SOMEWHAT ALIKE
TUESDAY, APRIL 5, 1921.
In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of Bee Massey and Johnny Porter.
When one stops to consider, there is a similarity between politics in the University and politics as they exist nationally. Which is the more honored by the existence of the other is a mooted question, and neither should maintain a grudge because of the likeness.
Let us consider, for example, the manner in which the candidates are put in the race. Nationally, the two parties hold conventions and ballot up on the candidate. Considerable publicity is given the event, and everybody is much interested. The situation at K. U. is only slightly different. The two rival factions hold secret meetings—not because they desire to keep their proceedings from the public, but for diplomatic reasons. Pow-wow are held in secluded regions in dark alley, or in the homes of some of the Lawrence members of the organization. Then, when the time arrives the tickets are announced.
The Student Council is what might be called a "presidential" form of government, and correspondes closely to the national government. There are not, however, two houses of the legislature—enough fun is found in a unicameral system. Nothing has been said, among recent agitation for reforms, about changing the system to parliamentary. Besides, the Kansas debate team was defeated the other night upholding the parliamentary system.
Mr. James G. Bryce, in his book "The American Commonwealth," lament the fact that great men are not elected to the highest office in the land because of the party system which necessitates the selection of a man who will make the best race, regardless of his qualifications. The same condition could hardly exist here. The Black Masks and the Pacachamacs must choose good men, or their cause would be lost from the beginning. For this reason, the competition between the two societies is a good thing.
The two flag bearers of this campaign, Mr. Porter and Mr. Massley, while they are not troubled with any questions quite so momentous as the adoption of the League of Nations Covenant or Armenian mandates, will have considerable on their minds for the next few days. As far as Philippine independence, the Shantung question and the tariff situation are concerned, the outcome of this election will make no difference.
But to make the analogy complete, which side will correspond to the Democratic party in the November election?
In order to avoid a rush on registration day students at the University of Missouri will be allowed to fill in online for advance for the spring-summer term.
AN APPEAL TO POETS
AN APPEAL TO POETS
Lord Jeffrey, that famous Scottish lawyer, essayist and critic, in commenting upon poetry in general, said:
"The end of poetry is to please; and the name, we think, is strictly applicable to every metric composition from which we derive pleasure..."
This definition reduces poetry to its simplest form—a form which a number of people can write. In its might be included anything from the sublime imaginations of a Kelley to the humorous verse found in certain present day magazines.
It allows, certainly, a wide latitude, and because it does so, and because it is the definition of a man of authority, there is, apparently, no reason why K. U. poets should hesitate about seeing their work in print.
That there are students in K. U. who can and do write good verse goes without saying. Therefore, inasmuch as the Kanans will be glad to publish any worthy material of this kind, it would seem that there ought to be more students willing to contribute. The ability to write verse is no small one, and neither is it something of which to be as ashamed, notwithstanding the attitude of a few people who don't know any better. Most people will agree with Coleridge when he said:
"Poetry is the blossom and fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts, human passions, emotions and language."
And, too, it migh bee well to remember that "one verse alone might make a perfect poem."
make a perfect poem."
