OUR DANDELION CAMPUS
A number of suggestions have been offered by the buildings and grounds committee, and by individuals, for beautifying the campus. Today we heard a new idea. A fraternity man, who by the way was not a pledge, offered the suggestion that each sorority and fraternity on the Hill select a definite number of persons who would make up one large group to rid the campus of dandelions. Perhaps he got his idea from seeing a number of men and women at such work on the sorority and fraternity yards. Whatever caused him to suggest this step, it is quite evident that he has forgotten his own pledge days.
We don't mind getting a few blisters from our work. It gives us a sort of superiority complex. You know, the idea of good work accomplished. We even like to show these blisters to our friends and to bring about them for a little, but even this pleasure is not worth the extreme discomfort caused by dandelion picking. We object, first, to the work itself; second, to the effects of the sun when its rays fall on us; and third, to the commonness of the labor.
But, at that, someone should forward a real solution for the dandelion problem.
TOM MOONEY
"Yanks to 60,000"—headline This dentistry must be a great racket.
Again California fails to recognize that Tom Mooney is innocent Ever since he was sent to prison in 1917, California governors have refused to give him a pardon.
Most of the officials and jurors who were connected with the conviction now say that they believe Mooney an innocent man. The star witnesses for the prosecution now admit that they perjured themselves when they testified that it was Mooney that planted the bomb during the preparedness day parade in San Francisco in 1917.
Still, notwithstanding the many appeals that have poured into their offices, the California governors have refused to give Money a pardon. He is, in their eyes, still guilty.
In the minds of thousands of people Tom Mooney is innocent. We admit that Mooney was, in his day, a radical, but being a radical is no reason for keeping a man in jail for his lifetime for a crime that he didn't commit.
REPEAL
Mr. Claude E. Robinson, of Columbia University, has prepared considerable data prior to the publishing of a book on the study of straw votes. The editors of The Literary Digest have co-operated with him and have given him material from their straw vote campaign on prohibition. In this vote, we find that Kansas is the only state to continue to vote dry, and that only by a narrow margin.
Mr. Robinson concludes that there are still 32 states today where a majority of the citizens
are opposed to prohibition. If this is true, the addition of but five more states would ensure the repeal of the amendment.
If we are to accept the present indications it will undoubtedly be but a short time before those five may be added. As thinking University students, what are we going to do about it?
a New York tabloid and radio performer, has been told to do no work for a month. Will judging a beauty contest be considered work or medicine?
There are only five more weekends before final examinations begin. The Relays are scheduled for one of them, and the Mother's Day activities for another.
It takes no super mathematical ability to find that there are really only three left; it does take super ability to find how the required amount of work can be finished in that length of time.
And spring weather is hardly an incentive to strenuous grinding. How University students can get their work completed in the allotted time in the face of these obstacles is a difficult problem, but let's hope that college has taught them how to budget time and work.
AS THE ECONOMIST SEES THE DEPRESSION
A solution for the depression acording to the economist's point o. view can be accomplished in either of two ways. These are the inflationist's doctrine and the doctrine of letting things work out alone. By the first method, there is the difficulty of adjusting commodity prices by raising them through the injection of more currency. There are two means by which this may be done: First, by the extension of credit, which Glass-Stegall bill and the Reconstruction Finance corporation plans aim to accomplish; and second, by the injection of more currency by means of the printing press. By this method, the amount of currency is increased and the prices are raised. It is not only desirable but necessary, however, to know exactly who is to operate the press.
The second plan embraces the idea that wages, rent, and interest eventually will come down. The economist gives two ways in which to adjust interest charges. They are a voluntary reorganization, and bankruptcy procedure. The Long-Bell Lumber company is attempting the first plan, and it is unnecessary to give an example of the second.
Concluding, the economist says that expenses and commodity prices must be brought into line before there can be any return to
prosperity, and also that if we
prosperity, and also that it would make some plan by which we would have no more war; we would be in a situation preventing a future depression.
The reception handed to Andy Kirk just goes to show that the myth about people preferring sweet music is just a lot of hot air.
They are present on every street corner; they dangle among the feet of pedestrians; they are over all the world, they come in spring and stay all summer. The yo yo business is contagious.
A REVIVED ART
The yo yoers with master degrees in the art are grade school children. Knowing themselves deluxe, they are lords over all others.
There does not seem to be any art to holding a string in the air and giving it a perpendicular tug frequently, but becoming an expert yoist is more than that. Hours of practice are required before one can become a professional.
As yet the University students seem to feel their sophistication too keenly to indulge in the art of yo yoing. In some respects we feel it would be profitable to take up this art, for that would offer one more excuse to cut class. The old gag about the weather being too nice has become a little worm.

RIFLE TEAM PICNIC:
SCATTERING THE PARADOX
So we recalled that before law entered Kansas, a certain double-action revolver was law, judge, jury, and in many cases, executioner. It was lovingly called "Judge Colt."
It would be absurd to suggest the merits of "Judge Colt" to our civilized and law abiding faculty, since they have conceived a far better weapon known as the shotgun. In the hands of the faculty, this shot gun scatters the quiz box and punctures the aura of intelligence surrounding it's bene-cary.
The picnic given by the Women's Rifle team for the Men's Rifle team is postponed until Sunday, May 1.
NELL, REAC, Captain.
However, it isn't advisable for every college editor to try landing a job in this manner. Not all free-thinking college editors are accorded the attention and publicity Mr. Harris received, although it is a simple matter to get "kicked out"
The student who never answers a question or recites in class; who never participates in student's informal discussions; who never has an opinion, but manages to make A on notebooks and announced quizzes, has long been a paradox to us. From the viewpoint of class work, such a student was a plain "dumb bunny." But from the viewpoint of notebook and examination grades, the paradox displayed characteristics of a Phi Beta Kappa.
FREDERICK F. WIRTH.
Only one suggestion which might lead to explanation of such a student is found. That suggestion appeared during shot gun tests in which the paradox became hopelessly confused and failed miserably.
So we investigated. And we found our paradox had access to what is known as a quiz box, in which were filed all the questions given by instructors for several years. If Professor Whozit ordered a quiz in "Influence of the Cellar Gang," the paradox ran to the quiz box, hunted out the questions Professor Whozit has asked on "Cellar Gangs" in past examinations, and proceeded to cram. Simple, isn't it? But what about the students who have no quiz boxes?
TAKEN AT HIS WORD
We're in favor of bigger, better shot guns more frequently employed.
Reed Harris, former editor of the Columbia Spectator, has received considerable notice for being "kicked out" of Columbia University. It is gratifying to see the many writers and speakers who defend anyone who criticizes any of our existing institutions today. And it is especially notable the number who have stood up for Mr. Harris.
Reed Harris is in a much better position today than he was as an obscure college editor. Where before he would have had to begin as a cub reporter—and been lucky to be able to start there—he now has undoubtedly had many offers to begin his newspaper career years ahead of schedule as a trusted editorial writer. But the big joke of the entire proceedings is a telegram sent to Harris inviting him to join the editorial staff of the Denver Post. Being acquainted with the policies of the Denver Post, we can imagine the front page story given to that telegram. Moreover, we are wondering what capacity an editorial writer would fill on the Denver Post.
of school. Most of the things a college editor says which are not exactly conventional are received with the remark, "He would like publicity." But Reed Harris seemed to impress all that he was in earnest and would rather see action taken along the lines he suggested than have his name on all the front pages in the country. But not all college editors are so fortunate as Mr. Harris.
