THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1920 DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS In the past two weeks traffic dif ficulties on the Hill have become a major problem. Many narrow oes葵 have been witnessed by those investigating such difficulties. The problem was brought before the Student Council and assurance was received that it had been under advicement since the first of the year. The only traffic law now existing was passed in 1927 and provided that those driving cars more than 12 miles an hour across the campus were to be punished the first time by loss of social privileges, the second offense would incur a penalty of dismissal from the University. The difficulty with this law was that it has no successful means of enforcement. The council now is working on a tangible plan by which the law may be enforced. The Kuanan last week suggested a plan of student deputies which may be accepted; if not that some similar system will be adopted. The one thing, however, that must be kept in mind is that it is a Hill problem to be settled by the student body or those appointed by them to care for such exigencies. The student body must not blame the drivers for all their narrow escapes because it is an often the fault of the pedestrian as much as it is of the driver, Jay walking on the campus is as dangerous as it is down town. This is one great fault prevalent in our whole body. If students rather than needlessly cross in the middle of the block, would stay on the walks which were constructed for their use, it would do away with a great deal of the congestion that is present. With Mayor Beach, a graduate of both Washington University and Kansas, a guest at the game Saturday, and a former Kansas track mentor bring Missouri harriers to compete with a Kansas team coached by a former Tiger track star the Thoughtful Freshman is wondering just where the loyalty of the Kansas City mayor will be placed. ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY Little was said on Armistice day, which also should be recognized as the eleventh anniversary of the Republic of Germany. Eleven years ago saw an overthrow of the monarchy and militaristic imperialism. The German people were preoccupied with questions of foreign affairs and internal crises. The socialists had the only party organizations, and they were not united. Today the Social Democrats and the Independent Socialists do not divide all the seats between them; there is a Communist party. Broad perspectives and vast schemes characteristic of revolutionary politics have vanished and Germany has settled down to the political game of petty compromises and intrigues. The peculiarly hectic days of the revolution are but memories; and today the Social Democrats who are used to hunting for force terms to denounce the "State" now proudly call themselves a state-supporting party. The new social and economic order seems established, German inventors are at work, the Graf Zeppelin has completed a trip around the world, a German novelist has won the Nobel prize in Literature, German artists and educators are quickly regaining places for themselves in the scheme of world affairs. Socially a sound basis has been formed. Politically there still is turmoil, and economically Germany must work out her own salvation. It may be "in the spring" but a certain Hill professor is wondering why a feminine voice recently requested to speak to the minister when he answered his phone. TIMES CHANGE Not no long ago newspaper men looked upon those who had studied journalism in high school as "no good no how for nothin". The college trained journalist was worse. He had done the unpardonable thing, "Mixed learnin' with work and hitched up to high fangled, high-falutin' ideas." Today, things are different. The high school editors' conference is an attempt to bring all students of journalism together so that mutual problems may be discussed, acquaintances formed, and in the end a better class of workers ready for the newspapers. Editors sponsor the move. Even the editors themselves hold meetings, and once a year they hold a meeting at the University of Kansas! Could such a thing have been thought of a generation age? When Mark "Tain" wrote "Journalism in Tennessee," he had in mind he hard boiled, uncrempsu, swearing, tobacco "chawin'" editor who name to his desk, asked "What's the rust?" and proceeded to call the opposition editor all the names he could write on paper. The generation that has followed his old pioneer school of American journalists has tried to study problems, see things in their true light, and oppose or boost measures according to their worth. The future generation of journalists will be stern, ut mild, cautions but bold, hard thinking but quick action. They are the people on the campus this week-end. Students of the University, lets turn out and make their itt enjoyable and profitable. Chelse Shire might have been more original and organized a "Prince of Nails" club and asked his neighbors during the sojourn of Salome on the campus to be charter members. Campus problems, the majority of them, including class attendance, The Kansan, and women, are to be discussed tonight in the annual speaking contest. As outlined, the purpose of the content is to train speakers to think when on the platform, and to reveal problems of the University with suggested solutions. Granted that the enterprise is worthy, and that it does all it intends to do, there still is something lacking in the response which it receives. The judges award a loving cup to the person whom they consider meriting the prize and are accused of being prejudiced, that it was a cleverer award, a cleverer choice, or the choice of a subject which actually determined the winning person. A few members of the small audience may argue heatedly on the way home on the methods of presentation, and disagree with the points brought out by the speakers. But the contest is over and outside of notice in the paper the next night and an announcement by the speed department as to the fine response given by the student body, it is for gotten until next year. Such has been the reception tendered to it in the past of which brings to light an problem, whether or not it is worth while to spend time in any activity only to have the value of it host only to the maze of the problem areas degenerate into nothingness. Some potent problems will be discussed night by students. The speakers do serve greater reward than they probably will get. The problems deserve worthy consideration by the student body or the Campus Problems Speak WASTED WORDS?

AND THERE IS LIGHT The Thoughtful Freshman noticed the other day that the dignified senior used a match when he really wanted to light a cigar. The Great White Way! New York, Chicago, Kansas City, and Lawrence have pointed with pride to their well lighted avenues. Soon the University also may well be proud. Along campus avenues gobble, spooks, and shadow fairies long have played in safety all night, with no light to cause them fear. Students going home from the library or strolling two by two down Oread Avenue have often been accompanied by eerie chaperones. Shadows often take a few steps with them, and then disappear behind a tree only to appear again at another tree. Starting in and out among the shrubbery, stamps, and buildings these visitors have rightly escorted the imaginative home. But the cable is nearly all laid for new lights on the campus, lights to bring safety to drivers, and pedestrians, and lights which will scar away the shadowy visitors who so long have inhabited Mt. Oread. Down in Marvin Grove the shadows are ind, for no longer can they freely race up and down campus drives; on up the Hill there is rejoicing for Oread Avenue is to become a Great White Way. CAN EDUCATION EVER CATCH UP? When Will Durant suggested last week that the present large size of families of the poor made it almost impossible for education to catch up with population, a brisk ripple of applause went around the auditorium. In that one sentence Doctor Durant stated one of the most important phases of the problem of modern education. Only a small family can afford the educational adventures of a university. A family in moderate circumstances can send one or two children through school without any great strain on the family packbook. But a large family in moderate circumstances cannot send half a dozen children through even an inexpensive college without sacrifice, or borrowing money on the part of the parents, and part-time working on the part of the children. As a result large families are more indifferently educated than are small families. If you will grant that this is true, that small families are better educated than large, then you will agree with Doctor Durant that teaching birth control to the poor is the only means by which education can ever catch up with population.

His low tones were voluminous and his higher tones were equally as bold, their nuance most impressive. He was K. Dumbison, the first tenor. His range and tone quality were also excellent. N. N. Kedroff did some splendid solo as bentonite promises and second tenor. $15 - $18 - $25 The Russians presented a varied and interactingly contracted program ranging from light, size, and joyful expressions, dignified, dignified, and lenate selections. "Exclusive but not Expensive" The last selection in this effective group was a dance song, which was light, ally, Evely, and artistically shaped. The program was divided into four sections, the first group of which were for rhythm songs. These were for the most part, light rhythms and revealed very effective rhythms. The next group was composed entirely of works of Russian composer Ivan Nijinsky. As a religious nature, wore dignified impressive and lyrical. The last num- "The Song of India" offered as an encore following this group, was perhaps the most popular and most appreciated presentation of the event. The third group was again de- voted to Russian Poha songs, but the first group was composed of songs of the Nationality.

In this number the four singers cleverly handled the sound of four bells. It is a much richest in the lowest bassel bell. The concluciling section was de- voted to non-Russian composers. These numbers were characterize- by their lovely melody and rhythm.
