THE CAMPUS SPEECH CONTEST
Campus problems have been discarded both constructively and destructively at the Campus Problem speaking contests in the past. Those taking part have felt free to encourage campus practices with and without giving possible solutions. For a time, those who have listened to either the elimination or the final contests have been struck with the force of the arguments and real need for more than passing thought.
Like many other activities, this campus speaking contest has been revived yearly with renewed vigor, only to wane ingloriously into that category of just another activity. Hours of preparation and research have been wasted in the past. The eight minute speeches have been rewarded by a prize, or the laudatory comments of friends, and the actual constructiveness of the thought has died an inglorious death. With the date set for the content this year, it is to be hoped that a greater number of students will enter, for their individual experience and training, but it is also to be hoped that the thoughts which they express will be pertinent enough to take root in campus opinion, and not merely so many "pears cast before swim".
Denmark has changed the title "Minister of War" to "Minister of Protection". The Christian Science Monitor wonders if the next step will be "Minister of Arbitration."
DOWN TO FINE POINTS
On the face of the evidence as presented by newspaper accounts in the Alexander Pantages trial, which resulted in the theatrical magnate's conviction for assault upon Eunice Pringle, 17-year-old dancer, it is difficult to see how the jury ever reached a verdict, even after 58 hours. Throughout the entire proceedings, rumors of hired witnesses, perjury, and other obstructions to justice, were circulated. Testimony of the defense and state were in direct conflict on most points.
No doubt the members of the jury decided the case as impartially and as wisely as they knew how, but they had to exercise a fine point of justice to weigh the weight of each sida's testimony and to determine who is guilty by the word of another.
What quirk of fate provides that the feminine of the species always portrays the role of Peter Pan? Anyway she seems to have been satisfactory to the males at the Halloween party.
BIGGER CARS AND BETTER DRIVERS
A coupe is a party car—for a party of two, and its size is not too large or not too small, but for a town car, Oread students find that its capacity is inadequate. For when one able bodied Jayhawker who drives a car announces a projected townward journey, passengers raid the doors as if they were taking a Saturday afternoon run for Coney Island—and the result is that the auto disappears into a conglomeration of legs, arms and faces.
Somewhere beneath the mass o
human features is a driver peering out of a loophole beneath someone's knee and around another's neck. To control the destiny of the exuberant mob aboard, and probably also the destinies of the pedestrian and vehicular traffic through which the journey takes them, is his job. It is jolly, boy-scout like, to take the gang wherever one goes. Often it saves a shine, a tardy mark or a wary ankle—but it is not an effective way in which to preserve the race.
As Orena'd winding trails acquire the ice gloss of damp and cold weather, the steering wheel requires a gliding movement to hold the car in the road. The driver must be all eyes and his elbows must have a sweeping freedom of movement. So if the coupe will not hold the crowd, get out the town car. If the town car is too small, pack the tenuious tighter, but for the sake of humanity let the driver be master at the wheel.
You never know what you can do until you try said the thoughtful Freshman. I managed to pass a quiz without ever studying the material and was just planning to cut it.
THE FALL CASE
Six years ago this month the senatorial investigating committee, headed by Senator Walch of Montana, started to look into the oil scandal. Many acts of both Secretary of the Navy Deby and Secretary Fall were questioned. Startling disclosures were made. Fall refused to testify before the committee. Deby admitted loaning $100,000 to Fall.
Now Fall, an old man broken in health and spirit, has been found guilty of betraying the American people of one of the highest trusts in the country. Doheny may be brought to trial the first of next year.
The conviction has been remarkable in the face of what has gone before. The jury was composed of eight men and four women. Two of the jurors were but 23 years old, their average age was 34. The verdict, "Guilty, with mercy of the court," shows that in the face of strong arguments of the defense, and the play to emotions made by the presence of a sick man on trial, the cold bare facts of the case were given due consideration. Even Senator Watch and Owen J. Young, special government prosecutor, while pushing the prosecution to the limit, were moved to sympathy for Fall because of his sickness and weakened physical condition.

TO NEBRASKA WITH THE BAND
In the midst of our purchases of popcorn, hot dogs, and eskimo pies this afternoon, let us not forget that they are passed around to contribute to the fund which will send the band to Lincoln . . . This year they will be sent on a trip, and that trip is dependent upon the generosity of Iowa State men and women . . . Old men and women. We bring new ones into that smart red and gold line that brings listeners to cheering . . . It will take two weeks to arrive at Lincoln, but Iowa State men and women back their workers, and the sum should not be difficult to meet." — Iowa State Student
The announcement that the athletic corporation would not have funds to finance the band on the Lincoln trip does not necessarily mean that the Band will not go to Lincoln. Like other schools, Kansas shall seek another source of revenue, a student subscription if necessary. Last year when the necessary funds were not available, the student councils came to the rescue and financed the Missouri trip. The fact that this year both Nebraska and Oklahoma homecoming colleges scheduled to see Kansas take the field against their "Alma Mater", impels us to say, not only that the band should go, that it must go, but also that it shall go.
We submit the following as our contribution for the worlds shortest short story, "Flunked."
Anti-Foreignism in China Responsible for Decline in Scientific Research
Washington.—The anti-foreignism characteristic of much of the new nationalism in China has caused the suppression of promising scientific activities, and its heavy burden has been carried on for five years under joint Chinese and foreign auspices. Information regarding the repressive activities of Manchurian officials has been published by Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn, president of the American Museum of Natural History, who obtained the detainment non-Chinese scientists caribou.

While the events that led to the present qual-war in the Far East were shaping themselves, the local communities that supported their society and seized its establishments. Chang Kuoheng, chief of the department of public education, entered the gritsmen not the society, soiled by its history and complicated all of its property. In the place of the old society he founded a new one of his own and declared himself to be its president. The organization is limited to Chinese citizens.

Doctor Oschern states that this mitter of science work in China is heathered with the most international interest in Washington, Dr. Chao Chu Wu, a man of great intelligence, a graduate of the University of London, and an expert in storing the friendly relations which have previously existed between American and Chinese cultural society.
The result has been, observers declare, that scientific work in Manchester is at a standoff. The old ones are nothing, the museum is deserted, and its collections are gathering dust. It all fits in, in Doctor Osborn notes, "the vast array of antiquarian anti-foreign spirit that has compelled the suspension of the activities of the museum in Mongolia, which during the past decade have been among the most productive paleobiological and archaeological institutions that have moved to the field."

One active college man or woman with ambition, courage and convictions cannot hope to have the leadership of everyone in the university.
Popularity plays an important part in all campus activities. It is the job of the student to become outstanding on the numerous organizations which tend to control college affairs, and to think about the personality plus man who thinks nothing, says anything and tries to succeed.

Many students are afraid to state their beliefs for fear they will offend someone. If one has beliefs, the expression of which will cause him to lose his friends, it is a case of keeping one's own selfishness; the surface friendship of his fellows.
