WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 1930 WHAT ARE CO-EDS AFTER? Instructors object to having young women in their college classes because "the average girl is not so much after an education as she is grades, and she cares not a bit what means she uses to get them", says Dr. Donald A. Laird of College university. Average seems to be too forceful a word to be used in describing women students of the above class. There may be some of them, but not enough to make such a condition the average of the college. As a general rule women in the University show genuine interest in their classes and their courses. Perhaps they talk more than some of the men in the class, but that does not mean that they are necessarily talking around a subject. It might possibly mean that they needed more information than the professor had offered and were using the only means available to gain real understanding. Very few young women try to get grades through "a yalge from time to time", and they most certainly would not get them if the instructor took notice of their actions. Of the men Doctor Laire says, "Their sportsmanship make them fight for academic recognition fairly", Most of them do it, is true but the assumption that all men do so is quite as illogical as the theory that the average woman student does not. No doubt there are some of both sexes among our students who attempt to get grades by unfair means. Not all business men are honest; some doctors are quacks; and religion has its hypocrites, but no one advocates the abolition of either business, medicine or religion. Co-education can be given sufficient trial before de-emcoupling it. They don't seem quite the same since W. K. Henderson and radio station KWKH aren't on the front page every day. ACADEMIC FREEDOM The board of curators of the University of Missouri are back in the headlines over their dismissal last fall of two faculty members, Dr. Harman O. DeGraff and Dr. Max Meyer, because of the alleged impropriety of a n sex questionnaire. Dr. James Harvey Rogers, in relegating to take a professorship at Yale, firing a parting shot at the university for its treatment of academic freedom. Since he had intended to resign why, his remark, that Missouri is no longer intended for a scientist, is obviously intended as a rebuke. The remark, of course, was probably unnecessary; as useless it ever is to protect an obnoxious censorship. But a correspondence "news story" in Sunday's edition of a metropolitan paper is surely taking a good bit for granted when it accuses Doctor Rogers of being merely the mouthpiece of a group of troublemakers on the Missouri faculty. The American Association of University Professors rebuked the administration sharply for the dismissal of the two professors last fall. The whole article was rather disregreatful, and showed a deplorable willingness to be led by the nose on the part of administration officials. Doctor Stratton D. Brooks, president of the University, was quoted as referring to the research in question as "sooner sociology", and in even more uncomplimentary terms. Doctor Brookes, naturally, regrets seeing the subject brought forth again. Since he resents it even to the extent of indulging in personalities, it is still rather doubtful if academic freedom is safe at Missouri. The time is drawing near when pledges will start the annual dandelion picking. FIRESIDE FORUMS Now that the fireplace forums are well started in a number of organized houses, there arises the question of how successful they will be this year. In past years, the talks by faculty members have received no small amount of attention from the students who have heard them. It is hoped that they will receive as much consideration now. This is, however, a matter that reverts entirely on the attitude of the members of the houses in which the forums are held. If students consider it their duty to listen to men and women of the faculty, the series cannot fail. With the general excellence of the speakers scheduled, and with their interesting topics, the forms should be successful. VOTE FOR THE BEST Yesterday, nominations of officers for the coming year were made by both W.S.G.A. and Y.W.C.A. It will not be long until election time is here and women will be called upon to vote. The W.S.G.A. vote is fairly representative. By its organization only offices attend meetings, and the work is left to them. On the other hand, Y.W.C.A. meetings are open to anyone who desires to attend. The number attending is usually rather small and the work is, of necessity, left to a small number of women; but when election time comes around a great many come to the meeting and talk about how much interested they are in the work, cast their votes for their friends, and are seen no more until election time next year. The offices of the University organizations should not be bargained for, but should be filled by the persons most capable of fulfilling the duties thereof. It is the responsibility of the women of the University who vote to elect the best person for the position regardless of her affiliations. A LIBERAL CLUB There have been a few rumors over the Hill concerning the possibility of organizing a liberal club, where speakers might be invited to lead groups in constructive thinking. It seems to the Kansan that such a club would be of great benefit to the University. The Dove has attempted to offer a channel for unrestricted expression, but it has not invariably been liberal. It has acquired such an unsavory reputation that many instructors who would otherwise be interested, hesitate to have their names connected with the publication. If a club was established for that sole purpose of promoting liberal thought and expression, these same instructors would gladly aid; and many students would feel more inclined to participate. A club of this sort would get expressions of student opinion and by so doing would, under good leadership, be a real educational force on the campas.

War Questionnaire Giver Results Find Chicago Students Have Different Ideas Science Service Chicago—War or peace? That question was put to 1,400 University of Chicago faculty and fell in love with the item questionnaire prepared by D. D. Dehn of the University's psychologist. Results show that more educated students are not so war-loving as those who have completed less than a bachelor's degree or militaryrize than men. Protestants are more pacifistic than Catholics, and there is more support than either Republicans or Democrats, and ex-soldiers tend to be more liberal than Protestants gone to war. Students of American parentage have better opinions of war than students of mixed and for-ground parents. "Catholic and Lutheran seem to be, on the average, the least pacifistic churches of the ten compared," said Mr. Drubra. "Jews appear to be more favorable in peace than Muslims, but they must be made for the large percentage of students of foreign parentage among the Jews." Wealth plays no important part in affecting the student's attitudes towards this matter, Mr. Drubra's test PROF. W. S. JOHNSON. PROF. ALLEN CRAFTON. "No significant differences in attitudes were found between groups (classified according to monthly expenses)," he concluded.

George O. Foster, registrar, was unable to say whether this was an all-time record. He made straight "AS" for eight consecutive semesters, but doubled whether any one had equaled the record of jenkins, at least within three months. Jenkins secured a University fellowship in English at the end of last year and is now working on his master's thesis. He was born some time of the influence of Oriental literature on American poetry. He is a member and past president of Rudhamthani, and was also a member of the literary club during his undergraduate years. Jenkins's record is remarkable in that he was dependent on his own efforts, and that he attended education. After completing his high school course at Carrollton, Mo., he remained out of school for two years, earning a salary money to enroll at the University. During his sophomore and junior years, he was employed in the office of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. His summaries are written for the office of the House Supply company, of Tulsa as a stenographer.

The Ohio State University faculty is considering returning to the semester plan after operating almost completely. Among principal objections to the quarter system is the necessity of accommodations coming too frequently.
