--both are interested in the national烷曼. One fears that the other will seek to control its various ports, thus gaining a strategic point for naval bases. Both have "friendly treaties" with other nations on the Mediterranean to help their cause, if you wish to叫 it a cause. Neither is on strict friendly terms with the other.
These facts are known throughout the world. They have been broadcast since the naval parley held in England. And, considering the disagreements between these two nations, none of the powers to take active part in the disarmament conference wants another disagreement of this kind to follow.
It is for this reason that President Hoover is meeting with Laval and Grandi. He knows that any agreement that can be reached now will help to keep disagreement out of the February meeting. The President is wise in doing this. He is looking toward the future, and each step in reconciliation now means that much more co-operation at the February conference and that much more gained toward a permanent peace that many hope will be established for the world.

Pollished at the alumnae, five times a work, an hour in the morning. In 1820 he was appointed of distinction of the University of Toronto from the estate of the late William J. Lawrence, born 1817, by A. C. Lawrence, lawyer (1817-1831), a sixteen year single man, to whom his parents left the estate in 1825, as the last act of Lawrence, Ontario, who later became a professor at U.C.

THESE MENTAL PRODIGIES
Another of these "mental prodigies" has appeared on the horizon, this time at the University of Chicago. Only fifteen, this boy, Dugald Stewart McDougall, has the highest average of the freshman class, an "A plus." Under a new system, incubated at the University this year it is possible for a student to finish in less than four years. So, if this boy keeps up his already phenomenal record, he will have obtained his degree in slightly more than two years.
What a pity that such things have to happen in our modern educational system! Think of a boy of fifteen already a freshman in a university! Visualize, if you can, this same boy graduating at the age of seventeen, younger than most high school graduates.
Granted that the lad is unusually gifted with cerebral matter, what more has he? He will be thrown out into the world at the tender age of seventeen, where, unless some college pick him up for his value as a curiosity, he will be entirely unable to cope with the problems of life.
A college education does not mean simply ioning through four years, two years in this case, and making an "A plus" average. College is supposed to equip one for the situations one has to meet in everyday life. It is supposed to send the young person out when he has reached an age which enables him to make rational decisions.
We sincerely hope that the young man in question graduates in his two years, and goes out to make a wonderful success of life. We are earnestly afraid that he will do no such thing
A MOVE FOR BIRD HOUSES
We notice with deep concern the caustic comment of some scribe in the University Daily Kansan concerning the "capuol" on the tower of the new hospital. Such criticism of an ornament on a building so worthy of praise rushes on our ears. Granted that the thing is a bit ridiculous, why did not the writer strenge to investigate further
Perhaps the designers of the hospital, with far-seeking vision, looked forward to the day when cooping dows come to roast on the hospital, brightening the day with their notes of love. Perhaps at that distant time the architect planned to turn the embryo Chrysler building at the hospital into a home for these worthy birds, making them happy in their new surroundings. Surely no one can think of a motive half so worthy or deserving of favorable comment.
And, after thinking it over, why wouldn't such a plan be a fine thing for every University building? Place on the highest peak of each imposing building a beautiful dovecoe, a tiny home for wrens, or a speakery for sparrows. Then every student hurrying to and from his classes could watch the little birds at their home-making and speculate on more serious things than jazz, wine and the opposite sex. Wouldn't that make a pretty sight, with all the birds coming home to a good hot meal after a hard day at the office?
And, if we were going to have bire houses, we should really have to have some one to distribute food each day, and that would furnish work for all the students who are out of a job. The state would have to pay them, but they could sell some of the squabs to cover that expense.
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
All eyes will soon be directed toward, the disarmament parley to be held in February. To what agreements can the different nations come that will be satisfactory to all powers concerned? What nations at present might offer differences that would cause the parley to be unsuccessful and bring about a disagreement that would throw the great nations of the world into a turmoil? These questions are being answered in part by conferences now planned between President Hoover and ministers from other countries.
This month Hoover will meet with Minister Laval of France. In November the President will meet with Minister Grandi of Italy. The visit of these two statesmen to the United States are not purely pleasure trips or vacations. It was the naval parley held in England, it was the nations these men represent which could not come to an agreement over the reduction in the number of ships for each nation.
GIVE THEM A BREAK
In a few days the season on lawn ducks and pigeons will open. As usual, many thousands of wild fowl will be slaughtered at the whims of the men who call themselves sportmen. If these slaughterers of inoffensive wild game are sportsmen, then the gangsters are in the same category. The gangsters kill because it is their business, while the sportmankills for the sheer lust of killing.
Why can't we give the wild game a break? They are perfectly harmless. The ducks and geese are interesting in their mode of life. Poets have written about them. Scientists have studied their semi-annual migrations and made reports on their findings. Will these native inhabitants of the continent be killed out like the buffalo?
Once, according to Indian legend, the buffalo rounded the prairies in numbers great as the blades of grass. It was impossible, the pale face thought, to exterminate such a board. It would have been impossible for the Indian, but the ruthless slaughter of the helpless beasts by the white man soon brought their numbers to few.
Now that the big game is practically killed off, the so called sportmen are concentrating on the lesser fry, Like the buffalo, the wild fowls are being slaughtered in great numbers. Will they go in the same way? Or will the government step in and halt this slaughter? It has done so in some small measure; but the sportmen, being such good sports, put up a loud protest.
There is but one path open for the United States and Canada if they wish to keep a few water fowl for posterity to look upon. The remedy is prohibition of the slaughter and the building of game refugees for the birds in their flight. With these it may be possible for a few to be saved. Without such protection the wild wolf of North America will follow the wake of the buffalo and the great zuk.
TSK! TSK!
As a climax to registration at the University of Nebraska, a news report states, all new students are required to sit for individual photographs, which are a part of the identification card system used by Nebraska. And to this
Perhaps to the novice, or to be more polite the freshman, this might appear to be a good system, but to those of us who have lost faith in photographs and photographers through a multitude of experiences, all we can add is "Hai Ha!"
we might add: "Ha! Ha!" Not a sarcastic outburst, but a "Ha! Ha!" just the same.
Now you take the photographs of the so-called beauty queens of the University when they appear in local newspapers. Everybody is astounded, the upperclassmen particularly, with the amazing amount of beauty, or should we say pulchritude, that can be found on the campus. But immediately upon looking at the names under the pictures, we are not only astounded but ouright exasperated. To think that any photographer would try to fool an honest student body! The pulchriture in the pictures is amazing, but when you meet these so-called beauty queens on the campus—well—you are rather disillusioned.
To us it seems preposterous to use this system of identification. Not that we wish to condemn Nebraku for using it; quite on the contrary, the Cornhuskers should be complimented for having so much faith in photographs. But after the many times we have been fooled here, all we can say is "Ha! Ha!"
VANDALISM STILL EXISTS
Several days ago the Devil and a few imps of Satan played "Ring Around the Rosy" with the prayer books and song sheets at the Antioch church near Avondale. They didn't stop at overturning the pew, but wrecked the piano and wrote obscenely on the pages of the Bible, cherished by the "Spherder of the Hills," who led about a year ago.
In the fifth century the Teutons ravaged Gaul and pillaged Rome, willfully destroying the things that had been made artistic and sacred to the hearts of the people. They were called "Vandals."13
Whether the current incident represents childplay or the plunder of an anti-horse trif group which met near the church Saturday night, it still rep-
A HARD JOB
the church Saturday night, it still represents an inclination toward barbarians in the human race, seeking an outlet.
For the first time since organized gandong became a power in our social and economic welfare, it appears that the legal net is at last closing fast around Scarface Alphonse Capone, recognized leader of organized crime and vice in Chicago.
It would seem, from news dispatcher of Capone's current trial in which the state is endeavoring to prove that the gang leader evaded payment of income taxes, that prosecutors have finally pooled the result of years of effort and at last have something tangible as evidence of some illegal Capone activity.
It is to be regretted that organized crime was allowed to come into existence to such a degree. But at long as it is here, the sort of task that confronts our public protectors of law and order should be realized.
Regardless of the verdict which is expected soon, the work of authorities in round up organized crime should not be underestimated. Considerable of the wrath of public opinion has been leveled at the heads of public prosecutors for their failure to suppress organized crime. But if one stops to think how he himself would go about handling a similar situation, he will hesitate to condemn enforcement officers. When one runs up against organized crime today, he is fighting untold' resources and cunning not often better organized. Then too, it must be observed that crime news is apparently on a downward trend, a significant fact in itself.

The old cry, "The Aggies Are Coming," that has driven students from their beds has taken its place with other traditions that have long since escaped to exist. No more raiding parties, no more hair-lifting experiences, no more "hell raising"; and we are glad to say that it is over. Through the co-operative work of the student councils on both campus, pre-game activities have been abandoned; and once more we are glad to say it is over.
If past years the week preceding the K. U.-Aggie football clash was negative as far as studies were concerned. Students would dash back and forth between Manhattan and Lawrence on campus parties. There was little sleep, except that obtained in classes, and on the day of the big game the student bodies of both schools were so completely worn out that the classic could not be enjoyed fully.
"ALL QUIET - - - "
Many argue that cessation of this kind of warfare would put to an end the keen rivalry that existed between the two schools; that the student bodies would look forward to the contest as "just one more game on the schedule." But this has not proved true. Both schools still regard the game with the same spirit as when raiding parties were carried out, if not a better one. It has not only heightened interest in the game, but the abolition of raiding parties has made it possible to continue an athletic relationship between the two schools that might have been broken had the students gone too far.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE
Notre Dame is building a million-dollar field house in tribute to Krute Rocke. It will contain five gymnasiums, a large swimming pool, clubrooms, and a trophy hall. A room in this field house will be arranged for the Monogram Club, membership in which is limited to men who have won letters by representing the University in competition.
But Maurice Carroll, who is design- ing this English Gothic structure, will not be present at the meetings of the Monogram Club. Carroll is a Kansas City alumnus of Notre Dame.
While in school his football services were rejected by the great Rocke, of whom he was very fond. When the bids for designing the Memorial were made Carrull made every effort to obtain the contract. He will now be rendering a service in tribute which the great Coach cannot reject.

44 New Foreigners In United States on Fellowships and Scholarships
Attend American Schools
Although the number of new students arriving this fall is placed at 144 this should not be regarded as representative of the universities and universities of the Institute. There are a large number of last year's appointees who will be present to remain a second year and whose appointments have been either directly approved by the Board or obtained from the Institute in their behalf. Counting these second year students, therefore, the total number approximates to 136.
William Kenyon, 31, is working as a research chemist in organic chemistry for the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, N.Y.
These foreign students are placed in institutions all over the country but, as might be expected, the eastern and northwestern half of them. Seventeen per cent will attend colleges and universities in the eastern and northeastern more and Washington. In the Middle West there are approximately 30 per cent of the total number placed while in the western and southern small as to be stated in actual numbers rather than percentages. There are three in Colorado, four in California, two in New York and one in the University of Hawaii.
