WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1935 IN THE RUT As the W. S. G. A. Executive Council describes the system of student government in operation from 1919 to 1926, there is little wonder that it failed to please the women. The men apparently collected the money and controlled nominations, and the women just voted as they were told to. Assuming, for reasons which have not been stated, that any new unification of student governing bodies would result in the sanction subordination of the women, W.S. A. leaders are opposing the plan to centralize student government in one council composed of both men and women. There is no reason, however, why a constitution for such a body could not be drawn up with provisions which would make such disadvantages as existed in 1919 impossible. The purpose of the change would not be to bring deficiencies of the W.S.G.A. into the spotlight but to lift the governing bodies out of the rut into which they have slipped in the past few years, and to gain for the women the right to get out and fight for their ideas and for offices—any offices. It appears, from the W.S.G.A. statement, that the rut in which the councils are at present laboring has been more harmful to the record of the Men's Student Council than to that of the W.S.G.A., for the men cannot point to any such number of useful projects accomplished as the women have, even if most of them do have little connection with student government. The machine which has controlled men's politics with intermittent opposition for several years, has found this business of running in the rut especially advantageous to them. It makes the winning of election less work and worry. Any action which could put some life into what is now called self-government on this campus should be welcome to both women and men. If the political leaders of the campus do not give the plan serious and fair consideration, the students who put them into their positions of leadership should find some way of making their wishes known. So strict has become the moral tone of Hollywood, says Eddie Cantor, that it is almost impossible for a sexagenarian to get a job there. Here's hoping that the powers that be learn the definition of that word before the Townsend bill is passed. FROM TEN-GALLON TO SILK TOPPER The last of the Oklahoma pioneer governors passed out of the picture Monday when the picturesque "Alfalfa Bill" Murray handed the reins of state government to E. W. Marland, the multimillionaire oil magnate. The high silk hat which Mr. Marland wore during the inaugural parade seemed to indicate that Oklahoma, third youngest state in the Union, has left her pioneer days behind her and entered the ranks of seasoned empires of business. However, it was the pioneering governors, whom Mr. Murray represents, who laid the foundations of government in that state, on which Mr. Marland is to build. The progress made by this young state in the less than three decades of its existence has been remarkable. From an agricultural and grazing territory it has developed into a wealthy oil state, and now the ten-gallon felt hat of the ranchers gives way to the high silk topper of the oil king at the head of its government; a fitting climax for the pageant of Oklahoma's history. WORK OUT Chancellor E. H. Lindley, in his biennial report to the Governor and the Board of Regents, suggests the need for an addition to the Journalism building. Only a superficial examination of the building now being used by the department is required to see the need for a complete new building. A major reason is the fact that the present building is a firetrap, and unsafe for general use. Because it is the building where the most paper is used and stored, it would appear that the need for a fireproof place was here the greatest. A distinct service is being performed in the building that began life as a chemistry laboratory, later to be used as the medical building. Besides being a place for classrooms and lecture rooms, the building houses the Journalism press, the Stenographic Bureau, the Daily Kansan, and one of the most complete current newspaper libraries in this section of the country. Many valuable and interesting papers and magazines are filed and stored in the Journalism building. Is it asking too much of the ruling powers for them to give the request a thought? Does it seem selfish for one group of persons to desire a new house to live in? Isn't the fact that the present building looks like somebody's castoff last year's hat sufficient to deserve a little thought and action? Not for Children californian Daily Brain. A downtown newspaper columnist pauses to remark that students should attend to their "reading, writing, and speaking" skills. Others adjust the affinity of the world." The way out of our economic difficulties is "not likely to be found by college boys and girls" he declares. "Who is to find the way out?" it might be pertinent to ask. Will it be American industry? Little guiding genius has been displayed by this group in the past. It showed no grasp of economic trends and was helpless to prevent a complete economic slump, yet its spokesman dismain the help of "college boys and girls" and warn them to keep to their books. This belittlement of the student has become familiar among writers who would defend the stage-coach economic faith. "Depressions can only be overcome by the work of experienced men of industry," they say. "Mere book learning should keep its place behind loistered academic walls." If university students are to be discouraged on every turn from taking some part in the solution of social problems, there is small hope that they will be of much use in their capacity as citizens. If the schooly approach to social problem-solving were here, is small hope for any intelligent organization of our economic processes.

Do you think you can drop it with never a squeeze? At a telling moment in the rain of your aim, With a wonderful plumness about it, Do you argue the point 'twixit the good and the with a womanly sweetness about it. Will you guard it, and keep it and act the good part? And if by these tricks you should capture a heart, narm? Well may be you will, but—I doubt it.

As several were closed out because of this disqualification, it will undoubtedly cause trouble. Let fairness be the motto. Last year we had an athletic association. Where is it now? Something must be done to overbalance the idea that some people have of the University—that it graduates yearly a lot of weak, punny and consumptive "hook worms" to go out into the world as men. A military company is seemingly the shortest way out, and a military company run in the right way.
