FOR MODIFICATION OF THE
DATE RULE
Referring to the question of whether co-education has really succeeded, discussed in the Kansan last Friday night, and the prevalent disregard of and antagonism toward the "date rule," several other questions are immediately raised. First, should the problem of the regulation of social intercourse be left to the student; and, second, if it is, has the student the ability and insight to make these regulations for the benefit of his society?
In the present day, there is more and more agitation by the students for control of their own affairs. Student governments have been organized and have in some measure assumed social control. The trend in this direction has gone so far that whenever a restriction is made by an administration on social intercourse, a bowel is immediately set up by the students to the effect that such matters should be left to them.
But should they? Almost above all else, youth loves and worships freedom. But freedom does not further progress unless it is directional. It is upon its elders that youth must forever rely for guidance; the chances are that it would run amuck without it, at least in a circle for some time. To totally abolish the rule date here at the University would be to re-requisit needed authority by the administration.
It follows, then, that students have not the ability to regulate this phase of their collegiate life. If the foregoing is not sufficient proof, there are many examples of such in other phases here on the campus. Both the governing councils have passed regulations at the installation of the administration but have found no means of enforcing them. Recently, one council actually violated its constitution when it passed a measure. But this does not condemn student government as a failure. There is a distinction.
At the present time, there is much condemnation of the date rule on the basis that it is not enforced and that its own sponsors do not hold it in high regard. This much is granted, but it is not adequate ground for the absolute abolition of the rule. It does indicate, however, that some change or modification would be desirable. A rule or law that is not supported by public sentiment is worthless; for upon public opinion depends the establishment and active existence of man-made law.
A law which is obsolete should be repealed for the good of the morale of society, but one which is merely obsolete, such as the date rule, should be re-coded on a workable basis. The present date rule is silly in some phases, it is foolish in others, and should be modified.
A SURPRISING HERO
The boys and girls of the Tennessee mountains are to have a fully equipped and adequate school. For this they are indebted to Alvin Lyn, Tennessee mountainer and famous hero of the World War. ©
Sergeant York performed the most spectacular single-handed feat of any man during the war. Upon his return to this country he was acclaimed a hero and numerous opportunities to enrich his personal fortunes by capitalizing his heroism were presented to the unsassuming mountaineer. The American people would have paid well to use either in person or in moving pictures this fighter who had made prisoners of hundreds of Germans.
Instead of seeking personal gain, however, Sergeant York devoted himself to lecturing in behalf of the mountain children of his native state. All the proceeds from the lectures above his expenses were devoted to bettering their lot. After carrying on this work alone for a number of years, Sergeant York has at last interested the authorities of Tennessee in his project and the legislature voted $50,000 towards the building of a school at Jamestown. Likewise Fentress county countyed $50,000 for the school. These amounts together with $10,000 which Sergeant York has given insure a substantial beginning for the school.
This rather amazing warrior forms a strong contrast to some of our conquering heroes of the prize ring and gridiron. He is deeply religious and he somehow has the idea that religion is a matter of service. He has refused to exploit himself on the screen or lecture platform, even though he might enrich himself, giving for his refusal the queer reason that he is not qualified to be an actor or a lecturer. And when he became famous he seemed to think it involved some obligation to be of service to his fellow-man!
STAGE MORALITY
Is or isn't our present day legitimate stage production moral? And if it is, who is to blame?
Such a question, if uttered in the presence of a gathering of dramatic critics, teachers or even students, would stand a most excellent chance of facilitating a small riot. Some stand on the contention that it is simply a matter of "state of mind," and that instead of seeing the good points of drama which apparently borders on the risqué, its critics make have to pick out the bad ones.
Yet one cannot deny that the "dists" of the season, or to be a bit more conservative, a goodly number of the successful legitimate productions of the present season, have delved deeply into the profane, the vulgar and the indecent, to the apparent delight of New York audiences.
A resume of some of the plays now running in New York and elsewhere would seem to bear out those who believe that the American stage has degenerated, or the tastes of the American people have degenerated and the stage has been forced to follow.
"The Green Hat" by Michael Arlen, who is by the way, enjoying an almost unprecedented amount of pampering and petting at the hands of New York's so-called "four hundred," panders to promiscuity.
Where is the American theater going?
"The Vortex" is a story of a deprived mother with a dope fiend for a son.
"Cradle Snatchers" is the story of three middle-aged women who look up three college boys to show them but the "good time" is presented, but the "Good time" is presented.

POLITICS VS. JUSTICE
The Department of Justice is again being charged with failure to prosecute. The department seems to make a habit of forgetting to investigate or prosecute matters which would prove uncomplimentary to the administration. This time it is the American Aluminum Company, in which Secretary Mellon is a large stockholder. Their last outstanding omission was in the Tenor Done scandal.
POLITICS VS. JUSTICE
But for the emergence of political opponents the Teapot Doms affair would never have been brought to light. Since it was brought out in no uncertain way, such changes as were compulsory were made and the affair is now being forgotten. A congressional committee to investigate the Aluminum company affair has been appointed because the department of justice showed no move to investigate. However, it reiterated that it had intention of doing so.
The department has an unenviable record, with all manner of charges, both proved and unproved, against it. It can be a great force for justice and for good in the country, or it can be a big cop in the machine of party politics. It cannot be harmed. It cannot remain a part of the political machine of either party and continue to hold the faith of honest citizens.
In a land of equal rights, preference to either moneyed or political interests is distinctly out of place in our national government.
C. R. GARVEY, President.
CARDINAL MERCIER
With the news of the serious illness of Cardinal Mercier, of Belgium, comes a recollection of the heroic part played by the prelate in the World War.
During the early days of the great struggle, it was he who opposed the invasion of his country, refusing to yield to the invaders, an act which encouraged and strengthened his people. Even imprisonment did not dummit his spirit. Pearlesa, brave, with a firm belief in the ultimate triumph of right, his actions were a guide to his countrymen.
In these less troubble times, when the events of the war are dropped from memory, there are many who need only to hear mentioned his name to recall the part which he acted. It is not too much to say that the wishes of a world are with the Cardinal in his struggle for a return to life and health.

What's the Matter With Kansas?
Smoking does not agree with rabbits.
Prof. W. J. Baugartner of the University of Kansas tells the education department that rabbits subjected regularly to tobacco smoke at the University of Kansas become slovenly.
Readers, do not let your rabbit!
Get the harmful smoking habit;
Make him take his cabbage raw!
Rabbits on stones draw
Soon grow show and slovenly.
In efficiency,
Fail in ratination.
Make mistakes in multiplication,
Miss what rabbits ought to know.
Noted Kansas savants show.
And who should know what jacks should be.
