U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kanaan asks to picture the students of the University to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the debate. The next step is to be heir; to be cheerful; to be careful; to have serious problems to wiser hands; in order to understand the ability of the students of the University.

THE GALLERY'S PART Mt. Oread basketball crowds have had a reputation in the Valley for the fine spirit they have manifested toward opponents. 'This year there is an impression throughout the Valley, both among other teams and officials who have been in charge of games here, that the K. U. crowds are composed of poor sports. We are accused of prolonging the cheerring when a man wearing the Crimson and the Blue scores a basket and of remaining comparatively silent when the opponents score. We are accused of manifesting our disapproval of the decisions of the officials in ways which the true sporting spirit frowns upon. The further complaint is made that we "ruzz" members of opposing teams. With so much at stake, we shall be feverishly excited. Some K. U. rooter in the heat of his orthnismum may say something that will cause the officials to call a foul on the crowd. Such a foul may mean the loss of the game and with it the championship of the Missouri Valley. Tomorrow night the walls of Robinson Gymnasium will bulge with the pressure of the Jawhawker and Tiger basketball fans within. It is the crowning game of the season; the Kansas team may come off the floor champions of the Missouri Valley. If you do not agree with the decisions of the officials tomorrow night, keep still about it. The men on the team are out to bring home the championship; the galleries must not take it away from them. Tomorrow night is the time to redeem ourselves. Basketball fans and sport writers will be here from all over the valley. When the game is over, there should be no doubt in their minds whether or not K. U. fans are true sportsmen. The Kansas Senate killed a bill making it murder in the first degree to sell booze which kills the drinker. That same body passed a bill making it a crime and misdemeanor punishable by fine or imprisonment for a student to use a car while enrolled in college or high school. Truly, crime has various aspects. CAMPUS MAGAZINES Why is it that the two campus magazines, The Sour Owl and The Oread Magazine, do not receive the student support that they deserve? Our reference is not to the volume of the sales; that is usually very good. We are speaking now of a student interest as shown in the form of contributions to the contents of the publications. At most large schools a wealth of manuscripts is submitted to the campus magazines at each issue, and to have something published in them is considered a distinct honor for the contributors. Here the editors of the two magazines are forced to plead continually for copy, and then quite often the manuscripts called for are not forthcoming. As a result, the publications become the work of a very small group instead of being an all-school activity. Some say that the fault lies in the quality of the magazines—that they are amateur and that it does no one credit to appear in them. But this charge seems to be unjust. Of course, any student publication smacks more or less or amateur work, but it should not be compared with established national magazines. Those who are in a position to judge have said that The Sou Owl and The Oread Magazine compare very favorably with other campus publications of this country. And neither does it seem probable that the difficulty may be found altogether in the student body. Literary desires and aspirations here are surely not in an entirely moribund condition. A little reflection leads to the belief that the students lack active creative interest because the publications have never approached them in just the right way. The right sort of ubiquity, building ap prestige about the accepted manuscript, would certainly help, and once the students see the thing in its true light, the editors' troubles will end. The Oread Magazine and The Sour Owl are very different in character, but they both have a place, and they are both facing the same problem—that of becoming broad campus ac- vities. How is strong the K. K. K. in Kansas? A bill to prohibit the wearing of masks except in fun was killed in the legislative mill at Topeka. ENJOYING PROHIBITION Three years ago the prohibition issue was fought out in the national legislature and the various state legislatures. The Volstead act was passed, and the country settled down to "enjoy" prohibition. It has been enjoying it ever since. Today we are treated to the rare spectacle of U. S. senators, elected for their jubilous insight into the questions of the day, and for their ability to represent their constituents, struggling in the halls of the Senate house in Washington to restrain a tipster from appearing on the Senate floor. A run fleet is reported waiting just without the three-mile limit in the Atlantic, ready to cater to the demands of thirsty Americans who are willing patrons. In Kansas City last week, thirteen people lost their lives in a fire, traceable to the carelessness of a drunken man. If the Volstead Act is a dead letter, it should be repealed. If the majority of American citizens oppose its maintenance, it should be taken from the statute books. As it is enforced now, it is serving as a stimulus to further law-violation. If the law is a live one and the present condition is only one of transition, then the country can afford to spend every cent it can must to pay the expense of rigorous enforcement. It isn't the distribution of wealth that should worry us; it's the accumulation. There are many inhabitants of this earth who were born with exceedingly large ears. Some of these ears resemble cabbage leaves or elephants' ears; others are smaller, comparing favorably with an ordinary wash basin. Those who are equipped with such ears were subjects of many joins and much tasting while in the grades, and they feel sensitive about them when grown. A BEAUTY HINT But science has found a way to domesticate the flopping and unguily ear. The person possessing such an ear should purchase a radio set equipped with head phones. He should listen assiduously to programs from here and there for at least three months. At the end of that time he will notice a marked improvement in the behavior of his auricular appendages. A method has been perfected for bottling sunshine. The California Chambers of Commerce will probably modestly call attention to the abundance of raw material available there for the bottling works. Official Daily University Bulletin COLUMBUS, OH — The Coast Artilleys Senior, scheduled for Wednesday evening, is hereby changed to Tuesday evening, February 27. This on-campus event will be held at the Columbus Civic Center. Copy received by Florence F. Bliss, Editor, Chevrolet's Office No.103 Vol. II. Tuesday, February 27, 1923 COAST ARTILLERY SENIOR MEETING TONIGHT: EDWARD W. TURNER, P.M.S. & T. LAW SCHOOL FACULTY: The regular weekly meeting of the faculty of the School of Law will be held at 12:30 Wednesday noon at Ye Taverne. If you have a spark of talent for some one particular thing or think you have—follow that instead of trying to learn something in which you know you are out of place. Follow your natural bent by all means, unless it be highway robbery or something like that. In that case you can modify your instinct by running a picture show or other place of amusement. Campus Opinion CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE LECTURE FOR FRESHMEN: "by Miss Laird, at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon, in Room 60 Prince Hall." ALICE WINSTON, Chairman. In Utah the drastic anti-cigarette law is causing so much dissatisfaction that a Fremont's League has been organized with much success. Many of the most prominent people in Utah have joined the league to join in the fight against a law which attempts to make a crime out of what can never be conceived. Cigarette Laws DIVISION OF PUBLICATIONS AND COMMITTEE ON PRINTING: A meeting of the Division of Publications and Printing called on May 16, 2015 at 10 a.m. in Fraser Hall. Hearst has begun plans to own and operate a chain of motion picture theaters from New York to Los Angeles. He will probably have them painted yellow. GENIUS WILL OUT When Benjamin West, the first great American painter, was a small boy he liked to draw and paint. Trying to keep his secret from his parents, who were Quakers, he exercised his talents on the sky, and at one time, when he had colors but no brush, he sheared off considerable of the old family feline's fur in order to make the needed brush. Thus began the career of a genius. From the foregoing it will be seen that Benjamin West did not take a course in art; neither did he order an expensive camel's hair brush, oils, a palette and the like. All he knew was that he liked to paint, and paint he did. He allowed nothing to hinder him for long. All of which shows that it is best to follow one's natural bent. Benjamin West liked to paint, and paint he could; but as a statesman he might have been a flat failure. Abraham Lincoln was a great statesman, but the probabilities are that not all the training or equipment in the world would ever had made him an artist. On this very Hill there are many who are not following their natural bents. Some who are studying medicine should be studying law; some who are taking journalism should be taking engineering; some who are taking economics should be cultivating corn; some this, some that and some the other. L. N. FLINT, Chairman. Laws such as the Kansas and Utah anti-cigarette laws are what causes the "growing disrespect for law" that loud-mouthed orators and writers prate about. Cigarette smoking is not a crime; it cannot be compared to liquor drinking. No cigarette smoker ever spent his week's wages at the corner ciger store in setting up Fatimas to the boys; no cigarette smoker ever beat his wife and children because of a few drags taken from a Camel. Opponents of cigarette smoking argue that it is injurious to the health, and that smoking is its own funeral if his health is injured. An observer who interviews fifty physicians will find that approximately forty-five of them smoke cigarettes. Surely no doctor would frighten away his life by cigarette smoking if it was very injurious. And if doctors do not know what is good for the health and what is not, who does? The laws mentioned these laws mentioned pay attention to pipe or cigar smoking. Just why cigarette smoking should be considered so much worse than pipe or cigar smoking is hard to be seen. only explanation must be that back in the 80s no stage villain ever appeared with his black cigarette hanging below his black moustache; and that cigarettes in those days were used chiefly by those of the underworld. A foolish prejudice against cigarettes, and it has remained ever since. Such laws are passed through the efforts of radicalized minorities, who think what THEY do not care for is all wrong. These reformers work on legislators, and when they fail, from them he makes in his boots. And such laws will always be disobeyed, for they have no moral or statutory basis. There are in Kansas and Utah thousands upon thousands of good steady citizens, law-abiding persons, who have never committed murder, stolen, or broken the Seventh Commandment. Yet these same persons will break anti-cigarette laws without a qualm. The "growing disrespect for law" will continue until the statute books are elucded of laws which attempt to govern conduct which are no others to God or man. Tobacco enemies say that if God had intended man to smoke he would equip him with a smoke stack. Arguing from that standpoint, it is clear that smoking has been born with clothes on if God had intended him to wear clothes. C. L. So.
