WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1930 DON'T QUIT The very fact that the Men's Student Council and the Dave Staff would meet side by side, peacefully, and in the same room, for the purpose of rational discussion of a vital student problem is as commendable as it is novel. Reports of the meeting Monday do not indicate that anything definite was done about student labor conditions, but a start was made, and that is more than has ever been done in the past. Too much encouragement cannot be given to the efforts of the two bodies. Now the matter has been placed wholly in the hands of the student council. As pretentious as were the Pachacamac's platform promises of last spring, and as successful as the council has in fulfilling some of them, the council will have performed by far its most constructive act if it reaches some solution to the problem of the working student. Having made a commendable start, it cannot afford to quit until something is accomplished. AN AID TO SEA ACCOR As a candidate for this week's hall of fame we nominate the stenographer who sent three letters without the houses signature and still holds her job. AN AID TO SEA ACCORD The Mediterranean part of non-aggression and mutual guarantees has been prepared for presentation to the London naval conference. This part is expected to awing the conference on the road to success. At least it brings some of the most difficult nations together on a common ground, and prepares them to attempt an agreement. France and Italy naturally are the most interested in the pact. Spain has asked for admission to the London parley; so she has been invited in on the pact because of her interest in naval affairs and because of her position on the Mediterranean. Great Britain is also interested in the Mediterranean pact because of the necessity of her keeping open the imperial trade route to the East through the Suez canal. It is encouraging to know that other powers besides Great Britain and the United States are making pacts and agreements among themselves. These preliminary meetings and discussions pave the way to a really possible success at London. At least the southern European nations are treating the subject seriously, It might be well for the professor who holds his class after the whistle blows to be boycotted next semester in the hopes that he might reform eventually. BE NOT HIGH AND MIGHTY BE NOT HIGH AND MIGHTY The federal farm board is now at the point where it may do most service to the American farmer. With the funds and with advisory and administrative boards, appointed by the president, assured, the problem now is to line up the farmers. As has happened in most farm organizations, it has been difficult to build a centralized management of a co-operative organization over a larger field. That is the problem. Fed- eval farm relief must be complete, or someone is going to be dissatisfied. Let the farm board take this attitude—to be marmanian, to entreat and plead, to reason and be pacificly aggressive, until, one by one, our varied farm organizations will be won over to the one big cause—a cause carried on under the sanction and supervision of the government. It may be that $400 is enough to spend on one snow, but that doesn't make it any easier to drive through snow drifted streets and stand up on slick side-walks. POLITICS WINS The removal of William R. Hopkins as manager of Cleveland is a blow to the city manager plan of municipal government. According to observers, the outer motion passed by the city council Monday night, was the result of Hopkins' refusal to grant political patronage in appointments to city 'obs'. After six years during which time Cleveland has enjoyed relatively uncorrupt government under Hopkins' management, the plan seems to have failed because it was achieving the purpose for which it was created—the purpose of removing patronage and political influence from city administration. The city manager plan of government is the latest development of a tendency toward centralization of responsibility in city administration, and an effort to place that responsibility in the hands of a trained expert hired for his administrative ability and not for his reputation in doing right by the party. Hopkins' term at Cleveland has been one of fearless and aggressive service. If his successor is to be appointed on a basis of sensitivity to political influence, city manager government in Cleveland is apt to become no more successful than it is at present in Kansas City. Judge McEldregan's game of politics in the latter city is no model to be copied. If experience is going to show that city manager government cannot be kept free from political influence, inevitably it must be suppressed by another scheme, despite the general approval it has received by students of municipal government. Chicago school children are prebably hoping that the schools are closed the day before the semester ends rather than after report cards are made out. NO SYMPATHY Chicago is planning the most mong nificant world's fair that has even been known, to be held in 1932; millions of dollars are to flow into the in the interests of the fair. A million dollar bridle path, unused, and now being overgrown with grass, has become an almost forgotten scandal. Lights and posts that cost five or six hundred dollars, to light loubourns in developed parts of the city; Al Capone; Bill "Bill" Thompson; yacht clubs; Grant park improvements—and the president of the school board declares the school system of Chicago to be bankrupt. The city council deadlocks on its 1030 budget, while 25,000 city employees wait for their pay checks in a city whose administrative forces are noted throughout the country for corrupt methods. It is small wonder that Chicago can not clear herself of the crime wave, when officials cannot care for the development of the city's children. Education has become the one institution which can insure the growth and the security of democracy. It is impossible to imagine the stability of an administration which does not have the foresight to care for its school system. Yet Chicago remains a dark example of the power of corrupt politics. The affair is one to be regretted, one which calls for little sympathy, but an example which could well be used as reason by municipal administrations over the country to investigate and ascertain the status of local school affairs. The Logical Professor says its much easier to tell a girl she is getting more beautiful every day than to tell her she is dumb. Physicist Confesses His Bewilderment at Modern Advances in Ideas of Matte Doe Monies.—The scientifically inclined woman who feels bewildered in the best of new physical conceptions that have been brought forward in recent years, is in search of a new understanding of feeling. Speaking as vice-president of the physical section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Dr. P. W. Bridgman, of Hartford, NY, wrote: Holiday Bracket "Many of us could, I believe," he declared, "confess to a feeling of breathlessness at the rapid changes of our present physical progress," and What Kansas Editors Say [From The Toneka Capital] The Missouri Sex Questionnaire Avain President Brooks and his board of curators at the University of Missouri get a proper laying from a university professor. The university Professors for their dismissal of one professor and suspension of another, the former being student training a questionnaire issued to students on the subject of sex morals, or being an anonymous. The committee report that the questions submitted are continually discussed in magazines, books in the stage and in moving pictures to students have access, that they are questions that students not only ask about sex morality themselves, and they reject the curators dictum that such inquiries "could not produce any scientifically valid conclusion nor any facts likely to be of It is of course known to everybody that these questions are of interest to young persons of college age and those who do not know anything about them is ridiculous. The obscuration of timid institutional professors be merely silly, but for the fact that it is worse, an attitude motivated by fear for his appropriations. Perhaps he will become a university professors make against the Missouri school is that this supposed attitude towards inquiry as to declare in advance that the questionnaires "could not produce a scientific research report" that is a denial of all the postulates and principles of scientific research pursued of knowledge in its tracks. Eye Uninjured by Tumor Removal There is no difference at bottom between the obscuration of the Professionals, in Tennessee, both being actuated by fear of knowledge. It is a sad condition for education to be in, but in humiliation, because it is probably no escape from it so long as education is a dependent which politicians or millionaires. The Association of University Professors must help students, however, to hold up the torch of learning. They care more for the profession than for their jobs. New Orleans, La.—An unusual case in which a long tumor was removed by the surgeon, and then to the eye was reported to the Southern Surgical Association by a New Orleans surgeon. The tumor measured 1.2 cm. In all patients the patient after recovery had full use of the eye without disturbance in any way, the surgeon stated. A Police school is to be held at Williamette University, from the third to the eighth of February inclusive. The faculty will be made up enforcement officers, attorneys and professors from the Oregon universities. Some of the important landmarks in the progression of physical knowledge he listed as follows: the electromagnetic theory of light, the special theory of relativity, the general theory of mechanics, the calculus of Bohre, the matrix calculus of Heisenberg, the wave mechanics of Schrödinger, the transformation theory of Jordan and Braue, the group theory of mathematical analysis, the transformation theory of Jordan and others. smeared, "confess to a feeling of our present physical progress and some of us might even, in a moment of cender, admit a little resentment However, Doctor Bridgman said, such changes and new ideas in rapid growth are often referred to as "whenever we extend the domain of experiment we must be prepared for it." In order to be better prepared for such changes in the future, he suggests that physicists abandon the quest for what is called "reality." "We used to demand that the ultimate goal of physical theories should be to understand reality, but the underlying realities," he said. "Today our demand for reality is much less insistent, in large part because we have an ultimate reality, which we thought was our goal, has any meaning. The majority of people want to large extent a personal matter, and changes with time, but I believe it is fair to say that the sense of humanity and the sense in which years ago and the sense in which the majority use it today has "uniqueness" not have been admitted that two entirely different explanations of the universe could be equally real, but our understanding of explanation is an impossible ideal, and the quest for reality in so far as possible has bluntened as a meaningful quest." --temptation to be seriously resisted by a struggling student. Campus Opinion --temptation to be seriously resisted by a struggling student. Editor, Daliy Kansan; As final examinations approach, the question of cheating becomes particularly pressing. Kanam, reported that eight out of nine students in K. U. considered cheating. Granted that, ideally, no human being should ever dissemble, you must be able to be self-controlled is far otherwise. There always has been cheating and there always will be cheating. So I urge the abolition of final examinations. With them, too much depends on too little; and the chance for a passing grade is too great a If we can devise a system which will make cheating useless, it will soon disappear.
