THE REAL ISSUE
We want plays! Good plays. With the merits of the controversy between Mr. Dickenson and the local operators' union the Daily Kanman has nothing to do, though to give its readers some idea of the situation which keeps plays away from Lawrence, we printed yesterday an interview with an official of the union and offered the privilege of the Kanman columns to Mr. Dickenson—which privilege he declined.
Whoever is in the wrong, we the innocent lysters, are suffering. A few years ago when the public was shivering for lack of coal while the miners and the operators mailed each other, the State of Kansas said to the operators and the miners, "If you can't produce coal, the State can." And it did.
We want to see good plays. The Lawrence play-going public is tired of being the goat. Perhaps there is more than one way to get good plays for this community. The Daily Kansan has fet it a duty to consider ways and means, and invites further discussion.
"Beach and Jaunon, Neck and Neck." Banner headline in Kansas City Journal Wednesday morning. It looks as though the politicians were taking up the flapper stuff.
BEHIND THE CLOUD
The World Court, in so far as many persons are concerned, is resting behind a cloud. Racial prejudices, hatred, political suppression of the real facts, and ignorance on the part of the public without the desire to learn has caused the cloud to become thicker, darker and more omnious. To clear away that threatening cloud of ignorance; to penetrate it and see the light of knowledge and understanding should be the aim and goal of every intelligent citizen of the United States.
This idea of peace is not a vague indefinite dream conceived by futuristic pacifists, with no practical benefit for the present world situation; but, rather, it is a carefully worked plan that has been advocated in some phases by leading public men for two or three decades. No matter how one may feel in regard to the League of Nations there is not enough similarity between the two, to warrant a statement that we should stay out of the World Court merely because we never entered the league.
The court is not a creature of the League of Nations, but certain relations exist between the two bodies. The court owes existence to the Versailles treaty, secures its funds from the league, may be requested to give advisory opinion to the league, and its judges act independently of the league after election by the council.
Does the president of the United States have control over a member of our Supreme Court merely because he nominated him, or authorizes funds for the existence of his office? Certainly not, and thus the league would not dictate the policy of the court.
Student bodies in America have solddum ever expressed or yielded public opinion in the muking of our national affairs. The U. S. senate is to consider the advisability of America's entry into the World Court
early in December. Do the students of K. U. want to express their opinions on the situation? Now is the time for action.
Now that the mid-semester rush is over, perhaps the students will have a hard time keeping busy.
DO YOUR OWN CHEATING
YOU OWN CHEATING
Enough has been said and written about the right and wrong of cheating and about the harm done to the individual doing the cheating. But regardless of anything said or done, some students insist on cheating, so why not look into the question of how it should and should not be done?
Mid-sometic; quizzes are over,
Looking back, you do recall that quiz
which was so very long and hard,
and which was so general? And someone
with whom you hardly had a
speaking acquaintance turned to you
in desperation for an answer to a
question; an answer which it would
have taken five minutes to give.
A class taking a quiz is under obligation to furnish information to one of its members. Yet the custom has grown up. Many students feel that it is not the square thing to refuse information, even at their own jeopardy, at the risk of being punished themselves, at the cost of giving these precious minutes to someone else, at the cost of having their mind's equilibrium upset by the excitement of the chance they are taking in furnishing the desired information. Perhaps, next day the person informed passes the informer without speaking. What of it?
Carry your notes to the quiz, if that is your idea of taking a quiz; write in your book in advance, if that is your method of intellectual activity; look on someone else's paper if you have the chance. If you must cheat, then cheer!
But for the love of Diogenes, do your own cheating!
Returns show that the election flood almost before the winner of the Kansas City mayoral content.
A MERE TOOT
A trivial thing, a mere toot of the whistle. But again it is not so trivial. When you have set your watch with the University whistle the hour preceding a quiz and then allotted your time to the quiz questions within this period you naturally expect it to be correct. Now you have just time left for the last question. The first sentence is written and the whistle blows. You must hand in an unfinished paper and suffer the consequences, all because of the unreliability of the University whistle. This has happened to all of us many times, and each time it is more irritating. Is it any more than fair to ask that the students should have a central dependable time-piece with which they may regulate their own? Surely something can be done to prevent the variance of several minutes in a successfully twenty-minute period.
In one thing, at least, the Valley schools have failed to outplay Kansas this fall. Mac's band.
None is no blind as he who will not see—our side of the story.
JUSTICE OUTSIDE
Too many persons rely upon laws functioning automatically. Statutes are more guides and are useless in themselves alone. They must be exercised to be of worth. Partiality and court delays are undermining the products of civilization. Not until their opposites, impartiality and promptness, are in power will Justice sit in judgment.
Imperial enforcement of the present laws will come neuer solving the present social unrest than further legislation. Prompt administration of justice which would punish all alike is, however, the prime need of the moment. So said Senator Arthur Capper in his address convocation. This is an old truth. The need for this proverbial justice is keenly felt now. Who is to see that the courts will fulfill their obligations? Probably the same ones who tied the hell around the cat's neck.

The Inquiring Reporter
Question: What do you think of the local theater situation?
Harold Testerman: If the refusal of the management to hire union men is the cause of not being able to get good road shows, I am not in favor of his methods.
Gladys Filsen; I don't like the idea of having the good pictures on week nights while I am studying, and having the burn ones on week ends, which is the only time I can go.
Miriam McColland: As long as the management's entire purpose is mercenary, we can never hope to get any shows of cultural value.
Leon Seelig: I think the entire situation is as insidious as malitosis in the Black Hole of Calcutta.
Dick Matthews: I think it is too bad that Mr. Dickenson and the union do not get together and compromise. I blame both.
Nona Snyder; Prices are too high for the amount of entertainment, and better pictures should be shown on week-ends instead of during the middle of the week.
Gene Gretzer: I think the shows charge too much for pictures. I don't care about the road shows as they can see plenty of them at home.
Ed Killip: I think we should have better road shows.
Plain Tales From the Hill
---
There must be one interesting course on the book. A torn off corner of note book paper bore this sentence: "Method of obtaining a wife." Underneath this were listed, "capture," "purchase," and some other word beginning with "E"—probably "dequeue."
The secret of big business was explained in a discussion of the fluctuation of the prices of stocks on the market by a professor of economics. "Some, stocks," said the professor, "are just like the leading lady in a musical comedy—each little movement has a meaning all its own."
A sweet, little dumb Dora question was recently asked by a fair damn who observed the old gentlemens who picks up scraps of paper off the can
"I wonder," she confided to her bow-legged escort, "what fraternity that boy is being initiated into?"
