TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22, 1953 "LANDON FOR PRESIDENT" The slight political ripple that spread through Kansas last year bearing on its crest the slogan, "Landon for President," is slowly, but quite surely, assuming the proportions of a wave that threatens to cover the entire nation. Even as far away as California, "Landon for President" clubs and drives more the seeding eyes of the Republican party are being tipped toward the Kansas governor. Perhaps the strongest point in favor of Alf Landon is that during the trying years of the depression, he has succeeded, as governor, in balancing the budget of his state. Although a Republican, Alf Landon was opposed in his state campaign by the old guard of the party. Because of his past record, he was looked upon as a progressive, and he did not deny the charge, nor did he change his beliefs. Yet, once in office, he was able to win the support of even the group that had so violently opposed him. He did this not by spectacular flurries, but by quietly going about his business, and by getting the results that he set out to get. Of course, he is not yet assured of even the Republican nomination. In Herbert Hoover and Senator Borah he has two strong rivals, but both of these men have reached their political heights and are now on the decline. It is doubtful, in view of the marked public feeling against his policies in 1932, that Mr. Hoover can rally enough support to win the nomination. The fact that Senator Borah has been in the public eye so long is a disadvantage to him. He is too well known. The public likes new names and new figures. In this respect Aft Landon, although possibly not at the present time, will in the future appear as the most likely man to carry the Republican standard. He has a record of accomplishment, yet he has not gone stale in public opinion. He is still rising along the political scale, and gathering strength as he goes. The very fact that he has proven himself to be a good businessman places him highly in the minds of many people. As far as the Republican party is concerned, he seems to be just "what the doctor ordered." The Democratic administration changed the name of Hoover dam. The only way it will use those words is in the reverse order—K.C. Kansam. Campus Opinion contours in monotone data do not increase by the supra- tension of the curves, and there are no effects of length lengths are subject to scaling by the editor. Conviction- mentation is based on visual inspection. Editor Daily Kansas: When bigger and better goops and gullibles are grown, K. U. willg them. There is a group of students inhabiting this campus with the faculty of yelling "Wolf" every time they see a fur coat, and when his flea-litten nips appears in the flesh, of feeding him dog-biscuit. During the latter part of last spring the gullets allowed agents of a foreign power to take them into disarray. During the first part of this fall a member of the Board of Regents happened to get his words twisted, which has happened to everyone. Yet this group hallowed "Fire," and 3500 students immediately thought they actually smelled smoke. That was considered a good start for the fall of 1925. They then started the gag about paddling freshmen. But the administration had to spoil that by taking the matter completely out of their hands. But then a life-saver turns up in the form of what appears suspiciously like a business man with a knowledge of child psychology. A man who well knew the negative result obtained from children by saying, "Don't touch." Those bills would do justice to the experiments carried on by our own psychology department. Heaven help us if this group was in responsible offices, they would have the nation heading for bomb-proof JACK AND HIS BEANSTALK Carmack in Christian Science Monitor shelter every time someone went in for a little target practice without notifying the Congress. But really now—won't it simply amazing how quickly the depths of the group were able to find the private world? Our Contemporaries SHARPER THAN A SERPENT'S TONGUE Columbia Missouri. Recently the United States Patent Office allowed patient rights to a device "to guard against unpleasant familiarity on the part of rule and authority of the medical personnel" by the preserves of the opportunity of the crowded conditions of cars to annoy and insult ladies next to whom they may be seated." This device is an important tool in ensuring that automatically jobs the curb upon pressing a button. "this 'jabber' will put the male in place. But look at the pronounced psychological effect that it has upon him. Now, every time he sees a pretty girl when he sees a pretty boy, he knows that he is going to come associated with the stinging pain of a pinprick and force him to give up his idle about romanceism. No more will he be able to dream of meeting a pretty girl." With such a weapon the weaker sex will have a predominant edge over the men. Suppose some lady should get up with a grouch and imagine that every man on the floor is becoming advances towards her. What a hawk would do. No longer will young men turn covetous eyes or smile in the direction of the young thing across the aisle. The male species will undergo a severe change. A race of frozen faces may follow.

It was a shock to the pines elders of his day to see that the earth was part of the heavenly machinery and wasn't the center of the universe as they had always supposed. The their shock, of course, was all the greater when they began to perceive that man, as the conqueror of the earth, was after all only a more speck of animated sand instead of the greatest and most noble work of the Universe if the heresy that Gallio was made in the name of a soul-destroying ego definition to believe all the nausea that radical crackpot was spreading. As a result, the authorities went into a huddle and gave Galileo a choice of alternatives; either he tow to admit him or he to walk. Galileo not to create any more trouble, or else—. Wholly, at least for his own life expectancy, as the insurance staticians would say, he bowed to the authority, and took the bailable cath. But that old Italian astronomer hadn't entirely closed his mind. When he took the oath, some bright recorder of the events of the day is responsible for the story that Galileo took that oath with mental reservations. Galileo knew what he was talking about. The chances are Callies didn't even have an inkling of the vastness of the spaces he was thinking about. But when he saw the instrument was crudely compared to the instruments available even to an amateur player, it wasn't a day but Day. The Italian started something. The curiosity of man became so great when his attention was carried to the outer spaces enclosing the earth that he had to learn something about it. In developed instruments made mathematically, he photographed into his services, and used the ingenuity and skill of engineers. All these things have put into man's hands the things that Galileo lacked. And the present day astronomer would have an interesting time telling his brothers about the marvels of the universe. Even we biased-mesors must stop occasionally to gage in awe at the things the astronomer knows. The very immenseness of the world in which the astronomer lives and has his being is astonishing. Star-worker ideas in terms that are a bit difficult to understand, even in this day of unbalanced national budgets, war expenditures, and such things. Hendrik Van Loon is my authority for the knowledge that the astronomer works on. He cannot be more than the light year. He records the fact that the light year, in terms such as we earth-bound humans use, is represented by the figure 10,418,623,850,000 — which means the distance, in kilometers, between us and the sun, in the course of one year. Reduced to the ordinary terms of statute miles, that figure is roughly 6,511,829,625,000. Such figures leave one just a bit gruggy. They're almost too much for us to imagine and most of us have to take it seriously. And the astronomers are finding the light year a bit unwieldy and crude. Now I know my favorite evening paper publishes a story, the headlines of which announces that "at 500 people are dying in Afghanistan and air warriors with nebulas ..." Just a second . . . 500 million light years . . . one light year equals . . . multiply by 500,000,000. "The patient will be all right when he comes to. He merely stretched his imagination a little too much." After the major shock of such preliminary information wears off, we dip down into the story and find that they are the command astronauts in their nightly peering into the mysterious universe can go so far as no farther ... a more matter of 300 million light years or ... $2.255,819,000,000,000$ Yes, Gellio started something. A matter of milapses, however, is with **Bob**, who has, with which my obliging evening paper supplies me. I'll let the estimable Associated Press tell its own story. Dr. Favin P. Hubble of the M. Wilson Building. "The observable region of space is a vast sphere, perhaps a thou- murter. Throughout the sphere are scattered a hundred million nebulus-stellar systems — in various stages of their evolutionary hist- The *nobleus* are distributed singly, in groups, and occasionally in great clusters, but when large volumes of space are compared, the tendency to cluster averages out . . . The "nubulae are scattered at average intervals of the order of 2 million light years, or perhaps 200 times their mean diameters. The pattern might be represented by tennis balls, fifty feet apart." The masses of the nebulae, Hubble said, are uncertain. But if all the solid matter composing the universe is dust and spread evenly through the immense space the 100-inch telescope can see, the result would be about one grain of sand per volume of space equal to the size of a coin. Thus endeth the lesson in astronomy via the Associated Press. Tit bet a cooky that Dr Hubble spoke with considerable caution when he reeled off those staggering figures. Scientists are customarily cautious about figures and one can be almost certain that whatever figure gives out are bound to be conservative. We said Sunday that William Allen White was going to the "Pacific lakes." We don't believe it. Men may cry peace, peace, but there is no peace. If this be too absturse, we shall write an explanatory note tomorrow. Yes, Galileo started something.
