THE ASSASSINS AT WORK
An attempt was made last weekend to take the life of President Hoover, by wrecking his special train as it was passing through Ohio eastward to Washington. Sixty-seven spikes were removed from rails on a high curve of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad near Athens.
In such a time of strife as this is, such attempts are not uncommon. When a crisis presents itself there are always those who think that the way to get back on normal ground is to get rid of the governing officials.
If the trouble were to be curred by assassination we should all have to be killed. The problem is one in the solving of which we all have to aid—if we are willing to think about it seriously.
POLITICAL COURAGE
Well satisfied is the coach who discovers among his football players one man who can consistently evade the opposing tacklers. With good interference, such a player will get away on several long runs in a game.
A great many politicians today have a similar characteristic which often works to their personal advantage but not to the benefit of the nation. Most politicians cannot by "tackled" on any proposition. They will side-step the issue as fast as formidable "tacklers" appear.
And the American people at the same time have chosen to dodge every important issue, violently distracting any statesman who tends to be progressive or radical.
A football player when the opposition closes in on him soldm reverses himself entirely and starts toward his own goal line. This is a play that only a politician dares try. He may stamily defend his "goal" of prohibition or high tariffs or what-not for three quarters of the game and then non-challantly reverse his opinions when the opposition gets too near for comfort.
Three cows in Freeport, Mcwent on a three-day spree recently after finding a home-brew cache in the woods. This is another reason why repeal of the Voleste Act is necessary—or do you drink your milk spiked?
IN THE NEXT WORLD
"Take the next three chapters for next time. I doubt if the three chapters combined are over 125 pages."
Easy? Yes, if that were the only assignment one had to prepare, but just takes care of three of the fifteen hours.
Should the other classes suffer because a professor is unreasonable and tries to crowd a lot of hastily gathered knowledge, rather than a few concrete principles, into the minds of his students? A careful preparation of such an assignment would take from four to six hours, but apparently such a matter seems trivial to the instructor.
All we can do about this situation is to hope that professors who have a mania for long assignments are among those missive in the
THE MAN ON THE CORNER
You see them on every street corner, the men with the hungry look. When times were good, we called them loafers. Now times are hard. They are no longer the town's loafers, they are the unemployed.
The man on the corner has lost much of his former appearance. He used to look well fed, and his clothes, while they showed a few favraues of wear, were neat. The man was formerly a farmer who was waiting for his wife to come out of the store, or a laborer spending an off afternoon up town.
Now the man on the street,ner has changed. He has a woe,begins look on his face, his clothes are worn beyond repair, his shoes are broken and run down, and his face has taken on paper look with his hands in his pockets hunched against a convenient wall, and looks with dull eyes at the passing crowds.He is not waiting for his wife to come out of a store with purchases; he is waiting for a job so that he will have money for his wife to purchase with.
A slight smile flirts over his face as he greets an acquaintance. He won't starve, he knows, but potatoes, bread, and an occasional piece of cheap meat certainly is
is monotonous fare. Perhaps he is lucky, too; he had a day's work last week and the money paid for a new pair of shoes so that his little girl could go to school.
Toward evening he shuffles off home with his hands in his pockets and his head bowed. There's wood to be cut at home, and a dinner of bread and potatoes, and maybe meat, waiting.
We are planning to take an air photograph of the Kansas-Notre Dame game. The Notre Dame coach says that camera men were partly responsible for the loss against Pittsburgh.
WEAKLINGS WON'T BE NEEDED
Frank H. Gamel, a present day psychologist, believes that we are on the threshold of a social and economic construction migrier in its import than any which has occurred, since the invention of the steam engine. He says, however, that the rebuilding process will be a task of such gigantic magnitude that in it inefficient weaklings will have no place. "What are you going to do about it?" he asks the general public.
In suggesting just what he would do in this crisis, Mr. Gamei outlines a course of action that could be well adapted for use by every individual citizen.
"I would begin with the most thorough mental house-cleaning I had ever undertaken," says Mr. Gamel. "I would critically consider every habit I had formed, every method I had used, and every idea and standard that had ever guided my doings. I would not assume that anything in the former organization of my life had been wrong or ought to be discovered; but I would want to know whether or not I was right.
"I would make it my business to discover that particular life work for which I was best adapted and then I would prepare myself to do that work in the finest way possible."
If even a small percentage of the population were to adopt these reforms, America would be able, in a very short time, to step across
the threshold of that new social and economic structure. As soon as people begin to understand the significance of Tennyson's line,
"The old order changen, yielding place to new."
just that soon will they realize that what was good enough for Moses is not good enough for them. Progress has never been and cannot now be based on a laissez faire theory of action.
The man who is constantly trying to promote the prosperity-around - the - corner propaganda and the man who sings the "Depression Blues" are both in the same class. Neither is doing anything constructive for his fellow man. To quote from Mr. Gamel,
"We must take it for granted that

Slow-Pokes
--riddle and casual comment on the faecal shortcomings, for that would be much less impactful in all-will between the teachers and students. But much constructive criticism could be made by which the teacher can provide for which hey should be thankful.
One of our contemporary colleges has instituted a practice of grading the faculty. Students are the critics, and offer suggestions to the instructors as to possible improvements in their teaching methods.
"Oh wait a minute!" Always and invariably one hears it, whenever or wherever he may be going. There is always some person around who is just a few minutes late, anywhere from five to fifty. You see them come into the classroom just as the professor is sitting at the table and dinner table, just a self-course behind everyone else. Anywhere you may go there is usually one or more to make life miserable by continually being late. There are really two types of these people—those who have not an ita of ability in budgeting their time and those who just cannot hurry. The first type is almost as bad a pest as the second and both could drive into a situation where they lived around them very long.
The system used there hardly is one which we would advocate for A. & M. intact, but it contain an idea which can be developed into a practicable and useful procedure that is adopted with success. There is no question but that some medium is needed by which the students can have a voice—however small may it be—in structured instruction structures. We do not mean by that that they should be allowed to make vit-
Who said that murder wasn't some times justifiable?
Just when you are ready to start to a class or to a show or to anywhere, there comes that exasperating cry, "Oh, I just want to show you a minute!" And you know it will be five minutes or ten before they even start to put on their coat.
Twice a semester, or even often, the students could be given papers and campus envelopes in class and asked to present them in a manner of conducting classes, on any phase of the courses and its handling. These comments would be mailed or emailed by the instructor.
Where a single professor was made the brunt of many criticisms, the dean could judge that something was amiss in his method of teaching. Where criticisms were few and of varied nature, he could surmise their writings were blessed, or merely distilled the instructor.
The principal feature of the plan which we like is that it provides a little between the administration and the department, and thus the world by which deans now can tell how their staffs are performing. True they hear isolated complaints from departmental heads and are made by hot-tempered or self-mortified persons—Daily O'Colleague.

Professor Lynn Clark, short story writing instructor at the University of Southern California, injects a ray of hope into the young student's horrific adventure. "Argyos," and "Western Stories" are of real value to anyone designing to write short stories, opens Mr Clark, "because after you have insidiously read them for a few weeks you become convinced that it is insidious for you to do any womout and the question is the first step up the ladder."

The professor has got something there, all right. He might go farther and the worthwhile periodicals, which we believe might be counted on the fingers of anybody's right hand. That let us know that they are very hard to bag, raygos tag and four or five thousand worthless novels. Clark also points out, that despite the general intellectual level of these pulp publications "a great many of their editors allow no words to袭入 their plain words to appear must in them. Plain words 'daint must be printed d-"er".
