TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1926 WHAT IS SCHOOL SPIRIT? WHAT IS SCHOOL SPIRIT? Despite opposition to the contrary published in the Sunny Star, the University still believes that there is a place for school spirit. But what shall this school spirit be? Shall it be represented by the cheap vulgarity which has characterized some of its recent manifestations. Shall it be represented by demonstrations which lack all the elements of the culture for which a University pre-sumsly stands? A few weeks ago an open letter from the cheerleader to the students was published in the Kansas. This letter was so course in its language that it brought upon the Kansas the courage not only of the faculty and many of the students, but also ofenders throughout the state. In the recent issue of the Oread Cyclone the cheerleader published and other letter to the students. Its tone was cheap and vulgar. It may be that this letter was purely responsible for the fire response of the rosters to the efforts of its leaders Saturday. But it is not likely. The free spirit of the cheering may be attributed to the organization and to the ability of the leader to get most from the erased during the game But vulnerability is more apt to destroy them to build up school spirit. In the first place many students respond the idea that it represents the spirit of the University. In the second place, those who enjoy such stuff enjoy it on account of the content, and their attention will be drawn away from the avered purpose of the letter. And even if those expressions would build up a manifestation of school spirit, they would not be justifiable. If this thing we call school spirit is based on cheap and vulgar expression, if it depends upon academic language to get across, then we had better frankly admit that the University cannot support that kind of spirit and still serve its purpose to the state. The spirit of Corruth, the spirit which stimulated the creation of his memorial, the spirit which caused the former chancellor Snow to give his life in service to the University, the spirit of W. Y. Morgan and his associates on the Board of Regents in devoting their time to the interests to the University, and the spirit which causes the present administration to labor inconsistently for the betterment of the University represent to the discerning student the true spirit of the University, and the attempt to express it in a chap and vulgar tone is a gross abuse of it. SUB ROSA FRATERNITIES Sub rosa fraternities are again proving themselves obnoxious. An article in Sunday's Kansas City Star calls attention to the difficulty now being experienced by the University of Missouri in regard to them. The problem facing the authorities is that of recognizing or evicting the secret organizations. The faculty and student governing body are placed in a difficult position, for membership in the fraternities is not known to those outside of the groups and definite action cannot be taken against them. In nearly every university where chapters of sub rosa freeratenies have existed they have caused trouble with the school authorities. In most instances their gets have been such that only a sub rosa organization would be able to sponsor them. The fact that responsibility cannot be placed is their protection. It is this impossibility of placing the blame that makes organizations of the type a mention to society. FAIR TRIAL DENIED A new trial has been denied Nicola Saro and Barnuloco Vanzetti by the Massachusetts superior court. Although convicted as murderers and prosecuted because of belief in the abolition of government, the legal charges against these two Italian have been filmmy and doubtful. Yet they have been held imprisoned six long years following their apprehension in the notorious "Red Raids" of 1920 under Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. The history of this case was briefly surveyed in these columns about a month ago. A fair trial to every man was advocated at that time, this great American principle of justice applying to suspicious foreign-born residents of our land as well as to natives. The department of justice of the state of Massachusetts, however has seen it again to apperve the purpose for which it exists, namely, the direction of justice. Aule counsel has come to the aid of Siaco and Vannetti. Their case has around international interest. Documents are at hand tending to show that these two men are guiltless of the crime for which they were sentenced to die. Further documents demonstrate that their tendencies toward anarchism were no more serious than those of the usual socialistic type. But especially damaging evidence is on hand showing that the very department of justice which has been persecuting these two men continues to refuse complete justice in the form of open examination of the records of the department, fair trial and just dispensation of the case. These men were tried in a time of hysteria. A third man involved with them lost his life mysteriously while in prison. All over the world in these later years since the war, there has developed a sense attitude toward political prisoners; yet these two men are refused justice, their lives are still in danger, and in the meantime they have been deprived of six years of freedom. Surely that is no record of merit for the American courts. We would like to inquire if the women on this Hill have ever tried any other brand of tea besides W. S. S. A.茶. We see it often quoted. WHERE DID THE HAND BILLS COME FROM? From all outward appearances, the University is again on the verge of being mixed up in state politics. The handbills circulated yesterday about the campus which read: "A vote for Jonathan N. Davis for governor is a vote to clean up K. U. athletics," aroune wonder as to what form the campaign will take in its last days. Where did the hills come from? Were they brought by authorized agents of Mr. Davis or are they a means of formulating Republican propaganda? Does Mr. Davis know of their existence and has he sanctioned them? What do they mean? Do they mean that the chancellor and the coaching staff will be coached and new men accrued to fill such vacancies? Would such a procedure further school spirit? Would interference on the part of a governor influence more and better athletes to come to the University? Would it make possible the outworking of those scholarly ideals for which the University exists? Were these handbills distributed only at the University or have they been scattered across the state? Is their purpose to lead to the publication of certain facts, or is it merely to catch votes with a catch phrase? Is such a statement which has no acknowledged origin or bases its statement on no definite fact worthy of consideration? These are a few of the things the Hill would like to know. There will be a meeting of the K. U. Philatelic Society on January 16, in room 207, Fraser. The meeting will begin at 1:30. Giles Mitchell '28, will continue his paper on "Philatelic Design from an Artistic Viewpoint." DUDLEY T. HORTON, President.

Dobe was essentially dramatic. But now the curtain has fallen after the last act. The show is over. While Mr. Dobe was on the stage of American life, all his leading performances evoked a blix or a sneer. He could not be popular because he played to the suburban masses and his ideals were such an organized society always fears. While Mr. Debs was marching across the stage of life, editors proclaimed that he was out of step. But he was only marching to a different drum, whose sound was impureble to the Fourth Estate and the American public. DEBS ANNA LOIS VOIGTS, President. When he was alive he was an emancipated for his ideas and ideals. When the nation sent him to prison for living according to his ideals, it was applauded. But now that he is dead, the same people who have limped him most severely at every chance are paying tribute to his man. There is nothing unusual about this. Men who have enough strength of character to stand by their ideals, even at the price of being deprived of their freedom, are always chastened while living and cologned when they die. Even men who most fear and dread revolutionary ideals recognize nobility of purpose when they no longer have reason to fear its outworkings. Temporary discontinuance of classes at John Carroll University, Cleveland, was the result of intense rivalry in the rugby rushes. Participants in the runners-up game were numerous kidnapping, will be called before Dean Olling to explain. The University of Tulsa, by action of the board of directors, has been made an inter-denominational institution. Filmy Froth "One Minute to Play" with Red Grange, an F. B. O. picture showing at the Varsity theater this week. If you have seen Richard Dix in "The Quarterback" and Rebe Daniels in "The Campus Flirt" then you know all about this picture in advance. You'll see it through parts of the film and still not miss out on any developments in the story. Perhaps some day producers will put a motion picture of college life that is not trite and cliché, but that time has not yet arrived. At that, "One Minute to Plain" is not a bad picture. The story is much more plausible than that of the Quarterback" and the college screen plays the part of a freeman who is not set upon and tortured by upper-classmen; neither does he wear out-diluted clothes nor require a tutor, but he is on the opposing team who feeds him "that drop the night before the big game." The surprise of the picture, though, is that Grange can act. He photographs well, isn't self-conscious before the camera, and always is sincere down in several places. Seems of the group are not nearly so realistic as those in "The Quarterback." In fact, they seem remarkably tame until Grenge gets into action, lops up the camera and wins the victory for his college. --and Hiking Trousers The supporting cast is adequate and there is a dog that will win the hearts of any audience. Once or twice he almost walks away with the picture. It is unfortunate, however, that the accompanying features, the comedy and news real, could not have been of the fact that this program was the one officially opening the new Varsity theater. A new course, contemporary thought dealing with apt, literature, and special, economic and political problems is offered by the department of industrial journalism at Kansas Agriculture College.
