Lest Drunk With Sight of Power—
One billion dollars! What shall we do with it?
Mr. Jonathan Mitchell, in his article "Instead of Battleships" in the New Republic for Feb. 16, tells us several ways in which we could use the money.
For about four billions we could solve the water-basin problems of our country. We have engineering knowledge and skill to end erosion and floods, to create great amounts of hydroelectric power, and to prevent disease-breeding pollution.
Early in 1936 President Roosevelt commanded the National Resources committee to prepare a second six-year plan. This committee published about a year ago its report which lists 10,000 projects which will require six years to complete at a cost of $5,040,000,000. The first year's expenditures would amount to $1,058,-568,650.
For $500,000,000 we could provide erosion control for the entire country. The department of agriculture submitted projects for about 21/2 billion dollars, most of which is for building better and safer roads. The forest service is lacking adequate funds for fire lanes and observation posts to reduce the hazards of forest fires and replant bill-sides.
For $5,000,000 the bureau of entomology and plant quarantine pledges itself to eradicate permanently the four worst insect blights we have.
For funds amounting to the cost of four battleships, the bureau of public health could virtually wipe out venereal disease in the United States. At present we are spending $31,400,000 each year for the care of those syphilis has made insane and about $10,000,000 for those it has blinded. According to many medical authorities we are so close to the final mystery in cancer research that with adequate funds it could probably be solved.
Mr. Mitchell concludes by saying "we do have to choose between battleships, which are dead economic waste, and the several thousand public-work projects now locked up in Washington which in many cases would be revenue-producing, and in every case would make this country healthier and more civilized."
For international enmity or for national amity—One billion dollars! How shall it be spent?
We'll Take The Big Apple
"The Big Apple" has meant many things in the life of college students the past winter but Dr. E. R. Guithrie of the University of Washington is the only person known to have delved into research on the subject. He concludes: "The popularity of the Big Apple in America indicates a red blooded race above all, and it is probable that such a dance could not have originated in any other nation which is considered civilized."
Perhaps the dance of the Big Apple is as healthful and generally worthwhile to us as the dance of war required of young people of college age in most European countries.
At Ease, Kansas! Red Plot Shall Be Nipped!
Minnesota Daily (University of Minnesota), Feb. 24:
Citizens of Kansas may rest easily once again, thanks to the alertness of two gallant alumni of the state university, Donald Muir and Clay C. Carper, who only last week ferreted out a nest of Reds on the University of Kansas campus.
Unfortunately, the occupants of the nest turned out to include practically the entire student body and faculty. It seems the two doughty alumni discovered their ulma mater taught subjects that were not included in the curricula of Kansas kindergarten. Such subversive subjects as economics, political science and history, for instance, were found to be openly taught and discussed. And what's more, one former student, 19-year-old Don Henry, developed such a high regard for democracy while at the university that he went to Spain and died fighting for it.
So Mr. Muir and Mr. Carper spread the alarm. They aroused an otherwise lethargic state house of representatives to the point of voting 92 to 4 in favor of an immediate investigation. And next week, if the Kansas senate proves to be as patriotic as the house, the Kansas campus will be cleansed of all subversive elements.
It is unfortunate that the work of two such ambitious and active men as the afore-mentioned alumni will be completed so soon. They
may become restless. But when the snow melts they will find another outlet for their energies. Then it will be possible for them to play marbles—a game just as old-fashioned and just as American as that of hunting imaginary Reds.

The late and unlamented proposal to appropriate $7,500 to hunt wintches at the University is b but the fleece cloud that precedes the storm. It does not and cannot be used in an event—an inner embrace it is just the beginning.
Rather it is just the beginning. It will be a continuation under which we live—or as R. S. Hoyte, associate professor of economics, says, "As much laissez faire as we have been able to afford"—becomes more and more incapable of right economic disorders, thought beyond the time when civilization was wiltliving space. As civilization heads toward its extinction in a bigger and better world war with each nation motivated by some sillly catchword new thoughts beyond time-worn patriotism, beyond the traditions of our country, beyond the institutions of the nation will become increasingly popular.
At such times those whose interests lie with the preservation of traditional standards will not be interested in the free discussion of these standards or in an enlightened search for new standards. At such times, tolerance of the views of others is at a premium; the right of man to hold a dissentive opinion is given grudgingly; if at all, the right to teach and inform may what eventually may be proved wrong comes high.
The M.S.C.-W.S.C.A. forums board which retreated from its unanimous decision to bring to the Campus Anna Louise Strong, former editor of the Moscow Daily Worker, did so in the belief that the proposed investigation was an intertude—not a beginning—and that a retreat now would strengthen its position. It will be assumed, if surrendered in time of stress, will be that much easier to abandon at some later period.
That the investigation has been avoided this time and that the red-baiting legislature has adjourned, does not mean that members of the administration are not still worried. Mount Oread may expect a gradual restriction of access of which it intends to impose. Opposition to the invasion of these rights must be ever stiffened.
But the University is not alone. The church, the school, peace groups, minority party gatherings—in short, wherever there is a departure from thought and action in the groupus of the past, there will be

Headlines Have Changed Greatly in Three Centuries
Nothing else about a newspaper is so distinguishing as its headline. Suppose the Kansas City Star would run a "streamer" across the top of its page in one and one quarter inch heavy type. According to the precedent it has established for itself, such a head would herald an event more important than anything which has ever happened during its existence. But the Chicago Tribune uses just such a headline every day.
Most newspapers can be recognized almost as far away as they can be seen by their make-up, and headlines are a large part of makeup. A paper with a "buried name-plate," one which carries headlines above its name, and other papers which have large heads scattered heater-skeletor over the front page every day in "circus make-up" are almost invariably sensational, or "yellow." Conservative papers stick to single column heads with light type.
Headlines Give Summary
Modern headlines attempt to give the reader a summary of the story, and reflect the editor's estimation of the story's value to the reader. A good headline gives the most important facts of the story and lists the reader interest in the detailed information. Back in the seventeenth century, when headlines first were started, one newspaper looked much like any other—all were a blur of fine type, unbelievable by any pictures or large print whatsoever. When the first headlines appeared there were seldom more than one or two on a page, and those were but one column wide, much like the little sub-head which break up the modern news
"Decks," the separate sections of a headline, usually printed in different sizes of type and having a short line between them, were first used by American newspapers during the Civil War. The Declaration of Independence
The year 1800 found papers with one line headles. The Boston Gazette carried typical heads on its stories about the war of 1812, "War of War" and "Alarming News," Beau Piracy, "Alarming News," a d c "Hopeful News."
New Startling Headlines
Following the Civil War newspapers began to add more and more "decks" to their headlines. It was not until about this time that any of the content of the story was put into the headline. Some papers began the practice of having the headline divided into as many as 14
In 1861, W. F. Storey bought the Chicago Times. He started a campaign to force people to sit up and notice his paper by the use of startling headlines. One of his staff is supposed to have originated that most famous head for hangings, "Jerked to Jesus."
From 1900 until the end of the World War most papers looked much like the conservative ones do today. From the one column, one line heads of century before they had gone to large heads with many decks often filling two or three columns to a depth of ten inches with a "streamer" across the top. "Streamers" as we know them originated with the sensational papers during the Spanish-American war, and have been retained by the same class of papers as every-day features.
decks, all of different sized type, but all reading in a continuous sentence. Thus a reader when he read the headline instead of getting several connected facts merely read the first sentence of the story. This head is now making a come-back as a "rocket" head. The principal is the same, though only two or three decks are used and modern type gives it an up-to-date appearance.
Conservative Heads
A few years ago "streamlined" heads were first used. In a "streamlined" head all the lines begin flush with the left side of the column, letting the right side end where it will, rather than being balanced as was the customary practice. The Cleveland Plain Dealer was one of the first large newspapers to try these heads, and the Daily Kansas was one of the first Kansas newspapers to apply Allen White adopted this style of headlines. They are commonly limited to two decks, and stress simplicity. They are the latest innovation in headlines.

"British Poetry" was the subject discussed yesterday by Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes in the course of lee- ing class. The literature for English majors.
Because Miss Hoopes thought the group would be more interested in earlier poets than the very recent ones, she confined her remarks to the earlier contemporary English poets. She cited Thomas Hardy as one of the better poets of the English school, since he was the most famous English writing. The fact that English authors are less given to experimental writing, because of their classic background was stressed.

"Hardy has a cold, harsh way of presenting hard facts, but he always has tenderness back of it," said Miss Hoopes.

Gerrard Manley Hopkins was quoted as saying: "It is a happy hing that there is no royal road to诗ery."
Other poets from which she read passages included Robert Bridges, A. E. Housman, Yeats, George W. Hodgson, and Walter De La Mare.

In discussing poetry in general, Miss Hoopes explained that the reader should be able to tell from reading the poem what the author was thinking or what he had in mind while writing. She does not
feel that real poetry needs to be explained.
"Poetry should go on and on in one's mind; as you think about a poem, more meaning comes to you," she said. The speaker also pointed out that the reading of poetry is a treating and exacting thing in itself.
