The success of a student grievances board, such as has been proposed by the Kansan, would depend greatly on the competence of its student members and their comprehension of the proper functions of the board. We suggest, quite tentatively, that the membership of the board ought to be composed along these lines: One major in psychology, one woman member of the Kansan board, one major in architecture, one second year law, and one freshman or sophomore woman who is solely on the basis of grades. We reason that the psychology student would detect the paranoid complainers and the messianic personalities, the woman K ansan board member would assure the group publicity, the architect would, presumably, add an element of artistry, or know definitely that some suggestion for a building, say, might not work. The second year lawyer ought, if the School teaches him anything practical, to know a bit of the state laws and hence the legal difficulties to be met with before a plan from the student complainer can be carried out. The sophomore woman student ought to insure a hearing for her sex, and, providing her grades are near a B average, a modicum of common sense. If no student came bawling about injustice, and told the first session of this proposed board that all is lost, it is probable that the board would just spontaneously combust into some ideas. You couldn't put all those people into one room and not get some action, once they understood the purposes of the board.

In trend with the modern idea of speed and streamlined vehicles, the Union Pacific railroad has announced that a new streamline train will be put into service between Kansas City and Salina, service beginning January 31. A round trip will be made each day. Robbie trip will be made each day. One wonders just what will be the outcome of this demand for speed, and still more speed. It seems almost impossible for people to be traveling on land and in the air at speeds of two hundred miles an hour, sitting in comfortable chairs, reading the morning newspaper. With the invention and general acceptance of such fast-moving vehicles, the life and activity of the average small community may suffer a complete change. Many of those persons who are employed in large cities may yield to the desire for a home with a rose trellis in the back yard, and a place for the baby to play other than the city park, and decide to invest in a little place in "Middletown." With planes and trains making it easy to travel a hundred miles or so to heir daily work, these persons can enjoy all of the pleasures of a real lore in the "wide open spaces." What the outcome of all this may be, no one can forsee, but without doubt the whole life and outlook of the nation, and to the world will be 'radically changed. Meditating on Kansas' proposed new capital punishment law, the Thoughtful Freshman has decided that if man is not smart enough to solve the problem of keeping prison doors locked he is not smart enough to decide matters of life and death. Great stress has always been placed on athletes at Kansas. Always we have tried to be the best, better than some others, or at least to hold up our end of the conference with the most success possible, but golf has been largely overlooked. WHY NOT TRY IT? All of the schools in the Big Ten have golf teams every year, and the game has always held its own in those schools. Of all the sports which receive so much attention in colleges, golf is the one which can be most valuable after the college life is finished. Men who have been graduated and are trying to be successes in the business world cannot continue to exercise with football, basketball, and the like, but they can go on with their golf. It is also a recognized fact in the business world that golf is a decided asset to any man who depends upon contacts other than those made in the office for his success. At Kansas we have enough first rate golfers to make a team, but the idea is not being considered except among a small group of student players. If other universities make golf one of the major sports and add laurels to their athletes, why does our athletic administration not plan for a Kansas golf team, and at least try to make something out of those men who are willing and ready to play? HE SUED HIM. Somebody once remarked that "it is getting tougher all of the time on the pedestrian." How true that remark is one could not really know, so Ernest Faulkner, a motor salesman of Peoria, Ill., is attempting to prove it. On the twenty-first of December, 1932, Faulkner a car struck a pedestrian, Abram A. Ostrander, and the latter filed suit against Faulkner for $15,000 damages. Now the car salesman has filed a counter suit of $1,000 against Ostrander in which he denies he is liable to the pedestrian and alleges he himself suffered a severe mental and nervous shock, and "became sick, sore, lame and disordered" and so remained for more than two months because of the accident There seems to be only one way to settle the dispute. That way is shown us by the Soviet government which shoots motorists who run over pedestrians. We might stand Faulkner up against a wall, shoot him, and make Ostrander carry a warning horn so that he will not be bothered by cars running over him and law suits for the rest of his life. We poor sons of democracy had begun to believe that royalty is not so choosy as it once way, what with thrones toppled and toppling in Europe, when a denial of the belief came in the request of King Zog of Albania for an American wife. The 39-year-old monarch requires not only beauty, but also ability and charm, and most astonishing, an income of 1 million dollars a year, of his American bride! We wish the royal bachelor success in his search. There was a time when the place would not have been hard to fill, but the last requirement has discouraged more than one of us poor men in our matrimonial outlook in the last few years.

HERBERT G. ALPHIN, SPECIAL EDITOR If these scattered reports are truly indicative of the present trend, and we sincerely hope so, the graduates of 1935 have chosen a lucky year. Not that jobs will be easy to find—there are many, many opportunities ahead of you to be considered. Still, any increase in available jobs is good news, and we need it! W. S. G. A. BOOK EXCHANGE; LAWRENCE TRAFFIC PROBLEM COMPLICATED BY UNIVERSITY The exchange will be open from 9'til 4 o'clock daily until the close of the semester. EDITH BORDEN, Manager. By Wes Gordon. c'35 The complexities of Lawrence's traffic problem have resulted in a survey that is being made by Prof. L. D. Jennings of the political science department. Arterial signs, radio-equipped vehicles and the operation of stop signs represent some of the advances that have been made by other cities in the handling of traffic. Lawrence, because it is the seat of the University, has a traffic problem that equals that of cities of greater population. Special occasions at the University draw crowds to Lawrence, and cause traffic congestion. At the homecoming Nebraska game this year 17,000 people crowded into the city. According to a report made by Professor Jennings, over 7,000 cars entered Lawn- More Jobs Syraense Daily Orange. A recent survey of colleges and universities indicate that 1935's graduates will have more jobs awaiting them than any class which has graduated since 1929. The forecast is based on reports of a brighter outlook from schools in widely separated sections of the country. Pritt Institute in Brooklyn, for instance, reports 55 per cent of the prospective graduates from its art school in February already placed, the largest percentage of advance employment since mid-year classes were introduced four years ago. The University increased demand for trained home economics workers in high schools and colleges. The University of Michigan placement bureau sees the outlook for jobs in both business and teaching more hopeful for college graduates than at any time in recent years. With the speeding up of calls toward the end of the year the Michigan office has already placed 83 per cent more graduates in teaching and 67 per cent more in business in 1934 than in 1933. One man's idea of how to get a job (an ad in the University Maryland Daily): "I am lazy, unreliable, thoroughly incompetent and have no references. Have a car and a few hundred dollars and kinder hanker for a job as adv. man, editor, or reporter or anything where there is big pay and little to do. Prefer weekly in town where there is good poolroom. Write me any way, in case competition is bothering you." St. Louis University treasurer a visitor's record which is now 98 years old, and contains the signatures of such celebrities as Charles Dickens, Henry Clay, John Calhoun, Daniel Webster, and Martin Van Buren. The Pi Phi chapter at the University of Nevada has advertised a waffle breakfast—all you can eat for 35c. The U. of N. Sagebrush suggests that the girls present one of the man-hole-covers to the guy who holds the mortgage, and if he is fool enough to eat it, their financial troubles, which apparently inspired the whole business in the first place, will be over. The student president at the University of Denver has become an honorary member of the Association of Absent-Minded Professors. He enrolled in an English history course under a certain prof. When classes started he found the right prot but got into the wrong course, and went to class for two weeks before he found out there was anything wrong. The Gamma Phis at the University of Denver had needed a garden hose for several years, so one of the pledges, whose father sells garden hoses, petitioned the pater, and received for her a house that has no equal. It was what you might call a custom-built house, spirally marked with the Gamma Phis, and tan ribbed with the security crest, festooned with brown and tan ribbons, and gerdled with pink cernions, the sorority flower. rence from outside of town on that day between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The Lawrence police force of 14 men, working without the facilities of larger cities contrived to manage the situation. Those on the day shift ordinarily work 11 hours, and those on the night shift, 12 hours, but on this occasion, the hours were so arranged that all of the men were available during the afternoon of the game. Besides the police officers experienced in the handling of traffic were brought in from Topcake to help. State highwaymen worked on the roads outside of the city limits. During these heavy periods of traffic one of the defects of the stop sign becomes obvious. Heavy streams of traffic pour in from the side streets on to Massachusetts street, and unless a traffic policeman is stationed at each of the entry streets, the stream of traffic must be stopped each time a car pushes its way on to Massachusetts street. The traffic signals would easily allow cars to move out of town much faster, and in a much more orderly manner. Some people believe that Lawrence has entirely too many stop signs. "The defect of the stop sign is that when they are placed on streets where there is no necessity for them, drivers are inclined to run through," says Professor Jennings. "The useless stop sign encourages law breaking. Frequently intelligent drivers run through, and those who do stop, do so only because they lack the courage to break a useless law. But at times when traffic is heavy the signs are obeyed. With all of the cars that are on the streets on the highway, you can see intelligent cars run through stop signs than at other times. Stop signs do not in any way take into consideration the intelligence of the driver." Included in the survey will be investigation as to whether it is necessary to widen the streets in places. An example of congestion might be cited at Twelfth and Oread, where the street ioops and all cars must turn. Police Chief L. G. Pringle, who believes that radio equipment is here to stay, explains the signal system used by the Lawrence police force. "At present the police force is using a light placed on the top of a building at Seventh and Massachusetts. If a message is to be given to the officers who are out, the light is turned on, and the officers either go to a telephone or return to the station. Often they drive back to the station to learn that the call they are to answer came from the same neighborhood in which they were before they returned to the station." Radio, traffic signs, and streets that are wide enough to handle the traffic are in use in other cities. Whether or not any of these are necessary in Lawrence can be told when Professor Jennings completes his survey.
