JUST TAKING TURNS
Even the worm has its turning. Of course, that reference is scarely apt, but at least the administration has put a "fast one" over on the student body this time, and, according to a regular procedure, it is the students who think they are getting away with anything and everything in general.
Everyone has heard of the wise one who reports, "Why. I didn't even crack a book until midsemester, and then did I ever work?" This time the administration put a trick over on the wise ones, because it really is not midsemester, regardless of the fact that the professors are being so unkind to act as if it were and are giving tests of all varieties.
Evidently this Easter vacation is to be lard on the students because the administration did not feel that they would be capable of taking midsemesters afterward. At least, that seems the only obvious explanation for the fact that the examinations are being given at the end of seven weeks instead of nine as usual.
GOAT FOOD
That, in a way, is taking an unfair advantage. How can a student be expected to have any great knowledge at the end of so short a time? Gathering any information by the end of the full period is bad enough. Since the faculty are to give everyone such a huge send off, however, the students should be able to enjoy the vacation to the utmost with no threat of coming tests. When that is borne in mind who cares if he has been slightly misled in the matter of midesemesters?
Since 1902 when Carroll D. Wright reported to President Roosevelt on the anthracite coal strike, nine separate Senatorial committees and eight separate House committees have investigated employer-miner relations in the coal industry. Besides these examinations, in 1919 President Wilson appointed the Bituminous Coal Commission; again in 1921 he had the anthracite coal industry investigated, and in 1923 Mayor Hylan of New York ordered an investigation of the miners of bituminous coal.
What about it?
Today in Pineville, Kentucky miners are starving and charitable persons are not permitted to distribute free food. In many mining communities, people are so undernourished and weak they can't sit erect in their seats.
Do government officials know about mining conditions? If they don't, then their investigations have been worthless.
The result of the fact-finding committees? Between five and six million words printed on eleven thousand pages—nothing more.
If the miners were goats and could gain sustenance from paper and ink, fact-finding reports might be of aid to them. But so far the miners have been only goats of us. We think our statesmen spend a little too much time investigating and not enough time in acting.
AINT IT GRAND?
"Say, Feller! How do you like goin' to school?!" . . . Not so good. I can't sleep in this 8:30 unless the sun's shining in my eyes. . . Well, I'll be banged if I didn't think it was midnight. . . Yeah. That call-boy down at our house was carrying a flashlight this morning. . . Say, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Guess I'll get out the old coal oil灯entern to-morrow morning. . . .
—and so on far into the late morning classes the wier cracking continued to pour forth from those brave individuals who struggled up the Hill in the dark for their 8:30 s. But of course, we expected some sort of a blizzard—this is the first day of Spring.
It is a critical time in radio land. We are about to witness a change so drastic in its effect that radio listeners all over the world will be affected by it. Particularly will the measure affect the programs broadcast in the United States. Yes, Brinkley is about to be driven off the air. Kansas has already revoked his operating license and Texas is seeking a revocation against his Texas station.
FAREWELL BRINKLEY!
We bid him adieu—a sad adieu—for in spite of the undeniable fact that his programs monopolized the air, his station has been dependable; dependable in the sense of being ever-present. No
true radio jam was ever forced to go without a broadcast, for through thick and thin, from Hoochie's studio. The highest jazz synapochion, the Brinkley Milford station was "there with the goods."
And so we say good-bye, sadly.
No more Brinkley broadcasts!
And though Milford goes on it has lost its main attraction, that is the man himself. We are led to wonder what change in program will the new administration of the station bring about.
DEPRESSION EASTER
The Easter snow arrived a week early, so chances are that the fashion parade may get a chance to march to church next Sunday. As usual, the newspapers and style magazines are full of fashion hints and notes or what will be worn, if the pocke book will hold out.
The most extreme forecast of a new style is concerned with eyebrows. This season they are to be tinted bronze for daytime use, "to match the sun," and gold and silver for evening wear. The length is to range from a half to one inch. We are sure this will gain the full co-operation of the young woman of the Middle West.
Another fashion note says that "The appling of 1932 will see cotton worn for formal evening affairs; approves transparent velvet for sports and silks for office wives". This is probably a depression plan to wear out the old dresses at the office and have the new office clothes for evening wear. Quite a practical plan but not a new one!
Our newspapers have been full of the "hoarded money" theory as an attempt to explain the depression. They have even gone farther and openly criticized public officials and institutions in their relation to the expenditure of public money.
Earrings and necklaces, each suspending a tiny crystal gazing ball, are a recent style feature. These are to give the spiritualists something to do while waiting for a street car or calling long distance.
But for us who have decided that last year's coat will do and the hat that was new three years ago is just the thing, such suggestions as to "what the well dressed women will wear" is just another wild rumor running around.
FALSE PUBLICITY
But Dr. Cllyde Miller of the University of Pennsylvania has taken a slap back at the newspapers themselves in an interview published in the New York Times, in which he claims that wrong pub-
licitly spread by the American newspapers is the real cause of the depression. Dr. Miller cites a number of cases illustrating his theory. He has pointed out, for instance, that in 1928 Herbert Hoover was regarded as an engineer of rare competency, a great humanitarian, in short a superman who was to lead America and the world to the highest levels of prosperity. Today, Dr. Miller goes on to say. Hoover is no longer idolized, oviently entirely to the false publicity given his actions, proclamations and honest attempts to better the country. The same wrong publicity, he says, has been given all over the government to the public schools. Dr. Miller blames the American newspaper for the false conception of conditions which prevales in the minds of the American people. And he further argues that because of the penetration of these ideas, the mass of people has so conducted its affairs as to bring on the depression.
Whether or not Dr. Miller's theory is sound, it carries renewed implications of the power of the press. If he is right in his assumption that the American newspaper has brought on the depression, isn't it as logical to suppose that it is capable of bringing the country to prosperity through correct and favorable publicity?
MANCHURIA AGAIN
Manchuria, pushed out of the spotlight for several months by the more dramatic events at Shanghai, is once more figuring in the headlines. What news has trickled through the censors, is brief and unspectacular, but considerable significance lies behind it.
This news tells of a Russian army of 100,000 men, with 500 modern airplanes, being concentrated in and near the Soviet's great Pacific port, Vladivostok; of huge quantities of goods and munitions being shipped to eastern Siberia; of double tracks being laid along the Trans-Siberian railroad; and of frequent friction along the northern Manchurian border.
In Manchuria lies the real danger to the World's peace. Russia is no China. Not only would another Russo-Japanese war be a conflict of the first magnitude in itself, but Europe, burdened as it is with fears and jealousies, would find it difficult indeed to refrain from taking a hand.
