The fund has aroused a great deal of speculation and discussion among various groups on the Hill. The house president based their action on the argument that each fraternity, by giving ten dollars to the loan fund instead of spending it on decorations, would help a cause that is important to the time effect a saving to each organized group. There is no doubt that the motives inspiring the house presidents in this decision were of the highest, but the proposition has another side that must be considered. The Homecoming committee, which plans and makes all arrangements for that occasion, has counted extensively upon the use of house decorations as a drawing card to bring visitors to the University at that time. K. U. has established a reputation for having the best decorated houses and camps of any of the Big Six schools. Thus the Homecoming committee views the abandonment of house decorations as a serious blow to that reputation a big disappointment to the returning alumni, and a lowering of the Missouri-Kansas tilt to the plane of "just another football game." As the matter stands, it amounts to whether the fraternities should individually give a total of approximately two hundred dollars to the loan fund, or whether they should reconsider their action and make an effort to decompose that money concurred in the action of the fraternities and plan to decorate as usual. In view of these circumstances, it would seem wise that the fraternities should compromise on their stand and pursue a middle course. Would it not be possible to add a plan to the cost of decorations, were limited to ten dollars, and the remaining money that would ordinarily be spent for decorations be given to the student loan fund? As a rule, around twenty-five dollars is spent on decorations and on this basis such a plan would allow the institution to donate to the loan fund, and still save five dollars on their usual expenditure. In this manner the best interests of all parties concerned would be fulfilled, without limiting any proposed course of action at the expense of another. Furthermore, it would place the competition for the best decorated house on a basis of equity rather than on the amount of money spent. Whatever the decision of the fraternities, thoughtful consideration should be given to the matter and a satisfactory solution arrived at promptly. RAW-HIDE ARGUMENTATION The flogging of six alleged Communists at Pontiac, Mich., Thursday recalls the Ku Klux Klan violences that were commonplace a few years ago. It appears that some ignorance mismanors still think they can control public thought and opinion by personal violence. Communism, although its good points are recognized by sociology and economic students, is not popularly accepted in this country, to be sure. But the lack of popular approval is not sufficient ground for a discussion, and we hold the minority view of the capitalism-versus-Communism controversy. Wide-spread openmindness, and liberal thinking in all fields of political and liberal thought, have been largely responsible for the disappearance of frequent displays of this sort of violence. The apprehension and fear that black men 'black-mice convivers' will help further the cause of free thought for which 'Constitution so noly stands. THE TRUE RUSSIA William E. Mullins, a graduate of the University and now an engineer assisting in the direction of the Siberian coal field operations in Russia, painted an entirely different picture here last Thursday from that which we have seen through the press. He told not of the Russia which is undertaking one of the greatest expansion programs in the history of Russia, but of the Russia that is subjecting her people to almost complete governmental control in every way, and that is woefully behind in her visionary five-year plan. He told of a Russia that forces her people to renounce their religion on pain of extinction to the Siberian forests; a Russia where the commodities of life sell for cheap and the government stores must charge out of all proportion to the goods they sell. He painted a vivid picture of glaring inefficiencies in the administration of the labor projects where trains were slow and trains were expensive to be fashioned out of steel rails. Does this mean that Russia's five-year plan is a failure? RAPID-FIRE MATRIMONY While it is not true that Russia's scheme cannot succeed, it is highly probable that it will not. What then is to come? What has Russia to fall back on; what foundation can she use to bolster her economic structure? Seeingly the U. S. S. R. has not willyly the foolproof plan that many Americans have been led to believe. Almost the same day Gloria Swanson and her Marquis got their final divorce, it became known that Henry James is Vallone already. Couraud already had picked out to himself another movie actress. Constance Bennett is to be the next wife of the Frenchman, who gave his age as 33 and his occupation as movie director, when he began to make movie star films declared their intentions at the clerk's office. That was what the average person would call a quick catch, but the Marquis will have to get up pretty early in the morning to keep up with his former wife. He is not even married yet, while Gloria Swanson has already been married twice since she said "yes" to the summan, Michael FARMOR, Irish sportsman. Hollywood matrimony is rapid fire institution, all right. FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS The old Manchu dynasty was overthrown in 1912, and prior to that time the father of the "boy emperor" ruled as prince regent during his son's minority. Now comes the plan to place the "boy emperor" on the throne of Manchuria. The schemes apparently stirred up riots, to divert the attention of the Chinese authorities away from the boy emperor. Their attempt was apparently unsuccessful. They were to Mukden in a Japanese warship The plans are evidently to install the boy emperor on the throne of Manchuria before Nov. 16, the date set by the League of Nations' council to withdraw the Japanese troops. The probability is that the Japanese believe if they place the boy emperor on the throne he will be friendly to them. He may even be an ally. At least their plan will divert acently has played her ace in the hole; now it will be interesting to see what Hsuan Tung's attitude will be toward his "benefactor." DISCOURAGEMENT The Devil once offered all of his tools for sale, and announced that he was going out of business. He seemed very willing to sell out to anyone who would pay his price. He must have displayed his wares as attractively as possible on the night of the sale, but in spite of his efforts, they were a bad looking lot. Malice, hatred, envy, jealousy, sensuality, deceit, and his other implements of evil stood proudly in their places as they were looked upon by the observers. Apart from the rest lay a very humillious looking wedge-shaped tool, much worn, and priced much higher than the rest. "That's Discouragement," it will cost you more because it has been more valuable to me. I can pry into a man's consciousness with that when I cannot get near him with any of the other tools. Once I get home, I'll at it or I please he have used that I wouldn't almost everyone and few know that it belongs to me." One of the buyers asked its name. Needless to say, the Devil's price for Discouragement was so high that it was never sold. He still owns it and is still using it. "As civilization advances, poetry almost necessarily declines."

ELMA RICHTER Lawmakers in United States Do Not See Alike Concerning Divorce Question Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 15. —(UP) There are as many specifications for cutting the marital knot as there are states in the Union. Lawmakers, it would appear from a survey made by the California logisticians at Stanford that the case it comes to the question of divorce. The requirements, as a rule, are many and In Nevada, where the divorce business is considered in the light of a major industry, a marriage may be made between an immigrant and the state six weeks. As contrasted to this, South Carolina recognizes no such legal act in the individual case. The exceptions range from Nevada, with its six weeks law, and Idaho asking a three month stay, to Connecticut, which requires a residence of three months in the state, which recognizes only those who have lived in the state five years. While these points would indicate that the disagreement over divorce details is general, the survey points out that the states do agree on certain matrials. In Tennessee, proceedings may be based on any one of 13 grounds, while New York and the District of Columbia recognize only a chaparral of infidelity, or any other jurisdiction more remarry. In Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Tennessean, the defendant may not marry the correspondent until after the death of the plaintiff—an arrangement, incidentally, which puts a burden on the disappearance of the innocent nanny. With only a few noticeable exceptions the states agree that in certain types of divorce cases, the parties must have lived in the state for at least one year.
