COMBINES
The W.S.G.A. council has decided that there will be no combining in the coming election. Most of the organized houses have decided just as definitely that there must be some.
The council thinks that combining prevents fair voting. The organized houses see in it the only possibility of assuring success to the candidates they have selected as most desirable.
It is difficult to see just what precedent has been established for the council's stand. The men are allowed to form political parties. Every nation in the world is allowed to vote through parties. Perhaps the W.S.G.A. is a new experiment in democracy without organization.
There is, too, some question of the legality of the method used to check on combining. It smacks too closely of 'checking on individual ballots. At any rate the system is out of favor with a very large number of women on the Hill. Whether it promotes fair elections or not is an open question, but whether it prevents combining remains to be seen.
A WRONG IMPRESSION
Nowadays, when someone speaks of a good job, you don't think of a payable a lot, but of one that pays regularly.
The reason the Kansas legislature is cutting such enormous slices from the University budget may be found in another parallel case in the state of Washington. The president of that state's University gives the explanation of the drastic cuts in educational appropriations there as the students' trifling attitude towards education and their lack of seriousness. Can this be the case at Kansas?
If our state senators and members of the House of Representatives could visit our campus and obtain a thorough realistic picture of college life as it has been lived especially during the past week or two, they might have a far different concept. The newspapers and movies have played up the sentimental and vivid. They have made so much display of incidents suggesting corrupt morals and scandalous conduct that the public has come to believe that college is just a continuous round of dances, drinking bouts and necking parties. The students who really study, and, paradoxical as it may seem, they are greatly in the majority, are not glamorous enough to arouse the interest of the public.
If the state legislators could have watched the students during final week of last semester, if they could have lived with them, gone to class and studied with them, they would soon have discovered that college isn't any bed of roses. Underneath the facies and frivolous appearances that the students put up there is a deep and sincere appreciation of the opportunity that the University offers.
BEER IN KANSAS
states and the protection that the federal authorities will give the dry states against the liquor traffic from an adjoining wet neighbor, but it is hard to believe that Kansans will not enjoy their brew as will their Missouri friends.
How can anyone stop the flow of beer that is going to gush into Kansas from Missouri as soon as the beverage is legalized? We have heard much about the option of the
In the years before national prohibition, when Kansas was dry and Missouri wet, very little was done to stem the flow of liquor that poured into this state. As we see it, the job then might have been rather easy because of the comparatively slow means of transportation. But with motor cars and airplanes ready to whisk the stuff into our fair state, we can appreciate the task that is ahead.
The job of the police will be doubled because it is quite evident that the return of beer will not abolish the family bootlegger and his weekly visits. The law seems to have more than it can handle with the bootleggers already.
The younger generation will not be satisfied with the tamebrew that is proposed and will continue to "spike" its beer. So, it seems that the bootieger has nothing to worry about.
"The unemployed seem to be able to fly tobacco at least," said one man sarcastically, on seeing a group of men smoking.
"Tobacco dulls the appetite," sagely answered his companion.
BE NOT TOO GAY
If it weren't that we were so pessimistic, we would write a beautiful editorial extolling, traila, the glories of spring. But we are decidedly cynical that this sudden rash of sparking that has been irritating the lads and lassies atop this Hill. Having weathered many a beautiful spring, we shall drop a line of warning.
Ladies and gentlemen, do not let yourselves be carried away by the balmy breezes and blue skies! Though the skies are blue above, the earth is still damp—and dampness is responsible for coils.
This thing you think is love blooming in your heart will last but for a few weeks. When the annual Easter snow or cold snap comes around, you'll discover that it won't爱—only blue skies and too much sunshine—and that you wasted a lot of time away from your books while you were strolling under the moon.
But despite these words of warning, you will continue your sparking under Old Man Moon, who is chuckling up his sleeve at you for losing your heads over the annual arrival of spring.
Perlats women want to wear trenchy in they too can carry Roosevelt's cubed of property in their hip pocket.
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG ON A BICYCLE
With the arrival of Spring, the college world is confronted with the serious problem of choosing some new rash or fad by which it may properly fall into step with the tradition of buoyant youth.
Not so many months ago, we were in the throes of a yo-yo epidemic, and before that we took to roller skates and jelly-bean hats. We were afraid for a while that the jiy-saw craze would be established as the most inane game on the earth, but since it takes some intelligence, it has lost many possible followers.
We propose a "Back to the Bicycle" movement as the 1933 fad. Seriously speaking, it would be a good idea in spite of what you might think on first being confronted with it. The bicycle is a body-building machine; it is an economical means of transportation; and most important of all, it will give great entertainment to all interested.
Many of the Eastern schools have adopted the "Back to the Bicycle" slogan, and it is reported that the collegians are enthusiastic over the idea. Some Kansans may advance an objection to having to pump a bike up Fourteenth street hill. Granted, but think of what a whale of a time you'll have going down.
So we say, "Buy a Bike and be Buoyant."

EXIT ZANGARA
The date of execution for Giuseppe Zangara, self-styled "hater of kings," will be some time during the week of March 20, according to an order issued by Governor Dave Sholtz of Florida.
So the curtain will come down on another "American Tragedy." There is something pitiful about this befuddled little foreigner hurling maledictions at a system he does not understand, march stamely to his death for a cause he had not aided.
The death of a martyr came unasked to Anton Cermak. Undoubtedly, he wished to live. Probably even Zangara, beneath his bravado, would rather face his "stomach ache" than that bitter moment which will be his next week.
But in this puzzle which is life we fit in the pieces when we get our orders. Cermak and Zangara found their places in the pattern. They had no choice.

Confident, however, that theirs was the roarest of the three cars, they covered another hundred miles before stopping for the night in a small town. Since there was no public garage, they put the register under a desk, where the Inskeeper assured them it would be safe, and went to bed.

Without Warning
"I didn't," said Markham promptly.
"Why?"
The next morning, at breakfast, the inkeaker burst in upon them to ask if they had locked the car before leaving it.
"Which means?" Landis queried, after the landlord had gone.
"Because it's gone, ack and clean!"
Whada she love, ack and clean?
She's even the 'same' ever pened here before. You go on and finish eat 'a' an' I'll get to work on the
"The three men in the floating Wing?"
"Hardly, you'd say. Apart from the family respectable citizens, unless everybody has been lying to us, they are hours away from home," he said, since we left St. Joseph. Cunny is the man we haven't been able to lo-
"It may mean nothing more than an ordinary car theft."
Landis shook his head. "I'm afraid not. I'm thinking it means that somebody wants to leave us stranded."
"Oh, no, not Canby. You are forgetting that he has Betty and her father with him."
"I know. But, in spite of that, he is keeping tab on us, or trying to, to me, to make sure we are about us in the St. Joseph hotel. That looks good, have been toldooks, we do not, it is."
"Why should he follow us?"
Landis shrugged. "I'm no mind-
reader. There are times when I wish
I were—and this is one of them."
"Not that there are likely to be any results." Markham offered, "I've a bunch that we've lost the roadster for good and all."
"Then we are ditched—out of the fight!"
"Not by a d-d sight!" was the snappy denial. "We are going to see this thing through now if it takes all summer! If we don't learn from the rain, we'll get wet in palm and rile it until we reach some place where I can buy another."
"But see here, Wally-I can't let you do. anything like that! It is stands, I'm owing you the price of a car right now."
"bailing of the sort. You may be 'nothing this joint your funerum, but if I don't stop short of the cemetery gate, at least. Here comes a boy. Maybe he'll be here."
The boy came running up to the porch, fairly bursting with his news. "I tered." "It's in a garage on our farm!" It sat, eyes twitching, right away, 'ut he thought he heard something 'go' squoost" in the night. "It is in a deep place where it tumbled
Romeo is young. How old is it?
"It aln't far. Cme on and I'll show you."
"Good boy," said Martham. "The reward is yours. How far is it?"
“Δ clean job,” Markham grunted morosely.
"What do you think?" Landis asked, when they had walked a full half mile in silence.
"Dellerbier, of course. The tire tracks in the road showed plainly enough that the car had been stopped, and the driver was on a way around to head it for the ditch."
"But who did it?"
"I'd be willing to pay another reward to find that cut. There's some substance there," he blind us; something we're not to be allowed to moss it. If a wrecked car was stolen, we could get him.
Markham arranged to have the car salvaged and hold subject to his order, but the officer was called along they boarded it. Markham consulted a time-card folder and passed it to the officer.
"Colly, at two fifty a third afternoon," he said. "It's a junction point, and if we can't find what we want, we can get there to Denver. Colly's our drow-off."
Accordingly they debarked at Colby, where Markham found he was able to replace the wrecked roader with a wheelchair without loss of time, they reached Limon, the point at which the two main auto roads, coincident west of Colby, split—one leading southwest to Denver and the other northwest to Denver.
At the few steps they had made
at of Colby he got no news of the
Fleetwrights and did not look
Limon the lost trail reappeared. The Fleetwing had passed through some
swampy areas before they went
ver; and Candy's limousine had taken
the same route three or four hours
Markham looked at his watch. "Both parties are probably stopping over night in Denver. If we push along we can drive by midnight. What do you say?"
"I'm with you. I can spell you at the wheel when you are tired."
It was well past midnight when the lights of Denver came in sight. Reaching the city, Markham turned in to, and the first all-night garner he came to, and lifted his fist and ducked to put at the nearest hotel, and turned in at once.
The attempt to trace three newcomers—or at most skim—in a city the size of Denver is much like looking for a needle in a hysterical; and though they went short on sleep and were up early the next morning, eight e^clock found an allt drawing from one loud to another, drawing banks and losing time.
"There is simply no end to this, 'Wally.' Lands protested. 'We might be a part of the war,' hotels said, hotels as there are here. Our best chance is the open road. We know where Candy is headed for. If we can't find her, we'll be Fleet-wing in the same gallery."
"You didn't best me to it by more than half a minute." Markham returned, spreading the well-read map on his knees. "Here's the near-pointed point on our back." "Well get the grips and tie our neck in, as you say," he said.
For a short run over the highway the traill refused to reveal itself. But U.S. Air Force Capt. Jeffrey whose helmet told he had helped change an inner tube on a Fliestwight Eight between six and seven oclock in the morning. Three men in the car, and he also recalled that the one he had helped with the tie had said they were from Texas.
Questioned, he said he had no recollection of seeing a Norbie limosome, but that it might easily have gone by without his noticing it.
Markham glanced at the clock on the dash as he fung the new roadster at the mountain grades.
"Three hours ahead of us; we are gaining on them, in spite of the Denver delay. Where do you suppose this chase is going to wind up, Owen?"
"No; but there was a perfectly good roadster wrecked back there in Kansas." Markham put in pointedly.
"I'm not so much concerned about the love," he said. "I must be well confess it, and I won't fight again. There haven't been any bank blasts this side of the Missouri."
"Yes, but nothing in the wide world to connect the wrecking with these men we have been tank burglaries, if they are, they are, pass up all the chances in six or seven hundred miles and go streaking off up here in these mounts."
"Just so," said Markham with a short laugh. "It isn't decent. But there is something else I'd like to and the reasons are of Candy and the Lawsuits?"
This question was answered late in the afternoon, as they were running down the valley of the Pannick toward Copah—still gaiting upon the Fleeswing, as they learned by inquiry that the water tank station on the Pacific Southwestern that they first heard of the Nordyke limestone. It was ahead of them; had apparently been ahead all day. They had stopped at a filling station to get gas, and to ask about washing, and the gas man grimmed.
"You'll have to step on it some to catch up with them fellows in the hotel." He paused. They pulled here couple hours ago and they'd made it from Denver since mornin'. Then, "What's the matter with that bunch?" Everbody seems to be talking.
"Who else, besides us?" Markham wanted to know.
"Three folks in a Nordkike limousine right hand handome a young fellow in a suit with an earring. Girl pretty enough to wake the dead settin' in with him, and an old man hard
"About how long ago was this?"
"I disremember; about an hour,
reckon."
Markham was putting the gears in low for the start when Landis halted him to ask another question of the gas man.
"Did the limousine driver ask about anybody else?"
The man scratched his head as if trying to remember. Suddenly he looked up with the wide-mouthed grin again in place. "Why, yes—come to think. Want to know if anybody else had been along askin' about the camera," he said, but he couldn't tell me what kind of a car they'd be drilled in.
It was Landis who spoke first when the two were once more on their way.
"Wally, how is Bert Canby mixed up in this filing?" he demanded, his connection with these fellas? And why is he keeping tab on us?"
"Why ask me?" Markham shirked.
"Because I've had a feeling all alone.
"If you put it on the ground of knowledge, I don't. Owen; I'm just as much befuddled as you are. I can say that honestly."
"You are trying to shield somebody, Wally. Who is it?"
"You needn't catalogue the twists and turns. If you know anything more than you've told me, you ought to turn it loose, Walty."
"Walt," said Markham shortly; then, "as I say, I'm just as much in the dark as you are. But, like the other girls, I am not in the night when you show me what your black box can do, you lose it, and the circumstantial evidence indicates that we are now in a war." Next we hear of a bank wreck that made no noise; then we get on the vile hill to watch the village and run into two more of the noise wrecks. Further along, we discover that Cunby is following us, or the Leaviston bunch or both. Next
"I don't know anything--more's the platy; and that's the stubborn truth. But I'm going to know, before we quit and call it a day."
It was while they were sliding silently toward the door, she passed a large closed car stopmed on way one of the tangents, as if its occupants had halted to view the sun.
By this time the road had left the narrow valley of the Paninik. Knowing from the itinerary in the route, you would take a car on the descent to the Red desert edge mining town of Copah, and hoping to be able to have daylight for the negotiation with the rangers to spare the car on the way up. Nevertheless, it was coming on dusk when they found themselves entering upon the river at the point of copahs of Copah wishing in the distance.
"Sightseers," said Markham; and then, suddenly, "Say, Owen; wasn't that the Nordic-kei 'car'?"
