Here Again
Spring Is
Spring is here again.
Spring brings leaves, and flowers, and rains, and fast driving.
We do not object to the floral or climatic aspects of spring.
There is no sense to it.
But we do object to the fast driving angle.
There is no sense to it.
It will continue until someone gets hurt, and then the University will have a campaign to stop fast driving.
We think it ought to stop before someone gets hurt.
It'd be just our luck to be the person hit—if it isn't you.
Cood kissing has supplanted goldfish-gulping. After all, college students thought of the former first.
But Neutrality Laws Might Help
The findings of the Student Opinion Surveys of America that 93.3 per cent of college students do not believe that "our present neutrality law can keep us out of war" must be taken with a bagful of salt. The question unfortunately was "loaded." Most of the students seem to have taken the question to mean "our present neutrality law by itself."
No one claims that neutrality legislation alone can keep us out of war. If public opinion is aroused by propaganda to a war fever, written laws will not stop it from forcing us into a war. The drafters of the neutrality act recognized this fact. They drew up the law in the belief that it would do something toward keeping us out. The purpose of the act was to help keep us out—to be a barrier on the road to war.
The error in the question was doubtless unintentional. If the directors of the poll had realized that the question was "loaded," they would not have asked it. It is, however, a regrettable incident, for many who will not bother to read the question itself will interpret the results to mean that college students favor the repeal of all neutrality legislation.
Vera Zorina, dancer of the stage, thinks that if everybody talked as Shakespeare wrote the world would be benefited. Well, doubtless everybody would then understand Shakespeare's plays.
Bosses Are Now Passe
America is coming of age. Gone are the colorful and glamorous bad-men who blot the pages of our history books—the pirates, frontier ruffians, Puritan rum-running slave-traders, the old-type bootlegger and ganster have passed largely into the land of legend. Now we have come to the Twilight of the Political Bosses. Their day is passing, and twentieth century politics are their down-fall.
The past month has seen the blown off of two of the country's biggest Democratic boss-ruled machines, Jimmy Hines, New York Tammany boss and policy Santa Claus, is free on $35,000 bail and may be in Sing-Sing by Thanksgiving. Thomas J. Pendergast, hitherto invulnerable overlord of Kansas City's notorious machine, has been indicted by a federal grand jury. Edward J. Kelly of the Kelly-Nash Democratic machine was the only boss sitting pretty this week, and in the recent Chicago mayoralty race he was re-elected by only a very small majority of votes.
The United States government through its crusading Attorney General Murphy has declared war on political corruption. Murphy has told his district attorneys to snap into their work by cleaning up their dockets, and to proceed uninflunchness despite any political overlords. Last week Murphy made a whirlwind 48-hour tour of inspection of five big Midwest cities. His stop in Kansas City was followed almost immediately by the Pendergast indictment.'
Presidential backing of this active attack on Democratic machines may be interpreted in several different ways: (1) unheasant fearlessness because of decision for no third-term campaign; (2) backing of crusading Governor Stark of Missouri as a possible Democratic 1940 white-hope; (3) a counter-attack to minimize New York's Republican Thomas Dewey in his cleanup of Tammany.
Enrollment in the University is 60 less this spring than in the fall, proving that canvassing politicians have something to be happy about.
An aroused public and an indignant federal government may result in the biggest cleanup in American politics in the history of the nation.
Campus Opinion
Now that open season has been declared on the builtwered masculine element by the astute Hill politicists, perhaps a little puncturing of dream castle conjured up for the gullible students would be appro-
Editor, Daily Kansan:
One of the planks in the platform of a major party is the districting of independent students for intramural sports. To quote: "District the independent student rooming houses in order to expand the men's"
Primarily this sugar-cated pill is for the purpose of securing a large independent vote. But let us look at the proposal in its true light. The intramural deputy does not choose a majority in the number of members. As a matter of fact, it has been necessary at times to limit the number of entries. It is not a lack of teams or players, but of organization that troubles the indeterminate should most certainly not be remedied by districting.
On the other hand such a scheme would break up at least half of the independent teams, so the only independent team would be wicket takers. In baseball, for instance, it is inconceivable that playmakers, catchers and support teams could be found in one district. The districting proposal would produce consistently teams with most all probability an independent team, while independently so far this year, under the present system, three championships have been won by independent teams.
Az for giving the independents more chance to play, there is at least one organization which is always open to new members. The larger and stronger the organization becomes, the more teams that are represented in Az, the more teams have been entered from it in all major sports. This proposal one to benefit the independent
Is this proposal one to benefit the independent cause, or is it to the advantage of the majority of the people?

WINFORD FERRY, Manager, Galloping Domino
Recently I have noticed book matches appearing on the Campus request supporting for a certain campus building. There are many different understandings, but due to previous experiences with auctions, I have known for some time that such tactics can be effective. For example, the election laws of Kansas, I have also been informed that such tactics are against the election laws of the United States.
Is this body not functioning as it should or is it so important that they do not know their own laws? How can we ensure that the vote for election as the political parties of KU, does not expect an intelligent voter to support either of them if they elect such dilutary men to office that they do not have the power to govern themselves; nor do I think a candidate should ask for election to the highest office on the Hill, when they disobey these laws they will take an oath to uphold as soon as they get elected.
Perhaps the Goldfiddlers are right and student government is as bad or worse than they think. Considering the cost of such publicity it will soon take a his son's son to be elected to the Men's Student Council.
If this is an example of student government as well as the party's yearly Council, I shall cast my lot with the party that I represent.
I have always heard that legislators were a little lax in those things they should be best in, and after this glaring example of so ignorant a body, I won’t let them go to school, such training schools as the Men’s Student Council.

Nearly Half of Students Earn While They Learn
By Mary Jane Sigler e'39
By Mary Jane Sigler, c. 25
Did you know that nearly half of the University students are partially or entirely self-supporting? Information about your student cards reveals that 56 per cent of the men and 30 per cent of the women consider education to be worth working for.
There has been some sort of a men's employment bureau sponsored by the University ever since back in the 90's. For a while the bureau was handled by the Y.M.C.A., but since 1922 it has been located in
One of the most active of the several University employment agencies is the men's employment bureau, of which Mrs. Frank Parker is secretary, and Fred Ellsworth, alumni secretary, the director.

A week from today the campus election will be over and all the momentous problems which seem so urgent in their importance they deserve.
If all the newspaper men in the state who are claiming to have gone to school with the Chancellor-elect attend the football games next year, the problem of filling the stadium will be solved.
The lone Republican member of the Kansas City council has our sympathy. Everytime the council does anything, the Democratic members must first adjourn and hold a caucus so they will be sure to outvote the Republican member. The only way he can get back at them is to hold his own caucus while the Democrats wrangle hind closed doors—which, in our opinion, is not much consolation. But perhaps he's used to the whole thing and has learned to bring along
Mrs. Parker has been men's em-ployment secretary for more than four years, and under her super vision the bureau had gradual grown until now there are 705 men registered for work (10 years) after they only 78 registered. Lauren also has 1120 men enrolled in 1120 college jobs for students.
If the employment bureau wage totals can be used as an index to employment in general, times are better this year than they were. The wages earned by men registered in the bureau of ten months of this year (June to March inclusive) amount to several hundred dollars more than the twelve-month total for last year.
Wage Total Shows Big Gain
Mrs. Parker attributes this gain to the increasing confidence of the Lawrence townpeople and business firms in the men's working ability, as well as to better times. There are now 199 business firms and towns-

Ability For Job Is Main Requisite
The Men's Employment Bureau operates quite differently from the CSEP program. The CSEP gives a man a job because he needs it. Other things being equal, the bureau gives the job to the man that needs it the most, but the prime requisite is that the man can do the job well. If the employer is dissatisfied with a certain student who will be average in his class, the bureau this reason Mrs. Parker tries to impress men going out on jobs that they have the responsibility for other University men getting jobs.
Mrs. Parker always strives to please the prospective employers by sending them men that comply with desired specifications. However, Mrs. Parker has very peculiar requests. There is the man that wants a blond boy with blue
