BAR POLITICAL ORGIES
The Kansan has been criticized in its campaign against muddling-in Hill elections on the ground that its editorials have given the impression that abuse is a dominant factor in the situation this year. "Why not comment on the good points of the platforms, instead of talking about muddling?" campus politicians have asked.
The Kansan is restrained from taking a partisan stand in campus politics by section 7 of the General Policies of the Kansan Board. Although it may and does discuss constructive aspects in the policy of either party, it cannot depart from a position of neutrality. This year, the paper has protested against the use of invective, innuendo, "smearing" of personalities, and all the other political methods that fall within the classification of muddlinging. It has pointed out such examples of transgression in this respect as both parties have furnished and has attempted to show the ineffectiveness and assiminity of such practices.
It has not meant to imply that mudsliding has occupied a major spot in this campaign. As a matter of fact, this campaign has been characterized by cleaner politics than have others in recent years. Evidently campus political leaders realize the futility and unfairness of such tactics. The Kansan's campaign has been conducted in the hope that the paper could show that it would be disastrous to student government for this year's campaign to descend to the political orgues of other years.
ANOTHER WAY OF LOOKING AT IT
There is little question that the agitation of groups and individuals interested in seeing taxes on fraternity property collected was in no small measure responsible for the immediate re-opening of the case, with the burden of proof of the constitutionality of the recent act of exemption resting with the organized houses. Acting in what they believed to be the best interests of the taxpayers of Douglas county, these groups and individuals were insistent that the back taxes be collected.
Of course, there is no way of knowing what decision the Supreme Court will make on the case when it finally comes before it. But if the fraternities are required to pay the back taxes, it may become apparent then that it was not in the best interests of the taxpayers that the back assessments be collected, for the reason that a majority of the houses on the Hill may be unable to meet the extra charges.
In this case, the Lawrence groups who hold mortgages on fraternity property will have to pay the taxes to protect their investments and prevent the houses from being sold by the county. And it is entirely possible that the resulting losses to Lawrence stockholder in those associations will be more of a detriment to the community than allowing the fraternities to escape payment under the law would have been.
MAN CONSULTS HIS WATCH
"Man is the only time-binding animal," someone has said. The essential difference between the animal mechanism and the human make-up, discounting the thin coat of veneer, is epitomized in this statement.
A dog chases a cat until he is tired or the cat scamper up a tree, and then the dog forges all about the incident. A man chains a street car, and after giving up the chase to wait for the next one, he makes a note to start sooner the next time. He has profited, and will probably inform his children that if they want to catch a street car they must start on time. A dog can't pass on the information that the best time to catch a cat is during the feline's napping time. The pup has to learn for himself.
All of which goes to prove to our spellbound reader that he is living in midst of history-in-the-making, and that he is benefitting from the past, drawing from the present, and passing on the result to the millions of unborn children, who will probably make many of the same mistakes that their fathers did.
PROLONGING THE EVIL DAY
President Roosevelt's latest stroke is a plan whereby a billion dollars in present mortgageg at six and seven per cent will be exchanged for new certificates of indebtedness at four and a half per cent.
The plan has only one redeeming feature. It avoids the immediate collapse of the present economic structure, thus allowing time for a revision that may be able to place enough money in the hands of the farmers so that the debts may be met.
There is grave doubt, however, that the time-honored and worn system can be revived by the artificial stimulus of legislation. If this be true, then the President's plan is only a precrastination, a setting back of the day of reckoning.
Big business tried the idea of postponing debts. Things went swimmingly for a few years, but in 1929 big business hit the tobbogan.
Joe Winty, the campus persisted, says that he is greatly disgraced with the two Hill party platforms. "Nother one of them would say to about a plank for eliminating political parties," be lamented.
EASTER FASHIONS—
Each year, the clothes shops get the women well stocked with smart new spring clothing many weeks before Easter. Then the ladies bitterly bemoan their lack of beautiful finery for the Easter Sunday fashion parade.
The weather seems to have joined forces with the depression this year, however, and new clothes—if any—promise to retain their beauty until the holiday. No woman dares on her new spring bonnet knowing that although the sun is shining at the moment, it may be raining or even snowing in an hour. There is no harmony between galaxies, stickers, and new spring models.
And so the new hat remains in its box—just waiting for sunshine and Easter.
Distinct approval in medical and nursing circles is being given the comparatively new combined nursing and liberal arts course offered by the University of Kansas. Although this new six-year course is nearly unknown by the majority of students, it is making a rapid progress and is gaining in favor.
NURSING COURSE FINDS FAVOR
The new course is designed to meet he rise standards of modern nursing. For many years, the three-year course was considered adequate, but gradually the public has come to desire nurses with better training, greater scientific and cultural background, and nurses older in years and experience.
There are 81 women enrolled in the course this year. The University awards a bachelor of science degree upon the completion of work in the training school.
There will be a meeting of all fraternity and sorority presidents Tuesday at 4 p.m. in room 103 Administration building. This meeting is to determine a program on the pending tax question. Every president is requested to have an alumni advisor present at the meeting.

The sad part about the situation is the means by which a vast army of young men and women too, have to go about carrying their way through college. Take, for instance, a student who works for eight hours during the afternoon and is unable to draw a living. What he is able to absorb from a lecture at nine o'clock the next morning? Consider the case of the man who is forced to hurry from his classes every day at home in order to make deliveries for a cleaning company, and then perhaps table for two hours before getting a machete to fulfill a benefit from a class in philosophy? On the other hand it may be said that the average grades of those students who work their way has been found to be higher than the grades of those who do not. Perhaps, they do their outside work while other students are engaged in some form of amusement. Personally, we feel that they receive the degree at all, as training for future battles. —Alabama Crimson-White.

W. S. G. A. COUNCIL
The story of a student at the University of Kansas who received his Doctor of Philosophy degree after having lived in an automobile one year and subsisted on 1316 a day brings up the question, "Was it worth it?" According to a recent survey, approximately forty per cent of students employed colleagues work their way through, which or in part. Of this number perhaps one-third receive no outside help.
W. S.G.A. Council will meet Tuesday night at 7 o'clock in room 5 of the Memorial Union building. LILA LAWSON, President.
WORKING STUDENTS
Is it worth the sacrifice these students are forced to make? No one doubts that they are to be commended for their courage and determination. But the popular conception that a college education is the master key to success is being discredited on all sides. No longer do the pressant theories of the value of a degree hold. It has been revealed that college is not to be recommended unless the student goes, a college education was universally accepted as something to be taken at leisure, a process by which thought was developed.

SYNOPSIS
CHAPTER I - "Ton" Beklamp, big timber office, or complete rest, plans a three months' trip abroad. Fromizes John, who is soon to join John, just commending in the business, are broken for no apparent reason. Paul Gorbelski, Beklamp's partner, whom Paul Gorbelski, Beklampski's partner, whom Beklampski forever dislike, is a bone of contentment and son part of the team.
CHAPTER II
John's, head. Jerked. He leaned tensely forward!
"What? It be demanded, a long drawn word, strained with surprise; perhaps with something like shock.
"I said; wed got news a certain party who's raised h'ed one was here composing," he said. "We aimed to get him back to Kampftend with bad news for old Belkanna. He excited like we was, and both I had been telling him. Not important, usbyb, but true!"
John took a quick breath and let it out through his nostrils in an amazed whiff.
The big fellow felt his chin gingerly and his head, and then shook it as it to chase off the fog which impaired his faculties.
"All right, Tiny?" the other asked.
"D he git away?" he asked.
"Away, your grandma! There he bets, Tiny!"
The dazed eyes followed the gesture and then blinked slowly.
"But this one . . . he's a stem-
winder!"
"Then we'd have a lot more to worry about. Yes, sir, if old Belkapka could hire 'em like you, chun-ho' to help him with the tasks somehow to lay awake nights about!"
"Y G—d, Way-Bill, 'tnn't hlm," he said weakly. "Nn nnii."
"‘Nd if this one was birth—”
Tiny had been staring at John and now his gaze wavered as a man's will when he is overcome with embarrassment.
The boy's heart was pounding. Old Tom, starting that sort of trouble?
" . . . get up," he mumbled, and
John helped him to his fet.
"All Right, Tiny?" Way-Bill asked, and when assured that the late unconscious man was getting to be as good as new, he turned to John. "Guess it's him," she replied, but John caught some vague change in the attitude of the group. The shuffling of feet, the murmura, the books spoke of a growing chargin and such as much as had snarked Tiny's faltering guess. "Stranger in this country?"
"Mebby you've heard of old Tom Belknap!"
"I have . . . once"—some of his wrath surging upward to mingle with high curiosity.
"Well, he's evident aimn' to run the Richards company, here, off the earth. He's done a plenty, but the last time I saw him working as a hand named Rannel to Kannappu.
John, frowning, followed the man's matter-of-fact words closely. He spoke as one sense of himself; even as one reciting common knowledge.
"This Baxter's a tough customer. He mixed it with our woods boss last week, tossed him off a car 'nd broke his hip. Tonight he was advertised to come over here 'n clear out the woods," he says. "He hot-voice rising a triffle-'bent that old Belkman only wants to close us down so he's can buy somethin' or little or nothin'. We done what, likely, you'd do for the outfit that bried you in, and that flat 'n square 'd in a jacket. Only . . . we done 'n error."
A grim little man, he was, but had spoken with a fine spirit of loyalty. He now added: 'I'm sorry. Tiny, here, sure ought to be awful smell, everybody also feels like we do. I hope, charm the feeler's a lot hard."
They stilled as a group will when an answer to an important question is due.
"Why, no. . . I see how it is," John said, but blankly.
Like a white-hot thread the thought seared through his consciousness. If you aren't so desperate for it, they against a weaker competitor. Now, might that not offer a greater veneration, a more complete relief for his friends and strangers than the strangers with his fists? Until this moment his only possible vengeance on his father had been to run away,
Mistaken for his father's hiree, Bally and Old Tom try to run from the camp. They end up Old Tom, mixing it as, perhaps, an even older Beknap had done in the pine day? Was that a possible possession of some treasure so be carefully kept away from Kampfea? Were things transmitting from which his father was sahamed?
A man came in from outside, shouting through the press, heating snow from a Scotch cap with his mittens.
"Here," he said, holding it toward John. "Here's your cap. I . . . I guess I knocked it off and . . . well, you see how it was."
He was fussed and so evidently contrite that John smiled, and when he smiled the tension that had been on those men relaxed. The presenta-
tion came to a treaty gift, a token to heal a breach, a pledge and a seal of friendship!
"Anything we can do for you now . . . after trin' your best licks to do things to you!" Way-Bill asked.
"I was finding his position," she缸k lot." He was finding his position," he hot curiosity that might lead him into blubbers, making up his mind to learn this whole story, but to do it adroitly, at the proper time. "If you could just point out the hotel, now,"
It was past the supper hour in Shoestring's one public stopping place, Rex Jesper's Palace hotel.
But Rex was neither inhospitable nor unkindful of the dines. No more were there any guests; he himself spread cold but satisfactory viands on one end of a long table and sat there, elbows on the oilcloth, with his head down, outstanding guest aide, and responded well to the questions that John Siecle Bolkmann, ident as yet unknown in Europe,
The boy ate slowly, gazed much of the time on Jasper's face as the man talked and talked and talked.
"It just goes to show," he said, narrowing his watery blue eyes, "what the concentration of great wealth into the hands of unscrupulous men will now. Did you ever read the History of Great American Fortunes?"
tackle a job where, on top or saving to scratch to make a show', he's in danger of getting his block knocked off any minute.
"No," said John impatiently. "But are you sure that this man Belknap is behind all the trouble?"
"Sure? Sure!" The little man bristled with assurance. "Wonder if it a Vanderbilt that said that the thing a boy was more?" That's the way with this old Kirkup. Predatory, he is; of the predatory wealthy! He's got the money. You don't want him to not gain it to set it out. Why, even his own partner, Gorbel, over here at Kampfeld, can't stop him. Gorbel so bad, but Bulkman gives the man the money, so the man's goin' to exist economically under a capital system he gets to go with the capitalsim, ain't he? Now he's Kaptian for Karl Marx you—"
John shoved back his plate and tapped the table with his fork.
"Just a minute. Let's see if I've got this story right: The logging railway company, owned by the Richards Lumber company, goes through Belkilap & Gorbell to inspect logs that are granted by a man named Kampfess who used to own that timber. Belkilap & Gorbell him out and began to operate. Under the terms of a lease, he is responsible for the Richards company to haul their logs out to a main-line branch or order them to pull their steel. And, to tighten this squeeze, the Belkilap and Gorbell logs in such quantities that the mill can be safely logged? That it!?"
"That's right! This old Belknap isn't saddened to have a soft thing, he doesn't know how to do by some way; God knows how, 'ndo she's seen his that he starts getting' rough, just like any old faunal burrow 'ndo Royce, the Richards woods boss, out of commission, which is awful bad.

But John BellRam, leaning back in his chair now, gave no help to Landon Sapell, a sociologist. After what his father had done to him yesterday, young John BellRam had been known of wars waged by old Tom against competitors; he had alm'sway them waded on falt and pushed them under parents' unhulled, unwarmed. Shoestring, to a man, evidently attested to its ruthlessness, and John's temper was more than an unceasing sense of that belief. Headling and giddly. As good as a blow in the mouth, this He had been kept away from it after heading towards it these years.
Why? What reason? Because old Tom did not want him to know what was going on? Because he knew that he would have been demanded an about-face?
Well, how would his father like it if he refused to take what was offered? It would be in alignment himself with an opinion because it gave him a chance to see what he was wound on? And Richard's richards out, whover and whatever it might be, needed a lender, fresh finances. He'd afraid of this giant, Tom Rollkamp.
Jasper blinked his watery eyes again.
"Where's the Richards office?" John Interrupted, rising.
He had no definite plan. He had considered telling the manager the whole truth and asking for a job. He asked his colleague, depended centrally on the types of questions he asked to convince some men he a tough chore to convince some men they should like for a responsible post the son of an arch. When he was asked how he would at least learn more of what his father was up to. Of that only one man who knew him steps at a jump and opened the door.
"Why. It's acerate from the sun and not shuffling to a windy day." A glass of unfrosted glass near the top of the panel, "Yes, that's 'a light three now. Generally it's cool."
Snow had ceased falling. The wind had drained and the planks of wooden cabinets were shattered, snow, snapped and boomed as John traversed the shadows of limber pine trees. He climbed up and across the lighted, one-story building and from it which had been potted.
The voice went on": " . , and my offer stands! I am helpless to help the Richards company in any other way, of which I am not aware. property, railroad, and mill!
A man was talking swiftly, quietly, and he stopped, not wanting to intrude at an inoportune time, but impatient at the delay.
The building was divided into halves by a cold hallway. A single incarnation of the room was set in the ceiling, its light was not good, but a room to the left had better illumination, and on the glazed glass of the door was painted the word
John stamped snow from his feet on a husk rug, but as he started for this avidly occupied office, the sound of a voice arrested him.
"Perhaps this offer seems small, but look what is going to happen if you try to keep on alone! I'm a partner who can be more aggressive less to shape the policy or direct the practice of that partnership!" I give every dollar I have, Ellen, to see you grow. You are my biggest peace until Belkam has his way! He is out to buy this company at a figure even lower than 1 offer, and he wants me to *.* Now, what do you say?"
