WANTED: A REAL JOB It has been good fun, roommate this playing at student government and you and I have hold various and sundry offices under the good old system and have, therefore, been duly mentioned in our home town papers as "prominent students at K. U." But we haven't seen ourselves about the importance of these offices, have we? MONDAY, APRH. 26, 1926 One of these days we're going to look, an students, for the last minute on old K. U., so why shouldn't we think just a little of the future of student democracy? Let's. It is true that a larger percentage voted at our last camp election then did at the elections of almost any school in the country. But why? Don't you know, Iqbayo, that if every organized house didn't send its members to the rolls to elect someone brother, that the total vote would look like an estimate of the number of snakes in Ireland? And the number of independent voters will continue to dwindle at each succeeding election. Why? When we were children and not barefoot for are you too tired to remember these days? ) we used to build toad-frog houses in the sand. It was great fun, but of course someone or something was always teasing them down. But we grew older and our enthusiasm for building toad-frog houses cooled. We haven't seen a University student out building toad-frog houses since we've been here. And so it is with student government. Every student, except perhaps a few freshmen still treasuring the illuminated, known that the powers of the two student governing bodies are mostly nonexistent. They originate rules which are never enforced, pass recommendations which are never carried out. Legislation which means anything does not originate in these august bodies. It comes from the powers that be. The student governing bodies are mere figuresheads and they know it. This fact has killed their independence, anothered their initiative, and made them content to do the blinding of "them what is" and let well enough alone. The confidence of the voters in the importance of the offices he been killed. They now vote for the man, not because of his ability, but because of his personal attractiveness. They know that it doesn't make any real difference. But if the students are given power, uncontrolled by supervision, can they be trusted to use it with wisdom and with care? The student body of the University is composed entirely of people who have, at least, a high school education. That cannot be said of the body politic of this nation of ours, and this nation governs itself and has done so for several generations. Real student government is a big job. Before the administration will consider putting so much power into schools, there must be a demand for it. Let's ask for that job. "Gasoline Station Edible by Three Armed Bandits," says a headline. Rather peculiar specimens, we would say. According to statistics compiled from newspaper reports 114 per cent of the inhabitants of Moscow are now in the United States, polluting the public mind by delivering speeches. Most of us pride ourselves on our capacity for free, open-minded thinking. Few of us will admit that our thinking processes are bent and warped frightfully by personal interests and prejudices—yet such is the case. THE WAY WE THINK Quito a group of us right now are reasoning, quite logically we think, that the faculty should wear caps and gown at commencement—we are the seniors. Others, try in they may can't see any excuse whatever for spending money for caps and gown—they are the faculty who would have to foot the bill. There is a group on the Hill each full fall who can present an encyclopedia full of reason why the fresh must be packed—this group is composed of upper-classmen, who were paddled in their day. Another group, to save their necks, can't see anything to be gained by paddling freshmen—they are the freshmen. Many think that the date rule is all but—the they are the students who like to date. Others can argue like a Webster in favor of the date rule—the they are the people not interested in having dates. Right at this time of year there are many who think the universe was founded for love and lovers—the they are the ones who have recently fallen in love. There are others who are absolutely sure that it is all so烈—they have already passed the stages, and perhaps been disappointed. Many of an think that the best Palin views in the column are those which hand the Independent party a package—weary Pachmachiens, others of us thought the recent ed in the Kanan which handed the Pachmachiens a good old dije was a huge joke—we and Independents. And so each thinks on, from his own viewpoint. The writer of this editorial thinks it is a humdinger—because he wrote it. Those who read it will think it is idle nattle. It may be true that citizens of Chicago lost 342 years of sleep the night it indulge saving time was put to effect, but the police force and the initial girls will make it all up in a two month. OUR SINGERS A reader of the JournalWorld has grown aware of listening to Americans can singers trying to sing in all the known languages of the world except their own, and wonders just why we have a language if it is more grand and glorious to use someone else's. We have to quarrel to make with a recognized artist, who is master of more than one language, and can use all of them effectively in song. But it does seem rather food-forward for an amateur, far from a wonderful snippet at best, to attempt to give a song in a language with which he has a measure amaintance. But the biggest joke of all is the one pulled by the singer who does not English, yet succeeds no nobly in twisting and straining his pronunciation that no one in the audience can understand a single word. The average American audience doesn't feel so much conatention at having Italian or something of the sort song to it that it cannot understand. But it rises to righteous indignation upon having English which it can't under stand song "it" it. The Hill statistician figures, that one man starting work this morning can finish picking the candidate personal election cards on the campus by 10:19:32 on the morning of May 1, working ten hours a day and six days a week, picking up one card every two seconds. It has been definitely announced that no further issue of the Sour Owl will be published this year. The Owl will meet with approval on the campus. The Owl for the past year has been pretty soar in spots, and the staff will do well to rest on its oars for the rest of the semester and ponder over its past shortcomings. Not that the Owl has been entirely bad—it hasn't. All of the issues published have had good spots, and one issue was especially good. But in the others, just as they were about PRETTY SOUR to attain the desired standard, undesirable features have loomed up. These undesirable features, it appears, have crept in more through misalignment than through a desire to print the undesirable. Sigma Delta Chi, the journalistic Fraternity which published the Owl, doubles his ability to put out a first class humorous magazine, such as the Hill deserves and appreciates. So it is hoped that the publishers will profit by their first year's experience with the Owl, and by next year have their difficulties ironed out and their organization so perfected that they can publish a magazine that will be a credit to the University, and敏捷ly, to a group of journalists. It is elitened that the widest youth grow into the most cramped old people. It is a wonder some pessimist hasn't thought to remark that the next generation will certainly have a crabbed bench to culture. 1. Find Lovely Human Type—says a Star headline. So at last we shall be given an opportunity to see just what the "m" man in the world" looks like. At the Concert --at Dean D, M. Swarthout proved first rights that Lawriee can produce and support a musical effort of the first magnitude. The occasion was the singing of Handel's "The Messiah," and the proof was attested by the excellence of the choral work done by the Lawrence Union. The charnes are the attractive features of the Mausilis for the sound audience, and last night's audience was no exception. The work of the charns has improved markedly over that of last year, and with the exception of the abentim "sim", the interpretation of the charns left nothing to be desired. Of course there was a reluctance of attack used with large groups of singers, many of whom are without training. But the tension has been reduced to a minimum by Dean Swartbuth. The director sometimes has to use hectic narratives to keep the attention of the audience, but if he does, an unpleasant Mrs. George (Genevieve Rice) Cowden sang the soprano solos acceptably, despite the obvious handicap of a bad cold. Frederick Gerhardt cowed in the contralto parts and won the audience with her superiority and simplicity. "He Was Designed" was a revolution of religious and dramatic sincerity. The motion of Belionna could be so effective that she can feel to that Mrs. Downing could not be heard effectively, but her singular certainty wore a large part of the audience, despite a rather marked break between the upper and lower voices. "Comfort Ye My People" and "Ecly Valley" sung by B. Freed Wise, Chicago torment, were not as well done as the performances last night but had nothing without that purity of pitch which marks a finished performance, but he won his boners as the performance advanced by his evident passion and emotion for the music which he was singing. By all odds the outstanding soloist of the evening was Herbert Gould, whose well rounded bass is not now to Lawrence. Mr. Gould's ease of singing makes the ford passages, which are such nightmare for most bassists to sing, almost mite in appert. The instrument's agility is through, and many of his numbers were aung last night without the aid of the text. The orchestra was well trained, and kept under the soloists most of the time. The musicians were stone wonders with his musician, and they responded to the direction of the conductor. The feature of the evening, however, was the choral work, and hearers will remember the quality of "And The Glory of the Lord." *O Thou That Teltest Good Tidings.* "For Unto Us a Child Is Born," *Hail the Father* (p. 596). Long after the work of the soloists has been forgotten, Dean Swarthout has built a singing group which compares favorably with any group of its type in this part of the country. He has preserved the delicate balance of shudging so attractive in choral singing, and so difficult to situate in a chorus setting, that it is used for both music and buisses as is the case with the Lawrence chorus. "The Mission" is essentially an expression of religious faith; Dawn Squirethat has made of it the expression of the musical feeling here in the University and the community of All praise to such a director!
