TARIFF ACTION
After months of talk and debates, pro and con, an action has been taken on a definite tariff case, that of a proposed sugar hike. The senate defeated a proposal to increase tariff on Cahan imports, thereby bringing to an end one of the most hotly contested measures of any that have been pending.
On one side of the proposed tariff revision, have been arrayed the sugar beet and cane producers, supported by the domestic refiners, and opposed have been the senators who have argued against adding burdens on the consumers. The commercial users of beet and cane products have aided the consumers in their fight, while the farm organizations have aided in with the producers for a higher tariff.
With all the talk we are having reducing taxes and lightening the burdens of the consumer, it is little wonder that a proposed higher tariff failed. If it had passed, the price of sugar would have probably been raised, and the consumer made the boat. As it is, a plan has been worked out in effort to satisfy all, with no increase in price.
IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS
Since so many deaths from parrot fever have occurred lately, the Sophisticated Soapmenite has decided not to become on old maid.
IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS
The house immigration committee finds itself facing two problems. The first is the restriction of immigration to the states, in the western hemisphere, Canada, Mexico, and the Central and South American states. The second is the alien leak, the result of which is that two million immigrants are illegal in the United States now.
In an attempt to solve the first problem the house committee has proposed two bills. These are planned to limit the inflow on an one-to-three basis, especially from Canada and Mexico. This one-to-three basis provides that for every American who goes to live in another country in the western hemisphere, three immigrants will be admitted. If this were done, our country's neighbors would not be in a position to complain.
Solutions which are being considered for the second problem are the addition of needed machinery and funds with which to deal with violators, and the registration of all aliens. The government is handicapped by lack of adequate enforcement, but the nation will be in a bad way if the alien leaks continues. Enforcement of laws costs the government money, but so do undesirable residents, not a few of whom are vicious and criminal.

FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING
Considering the benefits to come from the comprehensive survey of American college athletics made by the Carnegie foundation, we look to
the ideal of this organization, THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING, to turn its scope of investigation to two other glittering faults in the field of vacation.
One is the capacity of the faculty for teaching, as well as knowing the subject; the other, need of some uniform system by which a student may transfer from one school to another without losing hard earned credit hours.
It is the criticism of the layman and the student that many college instructors hold their position, not so much for their ability to impart learning to the student, as for their ability to write pamphlets, to deliver into the field of research and gain recognition in "Who's Who." In the class room, they are often horses. As administrative officials, they are "off-balance" in their judgment of the relation of themselves, their knowledge and their eminence in their particular field.
In the second instance it is the woe of the student who transfers from one school to another to find himself deprived of his earned status when the college which he is to enter lops off his hours so that he is forced on some measure to start over again. Why should a student be subject to this disadvantage? We venture to say that if the Carnegie foundation prepared a certain transcript and sent a copy to each school in the country, they would find that most schools have a cut-troat advanced standing evaluation.
The American college student asks the Foundation to be his benefactor in its endeavors toward THE ADVANCEMENT OF TEACHING. There are two of the most serious handicaps in higher education, handicaps which are costly and discouraging to completion of work for a degree. Are they worthy of consideration. Carnegie Foundation, or are they "too close to home?"

THE CONFERENCE PANACEA
In its rebellious horror of war the world has gone conference mad. The moment any nation or group begins to mutter between its teeth, those concerned are fearful that they may be drawn into the massacre, and hasten to suggest a conference. The expense and results likely to be incurred are not taken into consideration—the only thought is the placing of a lid upon a bottle about to boil over.
It is fairly safe to say that three or four times as many conferences for the unyting of every category of Greek dionot have been held in the past twelve years as in any two dozen years prior to the World War. The commendable aim of the establishment of world peace and justice through arbitration has been frantically grasped at by a world frightened of drowning. Taking no thought of the natural limitations of the conference method's very real powers of salvation, any and all who feel themselves to be sinking seize upon it merely as the plank floating nearest. Until there is a sane, reasoning understanding of the conference, its benefits and limitations, the science by which it operates and its uses and misuses, ultimate results are never going to be obtained. If the conference is to take the place of war in the modern world, as much time, money and study must be expended upon it as has been for thousands of years upon the perfection of war. Otherwise war, being a superior science, will never be superseded by the conference.

DON'T WANT SYMPATHY
The bankrupt situation of the Chicago schools now to have resolved itself into an effort to compete the city to base its 1930 budget upon actually anticipated revenue rather than hoped-for but improbable revenues. The bonded debt of the city extends beyond reasonable limits, the taxes have not been paid for 1928 and the state tax commission report shows a number of inequalities. In general, Chicago finances are unstable. A shrewder effort to live within beams and not to increase the debt for future generations is to be commended in any city. Straightening out the financial tangles, maintaining good credit and building on a sound basis is the cure for Chicagoville's difficulties which have resulted in the "bankruptcy" scare. But still there is the matter of corrupt politics to be bred.
At The Concert
By Martha Sidebottom
--in the afternoon and have Hot Chocolate and Wafer Only 10c
Sound waves in the vicinity of the Auditorium were severely disturbed last night by the blowing of 77 wind instruments and the bending of the five percussion of Mac's band when the drummer played with a wide and widely selected program. The main criticism of the evening regards this length of performance and the variety of numbers—too many incidental effects were tried for a band concert.
The opening selection from the oper, "Martiina" was accompanied by a complex story on the printed and the improbable to follow. The piece was worked up with good climaxes and sounded well. "Peer Gynt Suite, No. 23," an operatic suite of five feets, an Arabian dance tune, a storm on the coast, and a love song in minor key. In the first of the piece the clarineters encountered difficulty and tried to sing along by singing the tune. The clarinets were off pitch in a solo part of "Solvog's Song" but they played the part easily because it did it was purposefully in minor key.
The band had time troubles in accompanying Oliver Hobbs' trombone solo. It started out too fast for the solist and had a hard time getting into the rhythm section. A suggestion for the band members should have come before the next number, the selection from the light opera, "Mile, Modiste" for they all seemed too tired to do it justice. "Kiss Me When I Get Waltz," pleased the other parts.
Miss Alice Conger played two solo琴, "Love Walks" by Mozkowski and "Inheritance Grand Value" by Cox. The number was played by Florence Webster in her senior recital on Tuesday. Interpretation was interesting to note. Miss Conger may have played the number more technically than she played the changes in time, but Miss Webster brought out more beauties of melody. The best played selection on the piece and second storm of the concert was the opern "William Tell" by Rossini. Effective lighting changes accompanied the piece and second storm of the piece. The number was the tympani's delight and Mr. Siebels did it justice. Something new and different was tried in the second storm, the piece Mac Burst into song followed by his boys—he might change their voice are good."
After the trip to *Dreamland*, the Spanish songs from "La Feria" gave me a new touch. The splendid twist section of the band got its first break of the evening in this piece and played a cathartic number, "A Hunting Scene," made vivid by the bugles, barking of the snake. The number of snakes noffa; the number was a good finale.

The 25,000 American houses with a total of 8,000,000 seats can accommodate 100,000,000 spectators a week. The world production of films in 1927 which gave the latest statistics to the public of the United States produced 473; Japan 407; Germany 278; Soviet Russia 151; England 186; France 74; China 57; Austria 15; Denmark 10. It is calculated that the production expenses of a large studio are $1,000 an hour while one hour of work in the studio gives an average of 9 hours when the latter is actually shown.
U. S. Far in Lead
As regards employees, the United States naturally leads in the industry with 225,000 workers; 30,000 employees; and 467,000 the largest German firm employs 4,000 workers; the French studio gives employment to 1,000 workers, while in England about 70,000 people earn their living from the industry. The recent origin and the rapid growth of the industry has been driven by the need to provide for any international regulation and very little national regulation of the working conditions and more stable lines of industry.
With the results of the world-wide investigation of the movie industry, which has been called *run* has just completed, it expects to take up later all the problems of working health, health and safety of children and similar questions.

My regret lies in the fact that members of the faculty do not attend Convocation. This convitation has been growing on me for several years.
—A.R.H.
At the time of the last convoitation, when Burris Jenkins spoke, the program lasted several minutes over the course of a presentation of several students that when they arrived at their classes they were not in attendance. In the case of some students the instructors were giving quizzes and it is difficult to enter the class when the instructions are given: ten minutes head start on the quiz. Isn't it only fair for everyone to get a chance to go to convocations? Can you be more outgoing in our very instructor don't go?
