HARD ON THE IRISH
For the first time in eight years, a New York police station recently went twenty-four hours without a single arrest. Not an entry was made on the records of the police station, which, ordinarily, is one of the busiest in New York.
In accounting for this lack of crime, the supporters of prohibition may attribute it to the demise of old John Barleycorn, while a few reformists may even go so far as to say it is the result of inefficiency of the police force of the American metropolis.
But whatever the contention regarding the police of our country, reports from all parts of the nation indicate a material decrease in arrests and the number of prisoners confined in our jails since nation-wide prohibition went into effect. So it would seem, after all, that saloons and crime had a direct connection. Not all the police of our cities are corrupt and inefficient, and certainly not to such a degree.
And now that New York, which has strong claims to the honor of being the largest city in the world, is apparently, reforming, a large number of Irishmen will be thrown out of work, and the government will probably be confronted with another serious labor problem. And those who miss their morning "eye-opener" might take this into consideration in making their fight for the repeal of the law.
A Topeka newspaper advertises a combined pistol and knife. We like to encourage immigration of Boishevki into our state, it seems.
IT HELPS ATHLETICS
Aside from the benefits to the individual players, the Pan-hellenic League's season of basketball may result in helping out the University in its efforts toward the Valley title next year. Because of the rule barring Varsity or freshman squad men from playing on the fraternity teams, many untried athletes have appeared in the series of games. A large number of them have found so much interest in the court games that they have decided to get into it in real earnest.
Many a former basketball man who thought he would not have time to come out for the Varsity has now found it easier than he thought to arrange his work so he can get in some practice every day. Others who had lost interest in the sport found their old liking for it returning when the League race warmed up. Many of the Pan-helenic's stars have spoken to the coaches of their intention of coming out for the Varsity season.
The five-dollar fine for a team that forfeited a game or failed to appear has had much to do with the excellent way the League was held together through the season. Despite the interruption of the fu ban, the teams are still intent on filling out the schedule. The silver cup to be given the winner of the series by the Athletic Association will be a fitting recognition of the work the Pan-helenic League has done.
A K. U. professor has a better idea than that of using up the war material to signal Mars with a smoke screen. He proposes to get all the University students together in one place and pass around the Fatimas.
SELF-GOVERNMENT
The first objection to the proposed new constitution granting the men students of the University self-government is that it will not work. The argument rests on the basis that the men of the University are an immature group who do not have the capacity for self-government.
The first answer to this objection, not in a disciplinarian way so much as in the power to foster those constructive movements which are the outgrowth of student sentiment. It does not substitute the student mass for the present authorities. Instead it gives to these authorities the co-operation of the students concerned.
The question of the incapacity of the students for self-government deserves no answer. It will be an unfortunate time when university students, for whom the world is waiting for leadership in big affairs, are not able to lead themselves. The thought is unworthy of any loyal student. It comes only from the small politician with an opportunity to prosper under present methods of government
WHY DOES SHE?
Why does a chicken cross the road? That is a question that has worried us for a long time and no one has ever answered it satisfactorily. And after a walk over our campus a rival to the question arrose; "Why does a woman step in the middle of the side-walk to converse with another member of her sex?" For two weeks we have tried to find an answer to this question from the offenders themselves but with no avail.
Now we leave it to our readers to find some method of stopping this campus nuisance. We have thought of traffic cops that brings only more expense to the weak and meager treasury of the University. Physical force is out of the question for above all else the men of the University are gentlemen. The efficiency of the University is threatened we appeal to you for suggestions for campus counsley.
