SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1925
The Dartmouth report on undergraduate education speaks of "the commonest obstacles to rational thought." One of the biggest obstacles to rational thinking on the college campus is the ridiculous, self-satisfied sing conceive of a great number of students.
Instead of spending their time thinking, these students spend it in the pleasant and clever little occupation of putting themselves on the back. Now if a student has gained honor and positions on the campus through real ability, he has right to put him self on the back to his heart's content. But this type of student does not as a rule enrage in this sport.
It is generally admitted that most honors and positions gained by students, burning the athletic and scholastic, are attained more through politics and the influence of organizations to which the candidate belongs than through ability. Now if this type of self-centered, sanguously conceited student would stop putting himself on the back for awhile, and then do a piece of rationalized thinking on the subject "Why do I put myself on the back?" he would look in the nearest mirror and wonder why his ears have not grown long.
Then if the strain were not too great, he would break down and do a little more thinking and gradually the self-congratulatory exercise would cease as he realized how much of his progress is due to forces outside himself.
Hestie Hank wanted to know if the cross-country men are always in a bad mood. Teenie 'em Hank 'tem em.
At he thought more rationally, he would discover that the more he substituted thinking for back putting, the greater would his chance of success in the crush, cold world, for there he will have to work for what he got.
AMERICA'S FUTURF
The future of the United States is uncertain. Ever since the end of the Great War America has dictated to other nations of the world because of her financial power,
Now some nations are beginning to question America's integrity and are doubting her faith and sincerity. France is even resentful of the dictatorial attitude which it believes has been presented.
Much of this discussion has been a direct result of America's refusal to enter the World Court. Some of our great statesmen sincerely believe that this decision has been justified. Other equally influential leaders have worked unceasingly to have America become a member of either the League of Nations or the World Court. In many instances it becomes evident that these leaders are working toward the same objective but have failed to get together, as it were.
Now a new plan has been formulated to reconcile the views of these various leaders. This scheme is known as the Harmony Plan and was conceived last summer by a group of thirty men well informed on international affairs. Kirby Page was one of those men.
This plan provides for, first, the
entrance of America in to the World Court according to the Harding-Tughes-Coolidge reservations; secondly, the outwash of war; and third, the codification of international law.
According to these reservations, America's membership in the court is conditional after five years upon what is accomplished before them. In part, these reservations demand that the court be given power to bring nations before it, and to enforce its decisions. These present inabilityes are the chief reasons that Senator Borah has opposed the court.
The second and third parts of the Harmony Plan are closely related. Many leaders claim that the League of Nations and the present World Court have no means of preventing war, and believing that war should be oblities they stand firmly for the outlawry of war. Now, because the present international law is based upon the possibility of war, and provides for its harmful contact, it becomes necessary, if war is to be outworn, that there be a codification of international law based upon peace instead of war.
On Dec. 17 the question will be brought before the United States Senate for discussion, and the result will be greatly influenced, if not decided, by public opinion. The University of Kansas is in a position to make its influence felt. Senator Borah is an alumnus of the University and chairman of the senate committee on foreign relations, and Senator Capper is in close contact with national affairs. If America is to maintain friendly relations with other powers of the world, it is imperative that she enter a world court of some kind. Recent treaties and acts, as well as debt agreements, have already started a decline in her power to dictate to the world because of financial sovereignty. It is even possible that if America does not establish better relations with other countries the future will find American citizens paying heavy taxes for military protection in order to maintain a nation restored and hated by the rest of the world.
This week end Kirk Paire has presented to the students the Harmony Plan and provisions were made for open forum discussion in order that it might be better understood. Students of the University should have enough interest as future leaders of the nation to take part in the discussion of his vital issue and express their belief.
No, Jani, a hard-dip is not some kind of mustache.
THE CHARLESTON
The word "Charleston" has been reverberating from building to building and classroom to classroom on the Hill. But where is it? Who is doing it?
What is wrong with K. U?. Why does not the Jayhawk dig its claws into the waxed hardwood with Charlestonian glen? The Charlestonian, with all of its word of mouth advertising, should be as much a part of the Hill by now as the "collinch" itself.
A hopeful sign in our universities are those teachers who realize that education is not knowledge which is conveniently handed out to students in 50 minute doses. They also know that education is not a characteristic which the student automatically acquires, like a coat of sumbar, by encounter to lecture three times a week, textbooks and 50 pages of "outside reading" weekly.
DRIPPINGS
We wonder if students do not catch heir colds from doing so much outside ending.
Some professors realize that the qualities of independent thinking, aesthetic appreciation and idealism are often the drippings from the dishes of formal education. In fact, some instructors are so convinced of the worth of the drippings that they devote much energy to saving them. These professors encourage their students to stay after class to continue the discussion. They encourage a student to do reading on his own initiative, even to the extent of neglecting the formal assignments.
A few professors become real
Friends with their students. They invite them to their offices or homes for long chats. One professor on the hill each year gathers around him a group of students with whom he meets on week ends for reading and discussion. These professors and their friends forget that there are such things as grades until the dean's office calls for retrospect.
On Other Hills
Women are two and six tenths per cent more brilliant than men, according to figures compiled at Stanford University. Judging by the same system, it was discovered that football players have the lowest scholastic record and that fraternity and sorority members did not rank high.
An Ohio State University club with a membership of 13 and requests from seven others has been organized at Orlando, Fin.

Dancing during the intermissions and after the game is the program used by the University of Washington at grid-graph games. A five-piece orchestra furnishes the music and 25 cents admission is charged.

JAYHAWK CAFE RAY HARRY

DID you have time to eat at Lincoln? Or were you too busy "huskin" corn and listening to the Cornhuskers' wall"?
But now you're back, come in and tell us if you saw a finer restaurant than The New Jayhawk Cafe. We're proud of it—building, equipment, and the service we can give you.
Come in for your Sunday dinner. We are sorry we couldn't go to Nebraska and we want to hear all about the game.
TO READ OR GO UNREAD
The great American custom of "getting by" has been on the wane for some time. Society, big business, and science constantly ask, what does this person know?
No longer can affability and sheer nerve be substituted for knowledge.
Breadth of vision, tolerance and a receptive attitude are developed, in the main, by contact with great minds through literature. Also good reading suffices for the necessary lack of travel during undergraduate days.
Edna St. Vincent Millay puts it rather nicely:
To Cairo and Cathay
"How shall I know, unless I go
Whether or not this blessed spot
Is blest in every way."
Geographical comparison is indeed helpful—but more basic is the comparison of master mind.
