing the French and English together with his consultative root. Now be is running for Republican senator from New Jersey on a platform advocating complete repeal of the 18th amendment. He favors home-rule in each state for liquor problems and would vest in the federal government the power to give all those states that desire complete prohibition protection from those states that do not. Because of his unobtrusive personality and his political performances he gives leadership of respectability and gives him to the anti-prohibition movement. Possibly if the Union Operating committee were to establish a date bureau similar to that at the Kansas State Agricultural college the number of stags would decrease. STILL RED HOT? A woman's organization purporting to be investigating the extent of liquor violation writes to ascertaint whether there is an increasing tendency toward the consumption of liquor on the college campus. A prominent judge makes a frank expose of "immoral college youth" to inform an unknowing but suspicious public of college vices. A theologian delivers a powerful sermon to the effect that illicit relationships are resulting from the practice of freedom in matters of sex among college students. In fact, it appears that every organization having for its purpose the preservation of conventional moral standards has placed the American college at the head of its list of subjects need attention. It is but a rehearsal of the past; with the majesty of one generation with its moral consciousness striving earnestly to save another generation from the same fate, by a father seeking to a see a son by incarnation upon him the standards of a past day. Our mores are changing, perhaps, but no one can say definitely just what or how. If we ask the undergraduate himself, he will probably say, either, "What if they are?" or "Well, if they are, there is the advantage of greater freedom and less tao and prejudice. Not that of course that many students don't go so far. They do. After the school, you were only allowed that the lodge would be off; as we on our, our flaming youth' settles down and is now rather more sensible and mature about his pleasures. Interpretation is going." We have had no factual survey of moral conditions in American colleges; but the general opinion of students themselves is that, while the more change, certain old-fashioned standards of temperance still stand. According to the Rollinus idea of education the instructor remains still until questioned by the student. Such procedure would make rather silent classes on Monday morning. "Who was responsible for the World War?" asked the editors of the World Today tomorrow in presenting a symposium of opinions taken from a questionnaire sent to 429 well known authorities on international questions. The public, perhaps, may criticize this procedure on the grounds that is not for the best welfare of the nation. The prevention of another great war, however, depends in considerable degree upon the measure of understanding of the causes and guilt in the last major conflict. The answers show that less than one half of those questioned believe Germany to be entirely guilty of bringing about the war. Of one hundred prominent history professors questioned, only three accredit Germany with sole guilt. One hundred fifty-five of those who responded were of the opinion that the United States had no business enter in the war. WAS GERMANY GUILTY? If we are to derive anything from these varied opinions, it seems to be that men and women who have observed the factors causing the war are generally agreed that not Germany but all of the powers involved in the pungent war. Among the persons who offer this opinion is Norman Thomas, socialist leader, who last year came to the University of Kansas to speak. Similarly numerous editors, historians, philosopher and political national affairs are of the same mind. Everyone is said to be definitely insecure at some time in his life. Those of us who go to college have the good luck to be able to period of abnormality early in life. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Your editorial on campus beautification was read with interest. Naturally you will want to learn more about University Concert Course management are sympathetic and desireous of second-year students. Our project calculated towards an improvement of conditions on the University campus. The Fine Arts sign board has been singled out for particular care as an object serving no particular purpose and is not the size of a large. Comment is offered at all such announcements as it carries from time to time could be well continued to be made. It is perhaps proper to point out a certain service rendered by the Fine Arts bulletin board that has been overridden entirely in the editorial column. The School of Fine Arts through its art and music departments is instrumental in presenting each week of the course to students, with a central to the general public. Beginning next month are the weekly organ veepers with the important all-musical ensemble, the Fine Arts Ensemble, and particularly upon Sunday, many visitors from the surrounding country, many of whom are interested in learning more about the University. The attendance of many of these visitors to the Sunday afternoon organ and all-musical vestibule will be supplemented on these @ Fine Arts board in question. Some of us are also of the opinion that regardless of the excavations through the columns of the Kannon, and through inside plaques that the announcement of the concert's location would present to the large announcement board reaches a large group of students as a reminder at least of what the Fine Arts School management is endeavoring to do, in a better way than any inside placard could do. There are many who have written for reform achievement greatly to magnify the good or bad qualities of any matter under consideration. The The bulletin does render a distinctive service, reaching a group not possible to reach by inside announcements. 11 VARSITY Tonite-Tomorrow Vivid! Daring! Vital!

Socialism is only one step on the way to communism and anarchy. The state is supporting and paying our own money to provide education, socialism, but openly teach it in their classes. By doing that, the state is permitting seeds to be sown that will grow into a strong nation with the final destruction of democracy, and then will come the overthrow of the United States government. Just as the French Revolution follows to advocate theories that eventually result in the destruction of every form of democratic government. I have no objection whatever to persecuting socialism because it teaches what they want, but we iro- gov- C. S. Finch in the Douglas County Republican, 8-30.
