Kansan Comment
Better Balanced and Managed Kansas Is in the Making
Two of the outstanding accomplishments of the recent Kansas legislature were the reorganization of state departments and the creation of an industrial development commission. A better balanced and managed Kansas should result from these actions.
For years, Kansas has been noted principally as an agricultural state. Kansas has an abundance of agricultural resources but, in addition, it also has great/quantities of non-agricultural raw materials—oil and gas, zinc, commercial clays and minerals. A surplus of available man power, good financing, transportation and marketing facilities, numerous favorable industrial sites, and a tradition of fair and reasonable employee and employer relationships, make Kansas a good state for new industries.
With all of these qualities, Kansas has been backward in advertising its advantages. The state has failed to sell its economic possibilities. While the new commission cannot create a great industrial development over night or move huge industries into the state, it can assemble and direct attention to information which will be of value to those seeking industrial sites, and to those who are interested in taking advantage of the opportunities that Kansas has to offer.
During the depression years, the Burdens on the state government have increased at an abnormal pace. The many departments, bureau, and commissions recently added to the state administration have no doubt resulted in duplications and over-lapping activities.
The lack of a uniform policy and the improper grouping of these agencies also added to the cast of government. To remedy this condition, the new re-organization bill aims to eliminate political dominations in departments, to reorganize the board of regents and other bodies along bi-partisan lines, and to abolish the danger of one-man dictorships or dominations in certain commissions.
The new department of revenue and taxation which has been designed to absorb both of the old departments which functioned separately, will also be able to collect state taxes much more efficiently. In fact changes for the better have been effected in practically all departments of the state government. And Kansas, no doubt, will benefit from the construction work of the 1939 legislative session.
Nazis in Argentina Overplay Their Hand
German Nazis through their recent action involving Patagonia have seriously injured their chances of effectively penetrating the most promising of their South American markets, and have also ruined the effectiveness of their political propaganda in this section. The Argentinians, strongly nationalistic, are resentful of any attempts to encroach upon their sovereignty.
The Nazis have been in trouble for some time with South American governments over their activities among their nations residing there. They have tried to force the use of Nazi symbols in schools, and 'have tried to teach children of German settlers allegiance to the Reich rather than to the countries in which they live. These moves have failed repeatedly.
Although the various governments have reacted differently in relation to this problem, many of them have taken definite action against these activities. The Brazilian regime, headed by President Vargas, closed German schools and political clubs last year after the Fascist uprising, Argentina, Chile, and Peru took similar steps when like conditions were found in their territories.
Argentinians are especially dislikable of any moves against their nationalism. They have carried a feud with Great Britain ever since 1833 over the latter's occupation of the Falkland Islands; they almost went to war in 1903 with Chile over a few peaks in the Andes, and they have shown enmity toward the United States at most Pan-American Conferences because they consider the Monroe Doctrine a one-sided, patronizing document.
What effect the recent discovery of a German plot in Argentina will have with the trade agreement between the two countries is not yet known, but many political authorities believe it will tend to lessen the anti-American feeling in that country, and will result in better trade agreements with the United States.
President Ortiz of Argentina has pledged investigation "embracing every nook and cranny of the nation," into the alleged German attempts to challenge Argentina sovereignty over Patagonia. The Nazis have now done the one thing that is sure to alienate Argentina, a market that the Berlin government has so carefully been trying to cultivate for their own interests.
'Lie Detectors' Help To Determine Justice
During the last few years, the use of mechanical evidence in trials in American courtrooms has increased noticeably. Last week in a Kansas City courtroom a defendant changed his formal plea of "not guilty" to "guilty" after he was presented with a transcribed recording of a confession he had made following his arrest.
The device which has received the most publicity has been the so-called "lie detector," which some states have allowed as evidence in their courts. In attempting to determine the amount of alcohol consumed by accused persons other courst have allowed as testimony the results of blood tests. For years testimony of ballistics experts—and other experts has been admitted.
The increased use of these mechanical devices should further the ends of true justice. Psychologists have proven reliably that human beings can rarely remember and accurately reconstruct a series of events that they may have witnessed while excited. The evidence of the eye witness is much less reliable than it is usually assumed to be. Mechanical means of fact determination are needed to check the eye witnesses' accounts. The corrupt and selfish motives that too often influence evidence offered in our modern courts may be somewhat combatted by the use of irrefutable evidence such as mechanical evidence furnishes.
Better dispensation of justice and a saving of the tax-payer's money should result from the use of "mechanical witnesses" in the future. This is true, of course, only if these machines have been proven reliable and are operated by unbiased and trained operators. Science has contributed much towards the cause of justice by improved means of detection. It should prove as valuable in the presentation of the facts detected.

Stockton Gives Seniors A.B.C's of Job Hunting
Few individuals in the University come more frequently in contact with the besetting fears and perplexities of graduating students than does F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business. Through advising students and acting as an intermediary between potential employers and employees, Dean Stockton provides universities which are most frequently sought by business concerns. Brains Alone Are Not Enough
Laying aside the cap and gown in a day of competition and uncertain incomes, 1389's University graduates are concerned with securing jobs after receiving their diplomas. With little knowledge of application procedure or the type of work to seek, much of the confidence which comes with a degree is dispelled by the uncertainties of job-seeking.
"Individuals, like water, tend to find their own level, and the superior person will eventually work into the superior position," continued the author in the popular belief that there's a room for a good man at the top.
"Upon entering the business world, the primary things which an individual sells are his intellectual ability and his personality," said Dean Stockton. "Although business concerns are interested in people whose academic records reflect intellectual progressiveness, they also want personal qualities which influence and interest others.

According to a notice on the librarian bulletin board, some of the girls down at Gower Place are organizing an Errol Flynn Fan Club. If the girls run into organization troubles this department would be glad to offer its help—little though it might be hard. In honor of the high mulch of a similar club in honor of Buddy Rogers and we know all the tricks.
Sometimes when it seems that the world is too much with us what with Tyrone Power on one side and Errol Flyon on the other, we just think how rapidly and completely Buddy Rogers faded from the public eye, and somehow the thought gives us great consolation.

The chancellor-elect's name is pronounced with the accent on the last syllable, but he will probably pronounce it in a way such as if the accent was on the first.
"Spring," we are told by the Man who plays the radio at the Union building this morning, "is finally here. I can smell it in the air." We tip the for tip, he answered. "I'll wear my overcoat this afternoon."
If we remember Pucciini's opera correctly, when Madame Butterfly sings the famous aria "Un Bel DVendrorem," she is living in poverty and on the verge of starvation, having been deserted by all except her old trusted maid. Therefore it was a shock to see Jeannette MacDonald secreting in "Broadway Serenade" in a courtship that would do justice to the palace of the Mikado, and surrounded by a dozen maids, each dressed in costumes that would keep the Chinese-Japanese war going for a month.

Jayne Coats is the first Ye Shiman has noted to come forth wearing hair the new "three-inches-long- all-over" wavy. On her bownets betwomen passing fair being sort of a cross between a crown and a black halo.
Came a letter from Brewster Powers not long ago telling of a friend who tried to date a dame without success until he impressed her by asking he'd read "Manners Make Men."
Initiative shown by the individual who makes trips to various cities in order to secure a position is relied upon by the institution of self-confidence and police.
Beware of Gum and Manish Dress
Preference is given young women who combine business mentalities with personal charm. Women who dress and act manishly are decidedly out of style. Gum-chewers of both sexes are avoided and regarded as lacking good business sense. Balances and good taste, not only in what is often said, but also in the ways he books and acts, are essential qualities in obtaining positions.
Finally, Dean Stockton advise that there be no delayed job-seeking after graduation. "For any job is better than none at all, and small initial financial compensation should not be discouraging. Employers are interested in the advancement of capable efficient young men, and promotion comes with increased indispensability to the firm."

The social innovation of 1939 will get its first trial on the Campus next Saturday when members of the LS. A, get together in the Union building for two hours of dancing. No stags are allowed. Instead, a system of "double-cutting" will be used. If the idea works, maybe it would be fun to try it out at a mid-week sometime.
Ether waves, disturbed each Thursday evening at 6:15 by Clyde Smith's band via WREN, will be soothed tonight by songstress Jane Schleangl, guest artist. Henceforth, Mr. Smith will select performers for every broadcast. Next Thursday it is the Gamma Phi trio, whom most of you will remember as of "Cun Laude."
A few weeks ago Lane Davis inserted an ad in the Kansan requesting his friends to cease calling him "Stinky"—a moniker probably gleaned from Fontaine Fox's Toonville strip. Since the ad appeared I wonder whether if the use of "Stinky" has been abolished. I know how it happened, and I remember when I was a kid my little friends used to call me "Jimmy the Skunk"—a name found frequently in the bedtime of Torton W. Burgess.
