JUSTICE MUST PREVAIL Professor Hunter has been dismissed from the University as the result of an investigation which was conducted for many months by the administration. The student body and the public in general, however, knew little about it until the story was released yesterday. The many friends Professor Hunter has formed during his twenty-seven years of here were shocked and grieved to learn of the matter, for his sake as well as for that of the University. The administration can decide the question only on the grounds of justice and equity. The University as a whole is certain that this very unpleasant matter will be conducted in the future as others have been in the past, according to unbiased judgment of frankly considered facts. DO THEY WANT IT? If you can believe the Southern California advertisers, what is the use of taking the trouble of dying in order to get to heaven. In February 37 students from middle western colleges met at Riverside *dle*, Ili, to discuss American student life and student government. One of the most interesting phases of the meeting was the severity with which many delegates scored student self-government associations. "In a majority of colleges represented, the governing associations were felt to have no vital purpose or task. Punishment alone seemed to be their chief concern. A few colleges felt that student government was a mere endorsement of faculty opinion. All colleges agreed that where there was any activity on the part of student government in addition to its usual function of punishment it overlapped the activities of other campus organizations," was the summary of the situation made in a report of the meeting. No delegates from the University of Kansas attended the conclave, but K. U. may well wonder what her students would have said. Does the University as a whole know or care a great deal about student government? The minorities comprising Hill political organizations are interested in electing party candidates and they provoke enough momentary excitement to induce a majority of the students to vote or these candidates. The chosen officials struggle along as best they can to administer the affairs of the student body as a social group, but they do it for the most part alone. The students who chose them lose interest in their supposed representatives. The system of student government at K.U. is a good system; its officials are usually good officials. If the Student Council and the W.S.G.A. seem to have "no vital purpose or case" or if they are dominated by faculty opinion, the students have only themselves to blame. If the students want self-government, they can have it. Do they want it? OUR GUESTS Company's coming, and it's time for K. U. to clean the snow off the walks, tidy up the campus, and put on company manners. High school athletes, several hundred of them, will be here during the next few days. The tournament in which they will play is only one of the many things they will notice during their visit. Their entertainment, the students they meet, and the way the University looks will all merge to form their impression of K. U. In the next few years some of these high school basketball players may be playing for the University. It depends a great deal on the impressions they receive while here. Every student is an integral part of K. U. and every student should try to entertain these high school visitors in such a manner that they can穿 heart-chested and sincerely say, "Pleased to have met you, K. U. We'll be back." Over in the rhetoric department there is a freshman so green that he said jail, when asked to give an example of a complex sentence. Evidently there are only two ways o see Dempsy fight. Go to Rickard's irena or get invited to Ed McLean's house. LAW-MAKING Things have been going pretty well over in Washington lately—that is, in the small areas which have not been deluged with oil. The House and the Senate have actually got together at last, and seem to be safety on the path to formulating a bonus bill which stands a chance of being passed. The settling of any kind of problem is a big thing for Congress this year, and especially one which has caused so much dissention and agitation as the bonus question. And so no one can blame Congress for feeling immensely perturbed at the possibility of a presidential veto to its legislation. It seems a little unkind of Mr. Coolidge to discourage Congress this way, when it's just getting started. But, although Congress may be slow, it's persistent when it does get started, and it may just put its legislation across over the President's vote. The United States may get a law out of this session of Congress, after all. FEAST I drank at every wine. The last was like the first. I came upon no wine So wonderful as thirst.
