Debate Held Last Night Was First on K.U. Problems
Negative Wins on Question of Abolition of Dove; Audience Votes 45 to 35
The first debate ever held on campus problems at the University went on last night much as first things are wont to do. The question as stated was, "Resolved: That the Dove should be abolished," but it was found that there was difficulty in defining what the Dove was, and whether its connotations were universal, hundred per cent American or were more radicals, babelskives, or just mere students who "get a wild hair" at most inappropriate times.
It was considered by critics as one of the best shows that has come to the campus for some time. The speakers even received encores after each performance. The humourous part of the program was furnished by six sides, each with a long twisted and saying things in a funny way gave rise to mirr.
Childs Was First Speaker
Ralph Childs, chld., the 28 first speaker for the debate in 1987, fact that the Dove was going under the heading of liberal journal of campus opinion. "It is supposed to be an expression of honest opinions, but only covers three phases of what I call the institutionalization, with occasionally an article concerning the Negro or Jew. It is a magazine of destructive criticism and is not campus opinion." Childs allowed enough room for his ideas to be picked on in the cross examination.
Louis Greenberg, 127, first speaker for the negative, contended, "the individual has a right to speak forth his opinion, and has the right to speak forth what he does. Do we so minded as is my right to speak from this platform."
"Dove Not Ethical"
Charles F., Scott, Jr., *c*29, for the affirmative, contended that the Dove was not ethical and that the campus was not a place to centered on the publication. Scott read extracts from several Dove articles and characterized them as "grossly inaccurate and ignorant." The language used in the pink publication.
FOUR PAGES
Personal Element Bordered
Frank Glick, e28, for the negative, said "the hoped Scott has not read the Sour Owl, if he considered the Dove to be a drew the best laugh of the evening.
Personal Element Borrowed
The cross examination at times at most bordered on the personal, and it was with difficulty that Charles Embrez, Paul Fouler, c'28, were to preserve their dignity, when upon asking questions, the questions were either evaded or answered sarcastically.
Embrey was disturbed because the Dove had refused to have their business audited as is the custom with all other campus publications. Porter replied that "a certain member on the student council was worried by the fact that the Dove was appearing on election day, that that member was afraid his chances for political fame might be endangered, so he brought up the cry for Dove the Dove the Dove came out." From that time on Embrey brought in an effort to clear his point.
"Dove Gives Bad Impression"
The men uphold the Dove pointed out that the Dove was now named a journal of liberal discussion rather than of campus opinion. Porter said, "these men uphold the Dove tonight are no more for people than the Dove than people are for their ancestors." This remark seemed to be direct toward Childs on the affirmative.
In summing up the whole affair it seems that the arguments for the Dove contended that its articles were printed on paper and that the authors against the Dove contended that the articles printed in the pamphlet were distasteful, and created poor impression by citizenship within the state.
By a vote of the audience the negative side was considered the winner 45 to 35.
Dr. Celia D. Meher, associate professor of personal hygiene at Stanford University, has found by a survey that she has just completed that the height of the average woman is an inch more than it was 39 years ago.

Scooters heads to the Department. A committee headed by Dean Frank A. Committee member was appointed some time ago to consider the matter of field trips, matinee concerts and other interruptions of class work reported that in the judgment of the committee trips are very desirable in some courses and worth the time they consume. The committee pointed out that field trips are customary in other institutions and gave the opinion that, since it would afford to travel on regular rules and regulations governing such matters, it would be best to leave them to the discretion of the chancellor and the departments concerned.
Stockton Heads Committee
Action on the matter was deferred until the next regular meeting of the senate. However, the committee recommended strongly that no student be required to take trips if they interfere seriously with other work or if he feels that he is financially unable. In such a case, the instructor should make it possible for students to substitute other work for field trips.

Burdick Delivers Lecture on Law as a Life Work
Price-President's Talk Was Included in Vocational Speeches for This Year
"The practice of the law is a great and noble profession, a peace maker in every sense and not the source of strife and conflict as it is often perceived. The professor of law and vice president of the University last night. Doctor Burdick made the statement in closing his lecture, "The Law as a Vocation," last night in the seventh of a series of prominent men. Doctor Burdick took as his text the saying of a Yankee farmer whose boy wanted to be a lawyer; "It takes a long time for study and a lot of money and a long time of money." The profession is overroced; the lawyer doesn't receive as much as the average farmer or business man; you can't be a successful lawyer and an honest man, and finally, you haven't got the tools necessary, the resources, the awareness and common sense."
In taking up the objections of the Yankee farmer Doctor Burdick said, "It is admitted that at best a full college course and then three years in a good law school is essential for a good lawyer. Then probably as many as five years must be spent working up a practice. The profession is overcrowded now as it always has been, but there is a good lawyer. One-third of all the lawyers could be done away with and we would feel no loss. The average ratio of lawyers and the people of Kansas is one to 1,000, whereas in Kansas City there is one lawyer to every 250 persons, a ratio which shows the greatest concentration of lawyers in any city of the States. The difference doesn't exceed $2,000 or $3,000 a year, not including the 20 per cent who do not make enough for a bare existence."
Burdick Denies Statement
To answer the statement that one cannot be an honest man and a lawyer Doctor Burdick said; "Ussatisfied and disappointed clients are the ones who defame the characters of lawyers and in reality the average lawyer is as honest as his fellow professional men. One is admitted that un- one is cut out to be a lawyer and has the necessary gummation one should never attempt to study law for practice."
Honor Visiting Mothers
Doctor Burdick said that anyone thinking of being a lawyer should first ask himself whether he is any needy, what kind of work is necessary qualities for a lawyer: More than average mental ability, good common sense, a knowledge of human nature, grit, a will to work and the desire of purpose, or a good character.

Roy Wilkins Gives Talks Pertaining to Race Problems
Kansas City Call Co-Editor Discusses Journalism of Negro Press in Classes
Roy Wilkins, co-editor of the Kansas City Call, a Negro publication, graduate of the University of Minnesota and an authority on racial problems, addressed two groups of University students yesterday. He talked to the class of Comparative Journalism about the characteristics of the Negro press and to a group of fifteen Negro and white students, which he attended at the inter-racial commission of the Y, W, C, A, and Y, M, C, A., about factors in better race understanding and cooperation.
In his address to the journalism class Wilkins traced the Negro press from the time of its founding in 1827 to the present day press. The first chapter, "The Negro Press Journal," dealt largely with problems of slavery. "The Negro paper" Wilkins said, "was born and bred in agitation and it flourished because of a dire need of a people for men to feed them." He concludes that deals and aspirations.
The Negro newspaper contains every feature that any other newspaper has, however it especially plays up racial injustices and indignities toward the Negro by other races: segregation and oppression. "Negro Journalism has its Denver Post, Chicago Tribunes and Portland Oregon" and "will William who and amies of Negro publications to illustrate his talk."
The editorial policies of Negro journalism, are divided into two classes: criticism of the white race for the wrongs to the Negro and criticism of the Negro race for its lack of solidity. "Negro welfare for whites" is criticized before it can progress," said Wilkins in the conclusion of his talk.
Negro Cries Help for Others
In his address to the mixed multicultural community of Understanding and Co-operation* Mr. Wilkins dealt with the responsibilities of members of both races in bringing about better understanding and co-operation between the races. He also touched on the responsibilities of the Negroes who are privileged to receive college training toward the others of their race who have had inferior opportunities for advancement. He urged that the Negro community should help civilization for himself above but should help others to do so.
Mr. Wilkins also pointed out that the educated and socially trained Negroes should consciously strive to counterbalance the impressions of their race given by the ignorant means not had the advantage of education.
Good Will Beil in Respect
"lasting good will between races," the speaker says, "and after never upon fear of what the other fellow is going to do."
The speaker next tailed briefly about the responsibilities of the white Americans. He pointed out that the two greatest needs were, first—to practice the brotherhood of man doctrine which has been preached for so long as white Christianity and second—to realize that there has been a racial development since the "anti-Christian" race in America, race and that there is a new Negro who is thinking about and understanding such problems as the Chinese, the Nicaraguan, the Mississippi flood, and those of education and industry which are of interest to each citizen of the United States.
