OUR YEARBOOK
The Jashawker is out. According to its own slogan it is "the aristocrat of college annuals." It is our year book that we have been looking forward to with the greatest anticipation. Now we have an index of the students on the campus and we'll be able to associate the name with the face whereas before we knew the person by sight and not by name.
While we are enjoying the book we must remember the work that has been devoted to it, the endless amount of time sacrificed to make it what it is. If there are points where it doesn't suit you make it known to the next year's editors where it will do some good.
Here's to the Jayhawker—the Aristocrat of College Annuals.
A STRAW VOTE
If the Kansas City Star really wants to get the people of that town to take exercise properly, why doesn't it give them scientific instruction in the einsteinism of riding Kansas City street cars?
The National Economic League has just taken a referendum of its National Council on eight of the most important questions concerning our international relations. It found that its members were strongly for the League of Nations and almost unanimous for the World Court, and that they would scale down the war debt as part of a general program of international economic adjustment and charge not over 3 percent interest.
This vote is significant in that the membership is made up of 3,000 judges, bankers, lawyers, presidents and professors of universities, merchants, manufacturers, labor leaders, farmers, etc. In other words the membership includes a great many of the thinking men of the country. They are nominated and directly elected by preferential ballot from each state with view of their qualifications as leaders of public opinion. They have tried to be representative of the informed and unbiased opinion of the entire country.
The League states as its purpose "to create an informed and disinterested leadership for public opinion—a leadership that is free from partisan hissis or class interest and that will be accepted as representing simply the best thought of this country."
How many educated people of today would have been well enough informed on these questions to have voted intelligently upon them? If you could not have done so are you willing to accept the results as conclusive or are you going to inform yourself concerning them in order to draw your own conclusions? These figures are truly significant, and every American citizen owes it to himself to become acquainted with every one of them in order to be able to judge fairly.
Being endowed with human curiosity, we can not help wishing that some enterprising reporter in Detroit would ask Henry Ford just how much he is increasing the output of his plant in view of the forthcoming Kannas soldier bonus.
ALWAYS THE GOVERNMENT
Herbert W. Horwell, in the Independent magazine, tells how congress functions today and how it functioned twenty years ago, in 1903. The only difference he is able to remember is that Senator So-and-So is gone, and in his place is Senator Whathishisname. Filibusters, pagebags, the reading of speeches, lame ducks, unanimous consent, roll-calls, an empty Press gallery, spitticos and Senatorial Courtesay, all the relics of the past are still with us in our bulky machine of government by the people.
"Is the casual visitor impressed by the dignity of the Senat?", Mr. Horwill asks, "when he sees a member lashing himself into a passion over some amendment of the agricultural appreciation while his audience on the floor consists of five colleagues writing at their desks in complete indifference to his arguments?"
Here we have the secret of the whole thing. Mr. Horwill probably means to instigate that there is little dignity in the senate of late years but the senators are not satisfied if they don't keep up the old senator generation after generation. It is simply traditional red tape.
Your senator is following out your directions when he permits the government to be run like a medical court. If you don't like to have senators talk so much and especially to only five colleagues, then instruct them to do more thinking and listening and not so much talking in an empty hall. They are talking supposedly for you.

TRIUMPHANT YOUTH
One of the most refreshing sights about a college is the young person who refuses to grow up. Firmly believing in his divine right to entertain, this person fosters the Peter Pan complex and it permeates all of his actions in the class room. His bent in this direction delights both the faculty and students and provides an eagerly accepted relief from the boredom of the lecture hour.
This ancient scion of the "youth movement" shows his reversion to small-boy-door by putting pins in the seat in front of him. This always brings a love of appreciation from the professor. He dotes on writing clever little notes to the girl sitting next to him or in drawing caricatures in the fly leaf of her book. Another thing which never fails to draw a laugh is the goading of a bug along the chair arm, to the utter abandonment of class work. This fascinating occupation, if carried out with sufficient concentration, will almost always call for a word of commendation from the instructor—instructors like to see such playfulness.
This refusal to take on adult responsibility and serious demanor is often shown outside of the class room, too. When a couple of sweet young things go hop-skipping over the campus, gaily swinging hands, it is quite evident that a spirit of youth is still among us.
It does the aged heart of the professor a world of good to know that there still remain in this serious universe a few light-minded individuals who just simply won't grow old. He knows when he sees them that all his work and his endeavors to be indulgent have not been in vain—that he has succeeded in establishing a feeling of freedom in his class room. So it is, that these dear advocate of youth and play at any price come out so well at the end of the year—they have played and have done their best to brighten up a dull class room. Theirs will be the reward of virtue.

Incongruity in Use of Funds
Students who never thought of cheating while in high school do so in their university courses. They do it for one reason—to get through a course. They are taught that it is a disgrace to fail in a subject, no matter whether they are adapted to the study of that course or not. So they choose the lesser of two evils and become moral hypocrites. They must face the reality of their home in disgrace. The faculty seldom seems to take into consideration the fact that those coming to them for instruction have very little if any
Workmen for the University have excavated a huge hole in the ground behind Snow hall which in time will be covered by a library. This will allow students to build building which will be used by our children when they come back here to school. A wonderful Union building will solve the problem of housing returning alumni and providing those with proper comforts. Very good.
And yet undulating sidewalks form puddles of water when it rains which threaten pneumonia to every pedestrian who goes from Fraser to West Ad, and the streets are a morass of mud. The students in class rooms above it in the journalism building—yet crowded conditions require their use. The University has one small gymnasium which is used alternately for University parties, in place of an auditorium and for other events. One of these things can be remedied because of lack of funds so vital to present student life. Is there any inconvenience in the use of the funds that were appropriated?
The System Promotes Cheating
Students cheat in their quizzes
That is an underlined fact. Why do
they cheat? What code of honesty
does a cheating student have? Is he
the rule or rather the exception?
These questions flash across one's
mind whenever the subject is discussed.
It would seem that the student is
at fault—that he is of a weak character
and is to be shunned. But is
his entitlement true? What about the
students whose such desire on the part of students?
Isn't it possible much of the blame lies there?
knowledge of the subject. Instead, it seems as if the instructor expects the students to have much the same knowledge, interest and mentality as he has. Consequently, the appearances indicate that the assignments are for persons who are beginning of for persons who are beginning.
And is it fair to flunk those whose wits are not so keen as those of classmates? Some people require longer lessons, and require more intensive methods of instruction. Yet no consideration is ever given this and all are lumped together as in the same group, with some results expected from each person.
The fact is that there are those registered as students who have no business taking up the time of the faculty and the serious students. But they can take up the time if it fails to interest such people in their work by other means than throats? Naturally there are some inherently dishonest people in the university body, but this body is fundamentally honest if not forced to walk in other paths.
Then again there is the professor who makes his courses so dry and uninteresting that the students who are really wanting information become interested and sit through each class, doing his best to keep awake, and wishing for the whistle to blow. It becomes difficult to follow the subprocess of learning and be like for the course that leads to lack of preparation and consequently cheating to keep from failing and taking the course over again.
