TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1925 THE JOKER AT PRINCETON The National Collegeate World Court Conference has closed. A resolution favoring American participation in the court according to the Hirsch-Hughes-Cooleidge reservation was passed almost unanimously. Student opinion has been utilized and expressed to the Senate. Coleagues have come to greater understanding and established a greater feeling of goodwill. More than two hundred and fifty colleges and universities, representing every section of the country, attended the meeting. An American Student Federation to carry on the work began at Princeton was organized. Here the trouble began Kathleen and dominated the convention up to this point. Then the joker entered; later-cracked relation disturbed the烦躁 that had pervaded the entire gathering. Some one suggested the name of a nigra woman student from Howard University as a member of the executive committee. One member of the conference withdrew, and others threatened to step out, because of this. In all fairness to the other delegate it must be stated that the negra was elected despite the few disentents. Students representing the university states of the land, and voting on a measure that is attempting a solution for war, hark when faced with a practical problem at home. It was not so much a matter of intermingling, as of allowing representation in this case. The idea of a delegate who assumes to desire world peace refusing to strive for any racial harms at home, is abused. Any mention of the other race is a big bargain to most of us. International friendship and co-operation cannot exist, unless racial fair mindness can be established at home. University students have a better opportunity to lead the way in this movement against racial antiglobality. The students at the University of Kansas have an big an opportunity as any other student body to produce harmony and a spirit of fairness among the races, whether black white or yellow. HONOR AMONG THIEVES? A blood man is robbed of a pay cell that was to be the wages of an hundred blind employees—a grocery store proprietor is shot down without warning and his pockets riffed; twenty-five persons, among them several small children, are chiselled by bandits who ramack their home—significant incidents in the day's news. And yet there are people—far to many—who weave a mantle of mystery about the criminal, who see it in a figure of romance, a persecuted victim of circumcisions. There are those who pride of honor among thieves and sentimentalize upon criminal daring. They must have their criminal "hero." A hero who steals from the blind, a hero who shoots down defenseless persons as casually as one turns the pages of a book; a book who names kills, who lets nothing stand in the way of his lust and greed. The criminal is never a good sport and a poor sport is never a hero. No, Jazzalina, coonskin coats don't grow on fur trees. THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLES The streets are covered with ice today, which makes conditions approach the ideal for the people who love to take a chance. They attempt to drive their car ap the 14th street bill, and grow with satisfaction when they succeed in reaching the top without loss of life or limb. They attempt to negotiate the trip down the same hill without the safety of chains, and grin when they land n the Chanceller's blue grass or take up the accord of the Aeneas' fence. They are filled with contention when their reckless crimes rain to another's car, and are broken hearted when they cause body injury to a poor defenceless pedestrian. These gambles with others' property and links every hour of the day on and about the campus, and get them themselves upright and honorable thinker. No man may consider himself honest who takes the property of another, and life and lamb are as much property as the owner as houses and bands. LIGHT A CANDLE Not often is opportunity given to he students of a midwestern University to help in promoting international friendship and interpeneting he best in American culture to foreign lands. This year, through the Christmas Candle Fund, such an opportunity will be offered to those attending the University of Kannan. The fund this year will be used to bring a deserving foreign student to his University to study. It is a new plan and those in charge of opening friendly relations between nations are anxious that this pioneer movement not fail. Today and Wednesday, tubler will be placed in all the buildings on the campus where contributions will be received in return. For Christmas bundles, which are symbolic of the holidays spirit. In addition to this sale, a basketball game between two football teams and also a game between the varsity and Tau Acharnar's team will be played for the score of the friendship fund. In contributing to this scholarship and students will have the joy of preaching the Christmas spirit as well as starting a real movement award world fellowship among students of all unions. At The Theater BY DICK MATTHEWS "Ha-ha! At last I have you, Jim Blankton!" smiled Hawksworth, the detective. And the audience roared, serious melodrama of 1060 because good comedy in 1925 when the traumatic club presented "The Ticket-of-Leave Man" at the Bowersock night. Whether to laugh or to cry was dignified with the audience through the entire play, but interest in his production was heightened through his conflict of emotions. Those who were able to see a play of 1859 with he eyes of an 1860 spectator enjoyed he play as good melodrama; those of an 1825 auditorium with the sophistication of 1825 and the languor, "got a huge kick" out of the over-drawn situations and characterizations. Every element of the play was authentic. Scenery with its painted fireplace upon which the hero leans his arm; footlights which represented media, costumes which were true to the period; an exaggerated and anugerized. And the cast did admirably well to sustain deep emotional interest while the audience laughed. Space does not permit giving due credit to each of the twenty-six who took part in the production. But her life was well lived and well and together presented one of the most worthwhile shows the Dramatic Lab has ever given. However, the work of E. J. Linderman an Bob Bierly, the hero; and Laura Ballon an May Edward, the heroine, deserves to be remembered. Mr. Linderman lent motion and interest, while the grace and charm of Miss Ballon almost made the audience confrain from mirth when if would have been permissible and legitimate. Enough! It was an exceptionally realistic play, a sense of humor in personalities and an interest in dramas of the past. With the giving at Northwestern University of the opera, "Albus," by the Chicago Civic Opera company, Dec. 20, it is believed that a new custom may be established and an "Opa Night" may be held each year. It is indeed unfortunate that an organization with the prestige, reputation and influence of Sonsa's band finds it necessary to "play down" to its audience. A well balanced program, with classical selection relied by popular numbers, finds favor with the most discriminating; but the conference naturally be called well balanced. It was predominantly and tromely jazzed. --of Satin Quilted Robes—Silk Neglenges—Silk Under- things Corduroy and Corduroy Robes Appropriate gift for her At the Concert BY RUTH LAWLESS The opening overture, Liliofa "Robesieper," was a thoroughly satisfying number, adrually executed, with an abundance of melody and dramatic effect. Arban's "The Carriaval," a cornet salsa with a background of strings and wood, displayed a remarkable juxtaposition against the appeal. Miss Moony, sorrowful, in Scottish Folk songs, processing a voice of clearness and charm. A number of Sona's own selections were played, "Stars and Stripes Forever" being unquestionably favorites with the audience. Every number on the program was superbly executed; the performance is excellent. Yet the audience left the auditorium with the desire to hear classical music well presented still unsatisfied. On Other Hills A free-will offering of about $25 was collected from students of Northwestern University to pay the doctor bills of the policeman who was injured last week in the Fountain Square riot, says the Daily Northern Wester. Examinations have been abolished at Temple University because the psychology department of the school believes them to be inaccurate, antiquated, and influenced by personalities. "The Goose Hangs High," a Christmas story showing two college students home on their vacation, is being adapted by the Oberlin College, by the members of Wesley Hall at the Iowa State College at Ames, and by the University of Denver Drama Club. The play is set in modern youth, as it really be. "The college of today is in need of more 'all-round students' and fewer specialists," says the president of Northwestern University.
