WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH LAWRENCE?
No, Oscar, a Taxi-deremist is not a man who mounts animals; he is a man who skims K. U. students of fifty cents when they wish to go to the depot in an automobile.
After Mr. Student has arisen early to study in the pulsating flickering electric light of the Lawrence electric company, he can get to his morning classes either by taking chances on the Lawrence telephone company connecting him with a Lawrence taxi and thus take chances on getting a taxi, for which he must pay fifty cents; or he can twaddle along on a flat-wheeled Lawrence street car and take chances on getting to the campus before moon; or he can drive his own jitney over the Lawrence cobblestone pavement, and thus shake his car to pieces or spend about twenty-five dollars for extra shock absorbers, and about seventy dollars for new tires; or he can, by his own pedal energy, climb the Lawrence mountain, Mount Oread, and thus take chances on breaking his neck.
"HE STIRRETH UP THE PEOPLE"
How we shudder at the "crimes" of our political prisoners—we, the people of the United States, whose Constitution guarantees the right of free speech, free press, and peaceable assembly!
So shudders the American Legion, that vanguard of divine enlightenment which passed and forwarded to the President, resolutions that our political war prisoners be retained in penitentiaries.
In other words, if men disagree with us, why tolerate them? Why not incarcerate them?—their Constitutional rights notwithstanding. Two thousand years ago we could have crucified the teachers of unpopular doctrines; today, unfortunately, we can only tar and feather them, or send them to Atlanta Prison to languish in a barren cell for ten years.
It is fortunate for us that organizations of concentrated intelligence, such as the American Legion, protect us from the harm of those teachers of "heretical" doctrine- the "heretics'" Constitutional rights not-withstanding.
It is regrettable that, in ages past, there was no valiant body of 100 percent Greeks—the Greek Legion, let us say—to have quickly cooped up Socrates. Socrates was the political gadfly of Greece. He was a peace-loving and peace-advocating teacher, but he was a "corrupting" influence because he disagreed with the political leaders of Greece.
It is regrettable that, in ages past, there was no valiant body of 100 per cent Romans—the Roman Legion, let us say—to have quickly copied up Lucretius. Lucretius was the teacher of new doctrines, but he worked in a afcoating atmosphere of vile wealth and military oppression.
It is regrettable that, in the early days of American history, we did not have a valid body of 100 per cent Americans—the American Legion, let us say—to have quickly cooped up Garrison. Garrison was a peace-loving and freedom-advocating man, but he was a "disloyal" influence because he disagreed with the pro-slavery political leaders of his day.
When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong. The minority are right. In every age the have been a few heroic souls who have been in advance of their time, who have been misunderstood, maligned, persecuted, sometimes put to death. Long after their martyrdom, monuments are erected to them, and garlands are laid on their graves.
Someday, when there is more genuine democracy and less so-called "loyalty" in this world, history will erect a monument to the memory of those who unflinchingly advocated "Peace On Earth"-however undipolicate they may have been. History will place garlands of honor upon their graves.
Right now, however, the American Legion and other public mentors, are petitioning the President that our political war prisoners be retained in penitentiaries.
The war is over, the Espionage act is no longer functioning, the aftermath of the Great Hate has brought its political corruption, crime, painuism, and illegitimacy—just as the Peace advocates contended it would—and yet our political prisoners, so prays the Legion, should remain in their cells.
We may not agree with Eugene V. Debs, but we know that "he stirrthe up the people."
He also "stirreth up" the American Legion.
Perhaps that is why we should crucify him in Atlanta Prison for ten long years!
A K. C. Star news item says that a western university recently adopted the honor system for examinations and after a vote was taken on the question it was found that 3,625 students voted when there were only 3,400 enrolled.
Plain Tales from the Hill
OH, PARDON ME!!
"What is the thing of most special interest about the little country of Morocco?" asked Professor Chubb, a French historian.
A silent class greeted his question.
"Well," he went on, "it is a very famous gambling den, and I personally have had the rare pleasure..."
At this point he was interrupted by a loud burst of laughter.
"... of meeting the Prince of Morocco," he continued with a wishing learn at his faculties student
A CAMPUS IMPRESSION
Cub Reporters:
The young brother in an art museum. The information desk in the Union station. An old lady at a football game. The Alumni office during the stadium drive. The picture book rah-rah boy. The questionnaire we filled out before we joined the army. The examining doctor for the insurance agency. A forty horsepower motor on a four hour power chassis. King Solomon himself. Right hand man to President Harding. A necessary nuisance. An embryo bovishseist. Something for the profs to blame their being misquoted on. Holders of the destiny and future of the University.
"What do you think of Kansas winning the Thanksgiving game?" an upperclassman asked a demi-liture girl.
"Why, you know," the latter bubbled forthaptureously, "I just had a feeling the game was going to go."
JAYHAWKS FLOWN
Hobart Curl, C21, was recently married to Miss Stella Moore of Cawker City, Kan. Mr. Curl, or "Hoh" as all his K. U. friends called him, has worked as a reporter for the Kansas City Journal until recently, when he moved to Omaha, Nebr. He is now reporting on oan Omaha paper.
Miss Clara Nigg c'21, takes time from her many duties to draw a few kind words to the Kansan from 211 Central Avenue, Flushing, N. Y. Miss Nigg is evidently a very busy woman. "I am finding New York rather lonely," she writes, "although I have been keeping most too busy to ponder over it much. I am with the N. Y. Board of Health as a would-be bacterologist and at present stationed at the N. Y. University Medical College, assisting in the class work and doing some state diphtheria and tuberculosis work as well as the former. In the evening we all gather in the capa- tion of the doctor Dr. A. Flora, editor of the Journal of Immunology—so you see I have two jobs and thus manage to spend most of my time at work."Twas ever thus."
Recognition is to be given women students in the College of Emporia who will wear low heels for three months, refrain from eating between meals, and sleep with their window open. These are provisions in the interest of personal hygiene contained in the curriculum of the Women's Athletic Association, recently organized.
