Under theaint pupils of the Christian nesisociations and self-government groups, questionnaires have been distributed to more than 200 junior and senior students. This questionnaires is not intended to a mere safety-valve for students to air their "spite" under the cloak of anonymity, nor do its sponsors prow to revolutionize the whole system of education. Put into the most concrete form, the purpose of the movement is to discover student reaction to present good and had features of modern education to correct them and to establish, ultimately, a closer relationship between students and the faculty. Those who have been asked to fill out the questionnaire would do well to give it the most serious thought. Whatever the result may be, it is almost certain to have a salutary effect, and the University of Kannas movement may be the beginning of an nation-wide campaign to give the students themselves a voice in their education. A WISE DECISION A significant decision was handed down by the United States Supreme Court this week when it declared the innocence of Harold B. Fiske, who had been convicted of violating the Kauai criminal syndictal act. Fiske had declared his innocence of the charges and had challenged the constitutionality of the law by appealing to the higher tribunal. The whole case rested on the question, in a man a criminal solely because of his membership in a syndictal organization such as the Industrial Workers of the World? Kauana had said yes. The supreme court said no. As the Kansas law now stands it probabilis "utterances imminit to the public welfare, tending to incite crime, disturb the public peace or endanger the foundations of organized government." Fiske was arrested with the preamble of the constitution of the I. W. W., on his person. He was brought to trial and convicted of advocating force to overthrow the government. The preamble itself declared that the working and employing classes had nothing in common and that there could be no peace so long as hunger and want were found among the working people while the employing class had all the luxuries. It said that a struggle must go on between the two classes until the workers could organize, take possession of the industries, and abolish the wage system. In addition it proposed to emblazon on its banner the revolutionary watchword "abolition of the ware system." Kansas contended that such pro- prisonments constituted advocacy of physical violence. Finkle asserted that there was nothing in the pre- remain that advocated abatitude, arson, or any other sort of violence. The dight at last culminated in the de sision of the supreme court. If it is high time that we should learn that a man's affiliation with a questionable organization does not in itself prove his guilt. The Ku Klux Klan is said to have been responsible. for outrages in certain sections of the country, yet no one would say that all kluxes are criminals. Some American Lions poste have shady records, but that does not cast a reflection on the character of all legionnaires. Indeed, one can go down the list of various well-known organizations in this country and point out many that have acted in a way "inimical to the public welfare," but who would be so foolish to say that the members are all undecidable? In the sport world we have lightweight, henry-weight, fly-weight, middle-weight and feather-weight champions, but we wish to nominate Mrs. Ruth Sayer an such-weight champion of the world. The old saying that one can judge a man by the company he keeps, sounds well, but it shouldn't go far in a court room. A Kansas City Times headline reads, "Cheers for the 'Flying Foo'." What with the numerous columns of lost fibers in the same paper, it seems that the head should read "Jeers for the Flying Foos." A $100,000 GIFT Imagine $100,000 being thrust into the face of an organization, and that organization being unable to decide whether to accept it. That is the stare of affairs at William Jewell college. According to the terms of the gift, of Joseph B. Reynolds of Kansas City, $4000 of the interest from the money is to be set aside each year to assist William Jewell students who wish to enter the ministry, but students so benefitted must be strictly fundamentalist and according to the terms of the gifts, "the college arrest to so teach and instruct such students." This is this last clause which is causing the dispute. The Ministerial Alliance of the Baptist college declare that the acceptance of the gift will "hurass the academic freedom of the institution" and necessitate the college faculty's readjusting or utterly abolishing the teaching of biology, geology, astronomy and other sciences in seeming conflict with creation as set forth in Genesis and the consumption of the miracles, include the virgin birth. Others maintain that the provisions of the gift are in keeping with the principles laid down by the board of trustees of the college and that Mr. Reynolds was merely reiterating these principles, Mr. Reynolds himself says that he does not believe the acceptance of the gift will necessitate a change in the college curriculum. Whatever the outcome may be, it is notable that the Ministerial Alliance has openly opposed such strict indoctrination and the suppression of the research and study of youth. It would seem that China is being broken to pieces. Must "my China" would do this under the same strain and stress. The lamentable thing about the present break is that it will require more than glue to mend it. The line of cars near Watson Library every evening constitutes a new parking problem, both on and off the campus. THE LAWS OF CUSTOM THE LAWS OF Although there are laws covering practically every community of mankind and hundreds of thousands of persons devoting their entire life to enforcing them, interpreting them and making more laws, after all, play a minor role in determining our conduct. What are more important and indifferent far more coercive are manners and customs, the followways and mores of our time. The greatest trait attainable, in the eyes of most individuals, is social approval. Herein lies the key to the whole situation. If we devise ever so slightly from the established rule of custom we are censored by our neighbors. We tell the truth, generally, not because it be against the law to lie a bit or use untruths are looked upon with disfavor. Men tip their hats when speaking to women because those who don't are considered uncooth. And so on ad infinitum, in men's likeness. Customs and manners, likewise, are quite often as oppressive as laws OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. VIII Wednesday, May 18, 1927 No. 183 SCABBARD AND BLADE: ALEXANDRA BAYLEY 1295 48th St. meeting of Scabbard and Blade tonight, Wednesday, 7:39, in the military department.

THE SUMMER VACATION "Gues I'll go back and work on the farm this summer," says one of the numerous college students who will be released from scholastic responsibility this spring until the first of next September. The Chipin group was appropriate for the type of a recital that Miss Seemann gave. Her sparkling work of the Beethoven number was con- The Beethoven sonata was mostly a display of speed and brilliance. The technique was clear-en, making possible a fine appreciation of the sonata. The "Mimetto" was an interlude of repose, played with a clear melody, but lacking somewhat in color. "I'm all lined up for a trip north as chauffeur for a gang of people," says the next one. "I suppose I'll take my old summer job in the home town hardware store," says another. Hildred Stearn added another to the creditable senior recitals this spring. She had a brilliant finger (technic, displayed in the snarling run) and in the speed with which she played most of the numbers. "Don't know what I do yet," complains mother, "All the hatchlings jobs will be taken by the time ked out." But whatever they do, it's going to be great experience, and will be an important part of the education they're receiving during their four college years. And so their plans go. Billy, who is majoring in chemistry spends his summer chaperoning cattle train; while Bob, who came to college to learn how to be a big business man, will find his summer employment running n street ear. Some fortunate ones will enjoy European sights or long automobile tours. At The Concert BY JOHN THRIVELY timed and she showed artistic appreciation in the lovely "Nociceur".
