THE STUDENT POLL
In the Campus Opinion column today appears a communication from a Kanan reader declaring that the poll on the World Court issue recently taken in an all-University convention was not equitable and just because the side of the opposition was not presented. In reply the Kanan desires to make the following facts clear.
Every effort was made by the committee in charge of the poll to obtain an opposition speaker to go on the convention platform with Mr. Fordick, an advocate of the Court. It even went so far as to wire Sema. Roed of Missouri, probably the most outstanding opponent of the Court, next to Senator Borah. It was impossible to obtain Senator Read's services. Next, the roster of the faculty was searched for one who could adequately present the opposition, but no active opponent could be found.
Through the Kansas columns, every effort was made to print the arguments of the opposition. In one issue several quotations from Senator Borah were made. In another issue the arguments pro and con were given at length.
In the open forum discussions on the question, any side of the matter was open to any who cared to challenge. It is true that the forums were sponsored by the Christian associations and in one sense were propaganda for the Court, but the speakers were carefully chosen and were men of ability and recognized authority.
It was because of the fact that there might be some criticism of the value of the poll after a speech such as Mr. Fooddik gave, the final decision to take the poll was not made until a few moments before the speaker ascended the platform, Chancellor Lindley in a brief word briefed the situation clear and stated that if there were any who felt themselves sufficiently informed on the subject to express an opinion, ballots would be distributed for that purpose. The small number of ballots cast testifies to the fact that only those voted who met these conditions.
Thus, the Kanan believes that the poll was as accurate a barometer of student opinion as was possible to have. Students cannot be blamed not wanting to hear both sides of the argument, but the committee claims that opposition was impossible to obtain.
No, Jazzalina, the Turkish question has nothing to do with the frequency of baths.
WORKING HIS WAY
"Seventy-two per cent of the stu-
ter partially self-supporting," reports
or partially selfsupporting," reports
one western school. Sixty-seven per
cent of another school belong to
the self-supporting class, and a majority
of the western state schools can
quote similar figures.
On first thought these reports sound good, for they seem to indicate that educational institutions are becoming more and more democratic, and that men and women of the working classes are receiving the benefits to be derived from higher education in ever-increasing numbers. These working students are divided
into two classes. The students in one class have stayed out of school one cr two, or even three years after completing high school; have worked, saved their earnings and are investing them in education. They are self-supporting and it is safe to say, will make the most of their school opportunities, for they are spending their own money. This type of student should be encouraged.
These working students are divided
But there is another class which far outnumber the first and which is usually thought of when the self-supporting student is mentioned. This is the student who is attempting to earn a living and gain an education both at the same time and do a poor job of work. During the afternoon he is found at his work to gain a livelihood, in a drug store, a mill, a restaurant, bakery, barber shop, manufacturing plant, or what not. At night he crames for his assignments until a late hour—nodding and doing over his desk not infrequently as the grower late. On the morning, pale$^a$ and worn, be yeans in class and trains to luck to get by.
Wouldn't it be better for this class of student if he spent a year or two consistently at work before entering the university, added to his earnings during vacations, and then devoted all his energies to making the most of his opportunities while in school?
Finally, wouldn't a university be more truly an institution of learning if all its students were spending their time in educational parents, rather than a major portion of them spending a great share of their time earn-
Book Notes
"The World Court" by Antonio S. de Bustamante; The MacMillan Company.
It is a relief to read a book dealing with the mooted question of the merits of the world court in an imperial and comprehensive manner. The fact that the most recent analysis of the Permanent Court of International Justice has been made by a judge of the court and a South American, Antioque University professor, gave freedom from the chap-trap of political and paetistic prejudices that he spanned much of the Yankee literature on the subject.
judge de Bastantines writes from the historical viewpoint. He traces the evolution of the present structure of the World Court through the discussions and proposals of the advisory bodies. The court is pointed by the council of the League of Nations in accordance with the provisions of article 14 of the legal covenant to the final organization by the League. This interesting and intimate account of the genesis of the International Court is illustrated by the historical review of the antecedents of the court with which the book open makes clear that the court is in the process of development. Arguments for and against the present structure of the court should take into account evolutionary nature of institutions.
Judge de Bustamante's book presents a thorough description of the structure of the court, including in an appendix the statute establish it and which rights it grants to the value of the book to students is its straightforward, and un prejudiced manner of dealing with the questions which are being raised by American senators and statesmen, and which will explain why he must press this coming year. In facing these questions de Bustamante tries to present all points of view before drawing his own conclusions. Of course he has high hopes for the court, and he is favorable toward the League, which he insists will be better for Barbara and Reed—but he is fair.
From Judge de Bustamantis's analysis of the court it appears that the jurisdiction of the court is something that is in the process of definition, and that is why it is important are the means of defining its jurisdiction. Thus, the Locaroe peace pacts signed the first of the month in London provide for the arbitration of boundary disputes by a special Court of International Justice.
The natural and necessary relation between the League and the court is now organized, de Buitman firmly supports the law, book for American readers in the judge's way of writing about the court as an existing fact, not a theory. He gives in detail the actual events of the trial of the Pearr rather neaker in a world and a time of so many serious international problems. But there is a "begining" before it, and it is accomplished advisory opinions and the four cases of litigation - F. S.
Members of the faculty who are on the programs of learned societies are invited to communicate with the K. U. News Bureau, Mr. Dilr, director, K. U. 143, in the matter of providing copies of synopses of their papers for the press. There is a distinct advantage to the author in having supervision of the preparation of material for the press, rather than depending upon ordinary newspaper reporting, and there is advantage to the University in having brought to public notice something of the activities of members. With this end in view, the co-operation of all concerned is invited.

Editor Daily, Kansan;
Our dort work has taken on the World Court by the University of Kansas student body was supposed to be indicative of the student opinion concerning that question. It seems to be a peculiar, even though effective, way of deciding how our delegate will vote at Princeton this month.
There has been an active campaign on the part of the Y. M. C. A, and other organizations to create a new flagship campaign in the town. Propaganda has been strewn here and there with the appeal for peace. On this Hill the campaign has been even more active than usual. No pains have been shared and whether or not the issues have been presented, all allegations of havoc have been 'World Court'
When the distinguished speaker, Mr. Fordick, made his speech at convention recently, the writer was disappointed not to hear any issues pertaining to the question. Another appeal for the World Court with a falacious comparison with our Supreme Court. Then the vote was taken, the result of which was inevitable. Regardless of the merits of the question, the issues over which the Senate is deliberating, we feel that it was barely the fair thing to take a majority in the vote and only one side presented to them and most of whom know little about the subject; to take away the result to the national collegiate convention and to the World Court; to vote 866 to 828."
