Fourteen fraternities and sororites have decided to allow their members to vote according to their own decision instead of according to the dictate of a law. What happens is that what appears on the surface. If this is really what the result is to be, the Hill at large will benefit. If it merely means that a new party would happen, it will be worse than ever. Mushy, it will be worse than ever. It is possible that the reason behind the withdrawal of the Black Mask party was primarily its defeat in the election, and those reasons are less important than results. A Kamau editorial on Feb. 10, 1928, entitled "The Student and Politics," stated, "the result of the withdrawn of a few prominent fraternities from the political mess would be the splitting up of one party and the death of the other from lack of any excuse for existence." Whether that prophecy will be borne out may now be determined. There is only one party in the field. That party can be only a fraternity combine whose only purpose can be the passing around of offices among the various member groups. It is inconceivable that the voters will allow such a condition to exist. Either there must be another real party, which would only mean more pie-slicing, or the elections must be placed on a petition or convention basis or managed on some better plan. The withdrawal of one party from the field is a signal for administrative action creating a new election system WHEN BEAUTY ISN'T BEAUTY Comparatively speaking, the depression in the earth's surface out at Sharon Springs is much smaller in proportion than would be the dent of a pin point on the surface of an apple. So why be alarmed. How queer human nature is! How much the mood, the expectations, the wishes of a human being enter into his description of a situation! If such a snow as fell last week had come Christmas week it would have been heaped as fitting and beautiful. Remember Thursday morning? Snow had fallen all Monday night, all day Tuesday and Tuesday night; Wednesday was clear and some of the snow melted. The water on the pavement and the half-melted snow froze and Thursday morning large, fluffy white flakes were again slowly settling to earth, covering up alike both the snow drifts and the places which had been blown hard during the last snow. A pretty sight it made. But the soft snow gathered on people's shoes and later made them slip and probably fall. Moreover they were expecting spring weather, so that they were not in the mood for more winter. Although the last covering of white really made the earth lovely, and the slowly falling snow allowed to settle gently by the air quiet formed a beautiful screen through which to view the landscape, everyone was grumbling about the kind of a day it was. Human nature! nora says he is sitting on a volcano. Evidently he did not choose a very appropriate place to alight when his bubble burst. ROMAN HISTORY Men are conceived. The women have always said so, and occasionally they cite facts to prove the statement. There is one month in the year when the entire human race harries and auras, ever-exciting itself in an attempt to get a month's work done in 28 days. The layman is taught to believe that it is necessary for February to be shortened to 28 day; "with one day added in four" in order to make our calendar come out right. But such not the case, February originally had 30 days and might have had that number yet with one day added each fourth year, it had not been for the consents of a man—or rather two men, Julius Neapolitan Caesar. Julius Caesar, he will be remembered, revised the calendar, and it's a pretty good thing he did, for the world has profited more from his having asked the astronomer Sorgenges to work over the calendar than it has from his having crossed the river Rubicon over in Tuscany. If he didn't cause the revision we would have been pretty well humfuzzed in our dates by now. The first of the year would be coming on March 1, and it would now be 2023 instead of 1926, due to error in calculating the length of the year. So it was entirely all right for Julius Caesar to rub his hands and view his work with satisfaction, and his appropriating the month Quintilus and renaming it July, after himself, might be overlooked. But it was nothing hat parce censure that led him to steal a day from February and add it to July, so that his month might be equal in length with the august, for Quintilus had originally ad only 30 days. Julian was followed by Augustus Caesar, who manifested the same male characteristic, self-conceit. Augustus felt that a month should be named after him also, although no calendar reform of any sort was basal for an ercune. So he appropriated the month Sextilis, which had 30 days, wrapped a day from February and adDED it to it to make 31, and named it August. See what two men with power and balloon tire conception of their own sportiness can do! Keep one eye in Mussolli. MOON-HOWLERS In spite of the fact that the weather man has been cheating us out of spring weather for more than a month, signs of spring are daily coming to the front. All through the student section, groups of would be musicians lunge on the porches and bowl at the moon. The fact that the moon hasn't been shining during the winter period just passed, makes no difference to the howlers. They have learned that the moon is somewhere between the clouds. The whining sax andinking banjo inform the world that "I love my baby." The would be musicians pound that fact into the head of the would be student across the street until he gives up his work and reaches for his kazoo. Another evening is gone and the term report still lies neglected on the colwebb shelf. But there is a bright side. Appreciation of good music must have been advanced by the torture of listening to the howlers. A GRAIN OF SALT The usually quiet little town rose up Tuesday and through the use of the sacred ballot declared itself. A former preacher, advocate of liberal interpretation of certain sections of the Bible, was elected mayor of the fundamentalist candidate, a retired professor by a majority of 110. Clarence, Mo., will read its Bible with a grain of salt. The town is now a liberal stronghold. The fundamentalists seem to be in the minority. Since the majority generally rules in Missouri, it appears that the fundamentalist forces in Clarence will have hard sledding for a whirl. The retired farmer candidate can retire again, Clarence can live with its grain of salt and keep the bacon tight of liberalism shining. The much-discussed working student is usually thought of as an individual extremely limited in means. He is pletured as the careful, frugal student who is working, saerrifing and saving in order to secure an education. UNFAIR COMPETITION But there are several so-called working students on the University of Kansas campus who do not fit this description. They maintain their own cars and in other ways seem to be financially independent. Apparently they are not working because of necessity, but from some other motive, difficult to determine. These students are being unfair in two ways. In the first place they are unfair to themselves, for they are needlessly allowing work to prevent their making the most of their college opportunities. If a university education is worth while at all it is surely worth a man's undivided efforts and attention. In the second place these students are occupying positions which should be left to students who really must earn their own way. Campus Opinion Not much need he said to the man who is narrow enough in his vision to cheat himself by trying to work and go to school at the same time when it isn't necessary. But a good deal can and should be said to him for monopolizing jobs which should he left for students who need them. "Want't it the best play?" "That show was the biggest thrill!" "I've never seen better acting in lawrence." These were some of the comments heard after the final curtain on the performance of "Candida" by the Kansas University Players. But how many of these persons can back stage after the play to react? They would have enjoyed hearing the comments more than any one Imagine the players after the show wondering whether they had pleased and not be able to find out except from a very few appreciative persons who woot back stage. It is quite customary at any theoretical performance for the audience to express their enjoyment of the entertainment so why can't the people of Lawrence be given more than the actors played before the audience of last night because I heard one of the leads say, "It was the easiest and most sympathetic audience I've ever played before in Lawrence." So if we like the show tonight lets be stage wise and express our approval to the actors, -D. T.
