ALL BUT THE SHOUTING
The 1923 football season is over. The University of Kansas team stands high today in the Valley, tied with a rival team for championship, and boasting an uncrossed goal line.
A few men have carried the name of Kansas in athletic circles over the country, during one of the most cratic seasons fans can remember. Dope was frequently upset; come-backs staged in the face of odds; but throughout it all, clean sportsmanship characterized each game.
All honor then is due the coaches the football men themselves and finally, the loyal Jayhawkers whose support made potential victory a reality.
A new definition for political party:
an organization to split about something.
THE PEACE PLAN AGAIN
In another column on this page appears a letter bearing on a recent editorial in the Kansan.
There are some points in this letter that must be admitted at the outset. There is rarely any justification for sarcasm on the editorial page, and though the editorial in question was intended only as facetious irony, it is evident that it was received as ridicule.
The Bok prize cannot be rightfully compared to the Ford Peace船. Both were conceived in idealistic fancy, but the Bok plan, though it will almost certainly never be put in effect, will accomplish a great deal indirectly by directing the interest and attention of the thinkers of the entire world on the vital problems of the nations.
The editorial critic fails to see a "single constructive point" in the eleven suggestions. Those points were informational; they show a few of the situations that must be faced by the peace plan. There are many others, just as incongruous, equally contradictory. No single scheme can ever be formulated that can wipe out the differences that exist between reces, nations, political factions, and religions. Support form one side will mean opposition from the other; if one side gains, the other starts fighting all over again to keep from losing.
The writer of the letter speaks of "stubs in the back," and likens the criticism to "p poisoning our soldiers." Those are harsh words. Why, in the name of propriety, when we see someone on the wrong track, may we not go up and say, "See here, you're not getting anywhere. Try some other way."
Although it in no way touches on the editorial in question, the point concerning American politics is true enough, and well put. This might well be the basis of another suggestion for Mr. Root.
Then he offers some suggestions.
The first is idealistic, but America proved its merits in the case of the Boxer indemnity. The difficulty in the second is in deciding what shall be the "side of right." The third, sounds all right until we remember that the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ have many interpretations by those who would apply them to the present complex situations.

RESERVE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION:
E. II. LINDLEY, President.
The Reserve Officers' Association of Lawrence will meet Tuesday, December 4th, at 7:30 p.m. m., at the R. O. T. C. Office in Fowler Schools.

C. T. ELVEY, Secretary.
The Administrative Committee of the College will meet Tuesday, Dec 4, 2:30, in Dean Brantt's office.
Appropos of this, is another point for Mr. Root;
Seriously, we believe that the world will emerge from its chaos just as a matter of time, and will do it through slow economic upbuilding, the guiding influence of the stronger nations, honest toil, and education. In the meantime we believe any plan which will lead the world to think is valuable.
12. Elevate into international ethics the principles of the Sermon on the Mount, without embarrassing in any way the many loyal clergymen who recently proved that Christianity and war are quite compatible.

Last week, during the excitement and enthusiasm preceding the Tiger game, there appeared on the campus, in the hands of energetic and persistent saleen, two kinds of buttons. Both were emblematic of the University of Kansas, and were designed to be worn on coat laplaces.
Motto to be framed: "Don't give up, in or out."
CAPITALIZING TRADITION
They were just ordinary stampede celluloid buttons with tins backs. They were reminiscent of a decade or so ago, when folks went around wearing buttons that bore a portrait and the words, "Soopendyke for Governor." The form of the Jayhawk used is copyrighted.
The price was twenty-five cents. There were not many complaints about the price, considering the number of buttons sold—which must have ranged high in thousands—for at such a time as this, when patriotic feeling is running high, no one cares to cavil at the price of patriotic demonstration; and outside of a street car or a soda fountain the quarter is still about the smallest recognizable specie. But that is just the point—the capitalizing of a student tradition; some bought thinking that the sale and the article had some official significance and backing, and there were hints of a profit of a hundred percent or more. And certainly it does not seem that the cost of producing such an article warrants the price charged.
The Joint Committee on Student Affairs met Saturday morning and took action condemning such enterprises as this. It is to be remembered, however, that this action was taken after these men had their capital invested, and the situation was not altogether clear cut for them, and for those responsible for other such enterprises. The Kanas suggests that the Committee take some further action at once, before the situation arises again, and establish in a definite manner the limits of propriety in such enterprises. There need then be in the future neither violation of propriety on the part of students nor injustice toward students on the part of authorities or of public opinion.
Campus Opinion
To the Editor of the Kansan:
By comparing the Bok prize to the Ford peace ship, the editor is indulging in a very dangerous kind of destructive sarcasm.
The editorial in Sunday's Kansas "A hundred thousand dollar dove," is cleverly written, but I hope you will recognize the other side of the argument.
After reading carefully the eleven suggestions for Mr. Root, I fail to see a single constructive point. The attempt seems to be made to ridicule the whole idea of world peace by showing the futility of any plan to surroundable difficulties. "* * I am not jumping on his (Mr. Bok)'s bandwagon when I say that his plan is far more constructive than the editorial published. It seems a cruel thing to criticise those who attempt to determine a solution to these problems. It seems I favor world peace would direct their guns against the common enemy of world peace, we should sooner secure this, one of the greatest needs of all time. I am sure the editor is in favor of world peace; and yet, this kind of savaged, directed to secure it, is like putting police in the food of his fellow soldiers.
There are those who belittle the League of Nations. Then let them suggest a better plan. There are those who oppose the world court. If these critics are interested in the League, then let them offer something better.
The worst enemies of peace are those who refuse to commit themselves to any constructive plan of world peace and stab in the tack all others who refuse to follow their own obstructive methods.
I am sure that America's participation in any plan for world peace must first pass the shoals of political criticism. Both political parties have supported opposing opponents from without, but with a possible split in their own party, if any constructive plan for world peace is upheld in the coming election. This split would undoubtedly mean political defeat, a calamity to be faced by political leaders than the failure to provide a plan for world peace.
I haven't eleven suggestions to make, but here are a few:
The result of the election was announced at the Military ball, Nov. 28, when each sponsor was deparated with a silver insignia miniature of the commanding officer of her company.
2. The moral influence of the United States to be thrown on the side of right in every international controversy, not by a spirit of domination, but by a spirit of service and good will.
1. The refounding of the allied war debt to those countries owing it as fast as paid, to be used in the education of young people in the ways of peace.
3. The acceptance by the United States of the principles of Jesus Christ as the basis of international relations.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest of three members of a ticket agency at the University of Chicago, following a discovery by federal operatives of the sale of football tickets for the Ohio game at scalper's prices, which violates federal regulations.
I have faith in the ultimate riumph of sight. Have you?

have not purchased their 1924 Jayhawker.
You have two ways of supporting it—and each avenue offers you value received. You may purchase a Jayhawker—and you may patronize the class section by having your picture in with those of your classmates.
The Jayhawker is not a University catalog—it is YOUR yearbook—picturing student life and student activity. Its quality depends upon the support you give it.
The profit on sales and space goes toward paying for the features of the book, for which no pay is received—such as art work, view section, activities section, athletic section, humor section, and surprise section. Your support is necessary to make possible these features.
Let us have your order for a Jayhawker; or send us your gloss for your class section.
