WEDNESDAY, MAY 4. 1927 IF THE SHOE FITS One of the tragedies of human nature is that the individuals at whom a general criticism is aimed never realize that it was for their benefit, while all the others begin to feel guilty and wonder when it was that they committed that particular error. It makes one long for a time when complete frankness will reign, when names can be mentioned in an open manner, and all hinting will forever be done away with. Results might be disastrous to the timid, but they could not hold but be eventually beneficial. At present we must content ourselves with hinting, at least in the editorial columns. Not long ago a great big bight was printed at several professors who habitually come to class late and keep their students five or ten minutes after the whale has blown, thus causing many to go late to their next class. No improvement has resulted from the printed suggestion that their classes begin and end on time. Yet that the guillain person takes offense at suggestions meant for other, has been recently demonstrated. The other day a well-known dean of a certain school, who has been late only about once this semester, and has never before kept his class after time, wished to complete an important statement after the whistle had blown. His explanation required about a half a minute, yet he prefaced his remarks by saying that he would keep us to hear the conclusion "at the risk of incurring the criticism of the Kansan editorial column." Perhaps a personel, individual letter would be more effective. It would at least be certain to reach the persons for whom it was intended, and would not offend those whom the shoes did not fit. National Guardmen in the flood area have adopted "We're in the Navy Now" as their official song. GUMMING THINGS Supposedly, one of the functions o a higher education is to make a person think before he acts and also to help him to pick up and adhere to a few principles of common courtesy and decency. Here on the campus a very vivid example of how these principles of education have failed to penetrate the consciousness of many individuals can be shown by the numerous gum deposits in public drinking fountains. If these individuals think for a minute that the fountains in the different buildings are gobboons they are mistaken. The fountains are placed there for the purpose of affording the students a sanitary place for getting a refreshing drink of cool water. To have to gaze at a domen or so lumps of well masculated Spearmint is anything but refreshing, let alone being sanitary. It takes only a moment to step out outside and toss your gum on the sidewalk where some luckless soul will step on it, or throw it on the green, or deposit it under one of the many available tables or chairs. These other convenient places of disposal should be carefully considered before such marks of illbedding are left about for public notice. A CAMPUS FLOOD FUND A goal of $10,000,000 has been set by the national Red Cross for the relief fund救助 for the sufferers in the Mississippi Valley. This is an average of approximately ten cents for every man, woman and child in the country. A ten-cent quota means that several hundred thousand persons will be saved from utter ruin. It means food for the starving, shelter for the homeless, medical attention for the sick and weary. It means rehabilitation of destroyed farms and towns. It means a partial restoration of the life-time savings for many. Four thousand students at the UM university have not been asked to contribute to the fund. Yet there is every reason why the institution should do its share in helping to alleviate the sufferings and privations of the homeless. An excellent opportunity presents itself for some of the leaders of campus organizations to outline a program for a local campanion. Certainly it would not be asking too much to appeal to each student and faculty member to give something, if not more than a few cents. We hear constantly about patriotism and about the necessity for protecting American people from their enemies. Now is an excellent time to put that test to a test. If the so-called loyalty and patriotism of university students mean anything more than abstract and vague terms, now is the time to demonstrate. The road to heaven is complete. Previously we have learned how to gain the skin you love to touch, how to remember, how not to offend the boss, and how to secure win, winger and winnery; and now a well-known cigarette manufacturer is showing us how to become opera singers. The University of Missouri expects to put its dating system upon a "Dutch Treat" basis, according to late reports. No doubt there'll be an increase in the enrollment of man students at Mizzou next year and a decrease in the number of women. --send them to Campus Opinion Editor, Daily Kansan: In an editorial printed in the Sunday Kanan, the writer lists democracy as a tradition of this campus. I am led to wonder if that person was trying to kid us, or himself, or perhaps he doesn't know any better. If we have democracy on this campus, then I wonder what we have back in the past. If we have a body is more or less on the same plane, though even there it isn't marked. Democracy as we usually think about it almost a minus quantity on the "Ill." For instance, the classroom. There a gentleman with a know-it-all air sits behind a pair of hornmitted spectacles and tells you that such and is the case and there can be no appeal from what he tells you. To question his authority is to leave a room where you cannot. The student must consistently kowtow to the professor to get a grade in the course. In the home life of many students we again have it absent. The sororities and fraternities have certain taboos that are rather undemocratic, No rehearsal tonight.
