INTERNATIONAL INJUSTICE
Is it possible for citizens of this country to violate its laws and then quickly sit back and laugh at the government? It is. All they need do is follow the simple procedure of taking a steamer or journeying across the border into a country whose officials are friendly to their cause or whose extradition treaty with the United States does not cover their crime.
Samuuel Insull is still resting securely in Greece, and Martin Insull remains up in Canada, both free from punishment for swindling the American people of millions of dollars. Henry M. Blackmer of Teapot Dome repute (rather, disrepute) lives in France where he does not have to answer for his crimes. Courtney Julian, wealthy Oklahoma City oil promoter, wanted on a charge of using the mails to defraud, was last seen cavorting about in China.
A system which permits a person to commit a crime against his government and then flee to another country under the nominal protection of the wronged government, there to be safe from apprehension by his government, is a faire. Internationalism is nothing but a pipe dream as long as the elementary principles of justice can be thus violated because of restrictions between nations.
As a step nearer world understanding and fellowship, therefore, restrictions which keep a nation from prosecuting the violators of its laws should be removed. Red tape must be eliminated from international dealings, and the place to start is with those phases of it which obstruct the free course of justice.
Once a president endorsed Empress Eugenie hats as a means of restoring prosperity, but the movement failed utterly. We hope no similar backing is behind the white shoes.
About every other week there's one of those horrid days when everything goes wrong from the time you get up in the morning until night finally comes. The day begins when the alarm fails to ring and you are late at class. You haven't your lesson and the Prof. evidently knows it, for he certainly asks you plenty of questions. Or maybe you have a "shotgun." You forget to take a pen or pencil with you to the library, you get a run in your new hose, and the hoped-for letter with a check from home doesn't come. On top of all that you have meat loaf for dinner!
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG
The only way to end such blues provoking days is to snap on the lights and go to bed.
THE REGENTS SLICE
At a meeting in Topeka last Saturday the Board of Regents decided to reduce the salaries of heads of the state institutions along with varying reductions in the salaries of teachers in the state schools. No doubt the Regents took this step very reluctantly, being aware of the value of good men to an educational institution,
but the appropriation granted by the legislature recently was so limited that some reduction of this sort was incapable.
Men all over the nation are out of work, even men who have spent years in training and studying for their vocation or profession. Others have received wage cuts once, twice, or even oftener. In view of these conditions, it is inevitable that some reduction should be made in the educational field. It is to be hoped that Kansas loses none of the valuable men and women now employed in the state schools as a result of the reduction in salaries.
One of the transient joys in this hectic world of ours, one of the most estatic, is the Olympian pleasure of lying deliciously relaxed on the soft surface of a bed and letting the body, mind and soul float away of their own volition.
ON LYING IN BED
To savor this delight to the utmost, it is necessary to be lying abed when common sense demands that the Sybarite be up and about his business. Unless certain such conditions are fulfilled, it is little or no pleasure to indulge in the experience. In fact there are times when it is a downright hardship to be tucked under the covers. Take for instance the follow who is confined to his bed because of a slight illness, and who looks longingly out of the window at a soft, warm sky calling to him.
No. there are rules which must be followed, an experienced lying-bedder will tell you, and it is only by faithful application to them that anything like a maximum enjoyment may be had.
Set the alarm for the time you should get up, or leave a call. Pull yourself upright and hang your feet over the bed. Hear the voices and movements of those who are beginning the day's labor. Feel the warm breeze on your face, gently closing your eyes. Think of the many reasons why you should get up. Topple over backwards and surrender, while saying slowly but with little conviction: "I simply must get up!"
"I'm taking Ad. Soc. and Psych. this semester."
STUDENT ABBREVIATIONS
"I have an 8:30 in Ad, and a 9:30 in Chem."
Perhaps a student on Mount Oread would understand such a conversation, but anyone not versed in the abbreviating ways of a college student would never be able to follow the discussion. It's collegiate these days to abbreviate; but an average of one unorthodox abbreviation per sentence can hardly be called cultured.
"Comparative" is understood and accepted as the name for a course in Anatomy correctly named Comparative Anatomy. It might just as well mean Comparative Government, which is given in the Political Science department. "Soc" always means a course in sociology, "Psych" is always a course in psychology, and "Chem" refers to anything connected with the chemistry building. Of course nobody ever thinks of the manner in which Greekletter organization names are butchered. D.U., Phi Gam, and Theta, among others, are accepted in all of their incorrectness.
Announcement is made of an experiment with a clock that records 1/120 of a second. We have suspected very serious sorority house-mothers of having used such devices for a long time.
Perhaps the thing all harks back to the hurry which is characteristic of modern times. Whatever the reason may be, we suggest that the abbreviators say "Unc. Jim Green" and "Law. Kan."
A headline states that time does not make fortunes—it makes old men and women. We have often feared that old age was going to beat our fortune in arriving anyway.

"Third. Have you discovered your mental attitude?
It seems to be a common discussion among the more earnest college students whether a college education is worth while and at the same time just how much a graduate is expected to know. This question is important. Even the most conscientious student doubts at times whether he is doing justice to himself or if he has fallen below what should be expected.
Owen D. Young in a recent news publication gives a group of five queries which he believes form a standard guiding questionnaire for students doubtful in regard to this matter. They follow:

"Yes!" He stepped close and she could see the muddiness flickering deep in his eyes. "You fired him! I knew you would; I fixed that. I did! He couldn't keep on. And then he came to me and dared me to put him to work and I did and he walked into the traps and out again, without a scratch! And all the time he was closing in, closing in.

Vocal cords made of coal!
Typical of Western Electric care and precision in manufacturing Bell Telephone apparatus, is the making of the transmitter button which transforms spoken words into electrical impulses.
This transmitter button—the telephone's vocal cords—contains coal. Only a fine grade of selected anthracite, specially treated, is suited for this delicate work. First the coal is ground into fine granular form—next it is carefully sifted and washed. Then, after being roasted in special ovens, it is put into the transmitter button. Approximately 50,000 tiny grains must go into each button—too few or too many would impair transmission.
Such infinite care with "little things" is one reason why Bell System apparatus serves so faithfully.
