U. 12 Friendship department K. U. 6 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2.1924 WORTH WHILE With the coming and going of the Orford debaters a new interest in dramatics and public speaking has invaded the campus. Before student plays and debates were looked upon as things to be tolerated rather than supported by the majority of students, but indications now are that these activities will receive their deserved amount of support and interest. Last year Betty Leou, the student play which took the place of the Follies, filled the Lawrence High School credit rium to capacity both night; it was staged. This year the plays should receive more support than was recorded Betty Lou as before the staging of that comedy there was little in the way of prior dent to touch in the way of 'take a chance' on paying money to use an anatomy presentation which more than likely would send him here in a never-game frame of mind. Monday night the. Y, W. C, A. Play, the Romantic Age, will be produced. The play is now but critics have de- veloped it to be one of the best of the season. A play of this type may not receive in support given the Folios but in supporting students will be supporting dramas and the University. If another plays are to be a success at K, U, they must receive in a degree the same support accorded other activities. THINKING If thinking were fun, if thinking were easy, and if thinking were popular we'd be patterned to death with thinkers. Professionals not be down on their knees imploring students to think. Group leaders would give out their job of thinking for the crowd. Editors not feel the responsibility of thinking for their rulers. Every man and woman a thinker. It would revolutionize the country. Profesors, editors, politicians, lawyers, preachers and all who lead the country's thought would find competition so great they would come down off their stools and mingle with the crowd. But such is not the case. People do not think. A hundred different institutions think for them. Most people have the ability to think, but thinking takes effort and most effort is directed in bread and butter eating. More than likely that greater portion of our population engaged in industry can never be much more than followers of thought. But that small portion of our population now spending time in our college a can do more—they can, become leaders of thought. Students become thinkers from challenge. There are many other challenges to thought besides professors, books, and newspapers. Nearly every day men from the outside represent different types of thought and experiences come to the University. Hearing these speakers stimulates thought and reaction. Many students would hear these men brought to the University, if it were possible. Many reasons hinder them. Social organizations take up too much time. University departmental clubs require time. Athletic and support of athletic teams ask for time. Membership drives, money drives, committee work, business meetings of forty different organizations every day reduces the student's energy to the minimum. Out of all this, the 1040000000000 student must find a little time for study. As for the many good things brought from the outside to give students a broader contact and food for thought, the student takes them in by chance or because he believes he might make a good impression on a professor by attending. Over organization. That is the problem of the University today. If professor would have perfect student, wide-awake intelligent thinkers who challenge the world, first the problem of a student's time must be locked, and record, a program for popularized thinking must be invaded. D|SINTERESTEDNESS David, Paulen or White—which is your choice? Next Tuesday is election day and many of the students are going to vote for one candidate or an another just because their father and their father's father voted for that ticket. There is no use in any *vt* *r* going to the pills and vinging blindly in this fiction. This is especially true for students. Each political club has brought speech here was told their side of the question, but few students took advantage of these speeches. Last Thursday a debate was h.b.l in Fraser Chapel. There were 125 in the audience, and of this number, less than fifty were K, U, stearns. Think of that—less than one and two quarters per cent of the student. Ily board this triangular debate between the Republican, the D moorat, and the Independent. Where were the rest of us. Well, n few were working, some were practicing football, a few were studying and the rest—the rest were having dates, seeing show, shooting pool, playing cards, sleeping and a hundred and one other things that were not fit fitting us or any one else in the least. Many students come on the Hill to learn and many take political science but we couldn't or wouldn't take an hour or so to hear the three sides of the state political question. If the situation on the Hill could be asked the platforms and policies of the three gubernatorial candidates, at least one crusader if they can give an answer-cut reply. Came on! Students let's live up to our press report. Let's take an interest in this political situation. Let's vote and vote for the best man. The only way to find out who the best man is to go to those political division groups and hear the different sides. Let's vote and vote intelligently. UNCHARTED SEAS Uncharsted sam before me lie. A roachite, sorping, vaut expanse. I befuddle to venture on. Farmer my barmille will snort mischance That joins above the squmy surf. O Going Hound! Direct my course And steer我me safe to solidurf.

My quest in this world finds its soul; And, O My Maker, who protects the gulbs, likewise protect my soul! CAMPUS OPINION There is talk of an election holiday. At first thought the idea seems but the effervescence of irresponsible nobodies who worship the schoolboy god, Vacation. But is it? Perhaps it seems a far streecked point. People with whom I have talked advice me that it would be helpful to ask for the most childish position, if classes were dismissed when business houses continued their regular routine. This seems narrowly intended to me. Do you preside or college action? Or rather, cannot the universities of this country arouse the impotent sovereignty from its *sleeping sickness* tying actual demonstration? And why should the University of Kansas hold back? The University of Texas is likely to matter, and in consequence Nov. 4 is to be a marked day in Norman. It has been brought home to me that election day ought to be a national holiday. Surely the ballot can rank along with tradition in national OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Copy received at the Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a.m. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB The Cosmopolitan Club will have a regular meeting at the Cosmopolitan Club house, 1651 Indiana street, Sunday.

We give all sorts of time for the birth of national dignitaries and high explosives, but we refuse to red letter the vote once every leap year. It was the ballot box that gave Lincoln his opportunity and Roosebush his chance. He would quicken the ballot and rid us of that omnipresent lagger, he who wouldn't vote. On this campus we have several political clubs, supposedly taking "great interest" in state and national politics. And yet, on election day, the only day of real action, the "campus politic" is gagged and bound in a non-political class room. It is true that only a fair rate cent and fewer yet of voting ability, but unless starved on food for thought or killed in the classroom rush, they'll ripen. A holiday might ally, Pd rather see the campus on awaken vote consciousness. Person-Nov. 4 a bedlam of klansmen. White sup partners, supporters, and Republican—rather than a stagnant, impatient, boa-controlled, mori bit of life. They still fall back into the new entre, or the food of an AF-克里什曼 whippinfoh.
