THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1927 SURPRISES IN STORE FOR US Seeing the world with the eyes of a student is far different from seeing it as a Tired Business Man, so our elders gently inform us. We who have grated on the sword of rightness during our four—or six—years in college with the avowed purpose of making the world a better place in which to live are in for a severe jail, they say. After a few months or years of ardent crusading, we are warned that our arder will cool and that we will also settle down to become Tired Business Men. The present social and economic system is inevitable, so our friends say, and the course we would ourselves to our fate the better the world and the other T. B. M.'s will be. How do these prophets arrive at such conclusions? we are forced to inquire. The answer is simple: They have merely observed what has happened to others of our kind. The same story is re- enacted decade after decade. Youthful warriors who set out to correct apparent injunctions so shed their armor for the easier life. "Nothing to me is so pathetic," said Norman Thomas recently, "as to see college graduates give up the struggle against what they believe to be fundamentally wrong after a short and fruitless fight." Hundreds of students are asking these questions. They see themselves drawn into the current of opportunism almost without their consent. A few survive, perhaps, but in the end most of them dash their brains out against the stone wall of American materialism. The facts again lend one to inquisitive Are the college and universities grinding out citizens whose ideals are so Utopian that they can never be put into effect in this man-made world? Are the "raw" products of universities misfits that have to be modeled and changed to suit the demands of the existing system? Does college training prepare one admirably for a life of disappointment? ON RADICALS Ever disasatisfied with things as they are, ever advocating change, there is your true radical. He has his opinions, his plans and his reformos, and like William Lloyd Garrison he "will be heard!" He be socialist, eugenist, labor and vocate or what not, the radical I always in advance of his time. The changes he urges are lunged as cursed, listed to with cynicism and sometimes finally adopted. Those of us who are rock-cabed conservatives are shocked and horrified by the criticisms and proposals of the radical. We refuse even to listen. Those of us of more liberal tendencies are prone to say, "Oh, I'm broad minded enough to listen and not be shocked, but it work well." Familiarity, however, breeds can tempt or lack of fear. An time go on the scheme which our radical first proposed finds more and more advocates for its cause. Its chronological history is something like this: The radical proposes it; the very liberalises exposure it; the fairly liberalises exposure it; the mildly liberalizes take to it; the mildly conservatives discover it, and finally the rock-ribbed conservatives give it a new name and claim it for their own discovery. And where is our radical by this time? Why isn't he present to claim his own and receive the olive wreath as the victor? Why is he not on the platform to receive the plaudits of the multitude, to hear cheerers where once were only sneezes and curses? Ah, our radical has moved on. As he saw his plan slowly coming into acceptance he knew that his work was finished. He moved on to a new plan, a new scheme, a new proposal some twenty years in advance of his time, and again is receiving the sneers, the jeers and the jibes of the scoffers. THE SOCIALIST AND HIS MILLIONS At last a real, honest-to-goodness, dried-in-the-wool socialist has had chances to do something about his beliefs besides them from a soap box. A. Josepho, the Russian who invented the rapid, automatic camera recently, has taken his million dollars and now proposes to divide it among friends, in the true socialistic—or is it communical?—spirit. In these times when tenacity to one's faith, no matter what may be that faith, is rarely found, it is indeed interesting to find a man who clings to his theories, even when he need no longer do so. Of course, the question may be raised whether or not Mr. Joseph's disposal of his new fortune is best; some may even argue that he could probably have done more real good to society than by making unnecessary gifts to those who have in no way earned them. Logical as some of these arguments may be in such a situation, they beg the question in this case. The point here is that we have a man who considered his deocrines applicable under any circumstances, even when he had the best provocation in the world to change them. SPRING'S VAGRANCIES A host of golden daff—no, just three daffflies which had responded to the urgent whisperings of spring sunshine, were swaying bravely, but dissociated in the chill wind damp. They had no protective house or sheltering force toward which to lean, but bent from the unharmed breeze. Not hundreds, as on the last warm day, but only two women students whose units had the novelty of newness braved the lowering sky to the Hill yesterday. One was even so trustful that those clouds meant merely temporary morning mist that she did not wear a hat (there must have been a natural curl in her hair). Even before they reached the library the clouds broke—to release the downpour. College women do not survive rain storms as well as daffodils. Throughout all generations there have been wars, wars, wars! And now this country aside from its foreign relations is threatened with another, a new and different one. As is usually the case, it is to be a war for supremacy. THIS TIME—AN AUTOMOBILE WAR This new war will not be characterized by the customary machine guns, brassel and poisonous gasses. In tind, minds of men who have been able to collect millions will be matched against one another. Ford, Durant and the General Motors company are each striving to gain the supremacy of the small motor car field. The General Motors company has been trying for some time to put Mr. Ford out of business, and now Mr. Durant has startlingly announced that he will try to put the General Motors company out of business. This, it seems, is becoming an age of monopoly. A man is not satisfied until he controls the fields of business in which he is entered. Mr. Durant is willing to put all or at least most of his money into his new project, but it is a gamble. The result may be that a lot of this country's money which is now in the hands of a few individuals may be turned back to the people who work hardest for it. The motor car market is flooded al ready.

Families that can not afford to buy homes have their cars. The next step of the motor car manufacturers will be to sell two cars to a family. One wonders how the inevitable traffic problem will be solved. HOWARD O. DEAY, Secretary. Campus Opinion The pitfalls of the plan are not obvious, and a smooth plan to rule the scheme into effect through a month will accordingly not disclare all. Editor Daily Kansan: Naturally a student bookstore impaired students with government participation, financing to students through supposedly lower prices for text books and supplies, or providing even hope to offer. But, not so co-operative store c. profit making. The average student takes to the idea of a cooperative book store like Walmart, but not a traditional bookstore. It sounds too good to be true. On the surface it is true, but few know what it means. that is to be known about the plan Experiences of schools that have tried the co-operative plan are not all happy to relate. Before a student decides to accept the co-op plan he should learn the requirements of the question should be studied, Government depends on public opinion and there cannot be public opinion before you decide on the question. Therefore, before you decide to vote yes on the referendum, be sure you can answer the following questions: 1. Is the plan only a political vote catcher? 2. Where has the plan worked satisfactorily? what the plan worked successfully? How many ventures have failed? What are the inscapitation plans? What will saving the plan actually provide? Will your student be required to own stock in the store? What profit will the store probably make? Will it have competition? Yours for an intelligent vote, A Student --one for engineers and one for nontechnical students, are planned. The training will include supervised employment with the city of Cincinnati as well as college classes, covering a variety of courses. The month being spent in city service. The students, during this period will earn between $7000 and $1500. The University of Cincinnati will offer courses in Training for Public Services next year to an internship program and is also trained for this work.
