MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1931 WHY COLLEGE? Today more young people than ever before attend or plan to attend institutions of higher learning. Today in the United States there is a lower percentage of illiteracy than has been known in the history of the world. Does this mean that the second statement ties up with the first? Is there a lower percentage of illiteracy because more of us are going to college, or is it because there is more compulsory grade school education? Ask yourself: why am I going to college? Am I here for an education, or is it merely a means of loafing four years? Am I here because I want to learn more of the thing that I have chosen for my life work, or is it because I am enjoying the social advantages that a university has to offer? Am I here to broaden myself mentally and emotionally, or am I merely acquiring a superficial surface polish and enjoying the sensation? Be truthful with yourself. Look back over your previous college life and see how much really useful material you are able to call to mind that is a direct product of your college career. Sit down with yourself and try to tell yourself truthfully whether you think that college has been giving you the things which will help you in life. If you can look your conscience in the eye and say: "Yes, college is helping me to make a better and more successful person out of myself," then our waunted "higher education" is earning its board and keep. But if that still small voice tells you that you've only been wasting four years—what's it worth after all? According to news dispatches we see that the October just past was the warmest in several years. Of course President Hoover and his heated discussion with the Navy League started it all. MURRAY SCORES AGAIN A substantial cut in natural gas rates, affecting 14 Oklahoma cities, was announced by the Doherty companies Friday. Governor Murray attributes the rate reduction to an investigation of public utilities, which was started several months ago. Possibly the governor is correct in his assumption as to the reason for the lower rates, and whatever the cause, the reduction will be heartily accepted by both commercial and domestic users, because it will save them a quarter of a million dollars each year. Aside from the state utilities its investigation, there is another force at work in Oklahoma which man have contributed something to the gas cut. In several towns where alleged excessive gas rates were being charged, competitive franchises were let by the voters much to the chagrin of the more politic utilities which had been serving the consumers. In fact there is a goodly number of Sooner cities which have more than one franchise in effect at the moment. Governor Woodring recognized the necessity for competition between rival gas utilities in Kansas several months ago, and he recommended that cure to several Kansas towns where excessive rates were being charged. But thus far, due either to a lack of surplus gas in the state, or because of inadequate governmental investigation, there has been no apparent tendency toward lower rates within the bounds of this state. RED FLANNELS Red flannels are returning, says Dame Fashion. That "scratchy old stuff" that grandmother used to beg us to put on in ice weather, may put us right in style this winter. Why should masculine vanity refuse to suffer for the feminine gender starts flashing red flamel over soft challis and wool knits? A rejuvenation of the vogue for red flannel underclothing and sleeping apparel may be of great utility if weather forecasts for an extreme winter should begin to materialize. Red Flannel bed jackets and red pegnail would look nice with red bedroom slippers. Then one might crawl into a red flannel sleeping bag tied with shiny braided cord, and the addition of a red flannel night cap, one would be sleeping in style, not to mention comfort. With all this wailing about no business and the depression we wonder if any stores will start the old slogan "doing your Christmas shopping early and avoiding the rush?" LETTER FROM LEONARD O'BRYON (Prof. and Mrs. W. J. Bangartner ave received the following letter from award O'Brien, 28, who is the Voll- gerian, of the University of St. Maryland. He started in August and print six weeks in the villages in the village of Garrison, which included the fee of the common people.) The letter: Germany is surely a country of rapid and unsupported charges at the border, in which a few years ago would have been considered as being outside the realm of all likelihood. The forming of a new enabled by Charles Brewing Company could be the event of Hitler, the mass meeting at Hartzburg, and the vote for or against the support of Brewing in the Reichstag, the latter occurring in other such quick succession that it hardly seems possible that Germium life can run along as smoothly as *y* The political tension, however, is evidenced every day. The day of the murderer, a Socialist leader, was a busy time for the Berlin police. The visit to was to take place the latter part of the morning before the bridegroom, the kreuzers, or backers of the National-Socialist party, began to gather in great numbers. The police did not detent. It is interesting to note the care taken by the Berlin police to see that the bridegroom and his bridesmaids. In addition to the police stationed at regular intervals trucks carrying some fifteen or twenty policemen do patrol During the meeting of the Reichstag the efforts of the police to maintain order were very interesting. From the "unter Den Linden" street the streets leading to the Reichstag building were blocked off by ropes and by squadrons from the outside for anyone to approach the Reichstag without a permit. The Torgarten in the vicinity of the Reichstag building was guarded by the mounted police. There are also splendid looking police force, and in spite of the trying conditions they are always very courteous and very good natured. As in Italy, the police are now on duty and are usually in disturbances, and are usually to be seen walking in pairs rather than alone. This is especially true in the vicinity of Alexander Plata, where the com During my short stay in France, it was interesting to note the feeling of the French people toward the Germans.

There will be an informal meeting Wednesday, C.W. radical elements gained the upper hand. President Hindenburg is held in the very highest of esteem. The tectites of the National Opposition, that is, the radical right against Breuning, have been more in the direction of building up a defense against the Nazi regime and are planning co-operation with France. Hugenberg, the leader of the German Nationalist party, Hitler, and the head of the Nazi administration unit back of the Nationalist party, had joined hands, so to speak, with France in an effort to bring about an understanding on a real working basis, and tried to help it by issuing notes to swaing the support of the Reichstag to their side. The majority of the German people appear to be bewildered at this situation, striking a blow at France whenever possible. Under the circumstances it is quite natural that there be a certain amount of "sparring," but the German government has only started a matured exchange of "parels," ending with a "draw" which recognizes the interests on each country, will bring the parties together and Germany and France are playing the leading roles, and the other countries are the supporting cast. The real success of these relations must only be assured when amicable relations between two stellar roles. It is extremely interesting to note the interest of the small children in the picture by going along with five years of age walking along the street with a companion of his same age. heated, argument about the merita of the present government and the economic and political effects to be expected from the new laws recently passed in Germany. I asked the budget of the German government. I overheard two children engaged in just that type of conversation. I played the part of an eavesdropper and "listened It sounded something like this: "You think that communism can help Germany, don't you? You are all wrong, and so is the Brewing regime. What we must have is a strong opposition of the right wing to the parties of the middle and especially against the finances of Germany must be saved." An acquaintance of mine a year and a half ago thought the same would and set at the state office, "Today the total organ of the communist party is the organized organ of the communist party in Germany. And finally influence is not the determining factor. It was early Friday morning when I got to this boy of fifteen tell him not to bring the communist paper into the home again. The mother is a follower of Marxism. Germany is politically very alive. Leonard O'Bryon. Siuned: SUITING YOU That's My Business 917 Mass. Sbultz the Tailor MONDAY!

Romance whose Tenderness brings a Jawsus of the Tinct Casts that Ever Gives a Gem Picture! BUILDING WITH THE ELECTRIC ARC JUST as Elias Howe's sewing machine revolutionized the construction of textile products, arc welding is changing methods of construction of metal products. Electricity is changing all the old methods, whether in the fabrication of buildings, in manufacturing, or in transportation. The materially improved G-E arc welders, recently introduced, were largely the development of college-trained men who had supplemented technical theory with practical experience in the General Electric Company. In every department these men are developing the skills required by their leader in the electrical industry. Other young men are being trained, obtain in the Test Department experience which fits them for future responsible positions. To-day, welded steel is replacing castings; are welding is used in the construction of the automobiles in which we ride; it joins together those long, sinuous pipe lines which bring oil, gas, and water from fields and reservoirs to city and sea; silently, swiftly it knits the steel framework of skyscrapers with joints as strong as the metal used in it is used in the construction of thouroughly built buildings. To-day, welded steel provides versal utility. To-day has shown only a few of its uses, while to-morrow will reveal thousands of other applications.
