COLLECTIVIZED FARMING
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7.1930
Russia is inaugurating a new system in dealing with the vast amount of Soviet land. It is forming large tracts into state farms, sovkhoz, as they are called, under the management of one man, and hiring men to do the work. The results are that more efficient and more modern methods are used, the average yield has been doubled, and the inhabitants are provided with work that pays adequately.
The "Gigan" soothor, the largest one, consists of 550,000 acres, seven times larger than any farm outside of Russia. In it is a city of 17,000, made up of employees and their families, resembling the model towns that have grown up around the factories in our own country. The houses are three story concrete buildings, heated from a central station. Each farm has its own railroad and its own telephone system.
The employees are a city type and dress like city people. They work eight hours a day and receive extra pay for overtime. Nine months of each year are spent in the fields, two months repairing machinery and the other month goes for vacation—ideal farming and living conditions.
First the Russians must learn to use machinery with greater care before the plan will work, economically. Many implements were spilled, overworked and worn out this year in order to achieve record figures to impress Moscow authorities.
Time will prove whether the new system will be satisfactory; meanwhile all the other grain-producing areas of the world are watching Russia.
Overcomes a Bear—headline. The gentlemen who performed this feat should tell President Hoover how to do it. The President doesn't care for bears, either.
COMMUNITY HEALTH SERVICE
About a hundred years ago schools were owned and managed by private individuals. They differed greatly among themselves in their standards and in their accomplishments. As a whole they were a very unsatisfactory lot. Later every citizen was taxed, and a system of public schools was started. The plan has proved to be satisfactory.
The present status of the medical profession is in a stage comparable to that of the schools of a hundred years ago. Of course there are ethical standards and certain tests that physicians and surgeons must meet, but the profession is unco-ordinated. Prices vary widely and each individual proceeds largely in his own fashion. Only about five per cent of the people get adequate health service; they are for the most part the ones with plenty of money. The rest, having no surplus, let their health go, or see a quick if they feel it absolutely necessary to do something.
Free medical clinics, like our student hospital, would help to modernize the situation. They could be supported by taxes, as are the schools. Then the great number who skimp on their health need not offer the excuse that they need the money for other things.

He probably neglected his housework something terrible.
AFFAIRS IN CUBA
On top of the serious economic difficulties in Cuba due to overproduction of sugar, great political trouble it brews. There are two strong opposing parties in Cuba; that of President Machado, and that of the Nationalists. Some ardent Nationalist supporters among the Cuban University students participated in a riot recently. One person was killed and several injured, when police were ordered to fire into the crowd of students.
New Machado has demanded suspension of constitutional guarantees. This means that citizens of the Havana district, numbering about 600,000, will lose the right to vote at the coming election. There is to be suppression of newspapers and of meetings. It is in Havana that the opposition groups have their stronghold, and there most of the anti-government demonstrations have taken place in the past. It is said that the executive only intended to use power "in case of extreme emergency". His enemies, however, think that he did this for the purpose of assuring the election for himself.
In previous years the United States government has supported the Machado government. Although Hoover is not believed to favor his regime, the Nationalists are afraid to start anything near the United States will intervene.
The State department, in its turn, is careful, for it does not want to choose between support of the Machado diplomatic, whose methods it cannot approve, or, on the other hand, deliberately stir up a revolution. Revolution, it is feared, means danger to American property, of which there is plenty in Cuba. Naturally Americans with property interests in Cuba will do all in their power to influence the United States to aid in averting the revolution.
Certainly our government should not support a party which it does not itself approve merely for the selfish purpose of protecting money interests of a few of its citizens. A foreigner who owns land in America does not depend on his country to protect it; we would not stand for a foreign army invading our land for such a purpose. It is to be hoped that we shall not interfere in the affairs of Cuba. Why not let the island exercise its privilege as an independent state and run its own politics?
Some student preacher says that the rent difference in youth of today and our parents' day is due to science. ooh! we didn't know science couldork such marvelous improvements!
A SUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT?
There have frequently been heated meetings of freshmen to stir up rebellion against hazing. Almost every year some of the freshman arise, vow eternal warfare, and then let their enthusiasm die out. Seldom do they succeed in protecting themselves.
Freshmen are new, unorganized; they are divided among themselves as to bother to "take their medicine" or resist. The result has always been at the upperclassen have had little position.
The letter to the Kansean which was published yesterday may really mean something or it may not. The group of 31 freshmen who propose to do hazing on their own side are merely advocating fighting fire by fire.
Freshman paddling will not be stoped, in all probability, until upper-clastern come to realize that it brutalizes their own spirits; that it, in certain individual cases, at least, has by no means a constructive effect; that it destroys certain rights which America has long held axiomatic; and that it is not a disciplinary measure but fundamentally an expression of revenge.
That method has been tried; it has failed. Perhaps the freshmen should try something else—and for their consideration we offer Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader, who adopts the principle of "passive resistance." He rises above his enemies by not designing to struggle.
We trust the 31 freshmen who wrote the letter will remember how they feel now when they become upperclassman. We trust the poor sort of weapon in every respect.
They tell us that back in 600 B. C., Thales, the Greek philosopher got a corner on the wheat market. Not even the speculators can claim to be doing anything original.
"All the world loves a lover." How trite that is, and yet we confess to a great interest in the Sour Owl's companion, the most perfect lover on the campus.
What constituteth the perfect lover? Is it his love, his looks, his self, or his ability to neck? We confess ignorance; we have no criterion by which to judge. Some enterprising person should purchase a copy of all the popular songs that have been published up to date and make an abstract of all the desirable qualities that are mentioned therein as being sought in a lover. Each time a certain quality is mentioned, he should mark it with a line; and after a time, S. A., let us say, would be marked IIIII II; and Strong Arms were marked: IIIII I; and Curly Blond Hair were marked: IIIII III; and so on, ad infinitum. Then our judgers would have some sort of popular standard to go by.
PERFECT LOVERS
But no matter what happens, the most loving pair, when they are picked, will not measure up to the absolute ideals of the contest. There will be millions of campus folk who will short in derision and say, "If those are perfect lovers, Pheebun Apollo" Indeed, yed himself will conceive superiority in that direction to nobody.
You needn't take it so serious because you guessed wrong on the world serics.
I don't claim to represent the Freshman class, or even any small group. I am just another Freshman who deserves that respect. I'm too lowchiefness. I feel safe in saying that the majority of our class are proud of the University's tradition, as we should be, and men are enough to take our medicine, laugh it off and shake us up.
Campus Opinion

Such articles by unauthorized members of the class should not be tolerated, because it gives the impression to me that we of 31 are a bunch of rotters.
University students know that it is a lot of rot and non-sense and a huge joke. However the rest of the class should not be made to be the bleast of the home laughs that this disqualify students should receive from upperclassmen.
The sore head who announced such elaborate plans to stop hazing, in an underhand way, probably received the attention of the staff, who devoted at home. This group should be shouldered by the class and if they start a rough-house, which they won't, we loyal Fresh should train them in the life of their life by giving them a good throbbing.
Don't forget, you of the unlawful job spirit, that your conduct is unlawful when it goes against it, alling as you. You may be all right in any way, but you may have ways. F. L. B.
Our Contemporaries
It has been a conceived (sic) fact for a number of years that some of the most enthusiastic youth attend the University of Kannan, and always thought that these were kept away from the college paper. But with the help of many young people, the "Poor Manhattan" and offering many suggestions concerning the escape of students from the university, it must be true that they allow this far from level-minded class to hang around the office of the University Daily Kannan-
CARRYING THINGS TOO FAR
Always has this layout from down the Kaw tried to poke fun at the little student. He made a funny deevor to make the students of the agricultural college feel a bit bad. "farmers" have been taken up by newspaper writers of the state. There is no blame to the city of Lawrence—they cannot come there to school. It can't be blamed on the university for they are out to get another school. The whole blame goes back to the attitude which the ordinary student from the University of Kansas

State Agricultural college officials are proud of the fact that the institution is situated in a town like Manhattan. The students may be "just common folks" who feel right in a "soup and fish" but after all, there is not the spirit of empathy that exists at Mt. Oread. Not every fraternity man thinks his group is the only one and will scarcely speak to anyone else on the non-fraternity group with scorn and feel that they are so much lower than themselves. It is a rather "happy

This college spirit is a great thing—where it is carried too hard, and one of our schools makes it time for ridiculing the city in which the opposing institution is so enthusiastic. When the institution be turned over to the sophisticated and epistolatic and let it 'go to
Alice, poor us! Our friendly suggestions to the city of Manhattan went astray. Now if we had a budget escape from our nonexistentzoe and the Manhattan Chronicle should offer us advice so that we do, we should feel delighted, not nervous.
Our rivalry with Manhattan is fun-

sport for agriculture as the foundation
of this nation, and for the Karmens Axe-
Kansas as much as K. U. does. We are proud that it takes its rank as one of the greatest and best institutions of its kind in the country.
The Chronicle is too pessimistic. The government is not ready to "go to the dogs." The God's still in his heaven. Perhaps the Chronicle would do well to read more of Mark Twain and Will O'Rourke in order to create a sense of 'juper.'

What's inside?
The woman who started out to fill her library only with books with red bindings, or books whose names suggest red—"Red Pepper Burns." "The Song of the Cardinal." "The Scarlet Letter"—made a whim the basis of her choice. She wasn't particularly interested in the merits of those books. Her aim was to fill up space.
Yet when you buy books, you are concerned with what's inside them. And when you buy a lightshield, a refrigerator, a radio—you want wiser than whimsy buys. You want to know the inside goodness of those products, know it before you buy them, be persuaded by what's inside. You may hesitate between two flashlights. You can't tell by the appearance which is good, or which is better. Advertisements could tell you. They point out the underneathness of a product. The truths you can see, and the truths you can't see. The amount and strength of service to expect of what you see. Not just a refrigerator—but how long the ice lakes in it, how it makes lettuce crisp. And not only the now inside merits, but the future inside merits. It's these unseen nows and futures that make a product worth its price.
