DO AS THE POLITICIANS
TELL YOU
Election of class officers is just one day away, but the two political parties have not yet deemed it necessary to announce their platforms, if, perchance, they consider platforms necessary or advisable.
Each party daily devotes several columns of advertising space in the Kansan to calling the other party names, and echoing such outbursts catch-phrases as "Compare the qualifications," "Honor to whom honor is due," and "Let the office ask the man." All of which means nothing more than this year, as always, campus politicians are creating University students with the voting intelligence of the average voter of a machine-red city ward.
"Clean, progressive politics," "fair politics and rigid principles," and "light of truth," coupled with accents of "blind and bigtied" and wire-pulling "at the dead of the night, behind locked doors," sound as if the existence of the University were dependent upon boiling political and moral issues, which have been brought to the fore only through the unwarranted devotion of loyal, consecrated patriots.
Such maneuvers are unworthy of supposedly intelligent, educated students. It is apparent that a number of politicians have either miserized themselves into believing fair tales, or are wilfully mistrusting facts.
Campus folklore or a search of the back files of the Karman will reveal the fact that delusions as to the approach of the millennium occur every fall; that the fair name of the University is threatened annually; but that all that political campaigns give to the University in a reputation for questionable politics; that those students who seriously "compare the qualifications" stay away from the polls; and that the important business entrusted to the class officers is owing for pictures to be reproduced in the Jayawacker.
An inquiry as to the functioning of Hill politics brings from the politicians the ever so proud boast that campus politics have developed in a more complex degree here than at any other institution in the country. Which is like Mississippi boasting that it has the highest percentage of illiteracy of any state in the union, or Kansas glaring in its mud roads.
The paucity of issues mentioned in the party "organs" indicates either that the candidates do not know that it is possible for actual issues to exist on the Hill, or that they are afraid to take a definite stand. Lengthy and ardent tributes are paid to the past honors of the candidates, but conspicuous absent from party demonstrations are references, either pro or con, to freshman cap regulations, establishment of a co-operative student bookstore, overspecialization of athletes, military training in the University, or even the abolition of the fall election (although it is to be presumed that both parties favor the continuance of the latter.)
If the struts of the past are indicative of the direction of the wind of the present, "clean politics"* is only an expression for a clean sweeps for the party which capitalizes the phrase, Promises for a reformation, for a
The Golden Orchids
In the snow-borne waterfalls we found the golden archids.
Nodding on the moon beneath the thunder.
Though many a snowstorm there had come and gone,
the wind had not deeply smoothed they order,
they sodded many, and slept in spite of thunder,
in defilete, severe and golden wonder.

It is common for ill-behaved children, in their childish way, to call each other names. In the Kanman presuppose in inferring that the political authorities are children? At any rate, unless the two parties can come together to neutral issue, they will not be charged with which theyrench their head best, rest from the
prach, they had best retire from the camus.

"SOME CALL IT
Now that the rainy season has been broken and autumn weather is really here, the air is invigorant. Life has taken on a new aspect and as one glances at the trees and shrubs which are slowly turning yellow and brown, one feels that indescribable couch of something reaspondent, not only in the present vista but in the contemplated one, when leaves shall be browner, yellower and even red. And in the background of this picture can be imagined that high-lyne, which bults the golden valleys about us and which lends an atmosphere of velled mystery to the landscape.
Indian Summer some call it but to others it suggests more than this. It suggests mellow summer, summer without the boat, without the glare, summer which is perfect in colorings, beautifully bright without being glowing and a summer covered over with just cough blue-grey to make it cool. React as this atmosphere is, it quickens the blood and brightens the eye, because it beeps耐旱 northerly plants which are coming, accompanied by snow, and with them both is winter, the time of the year for real creative work.
Autumn interprets itself as that time of year between heat and cool which gives one the breathing spell between summer's rather indolent activity and winter's forced action. Grain shocks are slowly beginning to dot the horizons. Meadows and fields are looking less green and are becoming a rich brown. Summer birds are beginning to fly southward and "bob-whites" are whistling up their primitive tunes.

THE FACULTY SHOULD PLAY FAIR
Probably the student needs the book more than does the instructor, unless
Too many instructors abuse their library privileges.
Dozens of students, especially upperclassmen, already this year have had the experience of asking for a book at "the general desk at the library and being informed that "Miss B has it. She's an instructor." With a sinking heart the student realizes what this means. For an instructor has special privileges and may retain a book as long as he chooses. There is no time limit within which he must return the volume. He may keep it overtime for a month, two months, or if it happens to slip his mind, even a whole semester.
