THE GREAT QUAGMIRE
With the rainy season upon us, the city of Lawrence has become divided into two factions—those who live west of the great quagmire and those who live east of it. Like some sinister monster it stands guard ready to put its mark on anyone who seeks to escape to the other side.
Before the recent change in its condition the great quagmire was familiarly known as South Massachusetts street, but it has since been given various titles not all of which would be fit for publication. In its present condition it is pretty much a cross between a mud flat and an Arkansas hog wallow. The rock and gravel which have been spread over its surface serve admirably to lull the pedestrian into a false sense of security, so that started outcries are frequently heard when some venturesome soul steps from six-inch mud to some that is really deep.
There was much rejoicing among residents on Massachusetts street when the city officials announced the paving project. The joker in the proposition was not immediately recognized when they estimated that the paving would not be completed until June. But now they realize the considerable inconvenience such delay is bringing.
Although many cannot see the reason for taking until June to finish the project, a good deal of the criticism would be tempered if those in charge of the work would place boards across the boggy mess so that pedestrians might escape (theoretically, at least) from taking the mud bath necessitated a present.
Now that the federal government has announced that it believes Central American governments are sufficiently advanced politically to carry on fair and bloodless elections without intervention of the U.S. marines, we wonder if it will assume the task of bringing these same "civilized ideas" to some of our larger American cities.
THE BANKERS' CODE
The Bankers' Service Code which went into effect last Monday brought to light a number of local difficulties.
First of all, a number of students who have taken advantage of the banking facilities in Lawrence will because of these additional assessments be forced to withdraw their accounts. Money kept at home, in purses and in pockets is always in danger of becoming lost, stolen or misplaced. Although it does away with the cheek tax, it does not give the student the same sense of security that he has if he knows the money is safe in a bank.
A number of students have placed their money in the popular Postal Savings Certificates. These, if left for more than three months, will accrue a 2 percent in
terest and they are cashable at any time at the post office.
Heretofore, most of the merchants have been accepting student's checks, and a number will continue to do so and pay the added fees on those that are in payment of accounts. But this is an accommodation that the student cannot expect from the merchant; very many of these payments would leave the merchant holding the sack.
The banker's side has to be considered, also. The operation of the student accounts necessitates the hiring of additional help, or piles up work for the regular help. The local, state and national banking assessments added to the regular cost of operation for each account adds still more work and deducts further from the profit of the bank. This in turn takes money that would otherwise go toward improvement of banking service.
Suggestions for remedies have been offered by a number of students who are interested in the situation. A bank operated on the campus in the business office, for students' accommodation, would do away with many over-drafts and other existing evils of banking. This could not be done, however because of the strict state banking laws and requirements.
Another plausible suggestion that might be worked out is that one Lawrence bank take over all of the students' accounts. This would mean that with a volume of student business there would be less loss in cost of operation than with a small group of student accounts.
This situation, although not affecting a majority of students, must be met. Perhaps if a more satisfactory arrangement could be made, more students would avail themselves of banking facilities.
A man's position in the world used to be judged by the number of figures in his income. Now, it is assumed by the number of cylinders under his automobile hood.
COLLEGE STUDENTS AND HEALTH
A recent report by Dr. Haven Emerson, president of the American Public Health Association, indicates that the health of America since 1928 has been improving, rather than becoming worse with the necessarily inferior living conditions induced by the depression. He points out that our country as a whole possesses a better general health, and less fatality from sickness than at any previous time in its existence.
This report is rather important. It shows that despite increasing

Now is the time for formulation of healthy habits. The student should consider his physical welfare in connection with his future family, and how it will affect them. Sane living now will make the enforced temperance of the actual working world easier to conform to later on.
Miss Jameson, the County Social Case worker, will speak Tuesday at 4:30 at Henley house at the Girls Industrial meeting.
Dr. Emerson considers the college student in this report. It should make the undergraduate want to study his own physical condition, and form good habits for himself, so that he may carry on this standard of better health, even while he is immersed in his own troubles. The student may do well to study himself from a point of personal hygiene, and consider any unhealthy habits he may have, to see what effect they may have on his later life.
DORIS C. WESTFALL, Chairman.
Newspapers carried the story recently of the Wisconsin school teacher who was elected to the office of mayor. As a mathematics instructor, this woman had taught many of the voters who elected her to the high office.
One would suppose that a high school instructor would not be in the best position in the world for winning personal popularity. And when it is remembered how many students have great difficulty with high school algebra, this woman's election is even more astounding.

No one ever realizes that he had a good time during vacation until he has been back in school for a few days.
Since this occurrence, no one now will be greatly surprised if a truant officer is sometimes elected to a high city office.
