1928-1929 JAYHAWKER
The Jayhawker, the chronicener of events for the school year 1928-1929, today made its appearance on the campus. Many new features have been added to the year book, which make it an interesting and accurate account of events. The new Jayhawker has more than lived up to the standards of quality which have been set up in years past. The editors and all those who had a part in editing the Jayhawker are to be congratulated.
The student body as a whole is, of course, greatly interested in the new Jaynawkner. But it is the seniors of this year who have a special and sentimental interest in it. For them, the annual is a living record of their last year in the University—of their graduation. The annual belongs more particularly to them than to any other class; it commemorates a year in their lives which has been half happy, half sad. The happiness lies in the fact that they are about to be graduated after four years of earnest endeavor in the classroom; sadness centers around the thought that they are saying farewell to under-graduate days and to the University of Kansas. Yes, it is the present seniors who, in later years will book sentimentally through the 1928-'29 Jaynawkner, recognizing familiar faces and recalling happy incidents.
And then there is the one about the boy who got to his girl's house at 11 o'clock and got home soon after, but he didn't say soon after what.
A SUCCESSFUL DEBATE SEASON
The debate team has at last reached the point where it can boast of a very successful season. It has even surpassed other years when Kansas won the Missouri Valley championship. In times past, not only in the University, but elsewhere, the interest died when it came to debate and other such activities. At the debates given at the University formerly very few persons have attended and those who did so, showed very little interest in what was going on before them. So many of them attended merely because they were required to do so, or some friend of theirs was on the team. Of course, there are always some students who take interest in such subjects because it counts as an activity for them.
There is plenty of proof to show that this season has been successful. In the first place, there have been thirty-three debates held by theams, with thirteen topics discussed. The most topics that had ever been argued before was four. Twenty-three talks took place in the discussions, a large percentage for an enrollment if 4,000 students.
The average attendance at the debates was approximately 150, which is good considering that it takes some time to get an activity such as this back on its feet again.
The subjects for debate have been
of a varied nature, ranging from the more serious subjects to matters that are of closer interest to college students, as "Rushing Rules," etc. Of course, there is so much going on in college life, that the students usually attend those things that are more interesting and contain more life, and debates bring of a more or less cut and dried nature, it is sometimes tresome to sit through a long argument over something far removed from the students' lives.
This year has proved conclusively that debate can be made a success if the interest is taken in it by the student body and subjects closer to the university are discussed.

SENIOR CRAMMING
Many, wise in the harmful and
meticulous features of education, are
enwailing the tendency on the part
of a great number of college seniors
a save up extra work until their last
ear or last semester. There is a
real deal of this overloading toward
he end, and the value of such prac-
cesses is certainly questionable.
More activities confront the average senior, than the average representative of any other class. This necessarily detracts from scholastic work, and the actual process of "getting" the substance from the courses in which they are enrolled. Many who have taken extra hours in their last year have regretted it afterward. They were so rushed and harassed with their varied activities and classes, that they finished with a negligible perspective of their university career. Each year in college becomes more valuable, not only in amassing knowledge, but in learning how to apply it, in "learning the ropes" of his mind.
If an extra course remains to be taken next year in addition to the regular schedule, try to get it out of the way in summer school or through correspondence. One cannot help be decidedly missed to believe that the senior who takes a light schedule, has a marked advantage over the every-busy one who is worried about meeting requirements. Think it over, prospective graduate of 1929.
PROFESSIONS AND MENTAL AGE
"Tell me your profession and I'll tell you your mental age" or vice versa may soon be an established reality if recent researches of mental scores by a psychology professor at Colgate University in Hamilton, N. Y., are found authentic.
By the professor's mental age rating process editors, lawyers, college teachers, engineers and a few other professional people have been found to have the highest mental age, that of 18 years or more, while physicians, insurance salesmen and lesser business luminaries have a mental age of from 16.5 to 17.9 years. Further down the mental age scale, butchers, vaudeville actors, policemen and barbers have a mentality of about 13 years, while the mentality of unskilled laborers rank only about 9.5 to 10.9 years.
If the mental age scoring device progresses as people would like it to, individuals of lesser mentality, but who desire to be known as more brilliant than their actual brain power warrants, would elect a high ranking profession, like that of an editor, lawyer or college teacher—and presta! they would have a mental age of 18 years or more. In such cases their professions would serve as passports to higher positions. They might be able to "get by" the boss for a little while provided he was in a profession requiring a mental age of only about 13 years.
Of course obstacles might arise if a person of lower mentality decided on a profession requiring higher mental age. In the first place he would probably have a difficult time passing even a psychology mental rating examination but if it would work, would it not be marvelous to be regarded as brilliant mentally just because your profession called for it?
Broadcasting Stations of Million Watts Power Are Predicted by Radio Expert
Washington—Broadcasting stations with a million watts power, twenty times as much as the most powerful stations licensed today, were forecast here this morning by Edgar H. Felix, New York radio consultant, speaking before the Institute of Radio Engineers.
"It is quite within the scope of the engineer's imagination to visualize ultimately a broadcasting system comprising transmitters of a million watt power," said Mr. Felix. "Compared with other system in daily use this is by no means a large unit; the power bill for such a broadcasting station might run from fifty to one hundred dollars an hour. We use several hundred times that power in transporting week-end excursionists to a single metropolis bathing bench, and certainly radio broadcasting is of at least comparable importance in our daily lives. While a million watts

- substantial increase in the power of broadcasting, such power need not be feared as a dangerous monster.
"A system of broadcasting with transmitters of this order of power would require somewhat altered retransmission bandwidth, which could less敏感, and instead of an exposed aerial system we would use an adjustable pickup means shielded from the field strength determined by the field strength of the nearest broadcasting station. Stations of such power could serve the centers of population in a way that minimizes distance from congested centers. It is quite conceivable that receiver development could keep pace with production of increased powers of the order suggested.
"Alllections of wavelengths under these conditions would be simplified because the high-grade service range much requires as much as five hundred miles. Ninety such stations spread geographically over a two-week program choices at any point, and may be compared with present conditions where perhaps less than 40 mils are needed within the wide high grade service range of any broadcasting station. The cost of receivers would be lower, and quality of reproduction improved, with the consequent result that reception be continuously increased. This is turn would have a healthy effect on the economic position of the broadband network."
"But such a system of broadcasting would also be considerably more costly than the present annual maintenance expense of approximately thirty or thirty-five million dollars. It might cost one hundred times as much as it costs a year or more to maintain ninety stations of this order of power," said Mr. Felix.
This is one way of reducing the anneaux of man-made interference, rom electrical apparatus in the home, to their efficiency as efficiently powerful, then such relatively weak interference will have little effect. Now, however, and until

"The real difficulty lies in the modernization of household equipment such as electric fans, oil burners, each with different sizes, vacuum cleaners, and violay ray machines," he said. "All of these must be intermixed in mind. It is difficult to estimate the cost to the electrical industry of the necessary modification of such equipment objective, but as nearly as can be estimated, the equipment of all vacuums, cleaning machines, oil burners, and sewing machines with chokes and filters so that they can be operated from the same pump." The sensitivity at present used without noticeable interference would have been about ten million dollars for 1928.
