W.S.G.A. OFFICERS
Once again the women of the university may "point with pride" to a successful year in the Women's Student Governing Association, and welcome a group of new officers to their duties.
The W. S. G. A. is another of those unobtrusive University organizations whose work moves so quietly and so smoothly that due recognition is seldom received for its accomplishments.
Among the major achievements of the past term are a successful and entertaining musical comedy, and a revised constitution which provides for needed changes in government. The student activity ticket received the support and co-operation of the body, and the fraternity taxation problem was tackled in a commendable manner by the governing council.
To Lila Lawson, retiring president, should go credit for capable and efficient handling of a difficult task. Her duties have extended even to hearings in the Kansas legislature, and her work has been approved by important state officials.
To commemorate this year, the W. S. G. A. is leaving a scholarship which will aid some woman student in securing an education. It is with the best wishes of the University that the incoming officers assume the affairs of women government. It is to be hoped that their administration will prove equally successful.
The newest chapter members in fraternities and sororities are beginning to find out that "new initiate" is just a second semester word for "pledge."
Speaking of gluttons for punishment, there is the co-eed who dances all evening with a peck of feet in a quart of shoes.
An old fashioned man is one who can remember when people depended on the government for weather forecasts only.
The race for naval armaments seems more than likely to result in a draw of weapons.
ENROLLMENT
Three long weeks have slipped by and the cry of inefficient enrollment procedure has seemingly faded away because of the forgetfulness of a slightly interested student body. Enrollment occurs only twice a year for the majority, and, after it is over, they tend to forget what an ordeal it is to be ground through the inefficient and cumbersome machine set up in Robinson gymnasium.
Even if it is impossible radically to change the system just now, it could at least be somewhat simplified. The faculty and administration have indicated their willingness to make improvements, and students ought to take advantage of the opportunity presented. Why not submit concrete suggestions to the enrollment committee, since they have asked for them?
What is, at first glance, interpreted to be the result of consuming too many hamburgers, is oftentimes the soulful look in the eyes of one in love.
If it is a woman's duty to be pretty, says Helena Rubenstein, but for some of us ladies, the stern face of duty wears an eternal frown.
Did you ever see a ghost walking? Well, some Fusion poll workers did.
Many students in geology are always on the rocks.
PLAIN TALES from the HILL
Stamps from foreign lands seem to hold an irresistible appeal for college students, as well as their grade school brothers. Dr. Mahin, of the journalism department, received two beautifully colored specimens from South America recently, and was treasuring them for a personal collection. But some unscrupulous individual took advantage of her absence one day to try a little amateur stamp collecting of his own.
It is said in the department that if one sees Dr. Mahin bearing down upon him, it is probably not because he is guilty of wearing his hat in the newsroom, or failing to turn in a story, but because she wishes to ask him just once more to, "please see if you can't find the guilty soul who stole my precious stamps."
A query in a Kansas City paper caused a certain young lady a great deal of worry. Where, it asked, is Singapore? The article destroyed her confident answer by relating that the reader would probably say, "China," but that it was a thousand miles from there. It also added that "India" was another r commonly given wrong answer.
The coed, possessing a true womanly curiosity, finally consulted the World Almancar and found the actual location. She refuses to divulge her information, feeling that it will make a more lasting impression if you look it up yourself.
"Darling, did you remember that this was our anniversary? .I love you more every day..."
"Dearest, yes, I remembered. You'd have to love me an awful let before you loved me more than I love you . . ."
So ran the note posted in a prominent place at the reserve desk in Watson Library not long ago. The librarians were busily trying to identify the hand-writing and many were the titters as he note was read by the students.
Was somebody embarrassed? We ask you!
"Mae West," exclaimed one of the girls in the Shakespeare Intensive class, "is not so new and different. Why King Lear said, 'I did her wrong'—'way back in the fifteenth century.'"
A certain professor, in the education department, was explaining to his class he various methods of using leisure time and the great harm that might come from it. He said that when men worked hard and built up a huge bank oll they usually retired, only to become osteless and die in the next few years. Then the professor told "whom to this" who retired of this, I know a man who retired at 50, but lived to be 50 years old, or at least that is when he was buried."
Our Contemporaries
SHOULD - THE MUNTIONS MAKERS
GO UNCONTROLLED?
"Sell one country an order of armaments, and then use that sale as a talking point to sell a larger order to a rival country." This was the technique of Sir Basil Zaharoff, super-salesman of the Vickers-Armstrongs company of Great Britain. When Greece bought its first submarine from the Vickers firm, Sir Basil immediately informed Turkey and sold that government two submarines. The companies equally well on each of the many sides of European conflict. An English firm has strong branches in Italy, Japan, Rumania Spain, and the Netherlands. One man uses a de in front of his name when he sells munitions to France, and a von when he transects business with Germany.
1927
From the standpoint of the munitions men, nothing would be more tragic than the establishment of the League of Nations or any organization which would build up international friendship. If their business is to remain profitable nations must be constantly antagonistic. Two of the biggest munitions concerns in Europe—one French and one German—contributed money which helped Hitler into power. Political scientists who are far enough away to view the transaction clearly agree that these firms were backing the man whom they thought could best bring on an European war.

Krupp, the German munitions manufacturer, supplied great orders of guns and shells to the Belgians and Russians at the first of the World War. Those munitions were being used, to destroy Germany's own armies.

Such facts speak for themselves. They show that private business has made a heartless game of the entire munitions problem. Nationalization and international control of armaments is the only safe and sensible remedy.

And why are these facts not explained to the American people often? Almost 200 industries benefit every time that a single battleship is built. Consequently, 200 lobbies swarm into the national capital every time disarmament and munition control is suggested.
Unfortunately, the United States can not turn an accusing finger on Europe and at the same time pretend that her own munitions men are not guilty of such transactions.
In 1916, American concerns were supplying belligerents on both sides of the European conflict with the means to destroy one another. So great was their trade that the corporate earnings in 1916 were almost 300 per cent of those of 1920. Companies like the Bethlehem Steel corporation were recording a net income of from 40 to 70 million dollars more than the usual amount.

Without vacuum tubes, Long Distance telephony would hardly be possible. But with these little tubes placed in "repeaters" or amplifiers at 50 mile intervals along the line—even a whisper carries from coast to coast!
With many tubes used in tandem, individual performance must be almost perfect—or cumulative distortion would render speech unintelligible. That today's Long Distance connections are so reliable and clear, is a tribute to the skill used in making Western Electric tubes.
Manufacturing nearly all Bell System apparatus, Western Electric contributes much to the quality of telephone service.
