WIDE WALKS AND SIDE- WALKERS
"And there was a space well enough to drive a wagon through." No, Oswald, the person who said that was not referring to the campus walks as they are used at certain times of the day.
MONDAY, MAY 21, 1928
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Legion after legion of arm-interlocked collegiate march along in complete possession of the walls—possession which it seems they intend not to relinquish.
No, there is hardly room for a wagon to pass. In fact, there is reilkm room for an individual to pass. The individual walk along without a partner is brought to a forceful realization of the strength in numbers when he meets these ranks of interlockers and is forced to sten aside.
And at other times, when Mr. More Individual, who may be quite busy and hence in a hurry, comes up behind some of the strollers who apparently own the sidewalks, he is recorded the pleasure of walking around them on the grass—no, not the grass that the grass has all been worn away,
Maybe, the walks are not wide enough. Maybe the more individual is in too much of a injury and is too easily perped. Maybe pedestrians should have traffic regulations and stringent enforcement of them. Or perhaps these communities of slow walkers are too assuming—maybe there is just a lack of common courtesy.
The president of the Pediatrics Research Association, commenting on the relationship of bow-legs to famous people, included such celebrities as Muscolino, Charlie Chaplin, Rale Roth and Will Rogers in his bow-legged Eist. It is evident that the observing president did not make these remarks in Italy.
A year or so ago when the city of Lawrence installed rubber traffic copes at crossings along Tennessee street, it did so with a view of curbing the moronic driver who was in the habit of coming off the Hill at a reckless face unmindful of the danger to which he was subjecting others.
STOP AT TENNESSEE They're at it again!
The "stop" sign were effective for a time—very much more so when their authority was supplemented by a motorcycle officer. In most cases fines were nominal. It was the embarrassment of being caught with the kindly advice of the police judge that served for a time to relieve the worry of driving on Tennessee.
In recent weeks there has been a return of recklessness. Both city drivers and Hill students are guilty of violation of a protective ordinance.
In the majority of cases cars coming off the Hill are driven through the intersection of Tennessee without so much as a squeak of the brakes. Perhaps a part of the student-owned cars are not fortunate enough to possess mechanical brakes. In such cases, nothing short of collision will in time result.
Drivers must be aware of the danger of crossing congested trafficways at excessive speed. Especially is there grave danger when that crossing has heretofore been guarded by a "stop"
sign. The driver on the unrestrained street depends on the authority of such a warning; he expects every action to give him the right way.
A close check on the actual time saved by observing every traffic regulation in large cities has revealed the fact that only a few seconds more are required than where the driver has failed to beed any of them. All that is necessary is a complete stop.

name.
In the German elections the Socialist party has recorded a decided advantage, showing a probable gain of 29 seats in the Reichstag. On the other hand the Nationalists lost 41 seats.
In Germany the nationalistic party has been the one which has been most feared by those who desire to see a tranquil Germany. The Socialists have been a party of moderation, one in which trust could be given for intelligent leadership.
In China, however, the National party is the one to whom the intelligent persons usually intrusts his faith for better government, since in China, unlike Germany, the trouble has been too little national and too much fancial sentiment. And, strange to say, the nationalists in China have many socialistic policies.
Germany was once faced with the situation, but the Nationalists, who were then the imperialists, went to the other extreme, the exploitation of nationalism to the submersion of consideration for others.
Just now China is greatly in need of a nationalistic regime, it needs a chance to integrate itself into a nation, rather than a people. Having achieved this it is to be hoped that the Chinese people will not become too egotistic. Once consolidated into a nation, they will be the most terrific force this world has seen for some time.
Orient Row to Condidge—Hendine.
Since things are already going along so peacefully for Mr. Coulding, he will have plenty of leisure in which to settle this trouble.
WHOSE FAULT?
This is the time that tries men's souls and women's too for that matter.
Of course no one save the students have to work during this period of the school semester. The instructors' trials and tribulations will come just after the term papers have been turned in, or just after finals have been written. But then why shouldn't they have to work then? It's their own fault—they bring it on themselves.
No class of students has yet been known to ask for a subject upon which to prepare a term paper. Likeweise no class wants to write a three, two or one hour final. That too is the fault of the instructor.
And another thing. There's no need to feel sorry for the instructors at this institution. They knew what they prepared themselves for when they chose this vocation. That too is their fault.
But after it's all over, after the term papers have been read, after the finals have been graded and after the grade is turned in to the dean's office—the grade that stands beside your name, regardless of whether it be an A or an F—that is your fault.
DISREGARDING THE WORLD
Perhaps the University of Kansas is no more unfortunate than other incertifications of its kind, but altogether too many of the members who make up the faculty of this great educational center think only in terms of their special line of work.
A deep and profound interest must of course be evidenced by the various instructors in the many departments. Our objection lies in the fact that too often the entire vein of thought is in terms of their personal interest only. An education"has been called a period of fitting for life. There is enough truth in the definition to merit dwelling upon its merits for a short time And fitting a student for the life of

Investigation by the Federal Trade Commission shows that five pamplets prepared by the publicity representative of the public utility interests have been introduced in the Missouri public schools. Charges are made that these interests are introducing prepaganda into the public school curriculum. The testimony also shows that the expenses of college professors were paid to a conference in Kansas City regarding the advisability of introducing courses in public utility administration into the colleges.
Whatever the content of the booklets, suspicion that their attitude toward the public utilities cannot help but be biased is logical. There is no real reason why courses in the function of public utilities should not be offered in the schools, but it is neither desirable nor wise that they be given from books prepared by the interests so vitally effected by them. Such procedure is against all precedent and all wisdom.
On the face of the matter the conference of professors seems to be perfectly ethical but the warding of the communications regarding the organization of the meeting, which refers to "strategy" in avoiding "loading

What Is A Station-to-Station Call?
IN telephone parlance, a station is a telephone. A station-to-station long distance call is one where a connection is established between your telephone and a desired telephone in a distant town, and not between you and some particular person in the distant town. Every local call you place is really a station-to-station call — you talk to whoever answers the called telephone.
To use this service, if you know the distant telephone number, give it to the long distance operator; if you do not know the number, give the operator the name and address of the party whose telephone you wish to reach, and let her know that you are willing to talk to anyone who answers at the called telephone.
Station-to-station calls cost about 20 per cent. less than those where you ask to talk to a particular person.
