“WHERE SHE ATTENDS K.U.”
Foolish newspapers and a foolish little girl make a combination for publicity that is difficult to equal. Yes, it is often true that the curiosity of a sensation seeking public will lead to the printing of articles that are little except manufactured news. This, we understand it, is perfectly permissable in polite journalistic circles.
Somehow, the public is prone to place responsibility directly upon an institution of learning for any foolish net of its students. Perhaps this is to justify its own assumption that a college or university teaches nothing practical and condones acts of foolishness.
Much unfavorable comment concerning the University of Kansas may well have resulted from the broadcasting of the nets of that companion pair Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Reynolds. Somehow there seems to be a connection between the public seeking of these youngsters and the ideas and ideals of a great institution of learning.
It is getting just a little bit tiresome. At first it was a pretty fair joke, but even the best of jokes grow stale. So here is a little information:
In the rotrotrage section of a metropolitan paper Mrs. Rosele is shown in a "daring contour" which "shocked the city of Lawrence, Kas." Oh yeah, "where she attends K. U." We can not speak with authority as to the reaction of the people of Lawrence to this performance but the students greeted her with little enthusiasm.
Aubrey Roselee was at one time and is now enrolled as a student in the University of Kaua'i. At the time of his marriage he was not.
Josephine Haideman-Julus Rosellas has never been a student at the University. She has attended Oread high school, the University's teacher-training school. She entered two weeks after the semester started, and today withdrew from school.
The University of Kansas is not responsible for the foolish actions of this young couple. It is getting tiresome for the newspapers to connect the University of Kansas to each and every foolish act of each individual person ever so remotely related to it.
Summer tourists may rejoice. The German Federation of Motor Industrialists has conceded that the new Fords have safe brakes. Pack your new car and be on your way!
SPRING TEA
Yesterday we knew that spring was on its way for sure. It was an indication that even the most Menckenized unbeliever would believe.
We were passing a home in the other side of the town and from that house came the odor of a great American institution that is slowly passing; it was saffron tea.
How we used to dread that evil brew. That we really disliked it, but we were always told that it was good for us—and consequently we did not like it.
But anyway, we now know that Spring is here.
NO FLAGWAVING
a Not so long ago a speaker such as Dr. John Nevin Sayre, who dared publicly to uphold the right of an American citizen to be a consecrated objector in time of war, as he did in a debate Tuesday night in Fraser chapel, would have been ridiculed, abused, and made the subject of criticism from the press, the rostrum, and even from the pulpit. The hate inspired in us during the war still demoralized in us after art armorice, and advocates of universal peace were denounced an enemies of the nation.
And now, a new sentiment seems to be gradually taking the place of the old feeling. Professor Alter, who unipled the negative in the debate, resorted to no flagging tactics, and turned a cold shoulder on the old idea that war exerted a positive influence for good. Both speakers stood on the common ground that war is a dirty business that will eventually be done away with. They differed only in the manner of achieving it. Professor Alter believing war inevitable until the masses are educated, and his opponent submitting that war might be immediately discarded if the handful of men who cause wars were given to understand by the people who always are called upon to do the fighting that they can no longer be counted upon to take up arms in these destructive campaigns.
Whatever one's conclusion may have been from this debate, one must admit that it is a healthy sign when questions of war and peace can be discussed simply and without the use of chodramaic gestures that have no basis in reason. We have seen such ridiculous discussions here on the campus and we have noticed happily the poor reception they get from the students. We are glad that colleges can be called largely responsible for this liberal attitude.
We want especially to command the two speakers, who, though holding different views, presented them in such a friendly manner that they retained both their respect for each other and the respect and admiration of the members of the audience for both of them. And they accomplished this without creating ill- humor or any ingrism and without attempting to refute argument through the use of verbal trickery.
We wonder which dress of the $3,000 wardrobe of Lorene Woodside was left lying on the floor while the mother used the hanger for the same purpose for which barrel staves are used at the fraternity houses?
MILITARISM VS. SOCILOGY
The other day a professor said, "Some of you young folks will live to see the time when the leading nations of the world will not be as they are now. I venture to predict that within the next fifty years the world's great powers will be the United States, Russia, and Japan."
In the evolution of the nations of the world today there is an interesting array of seemingly opposed and antagonistic forces as represented by the nations of the world. In Italy; France, and Great Britain are seenations of military power and ideals. On the other side are the United States; Russia, and, although militaristic in some phases of its progress, Japan. All of these last named are primarily nations of potential sociological forces for development through action and interaction of keen, inquiring minds.
The power of the countries of militaristic ideals is active, while that o the non-military is potential. Soci

obly banks showily, while militaria is a destructive tearing down of social institutions. Militaria is temporal; sociology is of the Ages.
WHEN THE PATIENT SQUIRMS
Eventually one group will predominate. It is an interesting condition to observe. Are the forces of unyielding sociology to bow to the temporary changes of militarization of certain competing powers? Will the potential forces of social development conquer? It is worthy of consideration.
The man who paid $11,000 for a letter written by William Penn must have been read "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and thought nothing of such a trivial sum for a single letter.
The relationship between the United States and her South and Central American neighbors is not unlike that of the country doctor and his patient—except that the patient, and not the doctor, usually determines when external aid is necessary. In fact, modern medical theory seems to consider
"Stop Whiskey! Golden Treatment helped Failed Wife to Save Husband When All Else Failed." (Advertiser in a metropolitan daily). Here we are shamefully awoken again from our state of self satisfied complacency. We had been laboring under the deduction for some time that at last this country was "bone dry" and now here comes a little ad that destroys our whole little dream with one fall swallow.
Our patient, it seems, is just reaching the point where he is not certain that his minor ailments need the attention of a political expert. He wishes to care for them with home remedies, administered by individual initiative, as recommended originally by the doctor.
Once a patient reaches this stage, further efforts of the doctor to force his attention are likely to produce a negative effect. The patient's resentment, though at first easily tailed down, will continue to grow, and lead to more serious complications.
the attitude of the patient as one of the most vital factors in curing all ills.
In other words, perhaps the apparent amicability which prevailed at the closing of the recent session of the Pan-American Congress is not the whole story. Early dissentions on the part of the representatives from Argentina, Salvador and Venezuela would seem to point that way.
Perhaps the doctor and the patient would profit mutually from a conference in which diplomatic phraseology and high-sounding platitudes are made most conspicuous by their absence. The experience of the patient and the technical skill of the doctor, if combined, should produce a more healthy and happy patient. Such a result should meet with the approval of any unified physician, even in international affairs.
Now that "Kid Boots" is to be in iwen Wednesday night, the students my prepare for an overhave of lessons for Thursday.

This devolves from the fact that January 1, 1983 the year, month, week, day, hour, minute and second all begin together. That your begins on Sunday and ends on Sunday.
On that day our calendar year will have thirteen months if the proposals advocated by Congress and sponsored by the League of Nations are adopted.
These proposals suggest incorporating four complete weeks in each of thirteen months. Monday would become the recognized day for all national holidays which would give students three successive holidays.

Under the simplified calendar, all times for earning and spending will be made equal or multiples of one another, an obvious improvement over the present system under which many persons whose incomes are on a monthly basis find their expenditures on a weekly basis.
It is reaggregate that the 500 people of Kansas City must wait until they are standing at the side of the white casket of a high school motor car victim before they stop to consider the question of driving safety.

Plain Tales From the Hill
Editor Daily Kansam
The Men's Student Council fund constitutes one half of the income from the Varieties. The other half goes to the W, S, G, A, which used money for the establishment of scholarships and for group activity work.
--more ankles to sprin, or whether to wich one was a cripteen and carried plenty of spruce," says Miss Hoopes in Starbucks.
Any one who will take time to acquaint himself with the auditor's report will easily see that even if the entire amount above actual expenses is not in excess of what that amount would not approximate, the figures suggested in the opinion. In addition to that it would have to be presupposed that all imp assets should be written off without any activities which are now considered worth while. L, E, B.
Speculation is rampant on the Hill, if we can believe the insininations of a writer in the Campus Opinion column of Thursday's Kansasan. He says, "I'll go to town and report regarding where the money that is taken in on Variety dances goes and it seems to me that the Kansasan will need to explain this appointment."
Wherefore, being thus called upon the exhalation will follow.
Why all the "speculation?" Does the writer not know that every cent which the manager of the variety once receives from the treasurer of the student fund organization who is on the spot to accept each ticket with his own account once a week, F. A. U. is once more disserved every cent taken in is entered in black on white by the Administration's representative. This "speculation" is a look at the auditor's annual report of the Men's Student Council, which issued under the 1926-27 heading we notice the following entries, picked at random: $40 outfits; $45; "K" book; $75; Dad's Day dinner; $25; Jayhawkers to Kansas high schools; $25; Hob day price; $5; auditing fee $0. This list suggests in a way the money is appropriated. Three years ago
A fraternity freshman hurried home from the show Friday night to tell the brothers of the return of a noted orchestra from the west. He hurried in and said "Boy you all want to hear Sandy Welch's orchestra at the Bowers tomorrow night, he is plucky hot," meaning of course Black Knight's.
It won't be oblong now said the geometry professor as he constructed a square.
This list suggests in a small way the many activities for which money is appropriated. Three years ago money was allowed for the glee club
