WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10. 1932 NATIONAL RECOGNITION Traditionally known as campus "greasy-grinds," members of Phi Beta Kappa are at last receiving national recognition for being the cream of college intellectuals. Investigation made by an insurance company reveals that Phi Beta Kappa not only live longer but win a place in Who's Who more often than plain graduates and athletes. Further proof of their superiority is found in the new movement among employers to give preference to those graduates with a high standard in scholastic achievement. Studies of high school records tend to prove that the student with high achievement in high school ranks among the highest in college. If these findings of the insurance company and the judgment of employers are insufficient proof, the educational psychologists have an ace to play. Despite traditional unpopularity and scores of undergraduates, members of Phi Beta Kappa are achieving national recognition in scholastics and commerce. "WALKATHON" And now we have a "walkathon" in Kansas City. Young people who appear to be perfectly normal in every way enter such a race and subject their bodies to silly physical torment in order to receive a money award. It is true that a prize of money is something to be considered, but it is doubtful if the sum is sufficient to cover the amount of grief which is likely to follow such undue exertion. The idea of the event is to walk for a period of forty-five minutes, take a fifteen minute rest interval, and walk again, as long as strength lasts. Parents and friends send congratulations and cheering words to the participants who trudge on hour after hour. As long as there are people to invent such foolish ideas, there will be people to participate, and apparently nothing can be done about it. SMITH IS WILLING Alfred E. Smith's written consent to accept the Democratic nomination, if offered to him, is a surprise to no one. His candidacy has been an almost obvious fact for the past year to those interested in political strategy. Even though the Democratic candidate for President in the last campaign promises no pre-campaign efforts to obtain delegates to the 1932 meeting of the Democratic convention in Chicago, there is no doubt that an organized drive in his behalf will be developed by his friends in the East. Such a challenge by the Smith forces promises to throw the Democratic convention into a deadlock, with the native sons and the political team of New York being the ones to suffer. Few members of the Smith camp believe he is the man who will eventually lead the party in the next campaign. Even more political leaders doubt that he will develop anything like enough pre-convention strength to put him within striking distance of re-nomination. The major fault with Smith's chance for renomination is his failure in the last campaign. The Democrats are seeking a man who they think will attract the public interest, and his ability in that line is becoming questionable. Smith's announcement joins him with Rocevett, Ritchie, and "Alafa Bill" Murray in the race for the party leadership. No matter what the outcome of the plans of these political aspirants, there is no doubt that there is a great deal of bitterness and spectacular maneuvering ahead for each of the men. INTERNATIONAL POLICEMEN France, whose strong nationalistic policy now dominates Europe has suggested to the World Disarmament Conference that an international police force be organized to guarantee the security of the World. The proposal is contained in an elaborate plan directed toward the security which France has been o anxious to obtain. Other porions include a drastic reduction if land armaments and the strengthening of treaties. However desirable the Tardieu plan may sound on paper, there is no likelihood of its ever being accepted by the nations of the world. Few countries would consent to their troops being used as part of a composite army. The plan is far ahead of world opinion. A decided shift toward internationalism must take place in most countries before an organization of this type would be successful. Recent events in the Orient have demonstrated vividly the ineffectiveness of international agencies in dealing with strong nationalistic policies. The foundation of such a world structure must be laid before the towers can be set in place. MURRAY CLEARS THINGS UP Out of the tangle into which the Democratic party has been thrown by Alfred E. Smith's announcement of his "availability" for the presidential nomination, there has emerged only one statement in which the road leading to a Democratic occupancy of the White House next year is clearly pointed out. The words in question come from Gov. William Murray of Oklahoma, man of action and friend of the people. Lamenting the dire effects which the Smith announcement will have on the party, Murray belittles both the Smith and Roosevelt booms and winds up by advising his party to seek a candidate elsewhere than in New York. There is no political subtlety and finesse here; no complex words and hidden meanings to confound the common people and work evil for the advancement of the designing maker of political medicine. That it is something which lies outside the realm of Oklahoma's picturesque "Alfalfa Bill." "Neither Smith nor Rosevelt can carry at this time," Murray informs the press. "No candidate of New York should be nominated." Mur. Mrurtyn's sagacity is admirable. No doubt he would welcome a similar display by the Democratic National Convention.
