THE LAST HURDLE
Hill politicians who seek concientiously to abide by their non-mudsliding agreement still have one obstacle to surmount that has given much trouble in other campaigns. That is the temptation to indulge in a carousel of invective, innuendo, and bandying of personalities the night before election when the other party can do nothing to answer the charges.
In other years such a practice has been the worst feature of the campaign. Both parties would circulate the basest sort of lies about the other party and its candidates in an effort to ennarey any wavering ballots in the last few hours before voters went to the polls. There was absolutely nothing gained by such tactics, even superficially, since the tales were so preposterous and unfair as to work more harm to the abusive party than to the opposition.
Leaders have been fairly successful this year in keeping political utterances and campaign strategy on a basis of intelligent discussion of issues and platform planks. More real good toward efficient student government will result from such procedure than from a senseless debauch of political chancery.
A WISE DECISION
The verdict which has been turned in on the book student store proposition should be satisfactory to all concerned, and it is hoped that the common sense which lies behind it is obvious enough to squelch any cries of "politics."
In the face of the facts that have come to light in the investigation, any attitude other than the one taken would have been folly. A glance at the other university book stores is evidence enough that such an undertaking would be dangerous.
The few cents a year that would have been saved each student does not constitute a strong enough inducement for the establishment of the student enterprise with its incumbent financial responsibility.
Well aware of the cry that will arise from this statement, we believe that the student council has done a good job in its handling of this problem.
USELESS SACRIFICE
Many homes over the nation are in mourning today for the lives of young men who are sacrifices to a proud and useless idol, the ill-fated Akron.
This tragedy, another to add to the long series of major air tragies, should prove the utter helplessness of the dirigible in battling the elements. Certainly, it can be seen what easy prey the big air aircraft would be in times of war. Why must the United States gamble more lives and money when the Shenandoah and the Akron tragedies should be more than enough to drive the lesson home? England learned quickly and scrapped the R-100 after the R-101 carried 53 to their deaths.
Rear Admiral Moffett, a victim of the Akron, christened her sister ship, the Macon, only short time
ago. This new dirigible will soon go on trial flights if present plans are continued. Must more lives be lost before America quits its childish desire to lead the world in possessing such death traps?
A WOMAN OBSERVES
During the last W.S.G.A. election, the men implied in various ways that women did not know how to run a political campaign nor an election. The women took these criticisms wholly to heart and decided to do better next year. In order that they might improve themselves to the best advantage, they have been carefully studying the procedure in the present campaign for the Men's Student council. Evidently there are a number of things to be done.
In the first place, there are bulletins to be get out as often as the party can afford it. The women aren't so sure of the wisdom of a combine putting out a bulletin, but they have been considering the matter. They also wonder about the advisability of incorporating the candidates' pictures in these pink and green sheets, since those of the men did not appear particularly flattering.
In the second place, there is much talking to be done at all times, including before breakfast. The women believe they can handle this phase fairly well, from what the men say.
In the third place, there is a platform containing ten or twelve planks, to be worked out, but this does not seem very important. Sweeping generalities or little sugar-coated pills that would be comfortable for everybody can be made into the planks.
Oh yes, the women are learning fast from the illustrious example of the men. They will soon know how to carry on a political campaign and an election in good order. Their only drawback now is the fact that electioneering and political parties are expressly forbidden by the constitution of the Women's Self-Governing Association.
A SLUMP IN SPIRITS
Why so glum, my lad? Why so glum? Mid-semesters are over and the Easter vacation is almost here. Spring is just around the corner and life is full of thrills! But no, you won't cheer up? Just been to see your faculty adviser and found that school isn't a joke after all? Well, that's bad.
Just when you feel like relaxing and letting things slide, there always comes something to take the pleasure out of life. If it isn't a quiz paper being returned, it's a note-book overdue. And then, just to cup the climax, here comes the official report on the first half of the semester's work. Why can't the faculty be more considerate and allow a little breathing spell between the deluge of quizzes and the announcement of the results?
Oh, well, there's still eight more weeks to make up those low grades. But who wants to spend these lovely evenings in the library or poring over an old text book?
ECONOMY?
A group of twenty-six students and faculty members went to Wichita last week to attend the Mid-West Physical Education conference, and what did they learn? That the University of Kansas was the only school represented at the conference where physical education is not required and is not offered for credit. Would this imply that the University is lacking in its educational system?
In addition to the University, there are only one or two schools in this section of the country which do not require gymnasium work. Many require it and some offer credit for it, but the majority of schools both require the work and give credit.
It is unfortunate that it was found necessary to make the reductions that were made here. It is unfortunate that the University Physical Education department is forced to accept a low ranking in comparison with other schools in

Our Contemporaries
'Isn't it, then, about time you entrusted the wreckage to some new hands? Can't we afford, at least, to indulge in a little theory? Is there, in education, a good reason why the politicians can play fun at the college professors?'
It seems that the politicians at Washington do not take kindly to the predomination of college professors in the president's inner circle of advisers.
LINDLEY DeATLEY, Secretary.
Wednesday. April 5. 1932
West feminine voices "obs" and "ahs," these mighty glove wielders will fight on. With masculine shouts, either of encouragement or of condemnation, they will remain true to their padded mits and fight on to the finish.
The most visionary of collegiate dreamers could hardly have devised a system which would crash more commercially and practically than hard-boiled realists.
Vol. XXX
Here's power to the victor to night—and some secret sympathy to the less hardened fighters who will receive only brains and sore muscles as trophies.
If it irks the politicians to find the professors stealing the show, that is too much. If it isn't likely that the public will shed many tears—Pratt Dale Tribute.
Politicians and college professors do make cannol odd combination, when you stop to think about it. The arena of practical politics has little in common with the seclusion of the campus. Never before has a president had the authority to try to make the representatives in diverse fields pull in double bargains.
POLITICIANS AND PROFESSORS
COLLEGE FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES;
All College freshmen and sophomores are expected to see their advisers on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday regarding their mid-semester grades. Names and office hours of the advisers are posted on the bulletin board at 121 Administration building.
PAUL B. LAWSON, Associate Dean.
Habra una sesión de El Atene el jueves a las cuadres y media de la tarde en 11A. Que todos los auxos assisten. FRED W.JEANS, Presidente.
The Industrial group of the W.Y.C.A. will attend at Henley house tomorrow at 3:30. MARGARET MELLOTT, Chairman.
Yet in the differences that are now appearing, it is a fairly safe bet that the sympathy of the general public towards the politicians and professors and not toward the politicians.
this section of the country. And it is sincerely to be hoped that when the necessity for economy measures no longer exists, the department may be at least restored to its former status.
The college professor, to be sure, is by tradition an impractical and visionary fellow. He is long on theory and short on practice. He can cook up endless schemes which look well on paper but don't work out in real life.
MACDOWELL:
EL ATENEO:
There will be a meeting of all MacDowell members Thursday, April 6 at 8 p.m. in the central Administration auditorium. Professor Cruston will speak.
Consider: se situation for a moment. For the past decade all of our governors, who are hundreds of men, who if they were nothing at least practical politicians at Washington; we have had high practical and industrialists running the worlds of financial commerce.
MID-WEEK VARSITY;
The Dempesyes and Sharkeys of campus fame will dun their gloves tonight and enter into the final bouts of the boxing season. The brawny and hardened athletes will step into the ring to punch and slug their way to supremacy over their weaker and less-skilled contenders.
CONTEST OF THE GLOVES
After weeks of gruelling training and practice, the men will enter the contest with the air of professional scrapers. While the referees and judges look on, fast "upper cuts" will be met with hard-driving "slugs" and "rabbit punches." A blow for a blow, and the harder the blow the greater the victor.
The regular mid-week variety will be held this evening from 7 to 8 at the femoral Union building. OZWIN RUTLEDEGE, Manager.
That, at any rate, is the tradition.
But the college professor, today as
never before, is entitled to sit back and
enit a coarse, "Oh yeah?"

*Yes; a Lot of Matters a Girl Can't Handle It!*
"Perhaps you're asking for more than you understand . . . in the way of getting to work on your away, but I wouldn't want any man to come to work for me without knowing just how desperate the situation it is. You needn't travel all the way to the sort of man I need."
"People who have known this company for years figure that we are from a culture where they have the notion that we were marked paid. Perhaps they are right; I'm not."
"I might be simpler if I knew not how much you have heard?" He told him to the past hour, and she nodded slowly.
"Those things are all true. There's a fundamental problem of finance, however, which is behind it all. The company that we work for belongs to the Belkapm & Gorbel, holds enough of our paper to make our statement look very bad. We can hope for nothing but a little improvement. The only way we can meet those demands and keep from being sold out to satisfy them is to keep the mall sawing. I can borrow on lumber in the yard or on the street so we have some very favorable contracts. However, the contracts will be voided unless we are prepared to pay the cost of regular and prompt delivery."
"The way out now goes back to

the sales, the sales and the sales.

up against in the matter of transport
and delivery, of equipment, of dollar for more equipment. We must keep allonf with what we have to do."
She paused and John had a queer feeling; annagance at her apparent commence.
"Snow came carly and we're going to have trouble with it. We have fourteen miles of railroad through chapels, and we had to worry tonight and went looking for Tiny and Way-Bill—my engineer and conductor—to have them take the plow out if it didn't let up. That's what happened. The snow has stopped; were safe for tonight. How long well will be safe, one can tell. Without fighting雪 on a reserve of logs in the miltary, the day shut down would ruin us."
She panned again and her eyes shifted a moment from his intent scrutiny. She talked like a man, a businessman, but that change in her face indicated to John that she was playing up to a part, downing her weaknesses and limbing with an effort which gave her a hardened veneer of toughness, a hardness.
"No, things haven't been going so well in the woods. I kept Royce, my father's old superintendent, on because he was a big fish. I . . . I need man I can trust—the shell she had built about herself giving ever so little for the moment. "We were just getting along when Mr. Bekmung himself came up to Kamp-
John's mouth tightened and his brows gathered closer.
"The hems to have arranged things very well. For a year Mr. Gorbel, his brother, was going through the price on the property. I have refunded. After Mr. Balkemp left, the process of forcing us out began. They overaxied us, and Mr. Balkemp's bledhug put my superintendent out of the picture. The camp was overrun by the job. Two others who are good loggers won't come, now that the story has got around that Tom Balkemp could deal with."
"That is the situation," she ended abruptly. "That's what a super-independent will have to confront. Who are you to do it?"
He smiled, despite the unpleasant conviction that this Ellen Richards was going to be amazingly hard to break into a pocket for his bill-fold.
"A fellow doesn't like to pollish his own medals," he laughed, a bit nervously, as he considered the thimble ice on which he was treading. "Ive only learned it, but it's hard to think"—fingering through the papers in the wallet. "Ive had four years in forestry school, but the value of that remains to be proven, I suppose." He问 me what you expect in the way of personal qualifications. I swear when it isn't necessary; I smoke cigarettes! I've been known to drink some. I don't know all that there is hardwood logging by a long shot."
She was not reading the letter; watching him, instead, as though his words or manner intrigued her.
"I'd be interested in this job principally because it would," she wrote, "would make me want to know how good or how bad I am. I've done my best to size up my own shortcomings; as for the rest, I leave them unchanged, as we measured towards the letter she held."
The girl's eyes dropped to the scrawl and her mouth twiced. She was coming now, he felt it. She was getting help. He leaned forward a bit.
"That's a fine letter, Mr. Steele," she said. "With Hill Witch. I don't know if she'll ever tell me if slightly puzzled and passed a moment. Then, decisively: 'I'd like to have you go to camp with no tomorrow.' And then I'm going on the job You'll give an answer."
She rose with a manner of dismissal and John Belkman, masquerading now as John Steele, got to his feet, annoyed and confounded.
"Fair enough," he said; it was all there was to save. "What time?"
"Seven sharp, in the mill-yard. Good night. And once more; I thank you. "That was all right," he said, "I'd be glad to take on a row with a hand that is heavy."
He did not heed the顺ilk huskiness that had been in her voice, indication that thinking back to her encounter made sense for him. He did not care what on in the mind or the heart of Elen Richards except for what she might think or feel of him as an applicant for a chance to show interest, indeed, what he was made of.

CHAPTER IIII
He was in the mill-yard early, watching Ellen, clad in Mackinaw and breeres and paces, as she watched the loading of camp supplies. She was
Tiny Temple reached down from the locomotive cab to shake his hand; Way-Bill took a moment to apologize again for the trouble of last night, and him would see that both were watching him. He probably wondering about his errand.
he strolled about; watched the mill she; looked over equipment in the yard. With the train under way he walked down the road, away-car while Ellen remained below, talking earnestly with the conductor. Her words reached him occasionally as he savored in phrase and induction of the timber. She was a daughter of the comps, for certain; sprung from some stock which had given him birth.
Out to the northward they toiled, up mile after mile of stiff grade, and after seven miles they crossed the river with its water tank and tender house.
He just followed her around. He met men: Sanders, the foreman; a young woman who asked the scaler, the clock, Jerry Tubbs and mathematic. He heard her talk to those men as he himself would have told them. They were tertely, in their own language. But now and again he heard items which indicated the sorry deficiency in her life, the pain of confronting her. He kept his eyes as well as cars open; he asked questions of Eileen occasionally and of a man who was restive, up on the bit, growing hourly more provoked with a girl who knew him but who would keep him waiting.
From the crossing they rocked and clinked down long grades towards the distant timber, stopped at the Beltknap & Gorbel camp, spotted cars and on another three miles to Richard Camp Stxteen, woods headquarters.
But in late afternoon, when she led the men to the office, she asked the moment of the occasion to be the assured young business woman, filling a man's shoes more of less comfy.
The crude office was silent, and John closed the door.
"Wel, what do you think of it?"
"Hay-wire!" he exploded. "It's slow,
coolly . . . a joke! No wonder
you're in trouble, with a woods job
run like this one!"
She dropped to a chair as though suddenly weakened and her mouth worked. Then she looked up with a wry little smile and asked:
"Well . . . what would you do?" she asked, trying to put some tone of challenges into the words and falling.
He stood there and told her what he could do and why, item by item; told her what he had done, what he was displeasing him; told it with a thoroughness and his agility of inter-
She watched him, lips parting as his conviction carried him away and when he stopped, again standing before her, saying, "Those are a few of the things I'd do until I dig up dawdled do" she looked away into the sunset, then she took the naked tops of maple and birch and beech and her eyes misted.
"I'm glad you're looking for a hard job, John Steele!" she said calmly. "I think . . . I think I'm going to depend on you from now on."
He laughed then, as a man will who is coming out of a fright.
I do my best, he said,
