Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1897 TUESDAY, JANUARY 4. 1927 WHY "WILWAUKEE" In the matter of time "Millawance" is a thing of the past. Most of the 2000 students who met there last week to discuss the perplexing problems of modern civilization have again entered the maze of classes, studies, and school activities. But in the matter of effect and influence, "Milwaukee" is a thing of the present and the future. These students who have returned to the campuses carry with them new conceptions and strengthened convictions for those conceptions which they previously had. Regardless of the actual organized activity of the delegations or the lack of it, the influence of the conference will be felt through reactions of the individual delegate in their campus contacts. THE UNIVERSITY COMMONS It was a conference to bring the students of the nation together to discuss, with world leaders, modern problems. That purpose was realized when the delegates assembled for their first meeting. Whatever else was accomplished augmented this purpose. For several years the University has been blessed with a cafeteria where students may take their meals without leaving the Hill. Blessed though the University is, it continues to be cursed with the small variety of poor food offered and the high prices at the Commons. Eating at the Commons once a month is not so bad. But eating there every day is worse than—well, it's worse! The University Commutes, at the beginning of the new management, promised more and better food, a greater variety and reasonable prices. Granted that the food is slightly better than it was last year, the pity of all it is that the greater quantity has never gotten even so far as the kitchen of the Commons, the greater variety is never reached until the remaining scraps have been thrown into the garbage can, and the prices are reasonable only to those into whose pockets the money flows. Any hungry student with limited means would be more than delighted to pay eight centes for a silver of ham as big around as a ten cup, especially when that generous portion is largely fat and the meat is tough enough to what one's already too dull teeth. Other servings are equally as sati- factory. It is so considerate of the management to serve half a bowl of soap for ten cents—twice the价 se of soap last year when the bowls were filled three-numbers of the war. Potatoes are six cents. Matched potatoes are so manipulable, too. Of course no one cares for gravy, but in case he does, that is extra and one never learns that until he reaches the easter. Profit, of course, is desirable in any business undertaking, but full value makes more and better satisfied customers. And now that the new year has arrived, a good resolution for the Commons would be—well you might state it yourself, if you eat there. THE ROSE Let us not praise where praising were Under praise; we may come nigh, Withholding praise, to praise her. How praise the rose! Let praise go by: —Ralph Hodgson in Two Worlds Monthly. and hand it to the management. A public calling house ought not be adverse to receiving opinion of itself. If you are all delighted with the food at the Commons, the Kansan will be satisfied too and concede that its taste is bad and its conception of values distorted. THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO "See where America and Mexico had joint earthquake. That's the only thing I ever heard that we split 50-50 with Mexico. Lucky for Mexico that she didn't grab off more of the earthquake than we did, or have got a note from Kellogg."--Wil Rogers, in the Kansas City Times, Jan. 3. This statement in which he reviews events in his country and reiterates charges that Mexico has intervened in Nicaragua's affairs, declares, "The future of Nicaragua and eventually of all Central America is at stake in the present conflict between my government and the Calles government of Mexico." The Nicaraguan situation appears to be as muddied as ever; perhaps more so, now that Adolfo Diaz, president of the conservative government now in power, has issued a long statement addressed "to the American and foreign public." The United States, acting upon the invitation of the government in power, has recently landed marines in Nicaragua. The reason for such intervention is classified as "protection of American and foreign lives and property." Whether or not the United States is justified in this Central American intervention, is doubtful. The reason given is plausible, but the true cause seems to be a selfish, grieasseing one. A chance to oppose Mexico on another score has been given us, and the victor's prize is one worth working for, it would seem. NATIONALITY IN BOBS As Will Rogers recently observed, the joint earthquake of last week is the only thing which we have ever split 50-50 with Mexico. Our policy in the situation which has a risen in Nicaragua is but another instance of our desire to take the lion's share in all dealings in which Mexico is interested. THE CO-OPERATIVE BOOK STORE Nationality in bobs has been advocated by a leading Berlin daily "Down with the international bob; be every nation have its individual style of haircut" is the slogan being used by the newspaper which is publishing a series of cartoons depicting distinctive national bobs that might be adopted by women in various countries. Italian signoras, according to these cartoons, should shave the tops of their heads until they look like feminine Musolinis, while the French madames should copy the "modele Poincaré." Hindenburg cuts for German frans and MacDonald curls for British ladies are also suggested by the paper. No mention is made in the news dispatches to what form the American haircut should take. Coolidge, no doubt, would be the model. The question is, should the president's particular style be copied or should his particular political theory be portrayed. If the latter, the United States will probably become a nation of long haired women to exemplify economy in haircut. This University is contemplating a proposition, which, if it materializes, will be a long stride toward placing it in a class of other large universities which have been successful in operating co-operative enterprises. The proposition which is being considered, and which is being investigated by a well chosen committee, is the cooperative book store. The co-operative book store is found in many leading university such as Harvard, Indiana, Washington, Michigan and Wisconsin, and at each institution it has proved to be a successful enterprise. Although the University has been somewhat dilatious in bringing this question to a focus, it has now come to the realization that such an enterprise is of inestimable value to an institution of higher learning. A cooperative book store would be of great value not only to the students of the University, but to the faculty as well. The question of text books has long been a problem for the instructors and they will heartily welcome such a move to say nothing of the appreciation which will be voiced by the students who feel that the price of school supplies has for the past few years been excessive. Of course, the establishment of a co-operative book store is a great undertaking, and it is necessary that a great deal of time and thought be devoted to it. This time and thought, however, must result in action if the University is going to take its place among the more progressive institutions. Nothing can be accomplished by talking about it, but whatever action which is taken should be such that it will enlist the unanimous, whoobenthed support of the students and of the faculty. It is up to them to be ready to give this support when the time comes. --centers, than to be of at majority marcing away to military air and cheers.

Elder's Name: This is the first or series of reports to be published in the University Daily Kafka, written by delegates from the faculty and staff at Milwaukee last week. Conference Is Called "Red" That phrase, which often has been dereed upon the backpacker, had before the end of the five-day conference are quired all the meaning of a conviction College students today are more than disatisfied; they are in a stage of revolt—a revolt against age-encrusted thought-binding conventions and traditions. War; capitalism so highly expressed in this high-competition economy adds big business age; the Nordic plex; imperialism, no matter under what flag it may be waged—these are illustrative of the characteristics of a "civilization" upon which the youth at Milwaukee turned. "Pacific性," cried the newspapers, and for once they were not amiss. "Red," denounced an irate army colonel. Speakers like Kirby Pagel, editor of "The World Tomorrow" and Mordecai Johnson of Howard University "receive their salary direct from Moscow." The poor colonel, as well as the rainy-barrel he had reason to curb. The conference findings were pacifistic—and more astounding, decidedly socialistic. 327 "Never to Forget." Only 95 of all that group of students offered themselves as a "cannon fodder" for any war in which the United States demand their participation. In direct question, 327 declared their pledge never to participate in or support any war in any way, while 740 took the slightly safer and more general ground of "participating in some wars, but not others." Three hundred and fifty-six were non-committal. How else is the student attitude—as expressed in the “findings,” under three different classifications; war, capitalism, and racial discrimination—to be accounted for? Certainly not through emotional appeal of conference speakers, for the few speakers who called forth habituated emotional responses treated not of these dangerous controversial topics but confined themselves to more abstract and theatres than themes. And even their appeals were less effective. Intelligence, Perhaps these liberal, if not radical, expressions may be traced to the disconcerting suspicion that students may be thinking. 327 "Never to Fight" It has been suggested that the 327 absolute pachyfits might have been determined never to fight. Instead, it is aware that non-participation prohibited even the purchase of war-saving stamps or bonds, and that far more people must part to be of a minority facing prison bars and the vulturing of 100 per They Decide Not to Resolve Every bit as disconcerting to those of the army colon temperament, was the societal tendency elicited in the "finding" treating of the present ecology by the former. The pressure of onion was provided for and the students were permitted to vote for one or more. The first, "Although recognizing certain evils in the present capitalistic system, I beware of any person who declares of Jesus," murmured only 28 votes. They decide Not to resist. This method of alternative expressions of opinion, allowing various options, was the first indication, was chosen after results condemned as crises in themselves and unfair to dissenting minorities. Capitalism "Cochratic" Capitalism Unfortunate The alternative most directly appeases opioid users, system of production for profit rather than use is wrong," drew the overwhelming appraisal of 800 students. The organized labor movement was indoors and encouraged by 385 of the delegates. As a substitute to the present competitive system, 562 students 592 operative distribution order, profit sharing in nature, fifty-seven, while differing with communism in its methods, believed its aims in accordance with the principles of Jesus. A sixth refuge, for those who were not involved in the conflict, existed. The fact that throughout the conference, the pure Nordic American students sat side by side with nongraduates and students from India, China, Japan, Korea, Hawaii, the Philippines Islands, Mexico, Romania, Germany, Switzerland and Finland, with them, and bionted in foreign languages are speakers indicated their liberty in regard to race relations. A vote in which the students declared their belief that members of foreign races were entitled to the same privileges which they enjoyed was so more unnatural. The next alternative "believing that certain races are inferior, I am in favor of keeping them in place," was informed only by 11. Six hundred and quality one were willing to extend to certain races on the campus every right they held. The fourth alternative for those who were not ready to commit themselves was chosen by 25 students. Social Relations Stressed No pretense of being representative of American students in general was made by the conference delegates. They made no claim of being the "finding" report, they expressed plainly their realization that to all intent they constituted a minority, Primarily they represented university Christian organizations, and the conference theme was "What Resources Has Jesus for Life in This World?" Whenever someone somewhat religious in character makes a strong impression on it easy. The theology which has so long dominated Christianity was not a genesis which, even though not being war and were not likely to soon form unpopular but almost universally negligible as a determinant in student behavior. Its place was taken by a consideration of the principles of a monastic life as an individualistic retreat or as an opiate "satirist" and comforter, so characteristic of a laissez faire civilization, "Intellectual monasticism is a medieval atrianism," said Reinhold Nielsch. In short, application of this concept than Belief, was the conference tone.
