THE HONOR SYSTEM INVADES ATHLETICS
Despite the campus-wide rumor which started when a certain leading newspaper announced in a streamer headline that such a rumor had already not "investigated," Jim Bausch was not "investigated" at the meeting of Big Six officials at Kansas City. No, no names were mentioned—not officially. But the voice of public opinion was not unheard—not unanswered. The whole Big Six, not Jim Bauch alone, but the entire conference, even the Nebraska Cornhuskers, will be investigated.
Now, nothing should be more wee
coned, either by the selfconfessed),
pure athletic departments, by the in-
telectual wizards who are their sever
critics. An an investigation
always is interesting, even to the most
impertual observer. But we are just
a little ahrid that the Big Six officials
put a joker in the deck and are
playing the joker wild.
They are going to use the honor system.
Consequently, the result of the investigation is easily forecast. Within a few weeks all the schools in the Big Six will pronounce themselves as pure as you driven snow, which we hope is true, and the incident will be closed. Attention can be turned again to more perplexing problems, such as, for example, cheating in the classroom.
We want to be fair, however. If the Big Six can conduct such an investigation on the honor system, and really achieve a serious purpose, then it is to be given support and encouragement. Since such an approach has been adopted by the officials, it is to be passionately hoped that conclusive results can be obtained. It is time the wolves were either appeased or silenced.
Being murdered is a serious business in Arkansas, an situation evidently not appreciated by the murderer in the latest Ozark killing. He refuses to stay dead. But the trial is going ahead just the same. Perhaps he will learn not to toy with justice before the trial is over.
NUPTIAL PUBLICITY
A couple recently dived into their matrimonial sea via parachute after being wed in a plane. They were seeking publicity and were given a very liberal dose of it. Their names appeared in the papers and their pictures in the newreels. Probably they received some money and presents from various firms for the advertising rights which their act will make possible. This couple was making a commercial venture of the one thing that society and civilization relies upon for its maintenance. They were praised by lovers of the sensational and aided by the newspapers who use that sort of article to fill their columns.
To condemn making a sporting event of the marriage ceremony and say that it is improper will do no good until the agencies supporting such events are in accord with such an attitude. When newspapers refuse to publish such stories in their col-
ums much of the attraction will disappear and when the advertisers refute to pay for that type of material it will all disappear.
But always perhaps, there will be a few who desire to make comic exhibitions of their private lives.
"Instead of there being no increase in flu, as was stated in Friday's Kansan," says Doctor Carantenat at the student hospital, "there have no cases at all so far this year." "Sunday's Kansan. Now that is getting down to fine points, almost as fine as the distinction between the flu and a bad cold.
RAH-RAH-RAH
"Rah-Bah-Rab - Podhnik!" Come boys and girls, have another drink for our dear old alma mater. Eat, drink, and be merry; for tomorrow we must—eat, drink, and be merry again." Thus would the moving picture poster modern college life with nothing but laughter, fun, enjoyment, dances, football games and drinking parties. Still, they call it "college life."
With such scenes and their accompanying ideas, as those produced on the screen, is it any wonder that we hear so much criticism against colleges? Unless a person knows through experience, or some other adequate medium, the real college life, he is likely to be prejudiced against universities by such pictures. Naturally he does not want to send his son or daughter to any institution that allows or encourages such conduct, while his son or daughter perhaps will think this sort of life would be great sport, and would cherish such ideas. Cansequently, not only on Mother and Father, but also on son and daughter, are false and bad impressions made.
If college scenes must be desiccated in this way, it would be better to do away with them altogether. Let us have the truth on this subject.
The army officer who is engaged to marry Sidi Wirt probably will soon know what war really is.
HAITI AND MARINES
That five hundred additional marines had to be sent to Haiti as the result of the most recent disturbance there seems to have been the only feasible immediate move, in view of the policy of the United States toward the Negro republic for the past fifteen years. As an emergency measure, perhaps President Hoover's action Saturday was wise in that military
intervention may be the question way of restoring peace to the island. But it is well to remember that an enforced peace can be only temporary, and furthermore, that it is a grave question as to what right the United States has to interfere with the affairs, even with the troubles of an independent state. What business have the marines had in Haiti for the past 15 years? The matter deserves a thorough airing. Haitian officials for several years have sought independence from our interference. They have sought an investigation by an impartial commission. The best that has been done is an investigation by a group of United States government officials the results of which never were made public.
President Hoover, at the same time that he dispatched the latest body of marines to the island, ordered a thorough airing of the entire Haitian question. He seems more inclined than any other president to get at the rights of the matter. A resolution was passed in Congress authorizing the appointment of a commission for the investigation. Ultimately, then, the latest episode in Haitian relations may prove important, not for the accounts of uprisings and bloodshed depicted in the headlines this week, but rather for the fact that a change in policy may be brought about and more harmonious relations may be created for the future.
Citizens have become "football conscious," but how about the players?
Patrick J. Hurley, assistant secretary of war, succeeds the late James W. Good as secretary of war. President Hoover desires to make promotions in public office whenever advisable and Senator Hurley's experience as assistant secretary qualifies him for this position.

Secretary of Labor's Report Urges Changes in Emigration to Fit Employment Demands
United Press Staff Correspondent
By Joseph H. Baird
Washington, Dec. 9, - (UIP) - Consolidation or codification of the immigration laws, with an amendment to permit admission of some aliens on the basis of their adaptiveness to employment demands in the United States, was advocated today in the annual report of Secretary of Labor Davis.
Surveying the state of American labor, Davis said he found a new spirit of cooperation between employers and employees. Wages are higher, the report said, and workmen are enjoying better homes, better working con-
Secretary Hurley has had a long military experience, he has executive ability, and he represents the West. The war department's major work in flood control will be done during the next several years. He has long studied and acquired a large amount of knowledge on this problem. The appointment perhaps may help the senate situation since he represents the West. He was born in Oklahoma, and his home is now in Tulsa, which is enough in the south to aid feeling in that quarter.
--have been in Europe, where he said, 2,000,000 people drive cars to work. Grabs here, although, under American law, only 150,000 can be admitted as drivers.
A greater per cent of women medical students are accepted in Schools of Medicine than men is the report of Dr. B. D. Meyers, heads of Indiana University Medical School of Ohio. Of the 478 women who were accepted, while only 51 per cent of the 13,091 male applicants were accepted.

The Sunday morning Kannan published a story concerning the University radio programs and why special events, such as the Soph Hop or broadcast by KFKU, were broadcasted by KFKU. Special events not broadcasted when they do not occur during the regular University broadcasting hours, unless special arrangements have been made with KFKU with whom KFKU divides the time.
In the story Sunday, it was stated that WREN has not co-operated in any college team, the JEMS team has been, and WREN has co-operated splendidly as regarding the division of time with WREN. He further stated that special arrangements would not be made in the future. Further, he stated that University station says that if basketball games are to be broadcasted, special arrangements will be made
Flemingburg, Ky. (UP)—For the third time in as many months, Miss Kenna Damon of Flemingburg is prepared to seek court redress in the case from Wayne Hall of McBlowell, for her alleged shattered romance.
Two Floyd county circuit court juries at Prestonburg already have snarled hopelessly in their efforts to adjudicate the matter and now come up with Damron, undaunted, pre preparing their third case along identical lines.
Back in February, Hall entrusted to Reed Fraure, a friend, the task of obtaining a license for the wedding Frasure executed the trust by appearing at her wedding so enraged Hall that he forthwith called off the whole business.
Kentucky Girl's Romance
Halted by Dog Licens
Memphis, Dec. 6—(UP) "Saved by a hair" might have been the title of a little drama in federal court here in which Lawrence Maerstri was dismissed on a liquor charge. Agents arrested him because they bought liquor from him; friends testified he had never worn a moustache.
A dog license is behind it all.

**fultions** and "everything that goes to\
make life better and happier for mankind in general."
The following specific recommendations were made by Davis;
1. Codification or consolidation of scattered legislation" affecting immigration into "one comprehensive taute."
2. Organization of an air patrol to enforce anti-amusing legislation.
3. Ejection of a Federal institution which attacked aliens may be denied permission.
4. Amendment of the immigration statue of March 4, 1929, to permit expiled expelled from this country because of a conviction in a criminal court **II**, before the act was passed, they had previously been given permission to do so by the Secretary of State.
Conditions in Europe
"I would not increase the present quotas for this purpose," Davis said, "because I believe they are large enough to make a difference. I give a preference to immigrants who are needed here after the demands of preference relative have been satisfied."
"Cases are constantly arising in which some American industry, institution, or interest can clearly demonstrate that a person has some particularly qualified person resident in foreign country. But there are cases of expiring such immigration."
Davis adjourned a system whereby American interests needing the services of some particular alien could present their cases to the Secretary of Labor. That official, after a hearing would be empowered to give the desired alien a preference right over adversative applicants for admission here.
Retirement Jibe
Retirement of middle-aged artisans in industry is based on a "false philosophy," Davis said. He predicted "enlightened employers" soon would realize men of 50 or older, are often better qualified by "experience, ability and service" to render more valuable services than their yuppy colleagues.
Industry's industry toll last year was 24,000 lives, the report said. Davis advocated a strengthening of industry safeguards to reduce those deaths.

American citizenship was conferred on 224,728 alumni during the last fiscal year. Davis reported. More Haitians were enrolled in the Institute of jets of any other country. Davis said statistics showed many aliens sought naturalization primarily to bring their wives and children to this country, and that the Bureau of Immigration figures show, Davis said, that 279,678 aliens were permanently admitted to this country during the last fiscal year, whereas 60,260 emigrants left the
Settlement.
Representatives of the Labor De-
partement's Bureau have been engaged during the last fiscal year in research work in various state and national wages and conditions committees. Failure of Congress to provide funds to continue Federal co-operation with the states in administering workers' benefits now prevents the Department's Children's Bureau from continuing participating in the work, the labor department will recognize the bureau will continue "its recognized leadership" in bettering conditions in these fields by publishing articles.
Settlement of Disputes
The Department's Conciliation Service sought to settle 522 labor disputes in the last fiscal year, Davis reported. Of these, 385 were adjusted; 140 were not. The department 21 were recorded as unchestfied, and 56 cases are pending.
