Retained as second secretary will matter further. He was elected on June 19, 2004, by Kansas, under the act of March 5, 1976, and is now president. He had a week, and on Sunday morning by students in his district, attended a conference on the variety of Kansas from the Press of the Kansas State Journal.
THE WORLD COURT AND STUDENT INFLUENCE
FRIDAY, NOV. 6, 1925
A poll of student opinion regarding the entry of the United States into a permanent court of justice is to be taken early in December in the colleges and universities of the country under the management of the New Student, a New York publication for the decoration of American campus problems. Students are to vote whether the United States shall enter the World Court according to (1) the Harmony Pence Plan, (2) Harding-Hughes Coledge plan, (3) the Barah plan, or (4) against any participation in the World Court.
The poll should have a significant meaning to every student at the University, in view of the recent forum talks on the court question and the coming national discussions. It is a chance for student opinion to become manifest; to make student influence a vital factor in American political life.
In view of the fact that the data set by congress for discussion of the court question is Dec. 17, a short time after the student pall will be finished, the question should be all the more interesting. Previous to the congressional discussion a delegation of students from all over the United States will meet at Princeton, Dec. 11 to 13, to decide what attitude the college students of American shall take and to choose a committee to present before congress and the President the result of the poll and the conclusions of the convention.
Students may feel that they have no need to be interested in the court question because their opinions will have no influence on the question whatsoever. Here is an opportunity for students not acquainted with the court plans to investigate the proposed plans and give their conclusions and opinions in the New Student poll. Student opinion cannot be entirely disregarded by congress when the student committee presents the opinion of students of the country. It must pay some attention. It is a chance to make student opinion of some value.
It is rumored that afternoon classes in Fraser ball will be dismissed every day as long as this blasting continues. Instructors find that there is too much competition.
INDIFFERENCE AND INDECISION
The customary, American indifference to important elections was demonstrated in the Kansas City, Mo. mayoralty and bond election Tuesday. The voting and registration totals show that the sacred theory of democracy received another thunder at the bands of those who neglected to go to the pails.
Although registration for the election totalled 157,500, a new record for the city, and a vote of 130,000 was expected, only 114,000 availied themselves of the right of franchise. Somewhere in the city 43,000, enough to turn any city election, stayed at home or at the shop and neglected their privilege and duty of casting a vote to choose the city's administrators for the next four years.
The showing was bad, but the indication of the voters on the bond question was worse. Only half of the total registration voted on the bond
propositions. Nearly a third of those at the polls did not express an opinion on most of the proposals. What of indifference?
The citizen's exercise of his sacred rights and duties as an individual is the basis of democracy, and when he fails to do this the theory of democracy is a failure. Indifference toward elections of all kinds and indemnion on election proposals tears down the theory of democracy. It demands the action and opinion of all, or it fails.
On matters of vital importance to their welfare and interests one would expect that the citizens would want to express their opinions. They are indifferent to it all, and if they fail to express their opinion by neglecting to work, "Yes" or "No" on the ballot to "Yes" and the city must suffer.
Miami A Jam Fine Face says a Kansas City Star headline. The Start is becoming quite careless about typographic errors.
ENOUGH OF HONOR
Saturday evening at dinner time five books on reserve in Watson Library for the use of two hundred students were one. Only a few scattered readers occupied Watson Library and a canvas of the entire building disclosed the fact that every copy had been carried away. Further investigation revealed that one had been checked out in the morning by a football player who could not use it at all in the afternoon because of the Drake game.
This is a representative situation.
The carrier carries a reserve book away so no one else can get it during his absence; other members of the class wait and wait, often until closing time, and still the book fails to come in. No check is made on the books until morning, and the copy often is not returned until the next day, when it is surreptitiously snuck up to the desk and hastily abandoned.
We have prated enough about "honor," the very word "faireux" is as antiquated as the Trojan house. It is time to do something material.
In the library of the University of Wisconsin, a very rigid conformity to rule is checked. A checking system prevails that is almost impossible to evade. Volitors find their names conspicuously posted on the wall in somewhat the following manner:
"John James is forbidden the use of John James in this library because of failure to comply with regulations."
Perhaps the possibility of having his name put on the black list and finding his moral irresponsibility revealed to the public might have a re-forming influence on the student without honor of our own university.
Kansas Out To Repeat says, a K. C.
Star football story head. Aw, let's
not be so pessimistic.
"The bleedy city," is no more. For Herrin, III, is trying to come back. Glen Young is dead. Deputy Sheriff Thomas is dead. Sheriff Galligan has left the country. Many good men lost their lives in the Hurriangle hurricane; hundreds of families left the town; real estate dropped fifty per cent in value; victims shunned the town.
BLOODY HERRIN
Why? Because Herrin is composed of a population of gangsters? No. Herrin has a population of nearly two thousand and is a beautiful city, normal in every respect. But it took only a few funniest and a few bad characters to give Herrin a bad name that will last for years.
The good, "im innocent bystander" citizens will suffer for the crimes of the few, for years to come, because they did not rise in righteous indulgence and demand that crimes against civilization and against humanity be stopped, and see to it that they were stopped. They side-stopped their responsibilities and now they must pay. If they win back the confidence that was once deposited in them, then, and not until then, will the cogmemon "bloody" be erased from its position before the name of Herrin.
