BAR THE POOR DRIVERS
The committee on causes of accidents of the national conference on street and highway safety recommended to Secretary Roerow that all drivers involved in accidents be given a special examination. This "would lead directly to the means of reducing accidents most effectively."
It has been proven by statistics of the motor car accidents that most of them result from ignorance of regulations and customs; insufficient strength, quickness, or skill in controlling a motor vehicle; serious defect of sight or bearing; defective intelligence and temperamental or emotional inability to do the right thing in a sudden emergency. Drinking has had its part also, but alcohol sometimes has received blame which really belonged to one of these other ineabilities.
To remedy this death rate from motor accidents the most probable and logical solution would be to have the applicant for car license pass an examination, and granting a card with the licence if he was capable of passing the test
MID-WESTERN BASKETBALL
Interesting information for Stai Beams: The Bow Wah Co., of Moorenci, Ariz. is not a dog dog stand but a grocery concern.
Monday morning some thirty old basketball teams gazed with covetous eyes upon the cup which is emblematic of the National basketball championship, to be given to the winner of the tournament being played in Kansas City, Mo., this week.
Among these thirty-two entrants were representatives from the west, the north, the south and the east, in addition to a goodly number from the middle west.
It is interesting to note how these teams fared in the first round of tournament play. Three California team, the pick of the state, were among the first to fall by the way-side. One of the two representatives from the south took a drubbing, with the other winning by an uncomfortable close score—and so it went. The beginning of the second round found three teams from Kansas still in the going, along with five from Missouri, including the Hillyards and K. C. A. C., both made up large of former Jayhawker stars. Eight out of the sixteen were from Kansas and Missouri, and the greater majority of the others from the comparatively close vicinity.
Some divine providence seems to ordain that these mid-western teams, especially those of the Missouri valley, shall continue to hold the upper hand in the maple court sport.
Is it only a coincidence that the same issue of a newspaper which informed us that Mississippi has passed a law reinstating Greek letter fraternities told of the legislature of that state prohibiting the teaching of evolution in the public schools?
A chain of restaurants has the slogan "A Meal a Minute." Some meals are scanty, but we never thought it would come to this.
Seniors are busy thinking up excuses to tell the insurance agents for not taking policies. That is a problem of the graduating class that is seldom listed with the others.
THE FALLACY OF NATIONS
RULACAUS
Six months ago the spirit of Lorca, with an intertwining of nations and of peace, pervaded the world. Today this spirit, which was essentially of benevolence and equality, has been overshadowed by the old militaristic idea of "balance of power." Suspicion, avariance, mistrust and ambition again have conquered humanitarianism.
Two weeks ago prospects for the amicable co-operation of the world powers was promising. Hope ran high for the assurance of future peace. The United States senate voted to enter the World Court. Germany decided to seek unconditional entrance into the League of Nations. A disarmament conference seemed imminent.
Today these prospects are shattered. A rift in the League, caused by mistrust of Germany's attempt to enter, has revealed the attitude of the Latin nations. These nations, with France and Italy as a nucleus, do not want Germany in the council unless they are able to outvote any possible combination between Great Britain and Germany.
And so the out-worn "balance of power" that has dominated world politics since the Congress of Vienna in 1814 comes into the limelight today. The spirit of nationalism, which originated it, has passed into a more cosmopolitan vision. But the subsequent militaristic idea of exploitation and grendlement persists, and precludes the philanthropic co-operation of the nations in the preservation of peace.
The beauty shop business is apparently on the decline. At any rate, they're opening these shops for dogs in England.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
Fort Sumpter has been fired upon. The first cannon in the annual spring political battle cracked with a big bang in the Sunday Knee. And then that "big bang" is not so much of a simile as one might think, for, truly, what was printed under the heading of "Puchchin" would be to a shell thud. No doubt the other party will come in the near future with a similar line of bunk, and away the two old parties will go, battling each other over nothing new.
Pachacuchan fired first, with their four column "News" filled with meaningless chatter concerning the election of a cheerleader and impertinent statements that the party is "in the open." Black Mask now appears to have been issued issue of their paper in an effort to refute the ideas set forth in the Pachacuchan News. What can Black Mask say in opposition? Where will they the two parties draw their points of variance? Of course, no one can express these views as printed in the "News," since the two parties are so much agreed on their viewpoint of student problems. In the past the two parties seem to have resorted to the drawing of lets to determine which of the several real issues each party will face. In this case, running on this basis, be justified?
Pachacamac has declared itself to be "in the open," and has printed the names of its senior members. No doubt, this action was prompted by the accusation in a recent "Campus Opinion Journal" that Pachacamac secretly "behind closed doors." Publishing the names of the men who meet secretly does not remove the fact that two small groups of men are controlling politics on the Hill, and that the "ordinary" student does not have any voice whatever, whereas those students at the school that students an a whole, in the past, have been bunched repeatedly into believing that Black Mask and Pachacamac were the only mediums by which students could be elected to office. In the past students have felt that Pachacamac for granted and have completely neglected the rationalizing process.
Why can't some think students, with these obvious facts staring them in the face, rise up and assert themselves in an effort to bring about a more effective student election than exists at the present time? Students who truly have the best interests of the University at heart should not miss this splendid opportunity to serve their Alma Mater.
Pachacane has shot the first volley; and we can expect something equally as bad from Black Mask. P. H.
Those of the faithful who gather in the auditorium of central Administration building last night to hear Carol Robinson speak, they heard a consumate artist. Miss Robinson plays with personality and instills some of herself into all of her work. As a pianist, she is not always easy way, and her playing is already remarkable for the finish and chirality of tone, usually attained by a pianist only after more years of concert work. Carol Robinson could possibly have done.
At the Concert
(By Frederick McNeil)
The artist was generous, but not effusive, in granting extra numbers and the audience was unusually appreciative for a Lawrence audience.
The program opened with a Scarlett ("Pastorale") and "The Cuckoo" by Daquin, numbers which were too much in the same swinging spirit of delivery that characterized his play, played with proper appreciation, but should have been placed in less close proximity on the program. "Gavotte," a Gluek-Brahms arrangement, was played with almost cloying sweetness in its sugary movements, while the "Toocenta" (Gluek-Hauer) emphasizes the musician's staccato playing.
The Beethemov "Sonata" and the Brahms "Rhapsody" (in E flat) which made up the second group of numbers were both played with a deep feeling of their purpose—the "Sonata", with a swing which was majestic in spots, and the Rhapsody, with a melancholy and sadness. Following the second group, Miss Robinson gave her interpretations of the lovely "Gigur" from Bach's "Bflat Partition."
The two Liszt numbers, "Concert Eude in F Miner" and "Dance of the Gonnes," and the Chopin "Barcarolle" were stimulating to the hearers in the effective use of contrast by the player. The last group opened with
an unexpected short "Poeme" by Scribain, continued with the Debussy "Valse", reached a high pitch of inspiration in the Dances, and ended in the Spanish heights with De Falth's "Amalzuk" and "Ritual Damee of Fire". The barbarous mute of the last number made it distinctive on a program of
The极喜 "Spanish Dance" & Grundes and "Bourne Fantasie" of Chabrier were played by Miss Rohan following the end of her program in response to the insistence of the students to the program, which while it was modern in spots, was still an attractively conventional as the audience could have wished for. Some there were who had baked hear more of the medieval music than they knew, but a better balanced program (except in the case of the first two numbers) would be hard to find.
