Kelner Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone—K U. 25 and 65 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the future of Kansas; to go further than merely prying the news by standing for the ideals FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1924 The crime wave has hit Lawrence. Two robbery suspects have been jailed and the taxis are at it again. “PROPAGANDA” PLUS Back at Washington they've done a little more committee appointing. It's resolved purpose is to inquire into general propaganda in the United States, according to Mr. Reed, senator from Missouri. And while he admits a flood of form letters and controlled publicity are being employed by banking interests on the tax question and advertising lobbying is being done by "wai proffesors" to hold up the bonus proposition, Mr. Reed gets out his brass-lunged ballyhoos to bombastic: Mr. Bok. Why should Reed and his cohorts pick on Bok. Especially why should they turn to an open-handed attempt for world thought, which the majority of the committee is ready to "block jack" at the moment it steps into the door of publicity, while crude business deals, according to their own charge, are influencing the per-mount problems of taxation and compensation? It looks as if certain senators are staging a little "ad" campaign all by their lonesome. You know, Senator Red hates the league. With due respect to the slogan "Keep coolidge" and "Will Mac A- do" we ask you: why not "Hir Hiram?" AFTER OXFORD AND CAM BRIDGE It has been charged that American college students do not think. When somebody runs out of something to say, he usually turns to the undergraduate and questions his morals or his thinker, and the normal majority of student bodies go branded as empty-headed parasites. And the undergraduate makes no attempt at rebuttal. Kansas has an example that it could well follow, set up by the Unions of Oxford, Cambridge and several eastern colleges. These unions are on the order of an all-university society for debate, membership in which is regarded as one of the highest honors. The English Unions have had as guests the great men of parliament and prime ministers. Problems of national import are discussed in formal debate, the speakers often finding their statements in the national press. Union presidents occupy a position of prestige, coveted greatly by the thinkers of student bodies. Kansas has nothing that can approach this. Her student council is a political ladies aid, heckling in rampant debate over the leap year equalities of the terpischiorian art, and once a year drafting a new constitution. Kansas debating has narrowed down to one department, which weakly appears to the university at large. The student body as a whole does its sane and serious thinking in the age old sessions before the town's fireplaces, and then with a varying degree of sanity. Maybe there will be an undergraduate somebody who will undertake to lay the foundation for a Kansas Union, dignified, sincere and of vital interest not only to the University, but to the state. The old time southern gallantry evidently hasn't died out. It was a senator from Virginia who presented the plan by which women delegates at large to the Democratic convention may be allowed half a vote apiece. A HAND TO JAPAN Another earthquake has rocked the island of Japan. No citizen of the land of the cherry blossom can retire at night without misgivings. He may awake to the earth shaking beneath his feet and death and destruction reaching out over the cities. Hardly had the people of Tokio finished burying their dead from the last quake, before another was upon them. Life is an herdic struggle in Japan. Just about the time we begin to think this old world isn't going to be so bad, after all, somebody comes along and predicts radio movies. Australia used to be the greatest penal colony of the world. Now they emigrate to America. Upholders of the present tax system should realize that the season isipe for "Mellen plugging." Few radio sets ever saw the inside of a beauty parlor, but they all have their permanent waves. Wonder if the composer of the old church favorite "There Is Music in the Air," might not well be called the original "Radio Prophet?" Our crime wave seems to be on the permanent kind, with a retracing now and then. It seems the U. S. is a little too vain on its administration of justice. "David Sarnoff receives answer to question sent 14,000 miles by land and sea in one minute and forty-five seconds," reports headline. With a little more training and team work he would almost show a chance in a K. U. final exam. Bulletin: Lucky, a University Student, disappeared here just before the final examinations. We find a timely tip for the in temperate bromo totebors in today' headlines, "Man Kills Two Wh Would Not Let Him Sleep." "Beauty specialists do more than ministers to keep husbands faithful, says a doctor. This is contrary to the popular opinion that "a thing of beauty is a joy forever,—if you're not married to it." A wrong interpretation of the "Spare the rod and spoil the child" maxim must have caused a Chicago mother to shoot her son to "save his soul from crime." In tenderloin vernacular, "rod" means "revolver." Minnesota farmers use honey in anti-freeze radiator compounds, and report that their cars run sweetly. The plan which has been put to vote here is not the outgrowth of a study of the desires of the people as expressed by the 22,165 plans which were submitted; it is one individual plan out of 22,165 and it has been selected by a jury of only seven judges. Campus Opinion The Bok peace plan has been put to vote at the University of Kansas and has been approved by a large majority as was to be expected. But out of the whole University only 183 students and faculty members voted on the plan and now we hear that there are only 183 persons in the University who are interested in a project by which America may aid in establishing world peace. Perhaps the majority are not interested but I wonder if there were not a few deeply interested in a peace plan, simply a meaningful casting of ballots in a vote on the Bok plan. Editor of the Kansap: The average persons finds in it many provisions which he is gird to support and others which are not to his liking. It is incredible, however, that one specific plan, chosen in seven persons, should exactly fulfill the wishes of very many people. Neither does it seem probable that Official Daily University Bulletin Copy received at the Chancellor's office until 11:00 a.m. Vol. III.

Yet the ballot for the Bok计划 requires a yes or no vote. Do you approve the plan? Or do you believe it may not more than ten persons in a thousand could cast such a vote. may have influenced some voters. They felt that a peace plan was desirable. An affirmative vote meant a step toward a peace plan. A no on the ballot meant a rejection of the one plan offered with no alternative choice. Hence they voted yes. The Bok award has been of great value in stimulating thought on plans for world peace but it seems to me that its sponsors have lost a There is another view of the ballo which I conclude most voters have taken. The phrase "in substance" may be interpreted as giving greater freedom of decision, so that if one approved a majority of votes, it would be yes or if he disapproved the greatest part of the plan he could vote no. What would this kind of vote show? An unfavorable verdict certainly would not show that all the terries were disapproved by the majority, and likewise a favorable vote would not mean that all the terms of the plan were desired by the majority. The favorable vote which the plan required was not realized by the balloters thought there was more good than had in the plan, a conclusion of no value whatsoever at least 10,000 out of the other 22,000 plans would have been received similarly for probably half of the authors included more desirable provisions than undesirable ones.
