SPRING—EH WHAT?
FRIDAY, MARCH 8. 1999
It is needless to say that spring is here, but—well, it clipped out after all. Indications all over the campus point to the definite passage of winter with its long siege of snow and frigid temperatures. Spring is rapidly appearing in all to glory. Hill Fords have emerged from bibernation and are once again chugging their way, or in some one else's way down Oread avenue. The 'Laws' are congregating hourly at their old stand. Furs are becoming rarer, and many men have been appearing without overcorns or sheepkins. One brave soul actually ventured forth without even cent or waistout. At this rate rolled sleeves and open collars soon should be in popu
The tennis courts are being rolled and marked, and have been used quite frequently the past few days. Golf attracts a few enthusiasts, and motorizing many more. As soon as the ground dries sufficiently one may expect to see the artists, poets, entomologists, botanists and geologists seeking free modes of expression or research. Grass and tree leaves are busily at work holding the trees of the past winter. The birds are showing up in greater numbers each day, and are building their nests.
All this should go to prove that spring is really here at last, after many students had begun to think that it never would come.
FLOOD CONTROL
The Mississippi food control act which authorizes the expenditure of $25,000,000 for flood control was one of the outstanding bills passed by the seventh congress. The president had held that local communities should be required to pay a part of the cost but the bill carried a specific declaration against local contributions except in the coection between Cape Girardeau, Mo., and Rock Island—which districts are to contribute at least one third of the cost of the work on this section.
Floods in the Mississippi river have assumed such an amazing proportions that their control should be a matter of national concern. Where human life and valuable property are in danger of destruction yearly it is the duty of the national government to assume control. To be effective and thorough, control measures must be on such a gigantic scale as to be quite beyond the resources of the individual state. It is not possible for the floods to be controlled in one year or even in a score of years. The fact to be considered, however, is that a start has been made toward the construction of levees and drainage areas which will aid in protecting life and property along the Mississippi.
Among the courses in which John Student enrolled he found one that he believed was a "pipe." The assignments were few and indefinite; it did not seem to matter whether they were done at all. The class drifted along in this manner for about fifteen weeks of the semester.
"PIPE" COURSES
Suddenly the professor came to the
realization that the term was nearly ended and that the students had not accomplished anything. He began to assign long library readings and detailed original work. He grew irritable when the students dared to ask why the burden of work had not been equitably distributed throughout the semester. The professor assumed the attitude of "You do this work or I'll flunk you." John exerted every energy to do the extra work and at the same time study for the finals. The final in the supposedly "pipe" course was long and detailed and covered minutely the last minute splurge of work. John would not have been able to press the examination had it not been for the fact that the student who sat next to him had prepared answers to a set of final questions given in the same course the year before and the questions presented were practically the same. A little cribbing saved John from utterly "tanking the "pipe" course.
SPEED RACES
An attempt will soon be made to break the present world's speed record of 207.55 miles per hour held by J. M. White, at the third annual international motor classic. Once again machines of terrific power will hurle blindly over the sand aerials, carrying with them men who are willing to risk their lives for a little fame. Motor races at such speeds seem to have as little economic significance as any of the vast array of contests that are flooding the papers today. There will never be trafficways where such tremendous speeds can be used; travel at a greater speed than man can control is not practicable at any rate. Motors of the power and speed of Major Seegrawe and Mr. White's will not be of value for conveyance machines but might find use in some other field. Is this kind of international speed race) to continue year after year, then? Rather than risking life and spending money in this energy and satisfy their craving for excitement in some more fruitful line.
DIRECT ELECTION
One of the reasons why only 49 to 60 per cent of the qualified voters exercise their privileges in national elections is that there is no incentive for a person to vote when he realizes that it will not affect the outcome of the content. Our present electoral system deprives the minority votes from exercising any influence whatsoever in the college because the entire vote is cast as the majority rules. As a means of making the president more representative of the people, a plan of choosing the chief executive by a direct popular vote is being considered by students of government and we see the subject of several resolutions pending in congress. The present plan is unrepresentative in character because it is possible to elect minority candidates by swinging the electoral votes of a few large states. It is in the pivotal states that losses on corrupt politicians work the hardest because a few votes curfew for their side may determine the outcome of the election.
When people see that their vote has no influence in the election they lose interest and fail to participate in future contests. As the South stood before the last election, every state in that section would have given at least one electoral vote to the Republican party had the popular vote been the basis of the count in the electoral college. If a more direct method of election were used the parties would campaign over a wide territory rather than concentrate their activities in one pivotal state. As a result of this a greater number of voters would be stimulated to action and this would be a better step toward better government.

Hoover Crime Inquiry May Plumb Defects in Personality
Washington.—With President Hoover's imaginary promise of a "national commission for a searching investigation of the whole structure of our Federal system of jurisprudence," those interested in the intricate problems of human behavior see the beginnings of another of those famous Hoover inquiries that have already revolutionized ideas and relations in the field of business and the application of science to industry.
(Release Patch)
Crime in all its aspects will necessarily be considered by the proposed commission, although its recommendations and primary interests will be concerned with Federal laws and courts, particularly the enforcement of the 18th amendment. Since criminals and personalities do not change with mere legal jurisdictions, the fundamental facts and theories developed will be of interest to state, and local police departments and courts that have to cop
Today's Best Editorial
J. W. M.
President Heerom on his first day in office confronts a Mexican revolution as widespread and well organized an any one of the half-doken in recent American history. Eight states, among them the important port state of Vera Crus, are in control of revolving troops.
President Gill Gil has acted promptly and decisively, or cope with the assaults by the strongest living Mexican leader, has succeeded the crippled General Joan Amaro as president of the military operations against the rebels. All Federal troop* have been mobilized, citizenship is imposed and civil institutions are restored.
MEXICO REVOLUTION
General Jesus Maria Aguirre, friend of Orhegan, leading revolutionary forces in the state of Vera Crush, is in general command. He is inided by such prominent Medici diaries as General Ferdinand II, who was state of Siono; Governor Fausto Torente, governor of Siono; and Gen. Antonio Zorrilla, brother of Jesus Maria Aguirre.
The revolution is in line with the worst Mexican tradition. It grows out of dissatisfaction with the action of the government and Convention in apparently favoring the candidacy of Pascuell Oriz Rubio for the presidency. It is the act of discontented factions who prefer bishop Mariano as a means of achieving power;
Campus Opinion
There should be no sympathy with the revolutionists in this country. They are interrupting the fine process which Mexico has made in the establishment of order and in eco-identity. Yet, there is no proof of the pretension: in Mexico's only hope of a continuance of that progress. —Brooklyn Eagle

The athletic board has discovered and taken notice at last that there is betting on the outcome of intracapital team tournaments, who happened to be leading in the basketball tournament have been expelled from participating in the event, and they are the ones of the year. It seems that such a thing was unknown in the dim past when betting was confined to the sports office; the board in an effort to keep the betting has more or less shifted to the individual fraternity teams, and so

Fundamental Facts Needed
The first and most direct step in the restructuring of our system of criminal justice" will probably be a stocktaking of the national police force. We should make it more efficient and effective in administering and enforcing the laws that now exist. Essentially this reorganization of the production methods of a great factory, using a large number of machines, that the old management had used.
But while the reorganization is in progress there will arise the need for counsel. It is important to discovery of fundamental facts. The old logical ideals of the sanctity of precedent probably will be found to be useful in business. So early in the Hoover investigation of crime there are foreseen questions and the personalities that fill our course and jails. There may be expected questionnaires of the need for public protection with the maximum of indictments, psychiatrist, psychologist, physician, sociologist studying the mental and physical attribute of man will be identified, the lawyer, judge and policeman.
Our Contemporaries
Facts will be utilized by Hoover, the president, as effectively as by Hoover, the engineer or the administrator. Even the most elemental and often the least important are lacking for the guidance of the national jurisprudence investigation, if it considers the wide reports of public opinion on sensational diseases, known as crime, must be classified and reported as efficiently as health departments report.
In President Hoover's pronouncement that "in public health the disastrous new era" there is promise that this new scientific progress will be made that would suffer. The man who saved the Belgian people during the World War, who then rescued the herds of cattle and sheep left in Europe, believes that health is as much a concern of government as well as of people's better health is forecast in his statement that "many sections of our population suffer from disease the eradication of which are more matter of administration and moderate expense."

Who has not been discovered typographical errors in a book and exhibited them with great pride in his own cleverness? For some reason or other people they might think that errors are not all unusual, and entirely unpleasant.
But when there was only one great book published in a year, and persevered through its greater co-operation between author, editor, and proofreader. The American mind has become increasingly aware of the importance every kind. We will just have to cultivate a seventh sense to tell us what the writer meant by that awful conundrum.
So we leave a little inconvenience at the price of a great culture.

THE POLICE PLAY PAYS
We were one of the first two million years old, was beaten by his parents after going A. W. O. L. the other day he was a witch in a school building with candy and other such things provided by the police. This reminds us that we have never heard of a missing child from a police station or by the law, who was not piled with all sorts of things, from candy to crumbs and fire engines, in a very general sense. We are so great many children are lost every year, and as most of them are recovering, it is considerable. It seems to us unjust that the police should pay it out of their own pocket. Any business would allow it to be charged as expenses. Is not the entertainment of a child an important and as likely source of entertainment of a lady buyer? There should be a fund to take care of this "Cake and Candy" which should be the "Cake and Candy" that should be fitted by fines leaved against those who deliberately let someone else get into the Island. — The New World World

The men nominated for these New York judgeships had been indored by har association and by others competent to assess their abilities. The officers were urged to Gen. Sargent on the basis of morit, regardless of politics. That they were well fitted to serve as judges was imputed to their experience; they were raised to the effect that those without records of partisan service. New York politicians had not heard of them as having served their time in the trencher of party warfare. They were asked to grief over the debased opposition that developed. Indeed, it indicates that the political leaders in New York regard federal judgeships as party

THE ITALIA VERDICT
The report of the Italian commission, which was appointed to investigate the loss of the Italy and to fix the responsibility for the series of attacks in the disaster, could do nothing else than blame the blame at the door of Gen. Umberto Noble. Six months were spent in arriving at the facts. It is a sad story and the verdict will remain unchanged. But he was placed in the public mind so
It it ought to be said in extenuation of General Noble, who allowed him to remain behind, that his injuries and suffering affected his judgment, and that he perily was not in the full possession of a character great to charm a victorious great and brave man.
There are other thing3 in the commission's report - praise for those that assisted in the rescue of men stranded from all blame of Captains Zappi and Marlano. The mystery relating to the disappearance of a Swedish meteorologist of the expedition is not cleared up. No proof of cannibalism is adduced, and the professor died from natural causes.

It will be remembered that the Italian, after a flight across Europe and after reaching the pole, plunged to the ice, injuring General Nobile, who was killed. Then they the ship arose in the air with six members of the crew, who, together with the ship itself, were never seen afterward. This was in the early summer of 1928. Heroic efforts were made by scientists to find the lost explorers.
