FRIDAY, MAY 21. 1926 A CHALLENGE TO THE COMMONS Next year a great deal is to be expected of the University Common. The students are demanding that the cafeteria furnish a variety of good food at low prices, and the administration is requiring that the Commute be a self-supporting proposition. These are reasonable demands. The indebtedness handicap which has existed for some time has been completely removed; the Commute has not been able to give service to the students. It does not have to pay dividends, and even if it did, it would be under no waiver handicap than the regular eating places of the town. There is no reason why the Computer cannot meet its demands; made of it, both the students and by the teachers are capable of that it can and expects it to do so. OUR SKEPTICISM Charley Padlock, in breaking the world's record in the 100-yard dash was led to within a few feet of the tape by a University of Southern California Newman. Now who dispatches the old menagerie? "And a child shall lead them." The state of Nevada today enacted the death of two criminals who had committed murder in the first degree. One had killed his 70-year-old mother and the other his 16-year-old sweetheart. Beyond a double each deserved to die, yet the method of execution has been severely criticized by many and sanctioned by only a few. In an air-tight chamber they fall asleep after infiltrating lethal gas. Apparently there was no pain, no physical suffering, no mutilation of the body. America is outstanding, compared to the older countries, for her willingness to accept new ideas—retain them if they are good—discard them if they aren't. As a people we are usually ready and willing to accept scientific improvement and advancement. When the laboratory discovers something new we are quick to accept it and discard the old. We accept and apply modern science along some lines only—we absolutely refuse it along others. Especially, we refuse to apply scientific methods to social problems. Thus our progress is hampered and impeded along these lines. We are willing to accept all sorts of improved methods of living it comfort and ease, but we are skeptical of a better way of dying. We prefer the traditional, conventional terrible way. "SPITE FENCES" In a city not far from Lawrence there is a well-known "spite fence" which binds mutt evidence of the meanness of human beings. One man, in order to spite his neighbor, built an unsightly fence which marrs the beauty of his own property far more than it damages that of his neighbor. Many of us have built ourselves mental spite fences against some perverse influences and thereby constricting our own breath of mental view as well as brewing bitterness in our own souls. University training should be reflected by the destruction of mental spite fences, and the broadening of the mental outlook which is so often stressed. RECORDS Some 18 years ago a man circlec the world in the record time of 25 days, 21 hours and some few minutes. Today with all the rest of the record-breaking that has been on there is an attempt on foot to get around the world just a little faster than the above even time. Once again the airplane is to be called into service and of the 18,000 miles to be traveled, Goldstorm the adventurer expects to fly 11,000. The steamship companies that he will are all planning to make special efforts to help him. Added to this fact he has 12 years of improvement in all other transportation he may use. Surely with all these facilities success should be at hand. It is a long way around the earth in such a manner that ship by ship by boat than they have ever done before. A new record will be made. How will the new record look 12 more hours? A COMMENDATION It is not often that the Kanagan pauses in its round of skipping, knobbing and booing to drop a few words of commendation for some member of the faculty. There are a few, of course, who get the publicity they deserve, but the average instructor gets little thanks for his efforts. The men of the Kanagan has in mind is in no sense of the word an officer or a man of great man than even those who are in daily contact with him realize. This man is Dr. Dismee Alder, head of the department of astronomy. Those who have been in his classes know his genius for making his lectures clear, colorful and interesting even to the student who has no scientific background. TD the average data the fact that in five years Doctor Alte put in some five thousand hours of computation in determining the relation of sun rays to cycle of rainfall in addition to his regular work norms very little. Yet his findings may be of great practical value in the future for determining weather forecasts. Some men would capitalize such a reputation and themselves of wealth, but he does not. He is human and not the crank or female that many scientists are suspected of being. Appreciation is due him for the work he is doing in his field, and for his service to the University of Kansas. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kumann: "Not a Freshman" I want to apologize to the freshman about whom I commanded rather astonishingly in Tuesday's Cannon Opinion. The situation in which this student is probably excusable; freshmen can not be expected to have toward the freshman cap the attitude that is brought on with increasing years. If a freshman are normal divides themselves into feel about the cap as do all of the graduates of whom Kannan is proud. It is unfortunate that along with the many who constitute our loyal team, freshmen may be included those "black sheep" who are unable to fit into this kind of environment. These men see nothing about the University which would make it differ in character from a graduate. You may enter, order what you want, pay for what you get, and consider the transaction at an end. This situation is not excusable, and those students are of this group and admitting only to appreciate that particular kind of value; they are not able to convince others that no such value exists. Correspondence schools carry students with this kind of students. And to the members of the freshman class, let me express the hope that you do not fall into such a rut when you become upperclassmen, even though there will always exist a small number who do. It is in view of the fact that there exists this compulsory requirement to be more decorable than your own, that I express the hope that my apology will be needed. Editor Daily Kansas: Editor Daily Kanun: Joyce Dunn, Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. G. A., blended by the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council, are trying to put something over on us that has happened in this time has died down, they start up another. A short time ago it was the president of our "beauty" —classroom homely. I wonder if the Christian Assoc. I wonder if the Christian Associations think that they will make even All Seniors who expect to receive degrees in June and those completing their work at the end of the Summer Session who plan to take part in the Commencement exercises, must fill out our application cards for degrees at the beginning of the semester. You should digitize the dpi image prior to not later than late June. GEORGE O.

GARVEY, President. BETA CH1 SIGMA; a alight impression on any student, Of course, the week preceding finals is usually a time when students maintain the forgetful students will be reminded to prepare their "cribe" as soon as possible. But to think that they are going to stop cheating, in real life, the biggest buffers and the ones who can keep from getting caught is the longest Almost any unbiased thinker can see that as long as there are people who have not always been war. The same argument applies exactly here: as long as there are students at the University of Kansas, as long as there are students of choreas, since a majority of both men and women on Mr. O'Dreave have worked in human service work. You cannot change human nature. Adam and Eve led to God, and ever since, disobesty has been an adult problem. I hope the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. against classroom misconduct attempting to further their movement against classroom misconduct that such anline statements as "Hon- don, please refrain from making date, and I suggest that the associac- tions stop their present campaign be- havior," advocating an entirely impractical program, just one each think it out Editor Daily Kansan: At the Concert (By Frederick McNeill) This is about as consistent as most of us are when it comes to campus tours. The people we invite we'll vote for the honor system (three needs if need be) it's probably a good idea, but there's no right down to our own quizzes well of course, that's different in our school than at most and if we get a chance to slip something over on that Proof—well, we're all in on that. Just stop a minute! Just what is campus honey anyway? Are we honey because we have the best policy," or are we honey because it isn't in us to be dishonest? It's easy and clever, too, to do the right thing. But don't use "policy." It's a little harder to be honest when we could have cheated with it on our own, or honest with our honey as a principle. In the K book we fgd this statement. "You are on your honor at Kanaka, and you are in an emotionally, but do we ever stop to sink that the responsibility for the ruth or falsity of that statement is to be addressed, not on my honor at Kanaka?—H. M. A program of unigual charm was presented by Fiske Mountain, violin pupil of Prof. Karl Kauercizer, in Fraser Hall last night. The number was dragging on account of excessive length of any number. The Viviald concerto, which opened the program, was a happy introduction to the excellent playing of Mr. Wittgenstein. He is a man without affectation or useless flourish, and possesses a firmness of tone and vivacity of execution which lend his hearts to the hope of a real career. The score is of depth than he now commands. understanding which are unusual in a young violinist. The final group contained the ever popular "Alr" for G-tringing by Bach, and the Kreisler "Lieberfreund". The latter was bribed into containing a charming minuette poem. The Krumper "Clunt Negre" showed a trace of African jacquz, but the climax of the evening came with the playing of "Precdulum und Allegro" by Pamela n-Kreisler. This number has been heard here several times this week. Her previous performance it was a joy to hear Mr. Mountain's intervention last night. The accompanies of Lee Greeco zero nlways accurate, and were a distinct support to the violinist, who knew him than one when his memory failed. The Wieniawski "Concerto in D Minor" was played with a breadth and Did you ever taste a real good malted milk, ice cream soda, etc.? Well, you get them at the HILLSIDE PHARMACY 9th & Ind.
