ONCE MORE
TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1934
Glenn Cunningham has done it again. The famous Kansas runner has added another world's record to his already great list of victories, and in the most impressive time that man has ever made on an indoor track.
Few persons, perhaps, realize what a 4:08.4 mile, such as Cunigham ran Saturation night in the Columbian Mile of the Knights of Columbus meet in Madison Square Garden, really means. Most sports followers look upon a mile run as a gruelling, breathtaking grind that only those who are in the best physical condition can endure. Few if any of them know that the Jayhawker ace made an average time of almost fifteen miles per hour for that mile, as he clipped more than a second and a half from the world's record. The fastest race horses have made scarcely twice as good time for the same distance, and the earliest models of automobiles did not cover the ground so quickly. This time, too, was made on an indoor track where the boards are banked and the turns are many.
Cunningham is to be congratulated upon another outstanding achievement in the field of athletic competition and sportsmanship.
It is a peculiar combination, when several sorority houses combine to form a combine, and then combine in agreeing not to expose it.
QUALITY
It is refreshing to find a person of real worth; not somebody who is interested only in impressing people with what he can do, regardless of the mediocrity of his achievement, but one whose zeal is applied solely to the attainment of perfection along some certain line of endeavor, without thought of the reward it brings.
Nowadays it seems as if the ultimate goal in life were not to approach a state of perfection in any one field, but rather to be able to "sell" something which is easily attained. It is not necessarily the man who can sing the best who draws the biggest check from the radio broadcasting companies; it is the man who can dupe the people into liking his singing, no matter how poor it really is.
Evidently we moderns have set up this false standard as a pattern for our lives. On every hand we see people trying to "sell" what they have for more than it is worth. Some succeed, others fail miserably. But the method is all the rage. It is the genuine hot stuff today, and most of us are trying it.
We need more of those people whose personalities are not built of soft pine with a glossy walnut veneer, but whose characters are constructed of solid oak.
Quizzes before Easter vacation are like the darkness before the dawn.
ADOLESCENCE
Since the investigations of his utilities company first started, Samuel Insull has shown the characteristics of a small boy running away in order to delay until the last possible moment the parental punishment which he knows is in store for him. During earlier investigations Insull could never be reached because he was a "sick old man" in a hospital. Now he has taken perhaps his last possible refuge on a ship.
Everyone has known the feeling of superiority it gives a small child when he can boast to a playmate of the fact that tomorrow his father has promised a dollar "just to spend." Everyone has also known the child who wishes to be the one supreme ruler of some vast domain and to have everybody looking up to him.
Perhaps it is possible that Samuel Insull, "the monarch of all he surveyed," made good a childish boast and cannot realize what tragic grief and suffering he has brought thousands of others, one of them his own son, because his utilities kingdom has collapsed and he has run away from the consequences.
Now he is a fugitive from justice, a veritable "man without a country" who is forced to flee from one haven or refuge to another. But he probably does not realize the true seriousness of the crime which he has committed. He is still the adolescent, fleeing with all he can carry with him and still the victim of his delusions of grandeur.
Count Leibniz, instead of being a wood chopper as some papers would have us believe, turned out to be a chiseler.
HELP FOR SENIORS
A movement for the benefit of graduates and candidates for degrees or recognized colleges and universities of this country has been formed.
With more than a hundred thousand graduates said to be out of work, and the prospect of about 125,000 to emerge from college this spring, the problem becomes a serious one. Many graduates in the past few years have lost heavily. Few have asked for relief, owing perhaps to pride. They have sought work beside working men. Others have been employed in minor capacities and with wages not in keeping with their abilities.
The National Collegiate society plans to exert its efforts chiefly in the problem of graduate employment and toward the solution of the question,"After Commencement-What?" The society concerns itself with the interests common to all graduates, but just now the employment problem is of most importance.
There are many ways to exert effort in this direction. It is hoped that the society can not only place a great number of graduates this spring but also broaden the fields of endeavor, encourage helpful legislation, recommend entrance into and creation of one's own business, and further entrance into public service for those most qualified.
According to present plans, it is hoped to provide a means for assisting graduates. It is hoped that the enthusiasm of the whole graduation body of the country will favor the movement and back it. With organized effort, results can be accomplished; with divided efforts, there is little hope for success.
In the antarctic frozen wilderness of "Little America," where Admiral Byrd's expedition is located, a member of the crew was seriously injured the other day. Not knowing what treatment should be administered, the expedition doctor consulted a New York specialist by radio. Within a few hours the case had been diagnosed, advice given, and the patient was on his way to recovery.
FROM THE SOUTH POLE
Another member of the party recently had the thrill of hearing his five-year-old daughter wish

him a happy birthday and express her desire for him to "hurry home."
Now comes the story of a dangerous operation for appendicitis executed successfully under the worst possible conditions. And instead of waiting months for news of it, the world finds the complete story in comparatively a few hours in its morning papers.
These men, who will be facing untold dangers and hardships thousands of miles from civilization for the coming two years, are nevertheless in almost constant communication with the world they have left behind them. Their achievements offer a true-to-life and timely adventure story seldom equaled in fiction.
Disregarding the commercial aspects of this radio program, it might be suggested that anyone who is interested in contemporary history-makers will enjoy turning in on Saturday night. He will hear the steamboat whistle of the steamboat, the barking of the dogs, and the weekly account of an expedition whose South Pole exploits will be in the history books of the coming years.
The great quantity of tin cans in our back yard bears silent testimony to a woman's love for bargain buying. Three cans for a quarter is a temptation difficult for the best housewife to overcome, even though the family has suffered hominy three times already that week.
Upon further reflection tins can seem symbolic; symbolic of the many meals prepared in the quarter-until-six rush before the men come home. The dexterity with which a woman in a hurry can wield a can-opener demonstrates muscular oe-ordination in its most highly developed form. With company in the parlor, it becomes a distinct feat.
BACK YARD
REMINISCENCES
back, tin cans are of romantic tender significance. When they can be removed from green young plants that have heretofore needed protection from the winter, then spring is really here.
DROUTH AND THE LISTER
Not so very many years ago the process of listing corn was discovered. By means of a machine called the lister the soil is turned in such a way that the tiny seed sinks in deeply when sown and is covered over from both sides. Thus the plant itself is protected more securely from drought.
Kansas farmers have not adopted the idea with as much alacrity as would be expected with repeated crop losses from want of rain. It becomes even more pitiable when at torrid noonday, as the light breeze comes over, the listed corn rustles the more because the stalks are stiffening and swing from side to side from the root instead of yielding up the stem, while its thirsty unlisted neighbor turns brown from lack of moisture and slowly dies.
Stay now and lean over the gateway while the midsummer hum of the corn sounds above. It is a peculiar sound, not like the querulous buzz of the honey, nor the drone of the bumble bee, but a sharp ringing resonance like that of a tuning-fork; that of the strong listed corn.
WASHBURN FELLOWSHIPS
Recognition of students of unusual ability is becoming more apparent with the years. The student who otherwise would not be able to obtain an education, is being favored, and rightly so.
A gift of $5,000 from Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas and United States senator, makes possible a loan fund of $100 at Washburn College to be added to $100 from the regular college loan fund.
Special work will be expected of the recipients of the fellowship.
and the work will depend on the ability and interests of the student. Ten students will be eligible to the fellowship next winter, and the number will increase each year with the increase of the fund through interest on the money and payment of the loans.
This plan is similar to that of the Summerfield scholarship here. These gifts to unusually good students increase yearly, and it will soon be possible for them to go to college without financial worries.

Although it is old news and hardly important enough when not old, to take up the necessary space, I noticed the other day that the W.S.G.A. girls had thrown another election—or shall we call it an election.

However, it was mighty interesting to the lay observer to notice that out of 502 votes cast for the major office, the victor received 276 votes, while out of 498 for next to major office, the victor received 267 votes, even though in the first case, the votes were split three is only 9 votes. That is almost as consistent as the Men's spring election last year, when there was a difference of 7 votes between the President and Vice President's total of the winning party.

Our Contemporaries
THE ARMY AND
THE AIR MAIL . . .
There is an old saying, but a good one, that it is a very ill wind indeed that does not blow some good. The truth of this statement must be more apparent to the American people now than it has been in a long time, for they have been called upon to watch, silent even though their own interests were at stake, a most amazing drama over the United States Army Air service.
The American people were extremely naive witnesses. The entire show came upon them unexpectedly. The world seemed to be progressing at its normal rate, and then suddenly, the President announced that all air mail would in the future be carried by the Army Air Service. The reason seemed valid enough. The private companies had obtained their contracts through collision. They had received enormous dues from the government, building up an air fleet of their own and bringing great profit to private individuals. There seemed no reason why the army should not fly the mails until new contracts could be awarded, on more honest lines.
There immediately occurred a series of most fortunate accidents. It is true that the weather was bad. It is equally true that private air lines also had accidents during this period. It is true, too, that only four flyers were killed in the actual飞翔 of the mail. It is true, finally, that the private air companies and the press which represented them made an amazing howl about the army's poor equipment. This was propaganda, and, considering its course, not worth particularly much. But the army forces, despite all the patriotic enthusiasm the people would like to have for them, were disclosed to be inefficient.
The President recognizes this inefficiency and has taken measures to remedy it. And the people, who must in cases of emergencies respond upon the force's request, are thankful that the inefficiency was disclosed at a time when the country is at peace with the world rather than at a time when the army air forces were necessary to defend the country. Whatever deficiencies there are in the force, will the people can feel sure, be remedied during the coming years—The Michigan Daily
