MAKING IT SAFE
SUNDAY. APRIL 28,1929
Unaffected bystanders are afforded considerable amusement by the efforts of the Oklahoma Baptist University to emulate the University of Missouri in expelling faculty members imbued with the spirit of psychological and sociological research. The original episode at Columbia provided plenty of amusement, but this later instance is little less than ridiculous. It is just like the bick town aping the big burge. Oklahoma Baptist University must need the publicity. There could be little other reason for stealing Columbia's stuff.
A refreshingly original note is added to the Oklahoma episode, however, in the fact that the discharged faculty members declare they never intended the questionnaires to be circulated among students. Rather, they were to be the basis of study on the morals of inmates of the state penitentiary.
But this does not excuse the distributors of the nefarious literature The university administration die right in discharging them.
We must keep our penitentiaries fit places for our boys and girls.
PROGRESS
Improvement note for humanity Professor Baker of Yale says modern speech is becoming shorter.
Tales of the cruetty of the days of the Inquisition, of the unusually brutal and studied methods of dealing out horrible deaths in the dark days of the middle age, and of the careless abandon with which lives were swum off in feudal Europe, have harrised and fascinated readers of the modern era for many years.
With a great hymn of thanksgiving the progress of this modern, intellectual world over those doubtful days must be celebrated. A prayer must be intenDED for the advance of our present civilization over the unenlightened peoples of the Dark Ages. Stepping from those uncertain times to the brilliance of the twentieth century some measure of the work of man in the intervening years may be seen. From the meeting of the League of Nations, including most of the nations of the civilized world, comes the news that that enlightened body has outlawed the use of poisonous gases and the spreading of deadly disease germs in modern warfare.
DRUNKEN DRIVERS
A drunken driver in Kansas City, who headed his car into a group of school children, injuring three, has been sentenced to two years in prison. This is the minimum prison sentence and was arrived at after twenty minutes of deliberation by the jury.
Every person who values his own life and that of others, will agree that the sentence was too light. The man should have been given the maximum sentence. Perhaps he would then decide that society values the lives of its members more than it regards his
affinity for liquor and its disastrous combination with an automobile.
communication with an automobile.
The problem of the drunken drive is a serious one. He is no longer a sane, thinking individual and has a mercy the lives of everyone about him. He is a ruthless shutterer nothing less than a brutal murderer. The innocent are victims of his acts. The penalty for the drunken driver is not heavy enough. A minimum sentence of five years would not be unjust for the crime, and would serve as a reminder for those who would mix automobiles with their drinks, Liquor has many evils, and automobiles have come in for their share of condemnation, but the two together make a combination that is both in tolerable and barbarous.
We're waiting to pass final judgment on Ben Hibb's love and entire satisfaction with all things Kansan by whether or not he finds the one-and-only girl back in Penn's wood lot.
CHILD CRIME
Results of a study of juvenile delinquency, have been made public recently by the Haumes subcommission on causes and effects of crime. The conclusion would seem to be that there is no direct relation between the congestion of population in the crowded districts of a large city and the degree of delinquency, but that bad housing conditions have a distinct bearing on the crime rate. Misdirected energies and lack of wholesome play interests seem to underlie a large part of the cases which are not concerned with serious thefts.
Much of the problem is brought about by adults who provide the places where juveniles find recreation. Where laws have been made to regulate such spare-time activities, owners wink at violations. This in itself tends to teach the children to violate inconvenient laws. Perhaps the surest means of reducing juvenile delinquency is to find some means of eliminating vivacious adults who are only too eager to feed upon abnormal conditions.
We're not kicking about how much macclay there is on stamps. What we kick about is how much of that macclay clicks to one's master after the stamp is licked.
DEBENTURE VIEWS OF HOOVER
President Hoover's intention to veto the debureau plan is in line with his views announced prior to his election in November. The administration leaders are bending every effort to win support to a practical measure based on orderly marketing.
The reason for President Hoover's rejection of the debenture is that he regards it as dangerous and economically unbound—stating that the weakness of the proposal lies in that it would not benefit the farmer. The framers of the measure say the debenture would reflect back to the farmer by stimulating exports and creating a domestic scarcity which would raise the American price above the world price by the amount of the debenture. The President believes the bill would make the situation worse. Framers of the provision assume that the debenture benefits would be reflected back to the farmer. Administration economists take the ground that in practice the larger part would be intercepted by speculators, exporters and agents, with the result that the farmer would still be wanting aid. They contend that the plan promises relief rather than cure, their conclusion being that it does not stimulate co-operation, the only thing that will place agriculture on a sound basis.
Missouri was naughty to approach the ultra-sophisticated college student with a sex questionnaire but Okahoma—for shame! To pervert a lovely, penitent convict right in the process of revamped morals!
That new 16 cylinder car doesn't appeal to us. It's hard enough to keep a fourth that number knocking.

Conductor of Minneapolis Symphony Possesses International Background
Interest in the forthcoming concert by the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra is to play at the Auditorium on Wednesday, May 1, centers around the orchestra's remarkable conductor, Henri Verbrughgen. Mr. Verbrughgen, to borrow the characterization of a nöticed titular, "is proof of the famous old doctrine attributed to Richard Strassus, that 'there are no good or bad orchestra; there are only good or bad conductors.'"
The present year is Mr. Verbruggehuis's fifth term as conductor of the quarter century-old Minneapolis Symphony. During this time he has won a national reputation as one of the foremost conductors of America. But
"Inside Stuff"
Surprising bits of information come to the Kansan copy dock now and then. 'Frinstance, some reporter solemnly declared in a recent story that Verdigi was born on Oct. 15, 1930. Another located the local armory at 1730 Alabama street.
Bath were "psychological" errors, temporary breakdowns of the old thinking machinery, Vergal$^{2}$: 2.000th anniversary came in 1930, and the reporter had that on his mind. The model house shown in connection with the better homes exposition at the armory is at 1730 Alabama.
Both of these were caught by alert copreaders, but when the copreader happens to have a brain quick at the same time a reporter does. . . Well, Insider hits a corner in which he hide his blush of shame.

FOUNDED BY FRANKLIN
At the end of the American Philosophical Society, which closed its three-day meeting in Philadelphia, an enrollment was made last night of a projected new cultural center for the study and guidance of "mankind old and young." A total indecomposition of 450 members in all parts of the world, including the erection of a stately $1,000,000 building on the Philadelphia Parkway and an endowment fund of $250,000 to finance inquiry in all branches of learning.
The society will be giving up something in this move. Its Philosophical Hall has stood for 140 years and is hosting the presence Hall—erected the year George Washington became President. But the old building is not fireproof, and quite aside from limitations of its size, it also houses the collections, which include 13,800 Franklin manuscripts; Jefferson's first draft of the Declaration; Frank Lloyd Wright's drawings; besides the valuable scientific library. The new Philosophical Hall will, of course, be fireproof. Its site is given the privilege to exchange for the present location.
Rekoning from the "junto" founded by Franklin in 1727, the society is more than 200 years old, which led to the selection of Fifteen of its members were signers of the Declaration. Nine Presidents have been elected from its membership. Jefferson, Madison, Buehan, Grant, Wilson, and Hoover. The growth and plan of such an institution are of interest not merely in the valleys of the Deaware.

The controversy as to whether an "N" or a Pila Beta Kappa key is the most cherished thing is still bounding us. But now the form in which we have received papers has joined in a nation-wide argument as to the probability of successful athletes drawing salaries based on the value that their work has in bally-housing the college. Some detail it necessary to reward the athlete.
The conductor was born at Brussels, Belgium, of an old family of German immigrants. It was intended that the son of his family become a surgeon, but he was early permitted to study at Thelpinval and was in its instrument. *Interested friends who heard the boy play, friends who heard the girl play, friends Geneyake, the noted Belgian virtuoso, who when he heard young Vertec, he played with him, who enrolled in his own art classes, At the age of fourteen, Yayeau brought young Vertecbers to London for his
After a time, Verburghoven took up a very minor position in the Wales Symphony orchestra, but his ability to perform concert-master. Subsequently he was made assistant conductor of the Glasgow Symphony. Followed by a tenure as director in Russia, France, Belgium and Germany. At London, in 1914, be was invited to direct the famous Carnegie Orchestra and the following year to conduct the Beechwood-Brains-Bach festival. All of which finally established his name as conductor of the Symphony orchestra in doctors. He accepted the post of conductor of the Symphony orchestra at Sydney, Australia, and after eight years in concert-master where he has since remained.
The School of Fine Arts, which is sponsoring the concert by the Minnesota Symphony orchestra, is bringing 120 musicians to music lovers. The $2,500,000 figure represents the amount of money that some 600 public airplated citizens of Minneapolis have invested in their instruments over twenty-five years of its existence.
This huge amount of money represents the difference between the actual cost of the orchestra and the total amount of the orchestra can earn by capacity houses throughout its sonata. But the Minimaudio base symphony was one of their most highly prized possessions. Every member of the ensemble was one of its most symphony was one of their most highly prized possessions.

The students receive tuition and expenses of exceptional scholars who graze the campus with their dizzying erudition. The athletes give all and get nothing, because they have no scholarships, scholars take all and give nothing.

The concreteness of these findings is expressed adequately in a quotation from Counselor Park included in Dean Dawes's book *How to apply the legitimate type is diminishing*. This sort of action is regarded on our campus as "high school stuff". There is a very definite and appreciable attitude to disfavor in our student body toward counselors. In contrast to the general attitude to

In contrast to the general attitude towards students, Dean Doyle's survey shows that in the opinion of deans of men and presidents of our univer-
stories the student of today has higher ideals and purposes, does better school work, can be more standard of moral conduct, than the student of any preceding generation
People have the habit of setting students upon a pedestal and saying "I'm from other people. Whenever you make a mistake or reveal any of the common weaknesses of other people, it's because of it." For *it*," Consequently if a student does something it is news. If any one else in the perpetrator it is just another person.

As Others See It
The newly founded Institute of Human Relations at Yale University has appropriately adopted as its first subject for study that ancient bulkwork of the family - the president. Angela Yale, then introduces the problem:
A LARGE ORDER
Here we have one of the oldest of human institutions which, under the conditions of contemporary life, is being subjected to great strain and from which, when badly conditioned, there seem to flow many streams of life. We have a life of the members as well as the society which supports them.
As a concrete case, Dr. Angell cite the matter of juvenile delinquency which dislocates, in turn, medical, psychological and psychiatric problems, and the need for the psychologist may aid in their solution, but complete understanding is only available through a study of the victim's family. So with other social agencies the victim must be 'the manner in which the dominant social agencies on our time impinge on the family, influences its operations and are, in turn, financed by it. This phase alone has no scope, as Doctor Angell point out;
What, for example, is the consequence for family life of the organization and its industries? Are their factors here which are incompatible with the development of the family's communities within the family itself which can be made to meet this situation? How does it affect the family's health and affect the family? Are its effects all positive and constructive or are there some then neglected features? How do the hospitalization facilities of the various communities, and couples in the family life of the group? Are they serving their nominal function effectively, and if not, where and how does the organization influence them?
Many other issues might be raised, But the questions listed are sufficient to show what a large order the institute has undergone. The family alone might be extended indefinitely. But even if the institute limits its research to the major aspects of the problem, its work should be augmented by the handling of changing social conditions.

"The closer you look the less you see!"
That's what the magician used to say when he pulled his rabbits out of a silk hat. But don't take it as your slogan when you come to buy a suit of clothes. For the most important part of a suit is the part you can't see unless you do look closely!
The inner construction and tailoring—that's where the mystery lies. Yet it is this which determines whether a suit will keep its style or turn into an unshapely caricature of its former self!
So we advise: Buy Society Brand. For it is well known that these clothes are made with certain exclusive tailoring processes. Result: your Society Brand suit retains its smart lines as long as you wear it!
