FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1930 STUDENT MOOCHERS You know the type. You see them and talk with them every day. Some not just as ordinary as usual, while others are all sugar and sweetness in a way you can hug one for lecture notes, reading notes, or already-written experiments. The moocher is an artist in concerting excuses for failure of preparation. As a rule, he has had so much more work to do than any one else that really is not his fault that he must mooch his tests or experiments. He last has not had time to get them all You have seen the student who has been given at least two weeks for a certain amount of outside reading, yet the night before an examination he has not been inside of the library. In panic he runs to his more conciousious fraternity brother and pleads with tears in his eyes for a chance to see the other's notes. To elimix the incident, the mooch goes to class the next day with Lady Luck, takes the quiz, and makes a better score than his ride. There is also the mover who he always too tired or distracted to take notes in class. There is the mover who can never find time to write up an experiment, yet he can spare a few minutes two or three nights in the week to attend the theater. Little can be done about the situation, however, for the mover is usually the student who is smart enough to prepare his own lessons if, and this is a harsh term, he could overcome his own laxiness. A GHOST WALKS The doubtfully valid dismissal of two M. U. professors last fall came up, once again, perhaps assuming the proportions of an issue. Yesterday Governor Henry S. Caulfield of Missouri found it necessary to state, "In any event, I believe that single incident was not of sufficient importance nor of a nature to cause members of the faculty to feel any mental restraint in any proper educational research." On the other side of the fence among those who think the incident of considerable importance, are these. The dean of a long-established school in the University of Missouri, who said to the board of curators at the time of the dismissal that it "would do harm to the University, because it would be generally regarded among academic communities as interference with academic freedom and research . . . The most harmful result would be the effect upon the University's recruiting grounds, from which faculty members must be obtained. It would lower the reputation of the University of Missouri". The American Association of University Professors, of which a committee investigated the affair and last month in closing its report, "Under the present administration the University of Missouri is not an institution where scholars may go and work with the assurance of the freedom in teaching and research, and the security of tenure granted in the ranking universities of this country." Dr. James Harvey Rogers, economist, who in resigning his professorship at M. U. to go to Yale second this statement and was complimented on his outspoken protect by colleagues on the M. U. faculty. The two professors themselves, Dr. Harmon B, deGraff and Dr. Max F, Meyer, o two reputable sociologists whom the board of curators would have ostracized from the profession if their friends had not taken up their cause. Students, research workers, and teachers in schools all over the country, who are likely to find themselves "on the carpet" because of a mixer-presentation of their endeavors before the public, or because of the activity of minority groups they may happen to offend. And there are indications that the incident is likely to be of importance to Dr. Stratton D. Brookes, president of the University of Missouri, and Governor Caulfield, whether they wish it or not. It would be unfortunate if such a matter should get into the question must be answered. LEGALIZED DATING Probably the principal motive of the W. S. G. A, in revising the date rule was to legalize a practice which has been going on contrary to and in spite of the old rule. Those in authority realize that disrespect for a law, even through the law be futile, breeds disrespect for law in general. But we are not as much concerned with the motive of the W. S. G. A, as with the response which the students will make to the new rule. Unoubtedly, some will interpret its provisions as giving them increased license for indulging hedonistic tendences. In time, however, the relation of a student's ability to pay and the demands of his classroom activities will force him back to the old level on which he functioned before the date rule went into effect. There need be little fear that if the long run, the new rule will result in more license. The question is, will the new freedom wake students to their responsibility and cause them to think more seriously? If the new rule does succeed in making students realize that if they go the limit with the new freedom they are simply injuring themselves, it will have accomplished a real purpose on this campus other than merely legalizing a practice which already was in existence. GOLD STAR MOTHERS Twelve years ago men were dying by the thousands on foreign battlefields, leaving thousands of broken hearts. Many of those who died were buried where they fell and today only a small white marble cross marks each grave. In May the first group of gold star mothers and widows will begin their pilgrimage to visit the graves of their loved ones in France. The passing of an act by the seventieth congress enabling these women to make the pilgrimage was indeed a good move. There are many who could never have borne the expense of so long a trip. At this time there are 6,739 women who have signified their intention of making the trip. In this group Kansas will have 223 mothers and widows and Missouri 372. These gold star mothers and widows re embarking on a sad trip, yet they do he笑 he happier, after they have seen their children suffer, so the final resting place of loved ones.

A Paying Investment CORK STATES At 65 years of age Albert Frederick Cook, physician and explorer, will be released from Leavenworth penitentiary after having served seven years. COOK STARTS AGAIN contrary to expectations, Cook has seemed to profit by his stay in prison. He has gained weight, and is in good health and excellent spirit. While serving his term he has been editing the penitentiary newspaper and in this work he has done an actually constructive work. The experience and the constant writing have made him enthusiastic over continuing writing after he leaves his present address. Whatever the faults of the modern penitentiary, and there are many, certainly they were not much in evidence in this case. Cook is in a better position to face life now, than he was before he started working out his sentence, 80 such a case is unusual and cannot help but attract our attention when it occurs. LAWRENCE Business College Lawrence, Kansas. THE BUILDING STRIKE From here it is hard to say whether absolute justice lies on the side of the employers or workers in the building strike at Kansas City. The strikes are aiming at a five-day week with the same pay received now for the five and one-half day week. It seems to us, even if we disregard the merits of either side, that the strike demonstrates a class alignment that should be regarded as unfortunate. "The Builders" association is asking for the support every bank, investment house, and business man in town," (sie) Mr. Fogel said. The moral support of the Chamber of Commerce has been asked and that of the Merchants' Association will be naked, he said. "We have talked to nearly every bank and investment house in the city already and not one to my knowledge has refused us support," Mr. Ford said". So reported the Kansas City Times for March 4. The vested interests elonging for "the prosperity of Kansas City." These combined and very powerful masters evidently do not wish to share any of the prosperity they are about to get with the workers, even to the extent of a theoretical ten per cent increase in wages. The strikers are not wicked bandit* (trying to boot their rightful overborders. Most of them wish more opportunities for their generally underpaid families. The employers are not cruel tyrants; they just do not understand; and, having the upper hand, they stand together in a grim determination to hold down the bolsheviks under them. Let them both realize that true prosperity comes from fairness and conciliation. --class, let us say, at 8:30, another at 10:30. The question arrives, where shall be spend the intervening hour?

There, we are offered experiences to which we are called. We learn to live as beings living as being different from any others we shall ever have. And how Our New Date Rule Editor, Daily Kansan: Jaska Turone. It is an insult to the intelligence of university women so to intimidate that they do not and cannot enjoy or maintain a conversation for more than a half hour or so not go gandalf about, constantly diversion. We are rapidly becoming women of sound judgment—having our decisions made for us. We are learning to send messages, and we sent to motion picture shows. We are being initiated into the duties of a hostess—bidding our guests a polite welcome—and introducing ourselves to the principals of democracy—being thrust out into the highways and by-ways and where they may leave without sample. And rightly at that! For law should serve some beneficial end and be enforced. Whereas, in most cases, the laws Study Room Requested r. Daily Kansan: It ought to be obvious to even the most casual observer, that the student who has the most, if not all, of his classes in the west Administered schools, certain students vantages which other students do not have to meet. Consider for example, he has Elgin Watches Beautiful Models for Ladies or Men $15.00 and up Frigidaire Hydrator Shimmons Bros. before buying an Automatic Refrigerator CHOICE CUT FLOWERS Whitcombs Greenhouse Phone 275 Ninth at Tenn. St Now my question is this. Would it not be possible to enclose some room in the west Administration building with a few tables and chairs to use as a study room by those students in two classes? Or if a room be not available, a few seats placed in the center section of the Administration building on the first and second floor, a long way toward solving the problem. Plumbing, Wiring and Frigidaire 836 Mass. -I. G. D. Any one who doubts the existence of such a problem, needs only to stroll through this section of the building and see the students studying and posing questions, most uncomfortable positions, trying to study. Either of the above plans, the fire by preference, could be put in operation at small cost, and would, I am sure, save the students in this building.
