Investigate First-
Then Register. Vote
Friday is the deadline for political registration for the November election. Students over 21 who are not yet registered may make themselves eligible to vote as Lawrence residents if they have been here 30 days and are willing to appear at the Douglas county courthouse and fill out a registration blank on or before that date.
Kansas students who are already registered in their home precincts can vote absentee ballots in Lawrence. Election officials will provide a special polling place at the court house for their convenience. Out of state students must be governed by the laws of their own states in regard to absentee ballots. Some may vote by mail, others must cast their ballots in some polling precinct in their home state.
State ballots in Kansas will be the same here as in any other precinct in the state. Students wishing to vote for county officers in counties other than this one may secure Douglas county ballots, seratch out the county name printed at the top of the ballot, and substitute the name of their own county. Then they must write in the name of the home candidate for each office for which they wish to vote and mark the office as usual.
This year there are an estimated 1,500 regularly enrolled students in the University who are eligible to vote—many of them for the first time. The civic duty of voting cannot be over emphasized, and being "away at school" is no excuse for evading this responsibility: Voting the year one reaches a majority starts a habit which should follow throughout later life. It is on this supposition that democratic theories of government rely for success.
Of course, we have heard all this so often it bores us. It is the old story that has been dinned into our ears since we first enrolled in a history, civics, or constitution course in high school. But there is more to the duty of citizenship than merely casting a ballot regularly. And that is something too often overlooked in standard classroom exhortations to vote.
Casting a ballot without making a preliminary investigation of the candidates or issues involved—the actual ones, not merely the "party" ones—is far worse than not voting at all.
One can only claim to be fulfilling his duty as a citizen when he casts his ballot intelligently, after making a searching analysis of the political problems and men up for selection on the ballot, and basing his decisions thereupon. Only by that method can this country hope to raise the calibre of its politicians generally. Then the call to the polls may at least be expected to signify greater political efficiency and progress in the future.
The University of Michigan will inaugurate in the fall of 1939 an experimental tutorial system modeled on the Oxford plan and similar to systems extant at both Harvard University and Swarthmore College. The first state-supported institution to accept the plan, Michigan will give it a trial period of five years with no more than 100 students enrolled under it at any one time.
Weak Safety Campaigns Rather Than Regulation
Using the standard formula for highway-safety campaigns, Missouri has recently highlighted her main roadways with such signs as: "Death rides this road." "If you drive, don't drink"; "If you drink, don't drive"; and "Use both hands on wheel or park."
Last year 39,000 persons were killed in the United States as a result of highway accidents, while the number of injured was more than 1360,000. This means that, on the average, one person is killed every thirteen minutes, and nearly three are injured each minute.
Though records show an unchecked advance in the number of deaths since 1917, authorities still attempt to meet the problem with such ineffective measures as road signs and observation of "safety week" campaigns.
Thirteen percent of the cars involved in highway accidents last year were reported to have defective equipment. In states having compulsory brake examination, records show one-third of the cars to have defective brakes.
While it is not possible to fully control the individual, the sale and use of unsafe equipment can be abolished to a large degree. A machine with defective brakes is a menace to public safety even in the hands of a careful driver. If bargain hunters would not replace worn parts of their automobiles with inferior grades of merchandise, steering cure-alls, glaring head lights, and inferior brake linings, thousands of accidents could be prevented each year.
The problem of highway safety will not be solved by gentle persuasion of motorists; but it can be minimized by enforced regulation against defective equipment.
Comment
Further Relief For the Needy
Six million under-privileged American families may soon have their diet problem solved. Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture, has proposed that the United States sell its surplus farm commodities at a loss under a two-price system.
These unmarketable surpluses, now occupying costly storage space or going to waste while serving to depress prices, would be distributed among millions of relief and low-income families now ill-nourished and poorly clad.
The distribution would be done by what Wallace describes as a two-price system. While the under-privililed were buying their food at cut rates, other consumers would pay the regular market price. The government would act as an intermediary between producers and relief consumers.
The products which would be sold at the two prices would include cotton goods, milk, butter, cheese, fruits, vegetables and meat products, of which there are surpluses. Agricultural department officials estimate that there are at least six million American families who need larger quantities of these commodities.
Thus the two-price system, officials said, could put products valued at about 840 million dollars in the kitchens of the six million under-privileged families annually for little or no additional cost to them. The bulk of the expense would be borne by other consumers through higher yet "fair and equitable" prices.
Administration farm leaders believe that Secretary Wallace's scheme would go far toward solving the problem of low farm prices and income. This plan is also the administration's reply to those who would "dump" excessive supplies abroad at cut-rate prices in order to remove them as better price barriers.
Although it is yet uncertain whether or not the idea will be put into execution, there are at least six million families willing to indorse it. Can anyone suggest a place where the surplus foodstuffs could be more profitably distributed to increase public welfare?

Havenhill Adds Old-Time Bleeding Outfit To Collection
If you were asked, "Who is Pro L. D. Havenhill?" you would immediately say, "He is the dean of the School of Pharmacy, of course; nearly everyone knows that." But something that compactly few people do know is that Professor Havenhill has a pet hobby other than that of teaching and givin' "pep talks to flunking students"—a hobby of collecting antique shopgloves, books, and other specimens of old drug store equipment. And recently, Mr. Havenhil has added another piece to his collection, of which he is very proud—an旧-time bleeding outfit, which Professor Havenhill believes, is of Swedish make.

The lancet is at its first glance, a small, harmless, hard-made brass box about one by two inches, with a trigger bar projecting from one side; however, closer examination reveals that the bottom side contains 12 slots, in which 12 small razor-edged knife blades are recessed. When cooked, these blades, being on an arm, flap back into position for tripping, so that when the trigger is tripped, they flash in an arc, neatly slicing into ribbons the object pressed against them. The
'Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, K. U.' Known from Cape Town to Juneau
The official yell of the University of Kansas, the Rock Chalk, has "been around." Its echoes have vibrated in such remote places as the Alaskan Klondike, the Philippine Islands, the diamond fields if South Africa, and the shell-torn battlefields of several wars.
E. H. S. Bailey, professor of chemistry, here until his death in 1933, was the originator of the world famous chart, the first of its kind. On May 21, 1886, he submitted it to the Science Club, which adopted it as the club yell. It proved so popular that it was adopted as a University yell the following year. The original form of the yell was "Rah Rahl! Jayhawk, K.U!" Professor A. R. Marsh, who was connected with the English department from 1886 to 1888 suggested that "Rock Chalk" might be substituted for "Rah Rah." He observe that it not only rhymed with Jayhawk, but also included words of the strata of the Cretaceous geological period which covers much of Kansas and which forms a large part of Mount Oreil.
During the World War, enlisted men were so shuffled about that regiments were made up of soldiers from many states. Finally, the University of Kansas doughbags, hoping to find other Jayhawkers, hit upon the idea of chanting their yell to pass units. They would chant "Rock Chawk-awk, Jay Hawk-awk." After a pause, the answer "Kay"
Bleeding (or cupping) outfits this is one we used back in earlier, as a common method of the time of George Washington and treatment for any and all illnesses. "Strange as it may seem" explains Professor Hawvenhill, "our gretreators had a moment could be cured simply by bleeding a person—a belief that is more clearly expressed by the slogan of early doctors—curcublister, and bleed."

We hasten to explain that the "Lawrence Rum Corps" which, according to yesterday's Kansan, is to appear in the Homecoming parade, is not the local alumni organization.
"When a sick person is treated by his bleeding method," says Professor Havenhill, "the lancet is pressed firmly against the fore-arm and the trigger tripped. Then, one of the glass cups is held so as to over the lacations, thus catching the flow of blood. In case the blood is not flowing fast enough to suit the doctor, one of the cups is partly filled with alcohol and a heated. When the alcohol has vaporized, the cup is clapped firmly over the wound. This procedure stimulated the bleeding, for as the blood came a sactioneer is formed. The vintl lamp is used frequently to sear the wound in cases where the blood falls to elot after it is determined enough blood has been extreted."

U-oo" would be heard from Kanvans in the other regiment.
Other American soldiers and the French, British and Belgian troops were impressed with the haunting, musical cadence, and the "Rock Chalk" became a war cry. When the "boys" went over the top the battle-field resounded with the yell of the Jawhawkers.
Company H of Twentieth Kansas Infantry took the Rock Chalk to the Philippines in 1898, outlying the fanatic natives The Jayhawk battle-cry was used in the Boxer rebellion in China. It has been heard also in the diamond fields of South Africa, in the frozen lands of Alaska, on the mission fields, during World War II, and in other places where the young men of Kansas have gone forth to do their part in the world's work.
President Roosevelt, a graduate of Harvard, once called the Jayhawk cheer the greatest college cheer ever devied. Kansas athletics teams have been spurred on for 52 years by the Rock Chalk. Radio fans opponents and spectators hear the yell of the crowd, that as always "KANSAS FIGHTS."
When you hear the familiar "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U" remember that you are hearing a yell known from Cape Town to Junakeu.
