Politics Are Brewing
In the spring a young man's fancy is popularly supposed to turn to thoughts of love and romance. Mount Oread, however, has two classes of young men. There are those who pledge their hearts to wooing and those who pledge the same to politics.
With this in mind, let's indulge in a bit of a forecast of the not-so-fair-in-the-future spring election. Potential office seekers are already grooming themselves for entry into the political races witness recent antics of the Owl Society. Important secret meetings of the political heads will soon be engaged in formulating campaign policies and platforms.
Our first prediction is that there will be much more mud-slinging this spring than last. The Pachacamacs attempted a comparatively quiet campaign last year, and reviewing its results convinced one that the shop handling Pachacamacs' printing, will have a nice account there this year. P.S.G.L.'s successful policy of plentiful literature would indicate that one might expect more of the same in the coming campaign.
As to platforms, P.S.G.L. will undoubtedly point with pride to the Council's student forum series, the pending student supreme court proposal, and the abolishment of Council keys, while the Pachacamacs will probably pick flaws in the same.
In conclusion, it is predicted that neither party will gain a sweeping victory when the votes are all in and counted. Both factions have a considerable number of backers and the fraternity affiliations are another equalizing factor, which should prevent any unexpected landslide. So get your guns oiled, boys, the open season isn't far off.
A tearless onion has been perfected. But if it is the bad features that one wishes to avoid, why not abolish the onion entirely?—Kansas City Kansan.
It's Their Responsibility
When the Supreme Court decision nullifying the AAA was announced, farm leaders acted quickly to propose some substitute which would still hold to the crop-limitation essential of the old AAA. Now that the bill has been worked out and passed by Congress, it puts the responsibility of success not on the government's contracts with the farmers, but with the farmers. They have been asked, under the new law, to use from 25 million to 30 million acres of commercial crop land for soil conservation uses.
The act, which will cost one-half million dollars annually, has three objectives: first, the conservation of soil through the proper use of land. Second, the maintenance of farm income where it has been held for the past three years. Third, the protection of consumers by assuring adequate supplies of food in the future.
The new agricultural law that appears likely to serve the practical purposes of the old one, keeping production down and prices up, depends on the co-operation of the farmers. But with prices up, the projected government bounties for soil conservation have small attraction. It is difficult to see how the long-term agricultural program can succeed without compulsion behind it, and without direct authority being exercised by Washington. The responsibility is now on the farmers.
The Lion Roars
The British Lion has sharpened up his claws with a billion dollar appropriation toward the greatest peace time armament program that the world has ever known. In view of the present unsettled conditions in Europe this bodes no good for the peace of the world.
As is typical of countries which arm heavily, the English government announces that "Rearmament is necessary to avoid repetition in any further war of the tragic loss of life, consequent to the lack of adequate reserve in the early months of the World War." It appears from this that the British heads feel that a general European war is an immediate possibility. For justification, they point to the armament programs of France, Russia, Germany, Belgium, and the United States.
It seems unbelievable that the debts, depression, and most disastrous of all the loss of life and property, which resulted from the last war could be so quickly forgotten. Evidently, from the present outlook, the promise of a "War to end Wars" was merely a psychological slogan to whip up the popular frenzy into rushing into Berlin and killing the Kaiser. The Kaiser is now deposed but it seems probable that the world will soon be involved in another conflict to make the world safe for democracy—or something.
Certainly the announcement of Britain's huge armament program is not very encouraging. Arms and armies are part and parcel of war and cannot be divorced from international conflict. England's declaration will no doubt be followed by spurs of armament building in other countries. The munition makers will be in clover and we will all go marching merrily down the road to war and destruction.
Spring Fever
This spring weather is unequalled for its devitalizing qualities. In short, it tends to take the life out of you, but most everyone feels young again when the birds do sing and the sun shines.
March came in like a lion in sheep's clothing, but we are told that warm weather is the menu for the next weeks to come. After a record-breaking cold spell of over six weeks, this spring weather is greeted with unusual warmth. In the past days, too many students have acquired colds and become victims of the flu epidemic.
But with the coming of the sun back into the northern hemisphere, the college student should spruce up and become that old flash that he was before the sub-zero temperatures became the vogue. Here's hoping that Spring Fever does not claim too many students.
An experiment at the educators' St. Louis meeting showed that controversial subjects can be taught high school students. They couldn't tell whether the teacher was "fer" or "again" the question. That's just a trouble with us. We can't figure out what the profs mean.
"Make the Nation Ice Conscious," was the slogan at a convention of ice dealers at Spokane, Wash., this week. In view of the prevailing zero weather that objective seems to have been accomplished pretty well already—Kansas City Kansan.
Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
Ladies and gentlemen, we have been patiently enduring the results of one of the campaign promises of the Quentin Brown-Lyman Field political party, otherwise known as the Progressive Student Government League (PSGL), a college organization that runs campus has been infested with people who come to talk to us on the subjects that are supposed to have some popular favor such as "Marriage and Morals." Instead of a halfway informative speech on the subject, we are forced to listen to the ramblings of some men who has never heard any such information before. We realize that the depression won't all cause a Wall street outfit as he would have it. There hasn't been just one speaker like this, but everybody so far on the student forum programs have been some pessimistic intellectual extortions. But what has been and is to be in this little world of ours.
If Lyman Field and Kennech Born have to bring their "nomadors" to the campus, why don't they quit using the school's facilities?
It seems that such accusations have been hitting our two boys in the face a little too much of late, so in an attempt to clean themselves they bring out a poster with the whole list of speakers who have spoken several months before and those who are going to mean to us at the rest of the forums (if you want to call them). That is why we have a postioning array of die-hard conservatives. It surely smells bad, Lyman when you have to spend the money of the students to show people that you're not the Communist you're cracked up to be. An Interested Student.

Voters' Verdict to Be Further Tests Of Legality of Roosevelt's Program
Washington, March 4- (UPI)—President Roosevelt entered the home stretch of his administration faced with a growing challenge to uphold in a campaign for re-election The New Deal policies that have made the country as "government conscious" more capable of responding.
The Chief Executive, facing the last three months of his present term, has rounded out his program of social and community action and has been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. Now he is prepared to face the last ditch for his return to office.
Mr. Roosevelt, however, faces the future with confidence, and close friends insist that he feels the voters will rally again behind his standard that first was waved for the "Forgotten Man" and the program took shape, the "New Deal."
Crisis Faced Three Years Ago
Crisis Faced Three Years Ago
A glimpse into the recent past brings a picture of the President taking office on a bleak March day of 1933 with the economic structure collapsing and business calling loudly for success.
His first act on entering the White House on that memorable day to summon his cabin and shortly thereafter declare the national bank holiday until legislation be created by a special session of Congress to meet the emergency.
Then came the embargo on gold and an executive order revamping the country's monetary policy. With those pressing problems out of the way, the President took a short breathing spell and then moved toward the development of his long-range economic and social program for recovery.

During his term, the President, an ardent preparedness advocate, built up the navy to an approach to the parity prescripted by the London and Washington treaties, increased the army, created the CCC and projected a dozen other programs designed to stimulate industry and bring back prosperity.
During those three years Congress at the insistence of Mr. Roosevelt voted to abolish the prepublication being $480,000,000, from which evolved the Works Progress Administration, the National Youth Adoption and Extension of public works building.

observers that "nothing could beat him." "The honeymonkey," however, ended in the late summer of 1653 when Mr. Roosevelt dispatched to Capitol Hill a special message designed to extend the leviton on the rich. Following legislation to abolish public support for the president, he peered on the surface to break the back of his hold on the popular imagination of the people. A well-prepared program of opposition developed. The tide was turned against Mr. Roosevelt in many sections.
Administration supporters point to the steady rise business indicators as an example of the soundness of the President's recovery policies. Critters retort the rise would have been much more than it had not lost confidence in the New Deal.
The R. U. Correspondents will meet in room 103 of the Administration building this afternoon at 4:30.

THE work of Bell Telephone Laboratories might well be called "assets in the making." It deals with many problems whose solution will be of great future value to telephone users.
The truth of this statement is indicated by improvements already developed and now in daily use. The convenient handset telephone, the dial system, new magnetic alloys, overseag and ship-to-shore radio telephony are just a few examples.
Today more than 4000 men and women are carrying on this work to make tomorrow's telephone service still better.
Why not telephone home at least once each week? For lowest rates to most points, call station-to-station after 7 P. M. daily, or any time Sunday.
