APPRECIATING LITERA-
TURE BEFORE IT'S
MUSTY
It is no longer necessary for an author to be dead for fifty years before his Literature is a proper subject for discussion by professors of literature. The series of lectures on the works of contemporary authors by various members of the English department which begins Thursday afternoon with a discussion of George Bernard Shaw renders a double function. It will enable students to better interpret the present age through an understanding of its Literature; and it re-create an interest in the classes of the past for the sake of comparison.
Such Literary lights as Shaw, Thomas Hardy, Joseph Connell, John Galsworthy, Robert Frout, Vachel Lindsay and Carl Sandburg, have either foreseen and predicted the rise of this age, or have portrayed it in its presence. A liberal education demands at least a canal acquaintance with their lives and their work; while a series of occasional lectures cannot accomplish that, it may serve as an incentive for leisurely and more comprehensive study later.
We see where a noted professor of geology at the Geological Institute of Heidelberg has given up his teaching for the career of a professional boxer. We just figured that some foreigner would come along and beat our own Gene Tumney at his own game.
PUBLIC SERVICE THROUGH DISOBEDIENCE
Is it any concern of Mr. Public Citizen if $7.35 is spent by the United States Navy when $1,00, if intelligence used, would do as well? Recalling that more than eighty per cent of all federal income through taxation is spent on past and future wars, and that the navy isn't particularly stinted in its appropriation, we say that it is of utmost concern to the aforementioned Mr. Citizen.
Even if the informing public servant is displeased—as Admiral Gruber has been—the public is entitled to such knowledge. For in the long run it is the common man—at least we like to think so—and not Washington bureaucrats who determine the policy of the government.
No doubt Admiral MacGruder has violated a Navy department ruling Not a difficult thing to do, for the army and the navy are honeycombed with rules and regulations. But unless his charges are palpably erroneous or false Secretary Wilbur is himself displaying incompetence by detaching him from duty. If his charges are true, or will lead directly to truth, then the admiral is to be commended for public service.
Not infrequently in the past have needed reforms been started by subordinates in the government who saw beyond their superior in their vision Roosevelt, Mitchell, Sims, and Wood all have been imbued in this sense. Autocratic discipline may not only shield waste and inefficiency; it tends to make policies static.
Even if the MacGruder incident has reacted unfavorably for the principal, it is to the public advantage that he has spoken. He has again focussed
attention on the subject of government; and perhaps if the public had been a little more alert during the Harding regime the Supreme Court might never have been called upon to so scathingly brand a former cabinet officer as "families."
To the old admonition that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, has been nuded the discovery that an orange a day keeps the dentist away. Now all that contains is to find something that will keep the high-powered salesman away.
A VISION IS SEEN
While intelligent reading of newspapers can do something toward bringing better papers, the responsibility for what our newspapers are and will be rests chiefly upon the men who make them: the publishers, editors, reporters and printers.
Newpaper work in the past has been to a great extent a hit and miss proposition. Men engaged in it often solely to make money, or to further private ends in other ways, or because they had made a failure of some other work. Consequently the papers which were published were hit or mis affaires, and cultivated unto the day was the news thereof. At the same time there have been men of vision in the "game", and from them and from outside criticism has come a granddaughter to the part the newspaper plays and can play in human life. That is to say, there is a growing sense of responsibility among newspapermen themselves.

Editor Pauly Kansan:
A famous humanist once said that "toer is human" and being a student of human nature, I have to agree with the common humanity of human beings. I failable irresponsibility of some individuals seem to be pitted with this 'fall-philipin' more than ever. In a world in which hard to forgive or overlook such a gross misrepresentation of existing conditions and realities an article titled *The campus opinion articles* of Oct. 28, 1987.
This article is sociological in nature with bias to no race, group, or institution. Its main purpose is to defend Lawrence against traditional and blessed statements. It may be true that Lawrence has a somewhat large Negro population, yet he never was among the many artists with no Negro population at all. Agnia Lawrence is not the only city with Negro as citizens, but it is an unusual nor surpacing realization.
Balloys are very dangerous; even in declaring one's religious coven in this skeptical age, where only facts and knowledge can be used to explain causes for Negroes outside of the state to seek a liberal education at a college or university. More other than that the doors of education are shut and Southern States have no grade of thought. More other than that the doors of education are shut and Southern States have no grade of thought. What grounds are there for white students, of other states with as great an institution as any in the South, why the assumption in percentage which is entirely unfounded and un-
This liberal education has indeed made me a wookieir of truth, but there are many heathens. However it is worth noting that I am long and for all. It is somewhat an extreme compliment to the Negro students, that they wear better clothes than we do. The fact that this does not swell their pride nor arouse any vain thoughts that the suit of two years ago is still worn, makes it even more important or father will be a little relieved, Cars of Negroes on the campus are indeed a rarity and owned only by students who live in the city. Just for Fordie, Oh well, you walk from Ad to France any day, without being aware of the parallels of Cadillacs, Lincoln, or Chrysler? Oh yes, I 1
Fortunately I am not the only student in Watson library for experience with the my facts has not been narrow. The conduct in the magazine room or elsewhere in the library is not particulary general in character. If one a sense are affected with negro-pachychois, naturally the darker side is seen in her books and in the problem we must agree if we accept all the facts secured, thank goodness, that Watson library is a "you" as well—a privilege well used. It is rather refreshing to know the truth, for ignorance is bliss. And this is why we love the life of our society. Let us hope that this liberal education may add more workshops at the Stirne of Truth, and ignorance be destroyed...A. B. J.

AN AUTUMN TINT
By LUCILE-PARIS
$1.95
CARNAVAL for Holeproof Hosiery
An exquisitely styled sheer, transparent, full-faceted blonde hose. In the top, a soft fabric in the bern top. An interlining of soft laine in the foot and grater top adds to the wear and texture of the beautiful texturing.
Likely as the name Lucille has given it — it's a spirited shade which responds harmoniously to combination with the high caramel colored fabrics and Stroller tan and reddish tan shoe leather. A touch of brilliance, a hint of the cottie like this color interesting emphasis on the foot, it is exceedingly good for street wear, and bears the high approval of Parisiennes.
Wildly varied are the jobs leading up to telephone management.
Another quest for modern Balboas
COLUMBUS made possible Balcony, and just so I will Bell has made possible the pufffenders in telephony we are now turning his vision into reality.
They are pioneering at the drafting board, in the manufacturing departments, in the field and in the work which underlies all activity-management. In executive and administrative control in the supervision's opportunity to guide and inspire, there is no limit to the possibilities of the progressive idea.
The questing spirit into new fields has achieved much, but the way remains open for men of the coming century. The need for a dutry to still greater heights of service.
