COURTING THE WORLD COURT
Yesterday in convoitation a poll was taken among the students on the question of whether or not the United States should enter the World Court. The results showed a decided preference in the affirmative by a vote of 893 to 82; and also some interesting information on the average student's interest in national affairs. Of the two thousand ballots distributed, only 575 were cast, which means that only about half of the students of the University were sufficiently interested in the question or that they were not sufficiently informed to诚意ely express an opinion. The former seems the most probable.
Ever since Woodrow Wilson was instrumental in establishing the League of Nations, the question of Américain's entrance into an International Court of Justice has been nationally nationalized. Since Oct. 15 regular weekly forums have been held on the campus where practically every phase of the question was discussed. Further, the newspapers have been full of arguments pro and con by various national leaders. It seems impossible that information on the subject was becking.
Yet only half the students felt themselves capable of making a decision. Of course, it is not to be expected that students should have formed a definite opinion as to which of the three proposals would be the wisest for participation in the Court, but it is to be expected that students of America have sufficient interest in national affairs to possess some degree of consciousness in such issues.
"HОCH DÈR KAISER"
Thirty million marks in cash (about $7,150,000), 1800 acres of agricultural land and forests, three palaces in Berlin and one in Babelserk together with some Berlin house property, all furnished, is the price the Prussian minister of finance has agreed to pay as compensation to ex-Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany for the claims he has put up forward amounting to hundreds of millions of marks. The sanction of the Prussian diet is required before the settlement becomes effective, and several hot debates are expected before it is permanently adjusted.
Most of the big Hobenzellern estate recents to the state, and Prussia will not be subjected to the annual upkeep expenses of twenty million marks on the property of the former emperor—if the diet ratifies the division of properties.
The ex-kaiser, with prices as they are in Germany, should have no fear of the wolf for some time. With judicious management he and his family should have a Merry Christmas this year, and a few years to come; and even be able to afford the usual five squares per diem.
If Wilhelm failed to secure all his claims, the compromise should satisfy him at present. He need not live on hamburger, pretzels and cheap beer. He can afford something better once in a while. He should live without worry over his next month's rent and board bill, and if he fails there are a few students in this country who would like to try to live within his income for a while. No, the ex-kaiser will not have to do any more "booting."
The four and twenty blackbirds baked in the pie were lucky when compared with the hapless holders of student activity tickets who were wired into their children's size spot of a rooter section at the stadium for the football games.
"OUT DAMNED SPOT"
For some reason there were not enough seats provided, by several hundred, to take care of the crowd. Students filled the nisles, sat on each other's laps and overflowed into the reserved sections much to the discomfort of those who paid for the seats. Everywhere there was a feeling of discontent and that something was wrong with a system that permitted such a condition.
A rooter section is a fine thing but a rooter section filled with discontented students who feel that they are being cheated is not. Something must be done to remedy the system before next year or the sale of activity tickets will suffer.
Now that Paterkiewa has lost his full dress suit, we would suggest that he go on with the good work and get a haircut.
BUYING DEGREES
The recent example of the purchasing of "honorary degrees" by two physicians of a neighboring state is interesting because of the responsibility and honesty of the persons involved. It is more than a matter of mere personal concern in a case of this nature for the general public has a direct interest.
If there is any one profession where training and preparation should be of the highest type, it is that one whose members minister to the ills of mankind. Naturally, there are undesirables in every profession, but in some, lack of ability or inadequate preparation may too frequently be overlooked. However, it seems most unfair to the many dependent on them that these individuals should take advantage of an opportunity to advance their own cause. It is incidents of this nature that cause discredit to an entire profession and result in the losing of faith by many persons in the members of such a group as a whole.
TO BE OR NOT TO BE?
TO BE OR NOT TO BE:
Again the call for County Club to organize has been sent out by the County Club committee. Chairman have been named and a convoitation has been given to these organizations.
To elect officers, plan for Christmas programs, alumni mixes, and to consider the placing of airplane views of the campus in the high schools of the county, will be the function of these bodies.
It is known that the University is not prepared to care for its present number of students. Appropriations were not allowed for increased teaching facilities at the last meeting of the legislature. Yet propaganda for increased enrollment is being sponsored by University authorities. There can be no other purpose of these clubs than to act as publicity agents. They are to act to their respective high schools and tell them of the great institution on Mount Orend. They are not to tell them, however, that this institution on Mount Orend is not prepared to give instruction to a larger student body.
These clubs would die without faculty sponsoring. In fact, there would be only a few to even plan an organization if the authorities did not request it.
Those who have been complaining of the need for more professors to take charge of the over-crowded classes should keep in mind that the more students enrolled, the larger the classes.
THE SCHOLARLY ATTITUDE A senior in the college has refused membership in Phi Beta Kappa. His explanation is that he considers the grading system employed on this campus an inadequate and fallacious criterion of intelligence or scholastic ability.
It is a generally accepted fact that students frequently get high marks in "pipe" courses which profit them absolutely nothing, and that lower grades reward their efforts in courses which are of insistable value and tangible worth. That grades are no

measure of benefit is indisputable.
That organizations or institutions make them a touchone for either knowledge or intelligence is regrettable. But the argument that "grades don't matter" is too often used as a defense mechanism by the intellectual sluggard who wishes to justify an ignominious record.
Nothing is more admirable than a sincere desire to acquire knowledge for knowledge's own sake, regardless of important things like grades or honors. Unfortunately, such an attitude is exceedingly rare among college students. Those who profess to maintain it must exercise considerable honor and a vast amount of perseverance. Until every one who claims such sentiment convincingly proves his earnestness to learn independently of results, grades must continue to be standards. When that time arrives, then indeed Pbeta Beta Kappa may elect on the basis of "scholarly attitude."
A truthful student has proposed the following angle to be written below the superscription on themes:

I don't spell,

The exultant Jayhawk, conqueror of his ancient enemy by a score of 10 to 7, proudly preens his plumage about the campus. The new "Rock Chalk Jay Hawk" blanket carries a faithful 18-inch representation of his splendor in true crimson and blue.
Fifty lucky students flashing this new 60x82 inch K. U. blanket at the Missouri game started the demand for this feature display of school affiliation. Only fifty more can be delivered before Christmas. All other orders taken will be filled after the holidays.
A blanket—useful as a robe when driving; a decoration for a room; an advertisement for your school wherever you go; a necessity for hikes; for extra covering in cold weather—suitable for Christmas gifts—all serviceable and all-desirable.
It retails for $6.25, a $3.25 payment when order is taken, balance when delivery is made. All payments should be made by check.
Everyone interested in the University of Kansas should see this new emblem blanket. Phone or visit the College Loom Products Company, 1416 Tennessee, Phone 1555, between 1 and 6 any afternoon. A representative will call at your home if you so request. There is no obligation attached to such a request.
