A NEW OPPORTUNITY
The new semester which begins the day opens a new world of opportunity for the students at the University. The past semester is ended, the grades are recorded, and the jaws and sorrows attending the recording of grades have been earned.
Life for the student has marked new proportions, new possibilities with the beginning of the new semester. Students who have been here may look forward with a new gloom of hope for better success during the new term, and new students will come in imbued with high hopes of success in their quest for higher education.
New students, and old students are well, might preferably decide to work hard, play hard and to lend every effort toward the accomplishment of something really worthwhile during this semester. The record shows are bright and new and the figures to be placed on them will be the result of each individual's efforts. The tragedies of the past might well be forgotten in each student's determination to attend all his courses the semester and to conclude the term with a record flattering to the bright news sheets.
A FEMINIST
The first woman president of the National Congress, former mayor of the city of Bombay, researcher of Naibhan Gaudhli, pastor, feminist, humanitarian, orator, Stoopal Niadh, comes to the University for two addresses tomorrow. It is indeed lateate that the second computer can be opened with a visit from each a noted and gifted minister.
Her first address at an ullibrary convection conference tomorrow morning will be on the subject, "The Political Renaissance of India." She is qualified to speak on this topic by the experience of many years in the political life of India as a member of the Indian National Congress, of which she was elected the first woman president by votes of the entire country in 1925-30, and as the first woman mayor of Mumbai, previous to her service in Congress.
As a close co-worker with Mamatman Gandhi, and as an invaluable leader in his cause, she is uniquely qualified for her evening address on "Gandhi the Mystic Spinner."
Madame Naidu speaks with perfect and vivid English, with a force gained from speaking experiences in India. Before she came into prominence as a political, social and religious leader, Madame Naidu attracted attention all over the world with her works of literature.
WHOSE BUSINESS?
The city of New York employed more than 40,000 people and spent many millions of dollars in caring for the poor in 1928. Prominent among the causes of need listed in the municipal report is that of unemployment. In Kansas City last week the Ford assembling plant went on a new schedule providing for an eight hour day and a five day work. The purpose is solely to provide jobs for unemployed. In effect, it is a forced contribution of nearly four days wages every month from the laborers
already working at the plant. Yet, similar measures are being advocated in the coal fields and other centers of unemployment.
The economist terms much of this unarmed labor "marginal" or "sub-marginal." The national loss from this source annually reaches billions. Society has assumed the responsibility for all men in the country and right so. But since the able workers are compelled to help support the weaker and since America has too much labor already, is it not the business of every self-supporting American to have something to say about the nation's birth rate? The situation demands action, not in the dim future, but immediately.
CRUISER BILL
The cruiser bill with the time clause included has passed the Senate and it only remains for the House to accept the few minor revisions made by the Senate. President Coolidge has indicated that he will not sign the bill unless the time clause is stricken out, but it is likely that the matter will be settled without serious difficulty.
The main problem to consider, however, concern the significance of the measure itself, as a matter of government policy. The time clause makes a plan of the cruiser bill without which it would have been little more than a strong promise. It provides for a definite building program, which will be carried out as tinted by its terms.
It shows that Uncle Sam is out to protect his citizens and not prioritely to set up barriers for diplomatic maneuvering.
The Genese conference will be held in 1931, and with the passing of this bill the United States will have placed itself in much the same position it held during the Washington Conference. With the prospect of building a number of new cruisers, the bargaining power of the United States will be considerably increased. Our statement can bargain to stop building the new cruisers, if they in return can peramade some foreign power to agree to disarm part of their fleet.
It seems that $274,000,000 is a great deal to spend in building sixteen ships, but Uncle Sam has seemingly unlimited resources from which to draw, and it is unlikely that the construction of the vessels will secondary repair the national budget.
"Senatorial Courtesy" is usually synonym for discourtesy.
After all it is better to have spun
n your feet than with your best
clenl.

Of course, another investigation is these days when investigations are required in a delay getting directly at the point—is not at all surprising; even than rocks, domesticated and otherwise, are to be investigated. . . . Rocks seem to have been placed in the stone since the latter has taken on the nomenclature of diamond, ruby, sapphire or ceramel, and move resplendently in the very best of soils.
A rock is supposed to stay "pun," but the question is, does it? Every farmer knows it ambiguates to one company and the other that they are then a perfectly smooth mowing may under some circumstances produce a rock in the garden planted, cultivated or wanted. Why this is so inquisitive Minnesota is going to find out. They have had no success with a pipe stack on the top of each one.

American Astronomers Are on Way to Malaysia to Observe May 9 Eclipse
Washington, Feb. 7- Two groups of American astronomers are not on their way to Malaysia to observe the eclipse of May 9. Crossing at Atlantic ocean, on route to Nantes, on the first lap of their journey, are D.J. John A. Miller and Mrs. Miller, from the Sproust Observatory of Swarovski more college, and Dr. Ueber C. Durtis, of the Allegheny Observatory of the University of Pittsburgh. They will sail from Genoa Feb. 8 on a date steamer, the P.C. Hoft, for Sormatam. Arriving at Belgrade on Feb. 2, they will sail to Antalya, where they proceed in motor truck to Tekhengan, about 260 miles in the mountains. There they will set up their large telescopes and other equipment for the observations of the brief moments of the eclipse.
The other party is now snailing westward across the Pacific on the naval transport Chamnort. This is the expedition from the Naval Observatory here, under the administrative charge of Commander G. H. J. Keppler, commander of the U.S. Air Force's scientific leader of the party. With him is Mr. Cogbell, also an experienced eclipse observer, and Paul Sollenberger, astronomer of the Naval Observatory, Lieut. K. G. Kelleras, of the Navy Medical Corps, with the party in the dual capacity of staff physician and also as a representative of the US military forces, he will collect specimens of the flora and fauna of the countries visited.

As Others See It
This question of the pronunciation employed by our radio announcer appears to be more complicated than he may have been announced. The opener opens with a operative troop gave conscrima from Stradella and when the announcement or stepped forward to do his bit, instead he is introduced as an officer poised as an officer American would pronounce it—to rhyme with *Arrabella*. It is he inrune in the Italian fashion with the I longhour into her heart, before he had occasion to refer to the ensemble, instead of pronouncing it as an accent American would pronounce it in the French fashion, in two syllables, with the final e silent. But was this concession to the audience that he was on the contrary exceedingly painful. One listener on hearing that eliminated Stradella-Iyelsoe "Not dog" and began to fan him like a cat was told he tailed counsel "shaped himself on the wrist and announced that he did not want to play any more."

Discussion, of possible farms of farm relief brings to light considerable information touching the real needs of farmers. Such suggestion is that they need some of the integrates, the market methods, the chili policies and mass produce programs that will do their plowing, their planting, their harvesting and their marketing under the community plan, with the assistance of farmers who will show larger prices and have much spare space for themselves. The and fact is that there are many farms that are well-meaning Americans who are anchored to the soil by circumstances not of their own choosing and who understand the possibilities of the land they till. The life of the farmer is and should be an independent one, but those are hard to find. They are inadequate to lift themselves out of the rut.

Thus the announcer, with regard to his pronunciation, seems to be in a good mood and doesn't damned if he does and damned if he don't. And narcissus, on the whiche, it would be best if he resigned first for his aesthetic. For that reference to the Venetian moon gives the clue to what he is telling us about the no-bush-habbling about the Venetian moon, and the sooner it is allowed to coil itself the easier it sounds.

Manila Observatory to Aid
The Naval Observatory party will set up its instruments at Lidney, on the island of Pamay, with the cooperation of the Manila Observatory. Admiral Dibdeli, companion-in-field of the Admiralty fleet, will furnish the cooperation necessary for the precise positioning picture cannon and the necessary mechanics and hallows.
This year's eclipse which takes place during the afternoon of May 18, is of exceptional importance on account of the recent increase in the number of totality living over five minutes. Although widely habitable to the United States, in fact the area has been gradually moving northward on 8th of May, the eclipse stretches from a haunt of darkness over widely dominated land areas from the northwest to the east and south; the Montana state of Kidskill across south and southern Cambodia, and finally over the middle group of islands of North America, including the north and Mississippi to the south, indicating the important cities of Hilo, the second in size in the Philippines, and Miami in its proximity to world events.
Many Expeditions Planned
"The Observatory's expedition," said Capt. C. R. Presley, interim astronomer with the University of North Carolina, added to special observations on its own next, in duplicating certain features of the program occupied by the observatory. The university is Swarthmore College, which will go to Somers. An interesting comparison of data is in progress; if both sides agree, Swarthmore will weather. Several other excavations have been made at the site, and exceptional exceptions. British expeditions from Crewswick and Cambridge are in progress. Four German expeditions are named, one from Romania, two from Germany, and two from Iceland. There then are Dutch, French, and Italian expeditions in preparation, and possibly one from Scotland.

ENGLISH—NOT SLANG
Every day we hear comment on the English used by college students, or rather the field of English. College students are criticized because they have a few words which they have a few words which are worked to death. For instance, a man was overheard to say the other way that he didn't believe a college girl had been anything under his control without giving it away "perfectly obsolete."
The same man was also discussin- g the monogamous phrases which are presided on the college campuses, and the other in such phrases as "he sure went to" and "lost him" and "we does that he really perfect English and we can be found in the present day and his criticism of the collegiate college is cer-
It does seem that there is too much or that manufactured English being used by the students of American colleges and languages gets pop and forces to the language and that without them the language would be without force. For example, in 1946, language was without force for a long time and the American college student is to be congratulated for letting up on the language however, with all other students of English going along, the English language could go along without so much of it.
