CRABBED AGE TO YOUTH
Because both students and instructors are weary of the long and tiresome efforts of a year's work, one class recently tried the experiment of reversing the two positions. A class group made the assignments and the instructor was included in those upon whom the task was inflicted.
Incidentally, the instructor gave youth a bit of food for thought, and although some of it may be a little hard to swallow, youth accepts with graciousness the criticism and gentle irony, because it is still conceived enough to think that there are a few complimentary notes scattered through the following tribute headed, "Crabsbed Ag Toouth."
Life seems to have to grow by conflict between the generations. The civilizations in which youth bows submissively are static. The younger generation must gain its way, crack old set things—including, alas, many that are beautiful and good—and so clear the way for new things, which it sometimes builds.
Sometimes. The lovely thing about youth is its subtitle confidence that everything it wants to do is better, everybody who refuses entire yiddish is tyrannical, and all who disagree with it are intolerant, bigoted or mentally deficient.
Where do you get it, Youth—that idea that you made the world? Why do you forget that every past generation has had its youth and its struggles and built them into the structure of its maturity—else you would be starting at the jungle? Why do you forget that, however you build in the heights, your parents and theirs and countless generations are the substructure of the fabric?
Do you think for one moment that your children are not going to break wide open the walls of your structure, leaving only the framework? You are going to wish, while cheering them to the conflict, that they would take the trouble to understand that it took some courage and intelligence other than theirs to make things even what they are, and that there are still some brains left in the doddering generation just preceding them.
Why, when you turn your faces toward the sunrise, do you forget that dawn is a recurrent thing? Every day was a new day once.
And yet perhaps it is as well. For the accomplishment of many vital things in this baffling world, perfect, flawless confidence is essential. Perhaps it is good and certainly it is joyous for one period in your life to be perfectly sure that, whatever belie you hold, you are absolutely right; for unless you become professional propagandists, which God forbid, or professional cynics—the only thing possible which is worse—you are never going to be sure of it again.
DRAWING THE LINE
The crusaders against vice are at it again. Their latest attempt to protect the morals of the people of the United States is a drive inaugurated by the treasury department in Washington in an effort to prohibit the circulation of literary classics which certain officials believe to be "grossly obscene."
The treasury department desires to
bring about closer co-operation with the postoffice department by issuing orders to local customers officials which will suppress Shakespeare, Balzac, Swift, and other works of recognized literary merit.
A shipment of an unexpurgeable edition of "The Arabian Nights" and three shipments of the "Decameron" have been held up pending hearings which have not yet been arranged. The Washington officials are somewhat puzzled as to where to draw the line between decency and obscenity. The problem is to find a mathematical formula, yardstock, or set of scales which can be used to determine which of the classics are unfit for public consumption.
Frank Dwol, acting commissioner of customs in the treasury department, has sent out orders concerning what should be suppressed that are even more exclusive than the restrictions of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. John Summer, head of the litter organization, confesses that he has been outdone in his own 'felt.'
At any rate, it is comforting to know that great masterpieces of art will be treasured and loved centuries after the men who would suppress them have been forgotten.
A fellow really can't be expected to pop up until after his Sunday night data has ordered. It's hard to enjoy anything when you are in suspense.
WEST HILLS
The University should appreciate the proximity of West Hills, the new residential section of Lawrence which is so rapidly and pleasantly building up west of the campus. So often, in a University community undecidable centers grow up near the campus. Lawrence has been relatively free from this monte so far. And now with the growing addition to the west of the campus following out the ideals of beauty and non-commercialism another step has been to elevate the campus above unsightly environs and non-commercial districts.
West Hills, profiting by the experience of other cities, is now safeguarded by tested and proved restricting, the greatest influence in building neighborhood morale and solving the problem of changing and declining residential sections. From West Campus Road passing between West Hills and the University Campus, a commanding view is obtained of the fortile valley of the Kaw river as it approaches from the north, dividing the city as it passes on into the distance toward the east. Likewise may be seen the historic Wakara Valley on the south. To the west is the Country Club with its alluring golf course.
Landscape architects of wide experience in city planning have laid out the district. Instead of the conventional city blocks, there are winding adapted to the natural contour, making possible artistic homesites with broad and unobstructed outlook. All in all, the addition known as West Hills is extremely sightly and adds a feature to the town and University which is indeed constructively beautiful and ideal.
It now remains for some patriotic citizen to suggest that this trouble the Mississippi is causing really started in Russia.
A NORMAL BUNCH OF FOLKS
A student's impression of the thirty-fifth annual convention of the Kansas Editorial Association at Topeka last Friday is that the membership is made up of normal folks. That is in itself, or should be, a genuine tribute. But in addition they deserve a great deal more than is often tendered by the disgruntled newspaper reading public, namely, that they are pretty intelligent. From the ever pertinent introductory remarks of the chairman to the last willing speaker on the program there came an unusual amount of wisdom not intertwined with humor and editorial nautos.
What was most encouraging to the embryo newspaper observer was the consideration given the younger members of the Kansas editorial ranks. The youthful editors of university

newspapers discover all too soon and all to their sorrow the little heed paid their serious thought by the groupson world. And so to find the editors of the veteran ranks sitting forward in their chairs to catch the import of the messages of their juniors is very stimulating.
Nor can it be said that newspaper men are not original, though it is true they often are criticized (seldom prianced) for passages of alleged fiction. While in the good old style of an early day the banquet was opened by an invocation it was quite uniquely accompanied by the strains of a jazz band nearby. So the sobering element was tempered with a bit of humor and in such vein the program progressed.
After all the life of a newspaper man is chiefly a mingling of the incongruous, a great deal of life with all its variations mediced into a brief space of time; in many ways a healthful tempering view for the student journalist to obtain.

Monotony of quarantine is not sufficient excuse in the Emporin Teachers' College for the celebration put on by women in the dormitory. They were having a glorious time one warm spring night when the cere-
many was broken up by school authorities. A factory of fire fackers was kicked down the dormitory steps, a barrage of tin cans was laid down in the halls, and the celebration culminated with the rendition of "The Prince's Song" from the coved bed-room of the principal. The celebration was the curing of six women from their jobs; however, belief is expressed that they will probably be rehabilitated soon.
