TUESDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1929 PANACEA FOR OVER-ACTIVITY Already some energetic students have overloaded themselves with extra-curricular activities. This can only mean that either their studies or their nerves will suffer. No one would deny, however, that some of these activities are of great benefit to students when chosen wisely. the "joiner" who simply announces himself to every club in sight will gain but small benefit from his activities for two reasons. First of all, he uses little discretion in his choice of activities, and so will be repaid with poor results. Second, if he is really active in a large number of organizations, the effort to keep up with these and his studies too will subject him to a physical and mental strain. The best all-round panacea for the evils of over-influence in activities is the point system in successful use by some colleges. All extra-curricular activities there are grazed according to the amount of time and energy required by them, and each student is allowed only a specified maximum of points each semester. Thus the student choices more carefully, and by picking only those organizations in which he is really interested gets more actual good from them. At the same time he is able to get his lessons without having a nervous break-down. Suppose, for example, that a sophomore were allowed to carry ten points. One particular man might choose football, which makes rather serious demands, carries six points on the scale and leaves him four points. He is also very much interested in chemistry and so decides to join the chemistry club, using up two more points. Then he is elected president of this club, which eliminates the two remaining points. He will get a great deal more out of the semester work than if he had added Rifle club, Glee club, and a half-dozen others to his load of activities. With six grandmothers and five grandpas waiting to welcome and spoil him, a son was born last week in Sabetha. What chance, we ask him, that has toy? We predict he'd die of cookie and pepperin poisoning at an early age. FARM_BOARD PASSES BUCK The mid-strike, which was instituted a week ago yesterday in Kansas City, when pouezering plants there refused to meet demands of the Milk Producers' Association of the Greater Kansas City Territory for an increase in price, has entered its second week with no indications of a break. In an attempt to get the true facts of the situation before the public, the Milk Producers' Association sent a request to the federal farm board, that an economist be sent to Kansas City to investigate the cost of producing and pasteurizing milk. Although this request has not officially reached the board, Chairman Lege sent a reply that the farm board would not comply with the Association's request, but that it would be referred to the bureau of agricultural economics under the department of agriculture, which has the power to make studies of the cost of production. He asserted that the skit situation does not come as ye under the general powers of the board. While this plan of action will probably work out successfully, if both factions really desire to learn the true facts about the case, the refusal of the farm board to investigate comes as a disappointment to the general public. They thought that they would at last get to see how the farm board would function in a specific case. The farmer would willingly provide some further problem up in the future, which will come under the powers of the board, powers which seem to be very ill-defined at present. It was rather interesting to note at the game Saturday that the historic water bucket was called into use when water was needed in a hurry, in spite of the fact the new water cart was there. HE'S NOT HARD TO FIND Oh yes, you must have seen him be cause—he's not hard to find. He goes to all the football games and yells vociferously, like a happy child, that his team may win. And he dances with glee when the opponents are hard-pressed. It's part of the game, yek and every one does it. Again you see him on the campus, dressed to a T, and he waves to everyone. The women all like him. He's known about the campus. At the parties, he "gets around," he shoves his hand out for everyone to grasp. A good dance, too, knows the latest hits, and his every movement is one of grace and harmony. He doesn't study much—don't need to. Plenty of romance. A good "line," And in a "ball session" he's a screen. Funnelmate you've ever seen. Jokes galore—never seems to run out—and some you wouldn't want to tell in the class room. Yeb, and he's generous, too—give anything you're got, including the last drink in a bottle of real stuff. Want to see him? Well look around! the campus some time—they're not hard to find. Some freshman men are of the opinion that Sachen has the longest foot rule ever made when it comes to measuring the streamers on their caps. NATURE VS. BOOKS What is education? It is not simply books. The day is here when we are to lay aside books. We are not to give up languages and history, and studies of that class, but the study of things is added to those—God's works, the wonderful in objects, the curious and useful in sciences, the conditions of health and disease, the growth of population, the material interests of society, the handwork of God and his laws. The day is here when study will turn largely in that direction. Science, the history of science, and the details of it as preserved in museums, already are especially offices of study. No man is up to the van of his age if he does not look beyond the covers of his books. Wonder what made a man bachelor of his dog who goes about the campus sarking furiously at men students and passing up the women? "I am not so much interested in his being severely punished as I am in seeing the man above them caught, the bootlegger who sold them the liquor." So spoke the mother of Milton Beach, who lies dangerous injured by a high school boy who was on a "wild party," and who with his companions admitted having liquor. THE REAL KILLER Mrs. Beach not only shows a very great charity. She also shows an appreciation of the real meaning of the terrible play. Whether the wine was obtained from a bootlegger or whether the boy made it himself, as he says, the significance of the occurrence is the same. It is very unlikely that the boy would have followed the lead of his tragic fit of temper if he had not seen drinking. The University of Minnesota has opened a garage under its auditorium for the convenience of the faculty. Fate of Rich Saar Valley Is Major Problem Facing Franco-German Meet Paris, Oct. 15, (UIP)—Still one more of the major thorny problems left by the World War is expected to be solved when French and German experts get together shortly in Paris to consider the fate of the rich Sir Saul The issues involved are important since the Sanr, which has an area of 760 square miles, is rich in coal resources. The industry was industrially during the past 10 years under the waterful care of French矿业 valuables metallurgical properties. At present the territory belongs at neither to France nor to Germany.

She hated to carry out her plans but she felt that she Within half an hour, she was standing in one of Lawrence's department stores, plumbing with the wife of the owner, and having related how she belonged to one of the most aristocratic families of New York that had come west to be one of the pioneer families of the "best" people, and their property was great in both quantity and quality. Thus she tailed for a long time, but with her eyes fixed on another whether to be digested at her beautiful speech (truth, her appearance was anything but aristocratic) or to be who else was. Was it true or not? Who knew? Send the Kansan home.

New Cafeteria in Union Building There was a clash at the Peace Conference between two of the three big personalities—the Marshall and President Wilson. Clemenone demanded that the whole of the Saar Valley be burdened over to France, but they put out saying that nearly 50 per cent of the population was German; Lloyd of George supervised the meeting, verging views led to a crisis but the situation was saved by the compromise plan whereunder the Saar was given to the trusteeship of the Dane. Peace Conference Clash Still another five years have to run before the pleblicite is due to take place. Over this period, France will be able to boost the financial gain she has sown. Why, then, has she connected to confer with official German delegates regarding the country's fate five years ago and the time settled at Verville? Recently an official demurche was made to French Qual D'Ormay from Germany for the first time, and Germany buy the coal mines back from France for the coal mines from the French foreign the right of plboise, the territory returning automatically to Germany. The answer comes back from the German aide. Germany is anxious to help, but she has never over, she is willing to pay, not by any system of credit but in honest French public opinion looks somewhat surprised upon the forthcoming election of a new leader. French capital has been sunk in the Saar and that to consent to hand over the territory five years before the vote would be integrated diplomacy. French Suspicious Whatever the two Power conference decisions will require to have the approval of the League of Nations, the German states and French are satisfied with the offer the Germans make for the purchase of the mines, there will be general agreement. I present the mines to the German state with a record of fine quality of coal annually. It Pays to Look Well!

"These very stalking posters were sent from various railway companies in Europe, and show many examples of their work," the said Mise Rosemary Ketcham, head of the department of design. "The models they provide are three though there are certain ones employing the flower treatment. One is in the form of a bulb-like structure, and was used extensively during the past year in Germany, particularly in the Zoological Garden there. This poster is in brilliant colors and shows a zebra with a parrot perched on its back." "A strikingly modern Swiss poster shows a huge white butterfly on a branch in treatment. Another excellent example from Switzerland shows Laeche in treatment." This exhibit is open to the public and will be on display during the reminder of this week and next week. An exhibit of jewelry and beaten metal work is also on display in the Art Building. This exhibit consists of prize work from high schools in various parts of the country which has designed or created it, to try to show the advanced work which is being done in some of the high schools in the country, of the work is highly professional, representing work done by students in certain technical high schools in other countries.
