TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1929 PROGRESS Thousands of radio listeners heard illustrious men and women pay homage to Thomas A. Edison last night, during the nation-wide observance of the fifteenth anniversary of his perfecting of the incandescent light. These tributes expressed the appreciation of the world to the Wizard of Menlo who was able to replace the oil lamp with the modern electric light. This invention not only added comfort to modern living in itself, but marked the beginning of the widespread use of electricity as a source of heat and power in many lines of work. The invention of that first incandescent light has paved the way for the invention of thousand of electrical appliances which affect everyone in all walks of life. It is a symbol of progress. The tributes to Edison were tributes to progress. I KNEW HIM WHEN— If more students would aspire for Rhodes Schoolship, K. U. wouldn't have to accept one-fifth of the advance standing students on probation. President Hoover stopped from the executive duties to give some kids a big moment in their young lives Sunday. Some day they will be able to remember how back on Oct. 20 in 1929 they shook hands with the president as he leamed over the railing of the platform of his train. "Well, hello Al! How are you? haven't seen you since I left Cumberland. Do you remember that day your dad held you up so you could shake hands with President Hoover?" "Do it! I was almost as proud of it as you were. Those were the days." Such are big moments in little lives. The old educational proverb "No lickin', no larnin'" is said to have been originated by the correspondence school student applying a stamp. INVERSE RATIO Thirteen men appeared in the picture recently published above the caption, "University of Kansas Coaching Staff." Nine of these men were actively concerned with the training of the team which has appeared on the gridron. A director, a dentist, two freshman coaches, two two physicians, a head coach, a line coach, and a man specialized in backfield tactics. In the same pamphlet 34 men were listed on the varsity squad, and the major part of the time, seven of the above men is spent in work with these 34. Seven men to train less than 35 squad members for eight public appearances a year. One coach for five men! Including part time instructors, lecturers, and full time professors, the University faculty numbers practically 400. The enrollment this year batters 4,000. There is then one-tenth of a professor for every student to train him for life work, to prepare him to cope with world problems, to teach him to live with his fellows, and to aid his search for the "creative life." It is not surprising that such a system is criticized. It is the same situation that arises from the fact that the huge stadium is provided for some five days' use out of the year, while other buildings used every day in the year are too small and inadequately equipped. Athletics should not be criticized unjustly; it has its proper place. Rather it is the system by which it is developed out of proportion to the remainder of the University program which deserves attention. MEXICAN OIL Oil may not ease the wheels of politics in the next Mexican election. Oil is the cause of friction in Mexico now. It affects labor, politics, and taxes. In 1921, 154,000 men were depending on the oil industry for livelihood; in June, 1928, 14,000 were employed. This employment problem is affecting the impending labor legislation. The labor legislation is not expected to be completed before the next presidential election; that brings politics into the problem. The government party candidate will follow the policies of the present president more or less, but the opposing candidate differs from the present regime on all points. The political prospects affect the whole economic problem. High taxes are given by American companies as the reason for the drop in production from 183,000,000 barrels of oil in 1921 to 21,000,000 this year. The Mexican government believes that it is due to the decision of American owners to hold Mexico fields in reserve rather than because of the high taxes. Never in oil history has Mexico's income been so low or has she suffered so much from this cut in production. Still, Mexico is thinking of the theory that in fifteen years the wells in the United States will mostly be dry. For this reason she keeps her taxes high, in order to keep some Mexican oil in reserve for that time. Labor legislation and Mexican oil policies will all be affected by future politics; oil in the next election may not eliminate the squeaks. Manhattan had an earthquake yesterday. We are certainly glad the K-Aggies waited until they got home to do their celebrating. THE NEW BORGER The withdrawal of the state militia marks the beginning of a new era in Berger, Texas. After a turbulent three-year history which culminated in the establishment of martial law, the town has installed a new group of city officials who, it is believed, will enforce the law. The recent unfavorable exposure of the oil town's past will check its rapid growth and hinder its progress for a few years. But a town cannot be economically sound or a desirable place in which to live until a respect for law and order is established. This has been done for the first time, and many of the criminals and undesirable people have packed their grips and stolen away. The citizens of Berger can now make it a progressive and respectable city through persevering civic enterprise and virtue. The process is slow, but it is the price a community must pay for permitting unsupervised men to gain control of its local government. Other cities and other states well may profit by Berger's experience. The clean-up of Berger has demonstrated effectively that when a city and state become really determined to drive out crime and corruption, it can be done. Martial law is not desirable, but at least it is effective. Perhaps it might be used to advantage offender. Last year we wondered if the "Rock Chalk" were dying, and now we are clacked with another grave problem. What has happened to our "Roasted, toasted, double-jointed, California pee—notita"? Don't let this good old yell die! ON TIME Be of good cheer, friends. Only a few more months, and wayward whistle will blow on time. An automatic clock and whistle-tootter will be installed the first of the year. Watches will not have to be set every hour of the day. Straining ears will be rewarded when the class end hours, and not five or ten minutes later, if Pacific Relations Conference to Draw 200 to Kyoto, Japan, on October 28 By MILES W. VAUGHN Straining at the Gnat and Swallowing the Camel! BY MILES W. VACCHIN United Press Staff Correspondent Kyoto, Japan, Oct. 22—(UPI) The past, present and future of the nations bordering on the Pacific Ocean will be discussed at the third biennial conference of the Institute of Pacific Relations which will be formally convened in the Mirako Hotel here. Oct. 28. at all. The whistle has rendered pretty good service this fall, but the human factor has been present. Now that the machine age is reaching the power plant, perhaps a new era in time-keeping will begin. We hope that the automatic clock will keep time—and be automatic. More than 200 deligentes will gather for the inaugural session, is understood that Dr. Jinao Nilos, former deputy secretary-general of the People's Republic of China, will be among them. The men's student council at the University of Kentucky recently drew up a set of by-laws for the men's club. For some, Some of the laws are as follows: "Mistuh sheriff, wud y'all min' mink up dat man—he's mah lawyer." The case was dismissed. Houston, Texas., (UP) — Justice court was jammed as usual and the magistrate was dismissing cases or issuing orders as fast as they came before him. Plain Tales From the Hill No undergraduate student shall while under the influence of liquor be present at a university or socia function. The Ten O'Clock Club is no more.

All students and faculty members in the daily dozen are invited to compete. "Dance crashing" at Ohio State seems to be in vogue. Although school has been in nassion only a short time, several dances have been attended by uninvited rowdy guests. The students and the fraternities have decided on closed dances where invitations must be presented. The few students of the University of Michigan who have been granted permission to use automobiles are not allowed to give rides to other students. A student with a permit to ride must secure employment must secure permission before he can transport other students working at the same establishment.
