A DEPRESSION MEASURE
The state board of regents announced recently that it has trimmed nearly one and a half million dollars, $1,428,600 to be exact, from its budget for the five state schools under its control. The proposed budget, which must be approved by the legislature and the governor, calls for appropriations for the next biennium totaling $5,996,950, compared with $7,423,550 appropriated by the 1931 legislature.
During the past two years, however, the board has cut down on its expenditures and turned back to the state general fund $1,126,360. The proposed budget represents a further reduction of $300,-240 from the amount expended during the current period. In operating under the handicap of such a reduction the board has pared every item down to bare necessities. The personnel of faculties has been reduced, and all faculty members and employees have had their salaries reduced. In addition very little has been allotted for the repair of the buildings and equipment.
In making this reduction in expenses the board is doing its share to meet the state's financial condition, as well as the condition of the entire world today. It will be a task for the state educational institutions to continue in the same efficient way, but by cutting out a few of the less important services the service given the students will not be seriously impaired.
The Lame Duck session of Congress, from present observation will probably have to change its name. It is reported to be we wet enough for any duck to swim out even a lame one.
BASKETBALL OFF THE AIR
The home basketball games on the University will not be broadcast as has been the custom in the past. The reason for this is that to broadcast the games means a decrease in the attendance, and furthermore the new admission price is low enough to make it possible for anyone to attend.
There are, however, other factors to be taken into consideration. What about the alumni, the folks at home, or the more unfortunate students who find it impossible to attend the games? A great number of basketball fans take an interest in the games of the Jayhawkers, many have access' to a radio, but a great number also find it impossible to attend the games.
The University has the broadcasting facilities of KFKU, is able to use the frequency of WREN, and in the past has successfully been broadcasting basketball games to all the fans; must this year, a year of depression, be a stopping place in that custom? Will all the listeners and sport fans be deprived of hearing the play by play description of the cage game? And is the expected increase in gate receipts enough to warrant keeping the games off the air?
"To beer or not to beer," that is the question confronting the coming session of congress.
WHAT ABOUT THE "SUPERMAN"?
Press dispatches from London disclose the startling fact that scientists have discovered, at a London hospital, a new drug for which they make several remarkable claims. Chief among these are
1. It will prolong life, eliminate fear, breed courage and stimulate the intellectual and physical strength.
It will make sheep as strong as oxen and cats as fervorous as panthers; already sheep and cats treated with the drug have
3. It will add ten years to the average span of life and produce a race of supermen.
One of the experimenters in discussing this amazing discovery of science, said "We are afraid to reveal the physical and social effects."
Just let your imagination wander, if you will, as to the effects that this powerful drug will have upon the physical and social sides of life. A take for instance football. A couple of shots of this drug would put eleven supermen on the field who would be harder to hold than an equal number of lions.
On the economic side this new discovery would end depression. One man could take the place of ten. Then ten unemployed men could take the place of a steamshovel, or of a thirty horsepower engine. In this way everyone could go back to work, because there would be a demand for man power which would eliminate mechanical power.
This line of imagining could go on endlessly, but have you stopped to think what would happen if you should suddenly lose your strength and couldn't replenish it? And with "Squire's Super-Strength Syrup" (our proposal for the name of the drug) selling at $200 per bottle or thereabouts, we should prefer our present depression status.
AN OPPORTUNITY
with the opening of vocational guidance week on Monday women of the University will be afforded an unusual opportunity for individual conferences with one of the outstanding vocational leaders of the day, Miss Margaret Fifield. Miss Fifield comes here through the auspices of the W.S.G.A. and the Y.W.C.A. Her experience in the field of vocational guidance gives her an exceptionally sound foundation for work with young women who are going out into the professional and business worlds
Too often we find that University women are prone to look with disdain on any vocational guidance assistance offered them. Close observation has shown that the majority of these women have no definite conception of the real meaning or the real values of this assistance. When Miss Fifield comes to the University she will come with an abundance of facts concerning the possibilities open to women and with exceptional information as to the sources of work. Every woman student should make an effort to gain an appointment with Miss Fifield for a discussion of her own problems and should attend as many as possible of the three meetings to be held on the campus Monday and Tuesday.
Man with all his ingenuity has conquered nature, has progressed far in the field of science and has built railways, bridges and sky-scrapers of truly advanced architecture and engineering. Still, his pursuit of that most elusive quality, happiness, has been met with comparative failure. People are starving, living in smoky, dilapidated cities, in countries with corrupt governments. The industrial age has made machine slaves of thousands of men and women. In a land of plenty many American citizens are in want.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE HAPPY?
Happiness is usually believed to be the result of satisfying man's wants. These wants usually include fame, fortune, health, freedom of action and thought, assur-

TAU SIGMA:
Possibly the adoption of part or all of the above rules will make others and yourself more happy. At least, there's no harm in trying them.
auce of a benevolent after life, and the congenial relationship and respect of one's fellow man. Of all these desires, the last mentioned is probably the most important and the one which the individual man can do the most to satisfy. We have all experienced that unhappy feeling when we feel the enmity of our fellow man, and we have all sensed the warm glow of friendship and respect which makes the world a different place in which to live.
The art of getting along with other people is probably the most important and also the most neglected of all activities. Following a few fundamental rules would aid materially in gaining friends and, incidentally, happiness. Here they are: to have friends you must be one; don't be afraid to smile. Everyone longs for appreciation, give it to them. Be deeply and genuinely interested in people; whatever you dislike in another take care to correct in yourself; if you can't trustfully sustain a person's ego, don't tear it down; it is necessary and everyone resents its destruction. Show sincere respect for the things close to others. Respect their special interests.
Campus Opinion
A lobbyist is a representative of the people who is hired to tell the representatives of the people what to do.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Our personal opinion for the title of 'King of the Campus Pests' is the personality plus Sour Owl Sabiman who purge a likely looking prospect almost to the doors of the building in an endeavor to make a sale. Perhaps this is a commendable zeal on the part of this overgrowth that is just so real that is likely to prove downright embarrassing as well as annoying.
Now there are two types of Soui Owl salenm. First there is the forlorn looking figure who looks as though he would much rather be any other animal, but the other group of these entertaining () publications under arm. For this man we have only sympathy. But for the man who will not take 'No' for an answer we have the utmost dislike. This individual probably has a face that probably gone pretty big in Yates Center but on the campus it has the ring of having been heard before. This

--demon salesman never considers the fact that perhaps this is a panic year and as much as we would like to while away an hour with the 'Best of Kansas Humor' our pockets might not be able to stand the strain.
tomorrow noon on our regular 25c lunch will be served a delicious and healthful MYSTERY PUDDING.
First prize: Six 25c meals.
Second prize: Three 25c meals.

To those listing most accurately the ingredients of the pudding the following prices will be given:
Get entry blank from checker. Winners will be announced Monday on a card on dessert counter. In case of ties identical prizes will be given.
No employee may compete.
ONLY ONE PERSON KNOWS THE RECIPE.
So therefore in closing Mr. Personality Plus, please be content with the first meek refusal and spare us the last one making our OUR face red. Thank you.
Woodsmen Own Old Dollars
C. S.
At Noon—
Montrose, Colo.—(UIP) —The folks in this week of the woods don't exactly hoard their money, but they do know how to hang on to the dollars. A. W. Franden had a dollar dated 1755 and took it into the newspaper office, and as a result, had a story printed that day. William Clarence Williams dropped in with a 1795 dollar and another "buck" coined in 1802.

"I NEVER READ THE ADVERTISEMENTS"
You know this person. He thinks he is telling the truth. But quiz him and he will recite the make of his motor-car, his hat, his shirt, his suit, his shoes, his tooth-paste, his towels, ad infinitum ... with the accent on the "ad." In other words, they are all advertised products.
Why, he could no more escape the presence and the power of the printed word than he could evade eating or sleeping. The advertisements are a definite part of contemporary American life. Their messages are vital to daily existence. They have a definite association with the pocketbook, than which there is nothing more intimate and personal.
The important thing is not merely to "read the advertisements," but to read all of them. The one advertisement you "didn't see" may contain information you would have given a great deal to possess. Certainly, it is as important to you to know that Smiths are having a sale of sheets or shirts, as to read that Congress will hold a special session!
