INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE THE ENGINEERS
Concerning the editorial in yesterday's Kansas entitled "Wanted: An Alibi" the Kansas has a few statements to make. In all justice to the School of Engineering, further enlightenment on the "apple" episode is not only fitting but obligatory. The Kansas committed an error in holding up one school to the riddle of the entire University when it appears that similar dichotomy was probably practiced in other buildings of the campus as well, but to a lesser extent. In all fairness, the official action of the School of Engineering in making up the deficit and expressing its regret at the occurrence, should have been mentioned.
Mean stories, however, travel faster than commendatory ones. The general consensus among students at the University was to the effect that it was only engineering students who took the money and few were aware of the fact that students of the School of Engineering held a mass meeting and did all in their power to right the wrong act which had been committed.
But although individuals of the School have tried to make the public aware of the action of the mass meeting, in fairness it must be said that there has been no official publicity given it, and the public may very naturally have labored under a misunderstanding.
The Kanana, however, is not attempting in any way to justify the style and tone in which yesterday's editorial was written nor to uphold the animosity which was subtly implied. To the extent that the Kanana has encouraged ill feeling and prejudice against the School of Engineering, retraction and apology are offered.
Representatives of the School of Engineering report that the eschearon has in reality done more toward bringing home to its students the necessity and desirability of a code of ethics and honor than anything else. That may very well be true, but the public, lacking knowledge of what had been done, drew its own conclusions. It is in this respect that the Kansan feels that the School of Engineering has erred.
In Peking thousands of infuriated Chinese laborers are besieging the British colony. The coolies are hot over something.
THE LIFTING OF THE ARMS
EMBARGO A STEP
TOWARD WAR
An administratively incurred state of war, if not already extant, will be the practical outcome of the lifting of the embargo on arms to Nicaragua, which has been the latest act in the intervention in Pan-American affairs by the State department.
Without the constitutionally required declaration by congress, this latest move is to all intent war against the Liberal government in Nicaragua, and more important, Mexico, since that government has officially recognized the Sacasa forces.
Vehement opposition on the part of Senator Borah and others in Congress, and the press, while focusing
public attention on the Pan-American relations, seems to have had no effect on the head-strong administrative policy, other than draw a sharp rebuke from President Coolidge for lack of unanimous support.
First, the United States department of state prematurely awarded a claimant to the presidency of the Nicaraguan republic, who had long been a puppet for American imperial interests. Unable to maintain his government, this claimant, Adolfo Díaz, appealed to the only authority which had recognized him, for protection. Marines were landed and the commander of the American fleet dispatched to Nicaragua waters ordered the opponents of the Díaz forces either to disarm or to leave their capital.
A temporary lull in this intervention was brought about by vehement protests throughout the United States, but the lifting of the arms embargo indicates that the administration will persist until it beings on war, if necessary.
If actual war should develop with Mexico—and a continuation of the present policy will mean that—we shall hear much of Mexican's ambition to rule the world, Mexican Kultur, and probably Mexican bolshievism, this time, instead of German Kaiserism.
It cost Kansas City $2.11 a minute to entertain Queen Marie. Many college students have entertained three queens and made money.

ALCOHOL TROUBLE
Many people were found dead after the New Year celebrations. The deaths were at once attributed to the drinking of government alcohol, and there was loud utter against the change in the government formula from two to four per cent wood alcohol. Many claim that this makes the alcohol deadly poison when used as a beverage.
All over the country the situation has aroused discussion. There are many views as to what steps the gov't errant will take. One plan that will probably be tried is that of changing the tastes of alcohol so that it will be undrinkable, instead of making it poisonous. But Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Saucony league, insists that the deaths were caused from over in dulgence rather than because the drink was poisoned. To back this statement he shows that a number of deaths occurred outside of New York, in such cities as San Francisco and Detroit, where the poisoned alcohol was not used.
Mr. Wheeler protests against the idea that four per cent alcohol is poison. In fact he claims that it is less dangerous than two per cent, for it neutralizes in part the poison effect of the other ingredients. He be lives that there are other ways in which the government can enforce prohibition without changing the formula for its alcohol.
In the next session of congress the alcohol problem will be brought to the front. Public health is at stake and the government will have to go to the bottom of the situation.
The government is seeking a non-
poisonous but unpalatable denaturant
for alcohol. Why not try the Law-
rence city water?
After a debate at Oxford, a defender of womankind received six proposals of marriage. How cruel and unappreciative—these women.

"Color," says Mrs. Dorothy Waddell Russell, who is in charge of room registration at the Y. W. C. A. of Kansas City, Mo., "may mean much or little to masculinity, but it means everything to feminine life." It is upon this theory that she relies in making room assignments.
BE SURE OF YOUR COLOR
The flapper must have as colorful a room as possible, while her heavier, fuller sister is assigned a duller and more dignified one. This plan sometimes fails but that produces no cause for worry because a complete mental transformation may be affected in a 'eew hours by simply changing rooms. The psychological effect of colors upon the mind has been known and applied by experts for some years, and it now remains but for the women of the country to adapt this theory in their house planning. Give up the prevalent period idea in houses and strive for a color effect which will achieve the most desirable mental tate.
Never mind the male members of he family since it probably doesn't affect them to a very large extent anyway. To make your house a model, psychologically speaking, have one larkly, or to dull green room, furnished larkly, to which you may go to calm yourself when your spirits are tight; one pink or golden yellow room where your spirits may be raised when they are low; one turquoise blue room, exquisitely furnished, in which poetry may be effectively read and one red owl, elaborately furnished, in which successful entertaining may be done.
We all regret the presence of disasters in our surrey, but when a group of engineers do this to an engineer did in this case, it is engineering. School deserves recognition.
Very sincerely yours,
E. B. Shultz,
General Secretary,
mitte to express regret to this organization which had trusted them with the loss, but the loss could have secured without its plicating students, but the engineers they assumed were responsible. They assumed the responsibility for the shortage, and in my opinion this should not have been a tribute favorable to humanity and to dishearten the students that any loss would have caused.
A shortage of about nine dollars each day at the C.A. apple store was met by the C.A. apples department of all concerned. The student of the school in a mass meeting collected a sum of money in excess of the amount required to cover the defect in the other school.
Campus Opinion
The engineers have not offered an offer to the students. The result of the students' action against any such shortcoming was even败局, and brought a contingent deal toward proactively a commitment.
Finally, the engineers wish to stake emphatically that the school stands for their home and will open properly, on account of the opportunity — A Committee of Engineers.
In view of the editorial which are peared in the Kanman last night, the engineers felt called on to make a proclamation for the institution offered.

Editor Daily Kansan:
The students of the Engineering School became so incensed over this experience that they requested a special Engineering School convocation and discussed the issue in detail. General disaffection was expressed and it was indicated to all present students that the disaffection evidenced in the test papers would be within the Engineering School and that the dishonesty evidenced in the test papers would be within the Engineering School. On their own initiative the students voted to make up the shortage of teachers.
Editor Daily Kanan
After reading the editorial in your newspaper, read after for January 6 entitled, "Wanted: An Albi," I am lessious of making the following request: you would publish it in your column: The Y. M. C. A. recently offered apples for sale at various places and honor basis, there occurred a disressing shortage in returns from apple sale at the School of Engineer-ing, where they were offered for sale there. At ten vents each, there should have been a stock of apples; the return should have been $22.90. The actual cash collected was $14.27, less than the cost and the amount between $7.73 and $12.13 occurred. Slight shortages, also occurred at prices that are fairly close to those who are concerned about the character product of our University. However, there is a brighter side to
