A short time before this convention church students at the Evanston, Ill., conference voted in favor of pacifism, and went on record as being opposed to a number of other things. In fact, they almost went so far as to say "down with everything." SUNDAY, MARCH 7, 1920 Today the prevalent notion at most conventions seems to be that the group should go on record as favoring this movement or as being against that one. It is not the fact that such resolutions are passed that causes grievance, but rather, the fact that returning delegates do not give these resolutions any more attention. In considering the action regarding pacifism it seems ridiculous for politicians, such as members of student councils, to hastily pass judgment condemning pacifism. They had not even considered the matter, or thought about the influence on the campuses of the country. Of course, the church students erred when they went on record as saying that they would not carry a gun in another war, yet their action came from higher motives than did that of the politicians. The student council officers confined themselves mostly to the more pertinent problems which face disciplinarians on any campus. But at the most they merely considered these problems, and then went on record as being ready to take arms in case of another war, and as considering military training, even where compulsory, as being a good thing. --- What conventions need is less resolving, but more thinking and action and furtherance of the plans proposed. Why worry about there ever being a panic in Watson Library, when every one knows that most of the time there's never enough students in there at one time for a panic? THE PRISONER'S SONG With his composition, the "Prisoner's Song" for a dirge Guy Massey, age 27, was buried in Dallas, Texas, a few days ago. A dreamer and a wanderer, he died in the military hospital at Ft. Sam Houston institute, and alone. Colorful indeed is the story of this young man recommended for heroism in the navy, yet who left his post to visit his sweetheart. He sang from the same stage as Carnoo, found despair in the suicide of his sweetheart and died in poverty with riches just beyond his grasp because another man had the copyright to his song. Life certainly held little reward for Guy Massey and the words of his song seem to reflect this attitude. The song is said by some to be a prison chant while others chain it is a cowboy song. The accepted story is that he wrote the song while confined to the brigid in Brooklyn because of being A. W, O. L, from the navy to visit his fiancé. Whatever the origin of the song may have been, the only reward Gayle Massee received was to have it sung at his funeral. "Carol's Fores Back Zyzyz" says a headline. We like to sleep too, but we wouldn't go far as to approve of snoring. PAINLESS DIVORCES Reno will soon be making its last stand for popularity three states in Mexico have entered into the race of granting swift and pardonless divorces. None of the states require legal residence for divorce decrees of mutual consent, and all offer as wide a range for complaint as any liberal state in America. Some even furnish pleasant surroundings in the form of records, where the unhappy ones may wait their grant of freedom. This latest bid for American trade will probably be "viewed with alarm" by our ministers and divorce prohibitionists, and steps will be taken to squawk any early attempts at helping to break up the already partially shattered American home life. With federal judges, statemen, and sociologists, working steadily for strICTer divorce laws, and fewer divorces, it looks as though the fire is being stopped in one place only to break out in another. Instead of lecturing to foreign states for making a matter worse, it would be more effective to refuse to recognize divorces which are granted outside the U. S., and then back up the decision by "cracking-down" on easy divorces here at home. At the Concert Appearing in a program which was difficult, made up of numbers which were very similar and which for that reason might have been exceedingly monotonous. Miss Helen Kennedy, pupil of Professor Preyer appeared Thursday night in an unannually commendable senior recital. The second group consisted of two numbers by Debussy. Prelude in A minor, and Reflects dans Feu. The second group consisted of two types typical of Debussy, was well done. The second number, the most beautiful of the recital, was played with a smooth lighthit touch that added materially to the natural loveliness of Her first number, Sonata in B-flat minor, by Chopin, was well executed technically, but lacked somewhat in sympathetic interpretation. The last number, on her program was especially interesting, the first movement of the 2nd Concerto in D major. The second movement of Professor Pope was at the second piano. Etude in A-flat major (Un Sucojp) by Litzet, and Polonaise in E-major by the name artist were extremely well done. Miss Kennedy gave her program with perfect confidence and ease. She succeeded in making an unusually heavy and difficult program one of the most interesting musical events of the year. She was assisted by Miss Elise Ar- buthot, contrato, who in her three numbers, An Evening Song by Gilberta. A Valentine by Bernice White-Scott, and the Cry of Rebel by Mary Turner Salter, showed unusual dramatic ability, and a charming voice. Among the books selected by the American Library Association as the 40 best published in this country last year are the works of two K. U. alumni, "Woodrow Wilson," by William Allen White, and "The Empire of the Emporia Gazette, and 'Evolution' by Vernon Kelbgue, A. M. 92." These books will be distributed abroad by the League of Nations. White's work recently appeared as a series of articles in the metroropolitan region of United States. Both authors were born in Emperor, and they attended the University together. Jayhawks Flown --our store in order that we may serve you better.
