THE EDITOR'S RIGHT TO LEAD
To say that the newspaper is merely a part of the mechanics of modern communication in only to state a part of its function. Because it is the enif contact between the individual and society, it has always been looked upon as a leader of opinion. Logically, the newspaper editor has no more right to attempt to lead public opinion than has the hutcher, or doctor, or groceryman. Actually, he is forced to lead. It is expected of him.
But it is not so an individual that the editor lead; he is allowed expression of opinion because, theoretically at least, he is in closer touch with world affair. The editorial writer is a kind of public memory, or conscience. The news columns tell only events of today. It is the editorial writer's business to relate today's events to those of the past, and from the relation draw conclusions concerning future actions.
DUTCH DATES
The man who excused his wife for shooting him by saying that she act hastily is evidently only too thankful that she didn't take more leisure, so the shot.
Speaking of a movement which has recently found favor with young people in some parts of the country, the Times-Fairley of New Orleans quotes a Tulane man as follows:
"Twenty-five per cent of the Amer can girls are working girls, the others are working men. Nearly all girls have become vegetarian nowadays. It is lettuce eat, lettuce go to a picture show, lettuce go home in a taxi."
As a result of this condition, the Louisiana paper adds that fifty-fifth clubs are springing up all over the country with the idea of a share-allic basis for dates. In a query conducted among young people in New Orleans, the girls were found to be against the movement, and many of the boys for it.
The feminine attitude is quite typical of the folkways of the sex. "Let us vote," they say, but they don't want to do the reality dirty work. "Let us smoke and drink," say the flappers, but they have no desire to be classed as drunks. "Let us be masculine, and take the man's place in money-making, but remember the chivalry that is due us as members of the gentler sex.
"Let us decide what we are to do for the evening, and let us share the money you make, even though we may be making quite as much, if not more, than you are, but don't dare think that we will share the expense. It is quite enough for us to lend our beautiful and gracious person to the occasion."
The mourful fact is that the men have always taken it in near a siting posture as their Santa Claus role permitted. Now it seems that a Moses has come out of the wilderness. It is to be hoped that the men will have enough nerve to follow This writer—who is a man—hasn't.
It is rumored that the "K" club may hold a line party for freshmen at the game Saturday.

WE GET SLAPPED
elsewhere on this page is a campus opinion taking the Kanan to task for some glaring errors committed during the past week. We wish to thank the writer for his interest, for if more readers would take an interest in their newspaper, better newspapers would be printed. Each of the criticisms is a just one, except the one concerning a “Beg Your Pardon” which the Kanan ran. No paper can be perfect, and the “beg your pardon” is a legitimate means of correcting errors. We should be criticised for not having more of them rather than because we ran only one.
However, the writer of this opinion need not feel that he is telling us something we do not know. Each day's Kaman is posted on the bulletin board in the news room, with errors pointed out to an admiring student editors and rub reporters. And each day's issue contains more mistakes than this writer found in several days' issues.
But the writer's statement that the Journal-World contains more Hill news than the Kansan cannot be substantiated. During the three days of Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (Contailing the Journal-World Saturday against the Kansan Sunday), the Kansan carried exactly 109 head stories of Hill activities, while the Journal-World carried 29. This does not include personal, sport notes, and features. Neither does it include the editorial page matter, which accounts for nearly one-fourth of every issue of the Kansan, and which is devoted chiefly to Hill affairs.
There is no competition between the two papers, for the Kisan is a BILL paper and the Journal World is a LAW paper. The Journal-World reporter looks over the news in the Kisan, news room every day and we are given the same privilege at the Journal World office.
Injured pride naturally brings this explanation; but may we be said that while we are injured we are at the same time bettered. Any organization gets hazy un subjected to outside criticism; and newspapers would be much better in general if there were more persons like the writer of this opinion, willing to tell us our mistakes to our face, rather than gripe about us behind our backs.
"Tues' Pey Her Way," says a headline about Marveline Hall of the University of Missouri. Perhaps many women who read the line will come to realize that all too many toes have been "born to blush unseen" in the past and begin to make use of all their latent talent.
The Hill in Its Beauty Garb
The slope west of Potter lake stretches in smooth undulation to meet the steep bank which rises from the stream. The sweep of close cut grass shows barely a trace of green, and the foliage of a few small bushes is dull. Below the trees the fallen leaves are blown into dry, brown soil, so that the very branches of a frost stripped cottonwood, and in the scarlet aphleses of the drab, rocky incline.

Campus Opinion
Why cannot one depend on news in the Kansan? Aren't the subscribers entitled to something more than a minute's notice of an announcement? One would think that a paper under the heading "University Daily Kansan" would give us "canon" news. "canon" will discover that the Lawrence Journal-World fulfills the obligation better. Witness the Journal-World's record of Monday's earthquake.
--on their sweaters, perhaps the student body would take them back into confidence as the athletic department regard to the selling of programs.
A Kiek on the Kansan
Editor's note: The writer of the above opinion, not the Kanasn, is responsible for the misspelling of "subverber."
"The course of Elder and Hobbes took them over 10,000 more miles on foot than he was able to walk when he passed out of Newfoundland." - From the Kansan of October
The second and third quotations are self-contradictory, and the fourth is self-explanatory. The last is in the same class with the first.
"Members of Scabbard and Blade
and their pledges will meet at the
Taua Tau night." —Both from
the Kaman of October 21.
"Plodiacea of the Scabbard and Blade were entertained at a smoker at the Theta Tau toun last night."
The Kanan wishes to correct a statement issued in the edition for Mr. Kawasaki that instruct should have read that the speaker was a member of the faculty of Shanghai College and not a student. From the Kanan of October 23.
"Berkley, Calif., Oct. 21—A team of navy seamen on a boarded-board duration was indicated the disturbance started about 8 m. s. and was 15,000 miles distant." From the article by Lois S. Riese.
The Kansan stated that neither Mim Elixer nor Halberman are navigators. Neither am I, but I would have gone in the opposite direction to the Azores 6,000 miles sooner. No wonder our airline played out!
Why the Pep Gang?
If the *Ku Kus* and the * Jay James* would descend to the cinder track in front of the West Stadium, get a little closer.
This leads us up to the question: What is a n e p app organization good for, anyway? Is it a means whereby the team may congregate to occupy a few choice seats on the 45 yard line, crowd together and crowd out the rear of the team here with a select crowd of wicketkeepers. No, a n e p organization should队 up with the cheerleaders to help them practice their skills. Any loyal Jawkewater takes to a lesson from the Aggies, but the Ku Kuj might well note the purple Wilkens works in union with a spirited member of the club and another reminder, Ka Kus and Jay James, whenever you use hielows in a giant stoot that the Crimson and the Blue Team have been not be obtained for this purpose, provide the Jay Kua with hats fastened with hat pins and the lad at the women's clubhouse weapons be recalled to use. The students favor the Ku Kuj and the Jay Kua when they function, but they cannot say much for them when they simply pay a visit to Memorial medium.
