THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1929 SPEEDING AND DISCRETION What is speeding on the University campus? According to the interpretation given by those directing the traffic situation it is explained about as follows: Speeding is that act of a driver which "will endanger the life, limb and property of another." Albeit that is the way that early legislation on the campus defined it. So, it is a matter of discretion for the driver, is it? But leave it up to the driver in this coarseage use of mechanical mastery, and he thinks that he is such an expert that the Lord himself smiles begrigantly on his clever adapness in piercing credit for a quick get-away. Leave it up to the pedestrian and he thinks that cars are made out of brakes or pedals to make them stop in case he should dart across congested ways for a class. Or if he thinks otherwise he stands on the curb waiting until he thinks some "cautions" driver is in sight before venturing further. Now who is responsible to whom? That is the problem up before the campus and councils for settlement. The matter needs careful considerate attention before a successful system can be worked out. Suggestions from the pedestrian and driver must form a nucleus for the regulations. Then, says the Thoughtful Freshman, when we all get through gripping about athletics and the athletic department will continue likely all the evils therein will continue to exist or not to exist accordingly as they exist or do not exist now. ON THEIR OWN GROUND Three Yankees welcomed three Britishers on the American court. The men from Oxford graciously waged argumentative war against the Kansans. What is more, the invaders, reputedly masters of entertaining logic, were met with their own weapons. The Kansans met them graciously on their own ground. The result was more fortunate than we pessimistically had prophesied before the debate. The Oxford type of debate is a thorough treat in comparison with America's "This is so" type. When we see three magnetic speakers, such as the Oxford men, appear on one side of the platform and three of our own men appear on the other side, really to stand in favorable comparison, we simply forget logic and enjoy ourselves awhile. At last certain departments on the Hill have begun to talk about moving into the new Snow hall; so maybe in completion it's not a myth. CONVENTIONAL AND GENERAL The convocation speech made Wednesday morning by William S. Culbertson on American relations with Chile seemed to be little more than the conventional thing said in the conventional way. Not a few of the audience went away a bit disappointed. A diplomat is a representative of his government at home as well as abroad. He tells his fellow citizens that which his position permits him to say, Mr. Colbertson conventionalized and generalized his information until it sounded like a lesson in geography and a part of Will Durant's debate speech. His pan-Americanism consisted of a pat on the-back for the United States, a boast for Chile, and "peace on earth, good will toward men." All of which, no doubt, is very true, but many in the audience had expected a more critical treatment of the problem of South American relations, a treatment which Mr. Cullerboni certainly should be qualified to give. But after all, he is a diplomat, and his speech offended no one. The Oxford and K, U. debaters distinguished themselves from Durant and Bertrmid Russell in that they both debated in wincersk. OVER-EMPHASIZES Too many county clubs place an over-emphasis on athletics in the programs which are given in Kansas high schools during the Christmas vacation. A large number of K. U. students seem to think that the best way to interest high school students in college is to inform them of the size of the stadium, the process of the football team, and the ranking of the school in athletics. Speakers are often selected whose interests are in athletics primarily, not in scholarships. Thus, an appeal is made to a certain class, high school grid and court stars, rather than to athletes. Perhaps someone has discovered that more and more better athletes may be induced to attend the University through the medium of the clubs. Athletes have its place and the school may need athletic timber, but we feel that the clubs have a more important mission to fulfil, than merely to recruit players. A visitor on the Hill was just too tenacious when she was ascertained hat the Triangle fraternity boys vally did not live at HENLEY House. GOOD BUSINESS The third raise in fifteen years in the scale of wages paid employees has been announced by Henry Ford. Beginning on Dec. 1, the minimum wage was raised to seven dollars a day. In 1914 when Mr. Ford made his first raise from $2.54 to a minimum of $5.00 industries helped, and predicted dire results from such a policy. The plant continued to grow, however, and five years later when many industries were worrying about post war conditions, Henry Ford raised the scale another dollar a day. The increase recently announced is not as radical a step as either of the former two, but it is a step in an industrial progress which the public would like to see followed in other major industries. The American public has outgrown the day when it swallowed hook, hait, and sinker propaganda that it is impossible to raise wages without increasing the price or decreasing the material in the product. That one major industry has ably illustrated the practicality of a living wage without decreasing the value of the product or raising its price is only one of the positive trends toward a sounder economic basis for American industry.

And Now Hobo Day Copyright 2016, New Haven Public Library Daily Kansan! Hobe Day is one of the few tradition that has a meaning for the entire student body. On that day all students are expected to forget all of them forgetting their false pride, A feeling of unity and school spirit is established and the University is invoked in ways by reasoning that we become loyal, but through our emotions. If Hobe Day asks the student body to give up the school, it should be maintained. Naturally, some of the students do not have the right attitude toward school and as a reaction to see how much property they can destroy and how much damage they can do. But should Hobe Day fail to recognize the acts of a few students. If the faculty and student body would co-operate to make Hobo Day a reality, it would be feeling, and a day for the creation of school spirit. It could be made a feature. We take pride in good athletic teams because they are a part of the University. We teach them to kill the spirit which backs our teams and makes us have a fierer feeling for our Alma Mater? How do we express through an established tradition than by acts of rowdyism such as took place before the KU- He Likes His Booing Daily Knsan: We require your editorial writer who dialkies booing and hissing at the movies, that I, for one, won't stop. I want to attain my feet at home and I'm not going to Bow's grummy waitress' accent; I long to grimp on my teeth nudely when Hollywood puts sticky philosophy into the mouth of tubes and suck into her throat. The local movie managers know which pictures I present. And just because I have refused to read Mrs. Poirat's诈騨 book I guess I shall pretend I'm not a movie director. This is probably irrelevant, but my mention that your editorial editor provincial? Hissing is the favorite nunities of such badly brought up people, like in the Theatre Francis, La Scha, and Tondela Jayhawker. Aggie game: —A Cheerleader -J. S. H. Five Good Reasons to Eat at 1.
