THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1930 FOGGY LONDON The conference on naval armaments may well be regarded as one of the turning points of history. The issues are momentous to the interests of the common people. What is happening around a plush covered table in London concerns us all. We need to know what's back of the news from London, To understand what the conference is all about, the various types of vessels that go to make up our navies of today must be kept in mind. In addition to battleships, navies include cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and air-craft carriers. Such is the fleet of the present day. The question of the abdication of the battleship and submarine is on the program of the London conference. The question of parity of armament between France and Italy, between the United States and England is also on the program for much discussion. France asks that she be given a greater measure of political security as the price of reduction. Japan has asked for a higher ratio of naval strength than the other powers are willing to grant. Over against the difficulties there can be set down the determined will of the peoples of five participating nations that the conference shall not fail. These people who are paying out such a large proportion of their public funds on war-ships rebel, especially since they have a peace pact that has outlawed war. The voice of the civilian will be heard at London. The five delegates who represent the United States are non-military men. "We will reduce our naval strength in proportion to any other", promised President Howard Armistice day 1929. One by one the other nations echo this sentiment. Ruminous competition in the construction of armaments must have an end. The calendar says it is only February, but this sure is March wind! UNDOGMATIC RELIGION Bishop McConnell, the speaker for religious week, is here to open the way to our thinking this week and to guide our thoughts along the channels in which we find ourselves. He will not attempt to define religion, nor to tell us how to live, but if possible he will help us to face the many movements which the student world and the world in general have to face. These are not problems in themselves, but reflect underlying needs. Bishop McConnell has devoted much of his time to young people and especially those of college age. It is to them especially that he carries a message dealing with new approaches in Christian thinking, practices, and experiences. Religion is not a fantastic dream, but a real thing which plays a significant part upon the personal and social problems that arise in every day life. "Quick showed the effects of drinking. Following the reprimand to Quick for failure to arrest Troy, Chieh McMullan ordered Troy held on charges of driving while intoxicated." Somebody is bound to get into trouble when kidnapping the charge. We all recall Alimee's dive into the sea. It is of importance to know who drank first and what, where they got it and how; the corruption of police officers should be zealously guarded against. LET'S HEED THE WARNING The Memorial Union building through "fire-preof," holds the most hazardous fire-trap on Mount Oread. With mume floor and soft-pine lumber as the basis of the third-story dance floor, and with scattered pieces of gum-wrapers, cigar packages, and decorations, what will fail in the cold or of casting smoldering exigent stubs cascading about? Should a fire result from a "snip" being thrown through one of the wide cracks in the west dance floor lobby, there would be a panic—all would be jammed in the fire-trap with no way of escape except a small stairway on the east side. This exit exit is not designated with a "fire exit" sign and is known only to employees of the subli A fire escape should be built to protect students from such hazards. Without such an escape, victims would have 20 feet to jump to the ground on the east and 60 feet on the west. Even the floor under the small fire extinguisher in the hallway upstairs has many charred marks from lighted cigaret stubs — an example of the carelessness which prevails in our Union at every party. These spring days remind us that spring elections are not far off. KANSAS BOWS TO OLD AGE Easter holidays and the Kansas Re-lays occur at the same time this spring. Students result in this arring ment and discuss at length the diffi culties by which it will inconvenience them. A similar situation occurred four years ago when Kansas' fourth annual relays were held during spring holidays. These inconveniences take place because of the Drake and Penn Relays. They have been held 20 and 35 years, respectively, and therefore have supremacy over Kansas in selection of dates. The Kansas Relays, third oldest, is placed in the best remaining position available. This has been in the latter part of April for many years. Should students express a selfish desire that all events on the Hill meet their personal convenience? Doctor Allen wishes to have no conflict with spring holidays but this year it cannot be avoided and yet retain the athletic selectivity which the Kansas Relays strive to attain. FLAUNTED AGAIN Congress may flaunt the constitution to its heart's delight, and with no check—Arch Jarrell. Wherein the crudite Arkansas Cities wrote—as so he didn't mean, "he didn't mean. His member club is on the way." Relations between the Journa- World and the Kanana have always been most cordial; now they are strengthened, and the bonds will bind even more strongly, since it has come to our support in the flout-for-float and flaut-for-flaunt campaign. In the past the Kansan seemed to stand alone in this great movement to have papers of the middle-west say what they mean. With the Journal-World lending us support it will not be long ever the battle is won. And the Kansan will always feel proud of the Journal-World for this outstanding demand for truthfulness in the press. Journal World. In a few weeks the state legislature will again meet and will make appropriations for various agencies and institutions throughout the state. TEAR DOWN SNOW HALL The University of Kansas has one of the most beautiful campuses in the middle-west and the state is doing all it can to keep that reputation, and the legislature should not overlook one thing that has been an eye-neer to the campus for the past several months—Snow hall. Snow hall has been a picturesque building in its time, but that time is now over, since the beautiful new Snow has been built. It not only looks old and dilapidated, but it is concealing one of the most beautiful buildings on the campus, the library. Visitors on the campus wonder why such a building, not in use, should be allowed to stand. And why should it? Surely it isn't left there because of sentimentalities. Or is it money? If it were torn down, a great deal of the old material could be put to other use such as a new Oreand high school. Perhaps the state legislature will give this mitter some attention and make some appropriation for teaching it down. If so, the campus will be improved to a very great extent. Campus Opinion Cheering Sportsmanship --in Editor Daily Kramer I would like to take this concurence overnight on the subject of cheering, which the writer of your editorial on "Our Cheering Heroes" apparently overlooked. The work of the team in the basketball league is perhaps more to be attributed to every loyal Jayhawker, and the enthusiasm of the crowd certainly must have come up to the expectations of a large audience, leading, (the volume at least). The writer of your editorial was grieved because the pep organizations were not making themselves compulsive to participate at various times during the evening was not the absence of the pep squads, but the presence of many students whose uppermannalike actions were so disrespectful to the numerous times that the referee's decisions were met with "booos," (not "boooz") some would think of attacking a player when a statue was sent in, (a clean, hard-fighting athlete, by the way), these same "tin horn sports" let to a volley of "boooz" and "hisses" to welcome a player. The display is not the kind of cheering that Doctor Allen and the Kansas players want, to help them win their court battles. I want to make it abolish the deception of the disciplinctor of the whole hosty. There was however, a sufficient number of these poor spectators to bring credit to the students who do know it. Between halves, these "wine-cracker" showed themselves to be even more rude than they had been during their performance; girls who danced for the entertainment of the spectators should have gotten the hand that it deserved. In addition, those thoughtless stilts prevented those who did appreciate what was being done for their entertainment from even having the chance or the desire of the feet. I would like to see if there are others who want to have more sportspallantism and athletic contests. Also, I believe that the Kosan can improve this situation "cheering heroes", that their efforts to help are out of step with the real world. Phillin Space. Backward Horse Tracks Aided James Brother St. Paul—(UP) —Jim Dewarth thinks that the James boys, *grand and Jessie*, were queer fellows. They went on a journey where horses put on their horses backward. "You see," he confided, "the shearerigite poussie never wore able to climb. But their horses' trails always led to where they had been, not where they came." For many years Dewar worked in a Kansas City blackmil shop. In 1975, he conducted regular bank robbery expeditions throughout Missouri and New York. Dishonesty is by far the most prevalent university student vice, according to Dean S. H. Goodnight, of the University of Wisconsin. Drinking, gambling, lying and smoking are no different among collegians than any other group in college, with minor vices that cause the most trouble for the dean of men.

Chairman A red nectice—a voice vigorous and informal—a smile expressive and hearty—that is what you notice about Bishop McConnell at first. When he starts speaking evidences of his wit flash through what he says. But one feels serious while one thinks it is insulting. His point rather than bids it, he McConnell devis. with problem-solving, reducing mountains to mule-peak conditions, and working with a brief statement so clear and logical that no other explanation is needed. "People keep saying that religion is dead. They have to keep saying it over and over again. When a thing is really dealt it need only one aid. Yesterday at his first meeting, when he was speaking to members of the ministerial alliance, Y. M. and J. D. Campbell met with the committee, the Bishop took the opportunity to ask questions as well as tell some of his plans for the coming meetings. McConnell was invited to the former meeting of a student forum. "What kind of questions will come up at the forum? Will they be seen? What should you tell them what they call in England, becklers?" The Bishop was assured that the questions while probably not ex-actually possible would not be of a beckling nature. "I'm not going to talk on local amputations problems," the Bishop tated. "Drinking, personal liber- ance, and self esteem are alex with individual students and can't be considered in an address to the entire student body." "Some of the students at the University have alarming definitions of religion," one of the ministers complained. "What's it called in question?" The Bishop agreed that religion was hard to define—and intimated that a definition was not necessary. "It's like defining life. You can't just put it on your chest and you might put too much in." Someone else suggested that students find it difficult to see a person's face when they are not in a force. "Yes, I find that true on every campus. It is a common problem," she said. "Students were thinking as they are now on religious questions," the student Women Desire to Smoke in Georgia U.
