TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1923
A colonel and twenty men are all that remain of the American force on the Rhine. There's probably not a millionaire's daughter in the U. S. with that many maids.
CrARLIE AND POLA
Those Los Angeles correspondents, who apparently have little to do excepte chronicle the doings of the movie folk, inform us that at last Charles Chaplin is to weed, the lady being Pola Nerlig, the German film actress.
It is hoped that Charlie will walk camly up to the altar and submit to the halter. Since he divested Mildred Harris the papers have been full of the loves of the comedian for this, that, and the other female; they have him engaged to several. It has been good advertising, no doubt, but the American film public wants to see a marriage. The movie-hounds like sentiment—they eat it up—and the comedian better take the vows before he loses out at the box office.
If it is found that all this has been done to advertise Pola Negri, who was not very well known until her name began to be linked with Chaplin's, the movie fans will be sore—until they read of Charlie's engagement to some more.
STUDENTS AND CARS
Some public seeker has introduced a bill into the New York assembly which would require baby carriages to be equipped with head and tail-lights between dusk and dawn. That chap could better occupy himself by telling long-suffering father们 how to manipulate a baby carriage up or down a flight of winding stairs without swapling copiously.
The Van do Mark bill, now pending in the legislature, to prohibit the use of pleasure cars by students of state schools, is unjust. Assuming that the automobile on the campus is an evil, there are ways of handling the situation without enacting that drastic, far-reaching legislation proposed in the state Senate.
The bill as approved and returned by the Senate judiciary committee, would prohibit students from using pleasure cars not only on the campuses of state schools, but would also deny them the use of automobiles at any place during the time of their enrollment in Kansas educational Institutions.
Bringing it home to the situation here at the University, the proposed bill means that there would be no student cars in Lawrence or on the campus. But the bill has a still deeper significance: it means that when the K. U. student goes home at any time during his enrollment, he would be forbidden to use the "Family Ford" —forbidden under the penalty of $300 fine and thirty days in jail.
That some evil results from the use of the automobiles by students here is doubtless true; but that is the case in any modern community of 4,000 people. It seems doubtful whether the car evil is any greater at a state educational institution than anywhere else in Kansas.
But assuming that the automobile has no place in school life, why is
such a drastic measure necessary to abolish the pleasure car from campuses and student towns? Surely the student could be denied the use of a car while at school] without making it unlawful for him to drive an automobile at any time or place. That is quite a heavy penalty, to place upon a student simply because he is a student.
There is a very strong feeling among the students of the University that problems of campus discipline should be left to the administration. The students here have known for some time that the University administration has been considering the ear problem, and they have felt that some action would be forthcoming soon. The student body would take an administrative ruling in the same spirit that it would be given—that of mutual helpfulness.
If the state legislators would tamper with student discipline, they should acquaint themselves thoroughly with the problems as they are. To be specific, they should know that the student automobile evil-if there is one—prevents at the schools and not at the homes of the students.
"I am going to stamp out poke games among married women," lushes a New York judge. "Many men are ruined as the result of usbands stalling to keep their wives in the game," be raps. It seems to be a straight case of dealing in diamond jokes, when friend husband and "hugs," and decks himself with a new set of bills. We suggest a and clubs, backed by the Antisolar League.
AND NOW THE GREEK
A proposal, recently submitted to the state legislature, which would shields Greek letter organizations in state institutions, brings up an old, old question. Ever since that day, nearly a century ago, when the first college fraternity came into existence, the "Greeks" have been the butt of criticism and abuse—but of it deserved.
There was a time in the history of college fraternities when drinking and gambling occupied a rather too large place in the lives of the members. Hazing, too, was often disastrous for the neophyte. And many a man looks back over his academic training with a feeling of keen regret for the wasted years spent in an artificial environment with a snobish background. And there were certain other features—features one cannot describe—features we are all trying to forget.
It is in this past that the anti-fraternity man dwells; it is from this past that he draws his "facts" and his "statistics." We seem to forget sometimes that collegiate life in every phase has changed considerably since a century ago. There were unpleasant little discrepancies among administrations of some of those same schools at which Greek letter organizations ran wild. There were things winked at then by men who called themselves educators which would not be tolerated for a moment today.
The fact is this last fifty years has marked an almost incredible advancement along all academic lines. More is being required of the instructor, more is being required of the student, more is being required of the parent. And fraternal organizations have kept pace with this advancement. There are certain facts which speak for themselves.
The figures for last year show that sorority women at the University made a general average 3.406 as compared to 3.354 for non-sorority women in scholarship. Similarly, fraternity men made an average of 2.891 as compared to 2.771 for non-fraternity men. Such comparisons are usually quite odious. But, since someone has undertaken to eternally darn Greek letter organizations in the eyes of the people of the state, it seems only fair that the facts be presented as they actually are.
As regards the other allegations; drinking, gambling, dishonesty, and promiscuity—it would take a large-scale volume to present the facts on both sides. Generally speaking, these allegations are cowardly, biased, and manifestly untrue. Of course, there is always the exception who seems to

When one puts himself to the trouble to find the facts concerning the "great fraternity evil," he is inevitably reminded by these agitators of the fable of the fox and the sour grapes.
A small country newspaper in the state prints the following news story. It is a highly specialized example of conservatism.

The one room rural school can not be the "big man" school. You can a man and a girl and a typhoon trainer come in with you. We have a large office force of trained work teachers who help to help to help to step forward. Thousands of the most proximate employees our network used our kindergarten teachers. Our own university, our seventh so by employees. Any other method is not safe or effective. REFERENCE TEACHERS are wanted. This is why they are usually chosen by the most experienced teacher today for STEPING UPward.
