MONDAY, JANUARY 12. 1931 WE HOPE THEY'VE MADE UP THEIR MINDS The decision handed down by the Big Six eligibility committee early Saturday night was doublesided greeted with varying reactions. To some it may have been merely what was indicated on the surface - Kamas had lived up to the letter of the law. To others it may have signified the advent of a more liberal interpretation of the rules regarding the eligibility, and may have may have recognized the decision as an intimation of a loss of nerve on the part of the committee. Probably the suggestion that the decision heralds a more liberal interpretation of the rules has some basis. There can be no question that a strict application of the present rules is futile as well as foolish. Strictly speaking, a boy "sublidized" by his own father would be ineligible. Among the Summerfield scholars at the University are several potential athletes who would like to compete in some sport, but dare not because they are subjubilized by a scholarship. The committee did not give out the evidence in the case of all eight men who came up for investigation, but in 'the case of William and Kenneth Johnson they showed wise discretion coupled with a liberal application of the rules. It would have been disastrous to the prestige of the eligibility committee permanently to rule these men out of athletic competition on such a trivial infraction of rules as was represented in the charge brought against them. We have no means of judging the weight of evidence submitted in the case of the other six athletes; but we hope that the committee has taken an unequivocal stand on their status. Nothing could be so disturbing to Big Six harmony, and threatening to the committee's prestige, as to have a reopening in the future of the issues on which the committee presumably passed its final word last Saturday. It looks as if Oklahoma would soon be having athletic troubles of her own if the governor carries out all his threats. ANOTHER EUTOPIA? "Machinery has brought it to pass that ours is a new type of poverty and a new type of unemployment. It is the poverty of men who starve in the midst of plenty, the unemployment of men who are told that they are idle because they have produced too much," says Norman Thomas in an article entitled "The Prolt System and Unemployment," published in The Unemployed. This magazine was first conceived last November and the first issue was published within a week after its conception. Among its contributors are such national figures as Heywood Brown, Norman Thomas, Paul Blanchard, and Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick. It represents a departure from established social and economic concepts which as yet has gained little favor with the governing powers of our nation. But without question many of its critiques of our present system are amply justified. Other than mere criticism, the article by Paul Blanchard entitled "Let's Build a World Without Unemployment" represents an interesting plan which seems altogether reasonable and practicable. "The first essential of a world with out unemployment," he says, "would be a frank facing of ugly facts." Uncoubtedly, the attempts of press agents in hush up the truth about unemployment for political party prestige and in order to maintain the price levels of stocks and bonds, have had vicious effects. The stock-market crash would never have reached such colossal proportions, had not our financial moguls suppressed the true conditions prevail during the period of the greatest bull market in history. Secondly, Mr. Blanchard advises the formation of a National Planning Board with power and authority to prevent the launching of new industrial enterprises in a field already sufficiently filled to supply the demand. Such a board could prevent the production of a useless surplus, insure permanency of occupation to the laborer, and stop payment of dividends to the stockholder until each laborer had been assured a permanent and living wage. The final recommendation of Mr. Blanchard is that every able-bodied adult should be compelled to do some productive work. He sums up his proposals with the statement, "Today government is subservient to big business; then government would need to be the master of all large-scale business enterprises." Without question the observations and proposals of Mr. Blairchard and his associates are subject to the frailties of the human organism. But it is doubtful if these men can be further from the truth than the men responsible for our economic and social system as it now functions. The present conditions would seem to justify their conclusions, and it may be that they herald a new era of social and economic relations. The thoughtful freshman says the professors evidently don't think they can find out how little he knows in his finals so they are giving several extra exams on the side. BACKGROUND Excercet Haldiman, 17-year-old Kansan youth now serving a life sentence at Larning for the murder of a filling-station attendant, whimpers: "A man oughtn't to run with a填写-like that." Haldiman refers to Fern McNabb, 14-year-old Kansas City girl, who was probably one of his incentives to slay a bakerywagen driver in Kansas City last month. He lamentes that she had a bad influence on him and had got him into a great deal of trouble. Haldiman and the girl are both quite young—even as college students do. Neither has any background; this is clearly evident when the tale of what they did to get thrills is revealed. They live for the moment and hoped to snoop out of each succeeding hour come novelly they had never exp Men and women who go to college have an unusual opportunity to acquire and cultivate a worthwhile background. By association with each other and with instructors, the greater number of college students are able to realize that novelties and thrills soon wear away. After four years, even necking parties and cladetime drinking lose their attraction. Stripping the glamor from a life lived for thrills alone is one of the chief accomplishments of college. In that respect, we trust that it succeeds even better than the institution at Lansing. The snow last week aroused the question of whether students should be allowed to park their cars behind the crane building on days when the weather is bad. There is no good reason why students should be forced to park their cars on the edge of the campus and then walk this added distance even in good weather, when this space is not all used. And then there's that person in every class room who always interrupts the lecture to tell of something that happened to him. We recommend despairing. MORE PARKING SPACE The ground has been prepared for use as a parking space. No additional expense would arise. And it would be a great convenience to who do those not have parking licenses. It seems foolish to park a car in the street west of the campus when there is plenty of available space behind the engine building. Some sort of an arrangement could be made whereby a small flag could be placed near the drive on days when it is deemed advisable to allow students to park there. Authority for free parking could be vested in one of the University officers and the actual work of putting out the banner could be left to one of the custodians. And just because we must study and do try, we get sleepy. There is no justice. HALL OF FAME Within the next night, the names of 10 former editors of Kansas, nominated by living editors, will be sent to the Quarter Century club of the state who will select two or three for the Kansas editorial hall of fame. The project is sponsored by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalistic fraternity. It will be interesting to know what editors are considered by their contemporaries as having done the most outstanding work in the newspaper field. Some of those selected may have been famous for meritorious enterprise in the news columns, others may have been vigorous editorial writers, and still others may have entered the political realm for which they are remembered. At all events, Kansas is to have a memorial comparable to those of Ohio and Illinois. The project has been favorably received not only in Kansas, but in other states as well, and Sigma Delta Chi is to be congratulated for its initiative and activity in the undertak- So Rudy has insured his life for 1/4 million. We wonder how he manages to get along with himself. Why can't this perfectly perfect weather hold off till after finals, when it could be appreciated? Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: --- Should the coaches adhere to conference rulings so rigidly that they lean over backwards in avoiding the appearance of evil? If the rules are to be enforced severely, that's what they must do. At Kansas athletes above suspicion. A student contemplating entering any school ordinarily receives more attention than heads of that school than coaches are seemingly allowed to extend to pros. If the athlete department were not considerate of the interests of the student, it would be more likely that if it frowned on the assistance and co-operation given them by friends, alumni, and local business men it would have been less effective. It does the opposite it is "panned" by the conference faculty committee. What are the coaches to do when they see a team that is "panicked" by Even though careful scrutiny of the conference is necessary to keep athletes in its proper realm, the coaches must make sure that they legitimately for theirubious conduct, if any. Editor Daily Kansan: Now, if such statements are taken as accusation, and the writer is asked to prove them, then it is hard to term activities of the athletic department as "dubious," his defense is that a person may have some good intentions or reasons for real proof cannot be established. Not even the eligibility committee could have been enough to declare any player eligible. M. B. Our Contemporaries Of course other athletic staffs are guilty, and may they get their skangings soon; but the purpose of this misimplication is that the official committee's use of the rod. Members of the eligibility committee didn't turn out to be such *cut threats* as some expected. The way they worked was a bit messy, and so she would have been pitiful, but the way in which they actually handled the difficulty deserves commendation. She said that she was "sorcered and perhaps justly." The individual athletes were not disqualified from collegiate competition and made an astonishing conduct of the athletic department. (The New York Herald-Tribune) Let us get straight on sports. If we continue to play along as we have been doing for over the past decade, up of even more hypocrisy. There are millions of devotees of sports in this country. The numbers will increase, but we hope also that they will play games for the fun they get out of them and not for some ulceration. M. B. SPORTS We are enthusiastically in favor of professional sports. We enjoy professional baseball, horse racing, prize fighting, and even wrestling. But wherever money or its equivalent is the sole reason for competition we must recognize that we are recognizing the fact that we are sitting on a business deal. To avoid indimention on the ground that we have generalized too much, we make the reservation that the difference between work and play is the difference between work and play. We expect to be paid when we work; we expect to play when we play.

We are not going to waste any sympathy on the boys who wear their way up there, but they will be wearing us or we throw a bricklet at us if we did. Our interest is in the confusion of thought which cannot see the difference between two things — namely because it is a pleasant thing to do and another policy which says that we should avoid sharing a pair of taps, a deep chest or some other physical asset I must capitalize them instead of the gray matter God Himself has given us. The moment is the moment that so many super youngsters are the victim of their elders—men who are prepared to surrender. In sports competitors give of their beet, their last breath, their very heartbeats, until the cinders of the track blind their eyes; they ought to give for something more than money. (From The Unemployed) There is not enough bread to go around. Economists explain that this is because of the overproduction of wheat. Yo, ho! Mr. Ripley. There are 7,000,000 or 11,000,000 unemployed in the United States. Some say 7, some 11. It depends on whether the state or the members of Presidential commissions.
