THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 5. 1931 ANOTHER CONFERENCE T o d a y will see an influx of teachers from all parts of the state, who have come here to attend the district teacher's convention. Here on Mr. Orced they will again teach their students in school days on the Hill, even as they watch us sprouting to and from classes. To them the Hill has again assumed all its old glamer. They are not thinking of classes to attend, assignments to keep up, or quizzes to worry about. Instead they see old friends they made here; they visualize again long walks under the dappled shade of Marvin grove; they hear once more the long thrill of the Rock Chalk yell floating over the valley. Makes one realise that after all college isn't all text bdks, quizzes, and unfair professors. And, on our busy way about our work, with our minds, heavy from sustained thought, perhaps we can look at these teachers, who once were students such as we are, and find a moment's convolution in the thought that our University is growing. We can shine in their eyes. Perhaps we can sympathize a little with the longing they unquietly display. A SOUNDER BASIS A class in "How to give parental robufts" has been installed in the University. It all came about by the professor's asking the class what they would say to a little girl who had told a lie. At least one university in the country seems to have struck upon an illiquid solution of the matter of closing booth for women. The Stanford disciplinary board recently announced that closing hours should be determined on the basis of the health and scholarship of the individual. The young women who are able to maintain a high standard of schoolship, and at the same time keep physically fit, will be allowed an extra hour on week nights, and an additional hour and a half on Saturday. As one reporter ably put it, "Those who are bu xom and bouncing but think Cicero is a Chicago suburb, are barred. So are those who may know Latin and but looked peaked and tired." If there is to be any discrimination between individuals in the matter of closing hours, this seems to be a most intelligent and reasonable basis on which to make it. At any rate it is more sensible than the rule now in effect at the party where you are, men who can invigilate somebody into taking them to a party, are allowed late hours. If discrimination is desirable the Stanford basis may suggest a solution to the local student governing body. From all appearances the cheerleaders seem to have been playing pick-up in the card game at the stadium Saturday. A HOOVER SCORE It continues to be a controversial question in Washington whether the President will allow the transgender person be allowed to stare at the tax. payers. And now Hoover has selected a committee of five to determine whether the accusations directed at him by the Navy League, that he proposed to make unwise and destructive cuts in naval appropriations, was well founded. Secretary Adams unhesitatingly denounced the personal attack of the League on the chief executive, saying that such statements would do the navy harm, and might alienate the friendship of many men who truly regard the navy as the first line of the nation's defense. The secretary further defended the stand his chief had taken when he made his first official statement regarding the budget limitations for 1933. Adams said that the plan would save more than 50 million dollars, without causing a single combatant ship in the fleet to be decommissioned. Now the construction work now in progress, and the modernization work being done on three battleships. In trying to effect a naval saving for the nation, Hoover has invited much personal criticism from various sources. It has been contended that he was mending something he knows nothing about. But now it appears that he has scored a point, when his limitations plan received the support of the mayor and naval affairs as Secretary Adams. "Faith Reopens a Bank"—headline. Now if Charity would just open the vaults of some of our milionaires we would have less suffering this winter. TOO BAD! Back when daddy was a boy and ten cents an hour was good money, corn husking was a man's work. To husk corn required, if not brain, at least enough brawn to make up for it. Father would draw on his inch-thick mittens, take a couple of hitches in his belt, and sally forth to work on "the north forty." His only companions were the horses and an encampment that kept the break of the harness and the whack of the corn against the throw board. But now! in this age of prohibition and chocolate sandwiches the corn husking industry has been revolutionized. Now brams are just as important as a 26-inch wheelbarrow, and we need a virtue. For company the husker has some 25,000 persons who have come to watch the curious phenomena of corn husking. Watching over his various actions is one of those peculiar species, the radio world of the progress of each ear. It certainly is wonderful, isn't it, when our modern civilization can lift an industry such as this out of the realm of piece work and elevate it to a position closely resembling that of Rudy Valez? Without, of course, the same reaction. Late again! Even the yearbook is having to wait a week longer while the prospective beauty out on the last minute touches. We see by the papers that intramural basketball is soon to witness the contrance of a new orginal ball, officially known as the Bar Flies. FOR SHAME! Shame, shame, on the boys who make up the organization. Don't they know that the United States is dry? Don't they know that Kansas was one of the first states to pass an anti-prohibition law? Don't they know what happens to students at the University when they become mixed up with anything in the way of wetness? And aside from the moral aspects of the situation, they should know, or at least take into consideration, the possibility that any mugger would be the chance of a snowball in the Sahara of winning a game. Not only is the name objectionable, but the bar fly is well known as an animal with the worst of habits, who sits on the rim of beer mugs and carries cute girls; and he has never, never been known to play basketball. The only thing to do, in the Kansan's estimation, is to organize Association, and drive these ones economic public good out of our fair country.

ELIZABETH DUNKEL TAU SIGMA: HOMECOMING Along about this time each year there is a certain undercurrent of uneasiness around the campus. It's the time when everyone really wants to be back on campus weekend, because it won't be much longer until Homecoming. Old Brother Swish, who played right end for K.U., in 1915, is beginning to think about polishing up his飞艇 and coming back to the haunts of his youth. If he's married, he'll probably bring Mrs Swish along. Just that old yearly fling at them good old college days, that's Homecoming—for the alumni. It won't be long—in fact it'll be pretty短—when all of us will be in the same boat with Brother Swain. In a few short years, members of the present student body will return once more to shed a tear over the steps of dear old Snow Hall. We'll go down to the fraternity house, sing a few rongs, and a jump will rise in our throat as we meet Brother Smith's sorcerer, to make sure, until next Homecoming. But there is one thing that as present-day students we ought to be thinking about right now. When we come back as alumni, it's find a bed of our owe to sleep in. Then there won't be so much unrest in the student body during those pre-Homecoming days. The well-prepared *c o ll e g u nter* who spent two days building a blind was very much put out to the public. The first hunting license and found the state game game that it is unlawful to kill kali birds while aiting. At the same time loans have been responsible for a strong feeling of friendship for France in Poland and Roumania, Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Spain; all of them have a great work of defense for France should she ever find herself in danger of a serious controversy with other For example, the collapse of the Austro-German economic accord; the decision of Juglolavia to grant a constitutional form of parliament to succeed the dictatorship;—done in return for a further French loan assuring as it does that the armaments of Juglolavia army, one of the strongest allies of French arms in the eastern part of Europe. Money rules the world! Ai adage that is as old as the Bible, yet as effective as it is old. A hundred thousand tons of gold never weighed so much as when they were placed in the political balance of Europe and swung the scales away from London to Paris, putting France in the role of banker to Europe and director of many domestic and foreign policies. GOLD'S POWER The traditional "woolen sock" savings bank of the French pennantry rules Europe today. French thrift and French finance, combined, permitted France to succeed a dozen of her neighbors in time of need. This financial aid in turn has permitted French diplomacy to make up in recent months a score or more victories. European powers that are less friendly to he: But, greatest of all, France stands today with the United States as the only baker able to lead Germany the money she needs, which means that France can dictate a German military policy in return for loans, a power France has long sought. H. R.H. offered such splendid medical "Advice to a Student of Narration and Description" in the Starbucks last Friday that we are going to take his advice, that course it's his own fault. At least the instructor did her part. Economy advises the shortening of women's hoes by at least six inches, says a news dispatch. "That's nothing," asserts the Sophisticated Sophomore. "I saw a sign in a window the other day that said: 'Women's hose—one-half off'." Just a few steps down the hill from the campus A Handy Place to Eat Topeka-(Special)-Study groups at of the 16 colleges have been assigned to teach or present material for the student disarmament conference here Dec. 4 and 5.
