The latest addition to K. U.'s building program — New speed signs sign at the outskirts of the campus.
THE "QUIZ" MIND
The drenched orded approaches. The gloom of quiz words hangs oppressively near. We tremble a little to think of it. We of us who have heard the clamour of battle, stood on the brink of Nigra, or, by any other turn, narrowly escaped death—tremble.
The great day arrives. We approach our doom with our minds loaded with blank ammunition. Our professors give us questions which, in their estimation, cover all the points of importance in the course. The week before, or even the night before, we were familiar with every angle of the subject, but the list of questions fails to arouse even a faint glimmer of recognition or association in our minds.
The day before we were in our natural mind, but the day of the quiz we are possessed with a "quiz" mind. Our "quiz" mind is so impressed with the importance of passing the examination that it fails to function otherwise. We wager a term's work against two hours and a half that our minds will function with the utmost precision. The stakes are too high. We have a wonderful chance to lose all—our minds, the two hours and a half, and the term's work.
Yet it is the one way to test our knowledge. In many ways it is fair; in many ways it is unfair. Up to this time it is the fairest way that has ever been instituted. All that we can do is abide by it and hope for a happy invention or discovery.
The next generation may, through the survival of the fittest, overcome the quiz mind.
Some people say that the Republicans are just starting up the soldier bonus talk again for political reasons. Be that as it may, the ex-service men will probably accept the bonus with thanks if it is offered them—and then go vote as they please.
THE PASSING OF PARTY RULE
Ever since time began, people have “taken sides,” on this question and on that. With the forming of governments, they banded together in cliques and called them “parties.” Each party had a candidate for every elective office; and, for years and years, the spirit that permeated elections, has been “MY PARTY, right or wrong, live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish.” It made no difference who the man, or what the issue, just simply MY PARTY!
Perhaps no better example of this spirit, even to the present day, could be found than that of the late Senator Boles Penrose, a regular stand-patter, a party boss, a party whip. Mr Penrose first became a Republican, and Republican he was always, through fire and flood, to the day of his death, although one of his colleagues declares that where non-political issues were at stake, the senator was very independent in forming judgements. To many men, their parties are infallible—"Can do no wrong" therefore they must and will follow the party's lead on any issue.
But we are beginning to feel a little change in attitude creeping into the political atmosphere. During the war, Democrate and Republicans joined forces in many instances; the question of the League of Nations furnishes an illustrated example of split parties in that period and the years just following. Many skeptics have declared, in comment on these divisions that such independence of party would die down with the settlement of war's appalling issues and that party lines would again mark the boundaries of political action.
Of course, there will always be the irreconcilables, but they can never claim the majority votes again. If Republicans vote through an issue supported in name by their party, it will be because they feel the issue is right; so will the Democrats, and every other party. The history of progress in this world has been one of constant breaking up of narrow, binding relationships. That there is, in the present day, a marked tendency toward ineffidence of thought and freedom of action on many questions, no one can doubt. It would certainly not be unreasonable, then, to expect party lines of the past to give way before the modern onslaught of impartial judgement. Indeed, it would be but a logical, natural consequence.
HOWATISM STARVED
Metropolitan papers last Friday carried a short story to the effect that the Illinois miners would discontinue aid to the miners in the Pittsburgh coal fields. It was an item of barely ten lines, but one of tremendous significance on the situation in the coal fields in Crawford county, Kansas.
Many of the Kansas miners lived as well on the food and clothing received from Illinois as they did when they were working. They were glad to follow Howitz if they could live in their usual manner without working. They followed the line of least resistance. Howatism meant food and clothing without working.
The aid from Illinois has been discontinued. It's a sad moment for Howat. It means that the eve of his rule in the Crawford coal fields is approaching. If a miner continues to stand by the Howat colors, in all probability he will do so on an empty stomach. If the miners follow Howat and his fortunes, they and their families go hungry. Even the most radical supporters will fall from the Howat ranks when they face the prospect of an empty breakfast table.
Already the miners are beginning to return to work. And as their supplies of food run out more and more of the men will report at the mines. The sympathetic strike is over. Howatism is doomed. It is to be crucified on the cross of hunger.
Student Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
Your editorial in Monday's paper raising questions regarding the site for the new library should promote discussion.
Of course, students and faculty have nothing to do with the selection of a site and probably cannot go into the matter carefully enough to be sure that we will know how to so harm to let us think that our views are worthy to be considered.
I don't pretend to know where the library ought to be although I admit a preference for the location north of Spooner, with the use of Spooner as one unit of the completed building. The style and construction of Spooner library is comparable to that of the university to me desirable to keep faith with the donors of buildings for specific purposes.
I do wish, however, to protest against the theory that Snow Hall must be torn down—at least in the near future. It is a building with many beautiful features. Its utility has been developed to the maximum. It maintains on the campus the name of one of our most illustrious chancellors.
If it is possible within reasonable limits of expense to give the building an additional fifty years of usefulness, it seems hardly consistent with a judicious use of state funds to allow another building to crowd it off the map when the campus seems by no means devoid of sites for new buildings.
Why not, perhaps, put the library north-east of Fraser?
Editor, Daily Kansan:
FACULTY MEMBER
However, I will not argue the decision of professional landscape architects, who it is said, have determined the new building's location. What I would like to see published in the Kansan, or spread broadcast in some other way, is WHY they have chosen that site. If it is a part of a big plan, let us hear of the plan. If it makes for a new, better-balanced and well-arranged campus, tell us why it will.
Just why the proposed site for the new library should be on the side-hill back of Snow Hall, or there-abouts, is strange to me. Surely there are other more convenient and more suitable places for its location.
Logical reasons, and information, on this point, will be read with interest by many K. U. people. Lead us to the light—otherwise, endure our condemnations of the site as proposed.
Plain Tales from the Hill
SENIOR
I was a 1:30 class in the higher reaches of literature. The professor entered. The class gasped. For the dignified and handsome instructor was wearing such a jacket as seemed only fitted upon a toiler or an old-clothes man. But the teacher did not apologize, and the well-trained class took their cue. Suddenly the professor felt the need of his glasses. An abstracted search followed, in vain. Suddenly the professor looked down at himself, then an awful expression swept over his countenance.
Let those who believe that there is more fiction than truth in the absent-minded professor jokes, harken to the following.
"I always knew I'd forget and wear my furnace coat to class someday," he gronned.
to class someday, but he goes
The final scene shows him fleeing down the hill at two-twenty to get his other coat before meeting his next class.
Contemporary Comment
From "The office to the about time for the midwife course" of "glad handers," the students who have failed to keep their work up to the proper standard, whether because they were indulging in talk-talk sessions, or "dating" or just plain lay. About this time these self-confessed failures will be slipping up to the instructor and asking foolish questions and trying to flatter the pedagogue into "letting them through easy."
THE GLAD-HANDERS
One popular professor made his Declaration of Independence. last spring when he informed the feminine members of his class that they had better study for next blue book along with the more males, "as no weeping and wallowing," and help them if they didn't know enough about the course to pass the fortheming blue book.
If your self-respect does not rebel at the thought of this "glad-handling" your common sense should warn you. The instructor has been through college too—perhaps even has "pulled" the same thing you consider so original. And, after all, the amount of time spent in "glad-handing" is usually more than that necessary to really pass the course on your merits.
MID-SEMESTER VACATION
Enter the Name, Normal Biblite
Why not make some change, so that the work of the first semester could be completed before school closes for the holidays?
Don't "elad-hand," it isn't worth 't.
According to the present arrangement, when students return after the holidays, they must take up the work of the first semester and continue it.
They so source get settled down to work again until the enrollment for the new semester takes place and they begin a new course themselves to a new state of affairs.
Students very often find it difficult to set up down to hard work for several days after a vacation.
Then too, the feeling of satisfaction that always comes from knowing that a task has been completed would make her vacation a great many students.
If a new course of study could be taken immediately after the bells dawn a period of adjustment to new conditions would be eliminated.
