BISHOP McCONNELL
Next week Bishop Francis J. McConnell, of New York City, will be here as the main speaker for Religious week. He will deliver an address at convention, and will meet with faculty members, students and citizens of Lawrence.
The main purpose of these meetings is primarily to stimulate independent thinking on religious subjects. It is not to settle fully any definite problems which the students may have.
It was, with the idea of stimulation in view, that the Council of Religious Workers has chosen Bishop McConnell, and it is to be hoped that the students will co-operate in making the meetings successful.
WHY NOT USE THEM?
When the grass was brown and frozen when it was completely covered with snow, the fact that students do not read all of the signs on the Hill was not particularly evident But now since the grass is becoming green the neglect is noticeable and lamentable.
At various points on the campus can be seen brown paths cutting across the green of the lawn. At one point there is scarcely a blade of grass left between the sidewalk and the street. Yet all around are signs urging the campus public to walk or the sidewalks.
Probably students do not deliberately destroy the green after reading the signs; they are too busy making arrangements for that date tonight to notice where they are going. We are proud of the beauty of our campus. It remains for us to see that it is made more beautiful by the simple process of following the walks.
SPORTSMANSHIP
Volumes have been written about the spectators at games who cannot refrain from hurling fiery epithets at the referee or making rude remarks about the players on the opponent team. Yet the bad sportsmann continues. Wherever one finds a game and a group of followers the habit seems to persist.
Monday night the Kansas team played basketball against Nebraska. The game was one replete with thrills. The students exhibited more enthusiasm than has been seen at a game this year. When the home team has a few more points to its credit the crowd was joyful, but, as usual, the team fell behind there were some who must shout "rotten." "give Quigley one," he answered. If he fouled on any Kansas player. A referee paid for his knowledge of the game. If he is unsatisfactory it is better to discharge him and get another man. But the reputation of E. C. Q. Guigley is well known, and an analysis of the games he has refereed For Kansas shows that he has always been fair and impartial—the two essential qualifications of a good referee. Let us keep the name of Kansas free from the charge of heck line the referee.
HOOVER COMMISSIONS
HOOVER COMMISSIONS Congress is afraid that it will be come a mere rubber-stamp in the
hands of the president if he is allowed to continue appointing research commissions as he has been doing. Speaker Longworth says that the House has decided not to create any commissions recommended if existing committees can do the work.
But can they? Unless our law are based on accurate statements of fact, checked by adequate observation of results, they will always be subject to the errors of theories based on more or less hypothetical data. True, Congress does carry on investigations. But data acquired in this way is of questionable accuracy, because it is derived largely from opinions of others, and not by actual, first-hand observation of conditions at their root. Congress by its very nature cannot possibly get at the conditions at the bottom of the crime situation, as a case in point.
An extension of President Hoover's plan of appointing commissions was suggested by Glenn Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin. He said that the time had come to create a third house of Congress, a technical and fact-finding house to aid the other two.
Whether such a radical departure as this is feasible will be a problem for the future. But the fact remains that Congress as a legislative body is concerned essentially with stating general laws applicable to a given situation. It itself is inadequate to define the situation, and President Hoover's commissions seem to be the best present means of getting at the facts.
WASHINGTON IS WORRIED
The people of the District of Columbia are all agog over the appointment by President Hoover of Major General Herbert B. Cross to replace a civilian commissioner of the district. The matter is of greater importance than might appear at first glance and is, indeed, worthy of some consideration.
The half-million inhabitants of Washington form the only complete group in the United States which has not the right of unilage. Their only solace has been that two of the three commissioners who govern them have been appointed by the president from among the residents of the district. In this way they have had a nominal police in their own government.
But now, if Mr. Howey's appointment of an army man passes the Senate, Washington feels that its "last vestige of home rule" is gone. Civic leaders are meeting to discuss the president's choice, and a protest may be made.
While it is natural that the people of Washington might resent this nominal removal of their only voice in government, still it is possible that the affair is less serious than it seems. Though the residents have no direct participation in their government, it is true that in no municipal organization has the individual more influence in local administration than he has in Washington. The commissioners hold hearings on every measure of local importance, and any person who expresses an opinion is certain of a hearing. Nevertheless, their insistence that the commissioner should be appointed from their own citizenship is entitled to consideration.
They are at it again. In the Kansas City Star of last evening the Washington correspondent says, "Kansas was pictured today — as a state where the prohibition laws are闭塞 open."
WE GIVE UP
The Kanan has been trying for a number of years to educate the press of the Missouri Valley and points west in the matter of "fount" and "fout," but the complex is too firmly established. Just now, even, we went to the dictionary and copied out a nice definition of each word, thinking we would tell them about it. Then we thought we might even give them all desk dictionaries if we could raise the price. Then we estimated how many copies we should have to get, and estimated the cost of education—oh, what's the use?
The Thoughtful Freshman pauses to inquire why the authors of stories in the Sour Owl never sign them.
Future Weather Predictions Must Take Into Account Solar Variations—Rooney
Washington — Weather prediction in the future must take into consideration variations in solar radiation, especially those creptions noted in connection with sun spots, according to William J. Rooney associate physician of the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, Carnegie Institution. Mr. Rooney has just returned on the Grace line Santa Barbara from the Carnegie observatory at Hancocky, Peru, 12,000 feet above sea level.
Observations made by him during his two months are part of a series he is making throughout the world of the resistance of earth materials.

Splendid technique was the out-standing feature of the Vladimir Horowitz concert last night. This characteristic was dominant in all of his productions, including Chopin group. This remarkable quality enabled the world-famous pianist to bring out all the little phase which are so often overrated.
The opening group, an "Organ Purchase and Forgive, D.M. Major", was presented to the group who presented an interesting contrast. The first number brought out the sense of a strong individual characteristic of the work of 8th. The second selection was 10th.
The last number on the program,
a composition by the artist, "Virtuoso
Carmen," certainly gave him good
opportunity to display his technique
and modernist chords but it was
unlikely that any themes from "Carmen" in it.
The Chopin group was probably the best liked because it contained num-
bers of instruments and numbers displayed rhythm as well as perfect technique. The "Two Mazurks" was light and pleasing and the second "Brillante" was lively and coolful.
Doctor Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, the strange character who played two roles in life, has nothing on the college student who may be reeling in his sorrow after a dish run the rug. Approximately 1500 men students or about 80 percent of the University of Oklahoma earn paid their expenses. One student who asked for a job as a pain pointer is pushing a pick and showel.
The pianist was gracious to the enthusiastic applause of the audience as well as being generous with encores.

Mr. Rooney said that his work upon the resistances of earth materials had shown that certain elements, such as iron with magnesium salts, were better conductors of earth current than on water, formerly used in furnaces and furnaces for heating the Resistance of earth materials may vary from 100 amps to 5,000,000 amps per cubic centimeter within the same range.
This has an important bearing upon prephysical prospecting, he explained, "The hardness of the earth materials enables the physicist to determine the depth of strata without boring or excavation by setting up a hole in the surface and measuring the resistance between them. He said he had determined the depth of surface water to within six inches."
Measurements of the potential gradient of the atmosphere, he said, might be used to predict per meter positive to 60 volts per meter negative electricity. Although the potential is high, be explained, so it does not explain that it is difficult to measure. There is a continual radiation of electricity from the earth taking place in the atmosphere, but one of the most usual theories for its return is that it flows back in large quantities during thunder storms and in connection with ordinary precipitation.

Excavators Dig Up Plan of Circular Indian House
Science Service
Washington. — That recently the complete plan of a big circular Indian house has been excavated in a remote area under a new neoclassure made by Henry R. Collins, Jr., of the U. S. National Museum. Mr. Collins, who has just released the drawing of the house plan, said that this is the first discovery show, clearly how the prehistoric Indians of the Southeast designed their homes.
The house, which is in the frequently plowed cotton field of Chinle County, was recently recognized as an Indian site when bones and potashers were dig up by two young men working for the local department of archives and history.
The house plan shows three circles of post holes which were used for
It is possible that this was one of the Mound Building tribes, for sex was a common practice within half a mile of the round house. Excavations may be continued.
roof supports, Mr. Collins explained.
The outermost circle is sixty feet in diameter. Tracing the circles with a compass, he found that the first place, in the first place, the archaeologists found that the circles were perfectly laid out. The Indian house builders dog the three circles and lay them on the posts firmly two feet deep within the trenches. The wall of the structure was very likely of warfare-work, so it had to be excavated. Mr. Collins explained. Traces of a fire pit were inside the house, and also a square of foot beds which provided additional roof supports and possibly set off an inner wall.
