WE SALUTE YOU
Armistice Day—what does it mean to us? Do any of us have a clear idea of the thing it stands for? It marks the cessation of four years of the worst bloodshed the world has known. Upon this day eleven years ago, "The Four Horsesmen" who had ruled the world for so long were hurled from their thrones. From that time on the nations that had fought so desperately on either side have attempted to reach an understanding and friendship that cannot be shaken by greed and distrust.
This is the day on which the whole world gives thanks that the world's greatest conflict came to an end, a conflict whose accomplishments are still doubtful. This is the day on which we offer prayers to those who took the long, long trail that knows no end. We must thank God that our friends and relatives who served their country and returned to us can still be here. We must remember the pain and suffering caused by this conflict between nations with adverse beliefs. Yes, all this we must remember, for through this alone shall we be able to avoid future conflict. And only by avoiding future conflict can we assure those who have died that they have not died in vain.
Our sympathy goes out to Paul Capron who violated the West Point regulation that "no cedent may have a dog, a horse, a wife or a mustache." Capron sneaked away during the Yale-A军人 football game and "took unto himself a wife," and is now looking for a job.
THE SMALL BOYS IN CONGRESS
The speech of Senator George H. Moses referring to certain senators as "sons of wild jackasses," Senator David A. Reed's statement that certain senators were worse than "communists," and the statement of Mr. Grudy before the senate lobby committee calling the West and South "backward states" and expressing the opinion that they "ought to talk darn small" when legislative matters are under discussion is enough to sicken anyone with the present attitudes of congressmen. President Hoover is doing the best he can with the situation but there will be a break of tremendous importance in the future if some legislation of a constructive nature is not passed. The voters of the country elect men to congress to study questions of importance to the country and expect them to pass laws according to the public opinion and their better judgment. They do not send men to congress to discuss personalities and stir up personal animations.
"Hybrid Republican's," "coalition of nondescripts," "speeched Republican's," and other terms used in congressional speeches are nauseating. Senator Brookhart's speech telling of wild parties in Washington created quite a sensation in the capitol and over the country, but when he read a letter from a Boston citizen nominating him (brookhart) to the "great American polecat club" and referring to "the comical states of Kansas and Iowa"
he did a thing that is uncalled for and unnecessary.
On the other hand the actions of Speaker Longworth in trying to restore party harmony and get down to business are commendable. From the first it appeared that Hoover looked to the house rather than the Senate for support but even House members would rather play and fight than work and co-operate.
Social customs seem to be changing. Who ever heard of a bootlegger sitting in on a "little game" 20 year old?
THE NEWSPAPER DECISION
THE NEWSPAPER DECISION
Since the Durant-Russell verb bout was conducted in strict conformity with the rules laid down by the Kansas Boxing Commission, no official decision was rendered. It was a legal, non-decision bout, with no knock-outs or fouls, so it seems to rest with the newspapers to pick the winner.
Well, we should be willing to call it a draw, except for one thing. Mr. Russell's point on the self-reliance of students seemed pretty well taken. One does not need to spend very many months on a university campus to conclude that tolerance and intolerance, self-reliance and conformity, are governed there in about the same manner as in any other place. The group governs. Schools do not accomplish self-reliance and individual thought—not wholly, at least.
Doctor Durant's reply that no one is so self-sufficient, sophisticated, and well, he might as well have said it—irrregroup, as the young college graduate, was too superficial to do the brilliant speaker justice. When a young college graduate is overly cork-sure he usually is suffering from inferiority complex, the same as anyone else who is cork-sure. At any rate, his outward appearance are an unstable, and frequently paradoxical indication of his real attitude. No doubt, Doctor Durant realizes this fact well enough. But superficially fitted his wiser cracking type of debate.
And anhow, Doctor Durant probably meant to infer that no doubt the present day student is more self-reliant than the one of two generations ago. So perhaps the debate was a draw after all.
Thieves who stole young Bill White's car and incidentally several reels of motion picture films taken in Europe last summer probably didn't realize that their action was tending to disrupt the street cleaning business in France.
OUR OWN LECTURE COURSE
Just about the time your spirits begin to revive and you feel that at last you are coming out on top, some instructor is sure to send those spirits spinning back into the abyss by causally announcing that still another book must be purchased for his course. Perhaps it is only a two hour course and you already have bought couple of books for it.
But there are times when we feel that an instructor who orders a class to buy a book and then assigns only
It is possible that this new book is absolutely imperative to the proper understanding of the subject. Also it may be that there is no one book which combines all the elements necessary for a broad understanding of the study. Well then, that is all well and good. We want to obtain the very best material that there is in the field, and we are willing to pay for it.

K. U. BAND:
Such a campaign must soon be launched on the campus, not only against courtesy driving and the discourtesy extended by drivers to students, but against the speeding that has already resulted in some dangerously narrow escapes. A check on speeds during one class interval shows two very narrow escapes, one where the pedestrian was actually brushed by a speeding car. A check on faulty parking found three cars in one block, disbelieving a state as well as a Hill law by not having a state license where they could be seen.
All members of the Band are to meet at the Auditorium Monday morning to play for conventions at 10 o'clock. Come in uniform, no caps, and bring a guitar.
a half-dozen readings or so in that book before calling for the purchase of another is careless. It looks as if he either had not organized his course of study well or else merely called for the purchase of any book which happened to capture his fancy at the time.
In the past two weeks Kansas City has seen the launch of a campaign against speeding and carless driving which cannot be compared with anything in the history of the city. It comes as the result of several glacial accidents.
A Warsaw beggar recently incerted a huge fortune and had to e taken to an insane asylum. His is not unusual, except that most ewily-rich are left at large.

friends; it only endangers their lives and the lives of others. You get nowhere by a bullying attitude toward the Hill police. The time that you gain by speeding would not help out if a life were to be the penalty extracted for those few extra minutes.

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansas:
The University of Kansas is the meanest school in the country.
meanest school in the country.
In our humor magazine, our yearbook,
our paper, even in our con-
tents, we use a soft-sided
selenon hearing. Only the crieps,
wounding sarcaum which is so typical
of this humour.
Would the editor of the Jayhawk dare to present the pictures of seven outstanding seniors with a separate parchment of appreciation for each? Of course he would not. Why? Because he would be afraid of the criticism which would result from his choice.
But every year we have a King of Assen, Regardless of how well a man may fulfill the requirements of this office, why make the rest of his school life clouded? Why push a poor man down by ridicule, when you have the power to raise a good man by praise?
Perfectly good-hearted boys winn little yell-leading ability are put in front of the student body by a political party, and are forced to put up with the jibes of their fellows for the whole school year. We want routers, not booters.
Jokes are included in the POP-
GUN of the Sour Owl that have no
truth and very little humor.
The solution of the problem lies in the ability of those in high-up positions to choose leaders in con-
storization of their merit, regardless of fraternity or political affiliation Only in that way can this school secure the unity of feeling which it so radly lacks.

Not Asking Too Much
That father walked two or three miles through snowdrops and wintry gales to a drafty country schoolhouse seems to have discouraged the student. On the walking problem, if he be forced to walk five blocks to school he suffer nangs of self-pity.
University men and women living two or three blocks from the campus climb in their care on winter months. You don't have to choose for several minutes the car sputterer down the street and is still ample opportunity for its warming

Each morning the streets near university buildings are lined on either side of campus where who live near the campus arrive first, taking the choice spaces and giving those who actually require admission to the campus an opportunity to sealt.
The Daily Nebraskan
The Daily Nebraska is not undertaking a promotion campaign for the ancient practice of walking. That legs, from disuse, will eventually dwinkle into skinny spindle does not concern us at present. The over-coming cuts, however, brings up a problem we become more serious each week.
Swimming is the most popular sport among women. Hockey ranks next in popularity, then bowling and horse riding. Other are taking classes at colleges and various games. Only 223 women out of 1655 are taking corrective
