Presidents of colleges and universities, wherever the system is being tried, seem to favor continuance of the plan. A resume of the CSEP situation will show some of the advantages brought about through the project. General enrollments have been either increased or prevented from decreasing to a great extent; necessary work about the colleges which was abandoned when educational funds were lowered is being done; ambitious students, by making sacrifices, are enabled to live on a budget of $10 to $20 monthly in order to gain a college education. Locally all these advantages are being realized. Funds for the CSEP have come through the federal government as part of the general relief plan. To a large extent, persons benefitted by the project were either unemployed out-of-college students, or college students who would have had to leave school and join the ranks of the unemployed. Undoubtedly some of them would have come under other government projects to aid unemployment, with but with the CSEP they have been able to prepare themselves for better positions when this period is over. If it is anyway possible to continue the plan for another year or even for another semester it will offer the Student Employment Bureau a solution to the problem confronting it for next year. The CSEP, as J. R. McCain president of a Georgia college, says, "may be the most constructive and is likely the most permanent of all the benefits the government is providing at the present time." Students should not become superstitious just because today is Friday the thirteenth. They have been walking under ladders in the Administration building for weeks. MEDICINE OR POISON? One of the major problems to be solved by Congress within the coming few weeks concerns the stomach and general health of a populace—vitally important factors in national happiness. It is the controversial question of the Tugwell Bill, an attempt, sponsored by a prominent economist, to provide more stringent governmental regulation of foods and drugs. Back in 1906 a Pure Foods bill set standards which put a stop to such practices as making catsup with old tomatoes plus an occasional field-mouse—a thing which actually occurred—or the selling of dead horses from glue factories as beef. It also required that poisons be distinctly marked and drugs labeled. But it made no provision for advances in science and selling; therefore it has become antiquated. Today we find the market literally flooded with patent medicines, drugs, and mechanical curative devices truthfully labeled perhaps, but advertised outrageously as cures for anything and everything. The law cannot regulate advertising, so unsuspecting people the world over are squandering money and ruining their health with worthless or harmful curatives intended, for example, to reduce excess avoir-doupure or cure cancer! Cosmetics also fail to come under the jurisdiction of the present law, and preparations containing actually dangerous ingredients may be sold freely. Authors of the Tugwell bill were forced to rewrite the initial outline because of the strong opposition of the much perturbed food and drug manufacturers. As it now stands several compromises have been effected in the bill, but Congress is still deadlocked on the subject, and the fate of a nation's health rests in the balance. NOW UNITE A clean sweep of council offices by the Pachacamac party ends another men's student election. Though little can be said for the election system, now is the time to forget politics and parties and to begin thinking of worthier accomplishments than putting the party man in office. The coming year should prove the ability of the chosen candidates. We have little reason to commend or attack the incoming student leaders. Instead we prefer to wait and see. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: In the light of our all-to-recent political stink, may we, dear editor, inquire how it is humanly possible for col- or even more sophisticated completely, with unrealistic trivialities? Can it be that the sole value of a college education is the instillation of an attitude of complete detachment from the cruel and naked facts of life? This disintegration of the college intelligence is brought vividly home to us by the political frothings (Csetthing's) and the dreadful misogyny (us use here which we endure nerically The sublime example of ridiculousness is, of course, the women's political fling, in which the only thing the candidates stand for is two hours with a cup of tea after which the election turns on the crook of a finger or the quality of the sipping noise made by the fortunate contender (unless the Kappas and Theta have seen eye to eye before-hand). A close second is the lamentable period when the Pachacamaca Rag Chewing and Fat Frying Society and the Oreid-Kayhawk Marching and Jolly Times Club begin to try to inflame the gentle public over platforms whose importance is exceeded in degree only by the apathy of the male students. The issues in question this year (as in ages past) seem to be whether one "Light of Truth" Club or the other shall be permitted to turn its efforts toward doing as much for its own members and as little for the University as is possible, and how many and what percentages of the "upper" social classes shall mingle with the collegiate proletariat in pursuit of this inactivity.

A.: No.128 why cannot further citizens concern themselves with the political policies of the city in which they spend nine months of every year, in which they may request special protection from the return the balance of power in favor of highly progressive civic reform? Is their sympathy and democracy aroused by the gross injustices and deliberate discriminations directed against some of their number because of the color of human skins? How can they disregard so completely a political and social organization of campus life which accentuates and aggratives social stratification and class consciousness instead of transcending them? Are students going to concern themselves with the realities of our social and economic environment, or are the "realities" of student "self-government" only to the manifest as we collectively concern ourselves over the vital matter of whether or not spittoons shall be placed in the men's lounge? Y. W. C. A.; Current Screen T. P. This Side of Heaven (Patee) is a type of picture which, up to date, has not been overworked on the screen. It is the story of a family with all the troubles—great and small—and joys that come to the average family of today. As the story begins, each member of the family is busy with his or her own affairs. Unknown to the rest, the father, Mr. Turner, fears an embezzlement charge of which he is not guilty. Mrs. Turner's novel has just been accepted by Hollywood picture producers. One daughter, Peggy, is about to depart for college. The older daughter, Jane, plans to be married. The son is interested wholly in making a fraternity. Yet when trouble, in truckloads, enters the household, the group is quickly drawn together again. In addition to Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Turner) the cast includes such actors as Tom Brown, Mary Carlisle, May Clarke, Una Merkel, Fay Bainter, and Dickie Moore in a short scene. Miss Merkel is the Turner maid offers a good share of the humor in the story. Every role is well-portrayed and at no time does the picture fail in holding one's interest. Amusement flee out the window with George White's Scandals, and history with a capital "h" enters the Varsity for Catherine the Great, with the picture Catherine the Great. The Gibbs Clothing Co. "WHERE CASH BUYS MORE" This picture, which concerns itself with the intrigues, madness, and griefs of a Russian court in the eighteenth century is a long ponderous vehicle that does not click. The play will be uninteresting to the observer who has no knowledge of its historical background, with the exception of a few scenes which have very generally been ruined by the censors. In this picture there is no life, no real characterization, and no spontaneity. Made of genuine broadcloth, full cut and guaranteed fast color. The "No-Ta- Fly" permits free leg room. Pair . . .

St. $ 3 5^{\mathrm{c}} $ Others 19c to 25c Doug Fairbanks, Jr, and Elizabeth Bergen are themselves playing a fictitious character, and the audience can sense the artificiality, although at times Fairbanks does some fairly good acting. The feminine lead relies on loud shouting and great slaughter of riding crow for rage, and set of mouth and widening eyes for grief, which is what she is doing most of the time. The play concerns briefly the reign of Catherine the I, the ascendancy to the throne of Grand Duke Peter at her death, and his disposal by his lovely wife Catherine the II whom he despises. The whole plot is woven around these three people's illegal lovers, mental functions, and griefs. None of these particular points are touched on enough o become interesting. BUSY TIMES?
