THE DISADVANTAGE OF SEGREGATION
Two things stand out in the report of Mrs. Haldenman-Julius following her investigation of the status of the Negro students at the University and other state colleges. The first is that racial prejudice must be charged to the students, not the administration nor the faculty, which she found to be working for an improved status; and the other, that racial discrimination seems to be increasing.
The first finding, at least, seems to be borne out by the number of communications which have reached the editor's desk. Quite a few, all of them students, have shown no reticence in expressing their dislike for the Negro race.
Members of the faculty who have been on the Hill for a length of years or who were students here assert that the second conclusion is true. The increase in the proportion of Negro students over whites in recent years suggests a possible correlation between this fact and the increasing hostility.
Obviously here is a problem which eventually must be solved, and the students, who have given rise to it, must as supposedly intelligent persons, aid in its solution. Some have already suggested separate schools. Yet this is no solution. It is merely postgraduate, with an increased intensity.
America is not economically or socially suited for a castle system. The industrial age, with its increased facilities for intercommunication, and material and cultural advancement, which is breaking down the castle system in India, will make it more difficult to establish it in a country whose traditions oppose it.
The Negro population, comprising better than eleven per cent of the total population, cannot be segregated in the world outside of education. Unless students, who are supposedly "preparing for life," expect to spend their remaining years in a monastery they cannot escape association with other races. It would seem, then, that it might be to their advantage, even they though they may at first shrink from it as they recolt from hard-thinking in the classroom, to learn something of other groups than those into which they happened to be born.
The three University of Oregon debaters who have started to "talk their way" in a tour around the world will probably cause a wave of preparedness in air defense.
AN EXAMPLE FROM NEW YORK POLITICS
In writing his "American Commonwealth" Viscount Bryce included a chapter on "Why Great Men Are Not Elected President," which has since become famous through its frequent citation. He confined his observations mainly to the office of the chief executive, but the same difficulties which impede the election of dominant personalities of independent mind to that position, he could have found almost throughout the political system.
While the assumption that no high-calibre men are chosen for political office is in no sense warranted, it is nevertheless true that they are greatly handicapped. Conscientiously they may find it necessary to differ with their party, and quite often with the party machine; it is seldom that they have the political strength to back the machine. Inadequate salaries discourage many able men from running. And even should an independent-minded man be elected he may find himself hammered by the other officeholders.
Occasionally men break from the strongly organized political groups and seek office on the strength of their personality. Roosevelt did it in 1924; La Follette and White in 1924; and while now was successful their attempts were politically wholesome. But it must be remembered that they sought presidential and gubernatorial offices; municipal and lesser offices are not allowing to dominant men. It is refreshing, then, and politically significant, that a person of Norman Thomas's character and reputation has entered the relatively trivial phlebotonic race in New York City. Doctor Thomas an honor graduate of Priere
ton, has distinguished himself as an minister, social worker, magazine editor and labor leader. He is well remembered on the campus by the inspiring talks he gave in convocation and elsewhere last spring. And now he seeks a minor municipal office on the Social list ticket in an attempt to crack the rule of Tammary.
He has received endorsement from Republicans and Democrats alike, from such well-known men as Rubb Stephen S. Wien, and Owald Garrison Villard, from the New York World and the Citizens' Union of New York. He may or may not be elected, but his campaign will have a salutary political effect, nevertheless. For reform cannot come from high up onside; it is just as necessary in municipal offices. The ultimate significance of such acts as these will be to re-emphasize the value of outstanding men in all offices.
F forty faculty women at the University of Texas are enrolled in the physical training classes. In a few more years Longhorn students will either be obedient or be wrecked.
Campus Opinion
The "Solid South" has been called by many the darkest portion of these United States, due to a proportion of Negroes but because of the ignorance and racial intolerance manifested in its treatment of this region. It is also known that it is best exemplified in the South's "Jim Crow" laws; in its lynchings and hygories; and the generally bruised.

Recent letters in campus opinion indicate that the virus of the South has affected some of the students at the University, despite the exposure of such students to an atmosphere of fear. The university would expect University students to be in the vanguard in trying to achieve amicable relations with a race
Editor Daily Kansan:
Mrs. Haldeman-Julius is working for a more harmonious adjustment of this very serious problem. By trying to understand the diverse variety, she is working to achieve a balanced relationship between those individuals destined to be the leaders in society and those not yet fitted in expecting a higher degree of tolerance and sympathetic understanding from a presumably humanist educator. She will be eliminated among those members of both race sharing in common the advantages of education, the prospect for an ultimate understanding on a civilized place becomes quite beneficial.
whose members compose over twenty millions of our entire American population.
Once we recognize the Negro as a racial brother and accord to him the right to bear arms, there is an effort to really realize the Brotherhood of Man in act as well as precept.
The Negro is entitled to be recorded our much vaulted American "equality" in the reality as well as the abstract. He has brought cultural gifts to America, now being recognized as of great importance in art and literature which he demand us to, which alone would demand such consideration.
And there remains the consideration that it is to our own advantage to accord the Negro the treatment in all cases, but not to find it very pleasurable or profitable to live in a neighborhood where bricks were constantly being thrown about an symbolic of the mutant affection by neighbor for another x.

Editor Daily Kansas:
The recent investigation conducted by Mrs. Haldeman-Julius to determine the extent the narcissus were being discriminated against here at the University, has started in my judgment, a bombardment that promises ill feeling and hatred that can be severely overcome by the good of society.
The administration it swears, with care exception, is doing all it can to increase its visibility on the campus. The students and the tax the administration are asking for are being answered. The student opinions following this have borne out the fact that it is a strong advocate.
Harmony and peace between the two race on the Hill is not going to be easy, but they each perceive each percept in calling the other a day and a horse thief through the hill.
Under the present conditions it means we would all feel better and happier if our faults and shortcomings were removed from other other way through the Kansas.

At the Concert
Both Prof. W, B. D. Downing, bartensions, and Prof. W. Walker Gellich, violinist, failed to establish contact with their audiences at the Parkway Chapel channel. The audience was unresponsive which was perhaps due to a hard week end and minimal attendance, so one number "Rain in the Desert" descriptive of the coming of rain in the desert after a long drought, awakened the enthusiasm of the audience seemed to put more interpretive feeling than in his other numbers. Professor Downing's voice is planning, but he still has some intensity with few variations.
Wha Professor Gethsch plays, it seems that all of the little pixies of music are dazzling about his head.
He plays with intense feeling and succeeds in giving expressiveness and delicate shading to his numbers. His last number, Zapancado (Spanish dance), in which he produces unusual effects with his bow, was well res-

Most of the monsters whose carved heads are all different, these immobile beasts boast their unflarging loyalty.
Brown wont int othe Smoky Hills exploits without a "cut and dried" zeal and with the aid of the mountainters who knew nothing of acting prowess, but many more as many as one of the best in years. It is indeed something different and hose who care for such will probably etch much enjoyment from Stark Love.
