Soldiers Want Jobs, Not Loans
Among Congressional steps toward the rehabilitation of service men who will return home following the war, has been the provision for certain amounts of money to be paid them (mustering out pay) to provide them with temporary funds. Other Congressional proposals are that discharged service men be provided with a form of unemployment compensation and be made government loans for as long as they remain unemployed as civilians. A great number of our Congressmen knowledge already the probability of an economic slump following the present industrial inflation. They are, so as to speak, throwing in the towel without half a fight.
Instead of preparing forms of artificial economic shelter for these returning men, who want more than anything to resume the jobs they held before going into service. Congress should be busy planning how these men can see the fulfillment of these desires. Certainly, most exservicemen will repudiate any attempt on the part of the government to say, in effect, "You need no worry about working; the government will support you in this terrible depression that is bound to be thrust upon us."
Congress should give a supporting boost to private industry (all the time letting it remain a private industry), to make possible ready and waiting jobs for the returning warriors who will appreciate good occupations much more than generous government doles. There does not have to be an economic depression, and Congress should not expect returning veterans to find contentment in sitting idle while waiting for the postman to bring the next installment of his mustering out pay, government loan, or pension.

You Can't Win — Our editor is sporting a cut lip. We haven't heard his version of the story yet, but whether he is telling the true tale, or leaving it to supposition, he is still behind the eight ball.
Monday night seems to have been a night for general merry-making. What the Phi Gams were celebrating remains a mystery, but the Phi Psis were rejoicing, we hear, over the return to the told of a group of last year's members. They did a thorough job of visiting all the sorority houses, and after putting on a floor show par courtesy for Kappa Kappa Gamma they arrived in high spirit(s) at Chi Omega.
In round tones the sweetheart song was rendered. No response. So they sang it again. Still no response. But the third time was the charm. The song neared the middle; the line, "I found you in a dream, dear," and Editor Simms succumbed

and landed in Chi Omega's flower bed.
Ab. Science — The geology department has been doing its share of research work lately, too. Over the weekend a group went on a field trip to the Colorado Rockies. We hear that some very good pictures were taken of interesting formations. Oh yes, there are some interesting rocks in the background, too.
In A Word — Overwhelming! — Members of the psychology department visited the State Hospital in Topeka Monday. Barbara Barnjum, Alpha Chi, evidently was more immediately impressed with what the hospital has to offer than anyone else in the party. The group scarcely got through the door—when Barbara fainted!
