A Little Change Won't Hurt—a Lot
The student court should be credited with handing down an unusually intelligent decision in the case of the Kansas State campus painters just completed. Especially creditable is the decision in that it was reached by the court after much investigation and much deliberation, and delivered in spite of the fact that it was to be reviewed and was subject to change by both the Men's Student Council and the Chancellor before it could be called a final judgment.
It is a credit to the Men's Student Council and to the Chancellor that they saw fit not to change the judgment. But from this one case can come no particular credit to the system. When the right of review exists, it is inevitable that decisions will be changed in the future, and no court can truly be called a court when its decisions are subject to change by two different agencies before they can be published as final judgment.
Again, credit should go to a court that has reached an intelligent and just decision in spite of discouraging handicaps. . . Credit should go to a student council that recognized the value of the decision. But that same council should recognize the value of the court as a free agency of student government. The administration of the University should recognize the legitimate function of a judicial body in the conduct of student government.
The decisions of the court should, by constitutional amendment, be made final, subject only to appeal to the administrative authority by regular methods of appeal.
Under the present setup, the council cannot change the court organization, and cannot, even though so inclined, give up the right of review of the court decisions.
With all due respect for the administration as the final authority in the University, it seems a bit inconsistent that the student court cannot receive the recognition that would give it some of the self-respect so necessary to a court.
In view of the fact that the present Men's Student Council is anxious to make some worthwhile revisions in the system, and that under the proposed change the Chancellor would be the appellate court, it is apparent that no logical reasoning blocks the way to reform.
Hanson Is As Hanson Does (groan)
The national labor relations board, in attempting to subpoena magazine material which appeared in Mill and Factory bitterly condemning the board in its trial of the Wierton Steel company case, has run squarely against Mr. Elisha Hanson.
Mr. Hanson charges that "the subpoena represents an open and dangerous attack on freedom of the press." And no one in America knows more about freedom of the press than Mr. Hanson.
Mr. Hanson is at present attorney for Barclay and Conover-Mast, publishers of Mill and Factory, but he has held higher offices.
As special missionary to the United States Congress from all the publishing and news print industry in America, he attained frontpage prominence in the Black investigation of lobbying methods during February and March last year. The committee, headed by the then Senator Hugo L. Black of Alabama, was suspicious of the means which utilities had used in their futile attempt to block passage of the Wheeler-Rayburn bill, which meant the death sentence to holding companies. So, copies of telegrams were subpoenaed by the committee, and then as now, Elisha Hanson protested against a violation of free speech. He knew what was in the telegrams.
Truly, there is no one in America who knows more about freedom of the press—at least one who has used it as a false defense so frequently—as does Elisha Hanson.
As attorney for the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1934, Mr. Hanson flashed into the news when he condemned the National Recovery Administration newspaper code—which refused to allow newspapers to use child labor, to fire employees without showing just cause, to operate in fire traps, or to underpay reporters—as a violation of a free press. For this battle against the code, Paul Y. Anderson, former Washington correspondent for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and at present with the Nation magazine, awarded Elisha Hanson and the A.S.N.E. "the annual award for hypocrisy, smugness, intellectual dishonesty, and general misrepresentatin."
A Back Handed Bouquet
Pharmaceutical manufacturers have drawn some scattered criticism as a result of the recent deaths from elixir of sulphanilamide,
which is ordinarily a beneficial drug when properly compounded. However, this instance might be used as a back-handed testimonial to the efficiency of the pharmaceutical profession.
It illustrated dramatically the damage that can be done by the slightest mistake in their endeavors, yet the very rareness of the case and the efficiency with which all of the elixir was traced testify to the high batting average of excellence of our druggists and drug laboratories

Got a Point. Pal
Editor, Daily Kansas:
"The University last year graduated a class that has never been inside anything but a dismantled and unsafe Dyche. Next year another such class will be trained . . . This is deplorable at leap." (Kansan Dec. 1.)
There is no quarrel made with the Kansan's campaign. There is no doubt that Dyche museum a and D spooner-Thayer museum are both valuable assets to the University. They are both fine places to take out a book from the library or even to contention here is that student visitors to the completed Dyche will be much fewer even than the attendants at conventions. It would seem that the fruit of their desire is desired by many but really enjoyed by only a few.
It would be an interesting study to ascertain just how many members of that class have ever been inside the Spooner-Thayer museum and it isn't dismantled adequately, adequate proportional estimate would be 10 per cent.
"Even if you had a fine, sturdy, uncondemned building in which to reside, how would you like to be a stingy, churned-up employee?"

The first Christmas Seal sale in this country was held in Wilmington, Delaware, in December, 1907. Since then each year from Thanksgiving through Christmas these colorful holiday stickers have been sold throughout the country by state and local tuberculosis associations who carry on a nation-wide educational campaign to control tuberculosis. This year marks the thirtieth birthday of the penny Christmas Seal.
