AN ENCOURAGING CASE
After a year and a half, Mrs. Carl Landis, who would not swear to bear arms in defense of this country, has been granted citizenship over the protests of the United States government. She agreed to nurse in a war and to shed her blood if necessary, but not to kill.
It is inconsistent for this country to ask of its applicants for citizenship that they promise what none of its natives need promise in order to remain loyal.
Women are not eligible to fight, much less required to do so. Not even men may be made to participate in a war; they have always had the privilege of pleasing concilientions abjection and consent to demand of this applicant that she promise to kill for this country if it becomes involved in another war.
Mrs. Landis is the first to be admitted to citizenship with such a reservation. Others of the same beliefs have been denied, most notably a Scot, the Yale professor of divinity, who served in the late conflict.
A broader view of allegiance is needed. Humanity should be the object to which men and women pledge fealty.
DOES TIME FLY?
Time has stopped. Maybe it hasn't at other places in this mad, bizarre world of wars, but at Watson library time means nothing—unless you happen to be lucky enough to have worn your Elgin or Ingersoll. You see the clock above the door leading into the room reserve has gone up in despair.
And was it merely a coincidence that it stopped at high noon, or was it that hour when all robberies and murders are supposed to occur—midnight? At any rate, both hands are pointing upward on if pleading to be let out of their glass cage. We suggest that someone kindly take pity on this grand old relic and fix it. Or probably it has just run down. Say, by the way, who winds that old clock, anyway?
A SELF-CONSCIOUS AGE
The modern age is interested in processes; it concerns itself with the "how" of things, rather than the "why." The result has been that we have developed a technique of science, a method of research, and an open-minded and tolerant attitude which have advanced society with comparatively great speed.
But gradually we become more self- conscious. We are aware of society as an organism, always changing, always roostles and, as yet, uncontrolled. Just as man differs from other forms of life by the greater activity and longer infancy which allow him to become conscious of himself as an individual interacting with other individuals and groups, so society is coming to see the complexity of itself, to look for tendencies and interests within itself.
Up till now, self-interest has dominated civilization. From now on, if this self-consciousness develops, we may expect enlightened and social knowledge to control the progress and to avert the disasters which formerly were not comprehended.
Our mores, our conventions, our social attitudes and ideals have not kept pace with our mechanical improvements. Some of our ideas are hangovers from hundreds of years back, and our prejudices descend from a time when conditions were entirely different.
We need a scientific attitude and a method of applying it. We need not only good heartedness but intelligence and judgment.
WAS SHAKESPEARE RIGHT?
It has been said, and by no less an authority than the eminent William Shakespeare, that love is blind. At least the last issue of the Sour Owl credits such a statement to him, and Owlie ought to know, for it bears all the gossip. But to prove such a contention is something else again. That lovers are not blind, but merely groggy with distracting thoughts, seems to be the most logical conclusion, and the Sour Owl is now doing some original investigation in the field to determine which theory will be substantified with fact.
Grunting that all lovers are grigey, if not actually blind, the Sour Owl is now engaged in a search for the school's grognet couple. The search is in the nature of a context and balloting on favorites, it is understood, in order. The names of the winners will be buzzed about as the deluxe edition of perfect lovers and they will receive publicity with what forms we give it with it.
Contests, like the poor, are with us always, and should be taken seriously. Let there be no one to say that this particular one is not without its significance. Only one pair of candidates can win, and what is to become of the lesers? Will their devotion to one another stand the strain of a thwarted ambition to be known as the 1930 counterpart of Romeo and Juliet, or will disappointment bring a rift in their aesthetic relations?
If love is really blind, the couple will say no heed to a world that undervalues and underestimates the quality *f* their love. Will Shakespeare be seven a liar? Mt. Oread anxiously waites the outcome.
CLAUDIA MUZIO
A week from this Monday night the University concert course offers to the students a program of unusual interit.
Claudia Mazio, famous Italian soprano, is the attraction. She has been on the stage since babyhood. She was born in Italy, but when she was two years old her father was made assistant stage manager of the Covent Gardens opera house in atlantic positions with the Metropolitan and Manhattan opera companies.
While she was still very young her father discovered that she had a marvelous voice and took great pains that she should not injure her throat. Until she was thirteen her only means of musical expression was the harp. She made her American debut in 1918 with Metropolitan in the role of *The Woman*.
An opportunity of hearing an artist who is known widely both nationally and internationally should not be passed over. If one neglects an interest in musical culture in college, he is not likely to develop it afterward.
THE KANSAS City social register is out for the year. It all lists the elite, the worth-whele, the persons of that class which alone should be granted the high privilege of representing the human race. The social register, in short, lists only very superior persons.
SOMETHING WE NEED
Such a situation cannot last; the brains of the aristocracy have become equal to the exigencies of the situation, and we have our social registers all over the country to separate the wheat from the chaff.
The cranks who wrote our national constitution for some reason or other banned the granting of patents of nobility. The result has been a degrading, mediocre democracy, where the best people have been considered the equals of those who are practically vagabonds: those "in trade," the bourgeois middle class—even common day laborers and farmers have been permitted to function equally with those who count.
It is不fortunate that Mount Orcad has not seen fit to list its members of the best social status. Such a ranking will shortly come out, undoubtedly; for the data are already well known.
THE WRONG METHOD
Let the number of cars, the kind and combination of Greek letters, the number of bids rated to high-class social functions, the total bank deposit, the political pull, and other essential items be placed on record to the credit of those who deserve such recognition. This lowering democracy we have had here is disguising. We demand a social register!
In Wisconsin, Carroll Blair, 25, is running for governor. He is conducting his campaign behind the bars of a cell, having been sentenced to jail for participating in a Milwaukee communist demonstration.
Blair was a student in the experimental college at the university of Wisconsin last year, which admitted him for exceptional record in scholarship.
There were some 48,000 communist votes cast in the last presidential election. This is about one seventh of one per cent of the entire vote cast in the United States. Bolivarians do not lurk around every corner. Every time some unemployed worker or some strikers or some students parade in our cities—as they have a right—the policemen, mortally frightened, start shoving tear bombs and using their night-ticks.
It is not an intelligent way to handle the situation. Commists have a certain protest to make; perhaps there in some cause for the protest; the unemployed masses may have some protest to make, but the way to handle them is to listen to them and to try to help them, not to start cracking women and children over the heads, as has happened many times.
We trust and believe Kansas is more enlightened in this respect than Wisconsin. We ignore our communities and leave them to work out their own salvation. If their protests are valid, they will grow powerful; if not, they will die cut. To use force in order to stamp out minority opinions is the very way we give publicity to those opinions.

THE total capacity of waterwheel generators built by General Electric in the last ten years is more than enough to supply light and power for twenty cities of one million population. Installed in power houses along the waterways, these machines transform the strength of mighty rivers into useful electric energy for homes, for industry, and for transportation.
The vision and skill of college-trained men are largely responsible for the continuing leadership of General Electric in its service of furnishing machines and devices that provide the swif, sure convenience and the economy of electricity — on land and sea and in the air.
