TWO FACULTIES OF AMERICA:
The United States has divided itself suddenly into two factions. The one is predicting that the economic crisis will soon know recovery, and the other group is avidly reading the optimistic reports sent by out of the other. The most current words are "panicicky psychology," "consumption with adequate means," "over-production," and "appreciable degree of recovery." The only publication that has not devoted at least a part of its space to the crisis is Bernard MacFadden's "True Love Romances." It will necessitate a complete change in the foliows of man before Mr McFadden and his crew loss of theparamotion emotion in life
Spying is the profession to which every stenographer eventually aspires, declares a Kanaan correspondent. If that is true, it refutes the old belief that every stenographer awaits a chance at a good heartbal proceeding in the court room.
Yesterday a young man on the HI whose reputation for dependability is excellent told us that he had beer fighting an "urge to wander" for several weeks. Spring, he considered, has always evoked a desire for movement within him; he is sure the feeling is not, as pests might lead us to think, a result of those romantic notions springtime occasionally engenders. The names of distant places become alluring; he gets a deep pleasure out of trying to visualize Bombay, Singapore, Buenos Aires, Constantinople. The thin shrillness of a train whistle strikes into a restless melancholy. Once he thought the years would eventually dissolve his increasable demand to travel, but instead each succeeding spring finds him more open to its invitation than the year before.
AN URGE TO WANDER
We could offer him no adequate solution by which he might solve his problem. His is not a personal case; we are sure the same "urgue to wander" lays within every man and woman. The winter months have the capacity to make familiar faces and familiar things a bit dull through their daily appearances, and the constant repetition is enough to call forth a desire for a new town, a new people, and a new routine. We suppose that it is that "urgue to wander" that motivated Marcel Polo, Columbus, De Soto, and Byrd, and it is highly probable their decisions to discover new countries were crystallized during the spring season.
In Detroit a golf factory exploded. The noise was probably no louder than that emitted by a golfer who misses a short putt at a crucial stage in his match with one of his cronies.
THE KANSAS
THE KANSAS PERSONAL PROPERTY TAX
The Kansas personal property tax should be abolished. Not only is it based on unbound principles, but it is not enforced.
The law puts a premium on extravagance and penalizes thrift. It taxes, not the man who has had plenty of money to spend for favories or vices, but the one who by hard work has saved up enough money to provide for himself and his family in his old age.
It is true that this year the tax on money on deposit in banks has been reduced from a rate at which the depositor often paid out more in taxes than he received in interest, to the "intagliabile" rate, but this is no guarantee that this rate will continue in force. Further, this reduction, the purpose of which is admittedly to induce more persons to declare their assets, betrays another gross fault of the method.
It is practically impossible under the personal property tax system for the assessor to ferret out all of the property held. Banks cannot be compelled to disclose the deposits of their customers, and washing machines and modern appliances have a way of disappearing until the storm blows over. There may be virtues in a personal property tax, but most persons feel that the tax is unfair and act accordingly.
The remedy for the present situation lies in the enactment of a graduated income tax, a constitutional amendment for which it is to be submitted to the voters at the next election. This amendment was defeated by a small majority in November, chiefly because the public was given no guarantee that the income tax would not be merely an additional tax, instead of a substitute for taxes we now have. It is to be hoped that it will fare better the next time it is brought up.
A rich man in Canada has offered a fortune to the woman in that province who has the largest number of children born during the next ten years. Both democracy and loyalty to the Crown.
CONCERNING A GIRL NAMED RUTH
Every college student who has bought books at the exchange at second-hand has duality run across markings and odd thoughts recorded on the margins of his volume. Yesterday we were thumping through John Dewey's "The Public and its Problems," a text of ours that we have not yet *as* read two audaciously, on when page 58 the beautifully written word "Ruth" appeared. Thereafter, in the upper corner of every page, the feminine appellation was permed, until on page 74 it monumentalized the page for the fact. The reason for its sudden denience is not inexplicable. Along the margin, beneath that last "Ruth," there runs note that says.
"Thursday~ July 30th, 1926. In Pub Opin, class now. Can hardly keep awake. Behind thinking about Ruth ever after her last nite--Gee! she's wonderful!"
The former owner of our book, from page 74 on, has shrouded himself in mystery. The only other markings he has made are to underline fragments of Mr. Dewey's arguments, and write "Imp." out at the side. The "Imp." we are sure, has nothing to do with Ruth, but instead means "important." We are certain that on a hot day, July 30th, 1930, to be exact, some young fellow sat over in West Administration, building and thought long sweet thoughts about a girl named Ruth, eventually going to sleep with her lovely and wonderful presence lodged in his reflections.
"A large number of freshmen have to be taught to write checks when they first come to the university," said the cashier of the student bank at Christian University in Texas. And a lot of freshmen receive full instructions from home after the first month's checking is over, too.
We hand in papers late or don't hand them in at all. We do half our assignments and go to bed at the first yawn. If the work piles up we say we need relaxation, so we take ourselves down to the show and stop in for drink afterwards.
THE SAME OLD RACKET
When we're late to class, it's the clock. When we fall asleep, it's the air. When we don't understand what is said, it's the instructor. When we get a low mark because we've too many cuts, "it the system." We spend the nights before quizzes playing bridge and then "hit them wrong."
Philosophers say we're rationalizing—others, more abrupt, call it plain laziness.
And some people think the sailors in the navy are called "gobs" because there are so many of them.
Blue gloves trimmed with white are very smart, according to recent fashion notes. The man who shovels coal in our cellar has been wearing that combination many years.
An all-court Nebraska athlete and five other students have been arrested for questioning in connection with a raid by the Lincoln police on a "beer-flat." The youths pleaded not guilty, but they have since been to college. We have known some to plead otherwise, after the style so aptly depicted in college novels.
An elderly lady declared yesterday that she had never drank a cup of coffee until after her marriage. In her voice there was a note of pride as if the whole issue of sanity was lodged in her youthful restraint from the fluid 'oncocled from the demon coffee bean.
Plain Tales
---
"The most striking lead for this story would be to say that if deaths from motor car accidents continue to increase because of the increasing risk in the past, at a certain date every person will be either killed or in the hospital," and the feature writing teacher after he had finished reading a story because of the increase in motor car deaths.
The woman student sitting in the far corner of the room objected. "If everyone is killed or injured by a certain person, will be nobody able to drive the cars."
Campus Opinion
THE BINDING PRINTERS Editor Daily Kanyan
What kind of lethargy has overtaken the printer at Topeka where books from the library are sent to be bound?
Our Contemporaries
The library will borrow volumes from Chicago or elsewhere, but these may be kept for only a few weeks, and research costs are high; tools and research suffers just as before.
Scientific periods need desperately by both students and faculty in order to make the most of them, wrestles, while classes are reduced to intelligence lack of the proper readiness.
Something should be done to supply up the process of binding. Supply is often easier when a cloth ever on a book. Can't the library demand a definite date from the bindery and hold the magazines until they are handled within a reasonable time?

COLUMBIA BOYS GOOD PAY They're trusted from Gus the bar tender to John the apple man.
That Oxford University students owe more than $1,000,000 to tradesmen of the old English university town is incredible to Columbia students.
In the first place, they don't believe there's a million dollars. In the second place, they can't conceive of camelot and gold. They shouldn't lend a million dollar's worth of credit. In the third place, Columbia students wouldn't know what to do with a million dollars worth of banana splits, chocolate layer cake and half heap.

"Do you trust students for apples until allowance day?" an apple man at the corner of the campus was asked.
Mistaking the questioner for a student, he extended an idle apple, and made a little notation in his daybook. Fifth Avenue tailors have learned

Senior recruits are often inappropriate to attend, even if the young artist's performances are disappointing. Before the performance begins one may take over the role of lead singer or usherers and the young ladies in the reserved rows. This year they are groomed in raiding semi-Empire creature kits, wearing long white or black kid gloves.
Jean Sehlards was apparently not in good voice last night. Her interpretation of the five groups of songs on her program was ambitious and sometimes moving, but often her voice lacked suction. She had many notes were breathy. They were not "pointed" enough, not sufficiently "Dans la Masque."
To open her program, Miss Sellars sang four Italian folk songs by Donauy. These she gave a genuine Italian coloring. In her German solace she sang the lines "Where was brought out more effectively" "Und Ob Die Wölfe" from "Der Frischutz" (Weber), a gorgeous melody, and "face admirably" "Ach Ihb Fahlt" from "Fahlt" (Achihb Fahlt) took a rather slow tempo for Miss Sellars voice, which is naturally very high and light, and requires concentration. She closed with "Wenn Du Fu Freim Bist" from Mozart's "Don Juan." Helen Stockwell, whose progress on the violin many have been watching, told me that "I had numbers, the 'Andante' from Lohy"
For---the next three songs, "L'Heure Blancieuse" (Stunb), "L'Heure Delicieuse" (Saub), and "Les Filles de la Vie" (Stunb). The first was quiet and restful, with a running accompaniment on the piano; the second, in keeping with its title; and the third.

"Symphonic Espagnole" and "a Walze" by Levittki. Both of these compositions were written in the 18th century, particularly. In contrast with the customary romantic room of this type its music is more complex and dynamic.
Of Mass Sellar's choices from Massenet, "Air - Adieux à Maman" (from "Manon"), which the singer dramatized for his listeners, was the bet-attesting piece in Davutoa, from the same poem, a difficult aria at best, but not entirely smooth.
Friday Noon
We wish there might have been more of the last, the English group. This included "Ah, Thou Beloved One" ("Why So Pale and War") (Mendikoff), a quaint whimsey with a surprise ending; and "On Wings of Morning," by Sheil Larsells close dialect was displayed in two songs. Evelyn Blowt accommodated each.
