TUESDAY, MAY 24, 1932 FOUR YEARS NOT WASTED Final examination week at last is upon us. There is no harder work under the sun than several periods of straight hours of concentration, writing, worrying, and probably preparing. In a way, however, seniors are sorry that their last final exams are about to begin, for it is another sign that they are about to finish their courses at K.U. These last four years have been eventful and happy ones for them and full of experiences which will be stepping stones to the larger and more important experiences which they are sure to encounter in the next few years. The first two years didn't amount to much—it took them that long to "get on to the ropes." However, the junior and senior years have contributed much to their lives. As juniors they felt that in two more years they might know something and be able to face the world. Now, seniors wonder. The four years spent at college just give the student a small taste of the knowledge and interesting things this old world has to offer. The true student learns a few things, but the more he learns the more he realizes how little he actually knows. The old saying that the college graduate thinks he is going to set the world on fire is a lot of bunk. Most of us will be grateful if we can make a living without calling on ferd for help. But seniors have had a taste of life that should do them a great deal of good. They have worked up an appetite—sometimes a feeble one—to partake of the knowledge man has accumulated. Some had professors who have been inspirations to them. They have made friendships which shall always be cherished. Contact with brilliant young minds have been made. They have met young people with a purpose and an ideal in life. All these have contributed in gaking their college life successful. They feel that we are better fitted to adapt themselves to life, to make the best of every situation, and to progress no matter under what circumstances. But they are still sorry that our undergraduate days are about to end. NO THINKER HERE We agree with the New Yorker that Rodin's Thinker isn't thinking at all; the posture is wrong. We don't think in that position and we do spend many long hours thinking in front of a desk sitting upright on a chair. As the hours wane, we may lie down on a couch and gradually slip off to sleep, but we never sit like the Thinker. Of course, we can remember times when we got out of bed in the morning and sat on the edge and just couldn't make the rest of the grade. Maybe we looked like the Thinker then—our head fell like heavy iron—and we hope we didn't deceive people into thinking we were having ordered mental processes. so again we agree with the New Yorker that being a bookend is a very good job for Mr. Thinker. EINSTEIN ASSERTS The world must certainly be in a bad way, relatively speaking. Albert Einstein, probably the most aloof thinker in the world, and one who deals only with universal problems, has finally had to comment upon the tiny space of life on this planet, saying: "There is plenty of intelligence at the arms conference, but little evidence of character." Just a little matter or off balance relativity, to speak. But at that, it is hard to keep your head in the clouds when there is a sand-bur in your shoe. THE DAY APPROACHETH The day approachhe when all good things must come to an end. In this case reference is made to the leisure of college life, which has already reached its finis for most of the college population, immersed as it is in getting all of its back work up to date. But one happy family on the campus is still pursuing its old ways. The mumbling peg carriers that congregate about Green Hall have decided to continue their all-se semester career and were having a charming game of mumble-peg in front of their domicile this morning. Their songs forgotten, their school books but distant memories somewhere in the haze of far-off existence, the fans stood around with their mouths open as the gamesters stuck the knife at various angles in the ground. But the reckoning will come, we fear, for finals, we hear, are near (we're trying to practice up so that we can take legal positions when all of these boys fail their bar examinations), and we still insist that the day approacheth when all good things must come to an end. CURBING THE MACHINE Since the ascendency of the political machine to great power in the hectic days following the Civil War, various reforming elements have been striving mightily to crush it and all its evils. For the most part, they have not been successful. The machine is still with us, rich and powerful, although many of the evils have been surrendered in the face of the general popular awakening of the present century. While organization itself is an essential feature of government, its opportunities for malpractice can be curbed and its tremendous power weakened. The direct primary has placed an effective weapon in the hands of the people if they care to use it. The secret ballot has corrected many of the more flagrant abuses. The merit system, if extended more fully and enforced more carefully in the states and cities, would help to reduce the machine's financial resources. One of the most promising methods of combating the machine lies in the awakening of the independent voter, who is now roasted out of his inertia only in times of glaring abuses. Nominating by direct primary makes available a quick and sure means of ousting a machine which steps beyond its bounds, and application of this weapon will serve to keep the political leaders on their best behavior. Perhaps the greatest need of American government, however, is a concentration of authority, responsibility and leadership inside the government. In England the reigning party boss serves as prime minister, and the leader of the opposition has a seat in Parliament. With this consolidation of authority should go a drastic restriction in the practice of electing minor officials of every description. In general, only policy-determining officers should be chosen directly by the people. The remainder should be appointed. The effect of the Jacksonian shibboleths—elective office, short terms, rotation—" writes E. M. Sait, "has been to transfer power from the responsible short-lived officers of the formal government to the Pericles or Medici or Augustus who knows how to manipulate the puppets."

This will be from 9:30 to 12:30. RESERVE BOOKS DR. R. I. CANUTESON, Director Student Hospital. Now is the time of the semester when most students are anxiously doing their last minute crumming. About everyone is making hurried trips to the library and spending every available moment on the outside readings. Get out that old iron will and hold on! Think! In another week, no closing hours; you can go swimming whenever the idea strikes you; picture shows any time, tennis, golf, summer dances. What more can anyone ask? None except those who have experienced the tragedy know the feeling of those who have waited until the last week and in some cases the last day to study that last assignment and then find that some student has checked out the one and only book on reserve and taken it home for the day or evening. Put yourself in their place and have a heart! HOLD ON! With only one more week to hold out, quit howling about the examinations and think of the pleasures ahead. Few will flunk out. Neither can everyone make A's. The great major in between may as well settle down to the grind. It won't last long. If the seniors don't have jobs, that is not a life and death matter. None of them will starve, anyway. Enjoy life, examinations or not! "A Second Class Reunion."—Headline. That's a fine advertisement. Labels have been filed for less. "Bandits Waste a Month." Headline. The bandist who took the typewriter out of the Kansan news room last winter has probably wasted several months trying to operate it since them. FLOWERS---for the graduate.
