WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4. 1928 Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1897. WE INVITE YOU Recently the Campus Opinion column of the Kansan has been neglected. No letters have come to the editor's desk for so long that he is beginning to wonder whether students at the University of Kansas are swallowing everything that is being and to them with no reaction or whether they aren't swallowing it at all, and therefore cannot get any reaction. College students are often spoken of as a docile bunch who let the faculty do their thinking for them and are content to remember what is fed to them long enough to give it back at examination time. The recent fate of the Campus Opinion column in the Kansan would lead a person to this view. Yet the Kansan hesitates to believe that the students on the Hill are all of that type. One thing that shows that a student paper is really a vital part of the university life is a good column of student and faculty opinion. It can be a part of the Kansan if the readers of this paper will do their part. The editors of the Kansas want to know what opinion on the Hill is on subjects discussed in these columns and in the private bull sessions and other informal gatherings which form an important part of a student's life. If you have any opinions at all, let's have them. They may not be those of the Kansan; they may not be on subjects that are discussed at all in the Kansan. In order to serve the members of the University, however, the Kansan wishes to see the Campus Opinion column go on. We invite you to talk to your friends through this column, and to let them talk to you. Palm Beach isn't so hot after all. It snowed there yesterday, the first time since 1885. ANOTHER YEAR OF WHAT? We have embarked upon another year—we are writing another page in the old book of history. With us alone, loss success or failure. We, the students, can aid our University or we can damage it beyond repair. What has happened in the past? Has the University advanced or has it fallen behind? The University of Kansas has gone ahead in spite of huge hindrances and has progressed with each successive year. This is undeniable. It is true that our athletic situation has not been the happiest in the world. We grant that our football team did not win a majority of its games. But what of that? All of this is only secondary to our true purpose. The University of Kansas is an academic institution. What have we accomplished? We completed a new memorial to Kansas students in the World War. We dedicated a new auditorium to the youth of our state. We furthered the opportunities for foreign students to become better acquainted with us so they may be able to return to their own countries with a new mutual friendship in their hearts. Forgetting the cuts and bruises o A student at the University of Oklahoma was recently expelled for making wise cracks at an English professor—Exchange in Laily Kansen. The witty student was evidently completely out of the professor's class. WHAT DO WE CARE? What a different meaning events have to different people! To the twenty-seven young men who applied for enlistment in the marines in Kansas City Tuesday, Nicaragua means a place for adventure. The spirit of daring and romance is high in young hearts, and these young fellows want to get a taste of it in Nicaragua. For the Nicaraguans, the present trouble is a life and death struggle of a little republic to survive. The fact that thousands have been killed in the various uprisings and counter-uprials shows that they are sincere. To the ordinary man Nicaragun is synonymous with mess. "That mess in Nicaragun," is his comment. For the United States Nicaragua means wealth. There are products there which we need and we must fight to get them. And in the fighting we must use United States Marines. Thus everyone is satisfied except the Nicaraguaans. The marines get the adventure and death, the big business men get the money, and the ordinary citizen gets nothing and cares less. Mussolini's tax on bachelors in Italy yielded 8792,000 in the four months that it has been levied. Wonder what will be the leap year premium on them in America? "A NEW AND BETTER" The host of new yearly models of motor cars is upon us. New and beautiful lines, roofer bodies, greater acceleration, more durable finish—each manufacturer tries to outdo the others in his praise of the own make of car. In the swarm of new models, the ordinary person stands bewildered until some smooth salesman persuades him and the family that a certain car has all the attributes that will make them supremely happy for the next ten years. Next year the same salesman will be around trying to get the family to trade off the "old" car and get a new model, roomier, more beautiful, smoother, lower priced—the same old line. Our ordinary man will probably sucumb and drive away a new car, leaving his other automobile, as good as new, in the used care saleroom. Our automobile bill in America is sure to be high, and to mount constantly as the people fall more and more for the magic of the advertisements and displays of beautiful cars. There is little justification, however, for the年early crop of new models, which are often not as good as their immediate predecessors, but merely offer an excuse to the auto salesman to go around and attempt to get Mr. Ordinary Man to trade off his "old" car. Even the manufacturer who used to say "constantly improved but no yearly models" seems to have yielded to the lure of great profits and to be producing yearly models with the rest. We buy them happily, and the family must go without the ordinary comforts of life to pay for them. Seven men were arrested in Pittsburgh, Pa., for being too "seatty attired." Now it's just about time men were raising the cry of "equal rights." The naval investigation of the sinking of the S-4 has begun. There will be a court of inquiry which will sit and deliberate and finally arrive at some conclusion as to who was responsible for the loss of the lives of 40 men. WILL A SAFETY DEVICE BE PROVIDED? All the inquiries in the world, however, will not bring the six men who Quintet rehearsal on both content songs. The make-up of the final contest squand will depend largely upon the showing made in these quartets this week. Regular rehearsal this evening as usual. New men taken on this day. New women on Wednesday evening at the latest regarding assignment for quartet concert. THOS. A.

The fact that the accident occurred under circumstances that clearly show that somebody was criminally negligent is bad enough; the fact that there had been no way provided for the six men carried to the bottom of the sea alive to escape is much worse. Although we delayed the adoption of parachutes until after the world war, we finally did make them standard equipment of government flyers. No such safety device for those who travel under the sea has been provided. If the submarine sinks, any survivors perish, no matter if only a hundred feet of water separate them from the free air above. It is time that the government either adopted a safety outlet from sunken submarines, or else abandoned the craft to those nations who avowed wish to use them for what they really are, an inhuman instrument for killing civilians and destroying commerce in time of war. If President Coolidge's wrists get sore from shaking hands with the New Year crowds, we wonder what he would do if he had to take notes from some of our professors? The Star, in speaking of Constantinople, says traffic police are no aid there. That's nothing. You don't have to go so far from home to find that condition. Do not condemn the hand shaking tactics of the Hill politicians this spring. They have foresight. When they get to the White House they will not choose to have wrists in bandages as President Obama had Plain Tales From the Hill --is the Night The 8:30 K. U. street car was overflowing with students, but the crowd was a merry one. One was surprised at the industry of the University men who offered to get out any, push the creeping trolley. The first stop on the campus was made and into this atmosphere stepped a certain well known economics professor, who sounded a sad voice.

The faculty of the University of Oregon has harned the publishing of the University "scandal sheet," which carried the term report of student grades and was rooted at random from a large pool of students. The general criticism and exorbitant cost of editing the sheet were the causes of its abolishment. Eldridge Pharmacy Conklin and Sheaffer Fountain Pens—Pencils— Desk Set—Lifetime Guarantee. 701 Mass.
