V , A Things To Come , ' J Recently we were admitted to , that sanctuary adjoining the front office, called the plans room. 5 There were several hundred draw- .- ings. About two hundred of that i number had been piled in a corner for the janitor to collect in the morning. These were old plans, being drawn about two or three weeks ago. The man in charge of the room showed us the most recent, which had been struck off about an hour before. It was the future University of Kansas City. Down at the bottom of the draw- ing was a legend, identifying the numerous squares, etc., among which were Union Houses, Profes- sional Rowf' Business Circle, and Forestry Village. The man pointed to the map at a place which at the present time is the Plaza District. That will go, the man said. The Forty-eighth and Troost community will also go, the man said. VVhere the Sixty-third and Brookside district is now located will be Professional Row, the man said. There was a very small dot that interested us. That,', said the man. is the storage houses for grounds equipment. At the present time it consti- tutes the university buildings. just then, a man rushed in with new plans. The Thirty-ninth and Main district had gone. .. O1.-1.- A Didactic Essay By the time this is published, the election will be over. That is deplorable, since the subject is im- portant to the point of crucial. Under ordinary conditions, we should have remained silent, but the recent student assembly opening the election campaign clarified a matter which, we, in true K. C. U. spirit, had not thought about. The point is, that the student council is too powerful a body on the campus. It was evident that Glenn Wfhitaker and his henchmen could have passed a motion to shoot Dr. Decker, and when any student body gets that powerful, it just isn't right. No sir. VVho wants to see Dr. Decker shot, just because Glenn VVhit- aker asks people to signify their approval by say- ing Aye ? In view of the apparent danger, it would seem the election would be more spirited. At the present writing the only sign of life is an effigy of Vllhitaker hanging from the flagpole. Very effete. Now we would propose a few fist fights, setting fire to the gymnasium and a few virile tricks of that order. You see, with the university ex- panding to a point where it threatens to wipe out the whole south-side business district, the student council wields an alarming influence. And the best you can do is to pull that old effigy gag. Absolutely no interest in the election. The only explanation Page Eight . . .BETWEEN we can reach is that the students want to be domin- ated. You enjoy a dictatorship. Now, if the Fascist boys heard of this, where would we be? You would just think it lovely if we had another Hitler in this country, wouldn't you? That's the trouble with this whole country. Can't see the danger until it's already here, and then itis too late. Then you couldn't step out on the street without having a storm trooper watching you. That would be nice, wouldn't it? The founding fathers of this country weren't like that. I'll say they weren't. VVhy, at a time like this, they would be right in there fight- ing every minute of the day. It just goes to show you what this country is coming to. Democracy is doomed. .l-O-ll A Peculiar State of Affairs Dr. Decker the other night commented in a speech that he had never known a school in which the students took such a lively interest. There is a vein of hidden irony here. On several occasions, Dr. Decker, after hoarding an administration secret with great assiduity, has revealed it with evident expectation of seeing the news fall like a bombshell among the unsuspecting students. At first, he con- tributed their lack of emotion to a high degree of urbanity. By now, however, he has learned that students are already aware of all secrets. In fact, they know all the details. Deck,', with typical good-naturedness, laughs it off and converts it into a compliment for his lively-minded student body. Secretly, he is quite discouraged. - The Tragedy of Growing Up It is with a great deal of sorrow that we see the university growing into the respectable age. Col- leges, in their evolutionary processes, go through three stages: First, radicalism, second, conserva- tism, and third, assurednessism. Obviously, we are passing into the second stage. In the first years of this university, there was never a week went, by without the birth of some controversial subject,- to which our young satirists gave their best efforts. It was a golden age. Today, the student body views such movements with a fine in- difference, engendered, they belive, 'U by the increased sophistication of N a more mature institution. This, of f course, is a form of decadence, re- sulting in insipid student elections, X half-hearted support of Student I I 0 Q UQ
