PARENTS AND CARS The starting information recently brought out concerning cars and student drivers at the University impressed on one deeply the precise attitude which parents take toward the driving of cars by their children. Four hundred permits have already been received by the Chinese office, and many more are expected. There can be only one conclusion; parents with their children to drive cars at the University. Students will drive cars, even when they must obtain their parents' permission. The responsibility for regulating these cars and their drivers while they are on University property now remains a task for the administration. The burden of the safe conduct of these student driven rests on the shoulders of the taxpayers. The University, having done its part, must now await developments. As a matter of fact very little real harm results from the use of cars on the campus. True, it destroys much of the democracy which a co-educational institution stirs to foster, but very few accidents have occurred on the grounds of the University. The fatal ones, smash-ups where one or more have been killed or injured, have taken place on state roads, territory over which the University has no jurisdiction. They will continue to take place just so long as the students are able to obtain cars, either from their parents or from regular rental stations. The administration has acted admirably in the case. It has cleared itself of any possible reproach. The ultimate responsibility now rests with the parents, who after all, are logically to blame for such actions as occur. Our only hope that in the future more of them will take the stand which the University has taken. A _aews dispatch tells how a small rabbit vicuously attacked a dog. Freshmen won't appreciate the little animal's courage until they make a trip or so through the padding line of the K men. A SOCIAL BLUNDER Mahatma Gandhi took time out long enough yesterday from his sitting, knitting, and roundtable conferences on Indian independence to add his solution to the infinite number of solutions already offered as to the cause of the great depression. "The United States has a great horde of gold, a curse and a primary cause of the depression. This must be dispatched, distributed, and put into circulation and wealth equalized," he said. Perhaps the "Little Brown Man" didn't realize when he spoke these words that he was committing a faux pas—an international social blunder so to speak. Or maybe he had just dropped a couple of stitches when he gave the interview and his world renowned wits were wool gathering. But no matter what the reason, the fact remains that he "jacked up" Uncle Sam about his pocket book and expense account, and in case Gandhi don't know it, that's a mighty touchy spot with the old gentleman. Foreign dictators and potentiates can prescribe the clothes women of this country shall wear. They can prescribe the proper accent for Americans to affect when returning home from foreign shores, and the correct angle to assume when falling off a horse. But they can't say things about our financial idiosyncrasies without hurting our feelings. It really was a rather indiscreet utterance for a wise man. But even wise men aren't entirely above making mistakes. SHOULD CURFEW RING? Should curfew ring? If so, why, and, if not, why? Should out University laddies and lasses be called in from their extra-curricular activities at the unheard-of hour of 10:30? We would like to hear the learned discussion of some horey sage regarding such a possibility. Perhaps he could tell us whether Tom, Dick, and Hary, or Saly, Lucy, and Kate, should have a warning bell, or more properly whistle, to tell them when the hour is getting late and all good dates should be at home in bed. Such a discussion opens up many avenues of thought. Suppose the bad and lascise aforementioned should happen to be halfway between here and Topekten when the phastly whistle blew, then? First we may ask: could they hear the whistle? If so, would they heed it, or proceed with the business in hand regardless of time and space and the University whistle? Then again, suppose there happened to be a flat tire when the witching hour of 10:30 drew near. Would the girl, very properly of course, leave her date laboring with the tire and strike out for her assigned domicile, or sound the chords of loyalty and stay on, regardless of the dictates of deans and whisles? Lack of space forbids the fascinating treatment of such an interesting problem which we should like to give it. However, one infallible solution presents itself Dolbin and the one horse shy to the rescue! Now we ask you, could Dolbin have a flat tire or run out of gas? The answer is loudly—no Dolbin can always be depended on to do his stuff in the old familiar manner. Give him time and he'd make the deadline with minutes to spare. And think of the freedom of thought which the absence of brake and clutch, steering wheel and accelerator, would bring! There's no doubt about it, the curfew would bring horse conveyances back to the fore in no time at all. The Sophomore says that a true test of friendship comes when a professor sees a former student and recognizes her in an Eugene. ALENTINO IN A FOOTBALL SUIT THEMATIC IS A NOTHING SAN. These movies, will they never relent, Clara Bow show our morals, Lew Ayear stole our girl, the Marx brothers stole our dignity, and now the Chenowitt, Film company comes along and steals our illusions. They've put our big, beautiful girls into their own shoes. We always pictured football men as great, hulking creatures, who feared more than a dozen times. Somehow we can't visualize them galloping in the bens of a movie camera, perhaps to sweep the girl onto their brawny shoulder and carry her to safety. Or again we couldn't stand the shock of seeing a vicious tackle, watching the two men fall to earth with a thud, and then hearing one of them say: "Is my hair mussed, Joe?" Football men just don't belong in the movies. If they don't look out they're going to destroy their following. Many a matinee idol has ridden the crest of the wave for a few brief weeks, only to go tumbling into oblivion when the side subsides. The Sophisticated Sophomore says that she never knew there were so many verses to the Alma Mater before convolution this morning. The Scotch Freshman says that he thinks he will date blondes this year because of the light overhead. One pretty damnel was highly insulted when a naisman at Rowland's Book store refused to cash her check without identification. "Why, I'm a Kappa. Don't that enough?" she replied. "I didn't back down from the counter laughter hysterically and then canned the maiden's check. Yes, it was enough." Plain Tales An energetic young lady parked her car in front of a drug store, tooted the horn blatantly, and then ordered a swimming cap from the clerk. It was not only that she wore it when informed that she could not charge the cap. The clerk called the manager to see what could be done about the matter. "What, don't you have your hair down?" he demanded the maiden. "No, that's how IReply to the manager. Read the Kansan want-ada.

BOOK EXCHANGE: Campus Opinion MARY BENNETT, Manager VIEWING GANDHI THROUGH PIN HOLE —M. Kanakadri Rao. Editor Daily Kansas: I was interested to find in the edi- tion of *Wonderland* today's Kanan the head lines "Gandhi and the Simple Life." The journalist that edited the fair article, if he had only staged Gandhi's role in the creation of the Indian is not opposed to modern developments in science at all, but that he is willing to allow Gandhi one should possess not a superficial outlook on things but a deep, sinic and humanitarian mind. The journal is devoted to the almost delicately wrapped greet minds. If the journalist had really given a moment's thought to what Gandhi saw he would have pressed it in a different position it is nothing but a great waste of money to illuminate the streets to that degree when only a fraction of it could be covered by this poise. This makes me think that after all part knowledge or pin hole knowledge is more dangerous than no knowl- DOCTOR DISCOVERS SHOCK LAW-VOLTAGE DANGEROUS Heretofore when people have died from shock with supposedly low voltages of electricity, such as from house circuits, it is important on the ground that the voltage has suddenly become greater than the usual 110 or 120 volts. Dr. Williams offers another explanation for the electrical rather than physical grounds. New York Shocks by electricity of even such low voltage as that found in the ordinary household circuit are extremely dangerous and may cause death, Dr. Horatio B. Williams of this department of the American Medical Association. Within recent years medical scientists have learned that electricity under the pressure of a very low potential heart causes the heart to cause a sort of tremor or waving in its usual contraction, which physicians call fibrillation. Instead of all muscle fibers contracting without co-ordination, they without co-ordination. When the current passes through one part of the heart, this fibrillation occurs without causing any harm when the current passes through another part of the heart, the circulation steps at once and death usually follows in all large animals. "A person in a bathhut, making through his wet skin an excellent contact with the grounded drain pipe, runs a deadly risk if he happens to touch it," Dr. Williams said, which is in electrical contact with the ungrounded side of the circuit." Dr. Williams said, "Fixities are not supposed to be in this condition, but there are no many opportunities for them to occur so that the drags 'is' ever present." SCIENCE SHIP TO ARRIVE IN AMERICA SEPTEMBER Woods Hole, Mass. — A new ship, the "Atlantic," built especially for scientific work at sea, is now on the way to Amerien, but she will go to work on her maven voyager, she will not arate until deployment until about the first of September. The "Atlantis" was built at Copernic hagen for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. She is a steel boat of approximately 280 tons displacement and can sail on an extreme draft. She carries a 250 Dies engine, and can cruise under power alone for 3000 miles at eight knots; wail she can extend her radius indirectly. She carries two laboratories, and can sail on her radios for twelve or sixteen persons. TAXI!
