WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1926
One student is known to always be dressed on time. He has several large accounts with the clothiers.
AFTER LOCARNO—GENEVA
The promise which Locarno gave to the world of a new era among nations seem over-shadowed at the present moment by the controversy over council seats for Poland and Germany in the League of Nations, France, in her insistence on a seat for Poland if Germany is to be admitted, seems to have forgotten the spirit of Locarno in a last stand for the old balance of power idea in Europe. The determined opposition to the France-Poland stand has culminated in the present crisis.
Yet the situation is not without its brighter aspects. One is the gathering of many nations about the council table where these differences are being openly aired, rather than permitted to take the old routes of secret international diplomacy. Such gatherings suggest discussion as a mode for settlement of disputes rather than arms, which means a change of focus in international relationships.
Even more promising is the intense interest in the league situation on the part of the people of the nations concerned. Popular interest in such problems affords a real weapon for the solution of world illias, for statesmen will thus be held to strict account for their actions, which is primarily essential to any lasting pence. The breaking of the deadlock by the voluntary withdrawal of Sweden and Czecho-Slovakia from the council to permit Poland's election to membership seems halted for the moment by the opposition of Brazil. An adjournment may be taken to permit a longer parley.
Despite the present gloom, the signature powers of the Locro军 agreements have issued a joint commune attesting to their firm resolve to maintain and develop the work of peace realized there. Nations, as well as individuals, are thus forced to realize how imperative is the need for co-operation.
To err may be human, but no professor has returned an examination paper with an allowance, "10% for the human element of making mistakes."
ORATORY AN OBSOLETE ART?
Friday night, March 19, the Missouri Valley Oratorio contest will be held here. The representatives of six states will contend. The best of six schools will come.
Students are not interested in forensic contexts, judging by the crowds which attend. They feel that speaking is a lost art. Many feel that there is no longer need for the practice of speaking.
But oratory is not obsolete. The speaker is as powerful today as he has even been. The voice is still the first and principal means of thought communication. So long as we continue to think and speak, men will listen.
A woman student at Massachusetts Agricultural College recently said that our college songs need revisions. Why worry about the songs?
The state of Morelos in Mexico has seven governors and three legislators each claiming sole legal existence Texas should consider herself lucky.
THE WOMEN START WELL
We defy any political group on the Hill to consistently control women's politics. If the women display as much interest in future nomination mass meetings as they did in the first one Monday night. It is an actual impossibility, we believe, for one political organization to place certain candidates in office every time. Now things are now nicely split. There are from three to ten candidates up for each office. In nearly every case the old parties are represented, although the old political lines are not to be observed in this election. There is a sporting element of chance in this election. Each woman will treat freely around election time, for she known she can cast her ballot the way she desires. She knows she does not have to vote a straight ticket.
The candidates have a better chance, too. One may well expect from the present system the selection of higher type women for the offices. The woman who stands out as the most capable, the most friendly, the most understanding and the most desirable for office in other respects, is the one who will get the office.
The women are sinner. They have decided on a policy of clean, fair, progressive politics. Their mass meeting Monday night was clearly above board in every detail. And still the Men's Student Council sits by, worrying itself about other matters of little importance and neglecting to provide a clean and safe and open system of politics for the Associated men of the University, which it presumes to represent.
SHOW THEM A GOOD TIME
More than a hundred high school basketball will be our guests this week-end. Of course, the real purpose of their visit is to decide the state high school basketball championship, but there will be several hours while they are here when there will be nothing for them to do but walk around the campus.
WE MAKE ANOTHER RECORD
Show them a good time! Make them like the University, and make them want to become students here. If you've heard that William Smith of your home town is going to be here with the team, make it a special point to see him the moment he reaches Lawrence, and call him "Bill." Let's remove the impression many have that University students are "high bat."
The simple fact that our glove club and basketball team achieve honors does not indicate K. U. students are content to rest on their laurels. Apparently the impression prevails that a championship is to be awarded the student body for its non-attendance at forums, debates, and other intellectual discourses. We seem in a fair way to winning all awards.
The dearth of students at the many meetings arranged tends to confirm the charge of those who claim that social advantages and increased earning capacity, rather than service to society, are the main considerations in the choice of a college education. If these be the main incentives to higher education, the right to continued existence of our universities is seriously challenged.
At a university, intellectual interests are presumably primary. The genuineness of the interest is far more severely tested when the student's only reward is self-development rather than a grade for the effort. When speakers of national repute are brought to find an audience of something between fifteen and a hundred from a student body of more than four thousand, it seriously reflects upon our University as an intellectual center.
The attendance of students at events which are in accord with the fundamental precepts of education in a democracy may be taken as an index to student interest in ideas. If this be true, it indicates something of the disharmonious task confronting our faculty. But the fact remains that we are making a record—such as it is.

THE WANDERER
The ships are lying in the boy,
The gulls are swiping round their
spire;
My soul no eagler as they
Desires the margin of the stars.
So much do I love wandering,
So much I lose the sea and sky,
That it will be a pity thing
In one small procree to lie.
