TOMES Editorial department K. U. 25 Business department K. U. 66 FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1925 It is difficult to say whether the excess moisture or the thought of quizz week is causing the dampened spairing of some of the Mi. Orc student. CAMPUS RENNAISSANCE The day of the college paper as a mouthpiece of the faculty is fast fading into oblivion. Editors of campus newspapers everywhere are speaking of "The New Journalism", which seems to have come to stay. The college newspaper of today makes it its duty to attack what is wrong as well as to praise what is good. It takes oneway to seek out those things that need remedy and then it drives away at them in its editorial column. As with any other newspaper there is not always an immediate reform adopted to meet the criticism of the paper. Reform through the editorial column is a long and often a discomparing process for the editor. However, if it arouses public sentiment, the effort put forth has been of value. Today the college newspaper is beginning to assert itself with independence and sincerity. With this period of the campus renaissance student government will progress; our colleges will become self-governing institutions in a better sense than heretofore. POOR INTERPRETATION In the issue of the Leavenworth Times for May 6, the University Daily Kansan is accused of displaying "poor Americanism." The charges for such a criticism were based on one sentence taken from the Kansan editorial columns which read: "Now that the reds have been put to rory by boys' week and the speeches on the Constitution, the Rotarians and Bigger and Better Americans' Association should feel better until next May day." With regard to this quotation we have only two comments to make. First, we assure the editor of the Levenworth Times that the Stars and Stripes still wave over the University, and though we are often accused of being over-organized we have not and never expect to have any organization which lacks the highest respect for that flag. Second, one of the traditional qualities of good Americanism is a sense of humor. No. Geraldine, because the students wear fish oil slickers does not mean that we are Fins. STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE STRAWBERRY SHORT CAKE With these spring days, strawberry short-cake is coming into prominence on our menus, and the shortness of the short-eake is its most conspicuous quality. In every way, it lives up to its name—short on strawberries; short in cake, and short on sugar. Old men as they eat the first berry and the other one which they find hidden beneath a bit of dough, dream dreams of the cake they used to eat in their youth—covered with large, funeless strawberries. Children, as they cat the article intricately called strawberry short cake by us humorous moderns, have visions of the pictures in baking powder advertisements, depicting brilliant red berries peeping out beneath piles of whipped cream. Quite a contrast between that and short-cake as it is at the great American restaurants. Undoubtedly, this is a literal age of realism, but it takes a great part of the joy out of life for food in this country of ours from the chefs in the hotels to the common ordinary cooks in our cafeterias, to take the short part of the shortcake so seriously. What the situation needs is a bit of imagination applied to the great American dessert. VIEWPOINTS In a certain class in the University recently, the instructor read part or a modern play by a prominent American playwright—a play which has been discussed at great length by reviewers. The class was deeply interested during the reading, in fact many members had requested that he读—but after dismissal, some members reported that their day had been completely ruined by the nordidness of the drama, and they intimated that the instructor showed poor taste in bringing such a subject before students. Viewpoints in such matters are largely matters of broad-mindedness, and if at any place in the country broad-mindedness should be cultivated, it is at the universities. Characterization, dramatic intensity, artistic effects were nothing to the critics of the play. Social prejudices observed possibilities of a larger viewpoint. A university is now more than a glorified high school if its interest cannot extend beyond narrow prejudices. In a way, one might think of the ideal university as a liberal court wherein all sides of questions are brought for trial. True education can never be conceived as narrow and limited—as a matter of staying always in the sunlight and being oblivious to the storms. No sensible person believes that drama should have immortality as an excuse for existing, but vivid, frank presentations of real situations cannot be condemned without investigation. We can never consider ourselves broad-minded when we refuse to read literary and dramatic productions about which the leading critics and reviewers of the country are holding heated discussions. Such an attitude is not only narrow, it is biased as well. It has been brought out in a murder trial at Kansas City that the defendant paid Irene Castle, the famous dancer, $1,000 for 20 dances with him, at $50 a dance. So after all the men at the University don't pay so much for a date. REJUVENATION Aged men with visions of youthful brightness, old women with flapperish mutilations, and novelists seeking something new and sensational have been crushed by something so sensible and proscale as the Congress of Physicians and Surgeons. Hope dashed to the old mortal coll, just because glands cannot accomplish rejuvenation! When, once in a while, the American imagination peeps timidly out from the thick fog of sanity and sense, something always happens to it. The idea of monkey brain transplantations sound good. It seemed rather attractive to go to bed an old man and decretit individual of 60 some years, and to wake up a vivacious youth of sweet sixteen. The idea even inspired American novelists, short story writers, and playwrights, and gripping dramas of new life for old resulted. Now, all that is past. Sixity must continue as sixty, and hair can be oblured only as are Easter eggs. Too sad about the imagination. Grocers in a certain metronopia have started a "Phone for Food" campaign. We suggest that they secure the services of some of the nightly telephone patrons of our Hill restaurants as living examples of the joys of nourishment by telephone. CONVOCATION WALKOUTS Students who talk, laugh, and listen to anyone and everything but the speaker at conventions are familiar to all. They flourish at any time, but they seem to be increasing in numbers of late. It was all very well for us to go crosswise with mother when we didn't want to listen to the preacher. We scratched the back of the pew in front until mother boxed our ears. We then wanted to stand on the floor, after that we thought it would be fun to get down on our knees like the big folks did when they folded their hands under the chin and shutt their eyes and mumbled out something. Mother heard somebody snicker and we were brought up straight in a hurry. Mother looked so provoked. We just wanted to get up and walk out. Yes those were the antics of childhood. But from the wry some of our respect others in even the more common courtesies it would seem that mother has almost been forgotten. PINES AND RAVINE Standing on the little flight of stem at the east end of the Administration building you can see the path that leads to the pine trees. On the right of the path is the grassy slope descending to the bottom of the bushy, sun-fleeced ravine, full of lights and shadows, hushed and silent; a place of birds. Up on the shelf of the slope, following the path almost in nairs, are the pines; eighteen of them. Rich in tradition, it's the lovers' lane of the campus. Perhaps a student standing there imagines—I'm able to float down into the still depths of that ravine. I'll lie there on ahle in the soft grass. I'll step across the pools of sunshine on shadow bridges. I'll chase birds, I'll mount the path and pelt couples with the caterpillar blossoms from the pine trees... Aw, say...what stop! Now we're talking about things students never think about. Eighteen pine trees and a raven. Sure, what about it? Gotta quiz on now. Walk through three with you sometime, maybe. Say, has the whistle blown yet? Campus Opinion Editor University Daily Kansas: What a thought provoking statement is the popular one "dare to be different." Is to dare to be different the courageous and valuable quality we are striving to obtain? Civil servants have the courage to break away from them, but the greatest quality back of this, the one that deserves our attention and emphasis, is that of convictions firmly grounded and built upon the most sincere and open minded thinkers. Because it is becoming popular, it is becoming easy to dare to be different. If one finds oneself advocating an opinion that does not conform to that of others, let him ask him what the problem was well founded and not the result of shallow prejudice? Has my opinion been derived because I believe it is worthy of consideration of the social group and not merely because I want the experience of being diverse to question questions in the affirmative then let him dare to be different with all courage and devotion. An article appeared in the last issue of the Dove under the title "The Low-Down on Religion." It illustrates my point. The author said: "Every since (meaning, his religious experience at the age of thirteen years) I have built up a complex against every mention of religion." Why has he built up a complex against the mention of religion? Should he understand "in a well-defined vision against" the mere sound of the word? Is he attempting to fortify his conviction by refusing to think with an open mind? Does he consider this an opportunity to dare to be different? The author speaks of his experience at the revival meeting as being highly emotional. Is he not suffering from an emotional reaction? He defends his stand in this regard if anyone on his side I do about the matter, he is at liberty to do so." He does not may believe, which might convey an impression of temperate thinking, but uses the word feel. Certainly he has feelings of anger, one of which feels and sought to judge its validity. R. B.

Plain Tales From the Hill Well Informed The prosecco wares in the School of Business have improved Horace Greeley's advice to read: "Go sell young man, go sell." Therefore, amid preparation for finals and fare well parties, we find hopeful embryology from our teachers' sealing wax to long-buffering bedpots or correctoring a room mate and compelling him to take the part of the unwilling but helpless housewife who is indebted to buy indulgent life cancels his room mats.
