SHALL ALL OR ANY WEAR IT
If the faculty do not desire to comply with the resolution adopted by the senior class and wear caps and gowns at this year's commencement, would it not be just as well for neither faculty nor seniors to appear in academic costume?
It is a tradition in other universities that the faculty wear the cap and gown at commencement. The seniors believe that the tradition is one worthy of establishment at Kansas.
The main argument advanced by those opposed to the idea is that too much expense is involved; but the seniors feel that faculty members are as well able to bear the expense as most of the seniors, and it is due as a courtesy.
The resolution is simply a request on the part of the graduating class. Will the faculty see it in this light and do their part towards associating tradition and beauty with education once a year?
THE PROHIBITION POLL
"Red headed Wichita girl falls in love with murderer and marries him," truly — "Nobody Can Tell What a Red Headed Mamma Can Do."
One of the most fascial campaigns ever undertaken by metropolitan newspapers is the so-called national prohibition poll now being conducted by twenty large dailies. The dews are already up in arms about the poll and are alleging that the poll is part of a big campaign being waged by the wets to obtain repreemption of the Volstead net.
The poll, of course, shows a large majority, of about ten to one, in favor of light wines and beers, which, despite repeated statements of the drys, is presenting a rather serious problem to the advocates of the eighteenth amendment. The vote taken in twenty cities showed a total of 120,628 for light wines and beers and 12,680 against in the last general count. Kansas City has a majority of eleven to one in favor of beers.
This clamor arising from such a poll is an eleventh hour standing made by the "wet" interests. They realize that if a repeal is to be made, they must make as much noise as possible and bring public attention on themselves. Those interests represent the former brewers, politicians and others who in pre-Volstead days profited from the manufacture of lioner.
The dry interests have the law on their side. True, it is not being enforced, but they have nothing to gain by entering into the controversy as long as they are convinced they are holding their own.
There is much chance that the great clamor raised may deceive many persons into thinking the liquor interests amount to more than they actually do. It is not unlike when an athletic team goes away from home to play a game. The home rooters raise as much racket as possible so as to attract attention to the fact that they are present. It never fails to bring out all there is in the larger body of roots. The result is that the small noisy group is completely eclipsed. If the public is not deceived by the clamor of the minority, that is about what will happen to the wet interests within the next few months.
"GLASS HOUSES"
Students of American colleges was wittened uncorrectly in the search glare of Perry Marks ("Plastic Age") a year ago, and protected in outraged dignity that their morsels were being slumbered may learn a lesson in sportsmanship from Washington officials. In Countess Glycea's new novel, "Glass House," some score or more of statemen, politicians, diplomats and society leaders, thinly disguised as fiction characters, are revealed with idleness to details. Although the countess has hatredified official zombies, and has hurled her most eminent friends, she has also lumpomed herself in one of the characters.
The surprising thing about the novae is that the caricatured persons are getting an enormous amount of announcement out of the situation, even though the sketches are by no means flattering. Gales of nudity, press reports inform, drift from corridors and claak rooms, and unrestrained mith prevails in official drawing rooms where the victims quote their respective characterizations to one another.
The past five years have been singularly characterised in American literature by social satire. First came Upton Sinclair's "Goose Steep," and "Mainstreet" by Sinclair Lewis, "Mirrors of Washington," appearing anonymously, followed; but it was a bit too canicau to be effective. "The Plastic Age," arousing the wrath of students and the anxiety of parents, was "laughed off."
But at last the public shows signs of becoming accustomed to revelation. And this is not without significance. For as long as natre is resented, its purpose will be deflected. Only when the American public can "see itself as others see it" and profit by the sight, will glasses houses be safe.
The famous "John Doe" has been found at last, "John Doe", an Ottawa University athlete recently suspended from school, is to be reinstated by a faculty committee.
A KANSAS SPORT
The nineteenth annual Kansas high school basketball tournament will be held in Robinson gymnasium on Friday and Saturday of this week. Kansas high schools play an exceptionally good brand of basketball, and every year there are four or five teams almost on a par, fighting it out for first place.
The claim of the state of Kansas that the best basketball in America is played here, is occasionally dispatched by Indiana; but although many a Hoosier is sure he is the proof that his state turns out better cage teams, we Kansans are just as sure that the teams from the Jayhawker state have clearly demonstrated superior ability.
The Kansas record speaks for itself. Twice in the last three years, Kansas high schools have carried off the highest basketball honors in the national tournament in Chicago. It has become a matter of course for the University of Kansas to win the Missouri valley championship. Last year Washburn, a representative Kansas conference team, won the national A. A. U. tournament by beating the Hillards, a team consisting mainly of Kansas men. The Kansas conference every year has five or six teams that would compare very favorably with any tea minia America.
But aside from the question of seculioral superiority, the game of basketball is one of the most worth while branches of intercollegiate or interscholastic athletics, and is worthy of the support of every lover of good non-professional athletics. It is a clean, wholesome sport, and is relatively free from the taint of poor sportsmanliness and betting. Unlike some highly specialized sports, it is considered a game that has a physical benefit for the players. They are taught first of all clean hard playing, and obedience to decisions. It gives the young man some of the best training that it is possible for him to get.

The election of the Women's Self Government Association by mass meeting, petitions and voting is a new movement at the University. It cannot be fairly tested without the support of the women students who are interested in the welfare of their maternal mate.

TO THE LUCKY THIRTEEN
Forty-nine women were nominated for thirteen W. S. G. A. offices at the mass meeting in Fraer chapel last evening, for the elections Thursday, March 18.
LOUIS E. EVANS, President.
The scene of this year's election will be entirely different from those of former years. No placards will greet the eye announcing the candidates. No women will be out to give the friendly political handsake. No cards will be passed out telling about the "candidate that counts" or urging the voter to "compare the qualifications." No electioneering will be done among the women.
The nominees are to be elected on their own merits and supposedly without the backing of organized groups. They are to meet the university women at W. S. G. A. tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons, and will be introduced at a rally Wednesday evening.
What will be the outcome? Is that little body of politicians at work underhanded or are all the women having a fair chance? Will the unorganized women have representation as well as the organized ones? These are real questions confronting the women voters, and it is their duty to vote seriously and intelligently Thursday.

At The Theater
L'Ayare
The French department is to be commended in its choice of a really worth-wile play for this year's production. It is, however, unfavorable that drastic cutting was necessary for the performance; length comedy, being in an unfamiliar tongue, would have taxed the abilities of both actors and audience.
Kenneth Cornell, in the title roll, did some credible acting. His character was consistent throughout, and his French fluent. Carl Neumaney, as Cliente, was convincing except that his posture remained American. American youth rather than that of the seventieth century French dandy, Valere, played by Robert Mika, was unconvincing. His opening scene with Elise was rather an unpromising beginning for the play; Mr. Cornell's performance's entertainment improved considerably during the dialogue between Elise and Cliente. Dorothea Fuller made a charming and sympathetic Elise. Carceau McLean as Mariane was also charming, but failed to paraphrase her lines. Frances Conner, as the intriguing Frosine, furnished the audience with considerable amusement, as well as creating a realistic character. Lawrence M. Walker in the role of Rutte Jacques would also be successful, but he had remembered his lines more readily. The minor characters, including Seigneur Anselme, who is really key to the book.

The cutting of the play necessitated continuous entrances and exits, which were rather confusing. Also it was difficult for the audience to adjust itself to the old style of production, in which the actors always stand, facing the audience, instead of carrying a mask or a cape. On the whole, however, the location of the play was eminently factory-C, E, H.
