BORROWED ENJOYMENT
Why buy something when it is so easy to borrow it. That seems to be the general student opinion with regard to the Memorial Union membership cards.
A check of the patrons of any mid-week varsity would probably reveal that more than half of them had been admitted with borrowed cards. It would seem that following the requirement that women present cards that the sale of membership certificates would rise or that the number of women attending the dances fall, but neither has happened. Fewer cards were sold this semester than ever before but the number attending the dances is no smaller.
The requirement that University women present cards for admittance has given rise to a new racket, that of the ticket-renting industry. A ticket costs a dollar, and the amount to be derived from renting it each week amounts to about $1.50. The original investor has made a profit of fifty cents and has the use of the Union card for everything but the dances.
Since John (Peppel) Martin has followed in the footsteps of Jin Bausheu and taken up radio crowning, we suggest that Babe Ruth, Max Schnellmeth, Alex Fitzgerald and Max Madison Square Garden for a nice game of ring-ing the-rosely.
A NEW CLINIC
There is no doubt that the would-be assassin of President-elect Roosevelt is psychopathic. His statements throughout the trial proceedings have given proof of that fact. The pity of the thing is that his aberrations were not diagnosed and treated long before they led him to violence.
If a man is sick in body, he goes to a doctor, but if he is sick in mind, there is no place for him to turn. Psychological not yet have a generally recognized science. Society has not admitted the need for mental treatment as well as physical.
On the campus of the University, we have had cases of minds out of step, some of which have been fatal to their possessors. Our student hospital administers efficient physical treatment, but as yet little has been done for the relief of mental sufferings. It remains to be seen what great shock will be required to awaken sentiment strong enough to secure the establishment of a mental clinic for students.
Raymond H. Wheeler, professor of psychology, thus voices his opinion on the subject:
"The establishment of a mental clinic under the direction of a competent psychiatrist would be extremely valuable to the students of the University."
THAT BOOING QUESTION AGAIN
T. L.K., writing in the Concordia Blade-Empire, says that in his opinion Dr. Allen has "made a bid for unpopularity," by starting his campaign against booing at Big Six basketball games; and that the move is destined to turn away from the gates many cash customers who believe that along with their admission price goes the right to
fill the gymnasium with vocal rostests at any fancied wrong to he home town boys."
T. L.K. might be right. It is quite possible that a few confirmed prize fight fans would not enjoy a basketball game if they were refused the pleasure of hiding the players and the referee, and were forced to derive their entertainment merely from the game itself. And although these booers often make themselves conspicuous, and unpleasant, it is true that they pay good money into the athletic treasury and help keep the department on its feet financially.
But the campaign was launched not merely as a measure for promoting better sportmanship at Big Six basketball contests, but to save players and officials from the merciless razing to which they have been subjected several times this year. When booing is carried to such an extent that players become rattled and cannot do their best; and when it causes officials to become so muddled that they cannot see straight, then it is time to take steps against it even if it does cost the athletic treasure the financial support of a few hecklers. And that fact has been recognized.
WHY MACHINE POLITICS SUCCEEDS
Political scientists, magazine writers, and cartoonists have long deplored the existence of machine politics in the large cities, blaming this monster for each of the many faults of government and politics in operation. They have pictured the machine politician as a shrew, overbearing and essentially dishonest character whose sole purpose is to defeat the will of the people, whatever that may be.
The fact is that the machine politician is stricty a product of his environment. He very naturally takes advantage of opportunities that are presented to him. The fault is not if his if they are opportunities for graft and corruption. If the voters could become sufficiently interested in government to make their voice heard as it was intended they should be heard, machine politics would disappear with astonishing suddenness. This
indifferent attitude of the people is basically responsible for poor government and dishonest politics.
No better example of the existence of this spirit of irresponsibility in government can be found than the action of three hundred legally-qualified voters in Omaha who last week signed a petition endorsing the would-be assassin of Franklin D. Roosevelt for mayor. Obviously these voters were not familiar with the situation. They had no idea who Guissepe Zangara was. They certainly could not know whether or not he was qualified to serve as may of Omaha. Yet they were willing to give their personal endorsement to his candidacy without even trying to find out anything about him.
On just such a spirit of indifference are political machines built.

Harvey gazed at the gray walls of he fall and nodded as though having enched a startling conclusion.
CHAPTER XI
"Well, what do you know about that? I haven't asked you anything, have I?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"Shhh! Sure you do."
"Listen to me, Son: answer me one question."
"I believe our next move, John, is to have a talky-talk with Mister Maxvell Vernon.
Vernon's eyes closed. He pulled himself together with a visible effort. "No."
"Did you kill Pat Thayer?"
"Then I think you better talk to me plain and honest. Of course, if you did kill him, the best thing you can do is not mouth shunt. What say you?"
"Nothing. I'm not going to talk."
"I didn't row with anybody."
Vernon was stonly silent.
"Good Lord! Has it taken you all this time to think of that?"
"Duh-huh. My brain was never strong on sneezed."
Max was trembling. Boykish, he was strangling to keep actual tears from his eyes. "You're trying to trap me," she said. "I can't say anything. Not安然 at all!"
"No! Not even Pat Thaver?"
"That's up to you. Son, But suppose I don't know. They've paired between you and Thayer in the fraternity house day before yesterday somewhere about oneclock in the morning."
'Aw, Son! You know dog-gone good and well you went to Pat Thyler's room. Now why don't ygt tell us what happened?'
Jim shoo his big head. "I hate to see you fighting me, Son, when I'm trying to help—"
"Like l--l you are! You're trying to mix me up in fad Thayer's murder."
"I'm trying to get the truth. Does that mix you up?"

Back into the brilliance of the war den's office, and thence down the dimly lighted corridor on which were the rooms used for those prisoners who had been held in the ordinary cells than the ordinary cells. The turkey admitted them to a room identical with the ones occupied by Tony Peyton and Larry Welch. They stood in the doorway and Hanney regarded them through sleep, huffed clench.
"Things been happening pretty fast, aln't they, Son?"
Vernon was seated on his cot. He had dotted coat and tie, and his shirt was open at chest that he wore a pair of black pants rounded off with his chubby face wore an expression of belligerence. His whole manner—even before a word was spoken—was
Jim seated himself and smiled loudly at the prisoner. He felt rather sorry for the boy, fat, good-natured, easy-going... and now suddenly enmoraled tragically who he couldn't understand. Jim's voice came soothingly.
"Sensible enough. Let's go."
Vernon looked up sharply. "What things?"
"Like H—I You Are! You're Try-
ing to Mix Me Up in Pat Thayer's
Murder."
him over something else."
"As you say, Vernon. But when this other thing happened—you getting sore—what then?"
"Stauling your girl, for instance"? Max looked up sharply, and became curious. "And really rather not talk about the angle of it, Mr. Haneway," he said gently.
"I started thinking—for the first time, I mean to suspect that it wasn't all just me. Had been nice to me so long as I had money; but the minute I went back he lost interest in me and started growing up faster. And I couldn't make me sore. And it struck me that it was queer he always won you, because he stupid enough, but I waked up all at once."
"And you go about as mad as you were wore in your life. You went to Chayer's room in the fraternity house—"
"I did not! I told you before I never went near his room."
"So you did. I thought maybe you'd remembered that you were mistaken. Anyway, you were in the house at the same time he was. After awhile you came over to her and bumble under your arm, didn't you? What was in that bundle, Vernon?"
"Sure." Reagan started to rise, but Max Vernon stopped him.
"A—n suit of clothes. The one I said I changed, I was taking it to the Marland Tailoring company for alteration and cleaning."
Max was nervous; his polly hands were twisted together and his eyes rose helplessly around the little room.
"You didn't take them?"
"N-n-no."
"Good. Now we're clearing up parts of the mystery." Jim turned to Heather. "I'll just inform John. John, just 'phone that company and make sure they have the suit, will."
The boy's eyes were round with fear and heals of perspiration stood out on his forehead.
"Never mind," he said heartily. "The clothes are not there."
"Where are they?"
"I-I don't know, I guess I—I— lost them."
"You sure are an unfriendly young man," murmured Jim. "Losing a good suit of clothes that way. Well, anyway. You don't have anything on up to Steel City, didn't you?"
Vernon hesitated. Then he nodded "Yes."
Max's cheeks were pasty. "Yes.
Alone."
"I had it. . . . I got it from Thayer. He owed it to me."
"I have plenty of money."
"But you just said a minute age that Thayer laid off because you were broke. How could you be broke and also have plenty of money?"
"And when you got them yu traded in your car on a new one, didn't you? And paid the difference of twelve dollars for cash. Where did you get the money?"
"He gave it to me. He owed it."
"When did he give it to you, Veron? When you went to his room?"
"I see," Jim bumed approval. "I saw you with her, and Thursey were really friends, after all. He honoured you the two humbler dollars just like it was nothing."
"I told you I didn't go to his room."
"I see. I mess he sent me to you by phone.",
"And they wouldn't mind that, though. But there is one thing I want to know: How did it happen that there wasn't any floor rug in the trader when you got to Steel City."
Again that hunted, haunted light in Max's eyes.
"I don't know anything about any floor rug."
"Wasn't there one in your old car?"
"I don't know."
"Gee! You sure are a forgiving guy. Now what about that knife Mr. Reagan showed you an hour or so ago? That is yours, isn't it?"
"Where did you get it?"
"In Sicily. I've traveled a lot and I've always collected queer weapons." "Did you have it in your hand at all day before yesterday?"
"You knew it wasn't on your wall
when you always but it didn't go?"
"I know that's what Mr. Reagan said."
"Do you know it is the very knife with which Thayer was killed?"
"No! How was I to notice that one of the things was gone? And I didn't kill Pt Tather, Mr. Hanavoy, I swept I didn't."
Harvey spoke softly, "Admitting that, Vernon: Why did you get mixed up in the robbery of the Martian National bank?"
Max stood rigid for a moment, then sank down on the cot. He buried his face in his hands. "I didn't have any answers." He turned to the other man. Mr. Hanvey, who indeed I hadn't.
