TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1930 FORCE IN CIVILIZATION It may be disagreeable to admit it but our civilization is based upon force And that basis has inevitably disadvantages which weaken society and hamper its progress. "Love on the basis of a state has never been tried," said Emerson. Our laws, our armies, all our activities in which serious conflict occur are still settled by force. The natural result is suspicion, distrust, hostility, competition, reaction, insincerity, and oppression. We need a new basis for our social organization; for violence, as John Dewey has pointed out, used in attempting to educate only creats antagonism and defends its own ends. As the world comes closer and closer together through the increased speed and ease of travel, through more united communication, through the spread of the English language in talking pictures, and as better knowledge of other peoples is spread through all humanity, it becomes more and more apparent that coercion is necessary only because of misunderstanding and ignorance. All men react as they are acted toward. As Coolay, the Michigan sociologist, said, the golden rule is based on human nature. Human nature, in turn, is the same the world over because it is developed in similar family groups everywhere, groups which are based on co-operation, freedom, and friendship. It seems entirely too idealistic, perhaps, to say that force can be immediately discarded. It could be, though it won't be. The only obstacles to the universal brotherhood which Jesus advocated and which is so consistently sneered at in our daily practice are the stubbornness and ignorance of those who will not see and who brand that objective as "visionary" and "impracticable." Conflict between men will always and should always exist. But discussion and argument, the highest forms of conflict, produce tolerance and a scientific attitude, both of which, as time passes, will be seen to be absolutely incompatible with the use of physical force as a means of protecting society from disintegration and retrogression. WE HAVE WITH US And now comes the time for the wise boys among the, legions of baseball fans to put their respective index fingers to their respective foreheads, cast speculative eyes at the sky, and start making predictions. And most of them will probably back those predictions with good, hard cash. For those who like to gamble have something to gamble on. Ladies and Gentlemen, we have with us again—the World Series! We have with us in this corner the Philadelphia Athletics, champions of last year, led by the wizardy Connie Mack, grand old man of baseball. We have with us in the opposite corner the St. Louis Cardinals, eager and challenging. Thousands of people will jam 'their way through the turreties to witness the struggle between baseball's mightiest. Millions will follow the games through scoreboards and newspaper reports. It's serious business, this game. A large proportion of our staid population will become raving manners for a few days. Dollar will change hands like little nothing of a sermon on the stock market. In Philadelphia and in St. Louis business will be at a stand-till. The world can wait. Men, yes, women too, must have their sport. Ladies and Gentlemen, the batteries for today . . . IOW MUCH SELF-GOVERNMENT! The Women's Self-Government Association was instituted so that all the women should have a voice in the management of their affairs. Yet to what degree do they really control matters? In the first place the W.S.G.A. represents only a minority of the women of the campus. There is the question of whether women vote for the ones they really believe are best suited for the position or for the ones they are told to vote for. The point is, however, no matter who is in office, do they really have the say so about the rules and laws that are passed? This question can be raised about both the W.S.C.A. and the Pan-Tibetan Council although it is difficult to see why such an independent of administration influences than the governing council. It seems improbable that many of the rules governing the women would be imposed upon them by any of their own members without pressure from higher up. Many of the rules seem silly and useless both to outiders and to those affected. The date rule is one of the most prominent of these. Surely women would not have imposed such a monsteraion upon themselves unless they were practically forced to, G.R.A. really meant women's allogrooming. It does not. A LONG TIME BETWEEN BITES President Hoover has broken into print. What does this mean? Is he, perhaps, considering retirement in his illustrious predecessor, the philosopher Coolidge? Does he consider that there is greater opportunity for a man in writing to the public at a dollar or so a word than in receiving a paltry $75,000 a year as President? Recently, we mentioned Al Capone as an interesting author. By this time we can gather a select crowd of politicians who have turned to literature A Smith, Calvin Coolidge, Alphonse Capone, Herbert Hoover. Strong, silent, masterful men all. Perhaps hereafter no man will be eligible for the presidency or high office unless he can convince the voters of his talent as a writer. "It's a long time between bites," mused the President in his book. We must raise more fish so we can catch them faster, he concluded. And, "Fishing is good for the soul of man." Just what the fish have to say on the object is not reported. A STEP BACKWARD The judicial council of Kansas is about to propose a complete reorganization of the Kansas Supreme court and of the Kansas district courts. Justices of those bodies who are holding office on the first day of February following adoption of the constitutional amendment to be submitted to the voters will hold their offices for the rest of their lives. Under the proposal, the voters will no longer vote on these judges; vacancies will be filled by the governor with the consent of a majority of the Suave court members. A more extreme idea has never been presented to the people of Kansas. They will be offered under it only a glorious opportunity to throw away their hard-won democracy by handing their power of judicial selection to the governor and the Supreme court. It cannot be expected that any but the rich and conservative classes would benefit from such a scheme if history can be studied profifically. It may be pertinently pointed out also that the judicial council, which has drafted the plan, contains of its nine members three men who are either district or Supreme court judges and one with a brother who is a district judge. In short, the judicial council has originated a grand contraption to hand its own members their jobs for good. USE THE CROSSING MARKS fic situation will be in good working order. After many years of work the traffic question has been formed into a working proposition. Parking spaces have been defined and a speed limit has been set and is being enforced. There is one more question that needs to be solved, however, before the traf- This is concerned with the poses trians rather than the drivers. The University has gone to a great deal of trouble and expense have crossings marked by yellow lines at various points on the campus which, if need, would do a great deal to eliminate congestion between classes and at noon. When the whale blow students out of the buildings are swarm across the streets wherever the choose and it is a nervewracking task for anyone to drive along the campus at this time trying not to hit anyone. Perhaps it would be a wise thing it add a few more rules to the traffic laws that would prohibit crossing the campus at any points except those when are drawn and then to have the laws as strictly enforced as the others. THE SPANISH FUTURE Dietator Berenquer of Spain has loosened alightly the repression of freedom under which Spain has suffered for seven weary years. Saturday the leaders of the Spanish republicans assembled a great crowd of 20,000 in the bull ring at Madrid to discuss government. The police were on hand, but no interference was made with the speakers, although denunciation of the king and the dictator was frequent. Under de Rivers, whom Beringer succeeded, revolts were frequent; but to any one who looked upon them as proletarian uprisings toward a democratic republic, disappointment was due. There never has been any real proletarian party in Spain; and fights between the nobles have been the only ones which have agitated the country since the war. Spanish peasants need to go far to be well enough organized and educated to demand their own government. In spite of the large crowd that met Saturday, in spite of the 60 per cent increase in the Socialist party for the past year, and in spite of student protests against censorship, Spain has no real party of protest against its military rulers. It will almost certainly continue under a reactionary administration for some time because the people are, as a whole, too illiterate and unorganized to take much interest in their government. Catch the big "K. U. vision." It is high time that people of the University of Kannas pay heed to the real talent which is exhibited in the greater part of the Faculty Recitals, and it will be time to appreciate the artistry and excellent training of some of our instructors. The first faculty recital, held on Monday evening in the Administration Auditorium, was given by Roy Underwood, a student of artistry and finished performance. Mr. Underwood knew what he wanted to do with the numbers his Hisc choice of numbers was especially happy, since he seems to execute the works of the old masters with polish and clarity. He posed entirely of the works of Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Liszt and Chopin. As a general comment on the original performance, Mr. Underwood played difficult passages easily and with a technic truly amusing in the tremendous climaxes. At the Recital From the first notes of the "Ogran Prelude in G Minor" (Bach-Silvon) to the last bold crescendo of the "Ternartin," he must have been extremely perplexed. Perhaps it was admiration of his mastery of technic and of his rather nice touch. One certainly could not call him a soulful player. There was too much at stake for that. However, we find that the *Benediction De Dieu Dans La Solitude* (Linst) tended only toward a simple utterance of feeling. Nothing else would play it on a powerful theme well played. Perhaps the "Sonata in G Major" by Schumann showed greater versatility than the cello. All of the four movements showed nice contours and a large sustained toms, as well as octave runs that were easier for the cellist. We were a bit too pronounced to be pleasing to the ear. The Andantino and Scherzo movements were better done The runs and pleasing rhythmical swing in the "Three Contre-Tanz" by Beethoven-Sess, added a fighter and daintier element to the program, and prompted the audience to judge by the applause from the audience. Two Chopin numbers completed the program. In these, a joyous mood prevailed, and the contrasting passages gave opportunity for黛尔舞. Mr. Underwood was generous with encores, and responded after each of the last three groups. For his last encore, he played the musing tonal "The Little White Donkey," by Ebert. family.
