COMPARATIVE "MERITS"
P. S.G.L. and the party of the "rising sun" are at it again with the old political fervor. Each is advocating highly intelligent platforms which they hope will secure the majority of favorably marked student ballots. But why not throw the light of publicity on these deep and profound planks intended to improve the hard lot of the University of Kansas student body?
Pachacacamac states that the party, when returned to power, will attempt to continue the improvement of the relationship of this school with other prominent universities throughout the country. They intend to accomplish this momentous feat through the medium of the N.S.F.A., an organization which is going to hold a convention in Kansas City next year solely through the uniting efforts of the delegates from the University to the last convention. Probably no other mid-western college had any part in the selection of this central location.
In addition we are going to continue to uphold school traditions and pep through the medium of the Night Shirt Parade and Hobo day. The Men's Student Council was the only organization which made possible the return of Hobo day and it was through their efforts that the tradition was restored. The Kansan had nothing to do with this revival. In addition, the Night Shirt parade would not have been a success if it had not been for the efforts of this honorable and able group. Also we are going to have better relationships between the students and faculty members. Proportional representation will be used for the first time. This development could not have been brought about by a leading council member who needed a grade in municipal government. This, fellow students, is the red blooded "four point program" which has the unqualified endorsement of the party in power. They place their faith in these important proposals as a means of continuing their present useful functions and services to the student body.
On the other hand we have P.S. G.L., a league, not a party, whose avowed purpose is the radical reform of student government. Prominent among their votegleaning proposals is the open forum idea. This was advanced on its sheer merit and there was no attempt in this formulation of policy to secure the vote of such organizations as the Y.M.C.A. or the International Relations Club. Next was the direct primary plan which would make possible a fair selection of student representatives instead of machine-picked candidates. To demonstrate their sincerity they had a "Literary Digest" vote. We know that the results of this straw poll will be followed to the letter. No hay! Also we are to be blessed by a non-political judiciary committee composed of students who have never before held political office of any kind. Certainly they were sincere in this proposal and had no thought in mind of passing out additional political plums as a means of securing more votes.
Bailey Winton Globe-Trotting Student Settles in
By Edward Barnett, e35
At 24, Bailey Winton, e37, has seen more of the world than most people see in a lifetime. Since July 4, 1931, when he embarked on his first ocean voyage, he has been in the Orient three times and has made 12 trips to Central America.
Winton and a friend, Gerald Hopkinson, started out to see the world in November, 1930. They launched a 16-foot canoe on the Missouri river at Kansas City, with New Orleans as their destination. There they hoped to get births on a ship bound for "any dishevior." The canoe was too slow. They sold it at Boonville, Mo., and hitch-hiked to New Orleans.
To have dreams of being a sailor is one thing, but for a landlubber to get a job in a port where five old salts are clamoring for every vacant berth is something quite different. Winton and Hopkins learned this thoroughly during a month of fruitlessly "covering the waterfront."
Then their hack "changed." They met "Captain" Wander Waltser, a queen fellow who was a mixture of high-pressure saemism and unusual humor.
Others in Wanderwell's company would choose a street corner and lay out their wares, chiefly illustrated pamphlets setting forth in best dine-nowel style the Captain's many breathtaking adventures. Selling these books,
Wandervell worked a neat race. In his outfit were four big touring cars half - covered with foreign license plates, and his main attraction was a motion picture portraying his exploits in many lands. Breezing into a new town, Wandervell would approach the master of photography something after this fashion: "I am Captain Walter Wandervell, famous adventurer, explorer, lecturer, et cetera, et ceterna. In exchange for meals and lodging at your palatial establishment, my wife and I will gladdly give you the honor of having us as guests until next Tuesday, during the time our exclusive motion picture is showcased, and thither." Well's expenses rarely included hotel halls.
Thus we have the two political Goliaths who will vie for your support on April 4. If you have any difficulty in making a choice, flip a coin to see whether you attend the show or drink a beer on this great day in the life of the student, which like Christmas comes only once a year.

Editor's note: The Kanan will present in this column thumb-nail sketches of the members of the faculty.
John Ise--you all know him-- he says he thinks he spent the first 20 years of his life sitting on the west porch looking for rain. Born June 5, 1858, he says nothing important happened to him when he was a child. As a baby he was sigh a great deal of the time. An uncle said he doubted at that time if little John was worth raising, but his "mother took a long
Wanderwell said, was simply a matter of counting the quarters as they poured in, especially after the moving picture had been shown once or twice. His "associates" were given a liberal share of net profits. "Join my company," he said, "and you'll see the world—and not like trumps, either."

The two would - be globe - trotters took Wanderer up without hesitation, for he had disclosed plans for sailing for South America within a short time. But the trip to South America did not materialize. After a month in Louisiana, Winton and Hopkins and two German youths left Wanderer's company. The Germans had been in America only a few months.
Hearing that ship bBirths were easier to get at Houston, Texas, they went there, and wasted another month pounding the dock pavements. "It was then," Winton says, "that we first realized what we had undertaken. Several times we went longer than two days without food, and as for lodging, well
Hopkins received a letter, while in Houston, from an aunt in Parsons, Kansas. She urged him to come to Parsons and attend the junior college. He was determined to be a sailor, wont on to California with the two Germans.
Winton lived in San Francisco four months, on an average of 15 cents a day, before he was able to "get out," as sea clamance has it. But finally, on July 4, 1931, he loaded his duffle, reduced by this time to a bandana and one extra pair of socks, onto a United States gua, a Portuguese gua, San Salvador, and Puerto Amuelles, Panama. He made three successive voyages.
Early in 1932, Winton, now a seasoned “A.B.” (able bodied seaman), signed for his first long voyage. This was in a freighter, the S. S. “Golden Dragon,” bound for Yokohama, Hong-kong, Shanghai, and points beyond. The trip across the Pacific was scheduled to take 19 days, but actually re-entered the ocean just before times. Winton said, “waves would cover almost the entire deck for a depth of several feet. Once a wave caught me and swept me clear across
chance on him," and he is a fine specimen of manhood today.
Professor Ios tries to keep busy at some research problem in his spare time. "It has got to be a bhabu," he says. He enjoys playing around with music and antique furniture. With a house full of junk, as he calls it, he enjoys repairing while he works on his projects. greatly enjoys reading Mark Twain, whom he regards as the greatest American.
He came to the University in the fall of 1916. He has taught mostly economic theory, economic reform, and land problems, but has wandered into public finance, money and banking, marketing, real estate, labor problems, business law, history of economic theory, economic reform, and And one of his books, United States Forest Policy, United States Oil Policy, etc., may be found on many great business men's desks.
This intelligent professor says the University seems to emphasize trade school training too much, "but still I suppose standards have generally risen since I came. I can hardly think of a University in which I would prefer to teach. KU. has always been a pretty fine place and still is, in spite of my joining the faculty."
We haven't been bothered much by any lush spring poets, but we find that the puns are worse than usual this season.
Now that election is soon due, political minded members of the mess club will soon have an opportunity to sing tenure of office.

The "Golden Dragon"s' cargoes were sometimes of nondescript nature. On Winton's first trip, the holds were loaded with scrap iron and halted tins. This was shortly before the Sine-Jap strife when any metal which could be converted into arms was at a premium.
the ship, very nearly taking me over the side."
Winton made his third voyage to the Oriental as a quartermaster, or helmsman. During this voyage, the "Golden Dragon" driver for 690 miles, to Hankow, China.
At Hawkway, an epidemic of cholera, was rumored, and the captain ordered "no shore leave." Two American gun-boats also were in the harbor. Winton and another sailor asked permission to board the boat as a ruse to get ashore, and when their request was denied, they hailed a Sampan, or Chinese boat, and went ashore anyhow. Next morning they were called before the officers and "logged" two days' pay, with a threat of imminent death, the brig if the offense were reteated.
After his third Oriental voyage, Winton went to Parsons, Kansas, where his friend, Gerald Hopkins, was in college. Winton enrolled there and attended three semesters. He entered Kansas University last September. He graduated from the university, on ships traveling between the United States and Central America.
Although his adventures can hardly be called "breath taking," Winton has had his share of interesting experiences. He was on the first American ship ever to drop anchor in Nagata, a Japanese port. His ship anchored in Shanghai a day after the Woo Sung fort was destroyed by Japanese invaders. He saw the S. S. "Morro Castle" when it burned in New York last summer. Once in China a friend of Winton's, shortly after leaving his company during a typical sailor's "port tour," was shugged and robbed.
"Central America," he says, "is the most primitive part of the world I have been in. The natives there seem to have made little progress for many

For instance, they have a custom of tying chains to the waistst of pallibearers at funerals, apparently to scare away the death, for the chains certainly made a hideous clatter, dragging the body around on its feet one feels safer among Japanese than among Chinese. Living conditions of the Chinese river families are sickening, and it is common to see a family of eight or 10 living in a tiny but built house, with walls of brick and stone of course, we came in contact with only the lowest strata of the people."
Winton has souvenirs from every country he has visited. The articles range from a packet of safety matches autographed by a Central American hat-keeper, to several large paintings from Japan. Not all his souvenirs are
mantimate. At his home in Kansas City he has a tiny marmoset, or American monkey, which he brought back from 'amana. Winton plans to "ship out" in a tranquil linen this summer.
