TUESDAY, APRIL 19. 1932 HILL POLITICS With one more day before the final charge Thursday morning, and with candidates and platforms brought out into the firing range, the Hill political battle will rise from now on until the final debacle Thursday night. This year the struggle will probably be confined to machine gunning and hand-to-hand fighting with political sheets for various reasons. The long range guns of off-the-Hill posters were put out of commission so thoroughly by enemy snipers on both sides last year and purchase of more has been so seriously curtailed by the financial situation this year, that pot shots and explosions on telephone pods will probably be lacking in this campaign. Bill posting regulations also prevail over this struggle to curb the use of such weapons. Depth bombs in the shape of advertisements in the Kansan and windshield sticker hand grenades add to the mace that is raiding on the campus. For sheer assinity, this, more than other wars, is supreme. For instance: One party says "Back to Action." What action has student government ever done or been able to do at the University? The other says "Beat the Machine" when it is just as big a machine. Still, it is said that student government is stronger at Kansas than almost any other school in the country. But what per cent of the students know or care anything about politics, and how many bills passed by any student council would have been supported by the entire student body? In the elections, one side gets votes by united support of all of the organized houses combined in it and non-fraternity votes by a skillful, fraternity-trained ballyhoo, as adept as any salesmanship campaign or feverish reform movement. The strict non-fraternity group, represented at its open meetings by from twenty to thirty men, draws votes to the coalition of which it is a member by an eagle scream o "equal representation." And to top the whole mess, one side is now regarded as being in cahoots with the Administration and the other rages at this usurpation of the rights of the student body. The most intelligent phenomenon displayed on the part of each party is the fact that the real leader of each group remains in comparative obscurity while figureheads do the talking and make the statements. It is hard to be sure of this last arbitrary statement, but incidents which have occurred seem to indicate it to be a fact. To come to the real purpose of a student governing body—what does it do? It provides a chance for a minority of the students to stand out in the activity spotlight. This, however, is good for two reasons. In the first place, it provides a certain valuable training for the person actually in the spot or semi-spotlight of council or class office position. In the second place, it furnishes a place in college for the majority of the student body to discover that most politicians in office are of no more real value than OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Notices due at Uchaneler's office at 11:30 a.m. on regular publication days and 11:30 n.m.

On with the dance. BLACK LIGHT A few years ago most people said that science could never invent such a thing as black light. Such a thing as black light sounded silly to begin with, and if it was light how could it be black, people wanted to know? During the last few years much progress has been made in this field of black light and every day we are finding new uses for it. These new discoveries in black light along with the new photoelectric cell which acts mechanically when it sees the black light, opens many new fields. Alarm systems can be used as burglar protection which will give the A few months ago at a photographers' convention all of the room lights were turned out and the room was flooded with black light. Although no one there could see anything, the camera was very successful in getting a clear picture of all those present. A new film had been found which was sensitive to this new kind of light. Most people have the impression that heat cannot be seen. Yet the other day an electric iron was heated and placed in front of a camera in a room where the operators could see nothing and the emulsion on the film got the picture of the iron. So sensitive is this new emulsion to this black light that it must be packed in ice to keep it. All of this only goe, to prove that there is still opportunity for the pioneer, and the college students of today can still be the pioneers of tomorrow. alarm and get pictures of the procedures while the criminal knows nothing about it. It can be used to see into the inside of metals which will enable machinery to be built almost without flaws. normal times. In the process of reduction many are idle and many are suffering from want. So far, the leaders see no way to avert this suffering. Can anything be done about the instructor who waits until the last part of the semester to assign enough outside reading and research reports to last any normal student an entire term? They have been frank to cite the cause of the present world state and they have been honest enough to admit that they see no immediate relief in sight. From their opinions may be gleaned the idea that those who are comfortably situated are going to be most economical until adjustment is complete. EXPLANATION AND WARNING The unemployment situation in Kansas has occupied the minds of the foremost authorities on economics in the state for the past six months. As a result, much work that would be done this summer is being done now to create jobs for workers in the state and an upward trend soon, many of those working will be out of jobs this summer. The economists knew what would happen when work was moved up to care for unemployed. They all know there is no specific plan to be put in use to relieve the unemployed. They have realized during all the investigations which were made and are now in progress that the investigations are merely soothing syrup offered sick humanity.

But the financial side of the book store is not mentioned. I am not a student bookstore employee. I engineer one job that seems to be lacking and that is a provision for the financial backing. It is true that book stores of similar nature state colleges, but these were not established in the face of a financial depression.
