Yet right here, where health, safety and comfort are most at stake, the least concern is displayed over mismanagement and graft. Probably just what is going on has not been brought home forcibly enough to the young person. He is absorbed in his own affairs—too contented to worry, or too much dissatisfied with personal matters to give a thought to public problems. He hasn't been really affected, yet by the general negligence. The young widow of Lee Flacy, who was murdered in the recent Kansas City election riots, probably has some very real feelings on the subject of bosses and machines. The student uses quantities of words in deploring conditions, but until he is hit personally he is not likely to do anything to improve them. He may be aroused before long, however, for who is safe when events such as those which disgraced Kansas City can occur? SHOULD CONGRESS DEAL WITH THE TARIFF? The mere mention of the wore "tariff" is almost enough to start a fight anywhere. People will quarrel over it without even stopping to think what side they are one. This has always been so, and that explains why President Roosevelt is so anxious to keep Congress from meddling with the tariff and prefers to attend to this troublesome proposition himself. The word "tariff" can be traced back to a racketeering town called "Tarifa," which existed at least 12 centuries ago. That the tariff has always been a serious subject can be amply proved in the history of the United States, irrespective of what party was in power. The Democrats in the past have stood for a low tariff for revenue only; the Republicans stand for a high protective tariff. In 1922 a Tariff Commission was created, which was supposed to stay on the job and suggest adjustments in rates which would keep foreign products at all times from competing disastrously with domestic products. While this idea was right in theory, it failed to work. By that time foreign countries had set up tariff walls of their own, which practically prohibited entrance of our products into their territory. This state of things has reduced our foreign trade until now it is only a quarter of what it was during the good times. The New Deal economists believe that the tariff is too delicate a problem to be entrusted to a blundering Congress. It would be impossible to bring back all foreign trade over night, no matter what was done. If President Roosevelt could assume authority over the tariff, thus doing away with months of wrangling by Congress, the United States will have a happier outlook for a return to prosperity, which, by the way, has been promised for a couple of years now. THIS WORLD WE LIVE IN Down in the grade school, we all studied geography. That is to say, we filled in some rather vague outlines with quite delectable patches of color. And, in dread of final examinations, we learned to reel off lists of principal products and the capitals of remote nations. There our systematic study of this world in which we live stopped. Whatever else we know has been picked up through desultory reading, lectures, or travel pictures. This sketchy treatment leaves the average student with a hazi- ness about geography which seriously hampers his understanding of world affairs. Far from know- ing the cultural and historical back-ground of a foreign nation, he is not even acquainted with its physical features. He has no clear conception of events in that country, much less an intelligent interpretation of them. This geographical handicap becomes apparent every time an Oriental nation figures in a news story. Ignorant of locations and their significance, unable to pronounce or remember the unfamiliar names, we almost inevitably fail to grasp the import of what we read. And yet there is a tendency to regard geography as something for children only. A university student is almost ashamed to admit studying it. If this idea could be wiped out, if widespread and serious attention could be directed to world geography, a better understanding of international affairs might result. WHERE THE DIFFERENCE LIES The revolt of Russia, youth has had a good deal of publicity in the past few years, but the chaos surrounding these members of a new generation has subsided now. Their outlooks, their ambitions have again reached a normal state, and, astonishingly, are just what they always were. The young people of Russia, like the young people of any other country, look forward to happy marriages and homes, to congenial and secure work, and to leisure hours filled with whatever pleasures attract them. These ideals are not so very different from our own, after all, are they? The Russians say that a difference does exist—in their realization that no one can attain this good at which all aim by snatchning it away from some one else. The new Russian seeks his personal happiness by the one method left open—by increasing What, then, has been the result of the wholesale overthrow, in Russia, of the customs and standards of the past? Has there been no damage at all? Is there really no difference between the dreams and ambitions of communist Russia and capitalist America? Frequent Schedules . .

While we in America struggle at cross purposes, with no clear conception of how we are to serve our own best interests, the Russian has a definite code and a set purpose. SENIORS: (April 24-31, 1914) By George Lerrigo, c'32 And yet, may not tie bourgeois American, the capitalist, in the end beat the communist at his own game? Under the banner of the New Deal we are groping toward a broader vision. Is it not possible that ultimately each of us will come to realize that he must seek his own good not through that of a single class but through the good of everyone? Twenty Years Ago A peep into the Browsing room of the library sometimes makes one wonder if he shouldn't spell Browsing with a D instead of a B. Charges made against the University accredited to Chancellor Roth, head of Christian College in Oklahoma, and printed in the Topeka Daily Capital, were denied as being absurd by Chancellor Strong of the University. The charge stated that card games were played on the opening day of the University; the cover of the college officials that the Daily Kansan prints profane language in its columns, and that profanity is heard in the college yells in chapel. The only accusation given any credence by the Chancellor was the one concerning profanity in cheering, and he attributed this to "jay" outbursts. Because of some question concerning the advantage of student government, the Chancellor made the following statement concerning his ideas on the subject: "Student government will not work unless the student council and the students are willing to come up the track on unpleasant things. Self-delic is necessary for any government and student government must practice it too. They must be willing to put aside personal feeling and personal advantage for it is absolutely fatal for any government to take any stand contrary to law and order. If it is perceptated on the right basis it can take care of cases of student discipline better than anything else." The veteren KU. battery of Bishop and Sommers was too speedy for the visiting Aggies from Manhattan, in a game which gave a 6 to 0 victory to Kansas. The farmers got four hits, and 14 struck out. In the meantime Kansas hatted the Aggie pitcher all over the lot. The Jayhawkers got a homer, a three-hagger, two five-hits, and five singles. Bishop scored the homerun for Kansas in the fourth inning which made the Aggies tighten up to hold the KU. men scoreless until the seventh inning. If the University had dormitories for women it would draw 150 more women to the University every year, according to F. W. Blackmar, head of the sociology department. This statement was prompted by a survey wh indicated that only 27 per cent of women who went to college in Kansas attended the University, while 64 per cent of the men did. It was believed that dormitories would create parent confidence in regard to their daughter's safety and welfare.
