TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1928 MANIFESTO "Come—Fill the cup, and in the fires of Spring." fire of Spring Your winter garment of repentance fling!" Omar Khayyam Spring is here. Winter has passed and the vernal sensor is once again upon us. It is a curious thing, this matter of seasons. When we arise from our beds this morning there still lingered the shadows of that period of the year which is symbolic of the senile in nature. As we retire tonight we shall have breathed the first air of the vigin hours of annual youth. The change came at 2:45 this afternoon. It was then that the gun crossed the equator on its northward journey to enter sign of the Arles in the constellation of Pisces, the conventional beginning chosen by astronomers. At least the observers of the nautical altimeter of the U. S. naval observatory at Washington, D. C., (ellus To "spring" is to begin to appear, to issue into sight or knowledge, to start or rouse as from a covert. Spring is that season of the year when plants begin to grow and when Flom, goddess of flowers and gardens, once again comes into her own. But not forever. Summer, fall and winter, and over a year there will come another spring, more inviting, more invigorating than ever before. AUDITORIUM AISLES Then there is the spring of life with its charm and fascination. Things have been done and the future seductively beckons. Spiritual and intellectual awakenings are forsaken. Visions come and go, fade away and are realized, until the summer solitude makes an end of it all. The manifesto of eternal youth is with us. Spring is here. Because of the extra smooth surface of the cement on the sloping floor of the new Auditorium, the nails are exceedingly dangerous to traverse. This condition was quite apparent when the Auditorium was first put into use, and the numberless hundreds of feet that have since walked up and down them have brought the finished cement to a surprising degree of silkiness. Both at the basketball games and the concert numbers, many of the older people of the University and of Lawrence have had to be helped to their seats and away from them. The students even with their agility have many times had difficulty in maintaining an upright position while walking down the slope. Furthermore, people have actually fallen while walking down this slick cement. A lady was badly shaken from a fall just recently. If the slope from the back of the Auditorium ran the entire width of the floor the incline would have been so gradual this condition would not have developed. But these nails should be remedial. Either a corrugated strip of rubber or some composition material should be laid down them, or they should be roughly finished in cement, thus furnishing a foot mold. The manner of remedy is incidental to the fact that in their present condition, they are dangerous; and if not fixed will result in a serious accident. MUSSOLINIAN DEMOCRACY Wanted! Another Garibaldi come to Italy's rescue. The suppression of democracy is daily by Benito Mussolini, dictator, is a challenge to the entire structure of democracy. The world has heard much from Sigurant Massonelli. He would build a new Italy. He would take his people and his country to heights unknown in Italian history. A courageous and idealistic picture, indeed, and one that came not from realities so much as from the overwhelmed one of individual But Sigurant Mussolini built upon this success in a way that demanded much of imagination, his own mind, likewise, that of the world that was wating. In attempting to pyramid national success he made claim to virtues in behalf of the people which now he does not permit to stand trial. Now the Duce tells the world and himself that he cured in his judgment of the Italian people. The new Italian parliamentary chamber is to be appointed by Sigurant Mussolini, not elected by the votes of the people as in the past. All opposition in Italy has been swept away by dictatorial order. Not a vantage of democracy remains. Faction is dictator in Italy and Benito Mussolini is fascism. --twice will be a meeting of Kappa Beta Thursday, March 22, to meet mail at 7:30 p.m. Election of officers and plumbing services will be held. P. Conner was quoted recently by a reporter for the Star as having explained that a smoke pall hang over Kansas City one morning because "there was screeled no wind and a heavy frost." "Screeled no wind," he takes it, means "barely a lot of wind" or, in the arrest of the sea, "a hateful of torment." COMING TO K. U.2 "Are you coming to the Universal next year?" "I don't think so. A poor country boy like me couldn't keep up with social life and spending that goes on." Conversations of this type have been heard by, or have been taken part in by almost every student on the Dll at any time or another. Why is it that the University seems to be the focus for publicity which, unless times out of ten, is not beneficial and is often unfair? Our morals and likewise our social and financial living conditions at K. U. have received more than their share of distorted citrication and scourred attention. The University, because it is a university, and the center of the state's eye, educationally, must stand, perforce, a close scrutiny. We do not object to imprisonment as long as it is just, and even publicity as long as it is fair. But to have our pearl countries, which are neither less nor more than those of any school its size, aided over the state for citizens of great powers of susceptibility, but little of discrimination, to point at and say: "I tell you so! Mary will go to Jiang, or Emperor or K. S. A. C. next year," is not to our taste or狸. Not that we care where Mary goes to school, but we do object to the strict reasons for her going to another school other than K. U. How singularly unjust it is to judge an entire student by the follies of a few carcasses ones among them. WOMEN IN POLITICS A Seattle dispatche tells of the defeat of a woman by a male opponent in a race for re-election to the mayoral. The woman politician is Mrs. Bertha K. Landes, mayor of Seattle for two years. She was led in the voting in the recent election by Frank Edwards, a theater owner, who polled a substantial majority. To some, perhaps such a story would mean the revival of the question: are women a failure in politics? Perhaps the man who does not believe Is your watch "all run down?" Let our expert repairman examine it.

Women have entered business and made contributions in their manner. But they have made no radical revolutions in business methods. They have carried on much the same as men. In a similar way, women may be expected to show an interest in politics and participate on a par with men. When the facts are reviewed, it is noted that women have not influenced party platforms or altered party processes. Women political workers and voters have not purified politics. There seems to be no outstanding woman today who has particular political power or who can command the woman vote. In fact, no politician wants to be afraid of the woman vote. However, this does not mean that women in politics are a failure. It clearly means that there is no "woman less." Nor is there any need for a lineup of women against men. Women are the daughters of men as well as of women, and they will be likely to think much as men do on any question. Woman suffrage put on women in a political equality with men. Hence, there is reason to expect women to enjoy victories and accept defeats in elections the same as all immigrants. hawker" on a non-partisan basis is, in outwardly at least, a sincerely effort to meet a crying need. But the question of whether the desired results is debatable. We wonder how the appointment committee, which is to be composed of both students and faculty members will be selected. Probably the students on the committee would be selected by the student council or at a meeting with other faculty members. The two offices would be filled from the party having the majority in the student council, since the council would quite naturally select the committee members from its own party. In the latter case, it would be a partisan affair similar to the election of a senator for the members of the committee, the student invariably consider his political preference. On the other hand we must deal with the influence of the faculty members of the committee in the selection of the professors, and know in what proportion the faculty will be represented, but it is probable that there will be no opportunity to welcome any effort towards political COSTUME JEWELRY Necklaces Necklaces Earrings Rings Bracelets Pins Inexpensive $2.00 to $15.00 You're Welcome Enlargements from Kodak Negatives x The College Jeweler Many users of Kodak have some negatives with greater possibilities than they realize.

O, W. Edito: Daily Kansan; anonym the immensely question put forth by the writer of the above mentioned article there is one which needs to be answered. In the question "Mr. Rahib," Mr. Broussard, presumably—but which ought to have been asked of the student themselves, had a fine campus interview at K. U. "Have you helped or do hurt us?" Indeed, he has helped. Why? What we undoubtedly ask. That is precisely what I want to make clear if I can. I am not an "orthodox" Christian; I am not an orthodox Christian and not judged by the standards of Mr. Brevence's critics, but my mind is open, and welcomes all of a world of disbelief and doubt. I have heard Mr. Reinhold Neibluer, I have heard Miss Maude Royden. They both had valuable contributions to make to the students, and they only reach those who were already convinced, and needed no further convincing of the value of religion in general, and Christian religion in particular. I heard them, went away, my soul humming for Truth as heaven not ever aimed at those who had not learned enough courage, or not enough synergy, to claim for themselves the names of Christians. But Mr. Browne's message could equally well reach an erring seeker of truth. Mr. Browne only gave an historical point of view on religion, and as such, it was more convincing to those who are inclined to be, what one usually terms irreligious. He pointed out, and earnestly enough, that religion—some religion, was indispensable to mankind. Was that destructive? Is it not also true that his biography of a man might religion might arouse curiosity in the minds of some people which will inspire them to study religions, and finally lead them to seek out the eter Fillet Haddock Baked Beans And Fresh Spring Vegetables. Wednesday Is Fish Day "Nothing is good enough but the Post." nal truths for themselves? And in the light of Christian religion will not Mr. Browne's address be justified if even one person, though I personally think many more tigh儿 will be moved to open his heart to religion. For him not Christ, one of the greatest patriarchs of the Church, that are whole have no need of physi- clines, but they that are sick.
