A STUDENT LABOR UNION
Unduly low wages for hours of labor, which because of their length constitute a serious handicap to a full and efficient university life, present a problem which student workers must sooner or later face.
According to the employment bureau of the Y. M. C. A. there are almost twice as many applicants for jobs as there are jobs to be filled. This makes it possible for local employees to pay minerily low wages, and the students can't protest for it is imperative that many work, even if underpaid, if they are to remain in college.
No immediate solution for this circumstance is seen. Yet it is obvious that, with the overupply of available labor, individual bargaining will be of no avail. Higher wages, which would make it unnecessary for students to work long hours and hence permit more to be employed, can be obtained only through concerted action on the part of student workers—which means a student labor union.
It is unessential that the organization be called a union, but that is what it must be. The difficulty is to convince student workers that they must organize. The "unmorable fact" stands out that they are inherently a part of a bourgeoisie which considers labor mental, and labor organizations symptomatic of bourgeism.
THE BUILDING PROGRAM
Will they, supposedly educated, be able to break away from class prejudice when it is to their common good?
Chancellor Lindley is to be commended on his proposal for a ten-year building program. Too long the University has been existing in cramped and crowded conditions. Too long have students been attending classes in a condensed building.
Crops may fail, war may come and go, and still the sons and daughters of the sun-flower state must be educated. A building program begun six years ago was halted by a business depression, but now again, the University will press on in an attempt to secure adequate room for the ever-growing numbers of students.
A group of prominent alumni will confer with the chancellor, here to tomorrow, on this and other important phases of University questions, and it is to be hoped that their influence with the legislature will be sufficient to help round out and complete this building program.
WANTED: AN ALIBI
One aibi is as good as another, as the engineers have developed several as far as the disappearance of the money from the apple box is concerned.
Some of them say that they did not know how much the apples were and took them as a gift from the Y, M, C, A, to keep the doctor away.
Others frankly admit that they do not believe in Y. M. C. A, conferences and took the money to keep the Kansas delegates from attending.
The innocent ones believe the stories told by other engineers to the effect that the lawyers made a visit to
NIGHTMARE
I ride the great black horses of my heart.
With reins of steel across their flying hair;
So slow are they to halt, so swift to
The stormy-breasted stallions of den emir.
Dark on the night, and freetful on the
air.
Flecter, than hounds that go with helfies thinned—
My sisters of all their strength have
come to watch
When those black hunters lean upon the wind.
What if the sudden thunder of their feet
Wakes like a dream some farmer from his rest?
Dreams had I too, farmer, before these fleet
Dreams had I too, farmer, before these fleet
Steeds of night were broken from their west.
Sleep, brother, sleep; I bring my
horse home.
the engineering building, confiscated the money and put it in the money box in the law building.
Their weary flanks are green and white with foam;
-Robert Nathan in Harpers
Nevertheless the fact remains that the money disappeared from the money box or else was never put there. One might say that it was a rather embarrassing situation for the engineers, to say the least, but perhaps they will be able to explain things as well as a lawmaker could under the same circumstances. If they don't say something and say it well one wonders about the honor system to be established in that school.
One could hardly doubt but that it would work if it were put in by the engineers. But one wonders if they will make it retroactive. Perhaps they can attribute the entire escape to a childish instinct to play pranks and explain that such an offense has no bearing on the more serious aspects of honor. Or perhaps they will offer it as a reason why they need an honor system.

SWEET REVENGE!
How your head in shame, America! You have been branded before the world as a producer of dances so indecent as to have been banned by "Red" Russia. The soviet supreme council for physical education at Moscow has forbidden the proletarian youth of that country to dance the American fox trot, shimmy and Charleston.
Doctor Semakshu, commissar of health, denounced the dances as "indecent products of the fat American bourgeoisie." Young Russians must drop those dances of wreckless abandon and return to the stalid and digitized dances of their own country under threat of punishment.
Now that we have been properly squached by Russia, what can we do to regain our prestige? Should we recognize Russia or should we reform our dances? To adopt the first method would not be difficult—merely a little governmental formality. The second one would involve a butchering of the favorite sport of the entire nation, to which they never would consent.
Football has passed for the time being and all eyes are turned once again to the game of basketball. The season is just starting; as a result, sport pages are filled with gossip and each one has predicted the outcome for different teams during the season.
But if this matter is such an important one, something must be done to obliterate the disgrace. If our dances are too wild for the conservative Russians, what must they be for ourselves? We must get back where the Russians will associate with us!
BASKETBALL
The Kansas team has been the leader of the court game for a number of years. The team this year is said to be stronger than ever. Already it has won two games and its backers are saying it will be undefeated. That assumption is hard on the team. If they slip just once or win by a small margin the "wolves"

Notes From the Conference
at Milwaukee
BY JOHN SUNLEY
"It is only when youth itself is "assured that it will enjoy intellectual freedom on its college campuses, that the demand for better instruction will be met. The internal and external powers that control what students do and say are there because of the inertia of students themselves."
While education was not the main theme of the Milwaukee conference, yet the delegates were applying what they learned to their campuses, and how they were using their ideals. They ran up against the obstacles of ownership of what they
He further charged in the handbills that puffist speakers were carefully choosed away from the university by the president and the head of the local R, O, T, C.
Professor Joeen's courage in this day of松梅-steeping was so during that it is not likely that he will lose his position. Any disciplinary action on the part of the university authorities now would only be proof of his charges—that freedom of speech and press in American universities is frequently denied.

when the university authorities, according to his belief, abridged the freedom of the daily student newspaper by censoring it from all material unfavorable to compulsory military training, which exists at that institution. Professor Jensson published and distributed handbills or the encyclopedia challenging the administration with undue censorship.
TO A COURAGEOUS PROFESSOR

do and say, against the inertion of fellow students provoked by indifferent and had teaching. They constantly found the ideals of the conferences and the realities of their campuses bumping against each other with themselves in between, not knowing which of them were to Prof. George A. C. Colum of California true, that their greatest enemy was the inertion of their fellow students,
The students at Milwaukee decided that the over-emphasis of athletics on college campuses was an offense. The college work is not made interesting enough for the students, so he works in athletics, social life, and activity.
Delegates Called Fools Delegates are already beginning to realize what Mordecai Johnson and Katie Gorsey had done here. Here in Kansas, an instructor, in commenting on the findings of the conference, said that the 257 delegates who voted not to take part in any war were "foolish" in their action, and the only one which would be relied upon a crisis broke out. He cited a far-fetched supposition that if a million were to take such an action, civil war would break out when the government was so preoccupied with the choice of joining the ranks or being shot down", a war which would deforest the purpose. He utterly failed to realize that those who voted had taken their decision, and that few if any voted happily.

As fools these delegates are firing themselves part of decided minorities, which in many places have no right to self-expression, and in other cases only limited means of opinion. They are finding that the name 'fool' can suppress and rid cullet the same, who Christ form 2000 years ago.
At Milwaukee the delegates decided that poor teaching was prevalent among their students. Reasons that they found were, the Ph D. manna, the choice of instructors or their ability for research rather than on the ability to teach, and the clinical experience.

garchy. The conference overwhelmingly turned down communism, even when it was divorced from Russia, and the socialism many of the delegates indulged was a mild form, ceremonial. Furthermore, students of society generally do not distinguish socialism by its despotism or lack of democracy. College requirements, the pro and con of a degree were also brought up in our study. It was found that knowledge on sex was still little greater to the average student than that of the middle ages, when it was considered a sin. Minority opinion in college classes was suppressed to a surprising degree.
The students took time to consider the phases of their campus lives, for they realized that they had to face these problems. Small wonder, then, it is, at that the close of the conference the delegates almost unanimously adopted the resolution that colleges and universities provide better opportunities to learn concerning war, in particular, and give opportunities be given to hear on campuses minority opinions through speakers.
