MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1930 EXCHANGE DINNERS Last week the sorcerors on the Hill gave their annual Pan-Hellenic exchange dinners. Each house entertained guests from other houses, and in this way new acquaintances were formed and the organizations came to understand and appreciate one another better. Being able to appreciate what someone else is doing is a valuable part of college training; and these dinners bring understanding which amounts to appreciation. DEPARTMENTAL PARTIES There ought to be more such functions, and they ought to be devised to include more students on the Hill. Working in the same department semester after semester with other students under various instructors, one learns to know the wise, the industrious, the inxy, and the erratic. But playing together at a department party for a few hours, more is learned than one could imagine without the actual experience. For at such a time the foolish and the funny, the cut-up and the clown are in evidence; and even the most commonplace person appears in a new guise. The departments of the University have, at different times, held parties and picnics. The democratic spirit fostered and the better understandings made more than pay for the time not to mention the fun. Now the spring is here departmental picnics will be starting—it is for the good o all that everyone attend. THE HAITI SITUATION The relations between the United States and Haiti had their origin in 1915, when a treaty was signed by both countries establishing a protectorate by the United States over Haiti. In 1918 Haiti's present constitution was drawn up, giving her a legislative body of two houses, called the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Members of the lower house are elected for two years and those of the upper house for six years. The president, holding office for two years, is elected by these bodies. The present strained conditions first became serious in the first week of last December, when a number of Huitians were killed by marines occupying the island. Brigadier-General John H. Russell then declared martial law, and as soon as possible President Hoover appointed the Investigating commission, of which William Allen White is a member, to look into the situation. Antione Rigal, who heads seven liberal organizations in Haiti, charges that President Borno is not constitutionally eligible to his position because his father is French. The president must be descended from native Haitians according to the constitution. He also charges that President Borno is a mere puppet in the hands of Brigidier-General Russell, who, he asserts, is a virtual dictator in Haiti. Seymour Predil, chairman of the National League for Constitutional action, warns the Hawer commission that unless Brigadier-General Russell I recalled, and the people of Haiti are allowed to hold a constitutional lection on April 14, they will rise in evolution even though they must face american machine guns. In view of he outbreak in the Dominican republic, it is very likely that this is something more than a mere idle threat. GRUNDY AGAIN So Grundy is back in the lineup again! This time Warren F. Doome, editor of The Manufacturer, a magazine devoted to the interests of high turf, admits before the Senate lobby committee that he is using the office of Senator Grandy for the work of the American turf league. What is the matter with Pennsylvania? And what is the matter with Grundy? Grundy and his gang seem to have the idea that they can use the sponsorship for purely personal motives. No wonder the "wild jackasses" have risen in their wrath again . . . and right so. We send men to congress to look after the interests of our country. We expect them to devote their time and energy to that purpose. We also expect them to expose the conduct of colleagues who do otherwise. Now that Grundy, the erstwhile superlobbyist, stepped into the shoes of Vare, seems to be doing things he shouldn't do, and has been questioned, Pennsylvania is worried. The big financial lions are whining that the common people don't get a square deal—that we haven't men with forsight enough in Congress to demand that the right thing be done. A SOLUTION The proposal that the Farm board send the surplus wheat to the staying Chinese is one of the most humane and praiseworthy solutions offered for the present farm dilemma. But the Board informs us that they did not organize as a charitable institution, and the money to pay for the wheat has to come from somewhere. With thousands starving to death in the Orient and so much surplus foodstuff in America that farmers are worried about the price, it seems as if something should be done to get relief for both parties. The Chinese need to get the wheat; the farmers need to get rid of the wheat. It is the duty of our government to see that the exchange is made, and speedily before more die unnecessarily. The transportation problem is one of the most serious obstacles besides the paying for the wheat. It would probably be fairly easy to get the wheat to the Orient, but there are no adequate facilities to bring it to the starving. We are the richest country in the world, and have added other suffering and starving people in the past; why can't we do so now? FORDISM Make a million dollars and the world takes you for a god. Henry Ford has made his fortune and now turns to other fields to conquer. "History is the bank," he told us, and then started to collecting curios and making a museum. He sees the solution of the farm problem in hard work. He says war is terrible and bad. Sherman said more than that in fewer words. He has devised a diet for everybody. And our cafeteria advertises the fact! He has a plan of education and is going to put it into operation. The first thing he did was to give warning that New Soviet Forges Ahead With Revolt and Devises Plan to Abolish Money Monroe, March 18 (UP)—Bookkeeping will replace billions of rubbish worth of cash transactions under a far-reaching business reform worked out and adopted by the U.S. government. Credit accounts between different State and co-operative institutions and business organizations have been abolished with one stroke of the offi- cation card. he didn't want the advice of educators, "Who probably hadn't made a cent in their lives". What would the old man do? Know about the times anyway? All each account will heretofore be made only through the State hankes, where sales and purchases will be recorded and checked against each other. A farmer living west of Coffeeville started a fire to burn off his pasture and boy scouts put it out, much to the chinquir of the farmer. One good deed deserves another, and the impulse to do a good deed daily probably prompted the boys to light the fire again when they found out their error. "Only one of the patients was idle. This was a prominent member of the Dove staff, whose mind was probably engaged developing accusations to bring against the powers that be" —From a Kansan story on the Student hospital. The next thing Mr. Ford ought to get interested in is evangelical work. He spoke a mechanical contrivance that did more to send men to persecution than any other single misuse. Don't it about time he started atoning for his sins and the sins he caused others to commit? So thinking is idleness! Or maybe there are so many places to bring accentuations that the process is idleness. Either solution looks pretty bad. $25 for Requesting Ride Athens, Ga.—(UPI)-Students of the University of Georgia, the coeds in particular, are going to Athens this weekend. A recent distance passed by the city council makes it illegal for any one to solicit an automobile ride within the city limits. Any speech, motion or action against a vehicle should be considered a violation and subject to a $25 penalty. "Too much kissing has caused an epidemic of trenchmouth at Madison, Wis. Those suffering are chiefly men, the city's mayor, Dr. F. Brown, Madison health officer declared, Trenchmouth is a contagious disease spread by men who kiss women, but more often by kissing, according to dentists. The disease is character-ized by an odor that smells until adults, making the gums look white. The infection is extremely painful, but is easily curbed by gargue and mouth with hydrogen peroxide. We take into consideration the weather in planning our menus. You'll find what you want to eat. If not tell us and we will prepare it. The new credit system as well as the proposed wage readjustments forestward a day fervently desired by many. The money would not be used at all. The official decree introducing the new procedure declares that it is intended to reduce the amount of currency emissions. Since nearly 90 per cent of the total business in the country emits more carbon and co-operative institutions, the amount of currency involved is Their balancing will thus be a matter of book-keeping, the actual currency needed being limited to an absolute minimum. Other schemes for limiting the amount of paper rubies in circulation are under discussion and likely to be adopted in the near future. One of these contempletes the elimination of certain types of all grades of workers. Instead of receiving cash, they are to be credited with the wages in a savings bank. One proposal commented upon favorably by some economists would allow companies to pay workers more money altogether. Workers would receive a card or booklet where their work would be purchased anywhere in the Soviet Union would merely be debited on this plan. But as applied here to the entire internal business of a large nation the bank would have to over, in Russia bank checks are practically unknown to the general public which Banners The idea of banks as a clearing houses for business transactions, obviating the necessity for currency, is certainly not new.

At The Concert By Margaret Kilbourne The program of American compositions, sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha University Auditorium, was well selected and particularly in character "Vermiland," the organ selection, with which Prof. Laurel Anderson and his colleagues worked to hushed, reverential atmosphere. The solo group presented by Charles Sander is part of the interpretation. The first number, "Oh Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be a burden? It has no ability to sustain low notes, and for that reason the second soln, "Serve Hairdressing in Court man", presented as the first number of the string trio accompaniment group, had a sinuous rhythm of melody with a swaying effect of accompaniment which made it delightful. The popular work "Dolphin of Virginia," was particularly well interpreted. In the two-piano grouping presented by Prof. Carl A. Lippert, smoothly flowing movement on the program taken from the work of University composers, had a brilliant, smoothly-flowing movement. Prof. Waldemar Gelch set his usual artistry of performance. The first two movements afforded good contrast with the more restrained, with rather brillant counterpart effects between the melody and the piano accompaniment. The Large Motif with a slow stateliness and almost pleasing melody. It was pleasingly contrasted with the lightness and delicacy of interpretation required for large orchestral music. London, —(UP) —Martin O'Connor, attorney for a young woman seeking damages against a hair dresser applied the latest hair waving appliances to his legal wig, under expert advice of a uniformed hair dressing attendant in explaining the process.

It is nothing very surprising that cows are increasing the production of milk through the medium of radio music. It's human nature Pride in personal appearance is inherent in all of us. No one wants to look seedy, unkempt, to appear ill-dressed or classed as a has-been. It's only human nature after all. Advertisements are the barometers of style. The advertisements of collars and clothes have served as the models after which the modern well-groomed young man patterns his personal appearance—even to the dressing of his hair. The advertisements of fashionable gowns from Paris, the exquisitely dressed women pictured in the advertising of silks and other dress materials, are the criterions by which the twentieth century woman judges whether she is costumed to the minute or not. You cannot ignore advertising and be up to date in matters of dress. No more can you pass over advertisements that tell you of the latest necessities and luxuries that make for better and happier living. In fact, advertising keeps us modern in every sense if its reading is made a daily habit. Read advertisements regularly and you will soon surprise yourself with your keen knowledge of values—to say nothing of your increased knowledge of every-day affairs. The regular and systematic study of the advertisements is a liberal education in economics
