They Are Asking for It
Students in the department of geology have posted a petition asking for the addition of a course in photography in the University curriculum. Murmurs of similar petitions in other departments point to a general demand and need for such a course.
Photography, a relatively new field of science encompassing a large and growing expanse of knowledge, looms too large and is too much in the spotlight to be ignored by the University. It should consider this new science of pictures not as a goal in itself, but as a mechanical aid and tool in all the science subjects.
Pictures supply a means of teaching for the educator, of recording scientific data that cannot be preserved in any other manner for the scientist, of reporting for the journalist. Enumerating, we are only able to scratch the surface. For instance, engineers are finding pictures invaluable in recording the progress of construction, to show details of design and in organizing notebooks wherein pictures replace sketches.
Students in many departments cannot call their education complete until they have learned something of the principles of optics, the chemistry of development and printing of pictures, and of problems connected with exposure.
They are demanding a course in this science at the University of Kansas.
Arches And Autos
Six hundred applicants and four hundred cases of fallen arches among them. . . that is the problem facing the newly elected Parking Committee. This committee had the responsibility of issuing permits and licenses for driving and parking on the Hill.
Surely there can be discovered some far-reaching significance in this general collapse of the pedal extremities of frequenters of the Hill. Can it be the contention that automobiles will bring about the physical deterioration of the race, has at least received a ray of substantiation? Can it be that the almost vertical nature of Mount Oread has brought about this alarming prevalence of excuses for staying out of the army?
Or do lots of persons just want licenses?
Wassermann at O.U.? Yes!
Wassermann at K.U.? No!
Without fuss, without agitation, and without fear the University of Oklahoma has introduced compulsory Wassermann examination for new students. This test is to be administered in connection with the general health examination and the results of all tests are to be kept confidential, requiring only that the student having syphilis receive treatment as specified by law.
Students at the University of Kansas desire that the Wassermann be included in our physical examination. Last year a sampling of student opinion showed no objection. This year new students taking the entrance examination have asked to be given this test, and now more students have volunteered for the Wassermann than can be handled by present hospital facilities. The Men's Student Council has petitioned the Board of Regents and the Chancellor to approve this examination.
But administrative authorities would object that even the voluntary syphilis test would cause the general public to suspect that venereal disease was running rampant at our state university, and it it was no fit place for a decent child. However, the inclusion of the Wassermann in Oklahoma University's entrance examination, and in compulsory form at that, has not been accompanied by screening headlines and branding of that school as a den of infiquity.
Another, and even less valid objection, is to the cost of administering this test. . Under the proposed setup the Wassermann test at the University of Kansas was to be financed as a federal project with federal funds. If the regents and Board of Health withhold their approval the money will be used for some other project—possibly the construction of a dam which may collapse upon completion.
Side by Side On the Table Sat
That John L. Lewis and William Green are the leaders of labor no one doubts, but where is the man who does not doubt where these two men are leading labor?
For the past year the trend has been away from the labor-capital feud to that of a battle of brothers, and labor is losing much good ground as a consequence. Here are two men carrying much responsibility which they continually abuse, much to the consternation of labor and glee of the capitalists and dividend collectors.
Will the laboring classes tire of this banner-carrying drama? Will labor see the point and put a stop to the pro-capitalisite actions of Green and Lewis in their war on each other? Who will be the first to recognize the fact that laborers must be united at all costs if it is to realize its objectives?
Jungle Law Or Civilized Justice?
Law-abiding, justice-worshiping. America gsaped this week at news of the vengeance death of a retired army officer, slain in Kentucky by three brothers of the woman he is accused of murdering.
The attitude of the killers, as reported in the papers, is shocking to any person (and that means almost everybody) who has the conventionally complacent outlook that everything is as it should be and "all's right with the world."

But here were three men who refused to sit quietly by and "see justice take its course." Their action, if explicable at all, was an expression of distrust of the American judicial system, amounting, by its violence, to an open condemnation.
Can their indictment be quashed? We have done much in recent years to improve methods for apprehending criminals, yet our system of "rendering justice" is fundamentally the same as it was 300 years ago. Delay is the watchword, and offenders frequently serve longer terms before conviction than after. It is high time an efficiency expert were put to remodeling our creaking and outmoded courts.
Capatin Kidd would turn over in his Davey Jones' locker, if he could hear us modern refer to those mysterious Mediterranean submarines as "pirates."

Lamented Likenesses Are Developed in Library Basement

The students' horror, the pitfall of the registration line—the taking of identification pictures. Today the results of the momentary experience will be ready for distribution. Be careful when viewing the results the lies inter-
To secure thih highly prized photograph the student must first stop for a moment in front of a finely made camera. Thirty-five faces are recorded on each roll of a movie film. During a rushing period a rate of 400 an hour was maintained for short periods. A rate of 300 an hour was customary for an hour's film. The rate of 50 an hour of film are taken to the office of the Photographic Bureau for development.
Bureau Is in Library
Bingham Supervises Work
Mr. Oren Bingham, in charge of the photographic service, has designed the out system used. Mr. Bingham was a student in the chemistry department when he first became interested in a photographic service project. The artist did done was in the apprehension
Only last year observers about the campus noticed the construction going on at one side of the library. On the east side of the building are steep steps leading down to an almost hidden laboratory, the Photographic Bureau. It is here that identification pictures are produced. The office is built under the library proper. A five-foot ledge of glass covers the walls and the five rooms composing the complete laboratory. The oddly assorted equipment has been assembled through the kindly efforts of many individuals. One table came from the old Spooner library; another was from the old student hospital and was donated by Dr. Catueson. The refrigerator is once one used at Corbin hall. A rack for drying the pictures has been made from a wooden chest. The cabinet was given by Mr. C. G. Bales, superintendent of buildings and supernets.

of a student who had stolen examination papers from a professor of chemistry. In a thick layer of dust the thief had left finger prints and a picture of these fingerprints led to the discovery of the student's photophyography grew, many varying types of services were required. As a result of these growing needs the Photographic Bureau was established. Mr. Bingham, who had been doing work independently for a number of years, was chosen to head the business, established a year ago last April,
Keep Files of Negatives Only last November the laboratory was completed and the bureau's work became a definite part of the University's services. Yesterday afternoon the office was a busy place as Mr. Bingham, two assistants and several students completed work on the identification pictures when they stocked them for distribution to the children of the schools, and the mom's and women's advisors. The rolls of negatives are filed away, easily accessible for future reference.
Thus is concluded only a small part of the Photographic Bureau's work. In two weeks of the year this work is completed. The rest of the year is spent in doing services for all departments of the University. But that is another story.
On the Shin--early in the year, going clear around the lounge and it just kept on growing. The library was the scene of a study and the studying and no little whispering.
