There's no use to look for anything except a bunch of fool ideas. They may be bright, but, pahaw, they're impractical." This comment was recently overheard on the campus. It referred to the present editorial writing staff of the Kansas. It is frequently made by man in wider fields of activity. Then man assumes a holler than thou expression, sits back in his chair and lights his pipe. The funny part of it is that his wife agrees with him, and laughs when he repeats his story of teaching her how to drive the car, and tells Sommy to be a little man and draw Daddy's chair up to the fire and fetches the paper. But still the mess of women have a little bit the better in scholarship in the universities. Maybe they use the sex appeal. But still they're impractical. The mess of women have done a fairly good job of running government in two or three cities. Of course they're impractical. The practical things are spoils, rough streets, graft, intolerable industrial and living conditions and crime. The mess of women do a good job in getting married. They keep up with the latest styles, rouge their cheeks, powder their noses, wear skirts short enough to show dimple knees, show their efficiency in cooking by making fudge, play with the neighbor's small children, assume that "Oh you wonderful man" attitude, and in general make men feel that they are mighty enough to get the final "Yes" answer. And then they continue to allow men to think they're the whole cheese when there are new hats, fur coats or new dresses a stake. No, women are impractical. They get what they seek, and are mighty efficient in getting things done. But their methods are so impractical. "Now we men...” That gravel which was so helpful when the sidewalks were slippery a couple of weeks ago is rather hard on the nerves just now. The man who did the most of the work on the Liberty, Mo. jail was the first man to be put in it. Maybe he'll know better next time. A BOOM TO FORENSICS While the McNary-Huogen farm relief bill is being debated in the United States senate, students of the Universities of Kansas and Missouri are gathering material on the same subject, in order to debate it before the Kansas state legislature tomorrow evening. Students who enjoy trips will find a trip to Topeka for the debatte a valuable and interesting one. The question as the debaters will present it is "Resolved, that congress should enact legislation embodying the principles of the McNary-Haugen farm bill." These university debaters will probably present in a few hours the material that Congress has assembled over many months. Not only will the material be of educational value to those who have be watching the bill's progress in congress, but the debate itself should prove interesting as something new in the realm of forensics. This invitation to debate before the state legislators, with members of the Kansas supreme court acting as judges, and Governor Paulen as chairman of the debate, is almost a robule to the many students who are entirely oblivious of the excellent debating that takes place on our campus. It is an unusual recognition that it has been accorded our debaters, and one that gratifies everyone interested in the University, as well as those whose chief interest is the activities of a delegation team. It is predicted that the spring colors for men will be grey and tan. "Then it will follow as the night the day," the colors for women will be tan and grey. THE QUEST OF INTEGRITY Two hundred young American men took a foreign service examination in Washington, Jan. 11. Many of those who passed the examination sailed abroad the following week, one on his way to India, and today the two hundred are assembling again in Washington to take another examination. Why? Simply because one man has confessed to cheating. The confessor, Victor Miller, aged 39, had been clerk in the office of the assistant secretary of state, J. Butler Wright. Under pressure, he admitted having "rightly acquired the advance proof" and to having "copied therefrom the full approved text." It is not known how many of the young men were aided by Mr. Miller. By returning these young men to America, the government has had an enormous expense and the work of the American foreign service is temporarily hold up in many nations. But the American people will not怨 that the civil service commission insists upon finding men of integrity and efficiency to represent the American people on foreign shores, at any cost. Yes, yes, lie freshman, some day the clock on Blake hall and the whistle on the power plant are going to agree on what time it is. ASLEEP? OR NOT AWAKE? Few students actually sleep through all their classes, but many of us might as well, for we sit through them attempting to stow away enough of the instructor's knowledge to make a passing grade when we return it to him in a quit. The tendency to make knowledge an end rather than a means is probably unavoidable in any school, yet failure to consider the information gives in classrooms as a tool rather than a finished product is responsible for most of the loss of time in a university. We read books and listen to lectures with a feeling that when we have absorbed the books and the Christian Science Society of the University of Kansas will meet tonight, Tuesday, in Myers牢站 at 7:30.

BAND: MORE THAN SILENCE IS NEEDED SCHOLARSHIPS: The Lucinda Smith Bachan memorial scholarship, the loan scholarship of $100 for the second semester, is open to women of the junior and senior classes in the college. Applications will be received by the committee until March 1. Applicants may consult the chairman at room 204, Frasher hall. As it is, in this vital matter they have apparently proceeded on the assumption that the American people pick presidents, like juries, from men who have no opinions. An open andempty mind may be the reason why public officials are chosen, but it is never a contribution to the proper 'mentioning of a democracy. PROF. E. GALLOO, Chairman. The Community Cab will meet Wednesday, Feb. 9, at 7:30 p.m. J. CLIFFORD JONES, Secretary; Possible presidential candidates Smith and McAdoe by their own silence concerning the Nicaragua and Mexico inhugble have sacrificed an opportunity for an issue which if intelligently and consciously grasped, might have carried one of them to the White House. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB: Both of these men have been out-poken on other matters. If they wish to justify their candidacy for president of the United States it is time for them to acquaint themselves with American foreign relations. lectures we can be stamped "A. B, and turned loose on the world." In reality, if we are awake to our responsibilities, we must test every statement in book or lecture with the questions, "How does that conform to the world as I know it?" or "How will that be helpful to me in life?" To be sure, we cannot make a complete test. Much must be accepted in the faith that the instructor or the author knows the world better than we. Put in the final analysis each person's experience is the supreme text of knowledge, and each of us must do his own testing. With marines in Nicaragua and Chima, the recruiting officer's slogan will be, "Join the marines and see the revolutions." Editorials From Other Hills (Utah Chronicle, University of Utah) The debating season has opened with the annual rush of students lending their ears to the words of wisdom flowing from student orators. Recently, of the recent content indicate that at least thirty of them were present. Such a situation is the subject on much critical eviction on the part of the applicant and debaters, who point to the appeal for the applicant's pusit citizen and ask if "that" is to be the dictator of future policies and problems of life; "that", which is without interest in questions which involve any mental process or strain, or which divert the interest from parties, Fords and movies. Such a cr坠ism is, of course, valid. Most students are firmly planted in their resistance to knowledge. Their education, if any, must be painless, and can lay assimilated, to quote again from 1.coffees and disparaging colo- nies. And it is true that an ordinary debate is too rich a treat for them to enjoy. But, then, we must recognize the fact: The world is not run by mediocre men, he college-bred or not. The world is run by the one tenth of one per cent, who perceive the problems and effect their solutions, who, in a word, become debtors. Therefore, there is no reason to react to an unfamiliar set of the prohibition question, when his mind has long since been made up on the issue. If, however, topics of real moment were more frequently chosen, as for example, the fraternity-sorry issue, which is real and vital, and the animated spirit of a bull session injected into the discussion, there is no reason why students should not attune themselves to curiosity, if nothing else, and no reason why doctors should not assume a position of influence in college circles. All honor, then, to forensics. Special! An exquisite mouldy, molDED hardmilled for longwear-lath- ing apparel. Soothing. It's new. You'll.
