"RUGGED INDIVIDUALISM"
Writers whose interest in the present unemployment crisis is more than a passing fancy poised on President Herbert Hoover's recent declaration that "rugged individualism" is the elemental characteristic of American men and women. Whatever Mr. Hoover implies by "rugged individualism" he offers by his philosophy and his methods of alleviating the present depression. Obviously his major policy has been to oil the wheels of Big Business. To the seven and half million of unemployed men, such a policy is only of temporary benefit. The story of production with no bayers is banal today, but it raises grave doubts as to the President's remedy of "rugged individualism" such as characterized the pioneers who built this country. Modern well-being hinges on industry. When the wheels of labor are set in motion, then Americans will again be "rugged," provided they have means whereby they can buy and consume.
Grover Cleveland declined an LD degree from Harvard because he believed himself unworthy. The truth is Cleveland was never much of a hand at picking a Yale lock.
LA MANANA-
The Men's Student Council formed a committee early in the year to study and advance a means of solving the unemployment situation on the Hill. Like all committees, it conferred repeatedly. Reports appeared occasionally; the committee solemnly released the information that unemployment was still rife hereabouts. Then, several weeks ago, the Council heard the statements of the original committee on unemployment, and striding forward vigorously, the men's governing body appointed another committee composed of nine persons whose function was "to hear complaints and find more jobs." From all appearances time, infinity, and committees walk in-hand, whether they be at Washington, Topkea, or Lawrence.
Thiefs robbed the pay telephone booth on the floor above a Kansas City police station. Right over the law's nose, as it were.
THE CHALLENGE OF COMMUNISM
A Russian salad and the Russian situation have two things in common.
Both of them are made up of many ingredients, and while the salad is hidden under a sea of mayonnaise the situation in the land of communists is pretty completely obscured by propaganda.
Enough reliable news has leaked out, however, to alarm some citizens of the United States. There is an indication, growing constantly stronger, that communism may succeed, and that it is even now proving practicable. This is disturbing news, because communism, if successful, challenges our civilization. It is directly opposed to our most cherished ideals, and disregards the tenets upon which we build our institutions. Private enterprise which enables some of us to get motor cars, buy fur coats, and pile up bank accounts, is out of the question in Russia. There is no private ownership.
Religion has not fared so well, and conflicting reports are that there is no organized religion, that the churches
are still functioning, that religion is still in existence even though the church is in disreputhe. Perhaps one knows the true status of religion in Russia but most people suspect that the commun-
A detached observer might wonder why we are unwilling to tolerate any idea which even remotely suggests communism. Our capitalistic system, with unemployment, child labor, and the submerged tent, certainly leaves plenty of room for improvement. Old fashioned "ole time" religion seems hard to meet the needs of some moderns. Our method of enacting and enforcing laws is sadly in need of repair when it allows vice rings and Al Capones to exist and when enforcing the penal code leads to the frequent prison riots which occur.
In Russia is an experiment in communism. Why can't we watch it, judicially, and see if there are suggestions that might help in the solution of our own problems? Why can't the world work out its social problems in as calm a manner as its scientific experiments? The only reason is prejudice. Communism's biggest challenge is to our tolerance.
Sergius P. Grace in his lecture gave a demonstration of scrambled speech. You can hear that any day in an elementary German class.
CONSISTENT DR. TARR
CORRECTIVE DE LA TURN
Dr. W, A Warr, the Philo Vance of Big Six athletes, is one gentleman who never steps out of character. After he instigated the investigation into James Aloysius Bauch's amateur standing, he stood fast and saw it through. Nor did he halt with Bauch. He scratched the whole Jayhawker roster of athlete. Doctor Dart has, since the winter months came on, been less of a news source than formerly, but just the ode, day, to show he was still his old imdigible self, he travelled over to Kansas City, viewed the National Amateur Basketball Tournament, and shaking his head pessimistically, declared that the whole affair was "rank professionalism" Doctor Dart, it appears, thinks the Midas touch rests on every man or
Midas touch rests on every man or organization that participates in athletics.
CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES
Mr. Grace could have told whether Wordworth was telling the truth when he said his heart leapt up when he beheld a rainbow in the sky.
CONSERVATION OF RESOURCES
Hoover's committee on the conservation and administration of the public lands, the least way to conserve the mineral resources of the country is to give most of its public domain to the various states, saying that the resources would remain under federal control.
The principal objection to this plan is that the states having divers ideas about conservation will not follow the original plans for saving a little bit of America's richest for coming generations. The states having the minerals naturally wish to become the richest and most powerful in the Union quickly, and when they seem to have an inexhaustible supply of something, there is the great temptation to use it all immediately. It is unfortunate that posterity cannot cast a vote today to save something for later years.
Bankers track meet was held in Chicago recently. Well, bankers in Chicago should learn to run.
DEPORTATION
He is a communist and formal naval officer of Austria-Hungary. His acts would no doubt have endangered many lives if none were lost. His conscience forced him to confide his secret and it happened that his confidants were agents for the federal department of justice.
Paul P. Kassay, *n worker in the Goodyear plant has confessed to a pool of destroying one of the largest dirigibles ever built. In the construction of it he confessed he left out many rivets to the strainer. He also stated that the water was put into the air he was getting into the control vents and站 all fight.
Departure would be the only alternative to rid the country of him. His associates who are endangering his country should be treated similarly.
Any suggestions as to what to put into the student hospital corner stone?

IS THE CRISIS PASSED?
If present reports are to be accepted, with a great degree of faith in their consumption, the economic illness which has ravaged this country is shattering, and the outlook is much more cheerful than it has been for some time.
Plans for the building of one 250-million dollar project, "Road City," in New York, insures work for 25,000 men within the next three years. Other fat contracts are being let all over the country, too.
In Kansas City, the unemployment problem is reduced with the announcement that Howard Hughes, 26-year-old multimillionaire movie producer of "Hell's Angels," is to erect two or three theaters there as new links in his extensive theater chain.
Dr. Julius Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, yesterday told the Detroit Board of Commerce that "we are in the convalescent stage after a prolonged economic illness. Depression has reached or passed its bottom. We shall improve gradually from now on."
The young embryonic business man who is now organizing twenty million dollar corporations in finance classes will be lucky if he gets a $115 a month job.
Which is the bravest group on the campus? The engineers. One of them offered to let Mr. Grace run a high voltage current through his head.

"We hope that none of the criticisms that have been printed in this column have been taken to mean that the judge should be responsible because they are. The critic, in her capacity as judge, is merely jealous of their reputation. She should be to perform."

Can You Trust An Atheist?
The idea of God is being questioned today as never before. Some are seeking to revise their thought of Him to conform to the concept of science. Others say frankly they do not believe in God, or rather a help. Can we have religion without God?
Humanism, the new religion which is rapidly winning the allegiance of intelligent America, has a definite answer to these questions. You are invited to hear it presented by E. Burdure Backer, of Los Angeles, at the

Striking a balance for a $4,000,000,000 industry
“On a large scale” describes accounting in the Bell System, whose properties cost more than $4,000,000,000.
On the outge side are, for example, four or five hundred million dollars annually for new construction; vast sums for keeping telephone equipment in good order; a payroll running into hundreds of millions a year. Under income are such diverse items as a few cents for a local telephone call, or thirty dollars and upward for a call to a city across the Atlantic.
The men responsible for this phase of the telephone business have worked out scientific methods of control—but their effort to refine old practices and devise new ones goes on. The opportunity is there!
