Dale Business Office K, D. 66 News Room K, U. 25 Published in the afternoon, five times week and on Sunday morning by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Kansas, from the Press of the Department Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1957, at the post office at Lawrence Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1957. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 2. 1927 TIME There are a few instructors on th Hill who need a reference to call him for them when a class is over. They sit placidly in their chairs, lecturing on, disregarding the warning of the whistle, the shuffle of feet in the hall as other students go to their classes and the fact that they are infringing upon the rights of every student in the room. In the meantime, the victims alip to the edge of their chairs, politely put on coats, scarfs and gloves and eagerly wait for that phrase, "You are dismised." Students hour little, if any of the lecture that an instructor thrusts upon them after the whistle has blown. So the instructor gains nothing, is robing the student of the allotted time between classes and is probably causing him to be late in another instructor's class. If ten minutes were not a reasonable time to allow between classes, it would not have been accepted by the University senate. Of course the instructor has the last word, that of handing in the grade, so students are at his mercy, but he hardly commands the respect of his students when he does a thing of that sort, and it is just as easy for him to acquire the habit of punctuality as for his students, from whom he expects it. WHAT? IF NOT THE Y. M. C. A., WHAT? Among the maze of organizations that permeate the Hill there is probably more that attempts such a constructive program and receives so much criticism in its attempts as the Y, M, C, A. There are two general groups that attack this organization. First there are the conservatives, who claim that the Y. M. C. A. is too radical. Their main objections are that association is leading students astray from the common groove of thought. The other group consists of those who believe that the Y, M, C, A. is not radical enough. They censure the religious phase of it. To be Christian is old-fashioned, they say. The Y. M. C. A. has a ready answer for the first group. Students are at the University to do some thinking, and if this organization can stimulate a critical attitude, it is performing a useful function. That it has accomplished this is certain. Its list of speakers, including Arthur E. Morgan, Norman Thomas, Kenneth Lindsay, Thomas Quar Harrison and Rabbi Henry J. Birkwitz, is conclusive evidence. To the cynics of the anti-religious group no answer that the Y. M. C. A. could make would be satisfactory. But nothing in, so there is no need to consider them. The others who are not in sympathy with the religious phase deserve some comment. The answer to them is that the Christian organization is the only one that has effectively forwarded a critical attitude toward life on the campus. Whether it is on account of or in spite of its Christianity they are浊 to determine. But undisobediently it is the religious ideal that spurs some of the workers to their efforts. Many of the o-called agnostics have recognized this fact and are working just as energetically as their more religious friends. There are a few who still associate he college Y, M. C, A, with the large financial institutions that are active in the city. Anyone acquainted with the University organization soon realizes that the two branches are entirely different. Of course the Y, M. C, A. makes mistakes. Any organization that attempts to cover as large a field as the University Christian organization is certain to obtain speakers who fail to meet the requirements. It is certain to obscify many of its adherents. But taking its general program into consideration, the Y, M, C, A, is filling a need that otherwise might go unfilled. Without this organization there might be another which would attempt to take its place, but its effectiveness would be problematical. Admiral Latimer is not in Niceau-taid to aid the Conservative government. He is there to protect American lives and property. He has promulgated a rule prohibiting fighting within 2,000 yards of any place where marines are stationed. The Conservatives think it is a game of tag and stay within the 2,000 yard limit, believing that zone is king's ex. FORGOTTEN KISSES It won't be long now until Congress and state legislatures will be homeward bound, leaving the country to it fate until they meet again. In the interim, however, congressmen and legislators will be busy. There are political forces to wage war. Traves are private leaders to mean凯 "ayees" and "enny" to be explained to them. Fortune ideals are the people's choice, who need not worry over re-election, among them our Senators Carper and Curtis, Carraway and Robinson of Arkansas, Jim Reed of Missouri, and various other notables. Borah says he is going to Nicaugu; and there will be things to investigate, though not so many, this line as inte. There will be speeches to be mands, cornerstones to be laid, mouldings to be dedicated and hands to be shaken. But here is the point we were getting at: There will not be abies to be kissed. In former days, rule number one in the politician's hand book war as follows: Kiss the baby. It will please the mother and she "quotes" her man. Present-day politicians have discarded this time-honored rule. They know that a baby-kisses wouldn't get enough votes to make a scratch pad for an infant amoeba. Modern man's don't want their offspring flirting with gerny kisses, even if they are nice congressman germs. The mothers are glad, the congress men are glad and the babies are howling with glee. NAUTICAL CO-EDUCATION That time is not yet ripe for coeducation on the high seas is the opinion of Henry J. Allen, after accompanying the "Floating University" nearly two-thirds of the way around the world. "The presence of campanionable young women distracts the young men from their studies to a disturbing extent," says our former governor. We could have told him that long ago. Mr. Allen seems to be particularly concerned with the welfare of the helpless young men, and rightly so; for man must of necessity be on the defensive, he must always guard against the alluring ways of woman or he will soon find himself helplessly in her toils. "Contingency of youths of both sexes started many courtships of varying degrees of intensity," says Mr. Allen. So it has been since time immemorial, and it will probably so always continue to be. It is one of the weaknesses of human nature to which we have yielded so long that it is now doubtful if we can ever recover, and we will all agree that it has a disturbing influence on most of the processes of learning. It seems also that the residents of foreign ports have been inclined to get worked up over the idea. They have not reached the American ideas on the emancipation of women according to Mr. Allen, and hardly know what OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. VIII.

However we feel but danger to the feelings of policemen, we must admire his had he done thuds and so—" For they remember, "Judge not, best ye be Judged." A man who recently underwent a very trying experience and who was faced with a problem which required hair-molar salivating, tells us that he will never again be guilty of condemning a fallen brother. "Man silve!" he said, "nobody can tell what he will do under given circumstances until he is faced with a ticklish problem and has to decide in a hurry. Any can stay straight if he never has any temptations, but even the best of us take a tumble if the temptation is the right one." ON MORALIZING Man is prose to moralize. Half the fun in life is in commenting on the mistakes of the other fellow. We like to point out wherein he erred, and we usually wind up with, "Now if I had been doing it—" It is worthy of notice that those who themselves have come through the fires of temptation unscathed are always slow to point to a brother, fallen by the wayside, and say "Now," After the whole episode is over and the facts are known it is easy to see where our brother or sister made a barehead play. But when the problem confronted him, with all its complexity, who can say what he would have done under similar circumstances? We condemn with a self-righteous air, moralize a bit, and go our way rejoicing. ENGLISH AS SHE IS WROTE N THE KANSAS CITY STAR "There is no doubt the little woman from Okmulegw, wife of a physician, mother of two sons of high school age, housekeeper and devout to her home and church ties, is the central figure in the old turn of events at the Oklahoma capitain since Governor Johnston was inaugurated only a few weeks ago. The forces that have been moving to bring about this culmination of events are indeed interesting, although quite human." Editorials From Other Hills XX A CORRECTION "Starbeans" recently cracked a quote about the exclusion of girls from the University Affloat from The Emoria Gazette, but credit it to The University Kansan. E. E. Kelley, who conducts this admirable "Starbeans" co-every morning in the Journal, would give credit when credit is due. AND THE STAR'S REPLY It appears that this department recently credited an able editorial to the University, and it has been credited to the Emporia Gazette. That's what happens to papers which display such uniform, not to say identical excellence as that of the Kansan and the Emporia Gazette. Recently the Gazette reprinted an obviously feminine editorial from The University Kansan, with the added A PROTEST X X We- have it! You have always wanted a fountain pen with a flexible point.
