Civil Service Is Political Football, Says Landon
Pittsburgh, Oct. 27—(UP)—Gov. Al M. London charged the Rosewell administration tonight with eonymously seeking to shackle the American people under a "government of spoilment."
"We are getting the first taste of the bitter fruits of personal government," the Presidential nominee stated in a major address, pledging a "gold old-fashioned cleaning." The president said he was avid of political mercenaries.
He accused the administration of destroying the Civil Service progress of a quarter of a century and he outlined his own pledges to restore and expand the merit system to reorganize and consolidate government agencies, to extend the competitive system to postpays to assist political members and to keep political parties officials out of the cabinet
"The President," he charged, "has abandoned his own principles regarding the merit system in civil service in favor of the most open the most evile and most brutal use of this country this country has ever seen."

Guest Editor, Leo Freed
"Diddle" Azher, your broken truths and odd rag man, is having a holiday from his Shin twiddle. He spent so much time last night perfecting a new way to wear the belt buckle on his overcoat that he drained the life-giving fluid of his grenice. So believing that what he would write in his condition could be done by himself, he propositioned me into playing on the typewriter for him. On with the trance ...
Strange as it may seem, chivalry is not dead but was found flowering in the stairway hearts of the Quack Club mercmaids while they were cavorting on their initiation promise. Being a great advocate of a summer sunshine club, they built a fire (theyagine the way some of our beautiful hands went about building a massey nasty fire) and haddled with their backs to it, ice cream bars made their appearance on the deck. They chose a closer gathering to the fire. Just then a sudden dash from the group by one of the girls made the others do likewise. A mouse emerged from one of the logs that had been dragged to the scene of combination. And guess what? One of the girls had good-to-goodness stump speech delving into the philosophy of the benefits of mice to marking, and that cruelty to animals had no place in the Quacker Club. So what did the fems do but tour down the habitat of one of our little demiens of the fields and fields, Hurrah and Cain.
The one who gets my vote for noouchais in the boy who beat over and tied his shirt string while he was playing around him at a mid-week varsity.
While the one who gets my vote for consideration is the student who gets up and turn his girl's picture in, the same year in a "ball session" gets thick!
Two of the freshman beauty queens are in the Fine Arts School. I guess that is where they got their drawing ability.
I hear that John M. Phillips is going steady, but his roommate took his bible to the Mid-Week event and I went to the room where he wrestled the affair either.

Statue of Liberty Carries the Torch For Fifty Years
For 50 long years the Statue of Liberty, holding aloft a torch to enlighten the world, has greeted immigrants and welcomed home those who have traveled afar. Today Miss Liberty celebrates the golden anniversary of her unveiling.
The mammoth hammered-copper statue, towering 152 feet above the pedestal, was presented to the people of the United States by the late Governor Robert B. McNamara, 1896. The Statue of Liberty, Enlightening the World," reads the inscription, "Commemorates the Alliance of the Two Nations in Achieving the Independence of the United States of America." Attends the "Helping Friendship."
The statue was made in sections in France by the sculptor Augustine Bartholdt at a total cost of $700,000 collateral. The sections were shipped to New York and erected on Blecked岛. The people of the United States contributed an additional $200,000 from an foundation and erected the pedestal.
Last year more than 250,000 people visited this memorial, which is the most famous statue in the world. An elevator takes sight-seers up inside the head where there is room for 40 persons to view New York harbor and the city from the windows just under the spikes of the helmet. The torch, held aloft by the 40-foot arm, is large enough to hold dozens per floor.

Washington, Oct. 27. (UPI)—President Roosevelt tonight enters the final lap of his campaign for re-election in splendid health, more cheerful than when he took office and supremely confident of victory.
When asked in a press conference if he had planned for the continuation of the Civilian Conservation Corps, he said he was in his chair and replied that he had, the CCC would be included in the budget with estimates of money needed to care for 300,000 men in the present CCC strength.
Then there was an awkward pause
finally from back of the room, a
voice boomed:
"Well, Mr. President, isn't anyone going to ask about the NRA?" "What about NRA?" asked Mr. Goosevelt.
The congestion of cases due to colds has been greatly relieved at the hospital.
"Your son has been quoted as saying that you planned to revive it" said the reporter.
His son James, the President fired back, also had been quoted an saying that he had stolen money to believe his own son to newspaper accounts.
"But," countered another reporter, "do you plan to recover it?" Mr. Rosemuth grinned, he advised me not to feed his recent encounters for a clue.
Would WPA be discontinued?
Would it be sharply curtailed in the coming year?
Mr. Roosevelt said he was unable to tell yet. He might send relief estimates to Congress in March or later.

Revive Idea Of Co-op Exchange In W.S.G.A.
Women Consider Using Surplus From Present Setup to Establish Student-Run Book Store
By Elizabeth Shearer
By Elizabeth Shearer
Plans for the W.S.G.A. Book Exchange, including better larger and quarters, were disclosed last night at the W.S.G.A. meeting when the question of the profit was raised. The Book Exchange profit was raised.
Miss Elise Neuenachwander, professor of French, presented the history of the book exchange. The idea of a student exchange was first brought from Yale University in 1910 by Miss Neuenachwander. University men undertook to run the first book store by selling them of books. However, local merchants kept the store from running too smoothly, and the soon-disinterested young men gave up their project.
Ruth Learned, president of W.S. GA., stated that the W.S.G.A. expects to enlarge the book exchange by moving into new quarters in the city and expanding its capacity to continue the policy of making only a ten per cent profit on books.
First Books Sold in Fraser Shortly after this the women of the University began to buy up a few books at a time, selling them from a counter in the old aldea of Fraser hall. Grimly, a perennial militant, developed with more secure storage for the books.
Ten per cent profit was the set as the amount necessary to carry on the business, and this has been the basis upon which the ex-merchant usually a small profit each year has accumulated and this amount combined with that gained by students who have left books and then forget to call for their money account to upgrade to the changing new has.
For years the W.S.G.A. has fought to protect the money from the admiring glances of the University men, because the women have had a plan of establishing a book store which would adequately meet all the demands of students. Ten thousand dollars would be necessary to carry out this plan, and the present surplus of the book exchange is only a little over two thousand dollars. An almshouse once suggested and still in the minds of the governing women is to establish a W.S.G.A. Loan Scholarship fund, available to both men and women of K.U.
Surplus Highly Valued
The book exchange surplus has
been a big part of W.G.A.
that a few years ago when that
organization finished its fiscal year
with a deficit of $500, they
considered it more important to keep the
book exchange fund rather than to make up the
deficit out of it.
Further business of the W.S.G.A. included voting three and a half per cent of their activity ticket receipts to the University Band, discussing the approaching freshman women's election, and authorizing CSEP workers to arrange and work on the files of the W.S.G.A.
Bingham Speaks To New Camera Club
A University Camera club was organized last night at a meeting held in the Memorial Union building, Prof Robert Taft presided at the event, which by 34 students, Oren Bingham, University photographer, was the speaker of the evening and discussed miniature cameras. He assured the students that it is not at all necessary to have an expensive camera to take satisfactory pictures, but the $2 a camera will serve the purpose for beginners.
Other talks concerned the functions of camera clubs in other schools and the possibilities of the newly organized group here.
Exhibition of Prints Held in Design Department
The exhibition of prints in root 329 W. Administration building he attracted such keen interest on it part of students that it is held over. Many pictures have been taken, and you are yesterday to take their place. Se of the prints are in brilliant col while others are in black and white
