THEY NEED. TO
Some one has ventured to remark that the smokers put on annually by the Men's Pan-Hellenic are getting cleaner and cleaner in moral tone as the years go by. To which one might reply that there is yet room for improvement.
There is a fundamental difference between humor as it can be portrayed by a gang of stags and as it usually is. There may or may not be an excuse for a trifle of suggestion—a bit of smut—in a program given by males to a strictly male audience. But when the element of humor is removed altogether and only the smut remains, it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Such is the case with many of the programs which have been put on at the smokers in the past few years.
Chief of police of Los Angeles quits because he was backed with nothing except prayer and he says that prayer isn't enough to eliminate the under world element.
The excuse is always the same. The fraternities that are supposed to put on the stuts put off preparation until a night or two before their appearance and then rely upon unadulterated filth to get them by. A conglomeration of obsession, served up to a bunch of men, never fails to draw a laugh. But it's a mighty poor substitute for entertainment.
DOES SHE MEASURE UP?
DOES THE MESSENGER CALL?
The question of whether or not the girl of today is equal to her grand mother in every respect is just as popular as it was a thousand and two years ago. Scarce a week goes by but some comment is passed—praise, or as, is more often the case, sweeping criticism. The most recent addition to the lists of the defenders is Miss Anne Ryland Smith, general secretary of the Connecticut W. Y. C. A. According to her, the 1922 girl is not a great deaf different than the demure maid o 1822 or even 1722.
"The American flapper of today," says Miss Smith, "is original, creative, and courageous, and also independent—but are not these all qualities which her ancestors at least desired to attain?" And we quite agree with her. True, the modern girl is different in many ways. She dresses in a mode that would have been altogether passe a century ago. Some of her manners would no doubt have been most insulting in a Victorian drawing room. But Miss Smith says, "if each generation followed only in the steps of the preceding one, the world would not progress very far." And that is just the point, exactly.
There are one or two fundamentals upon which the whole realm of womanhood is based. And if a girl raises the goal which the Almighty no doubt intended she should, it seems rather beside the point to squarble about the particular method which she chooses to employ. The modern girl wants a home and children just as badly as did
her mother. And she is just as eager to assume the duties, however distasteful, which fall her lot. What more rigid test would one wish to apply?
Upon one thing she insists. She must be independent. There you strike at the root of the matter. We complain because our daughters do not wish to be governed by the same rules in the selection of a mate as we were. One often hears the comment: "Why I didn't dream of doing such a thing when I was a girl." No, nor did your mother dream of doing some of the things you did when she was a girl—and so on, ad infinitum. Why, a century ago a girl was not even allowed to pick the man she married. Her parents attended to that. Miss 1922 is simply the most recent development of a struggle for independence and equality that is almost as old as time itself. And the fact that she is a bit startling at times is no indication that the world is going to the dogs.
If she is not at home enough, it is because we fail to make home as attractive as the dance hall or the picture show. It was easy to commercialize amusement and have "an evening or so in peace." Now that we see the consequences, of course we must put his bane on anybody's shoulders but our own. If she outdistances us, it is because we are too selfish to try to keep up.
Original, creative, and courage.—she's all that and more. Indirect at tim.s? Sure! A bit foolish too? Perhaps. But that is all veneer. At heart she is, goodly good.
It has just been discovered that flappers exist 4,000 years ago, and if this hey of criticism keeps up we will venture to say they will still be here 4,000 hence.
THE PENALTY OF BEING A JOINER
It is pleasant to read in the Kansan one's name as having been pledged to this organization and elected to that office, during the first semester but there is a severe penalty attached to anybody who is a "joiner" the second semester.
There are farewell dinners and final meetings which will be held from now on until school is out. At these meetings the treasurer of the organization will get up and explain how the deficit occurred this year and he will seriously suggest that a special assessment be levied. Of course this assessment will be passed by the entire group, although each groans inwardly. Then there are the expenses of the farewell dinners, luncheons, and picnics with their consequent committees to make the arrangements.
There are the emties caused by a person's being unable to get some dear friend into his organization and this dear friend thinks the person never tried and there are the disappointments one feels when one finds that some of the new members have turned out to be "blanks."
The feeling is bound to come that one is going to strike several anals during quizz week because the organizations have taken so much of one's time that he has failed to study enough.
It is surprising that ex-President Wilson, who was described as leaving the White House a broken man a short time ago, could cause so much disturbance among political circles by merely coming out of hibernation.
But on the other hand there is the satisfaction for a "joiner" that there main no organizations on the Hill of which he is not a member. Selah!
At Columbia University, New York City, a beginning has already been made of an imitation of a similar movement in France, where a few weeks ago 200,000 francs were contributed by students there, to the building of a great library at the University of Louvain, which was devised by the same person in France. The contribution of each individual was limited to one son."
A Women's Debating Team is being organized by the department of public speaking at Ohio State University. If the project proves successful, "Women's Debating Team will be making success stories universally. Ohio State is making attempts to interest the women of Michigan in debating.
Student Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
In there such a thing as unjust discrimination by the speed "cops" of Lawrence in their most commendable attempts to cue the running? I may be wrong, but I believe that the local police do discriminate between student arrests and traffic violations. Nor am I alone in my belief. I have heard other students making the same assertions based on facts and not prejudice. For proof of this statement, we, who rise to protest against such practices, cordially invite you to survey the "bookings" in police court records about students from the great number of University students who have paid fines for speeding, joy driving, and parking without lights, it would seem to indicate that students were a lawless set of dare devils whose spend their time racing recklessly up and down the thoroughfares of Lawrence. But we, who drive automobiles into campus—a small minority of students at our school—be known as such. Hence the protest.
Some of the Hilli autoists, who have had their cars "tagged" with a compulsory request to appear in the "kangaroo" court at 8 o'clock in the mornings, have claimed that discrimination has been shown in assessing fines for the same offence; some were allowed to "Scott free"; others were given the maximum financial penalty; a few were given the minimum; some "split the difference"; and a good number were given the most flowery line" and a captivating smile, were allowed to go unmolested, either financially or mentally, so to spak. I ask if this is justice? But let us get to a concrete case that happened in our fair city last week: I am a law-abiding citizen of the United States and heretoofe Lawrence. But when I was ascending Fourteenth the other morning, my "fliver" was hitting on three as usual, and I was making a desperate effort to make the grade. Seeing that I was not going to reach the peak of Mount Oread, and knowing that the opening of the cut-out gave an engine substantially more power, I opened her up in my final attempt. To conclude, I uped the hill, but the house bed me for driving out. Fourteenth Street mountain with my cut-out out. I know well that this is prohibited by ordinance, but to break the law was my only chance: I took the chance and won--yet lost five dollars to the city in police court the next morning.
Well, to conclude again, I am not bemoaning the loss of the money, although am not independently rich, justice. I have been attending the but I am objecting to the system of six years ago. I have lived near the Fourteenth Street on my time. I have watched about two dozen cars a day for every one of the 2,190 days go up the hill with cut-out open; few have been arrested, and rightly enough, for a driver needs every auxiliary to climb that 50 percent incline. I broke the spell and I suppose others in my wake. The local authorities are so scared that the city ordinances but there must not be discrimination; and either the grade on Fourteenth will have to be cut down or higher-powered engines built, if moristoris climb to the campus on that street. But things will probably continue as now. Yet there will be more murmuring from a few.
