JUSTICE
Justice, swift and unerring, came to the bandit trio that attempted to raid the bank in Shawnee Mission last Wednesday. But the bandits who obtained loot from the Plaza Bank of Commerce in Kansas City have not been apprehended. The difference is simply the amount of effective precaution taken by the two banks.
The killing of George Birdwell in Oklahoma is an example. The president of the bank paid with his life for pushing the alarm button, within a few seconds there was an armed body of citizens blocking the exits and the raid claimed the lives of two of the three bandits as well. All this simply goes to show that what is needed in banks is a simple, easily reached system of summoning armed aid.
All the fancy networks of wires and telegraphic communication in a bank designed to prevent hold-ups isn't worth the price of construction unless it brings aid to the bank within a few seconds.
FIXING THE BLAME
Careful critics of student government at institutions of higher learning often declare that such government is tainted with underhanded politics, mud-slinging, and various other evils. They contend that it is seldom truly representative and often actually dishonest.
In the light of the total situation this criticism, undeniably based on the truth, is hardly fair. The college student has but one lamp by which his political feet are guided, and that is the torch handed him by those supposedly older and wiser than he. The collegiate politician did not invent the various tricks and devices which, it is claimed, are ruining his student government; he learned them by imitation. And the men after whom he patterned his political behavior are the very ones who are prominent in national affairs, and who have played leadings parts in the United States government.
ABOUT THAT TIME
Would it not seem, then, that any criticism should be of much broader scope than is common? Should not the blame be placed at the root of the evil?
Wake up and start studying! Aren't you here for an education? —at least in one sense of the word?
It's nearly Christmas now, and after a whopee celebration on New Year's Eve you've got to come back to dear old Alma Mater and take your education seriously with a big dose of finals.
It's when these finals hit you in the eye that you wonder who called college education liberal. Remember, you always pay the fiddler on the way out if you forget beforehand.
President Hoover advocated the reorganization of our present banking systems, in his address to congress recently. It would probably be wise; holdups in banks are becoming too common under the present system.

ROBBERIES DEPRESSION
The numerous bank robberies in this vicinity the last few days may just be a coincidence, but it appears that they are significant. Perhaps the bandits are believers in the R.F.C. and are convinced that all banks now have a plentiful supply of money in their vaults. It may be that they have found that times are so hard that it does not pay to rob individuals. Another thing one might conclude is that to plunder stores or homes, or to steal automobiles, is useless, in that the loot cannot be sold.
Looking at the situation from any angle, it appears that the bands are also "suffering" during these times of depression.
AT THE EDGE OF NORTH LAWRENCE
How cold and bleak it is! The trees have been stripped of their leaves and the branches look bare and naked. A crust of snow clings to the wrinkled bark, while the sun seems to lie perennially hidden behind a gray pallor of clouds. The wind whistles cuttingly about our legs and we are glad to seek the shelter of warm rooms.
Out where North Lawrence merges into the fields, the wind whips more sharply about their legs because they are thin and poorly protected. Thin clothing little furniture, little food, yes, it cold out at the edge of North Lawrence, too.
Woman has been usurping man's place in this world for some time now. They have even gone so far as to have some of their members elected governors of states and members of the House of Representatives of the United States.
WATCH OUT MEN
But the supreme injustice has been done. In a recent issue of the Topeka Daily Capital was a feature article dealing with, the record of Topeka's police department in the annual Kansas State Peace Officers' shooting contest held in this city. The first team which had practiced faithfully for the past two months in an effort to win the shoot landed in sixth place, while the second team took the fourth place honors. Of course, this was an insult to the first team. But it remained for the wives of the four members of the first team to adict insult to insult.
The wives showed their husbands the finer points of pistol shooting to the Capital said. One of the officers remarked that his wife scored a bull's eye, landed one shot in the eight circle and hit an electric light bulb. All of which makes us afraid to inquire about the shooting ability of the Women's Rifle team of the University.
HUNGER MARCHERS
As a display of lack of tact and total ineffectuality, the recent "communicative" hunger march was a howling success. Coming in groups from various sections of the country, the marchers were met at the outskirts of Washington and forced to wait there for hours. Later they were allowed to present a petition to vice-president Curtis asking for $50 for each unemployed person in the country and in addition, unemployment insurance. Evidently Mr. Curtis's feelings were hurt by the petition, for he threatened to eject the marchers.
Consequently the total result of the march was a subject for the first pages of our newspapers, and a headache for all concern. Possibly it will have a favorable effect in discouraging marchers in the future. If it does not, let's hope a little tact, courtesy and reasoning will be shown on both sides when the next march occurs.
Campus Opinion
From An Alumnus Editor Daily Kansan:
In glancing over an evening Wichita newspaper I noticed an article announcing the Jayhawker board for awarding the contracts for the printing and enclosure of books in its firms in spite of the fact that Kansas firms bid lower. According to the article a number of K.U. alumni are up in arms about it. However here is one alumnas that would like to present the other side of it by reason of being an alumnus. The writer and engraving situation in Kansas and the firms who now hold the contracts. It isn't an expter that can print such an undertaking as the Jayhawker, nor every engraver that can turn out the color plates and half touches that has been using, for do so require the best of equipment and experience.
The Campus Muse
Today there is a distinct trend towards buying things as cheaply as possible; to be downright Scotch to the point of mania; and to foster trade-at-home movements whether they are small or large. Of course, all products of the depression. However clear thinking people are coming to the realization that in spite of short selling, one gets just about one pay for I. am of the firm belief that the Jahyawker board were surprised this when they awarded the contracts.
In considering the placing of these contracts, the board took many things into consideration. All bidders for the work were given auditions, their ideas listened to, their sketches and art work appraised; their closeness to Lawrence anud their ability to co-operate were taken into account. And while a consideration of money was important it was also important that each contract placed the contracts where experience had taught them to expect another successful Jawhawker.
In my opinion, they exercised good judgment and should not be persecuted by those who would make political capital for themselves at the expense of jeopardizing the success of the Jay-hawker.
**Company**
The sun arose to bring a burning day,
Scattering mist and frightening the dew;
On our side the desert southland, far away,
A languid wind, fire-laden, ceaseless blew
Over the parching plain; a straggling crew
Of Spanish soldiers forced their feet to plod
Onward and onward, hoping for the rise
Of some rich city rising from the sed; partially with them rode a brown-frooked man of God.
—Posty Postlethwaite.
Breathless the afternoon came on with stifling heat;
caring heat;
Breathless the prairies shuddered and were still.
Only the far horizon, at the feet of the cloudiest skies trembled. Over he hat puffed hill.
And plain (venuphaled the proud Castilian will)
Breathless the army never ceased
To travel southward, nor the air to fill
With muttered curse and weary tramp of beast.
But there was seen no more the figure of the priest.
"To all nations Who shall believe—"
When night had come and left no sound to break
The stillness of the prairies, or relieve
The night's long hush of danger; 'lol awake,
Aware are they who to the southland make
 Their way; the savage watches through the night.
Only the man of God his rest may take,
Who lies in death beneath the quiet of heaven, and sleeps in peace before his God of right.
Ray Miller.
The Story of the Christmas Seal
The Story of the Christmas Seal
In the capital of Denmark, in 1904, there was a postal clerk named Einar Hoelboll. A few weeks before Christmas Einar began to notice, as postal clerks always do, that the mail was getting heavier and heavier. He thought that it might be through his hands and were cancelled. At the same time he was thinking about some poor children there in his city
A little later, a newspaper man here in America, Jacob Riis, received a letter from Europe with a bright little stamp on the back of it. He found that Einar had originated the idea of selling Christmas seals. They did not quit working as stamps did just as soon as they were used, but the money from those stamps was given to children to provide care for the children who had tuberculosis. All of this, Jacob Riis wrote about in a story for the Outlook Magazine.
Oneof the readers of this story was Emily Bissell, a red Cross worker in Wilmington, Delaware. She wanted to provide a tuberculosis pillion for some children there, and she drew a simple design of a holly wreath with the letters "P." She planned for the Philadelphia North American also saw the possibility of the idea, and with his help, the first sale of Christmas seals in America was successful. Three hundred thousand seals were sold by Christmas and the pavilion was built. In Kansas there are now tuberculosis seals. They sell Christmas seals at one penny each-five or six million of them each year. They pay for free clinics, for milk
funds, for fresh air camps, and in a large way make health a possibility for the poor as well as the rich.
In Kansas there are now tuberculosis associations in every city and county. She also said that Mrs. Ruth Schiff associations in every city and county. They sell Christmas gifts at one penny the New Jersey Historical society, at New York University in work in the museum at Arkansas year. They pay for free clinics, for milk

Hilda M. Koehler, '26, is reported by the alumni office as employed as librarian in the Teacher's College library, New York City. In a recent letter, Miss Koehler said that the library business, from the standpoint of volume at least, was affected very little by the depression.
She also said that Mrs. Ruth Schultstallkregar, '28, is employed by the New Jersey Historical society doing work in the museum at Newark.
Your House Bill Would Be Less If You Had More Men----
Here's a new plan to help you rush those new ones
Send the Daily Kansan to the High School Seniors You Expect to Go After for Next Fall.
Make a favorable impression on them and help sell them on coming to K. U. by getting them in the habit of reading about K. U. and the doings of your house, every day in the Kansan.
Start the paper any time between now and commencement.
Follow up the paper in a few weeks with a letter from the fraternity telling them the paper is sent with your compliments.
Then keep on sending the paper until commencement.
It's a dandy new plan that ought to make that rushing job easier.
And the cost will be low. The Kansan will make a special rate on group subscriptions for this purpose.
Ask at the Kansan business office for further details of the plan
