Yesterday his cronies inadvertently threw his six-pound medicine ball overboard, and Hoover stood by, in articulate and, according to reports, unperturbed. Reputations are rarely stable trees; the wagging of tongues gives them an almost daily fluctuation; but no American has known, within recent years, the loss of a once great fame more than the President. A decade ago Hoover's name was synonymous with humanitarianism, economic foresight, and stability. Today mention him in connection with humanitarianism, and your hewer will call to light the drouth fasco. Speak of economic foresight, and you receive a derivative on Muscle Sheets. Luud Hoover's stability and almost any citizen will cite a dozen mistakes he has made in his administration. The new hospital is bringing satisfaction already—several classes have been dismissed because of the noise from the steam shovel excavating for its foundation. The fate of the depression has made his plight what it is. The country is snaring with several antagonistic factions, and each of them concentrates more on the President than upon his opponents. However's effect that by aiding big business he would throw open more employment has been attacked not only by economists but by the deep voice of the working masses. Some people view his predicament with pity, others with sympathy, while still a third class considered that he should leave the country, vacation for a while, and return. He left the country. But his every move is properly recorded on the front pages. Yesterday he lost his medicine ball, and today the majority of our 129 million people are aware of that loss. Our idea of the Hill's greatest optimist is the man who keeps trying to repair the typewriters in the Kansan news room. STOP, LOOK, LISTEN If the number of deaths in Kansas City resulting from automobile accidents increases through the remaining nine months of 1831 at the rate of the first three, there will be 40 more people who will lose their lives than there were last year. To date there have been 31 deaths from car accidents as compared with 18 at this same date last year. A new record was reached last year with the total of people killed. With such an increase thus far this year, by the time the year has been recorded the total number killed will be astounding. Recently a law was passed in Kansas City which abolished the speed limit. As long as a person does not drive carelessly and recklessly, he may drive as fast as he likes. According to a report from an insurance company, more accidents and deaths occur on Sunday than any other day of the week, despite the fact that on the Sabbath there is less traffic congestion in towns and cities and are fewer pedestrians abroad. fewer pedestrians abroad. In Kansas City Sunday two people were killed and two others injured. The day before, one person but his life and two companies were seriously injured. With such accounts of accidents and deaths and so many pictures of wrecked cars in the newspapers, people near Kansas City will be afraid to visit it. They have reason to be afraid. Money is not plentiful for all, yet almost everyone would much rather wreck his motor car and save himself than suffer injury or death. New cars can be bought, but the human being cannot be replaced. Stop, look, and listen, and then drive care- It's spring all right—the relays stickers and streamers are with us again. Woman Pursued a Thief—Headline Just some women's taste! "Amusement to an observing mind is study"—Benjamin Disraeli. This is a good excuse for spring loading. "Store Tossed a Block"—Headline in Salina Journal. Beware! Stores have started throwing things, too. Rosevelt, Walker, Tammany, Rascob, Smith, Owen D. Young—six horns of a dilemma. The Kansas City newspapers have something to print again, now that another woman has killed her husband. State supreme court of California decided that the owner of a wooden leg is entitled to damage if he breaks it in the course of his employment. But it makes no provision for men with block beads. "Whatever a woman does she does whole-hoggedly, from falling in love to having babies and running a career," writes a woman author. Even the career-crazy obsession is discernible among our campus women, what with political plums and fraternity jewels to go for. Campus Opinion DEATH OF A ROMANCE editor Daily Kansan; Very nearly missed seeing the editorial in tomska 'Kansas headened 'Conversely, I hadn't noticed them at all, just as I was getting ready to put up the paper and go to sleep, my friend asked me, "Why don't know why, (forgotten my psych)," I had a funny feeling that the aforementioned individual was none other than my friend. He deeply infatuated during summer school last summer; and after reading the article, I find I was correct in my thought. I'm just a poor, common college student who doesn't break into print often. But I do my best when I realized that about seven inches of the editorial column of the seminary is written for me and to me and my summer school papers. Make me feel like Gandhi, or Jim Rutledge. I'd rather say nothing more about R₂ the young lady of the story; I've tried so hard to burrow, but also, woe is it to you that she had dear Ed. I was swellly nice to her). Well, thanks for your patience. Hope I haven't taken too much of your time. Thank you. NOISES FROM THE KITCHEN Editor Daily Kansas: Last night the Graduate club met together in the Cafeteria to eat and then went home. The first part of the evening was a success, at least from the food viewpoint, and And so it continued on through the greater part of the reading. The kitchen help were evidently dishrous and in need of cleaning, so pauses to hide their louse or noise. Dishes jarred against each other, the silverware tumbled over and over the four-decked loading cart squeaked and grumbled in turn as it bounced. Professor Crafton had been asked to read "The Terror Meek" and after a brief introduction he arrose and began. It sounded something like this: "My Crash-tinkle—the play is meant to be Br-r-crash—rumble—tinkle." The Scene of the play is laid-Rattle-rattle-Tinkle… There are three voices to be heard, the voice of *R-r-r-crash* CRASH-tinkle—rattle, rattle-tinkle—etc. etc. And we must be there—well, we must be thankful that Mr. Crrafton is not temperamental enough to refuse to play, but we can still hear the near the close of the play, the noise began to subside somewhat and the rest of the evening was a huge success. We all knew the play was always been a great admirer of his skill, and last night's play was another Classes in casualty insurance and investments will be adjourned at 12 o'clock on March 31 to permit the Business students enrolled in three classes to attend the meeting for the nomination of officers of the Associated Students of the School of Business.

I would have been almost alone in the room. So we walked out and then. So we only sat quiet until finally the chairman awaived and thanked Mr Barnard. Yes, it was a wonderful meeting, altogether, but may something or someone rescue me from any future meet-up. Or maybe I will be the component. Or may I make the suggestion that the eating implements and music will at least be on pitch. As I see it, the independent group as was founded offers the utmost in training and development to has submitted a nucleus for an organization that can develop much strength and accomplish much. It has stated its objectives in this way: material strides to further certain of them. Its leadership is excellent. Its methods and principled operationalization its failure is only to be considered when its fundamentals become well understood During the past few weeks has come an organization on our "Hill" that promises to extend both the political and the social welfare of the non-fra- One Who Was There. MORE LOCAL POLITICS Editor. Daily. Kansan: I commencement the newly organized non-fraternity group with hope, and with an inspiration to further, as best I may in my seclusion, the plight of my unorganized fellows. Action upon this impulse is evidenced by this writing. This being my first year on the Hill, and as a non-fraternity man with insufficient acquaintance to cause any harm to me, I left with me for consideration. I have merely been an interested bystander in the little games that are constantly in progress about us. Hence this recourse to expression of my humble convictions. The oncoming election intrigues me. I await it with zealous interest. I shall vote in accordance with my views of liberty, benefit, and all obey, all honest. Our undertaking is one demanding a policy based upon high ideals, unaffasible, and honest labor. It can accomplish its aim only through the cultivation of those fields once they have been acquired. A selfish barter will instilize its collapse. It must be an unverifying organization of non-fraternity men for the benefit of non-fraternity men by the institution of its own ideals and resources. Sincerely, L. L. T To the independents I extend my highest hopes and sympathies for their success. May such an institution en- educe to the pleasure of equality and fulfillment, by making humble individuals. May it ever reflect the spirit of humanity through democra- cy, adherence to principle, and rigid truth, being entirely remote from self- knowledge, among its leaders and within its ranks, we employing its virtue as its support.
