DESCENT TO EARTH
"Many college men have wanted to be more than mere passive spectators as they have realized that present events are shaping their lives." This is the heart of the expression mirrored now in college papers from every university in the great Mississippi valley we do find a growing collegiate interest in the here and now.
"We have now a sober-headed type," say these editors from over the land. "Jo-Jo the college flash has disappeared under the pressure of economic forces. Our new type of student is interested in the dynamic, swift-changing movements of national politics, in political creeds and the road of action."
Kansas is getting in position now to participate in this forward movement; both of the political parties and the women's organizations have indicated their favorable support of student forums.
Judging by the large number of students who were horror stricken upon hearing of the nomination of five negro students for membership to Owl Society, Kansas is still far from the liberal institution she thinks she is.
GATHERING FACTS
A pal of ours who reports for a nearby metropolitan paper, says that when stories began coming over the wire about the Gallup, New Mexico, labor dispute, he had his doubts.
First news spoke quite impartially about a Communist and a lawyer for the International Labor Defense, both of whom had come to Gallup to outline the defense activities of 48 unemployed workers charged with the murder of a sheriff.
Our pal goes on that, as the stories came tapping in the teletype, the old bias crept between the lines. Shortly the version changed from a recounting of the facts, and began reporting what various officials, police chiefs, deputies had to say. "A hoax," they churred, and went about their "dutty."
The Kansan, through its new United Press service, carried a brief story of two paragraphs. It concluded: "From a reliable source it was understood that several unexplained circumstances in connection with the reported abduction caused authorities to suspect that the affair was a hoax designed to gain sympathy for the cause of the Gallup riot murder defendants."
Now, as a news story that is bad. The source described is not shown to be reliable. It does not tell what the "unexplained circumstances" were and hence doesn't prove that the authorities were justifiably suspicious that the "affair was a hoax." And if it had been a hoax, those who started it and not the police offi-
ers would know what its purpose was.
Otherwise, it was a fine story
At the bottom rung of the ladder We rend in a recent dispatch where four-year-old boys in Italy were being trained in military maneuvers. At the time when boys should be playing with toys, Mussolini gives them guns. If this doesn't sound bad for the future youth of Italy we don't know what does. Maybe he'll initiate armed storks.
PLAYING WITH HEALTH
Since the University is a part of the town of Lawrence, although a separate unit, it is vitally interested in the provisions made in the town for the health of its people. With the inauguration of the new mayor and council well attended to, the new governing body was formed that could be done to make both ends of the town pocketbook meet, and what measures of economy could be practiced.
One of the first suggestions made was that the city no longer employ a sanitary engineer to guard the water supply that goes into Lawrence homes. The three thousand dollars that it would cost was thought too much. Public health was not worth that; or at least the members of the council believed so.
Fortunately, however, there remained a few sane people; these tried to lead the others into the realization that Lawrence does get its water from a poor source so far as cleanliness is concerned and that $3000 is never to be considered too high for the job of protecting the people. No more is obtained than is paid for, and a competent man deserves a good salary. He also earns it.
It was not, however, until chemical analysis had been made at the University, and authorities from the University on the municipal water supply finally explained and insisted that Lawrence people are responsible for that a decision finally made $^2$ to retain a man for the job.
It was, however, not the argument for the health of the people that finally won the council. It was the realization that if no supervisor were employed, if proof could not be given that every possible precaution had been taken, the city could, in the eventuality of an epidemic of water-borne disease, be sued by the people for neglect of public duty. It is hard to believe that any governmental body, however great their measure of self-interest might be, could be so neglectful of their own townsmen that they would subject the citizens to such hazards to health.
A wolf who is possibly descended from the one who mothered Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome, was enthroned recently on the Capitoline Hill. Mussolini has taken the wolf away from the door and placed a halo on him.
Some weeks ago when the women had their elections, and teas, and letters passed back and forth in the Kansan, W.S.G.A. members felt themselves treated unfairly by the suggestion that their organization scarcely justified itself in the light of what it did.
WHAT NOW, GIRLS?
The seeming lack of any issue in the women's council does not argue that everything with them is lovely; rather, it argues that they are inactive or have got out of contact with the questions that afflict their fellow students.
Vocational guidance week, the book exchange, and teas were advanced as the main work of the Association. The absence of any issue in the election campaign was matched only by the intensity of feeling between competing groups who sought to place their candidate in the "gravy."

Practical Jokes of Old Days Make Present-Day Jayhawkers Look Tame
Gen. John Fraser, the jolly Scotchman for whom Frasher Hall was named, was the victim of the most outstanding joke ever played on the Hill. Frasher Hall had not been quite completed in the spring of 1873; but commencement exercises were held in its chapel, now the Little Theater.

An eastern scientist has perfected a gadget for measuring the amount of noise made by the movement of a clutch bug. Now as soon as some brilliant gent uses it, you can see how sometimes a worm turns in a day this be a more pleasant world to live in.

We are being deluged with bachs. Only scently many were celebrating the ach beer season and now the more cultural folk are celebrating the anniversary of Johann S. Bach, the famous musician.
It is reported that the bureau of investigation of the department of justice will soon open its doors to women operatives. This will undoubtedly cut the crime wave in the United States in half; no self-respecting vegg would want a victim of a female federal prosecutor. He would give up his peculiar racket.
Is practical joking in a decline? Are Jahewkaw joining the general trend of American citizens—hitting all sense of American humor?"
What has become of the good old school spirit? Or maybe school spirit does not include a student playing k & e k, nevertheless, once played in the role "h in the life at the U," especially back when the University of Iowa was a masterpiece from "way back when";
"All Fools Day" passed and no joker is known to have pulled a notable knack on Mount Oread this year. No buckets of ice water, hung over the doors, professors fooled their students by meeting them at their desks, and basking in $23 classes promptly. What? Not even an apple core in the professor's chair?

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB:
Best Known Practical Joke—Ned Meersey and Will Thatatcher wrote out a fake telegram one January morning in when he met Orwell the telegram was delivered to Chancellor Marvin and here the message that Rev. F. T. Ingalls, member of the board of regents, who lived in Atchison, had passed away on April 26th to be that afternoon.
Phi Pal-Theia Battle--Once a year the big hearted Phil Pal's decorate the Theta's front yard for them. It is a pleasure as well as a duty to tumb stone these tumbs to tumb stones. The Theta discovered their yard had been converted into a first class cemetery one morning about ten years ago. The hearse was parked nearby and all the tombs were in place. Each tomb stone bore the name of one member of the security.
Chancellor Marvin with two other members of the board of regents arrived at Atchison to find the Reverend Ingalls
enjoying himself at an ice cream social. Memorial services were held in Fresno chapel at the same time the funeral was supposedly being held at Aetoshi

Chancellor Marvin sent a telegram explaining that the whole affair was a honeys. But memorial services had taken place. Both Moeverey and Thatcher were university students, University for time but they returned degrees and received their degrees.
The Record Hobo-Day-The Jay hawkers were out 100 per cent to celebrate Hobo-Day in great style in 1938. They built a miniature building and tried to think up what to do next. Two hidden grocery trucks appeared from different directions. A "vegetable fight" flashed into them, the minds. The trucks were stopped.
Cabbages and carrots were flung through the air without regard to the heads they hit. Vegetables, vegetables everywhere!
Two grocery bays put a ring around that date on the calendar and noted undermarch "Jyhophers go Hobos."
