SPEAK YOUR MIND
An opportunity for any one to put his opinion into print is to be given in the form of an open forum, a column to be instituted on the editorial page of the Kansan next Monday, and to appear on Monday of each week as long as the contributors are interested. It is to be your column, students, faculty, and all. If you find anything on the bill which you wish to comment upon, either favorably or unfavorably, this is your opportunity. This is not to serve the same purpose as the Student Opinion has in the past but is to be a place where the regular editorial writers and anyone else can voice their personal opinions which the Kansan might be unwilling to stand for and print under its own name.
STUDENT CHEATING
The letters must be accompanied with the name of the writers, for the information of the editor, and signed with either the name or initials for publication.
Why do students cheat? If there is to be a remedy for the "cribbling" evil here at the University, there must be found a cause for the situation.
Students who, in the high school, would turn in disgust from the idea of cheating during a quiz, accept as a matter of course the easiest way to "get by." Students who, confronted with any other form of dishonesty, would decline to stoop, complacently discuss various forms of "cribbing" here, and choose the best.
Why is it? Is the educational system at the University at fault; is it the faculty; or is the student, himself, growing callous to dishonesty?
It is the last hypothesis which is the most dangerous. If the system here, or the faculty body here, is at fault, it is certain that they can be remedied. But if the student's attitude toward life is such that he feels "cribbing" to be a legitimate process, then the situation is, indeed, serious.
There should be an intelligent ofort to waken in the minds of the students a new idea of their responsibility to the institution and to society. How that may be done will have to be worked out in some joint meeting of faculty and students.
The makeshift plan that "cribbling" is only a method of beating professors who demand too much of the student, is too old to be considered. A code of honor which can be shifted about at will on the score of beating a professor, is a poor code after all.
The thing lies with the student, himself, and can be combatted only through the student. If that fails, then the situation is irremedible.
SOL'S VACATION
Perhaps you've been wondering why we've been having so much rainy weather, and days when the sun does not even show itself. And perhaps you've been terribly upset by relying on the weather report only to find that the predictions were absolutely false and that you've planned the wrong kind of a party or worn the wrong dress or suit.

QUILL CLUB:
Vol. II Thursday, May 3, 1923 No. 147

VICTOR SOLBERG, Faculty Advisor.
nian Institution informs us at that the present time the sun is giving off 3 or 4 per cent less heat to the earth than normally. He says that every eleven years the sun takes a rest and has not failed to do so in 200 years of observation. And at this period the weather forecasters are all upset and cannot with any degree of suriness predict the weather.
But Mr. Abbott says that to compensate for its laziness the sun usually returns to its duty of warming with renewed vigor, culminating in a period of the maximum number of sun spots. Whether to call it compensation or not is the question before us. In Kansas we usually have all the heat we want in the summer time. But now we're told that the worst is yet to come. If we are to have a hotter summer than usual we can't say but that we don't appreciate Sol loafing on the job.
UNFAIR TREATMENT
But that is no reflection on the University nor for that matter on the students. Undoubtedly, those student spectators were as horror-streaked at the whole proceedings as were the readers of the account in the papers the next day.
Grim reflection is cast upon the University of Missouri in the lynching of a negro there last week. University students were at first accused of being members of the mob, then of standing near to witness the scene, and finally were exonerated by the head of the institution of having been near the lynching at all.
It is highly improbable that there were not some students at the scene, by no means actively engaged in the lynching, but certainly there watching. It is the old question of human curiosity in the first place and then control by the mot in passive resistance.
It is wrong to cast a blot on the institution at Columbia just because it happened to be located in the town in which the crime occurred. It is wrong to cast a blot on the institution just because a few students probably gathered on the fringe of the mob to watch.
The University of Missouri is unfortunate in having the occurrence happen right at its door. But is can not be blamed for what has happened. It can not be expected to reach out and influence those of all social levels in the city.
Education is certainly a great factor working against mobs and it is ooped that it is the cure. But until the time comes when all people are so educated as to be able to control themselves in a mob we must rely on the aw.
YOUR FAMILY TREE
Blame the law if that is where it lies, but leave the University out of it.
Look over your family tree and see how many branches it has. Perhaps you will find that you are a violent mixture of German, English, French, with just a touch of Hebrew and a tiny pinch of Scandinavian and a trifling bit of Irish. Maybe you will be just English with only a drop or two of French, but at any rate the chances are very great that you are not all American. Not many generations age your family tree had determined foreign blood and you show the effects of it.
It has been a fortunate thing for us that our ancestors were admitted to this country many years ago; but right now we are all so mixed in blood that Americanism is being submerged with a gigantic influx of thousands upon thousands of foreign citizens who have planned a tireless exploitation of American wealth, or who want to escape from the unpleasant conditions of unsettled Europe.
The number of persons admissible into the country yearly is now 357,000, but there is legislation proposed to increase it to 596,000 a year. The problem must be examined on the face of present conditions. It is a
well known fact that we have failed to Americanize millions of foreign-born popewhens whom we now call Americans, or who virtually are Americans through years of home life on this continent. What are we to do with the people whom we have not attempted to educate, or feed, who are foreign born and who are quite unable to speak our languages and use our custom? Certainly we have a tremendous job on our hands if we but cope with the present situation. Then why is it that we should increase the possible admissions 299,000 a year? What would they do over here and what could we do with them?
Only of late have our immigration laws been strict enough to keep those totally undesirable out of the country, and most of that service has been accomplished through the comparatively new Department of Labor of the United States government.
We could better afford to curtail the possible admissions 292,000 a year than add that great number to our present quota. America needs to check herself up and examine her family tree. It is to be feared that our American family tree will cause to be a beautiful flowering shrub but will soon turn to a clinging vine with a billion shooting wiry arms and tendrils.
Plain Tales From The Hill
A student said this morning, at 10:30 that he had just had a sensation, a thrill. When asked what and why, he replied that he had finished a quiz or rather examination, under which he thought that he had really passed it.
