When semester finals are over, what will be the score of fatalities? Previous years have demonstrated that more students have demolished finals than have been wrecked by them. If it were not so, the noble institution of examinations could not survive. The real casualties during final week come, after all, from the long nights of cramming and staying awake on 'cokes' rather than the strain of writing for three hours without interruption on "The History of the Humanist Movement in Hungary." Instead of pleading for the abolishment of finals, why not advocate the prohibition of study after midnight during the week of examinations? Would the finals get the big end of the students-finals score then? TRANSFERS If Samuel Insull remains on board a Greek ship for the remainder of his life, we wonder what kind of bonds he will sell the Greek sailors? Only one who has had the experience can fully appreciate the discouragement of having from five to twenty credit hours taken away in transfer because the subjects are not recognized by the University. Although the hours may be useful to the student in his later life, they are useless toward getting a degree. It is especially exasperating to have the hours credited until one is ready to enroll as a junior and then have the authorities find that they have overlooked some of the disqualified hours and the student must remain a sophomore another semester. During the past few years there has been an increasing number of transfers because lack of money has made it necessary for many students to attend junior colleges the first two years instead of going to the University the full four years. For this reason there is increased need of more improved methods in handling the transcripts of transfers. More complete information should be given in the catalogue concerning the hours that will be credited by the University, and the junior college courses should correspond to the freshman and sophomore courses at the University so that hours which do not count toward obtaining a degree can be eliminated. OLD SNOW Like the city of Carthage, the final traces of Old Snow hall, once one of the glories of the campus, have been removed by tractors and plows. In the fall of 1928 the biological science students moved into new Snow hall. It was not until 1932, however, that workmen began tearing down the walls of Old Snow. Last summer the foundation was removed and nothing but a large hole surrounded by wire fences remained. Old Snow with its ivy covered walls was no more. When the landscaping in front of the library is finally finished the new students attending the University will have nothing to remind them of the building which once stood there. To them it will be something remote and unreal. Sie transit! This constant muttering of one down and two to go, or two down and three to go or four down and one to go, brings back those good old days in October and November when we were all crabbing about the sun in our eyes at the football games. CHEERING NEWS How a Phi Beta Kappa key happens to adorn the vest of President Roosevelt was recently explained by Pearson and Allen, the authors of the Washington Merry-Go-Round column which appears in many metropolitan newspapers. In company with Governor Cross of Connecticut, and former Governor Pollard of Virginia, both members of Phi Beta Kappa, the President laughingly admitted he had not received the honor until 25 years after he had left school. "I had to wait that long until I got mine," said Governor Cross. But Governor Pollard did a little better. He got his key only 20 years after finishing school. So if you feel that the world has many honors in store for you, perhaps there is no need to worry about grades now. However, it would appear easier and safer to qualify for Phi Beta Kappa membership while still in school rather than trust to winning that honor later by becoming president or governor. INVENTOR, WHERE ART THOU? If some one would only invent or construct a fountain pen or pencil with knowledge crammed in the tip so that it could be transposed on to paper without the aid of the student's brain, he would certainly make a fortune about this time of year. This pen wouldn't have to be an elaborate affair. In fact, the most dignified student would welcome such a contraption, no matter what it looked like, if it did the work. Of course, the student would have to exercise a little care and be sure to get the pen labeled history instead of the one marked algebra when he took the history examination, or things might not set so well with the professor, but that seems to be the only flaw. Cribs could be thrown away and textbooks would not have to be taken along in case the instructor left the room for a few minutes; and on top of it all, hours of worry would be saved and the social life of the University would not have to be neglected. Sounds like a good idea. Some- It is unsettling to discover how many times those dumb-looking freshmen turn out to be A students, and the wise ones end up as duds. Sounds like a good idea. Some one should work it out. The encouraging prediction of Jack Harris of the Hutchinson Herald, visiting the University Wednesday, that college graduates will find more jobs available from now on, comes simultaneously with a verifying report for students of fine arts that the government is employing 2500 artists FEEDING THE ARTISTS Inspired by Mexico's modern national school for mural painting, the American government is completing plans whereby sculptors, painters, and architects will decorate federal and other public-owned buildings. It is interesting to recall that by this method was the splendid Acropolis of Greece decorated in 441 B.C. In this way, too, are the social ideals of the recent Mexican Revolt to be expressed and preserved on the walls of Mexican government buildings.

ENGINEERS IN ENGLISH READING FOR HONORS IN ENGLISH: Students wishing to begin or to continue Reading for Honors in English will please consult Miss Burnham in 201 Fraser on the days of enrollment, Feb 6 and 7, between 10 and 12 a. m. or between 2 and 4 p.m. Please bring transcript without fail. J. M. BURNHAM, Chairman of Committee. The significance of this latest, though unheralded, plan of the government is found in its recognition of art as a vital part of a nation. And such an attitude shows that America is growing up. Twenty Years Ago (Jan. 26-30,1914) By George Lerrigo 'a university education delivered at your door' seems to be the motto of the University in its latest innovation in correspondence. Correspondence students were informed that if any six students in one town would band together that the University would send an instructor to meet with them once a week. This plan is part of the general state service idea of the Board of Administration to carry the work of the University all over the state. Each student that receives this service will be charged a $15 term tuition. The Kansas Aggies avenged their recent basketball defeat when they overpowered the Jayhawkers 29-25 in a game played at Manhattan. Lefty Sprolt tried to keep the Jayhawkers in tune with the speed set by the Aggies but despite his efforts Kansas was trailing 15-9 at the half. Shull was high point man for the Aggies, scoring six goals to four for Sprolt. To prove that the University students do other things than revel in social debauches and agitate over fraternities, the engineering school decided to send an exhibit of the work done to the engineers over the state. The display was in the form of photographs of the students' work, such as different models, drawings, and so forth. The committee chose to carry this idea out consisted of Professors G. C. Shaad, H. A. Rice, A. H. Sluss, J. D. Graver, F. L. Brown, and S. McMullan. The phantasy of the Student Union became an actuality when the Union committee received information that a house at 1200 Tennessee would be available for this purpose. The students were backing the idea, and a majority were heartily in favor of having an even more permanent building than was then available, one which would accommodate around 2000 students. Rodger Coolidge, captain of the basketball team expressed the general student opinion when he said, "That proposition is all right." Chancellor Strong proved his vocal ability when he rendered two old Yale songs at the M.Y.C.M.A.jubilee held here. He quite evidently pleased his large audience, which, not to be outdone by his Chancellor, later on sang some old favorites such as the "Crimson and Blue," and "Turkey in the Straw." Entertainment was provided by a boxing match, which was fought to a draw, Sandwiches and apples comprised the major portion of refreshments. "WHITHER MANKIND?" imagination of H. G. Wells we attempt to see an era in which the machine is mastered. For machines love labor—it's not just a job, it's a new freedom for thought and action. Our Contemporaries Great buildings, lodging machines that carry on the production of civilized necessities, need not be confusion but rather release. Less time and less attention to the manufacture of shoes and tooth brushes should prove a boom to all but the most materialistic. We suggest an attack not upon the machine, but rather upon the force behind the machine, the controller of the button—Iowa State Student. Aunouncement of H. G. Wells' decision to produce his first film, "Whither Mankind," a picture depicting civilization 150 years from now, was recently made. In it, we will see an era in which the machine is master, in which immense mechanical forces are released at the turning of a tiny switch and monsters of iron and steel are set in motion at the pressure of a button. So read the press notices. PROTECTING THE PUBLIC People shudder at the thought of such mechanization of their world. In the last century a great many have tried to run away from the confusion which they believed to be a direct result of the machine. Lafecid Hearn and Stephen Crane have taken to travel; others like Cabell and Hergesheimer build for themselves ivory towers where they live, safe from the unsolved and to them insoluble problems. We can see no such insoluble problem. Infringing upon the powerful When a bottle is marked "poison", we ordinarily don't swallow the contents. But when the bottle is marked something else, we may make the fatal gulp. While the American public has not been consuming poison by mistake, there is reason to believe that many foods and drugs on the market today are not as pure as they should be. In other cases false claims have been made by various producers. Although it is better to be "graped" than poisoned, in the present session, will be asked to pass legislation correcting both evils. Washington commentators look for a battle in Congress when the Tugwell pure food and drug act comes up for discussion. Certainly it can be only to the public's benefit if Congress raises the standard for food and drugs; such action by the government may mean dollars and cents out of the pockets of certain vested interests, and it is from the latter that opposition will be expected.—Daily Tar Heel.
