SUNDAY, APRIL 8.1934
Entered as the second class matter, September 19, 120 at the post office at Lawrence, Kannas.
ALL-AMERICAN
The large schools of the East and the Pacific coast have been awarded most of the places on the Literary Digest's All-American basketball team of 1934, a team selected with the aid of an advisory board of seventy-five prominent college coaches. At first glance it becomes apparent that it is the school and not the individual player that has been given the distinction.
Wyoming University, winner of second place in the national A.A.U. championship race at Kansas City, a college championship team, which placed three members of its team on the first string National A.A.U. All-Stars (McGinty on the K. C. Star team; Witte on the Journal-Post team; and McGinty and Hamon on the Topkea Capital team) were given only one honorable mention on Gage's Literary Digest selection after three full college honor teams from large schools had been named. And the national A.A.U.meet is supposed to draw the best teams in the country!
The Big Six, home of basketball, is given only three places on the honorable mention list: Ebling of Kansas, Browning of Oklahoma, and Miller of Missouri. Is Big Six basketball as inferior as that?
Is basketball so superior in the large schools that men from Purdue, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, N.Y.U., and Washington can so easily be picked out for the first team, or that Duke, Navy, City College of New York, Iowa, and St. Johns be ranked for a second team, or Marquette, Texas, Southern California, Butler and Yale be relegated to third rank?
Like many other All-American teams, it looks as if the rank of the school had been given precedence over any consideration of the individual merit of players. And the middle west, as usual, has been given the customary cold shoulder!
THEIR FIRST QUARREL
The vote of Congress overriding the presidential veto of the Independent Offices Appropriation bill has a number of phases, some political and some financial.
Perhaps the Administration in the economy act of last year cut too deeply. The veterans claim so with a great deal of earnestness, yet they are disposed to admit now that some legislation had been too liberal and that it involved the country in more than a fair recognition of their claims.
Some of the adjustments that they asked had already been granted by executive order. More was provided in the bill as it came from the senate, but the house went the whole route. When the President rejected the bill in accordance with his principles of reduction in government cost, Congress nevertheless passed it over his veto, giving him the first significant rebuff that he has suffered.
The reason for this action of Congress is not difficult to find. The members of the house come up for re-election this year. The soldier vote is an important organized minority vote in their districts.
Such a block always receives consideration from congressmen anticipating re-election.
Aside from the political angle, the important thing is that the act provides for payment to be made not through the sale of bonds, which are obligations of the government, but in currency issued by the government, which will be legal tender. That this provision should receive such an overwhelming majority—one 1 a r g e enough to pass a bill over the president's veto—is significant, especially when it is considered that the "aye" vote included many Republicans, and not all of the so-called "radical" type.
A revision of our monetary system is bound to come, but when it does, the change should be carefully and scientifically executed, and so controlled that the mistakes, which history shows are always possible, can be avoided. Voting currency issues under political pressure from minority groups is not a good way to go about it.
THE PLACE OR THE MAN
Editors may serve their town and their state equally we11 whether they write from a small country weekly, a small town daily, or from a large city paper. So it might be observed from the list of ten men who have been selected by editors of the state of Kansas in a state-wide poll as the best qualified by the merits of their lifework to be considered eligible for a permanent place on the Kansas Newspaper Hall of Fame.
These ten men are from ten types of towns, men from ten different environments. Then, is it the place that counts so much, or is it the man, and the purpose to which he devoted himself?
This is the subject on which members of the graduating class might ponder, especially those who are prone to think that it is only the city or town that is vitally alive and can offer the fullest opportunities. These ten men did not find their towns vitally alive; they did not find their newspapers potent. They made them so.
UNDERCURRENT
1
There comes the time in every young man's life when fame is within his reach, but often a quirk of fate causes it to elude his grasp. So it was that wafame approached a lad in Survey of Chemistry last Friday, and so it was that it was very important feature at him when it scareded away, laughing impressibly.
Professor Stratton was demonstrating with a portion of turpentine before his class of curious laymen, who have been in awe and fear of the mystery of chemistry all semester, when something unexpected happened—the turpentine was spilled, and caught fire on the desk. The class was dumb with helplessness until Mr. Stratton shouted, "Fire extinguisher" and dated out of the room.
The aforementioned lad fought his way to the door and bounded down the hall in search of the extinguisher, and for a few mad moments could not find it. When his wild wife did spy it, a large, heavy thing, he jerked it from the wall and lugged it awkwardly down the hall to the classroom. It was so heavy that the weight of it left him following like a cat fleeing away. The away leased-hound. He swung into the room, shouting "I've got it. Sit still."
But Mr. Stratton and a small amount of something or other had put the fire to flight, and order and calm was in the room. There the lad stood, with the can in his arms, and nothing to do with...
Our eyes have been amused with many things, what with Hobo Days, changes in feminine fashions, and—such, but a new sight came with the deluge last Tuesday night. The downpour began around that cruel hour of parting, 10.30, and it caught not a few men with her arms; the transportation or the sheltering shield of women. But rules are rules, and housemothers must adhere to them.
So it goes—so it goes!
And so it happened! Splashing down the middle of Oread river, he went, tightly encapsulated in a young lady's fancy slicker, with the fanier handle of a silk umbrella clutched in his hand—the umbrella, of course, protecting his bowed head from the soaking rain.
The love of a woman and the fear of pneumonia will make a man do almost anything.

The meanest man in the world, followed by his very small son, went into a local drug store last Saturday to buy a cigar. While he was engaged in the purchase, the little fellow lost his heart to a display of chocolate eggs and marshmallow-eared bunnies on one of the counters. He tugged at the man's coat, and pleaded "Daddy, I wana Easter egg, please."
The father jammed the cigar in the right corner of his mouth and, grabbing the lad by the hand, barked out of the left corner, "You can't have any. Come on!"
The well-known sporting instinct of college students was clearly exemplified the other day. A professor, who has been absent several times this spring because of illness, was again unable to meet his two-hour class, and decided as the next best thing to send up questions for a short quiz.
Somehow the word got out of the impending quis, so that when a fellow-professor, who was to conduct the examination, left the room, the students had silently slipped away.
We wouldn't want to be in that class when the professor does come back!

AN AIRING FOR
Daily Iowan:
The answer has been obvious, James Bryce gave it when he showed that American politics is looked upon as a "dirty game" unfit for decent men. This view, which is not without four-
For many years, and more especially since the war, college students have been told that they are lethargic and indifferent in the vital matter of politics. Legion are the addresses delivered to students by speakers pointed to student movements in foreign countries and asked why not in America.
"DIRTY" POLITICS
dation, led the best minds of the nation away from politics and caused an influx of the type of men who could play a "dirty game."
Now, however, this view is changing.
College men are realizing to a greater extent than ever before that if politics mattered, they would not no one entered it to give it an airing.
Within recent weeks college students have begun to take an active interest in political affairs. The new view is expressed by Frank Brunton, editor of the Daily Northwestern: "Collegians talk against corruption and domination
talk against it, copulate that definition by greedy and ignorant man, but nobody does anything about it. For too long the college man has regarded politics as much too dirty for him to become involved in it."
And this way from Wayne Rapp, president of the senior class at the University of Chicago: "If college trained men are good enough for President Roosevelt, why are they not good enough for local and state government?"
Too long has politics been considered taboo as a profession. Even when men devote their lives to it, they prefer to consider it a sideline, an avocation. Few men in public service—and probably none of the men in the highest executive positions—were owned to politics and the business of government as their business, even though that has been their source of livelihood for years.
The reason is that politics was considered a shady business. It could be respectable only when a man entered it and the aturing, at the "urging" of his "friends."
Such utter tommyrot must be eliminated before politics can emerge from the limbo of the culturally tahoo. For the business of government can be made an honest and honorable profession, and the part which college men can play in bringing about the transformation is great. It to the collegi to bring the light of good government from under the bushel of graft and corruption.
