CHEERING NEWS
If we are to believe the national foreign trade council, the United States will be the first nation to recover from the business difficulties which have confronted the world.
The council points out that American price levels have reached a degree of stability which they have not enjoyed for two years. It is cheering indeed to note that there has not been more than a two per cent variation in wholesale prices for the past five months in the United States, as compared with a drop of 11 per cent for the first six months of the year. The report of the council is based on the price index for June of last year.
Another interesting phase of the council's report is the fact that Europe too is gradually regaining some of her lost business, although not so much as the United States. It is further noted that the relative recovery of Germany is bringing up business outlooks everywhere.
There can be no doubt but what an economic comeback in Germany would do much to alleviate our economic pain. Her crises in the past have shown what one country can do to another when it comes to dollars and cents. Should Germany regain her business stability, perhaps our own country can dispense with moratoriums, and in so doing, aid herself and everyone else in smothering that awful word "depression."
SMALL MATTERS
Mahatma Gandhi missed an opportunity Saturday to have an audience with the Pope because the latter felt that Gandhi's loin cloth did not conform to the Vatican's standard of modesty. Gandhi would not don other garments to him, and he had appeared before King George his own sovereign, in his accustomed apparel.
When leaders of as large numbers of people as these two refuse to meet each other because of as small a matter as clothing we can understand why professors quibble over minor points in quiz papers.
A FALLEN FAVORITE
The Dove, that greatly and almost universally maligned bird of liberal opinion which now and then flits spadially over the campus with its message of cheer and satisfaction with the status quo, make a somewhat belated appearance yesterday morning. And after a perusal of its dainty pink sheets, we have reached the sickening conclusion that the Dove has had its wings clipped!
Heaven forbid that anything like that should have happened. We have always looked upon the pink poptheat of peace as a source for some really pointed and poignant discussions upon campus subjects. We expected some of the old time-fire-eating, hair raising, rip-roaring articles that have graced the pages of this august journal in past years. But lol! We were greeted with a Dove that
lives up to its namesake in quality and character—a mild, unassuming, peaceful bird that treads not on a single toe. There was not a single libel in it! Not ever one campus "name" was held up to public gaze and shot through and with the barbed arrows of Dovian sarcasm and ridicule.
Perhaps this issue was only a slip and we may expect to resume our spirt reading with the next issue. It fulfills a greatly felt need upon the campus. But please, Mr. Spirt, take care to clip your wines next time!
Shades of Paul Porter!
"Slain While Wives Walk."—Headline from Kamas City Times. We've heard of "pants pressed while you wait" shops, but we didn't know that the racketeers had taken over their methods vet.
Our Contemporaries
From the Oklahoma Daily:
MORE THAN A COUPLE
OF LETTER
In land collegiate fashion, two terms with widely different meanings have been confused to pass for the same thing—college education and college depar
A degree is a couple of letters summing up four years of passing grades The meaning of college education is still hard.
Dr. E T Hedge of the University of Oregon puts the blame on the system in which students present system is all wrong" he claims "Any student can listen to a professor and memorize his lectures and fire the same information back to him in an exasperating way."
"Some of the Phi Beta Kappa," he added, "are merely nirvans with a revertive mind."
According to Doctor Hodge's plan, intensive examinations at the end of four years would qualify the applicant for a Bachelor's degree or equivalent resident certificate. There would be no other examinations and no grades. The student would demonstrate whether he had passed all tests.
At the Play
G. H. Penney
It has been said that actors live on apologise. If such is the case, we are all aware that Goldsmith's debilistic club runs of Goldenmuth's debilistic farce, "She Stones to Conquer", will all come down with rickets or disease resulting from malnutrition.
Although the presentation given last night in Fraser Theater lacked somewhat the polish attained by the Kansas, it was well done from the musical club, under the able direction of Miss Frances Wilson, handled a shattering plot, full of加bes, in a thoroughly entertaining manner.
We felt that the fault, if any, with the reproduction roasted with the audience, was because we had a lot of unfinished conversation to complete, especially after the rise of a new band. This was marked, as was also the lack of consideration for the hard working audience.
The theater last night was well heated and for the life of us we cannot wait to see it, but it is necessary to sit on their hands. Laughs came aptly and real applause was elicited in a demeaning applause meant for us made the off-stage notes in the senior play of the Hays High School many years ago and the show went on until the school made a mean heat-boot. We got press notices, too. Of course, the fact that the school board had hard to do with it.
As everyone knows the plot of the play, we need not go into that. In our estimation, the work of Robert Milton was brilliant, and as Kate Hardcastle, and Albert Evans as George Hastings was outstanding in our humble opinion, Frank J. Anneberg as Tony Lumpkin showed a tenacity to be great at registering his first couple of laughs, Jack Fiss as Young Marlow was good in spots but the spots seemed to be put away. He had poise where the audience was sitting, where the里 crying need was for noise.
We hope we are not alighting any one. We are trying to make up, in a measure the dearth of hand-clapping Mr. Morris Baird, Darl Kennell, and Roy Nichols were notable and rightfully stole the scene in which they appeared The work of Morris Baird as Digory Morris Baird was an unexcasionally realistic bit of acting.
Margaret Woodbury as Mrs. Hardcock, Betty Lee as Constance Neville, Betsy Lee as Constance Neville, and the three other principals, filled their parts in a—well, they filled their parts. Burt Hammers, Robert Morton, William Brown, Jerry Weiss, Loren Kennedy, Farrell Strauss, and Veneta Skeple in their minor which lay in the background which after all, is essential.
The settings produced under the direction of Prof. Allen Critton were distanced from the stage, much to the color and sparkle of the play which is well worth any theater
Advanced Staff commission will meet Thursday, Dec. 17, at 4:30 p.m. at home for an all W.C.A. Chairman, the Executive Director, and that event will be held @ (OSPHERNE MAXWELL, Chairman).
We were grandly landed upon for leaving Chicago out when we mentioned good dance orchestra. We are merry, Chicago, by the way, has Ted Kissel, King, White, William Louis Poncho, Bear Kay, and a half dozen others.
"Careless Love" is an interesting feature over NBC. It is a series of colored playlists written by a negrat dramatist. If you don't like the play you will enjoy the "Careless Love" as it is sung by a member of the cast.
We also failed to mention that Henry Theis is at Cincinnati. He isn't half bad.

One of the greatest radio hooksups ever attempted was used last Saturday in commemoration of the first radio sent to Amsterdam by Munich. The broadcast featured nearly every country on the globe via short wave. A radio message was then sent in code around the world in two minutes. It traveled from New York to Amsterdam, from Java to Amsterdam, and from Amsterdam to New York.
At a recent radio poll by radio editors, the Bowell Sisters were picked as the best sister team and Ben Bernie as the best Master of Ceremonies.
