MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1929 THE FRESHMAN GROUP Many upperclassmen at the University found their first close friend on the campus by attending meetings of the freeman "Y" group. These friendships alone have reminded them for the little time they spent at the meetings. And this says nothing of the opportunities offered for faculty contacts and discussions of personal problems provided by the sessions. A full program has been worked out carefully by the new students committee of the Y. M. C. A. The freshman fellowship group on the University Y, M, C, A will hold its first meeting of the new term tomorrow evening. A large number of new men have already become acquainted with the Y, M, C, A. Through its two freshmen hikes and other events during the past two weeks. They will be on hand to make up the freshman group which will organize and hold regular meetings through the year. Other new men not yet acquired with the organization will do well to attend this meeting, and, besides finding a number of new friends, enter into a wholesome and valuable activity, which should afford both recreation and inspiration inside from the grind of books and classes which is just starting. It is for you, freshmen. Come and get it. The height of literal interpretation is demonstrated by the student who caught cold Friday night at an "open house." THE FRONT STEPS And again the steps of various local University buildings are being redecorated by faintest students or toilers coming out for air. Perhaps they are interested in spending the brief ten minutes between classes observing human nature, but human nature feels rather conscious being observed so steadily at every turn. If they are overworked and tired students seeking a short relaxation, they should consider the general principles of the thing. They are disfiguring the landscape and they are decidedly blocking the entrance of harrying students. Loitering makes a bad impression, anyway. The important business of choosing a successor being out of the way, perhaps Thomas A. Edison now can turn his genius toward filling the world's great need for a self-willing yo-yo. "TOLD YOU SO" Paul Porter is going right ahead startling folks on a nationwide scale, just as he did a couple of years ago on a campus-wide scale at the University. Eluding private detectives, facing admittedly false conspiracy charges, mixing in the hottest of the nation's biggest labor disturbances, traveling from land to land for study and observation, and writing for leading critical publications of the country, he has followed closely the trail upon which he started here. An impromptu bath in Potter Lake while acting as the militant editor of The Kanman, was one of his early adventures. He had ventured to criticize freshman having. For two years he was a guiding hand of the Dove, that peacefully named pink sheet which stirred up much discussion, and which has sunk into general oblivion since his graduation. He seemed always at the seat of trouble, and, strangely enough, his position always seemed impregnable because he had assumed it through reasoning and conviction. And now that he has passed on from the campus, his friends and enemies alike, and he has many of both, are seeing their expectations fulfilled. Together they may say, "I told you so," but with vastly different meaning. To one it means Paul is stirring up a lot of trouble for the nation; for the other it means that he is going on with a firm purpose and cour age of conviction to expose and but for the maladaptations of contemptor life which he visualizes so keenly, even as he did with the faults he saw on the campus. Which ever view one takes, one may be sure that wherever the trouble is, Paul will be there, and wherever Paul is, the world is going to hear from him. And when Paul gets to heaven, it is going to be an uncomfortable day for the conservative angels. Judging from the number of students gathered around many professors' deks before classes the art of 'apple polishing' is not to be dropped from the curriculum this year. CUTTING CLASSES They have started, meaning the classes, which caused us to spend hours figuring, arranging and rearranging, standing in lines, and having things signed. With the starting of these classes, probably will start the old collegiate custom of cutting classes. It is heard, and can and will, be heard that a student is allowed one cut for each hour of credit received in any course. In fact, this belief has sort of developed into a tradition among the students, but it does not always hold true. Some instructors follow this plan of requiring attendance, and lower your grade for each cut you have over the allowed number. Other instructors will not tolerate a student's absence from class under any circumstances, except sickness. And a few permit a student to cut class as often as be desires. Cutting classes is a bad habit to fall into. Just as you would not think of building a house on a foundation of sand, you should take into mind the necessity of a firm and strong foundation for your future education. This strong foundation cannot be secured unless the student attends class every day, building and adding to his knowledge. Cutting class puts sand in the foundation. NIGHT FOOTBALI Our freshman friend confided to us that she came to K. U., because her chum had lost 15 pounds climbing the Hill last year. Old grades continually lament the passing of some tradition of college which was the mainstay of their youth. Now come powerful floodlights to illuminate stadium fields for football games. How do the old boys feel about it anyway? They love to recount the glorious games in which their team by superb playing, and often physical help from the cheering section won over the opinion. "But the next year on their field was different," they will add. Yes, things are changing in our college football circles. No longer is an athlete openly paid ten dollars a game; rather he winds an eight day clock at eighty dollars per, and old Alumnaus who whept it for Alumni Mater so gloriously in his youth comes back after the day's work and there before him appears the field in a blaze of lights. Most university students' bucket books this time of year resemble university students' bucket books last year this time. A law student disguised as a rainbow in pail knickers and all the accessories was heard to remark after surveying the passing women thoughtfully, "I guess these women are really coming back to long hair and skirts and getting some sense about their dress at last." Railroad, 1,100 Miles Long, Is Cause of Long Brewing Sino-Soviet Affair Washington—A railway track 109 miles long has been the cause of the war memoir that has hung over Northeastern Asia for the past several months. The Sino-Soviet difficulty developed in the controversy over control of the Chinese Eastern Railway. This railway, actually 1600 miles in length, is located in Manchester. Its headquarters are at Marina, a junction city in the heart of Manchester, and it stretches eastward to the Silienne frontier by way of Godin and Puerenchenya to Vladivostok on the Pacific and westward to Manchiya on the Today's Best Editorial - border of Aslatic Russia. SOUND ADVICE TO STUDENTS In one of the opening sessions of the University of Kansas yesterday, George O. Foster, registrar, informed that Mr. Foster would be given money, Mr. Foster urged that whatever total be spent should not be less than the hourly line of constructive education. Here is a timely word to the wife. For the tendency in modern schools is for the student to spend more money on clothes than for them to be a way of the world. Twenty years ago, parents could place their children in a college or university, pay the institution fee, provide for clothing and books, and then support them on $25 or $30 a month through the year. Of course, parents would have spent much but it offloaded. Few students twenty years ago required more than $500 a year for college education. That amount was a thousand dollars a year for each boy and girl who is vaccinated the privilege of a university education. And living have gone up in the meantime. It is just as well to have this list of advice from a man like George Foster. Whatever the school incident, he will provide his students with his funds—whether they are provided by his parents or whether he sarnes him by his own efforts. Compensation is a key factor in the social role that is greater. Every boy and girl wants a taste of fraternity or sorority and needs greater outing. And so it is hard to hold expenses in line. The University has taken a wise decision to allow the young men to acquire Chamberlain Holdley urged students who were prosided with automobiles to leave them at home and be allowed to enjoy life now. Now Mr. Foster makes the freshman to consider his expenses, to love life in the beneficent atmosphere of university life. He should always agent or w慰休 in his hubs. It is sound easy and we hope it does not fall on barren soil. For the habitions formed in college years are bound to cling to one in after life.

It was built by the Russians under the exertion regime. Until recently it has been operated by treaty agreement under the joint control of Russia and China. Several wwII bombings took over the entire administration of the railway and ejected from Manchuria all the Russian troops. A purification for this seizure that the Soviet government of Russia, in spite of numerous powerful protests, prevented in sparingly organized campaigns among Chinese nationals. The importance of this railway is significant in maneuver as it provides quick transportation from China on the Siberian line vin Haikou to Malia, and then to Nushan. The Siberian passenger many hours of valuable time, and often extreme discontinuity travelling the northern route to Vladivostok, Vladivostok, for with the exception of the slower and more low-levelable river transportation it gives rapid conveyance to cities. This makes the railway an important of highly fertile earth land. According to the authority of the United States Bureau of Commerce the export demand is about 100 million annually. And what is of more importance at the present, it takes from the sentenced ports to the rapidly developed industrial economy, household necessities and personal requirements of half a million emigrants every year. It is estimated that the population would rise by another million during the last twelve years. Marseille is being rightly called the new land of promise. Early in the century the Russians began to penetrate into Macedonia from north. By the end of the nineteenth century of Chinese have been pouring in from the South. A million Japanese have settled in its fertile colleges. In 1965 the city of Marseille was eight million. Today the vast amount of images from 27 to 70 million. It is a water with a tranquil conjecture to say and with a permanence to affirm the political pillows of China the population of Macedonia will double within a decade. Columbia, Mo.—Enrollment figures at the University of Missouri, according to S. Woodson Canada, regi- tern show, 3,913 students had registered for the full semester, an increase over the previous after matriculation time. The figures show 2,598 men and 3,113 women.

Only about a fifth of falling accidents that ended fatally occurred in public places and even less, 18 per cent, were incidental to employment. The other half — one out of every eight homebound falling disasters, and falling out of bed or over chairs was charged with being the cause in an out of each of these incidents.

A tenth of the fatal falls incident to employment were in connection with building construction, while a fifth were from scaffolds and staging. Islanders Discovered America, French Theory Audence Scoiler Mexico City. -That American, had commercial relationship with the Polynesian island before Colombia discovered America, is the theory of Dr Paul Rivet, anthropologist and doctor who now in the National University at Mexico City or exchange professor. A study of names of certain corn objects and baile agriculture products show linguistic coincidence between Peru and Oceania. These are day, Dr. Rivet believes, and to a common tongue far in the back, but to a transmission of names along with products from one continent to another. Other evidence also points to relationships between the Pacific Islands and僳iritic Americas, such as folk legends and the finding of objects of indebted Polynesian origin in America, reported at different times.
