THIS IS A TEST.
The University Administration has seen fit to sanction the Hobo Day once more - ON TRIAL That Friday's Hobo Day is to be an experiment cannot be over-stressed The committee appointed by Chancellor Lindley has accepted as fact that the students want to continue Hobo Day and has given its permission for a half-day holiday Friday. But if Kansas does not have enough loyal students to support this permission and give life to a real demonstration, there will be no more Hobo Days in the years to come, and one of the oldest Kansas University traditions will die, never to live again.
The Men's Student Council, the W.S.G.A., and a small number of hard-working, interested students have labored to achieve this victory for the students of the University; a real Hobo Day and the good time for all who are connected with it, and no man or woman who calls himself a loyal student of Kansas University will fail to appear on the Hill Friday morning with a true Hobo costume.
BLOSSOMING OUT
Homecoming this weekend will reverse a tradition for the K.U. hobo. Instead of getting a handout, he'll be putting a hand out—the welcoming hand.
At last those much-discussed and long-awaited band uniforms are to make their debut. After tomorrow night this University is going to stand six up to the rest of the Big Six, with a band that would do credit to any of them. Never again shall we experience that uncomfortable feeling when a rival's smartly uniformed band marches down the football field. Kansas at last has a band to be proud of.
Tomorrow's going to be a big day, and not least on the program by any means is the benefit concert. Not only will our band put up a good appearance; those new uniforms will grace seventy-eight real musicians, several of whom have been nationally recognized. The program is a fine one, including, besides the numbers by the entire band, some outstanding solos.
This band concert deserves the support of everyone. The band is a University organization — it ought to have just as firm a backing as the football team. The money received from this concert will be used to complete the fund that is being raised to pay for the uniforms.
THE NEW DEAL IN CRIME
The badly needed new deal in crime is here, and its inaugurators are Attorney General Homer S. Cummings and J. Edgar Hoover. When Attorney General Cummins took office a new kind of criminal and new kinds of crime had come into being. The gangsters could no longer bootleg, and so they had turned to bank robberies and kidnapping. Mr. Cummings saw that the old laws and
the old fashioned methods of the department of justice would be unable to cope with the new criminal elements; he re-vamped the department and Congress made new laws which enable the officers of the government to work with greater freedom and without special regard to state boundaries.
J. Edgar Hoover, was made head of the new department as he had been head of the old one since 1924, the necessary money and equipment was placed in his hands, and he got to work on the best force in the best criminal fighters this country has ever seen.
Four-fifths of the 535 agents who compose the new federal agency for law enforcement are college men, and 80 per cent of them are men with legal training. Hoover believes the best class of agents can be obtained from colleges, and not only must they be college men but they must have expert legal and accounting training. The legal training enables the agents to know exactly how much evidence is required for every crime, and the accounting enables them immediately to know the affairs of a bank from a glance at the bank's books. Men such as these are much more valuable to law enforcement than the old type who used the rubber hose and the third degree method of intimidating criminals.
The capture and imprisonment of so great a number of the country's most dangerous criminals in the past few months speaks for the success of the new department of justice. Mr. Hoover points out, however, that the success is due in large measure to the whole hearted co-operation of all local authorities and the help of the family and friends of the victims of the criminal element, as well as his newly organized staff.
The United States welcome this second New Deal, the protection against crime, and men such as Mr. Cummings and Mr. Hoover will remain long in the memory of the people as the guides to greater safety in a crime-ridden country.
Perhaps it is human weakness that causes such wide divergence of desires. While Chicago has been endeavoring to rid the city of panhandlers, University of Kansas students have concentrated efforts on gaining the return of the hobo.
CENSORSHIP AND COLLEGE STUDENTS
While students at the University of California are bewailing censorship, students at Columbia University seem to be taking the opposite stand.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia, has been
asked by the Columbia Spectator,
student newspaper, to make an in-
spiration.
sor Dino Bigongiari, head of the Department of Italian, is using his official position to further the cause of Fascism among American students.
Charges have been made to the effect that The Casella Italiana, a club for the promotion of Italian culture on the Columbia campus, was built and furnished by agents of the Italian government, and that
Paul vice, its house organ, is now being used by the Italian government in the expression of Fascist propaganda. Professor Bigiongan has been accused of excusing all editorial opinion in criticism of his principles from The Voce and of refusing to grant graduate degrees or fellowships to students who will not pledge themselves to the support of Fascism.
Professor Bigongiari is entitled to his own political convictions and should not be excluded from the teaching profession on account of them. But, also like the students, he is overstepping the bounds of justice if he attempts to force his convictions on those he affects in its official position. The Spectator is right in urging Dr. Butler to investigate the situation, nor should we stop with investigating the case, if he finds the charges are true.
A MERCENARY HUSBAND-HUNTER
A young woman of Washington has offered to marry the first middle-aged man with reasonable qualifications who will provide her with $12,000 cash. In return she will offer her services as a competent secretary, a good cook, and an entertaining companion. The money is to be used to aid her father and mother, who are in distressing circumstances, having as their only income $14 monthly rent on a house.
A remedy for the situation has been proposed in the form of old age pensions. The plan is already being followed effectively in twenty-seven states, and if instituted nationally should greatly reduce the fears of middle-aged persons who find themselves in a position in which they are unable to save anything for old age.

Huey Long, Clown,

Huxy P. Long has been breaking into the headlines steadily for the past ten days. He is clowning as the "Kingfish" never clawed before.
The senator from Louisiana has unquestionable control of a large and wealthy state; whatever his political views, he is an ally of Louisiana's citizen. He has done it by building roads for him, by establishing night schools, distributing free books, and bringing the light of education to the most illiterate states in the Union.

OLD ROMANCE OF BOOKS
HELD BY WATSON LIBRARY
Students Look at the Massive Doors That Shut Them Away From the Stacks and Wonder What Secrets Then Hold
By Ruth A. Stout
The books in Watson library are packed in so tightly that no matter how dog-earced they become, ears avail them nothing. The pages must stand stiff and proper, unable to converse because of cramped quarters.
"What we need is more stack room, emphatically states Mr. C. M. Baker, director of libraries. Many of the 200,000 volumes of the university library and many other sub-basements because all shelves are filled for. Six years the library shelves have been filled to capacity. To "remedy this congestion and to take care of new purchases, I urge that as soon as possible the stacks be added to the west, as provided in the original plans, and that it be filled to its half capacity with steel stacks, providing space for 210,000 additional volumes." Mr. Baker's volume numbers are added each year, and no shell space remains to receive them. Gradually the books are getting out of their correct order; sections are already so packed that it is impossible to insert books there, therefore, becomes more difficult each year.
that his bombastic and sturting is deliberate dramatics. He has a keen brain an inherent sense of political strategy, which he uses toaken, however, he may be a dangerous force in the South. Huey is a clown, but he is also a super politician.
The lives of authors are placed on the level just below their writings, perhaps to uphold their weighty literature. The placing of economics texts just under biography stabilizes the structure Chemistry formulae packed closely together make it easy for a economy resilis the experimental nature of government at the present time. Health must still be the foundation of all good things; physiology and hygiene books are shelved on the first level. On the top or sixth level reside the fine arts not to be held down by or surpassed by any subject. An elevator adds to
The main stack section is floored with translucent glass between levels. Its grey shelves extend upward from the steel first through the sixth level. Along the south walls on each level are eight cubical shelves. Each desk is set beside a cistern window which overlooks the Wakaran valley. Though no talking or whistling is allowed in the stack, the wind whistles unrestrainedly through the window frames. This main stack section has six raised overcrowded condition, the books are neatly arranged; their brightly colored bindings lend enchantment to their titles. Irving resides just beside the side shelf of Cooper. Perhaps the ghost discuss their European travels, when curious students their pages at 10 o'clock each evening.

The stack for the reserve room generally contains about 5000 additional volumes. Students may take these books out of the library over night only, whereas most books in the main stack may go on two-weeks excursions.
Locked in a large closet, unknown to many persons who use the library, reside the greatly cherished rare books of the institution's mission only. Here, among other tomes, valuable historical material is preserved. The library, in addition, possesses an almost complete bound file of the library and Sunday from 1914 to the present.
The New York Times and the University Daily Kansan are the only newspapers which the library binds. Files of other newspapers, however, which contain the materials preserved. Notable among these is a file of the New York Tribune of the Civil War period. Another valuable file is one of the National Intelligence from 1808 to 1868. English and German newspaper collections were lost but like the other newspapers, because of lack of stack space, must be stored in boxes in office or sub-base; they will become nearly inaccessible. Thus the library is fast becoming "news-cram-
About 1000 volumes of 500 different magazines are bound yearly. These are scattered through stacks, reading room and reserve room shelves. Their next resting place, according to Mr. Baker, will of necessity be the floor or the atic. Seven special branch libraries are maintained for the departments of law, music, technology, music and medicine, but these too have been filled to capacity.
Unison stack room is added soon, Watson library must come to resemble one other. It can be occupied by professors frequently carry. It will offer even less facility in locating materials.
