Freedom of speech at the University of Wisconsin is held in high regard, as is shown by the bronze tablet in one of the hallways of the university bearing this inscription: "that by fearless siting and winnowing alone can the truth be found." The specific instance in point is the refusal of the student forum of that university to allow Mrs. Bertrand Russell to talk on companionate marriage after her "bad taste" in her experimental attitude toward sex had become positively known to the members of the forum.
FREEDOM AT WISCONSIN
Dr. Glenn Frank, noted as an advocate of freedom of speech, accounted for his advice to the student forum with these words: "I gave it as my opinion that Mrs. Russell had included in an exhibition of very bad taste and said that if I were a member of the student forum I would not favor bringing her here to address a mixed audience."
Lecturing in connection with her book, "The Right to Be Happy," Mrs. Russell must such statements as these: "I believe in two or three companion marriages before one sets down. How else can one be sure until one has experimented?" A woman should always experiment before marriage, just as a man does. There should be no need to be about it."
In this situation, we have Doctor Frank deciding between a theory perhaps sacred to him, and expedition Many of those passing comments on the case condemn him for gross inconsistency, and, equally there are those who praise him warmly for taking a clear decision based on conditions and not blinded by a thumb rule of ethics.
The case is worthy of much consideration. Much comment is being made and much will be made, much of which will doubledess be unjust. Few will understand President Frank's position. Perhaps there were local conditions that occasioned his refusal to an even greater extent than that involved by the more public discussion of Mrs. Russell's theory of experimentation without shame.
The problem of freedom of speech and of the press has been a very difficult one from the day of the Bill of Rights to this day; it will always be a difficult one, for theory, unassailable in itself, will always come into conflict with public expediency. President Frank, one of the foremost advocates of freedom, finds himself as much perplexed as did Thomas Jefferson when he came to the Presidency and the government suffered from the unrestraint of the press whose freedom he had ardently defended.
President Frank's idealistic theory gave way to a practical treatment of the situation. The trouble, of course, lies in the fact that what seemed to him practically justifiable does not seem to others.
It is conceded that freedom of speech or freedom of the press involves an obligation for a distinct social service. The question, then, that naturally arises is who is going to say what the obligation is or what it is not.
LAUGHING AT THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS
The most significant feature of Premier Mussolini's speech in the Italian chamber last week probably was his attitude of ridicule toward the League of Nations. Vigorously defending Italy's right to control her province gained by the war in any way she pleases, he defied any government or power outside Italy to interfere, even if a minority were being tyrannized in such provinces.
The speech was occasioned by the recent note of Chancellor Suprel of Austria, charging Italy with concession of German speaking minorities in the Italian Tyroli, and was thereafter directed primarily at Austria. The threat to the League of Nations, however, was unmistakably there.
The premier declared that if the League entered the hibernation of "mutinies" it would never emerge, "The League of Nations? What a hop!" said II Hurec, and the deputies laughed. There is in the threat thrown out, Whether the League of Nations chooses to recognize it or simply to ignore the incident, the fact remains that Italy considers the court of Garegon as of no use in setting her difficulties, and furthermore, that she would repend any attempt by the League to take a hand in such affairs; armed force.
The Longevity of Nations is still it the experimental stage. Although it has won several notable victories in world peace, it has not yet proved that it can bear a serious struggle with a world power. Its greatest test is probably to come. After Premier Mussolini's declaration it seems that the test may come by way of Italy. A prompt recognition of the attitude of the fascist toward it and the taking of step to adjust the differences in the Tyrol, if there be real grievances in that province, will do much to strengthen the position of the League in such countries as the United States, who are still looking ascend at it.
TELEVISION AND PONCE DE LEON
Monday night in the Auditorium another veil was lifted of those that have hidden the long-sought fountain made famous by the quest of Fords Lion. Not in the dense everglades of Florida, but in the orderly, busy laboratories of modern America has the course of longer life been discovered.
The search for Youliu has lead other men than the old Snailander over long trails. Men have used monkey giants and poison drugs, witchery and prayer, in their efforts to extend this single life allotted to us to make it include more of the World's rich experience.
Two weeks ago an airplane fell into the sea just off the Florida coast one evening and later they found only the wreckage of the plane. The aviator was 25. An early age for a life to be snuffed out? Certainly. But in the 23 years of his existence, Hurry Brooks had gained more of this earth's experience than would have been possible in 230 years in the time of de Leon. In a few hours just before his death, Brooks had flown over the territory through which the old Courter struggled month after month with painful slowness. On his flight to take Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh to Mexico City, Brooks traversed in two days a distance which would have taken years for the Spanish. In his Detroit home, he had always at his command luxury such as de Leon had seen only in the court of the King and still other luxuries then undreamed of.

If the old Cavalier had found the fountain he sought and bathed in the waters till it re was granted a thousand years of Youth such as had been his, he would not in that time have been able to collect so much of adventure, understanding, luxury and fame as Brooks had achieved in his 23.

M. KAST
W. S. JOHNSON, Chairman
K. U. AERO CLUB:
It has been announced by the Kanan that Tol Shultz has been offered work that will take him from the campus. Upon the attitude of the students and faculty of the University toward the work he is doing and has completed, the faculty motion of the offer. It is up to theancer to give him his answer.
Campus Opinion
of the great insurance companies show that within the past century the average length of life has been measurably extended. And although the maximum age limit to which human life is extended seems stationary, an even greater contribution of science has been the immense reduction of disease and suffering during the years that we live. Leprosy has almost disappeared from the earth; paralysis is often curbed; examples may be increased without number.
The second lecture of the ground school course will be given Sunday March 11, at 2:20, in the club rooms of the Community Building. All are invited to attend.
In the first phrase, I am sure that there is no one on the cabin who do not agree with Wednesday's editorial. Personal contact may be necessary.
While the Kanana columns are being filled with discussion of means of completing the Union building, plans for another major construction various other issues, it should be pointed out that the campus is right now confronted with a much greater number of students, and more nuance with its importance. The future of the University Y, M. C. A.
Television—the ability of a mother to see her son two thousand miles away without going to him—is but another step in the process of giving us more in the allocated time.
To science we must credit the discovery of the Fountain of Youth. It has given us a slightly longer life, a healthier life, a life filled with more of luxury, and less humpered by distance and time. It is for the individual to see that it is filled with more of humpiness.
One view of the situation, highly compliable to Ted, was given in the editorial column of the Kaman Wednesday. That there are other views conflicting with this one, is from a member of the cabinet and an officer during the past year will not be out of the way.
DICK WILLS, Secretary
--have become so imbued with the spirit of idealism, love, and sacrificial living, which is exemplified in every word and act of Ted Shultz, that they believe it is a direct and personal loss to have. But this group is small. The vast majority of the students have evidenced a profound apathy towards the world. A few of them are openly persuasive to it from personal conviction.
Editor Daily Kansan:
As cabinet members we meet with two major criticisms as to the policy of the Y. M. C. A. In the first place, it is important not to act in a dictatorial act, but with the realization that it is our intent to interfere in a larger group all the while, if it may be done without compromising liberal values or human rights to be the life of the association.
The second criticism is that the program in one divided and predefined, contrary to the liberal characterization of the program. It requires the efforts of the cabinet and Ted Shultz to make it otherwise. It must allow their policy to preside over decisions on which countries as possible. This has sometimes been. On numerous occasions it has been said that the relationship between Doctor Saxey and Professor Alexander was especially successful, and it is due to the effort of the cabinet to open up conversations contesting doctors' experiences confronting students.
But the fact remains that amply, lack of support and sympathy, and third antagonism and prejudice, even in students is going to drive Tedhutts from the campus to another field where he can be made a greater leader. He will be given his life. Others realizing the profound loss his departure would mean, whether or not they agree with what he was doing, will be perfect program of the Y, M, C, A. should so express themselves, offering what suggestions they may have for improvement, and join with the other faculty who wish to hope you may"—W, A, D.
Editor Daily Kansan:
One of, if not the greatest provocation of student studies at the University of Kansas, which some of you will remember for its infamous and inhumane torture imposed upon the student by Lawrence theater once with their weekend picture programs.
The last straw came in the production of "Breckles" which occurred at the Bowersock theater the latter part of last week. As I was awoken Saturn shouted something to do, I decided to attend the Bowersock for my afternoon meadow.

I was just dosing off during the latter semester of the comedy when I was awakened by funny cheers from a friend. He was sent back of me, and was forced to witness the antics of Freckles the instructor, partly out of spirit of self-dismille, and partly out of curiosity as we saw how little fictional bits can be.
While, c course Freckle "does no murder crickle, I am going to say a few words to let the blind have some idea of what we, who are less forcible than the murderers. The plot was conventional, and involved the unique idea of having the hero rescued just in time. We didn't know much about nature revived, and if one hadn't been previously warned by the title, he might think that he was seeing the utterization of the Boy Genius, when he trifled between a youth of 14 summer and the girl of the Lumber-bet, who nursed the 180 pound bully back to life numerically to the fund of other invaders, a bunch of other invaders.
Chancellor of this calibre are an inmate to the intelligence of any person with an eightth grade education, abiding by the moral and the beautiful stories about Beck, the English Marvel, and the rest of the barbarians. Tim-Tim-Tim, the Wonder Girl, will appear the first three days of the week at times might be worse, but those that occupy the screen the last three are absolutely one-hundred per day.
The fact that the theater owens can draw attention audiences on weekends regardless of whether to provide food or drink, or "Wimps" gives him the upper hand, and there is really nothing that can be done about it, but I would like to point out that he was presented for an hour or two, each Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoon, and so on, and to send up a prayer or an appeal or something, that at least newspaper pictures be shown in Lawson's weekly programs—L.

"Those who participate in sports and those who do not are of the same intelligence, but athletes fall below non-athletes in the matter of the course grades," is the final opinion of College, Northfield, Minn., who has spent several years in research upon this question.
The athletic council of the University of Illinois has placed all athletics on a major basis.
The student senate at the University of Nevada has recommended the global movement on the ground that it is an important and unnecessary institution.
