LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS
"Spread out carefully girls—no one saw him leave with the others."
Wire Tapping Menace
Within the few years since the end of the second World War, wiretapping has grown from a small enterprise into a huge, organized, nationwide business.
Wiretapping no longer is the man crouching outside a house with his wire recorder clipped onto the telephone line. It is now an office full of people, close to a telephone exchange, with about $10,000 worth of equipment, tapping anywhere from 10 to 50 lines at one time.
There has been a heated controversy about the advisability of government and FBI use of wiretapping techniques, and the ethics and the effectiveness of it.
But the above-mentioned case, with an office full of wiretappers, which occurred in New York, bears no controversy. This was being carried on by a private concern, for perhaps blackmail purposes, stock exchange tips, information for spies, and with no government contact at all. We do not know the exact purpose of the operations because no arrests were made at the time of the raid, and the whole affair evidently was dropped.
If wire tapping continues to grow at the rate it has been growing, we could, without much exaggeration, have a network of spies and secret police that would equal that in Nazi Germany or Russia.

Don't be surprised if your cigaret tastes different-one tobacco company has announced plans to grow radioactive tobacco in order to trace the elements of the inhaled smoke.
Somebody goofed—and visitors are noticing that the street named after Dr. James Naismith is boldly labeled "Nesmith Rd."

Dear Sir:
WHAT YOU NEED IS SOME NOME
COOKIN' ON MY LAND, WAIT ILL
YOU TASTES A MOUTHFUL OF GRUBS
OR A COUPLE GRASS HOPPERS; OH,
MY COOKIN' MAKES EVERYBODY
GREEN WITH ENVY. SON.
I believe that thousands of KU alumni will join me in condemning most severely Professor Staley's criticism of the gift of a Cadillac car to Phog Allen. I am sure that the very small individual contributions for the automobile did not in the slightest degree reduce the contributions of these alumni to cancer or heart funds or any other worthy cause. Each of us wanted to give a token to show our deep regard and respect for Phog Allen and by combining these small sums—the price of one meal which I can easily do without—the KU alumni were able to present Phog who has devoted his life to character building and not to making money, with a Cadillac.
I rode a horse to KU in 1909 but now I want Phog Allen to have a Cadillac and I wanted to contribute much more than the $5 limit imposed on us. If the professor's most unkind letter put any dust on the windshield of Phog's new car, let us all hasten to wipe it clean.
Sincerely yours,

One Man's Opinion
There are 1,460 million bushels of wheat in storage in the United States at the present time, but there is a shortage of wheat for millers and other domestic users of the grain.
Central Falls, R.I. —(U.P.) A second-hand city hall is up for sale. So far Finance Director E. Donald McLoughlin has reported only two false nibbles—one by a church, the other by a noodle company.
WANT A CITY HALL?
This grain may be purchased by millers and others but the price set on it is higher than current market prices. This condition is not a good one. The variations of market prices are one of the hazards that all persons with materials to buy or sell must face.
Yet the flour and milling interests of the country are forced to pay above market prices or not have enough to meet demands.
With more than three-fourths of the wheat of the country in storage with a higher than market price on it the situation could develop into one which would result in a serious condition. Such a situation is not likely to come up but the potential for it exists.
This is not good and is not fair to the wheat users, who ultimately must pass this higher price on to the consumer in order to make his profit.

Marquand Interprets American Businessman
Willis Wayde grew up in the Harcourt belting mills, a family-owned institution presided over by Mr. Henry Harcourt, whom Willis idolized. The Waydes lived in a rented cottage on the Harcourt grounds and Willis' early life was entertained with those of the Harcourt children. Bess and Bill.

Editorial Editor ___ Gene Shank
Ed. Assistants: Elizabeth Wohlgemuth.
Willis had a good head for business and soon became an asset to the Harcourt mill, observing and copying Mr. Harcourt in business and cultural ways. Sometimes he tried too hard and Bess was quick to penetrate his insincerity. Once she called him Uriah Heep, much to Willis' discomfort.

When it finally "became necessary to close down the old Har-court mill, the old-timers in Clyde refused at first to believe that Willis had let them down. Many defended him, for a while. Willis felt bad about it too, but what could he do? When he met Bess unexpectedly in Paris though, his complacency was badly shaken. Willis Wayde is sure to rank high among the portraits in the Marquand gallery. —United Press
