The Kent Stater is a thrice weekly student newspaper published Monday Wednesday and Friday during the academic year and weekly in summer. It notes entry as second class matter since October 11 1927 and lists staff including Editor-in-Chief Joe Blair Jr and Business Manager.
Editorial outlines four main provisions of an honor system including tests without supervision, student self discipline, a student court for violations, and broad education of freshmen. It notes colleges like Hiram and Oberlin test practical use and mentions Will Durant lecture plans and campus social questions.
A satirical tale follows Wilhemina as she enters college seeking classic letters but is steered toward practical curricula. She endures misfit subjects, opts to study poetry privately, joins a sorority, abandons her goals, and ends up abandoned by academia and reading old books.
A late night ramble cites campus peacocking and fashion, notes on local theater with a double bill of Fast and Furious and These Glamour Girls, then a football flavored mood for The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Margie Minor opposes craps, Maizie Pump handle jokes money talks goodbye.
The article muses on WW II coverage and the human cost of conflict. It contrasts scarce front page reports with real lives lost, noting telegrams to Families, and contemplates future disarmament, peace, and the cycle of war and renewal.
