The Daily Kamaan aims to picture the Undergraduate and Graduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing up to criticism. The program will play favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to sister Hadda; to all serve the university's ability to function at the University.

A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR DOVE
Just a few more days now, and the winner of the Bok Peace Plan contest will be announced. Someone will be richer by $100,000, and the world will be richer by a solution to all its difficulties. The international batteer will be buried deep in the pages of the last volume of H. G. Wells, and the dove of peace will mount to the highest perch in his pacific roost and warble, "God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world."
Who would ever have imagined that Edward Bok would be the one to bring peace and order out of all this international chaos? We are reminded of a Peace Ship, not so many years ago, that turned out to be a fliver. Mr. Ford's idea was appreciated like Mellina Food at a boozy party. But Mr. Ford had only the ship—the plan was to come later. Mr. Bok is going at it from the other end. Once he has the Plan, he believes, and rightfully, that there will be little difficulty in getting it across.
So Mr. Bok offered $100,000 for a scheme that will end conflict between nations. Twenty-two thousand altruistic idealists responded to the stirring appeal. Perhaps the prize motivated their action. Anyway, they responded. Statemen, school child en, bankers, and ditch-diggers from twenty-two countries sent in their solutions.
The jury of award is headed by Eilin Root, who expects to announce the decision by December 1. So Mr. Root should be well along in the twentieth thousand in his reading by now. The statement by Mr. Bok of the conditions does make a judgment rather difficult—"The purpose of the award is two-fold: First, to produce a plan; and second, to insure, so far as that may be, that it will be put into operation."
The trouble lies in satisfying every one. Nearly any plausible one will satisfy half the people—but its more proposal will send the other half on gunning for the dove of peace with
anti-aircraft artillery. Before the scheme can be accepted by the world, it must be a masterpiece of harmony. There are several conditions that the scheme must meet and provide for. Here are a few last minute suggestions for Mr. Root:
1. Figure a way to allow England to allow France to get what she wants without disrupting the alliance.
2. Throw into productive employment war strategies, navy boosters, and munition markers, without losing the vote of the American Le-
3. Lift the $200,000,000 military budget from the taxpayers, and at the same time increase the armed forces' budget that adequate overtime can be given.
4. Provide for free exchange without giving up the protection of American industry.
6. Safeguard our immigration problems without arousing the ire of emigrants' countries.
7. Maintain our benevolent neutral policy, such as our fair-minded desire to see Germany pay no more than she can, and France collect all she wants.
8. Organize the intellectual classes for a complete repudiation of war in general—yet in no way opposing any war in particular.
5. Prepare the foreign student for constructive intellectual leadership by feeding him soun.
9. Educate the youth of the world to a hatred of war, without depriving them of the benefits of target practice, discipling, and bayonet drill.
10. Organize Russia, and then try to put her in her place among the resectable nations.
11. Put the installation of the Plan into the hands of men who are loyal to the World War II allied elite—not of the men of none of these priests put into the hands of pacifists.
Campus Opinion
Football in the 90's
In the interest of truth and fairness to the spirit of K. U. I, wish to enter a brief but emphatic protest against the assertions and implications of the article in last Saturday's issue and headed "Ancient Warriors, Ete."
In that article among other highly exaggerated statements touching the spirit and practice of football in the 90's, the writer says: "The rooters always fortified themselves with several rounds of good whisky . . . and sailed forth to the game with a thirst for blood. . ."
Now let it be admitted at once that in the 90's there were light-headed and foolish football fans as there are now; and further that rooting was not used. But a great majority of the rooters of that time were high-minded men who thirsted for blood no more than the men of the present generation. I am not too enthusiastic, and associated intimately with undergraduates, and can affirm that whiskey was not in evidence on the football field except in rare instances. Let us be thankful that similar instances are rare
I can understand how the writer of the article in question has been misled by the vicious habit of the "Old Grad" of magnifying up to the point of falsification the faults and foibles of the time when he was in college. Is it another proof that men love darkness rather than light?
The high moral tone that dominates K. U. today has been the moral tone of all of us since 1967, and our emergence from savagery did not begin yesterday.

Again a one-person show visited Lawrence and was liked by everyone. It was unfortunate that there was a charity ball and a few other social functions to interfere with the attendance at the show, for the audience was inadequate for the excellence of the performance.

At The Theater
The story of the play is a rather old theme, that of an old-fashioned aunt with a scapegrace nephew, who hates the city blindly, until she is given a real whirl of city life, and then she loves the thrill and excitement more than she ever dilkled it before.
May Robson is new to most of the theater-goers here, and her vehicle was rather old, though finely lobbied by that age, so possibly these facts help to account for the lack of attendance. But those of the younger generation who were able to get to the Bowerowck host last night like "Rejewatment" and "Rejewatment II," with their elders in the fact that Miss Robson is one of the best-liked and most human of all actresses in the stage today.
Miss Robison in the role of the old-fashioned aunt gave a fine performance of the part, clearly showing why it was this vehicle which first

In her scene with the ancient maiden servant of the old farm, and again in the one with the maiden servant of the court, and in their best opportunities for real characterization, and she handled them admirably. Her whole-hearted sympathy, hire character and appreciation of the finer points of that experience, a la lasting impression on the audiences.

The supporting cast, of necessity, was not quite good enough for their lead, yet there was good work done by them. They would appear that in casting the play, Miss Robson endeavored to give some youngsters a chance and at the same time keeping the saneness of organization by having a few old-timers.

The other three members of the quartet were very good in a musical way, but not outstanding in acting. Paula Mann, as Betty, may be very charming and well-intentioned, but the audience might have a smile which she flashed on each and every occasion, whether the time was appropriate or not.

on so small a part, Lillian Harmer and C. a A. Winters, in the parts of the two farm people, gave good old-time interpretations of that type of character. The rest of the cast was fairly good, though some showed need of more experience. Ruth, the cat, played by heather; Kate, the cats on the stage, and not once did she look inquisitively out to the audience.
It seems that Lawrence has been very fortunate in getting two such character actors as Miss Robson and Joseph Jefferson so close together and so early in the season. May the good work continue.
