A MISUNDERSTANDING
The Kansas拒错 that any such impression was caused; its columns are for expression of the interests of the student body, faculty, and administration, as a whole, and not those of any particular individual or group. Whenever it seems inconsistent with those principles, it appreciates having the matter brought to its attention.
The stars above us may govern our conditions, but we still insist that the professors have something to do with our fucks.
THESE LIBERALS
The appearance of a so-called "illegal" shot on the campus this morning caused a variety of reactions.
Some people felt that their trees were steeped in, others dabbed the leaflet "more radical bank," and still others deceived it a natural result of the unrest of youth, and gave it no further notice.
There is probably a considerable amount of both truth and fallacy in the opinions expressed, but there is at least a frank attempt to get at the botta of campus situations. The students interested have been thinking; whether they have been thinking clearly and are truly liberal, the sheet itself will show.
Whether we agree with any given point of view expressed in the sheet inside the point. Any honest opinion deserves intelligent tolerance. A university is certainly no place to plug car eyes and bind car eyes, and then expect to find the truth. We shall not fear any point of view if we are honest and open minded in our judgments.
THE ARMS CONFERENCE
When five shades of rage get in live with interlocked arms it is high time to clear the walk; this array is not a mirage. It does not thin out or vault before the eyes of the lackless pedestrian who happens to be traversing the same walk in an opposite direction.
Today an army conference like this was very peaceful so far as could be unaccentured, although like most of the officers at the war council with considerable discussion.
Table talk still easily between feminine lines that appeared well preserved with a connection called kiss proof lipstick. All eyes seemed fixed on some indeterminate center just a few inches beyond the farthest reach of the feet which prompelled the group slowly down the walk.
This arms conference might not have been so noticeable had not it forced an elderly lady to step from the sidewalk to the street, where she waited until the barge passed. This did not happen on Massachusetts street. It is an incident frequently repeted on this campus.
OUR TRADITIONS
Can an A. B. '25 and an A. B. '10 get together and spend hours talking over E. U. traditions?
Hardly. They would have, instead,
to spend their time comparing the
things each of them did while in

school, mind as if they had gone to different institutions. Only if they happened to belong to the same era and shared many traditions for reminiscence.
It is a immeasurable fact that we are ever ready to change our old school customs, or drop them for some new idea. By so doing we break up the continuity of school spirit, and leave behind an experience to blind together.
Let us put more emphasis on established traditions, and teach incoming students to respect them.
Reading maketh a full man; con-
ferences a ready man; and politics a
friendly man.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Laws are enforced mainly by public opinion. At present the American public chooses to ridicule, rather hate to keep and respect the laws of his land.
Whether or not this condition originated with the Volastond act is not as important as the fact that it does exist. A few years ago, everyone tood in awe of federal power; now it is the subject of three-fourths of he jokes of the country.
From the opium conference come unendowed that if America is not able to enforce prohibition in her own country she could not effectively prohibit the sale of opium, and she is not the right to ask other countries to do what she cannot. Even he people outside our country areaughing at our inability to enforce our own laws.
This inability exists throughout our states, counties, cities, and even homes. No one could tell from observation that Kushna has an anti-capital law.
Democracy, to exist, must have laws enforced by individual and group respect and apprehension. If this experimental democracy of ours expects to continue as a worthy and powerful force, public opinion must cease to ridicule the laws of our land and respect them to the extent of effective enforcement.
If this condition does not come about soon, our democracy will degenerate into either anarchy or despotism.
About this time of year the professor begins to watch the smoke of the student who thought he was enroling in a "ripe" course.
SECRET AMBITIONS
Even the worst of us have some secret ambition. Take for instance that fellow who sits on the back row of your 1:30 class and sozoes all hour. Not a person in the class ever heard him say more than "Huh?" and the professor has never seen the color of his eyes.
Yet there is no doubt that he has a secret ambition to breeze into the class some day with the vitality of a lion and the knowledge of a Phi Beta Kappa. On this day he will sit on the front row and tell the professions that he doesn't know himself. He will stun the class, and win words of praise from the teacher.
An ambition is a great thing even if it is never achieved, and who knows but that as soon as this demoralizing spring weather is his ambition, this chap will reach his ambition. At least when his pref is thinking words of wrath about this student, he should remember that he has a powerful latent ambition.
The student sighs and wears an injured air. Misty green tree tops, bird calls, and perfect spring weather have given him the fewer. Yet he must sit through lecture after lecture, and in his spare time glean notes from musky books in the library.
"Such a life!" he yawns, "I wish I hadn't anything to do but wander out into the country and dig around in the dirt."
"I WISH.
"Soft life!" he mutters, "wish I didn't anything to do but flom around like those kids, with nothing to worry about."
A farmer rattles across the campus in his hayrack. He contemplates the doors of students drapped on the steps of buildings, and snaunting across the campus. Suddenly he feels that the fates have rather alumned him.

"What's that awful noise?"
"Why Palu played, "Swenne River" on his sax last night and now he's blowing all the old stairs out so that he can play again."

Plain Tales From the Hill
The University of Minnesota radio station was recently heard in Australia for 40 minutes. This distance of 11,000 miles set a new record for the 'Twins Cities' radio broadcasting sets.

Three Oxford University teams are being captured this year by Americans. A. C. Valentine, former Swarthmore football star, is leading the lacrosse team. R. H. Snow, Rhodes University and United Fence Capitals, and E. P. Eagen of Colorado, is captain of the University Boxing Club.
There are tricks to all trades. A novel way of robbing was brought to light when several traintries were run at the University of Utah last week.
The University of Oregon is to debate with Stanford University by radio. This is the second radio debate conducted in the history of debating.
Students at the University of Oregon lamented the fact that the backs of yellow stickers showed no individuality, and feeling that individuality was a bad idea. In matters, they hit upon the brilliant idea of ornamenting their stickers with many-hued designs of various shapes and forms. According to the "Daily Bareometer" the campus on a summer day presents a kaleidoscope scene.
At Northwestern University campus notables were interviewed on the question of compulsory chapel. A majority of them favored making attendance voluntary. The question recently came up for discussion at student council meeting and campus sentiment was sought.
Two instructors at the University of Wisconsin have been referred to the faculty by the senior counsel chair of the Department during examinations. The honor system states that all faculty members shall leave the room during examinations.
A well dressed young man with a southern manner knocked at the door of a fraternity house and asked if anyone in the chapter had lost a pin. The owner, not far away around to all the rooms asking the boys but after inquiry was completed, it was found that no one had lost a pin. That night the fraternity house manager, who was the chapel, musical instruments and other valuables were taken. This same little trick worked at four other fraternities the same night. The third victim was the interior of each of the houses and had planned his robbery accordingly.

V. A greater K, U, Y, M, C, A.
As a political issue, this is a colloidal sake. What will Pachacama do that Black Mask will not do in regard to this organization? "Platimania" well describes this particular item.
VI. Revision or abolition of the Point System.
That plank is the most fatal and ill-advised of the lot. It appeals only to those who are at the University with no serious purpose in mind. Students with insight will realize that without final examinations instructors cannot possibly give an equitable grade to undergraduate students. A mere sacrifice of principle for nonitalic favor.
IV. A rooting section at all athletic contests.
That is the only clearcut plank in the platform. Black Mask favors such a program.
IT MAKES ONE FEEL LIKE SWEARING
This is nothing but straddling. We suggest a clear-cut stand such as the

II. Genrue functioning of Council committees on: moving picture shows, taxi cabs, campus on camps, freshmen, student labor, rooms.
III. the statements regarding the election of the "political bokum" such as the Kansan has editorially mentioned. Action is adventaled, but definite solutions of these problems are lacking. The point regarding the freshman is that he should be a member of the men of that class. Laboring students are nearly all non-fraternity men, yet practically all the "men of merit" suggested by Pacchamac for major offices are affiliated with social organizations. More humbled for the credulous.
Opponents' Issues Proved to Be Weak
Recent editorials in the Kansas have challenged the political parties to present live issues to the students. Pachacamac has endeavored to meet this challenge by presenting what it calls a platform of "constructive plaques." Black Mask wishes to discuss these individually.
The party apparently considers this the outstanding "issue" of the campaign. It is not an issue. The council's main task is to help M.M. support has voted to assume the disciplinary functions. Dragging this question into a campaign in order to have something to write about will make no impact on approval in the eyes of the students.
1. Student discipline to be student administered.
Blask Mask Favors Only Real Plank in 'Pach' Platform; Rest Are Bids for Votes
Monday, March 30, 1925
Primary Candidates Announced
PLATFORM
H. Removal of the selection of Cheer-leader from politics.
III. Abolition of the point system.
IV. Educational Politics.
Ve Further Advocate:
I. The party primary as the fairest means of nominating candidates.
II. The establishment of a rooter's section at football games. (This is also a Pachacamac plank).
III. The exemption of seniors having an A or B standing in a course from final examination in it.
IV. One dollar variates.
Black Mask party has taken.
VII. Beautification of the campus.
Can it be possible that even a mornor could consider this a plank?
If this is an issue "worthy of your attention," Pachacamaca is right and the world is wrong.
VIII. Six-bit varsities.
This will appeal to many students, yet the reduction is inadvisable. Money must be supplied for the increasingly important work of the Council and the W. S. G. A., and for the necessary terrapins. There has been no particular agitation for a reduction in price, and no easier method of getting money exists. The establishment of a Co-operative Book Store may ease any excess funds which might accrue. Figures from last year's financial report prove that a one-fourth cut in the total receipts would result in an actual deficit rather than a surplus, leaving absolutely nothing to devote to the work of the student government, its idle appeal for student support.
It must be evident to all thinking students that practically the entire platform, including the trivial vocabulary which accompanied it, is a cold bid for political favor, without relevance to any serious difficulty. It is but a hastily improved hedge-podge of idle drive which has met with severe criticism even of those affiliated with the Pachaeamac party. Pachaeamac candidates are pledged to support such a platform, and should not be able to float without assistance.
Vote Black Mask.
No.1
More on the Platform
In contrast with the platform on our opponents, we present the above specific planks. In order that everyone may be given a thorough understanding of them, the following explanation is offered:
A University Cooperative Bookstore
Those who have given thought to the problem of reduction of the cost of books and stationary to the student agree that the only practical solution is the establishment of a cooperative library. The initiative plan an formularie by Black Mask is as follows:
The present book exchange, further financed by a surplus accrued from activities of the two governing bodies, including variety dances, games and music, will divide the handling of new text-books and school supplies of various kinds. A board of directors may be chosen by the W. S. G. A, and the Student Council, which may select a manager to oversee the work of the Student labor may be hired at reasonable wages. The enterprise may be housed in the New Union Building. The project will provide part-time work and beneficial experience for a number of students, and will offer up to 20 percent on texts and materials.
Abolition of the Point System During its entire existence the system has had but one opportunity to function, and in this particular case it would be more effective. The capable student usually knows when he has reached his limit in activities, and if he becomes overloaded, the system should move to meet his responsibilities will prevent his being given further offices.
Selection of Cheer Leader
The office of cheer leader is in on which has nothing to do with politics its sole function is to lead the cheer leader's actions, and to arouse school spirit Its work has no bearing on politics issues. A committee composed of coaches, captains of major sports an waffle of school spirit, select the cheer leader on the basis of merit alone.
