ANOTHER DRY HOMECOMING
The annual advance allegation has been made that there will be no drinking, or amwph, not very much, at the Kansas Homecoming.
Past experience has shown that such expectations have not materialized. Alumni come back with their flasks to show gallibrate undergraduates college life as it used to be. Students themselves feel the occasion demands celebration, whether the Alumni provide incentive or not. Perhaps the students influence the alumni Blame cannot be centralized.
Those in charge of Homecoming a course with the event carried on it an orderly and commendable manner But the conduct of a huge Homecoming crowd can be controlled only by public opinion. Homecoming officials must have support of the entire school. Much of the responsibility lies with the students, particularly those who live in organized houses.
A few years ago certain influential alumni visited their fraternity house during Homecoming. They brought their flasks with them. The officers of the fraternity invited them to refrain from drinking, or to leave the house. The alumni refrained. But the fraternity invited them to respect the courage and principles of the fraternity officers, as was demonstrated by the fact that their financial donation to the chapter that year was larger than usual.
The call of the jungle is heard or the campus speedway and in two seconds a couple of coins, a beaver two ponies and a muskrat appear and dive into the tomean.
A little courage such an this or the part of other students would go a long way in putting the pressure of public opinion against making Home coming a week-end of delauzery.
FURTHER PROOF
The uneasness of women was further demonstrated today when one of the women editorial writers of The Kansan was given a copy of the prize-wining campus problem speech by Joe McDowell on "The Uuselessness of Women," and asked to write a reply to it. She returned in a few moments, looking dazed and a little hysterical. She had written nothing. So for your perusal we are printing the oration "is as," or "was as," according to a draft of the speech given us by the winner. Perhaps our feminine writer can think up adequate reply by tomorrow. This is a serious matter that should not be plunged into hastily.
THE DICTATOR
Mussolini says that a one-man rule is the best form of government, in an recent article which he wrote for the North American Newspaper Alliance. He defines a good government as "stable, just and efficient," and from these attributes he undertakes to prove the superiority of a dictatorship.
He is right—if the dictator is a super-man. A government will be more efficient where all the power and responsibility is placed in the hands of one man. But it does not guarantee a more stable and just government than the parliamentary system.
The welfare of the nation depends upon the selection of one man, the dictator. A man of ordinary ability and good intentions will not have foresight enough to rule the destines of millions of persons to the best interests of all. In view of this, the citizenry can best rely on the judgment of a majority of its best leaders rather than chance the success of such an intricate piece of machinery to the supervision of one man.
A swimming meet between halves in the canal in front of our stadium would provide the "new and different entertainment" for which homecoming committee is searching.
WEATHERING ANOTHER STORM
Senator Borah and his insurgent may constitute only a small proportion of the Democratic party, but they constitute a part which is causing some worry and much comment among party members. That the party has survived splits, as all parties must, is granted; but the cost he beard dear. The great split in 1912 when Roosevelt and his Progressives pulled a large number of votes elected a Democratic president. The split on technical points caused a loss of an election where major issues of the Progressives and Republicans were identical. The United States today needs legislation and enactment of laws which will suffer if dissension within the ranks of leaders is allowed to take hold. In the complex party system of this government political strife involves national well-being. The party may stage a come-back, whether the strife be in the Democratic or Republican ranks but the enactment of legislation which results distrubs national equilibrium.
"Kansas Wades On"—headline 1 K, C. Star. Which shows how a foot ball victory and a good road cam can be incorporated.
AUSTRIA'S HEALTH
Austria's delicate health concerns world powers who must watch her closely for the sake of peace in Europe. Riots in Austria have been the result of extreme bitterness between the two political parties, the Socialists and the Heimwehr groups. The Socialists have concentrated in Vienna, and the "Heimwehr terror" exists throughout the Austrian countryside. Heimwehr is a reactionary swing of the pendulum against the errivagacies of revolution.
A complete disarmament of both bodies is the only final solution. It is the task of Chancellor Scholber, the police president of Vienna, to see that this is effected with the maximum of "face-saving", especially for the Heimwehr. Chancellor Scholber's bill has been introduced. It is more reactionary than anticipated; it the Heimwehr declare that it is only another step on the road to abolition of parliament and to fascist dictatorship. If this comes about, another country will have lost democracy.
WELL HAVE TO BREAK
MORE PREJUDICE
Signs have been paced in various University buildings asking the students not to smoke. This will work in a hardship upon those students who cannot wait until they reach out of the door before they reach for a Lucky or graduate to a Camel.
Of course most of the buildings are old, and sufficiently oil-soaked to be excellent fire-traps, but who care? The stairs in any building would make veritable holocaust, but the state would build new buildings for us. Think of that!
Then, too, there are a few of the women professors who don't smoke and are really averse to it. They really should be used to it by this time but they don't seem to be, so that is their own hard luck.
It seems, then, that we, as students, should either educate the faculty and administrators to the fact that we must smoke the minute we get outside the classroom door, or perhaps we should conform to rules. Which shall it be?
"It looks like our team is getting not," said the Thoughtful Freshman at the Washington game. "Just look at them steam down the field."
My Contention Is, Women Are Absolutely Useless on This Campus-Joe McDowell
Editor's Note. The following is the citation by Joe McDowell, author of *The Concert* and *Cap awarded for first place in the annual animal speaking conference*.
**Women**
Ladies and Gentlemen, use
for a few minutes on CO-EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, dealing
specifically with the female element
The Uselessness of Women
It is my belief that one of the most perplexing problems on the campus today is the Women, Now I don't profess to know what is the meaning of "do with them; if I might borrow one Doctor Hurdick's favorite stories, I would suggest that my case is like that of a young doctor, who upon examination said he had a child that was crying its eyes out, turned to its mother and said, "I don't know what is the matter with it but I am going to give it enamel, and that will give it" fit, and that will give it them. So all I can do is to give them fits.
My contention is, that Women are absolutely unless at a school to. Children must consider several things, first, is their presence necessary to the University and second, allowing that children to be called authorities to the University ? In my meager effort to exhort the authorities on campus to regard themselves as called authorities and authors have either purposely avoided or negligently omitted what I consider the most important.
Let me stop a minute and correct any erroneous impression that I might have conveyed to you. It is important to mention, inferior on the contrary, I am going to assume that she is man's intellectual superior. As one authority on this subject said, Mr. Menken would write the book "Women secretly an authority because he wrote a book once, the title of which was 'In Defense of Women,' and in the writing paraphrases it." Menken would not authorize the "Women secretly, regardless of what her outward actions are, every woman secretly regards every man as an ans." Now assertions about women are tough to avoid any arguments, let us place women on the same strata as Shaunebauh, Shakespeare, Donte Menken, and Althei. I might also say that Menken in the preface to the second edition of this same book says that the reason he wrote it in dill period, during the war. But his works are no different from those of his other works and start a literary discussion in what he termed it
very loftens her to the same strata with the majority, which is of course the men. And at the outset we can enter by entering the University.
now let us turn and see if the University is not harmed also. Where does the woman fit into the classroom? We know she helps its work by her presence" In the first place, she is distracting, disregarding her physical qualities, her mental qualities are distracting, and it makes her less likely to listen a recitation. She is unknown to the engineering school, and rare in the business school. What woman can carry on a legal discussion on a computer, which is relatively small schools, the fine arts, perhaps the speech department and the English department the women in it will have all. Let us recall for a minute what the nim and ideal of this university it. I suppose we can any briefly mention the foster specialization, and in general better prepare the student for his life's work after he leaves it. Now you see if the woman retains the old work room, works take time off the majority, the men of course, she is not helping in attaining the real ideal of the University. So we see that the University by coming here.
Now let us turn to the forbidden topic, the social life of the school. It has often been said that the University is divided into two great sections—the public side, and it has been said that we get as much good out of the one as we do out of the other. I don't think the situation or the men who fought for it ever conceived that some day on this Hill there would be institution divided such as that. I am sure old teachers of the university never had any plans such as that. Likewise, I am sure our legislature never had that in mind because we have this state, because they established this University for the men, to come to and be trained in business and professions, they built a normal school, so women go to and be trained women to go to and be trained as teachers if they cared to, and in those days even as in our day there could go to training schools, so you could go to be trained in social etiquette, finishing schools, and specialized schools where training was given in music; so women could go to be trained women is necessary, of course without the women we could not have the social life. So when the women are unable to work for women is necessary, of course without the women we could not have the social life. So when the women are unable to work for women is necessary, of course without the women we could not have the social life. But the humorous thing about it is that this very machine which she created is the only machine that can harm him it is doing her good.
Let us consider the average woman who comes to this school. Of course she is an average woman. The average woman. We must disregard that rare genius who wears a Hat Bet Karpa key, a hat that can carry on a sensible discussion of overlying problems, and perhaps that can carry on a sensible discussion of overlying problems, and perhaps that can be judging this content this evening.

Plain Tales From the Hill
So you see, if in eight minutes,
we can find all these reasons why a
person should be alone or not safe,
and that she also harms herself
by being here. I hesitate to think
about the fact that if we were
would question this question for a
hour or two hours longer.
But take the average girl who comes to this school. She is at once thrown into this social stream that empolishes her good qualities and her goodness of course the purpose of the average woman in life should be to it herself for her life work, not to her family or to her a wife. Does this social machine train the girl to be better fitted for it, she does not. In reality, the women who do it with a pretended idea of the opposite sex, she gets a bit of foolish motive, and has his way with the widowed one. She is the most impractical want, she seeks things she can never have after all, if she gives this social whirl all the time it demands, and most of them do, she takes away time from her books, and is harmed by the conscience.

"Naw, too many cats in the neighborhood," said the other. And he ordered pork and ate with relish.

"Give her the works," said Hargers. "He didn't look at the attendant. He was smiling, and oiled, and wubbed, and Harges drew away. He never knew that his mechanic was Dean George C. Shandt of Engineering and Architecture.

Three new G-E contributions to the conquest of the air
LINDBERGH, flying blind much of the way,
Hit Ireland "on the nose" as he winged toward Paris Now, as an aid to air navigation comes the magneto compass, a product of General Electric research, which gives pilots a navigating instrument of extraordinary accuracy.
Meanwhile, two other General Electric contributions to aviation have been developed—the electric gasoline gauge and the radio echo altimeter. The ordinary altimeter shows only height above sea level. The radio echo altimeter warns the pilot of his actual distance above ground or water by flashing green, yellow, and red lights on the instrument board.
Every year hundreds of college-trained men and women enter the employment of General Electric. Research, similar to that which developed "eyes" for blind flying, is one of the many fields of endeavor in which they play an important part.
