WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16. 1929
Gesees, those web-footed contemporaries of the duck and swan, have hererofe led rather aimless lives. They have ambled around in a stately, stiff-legged fashion, bobbed here and there after great gulps of water and grass, honked wildly in stentorian fashion and occasionally halted their measured tread to cock a wavy, goose-bone eye skyward in an apparent attempt to predict the weather. All that has been expected of them was to produce a bag of down feathers and a pair of juicy drummasticks in time for the Christmas dinner.
But their days of leisure are over,
since it has been decided that they are
to labor in the strawberry
patches. They will not be expected
to wield奸s, but merely to use their
large slick, yellow bills to gobble up
the grass which seems to take special
delight in strangling strawberry
plant. According to Prof. George M.
Darrow, strawberry specialist of the
United States department of agriculture,
the geese will leave the plants
and berries untouched, and will devour
the grass.
Strawberry growers should welcome this type of labor since tending strawberries has long been a back-breaking sun strowing task, and if the solemnized geese are content to eat grass and leave the plants and berries untouched, why not let them do so?
DO YOUR CRAMMING EARLY
Just a soliciteous suggestion to those apprehensive about the approach of the term finals—it is trite but true that one should not put off everything until the last hurried moments. From now until the final judgments, the grind will be increased perceptibly. The longer the delay the harder it will be to find free time in which to make up overdue lessons and outside readings. In many courses the final quizzes are not nearly so important as the "daily class work, so that the matter of checking up on missed assignments becomes of primary importance.
Professors are prone to warn students continually about keeping their work up to schedule. That is very well; but a number of those same pedagogues do not follow their own precepts. They drift through the earlier parts of their courses, and are forced to pile on work towards the end so that they may complete the plans they have outlined. This year it is especially imperative to begin cramming early, since the lengthened Christmas vacation has shifted an extra load to the last month of the semester.
With this added incentive in mind, renewed vigor is necessary. Read those abandoned texts, write those late reports, type those notesbooks, and bid the sandman farewell. Here's to fewer failures and greater dividends on credit hours.
POLICE EFFICIENCY
The Kansas City, Kannas, police force congratulates itself on having made 4,000 arrests last year and emphasizes the fact that it has been very busy. The statistics point to a police system of high efficiency. This efficiency directed in the right manner?
It is hard to tune a tiger by twisting its tail or eliminate crime by barking at its beech. It is common knowledge that there is an active underworld in Kansas City. Have these arrests struck at the heart of the crime world or have they merely chipped off the edges? The purpose of law enforcement is to eliminate law breaking and reduce crime to a minimum. So next year when the police back look over the record to find a reason for putting them selves on the back they should not whether the ring of crime has been broken. If so they should adopt a conservative policy and reduce the number of arrests.
FINISH THE JOB
No doubt the dance in the Union building was very satisfactory; however, it was not the舞 floor that made it so. There are many large barns in the country which would present as line an appearance as this unfinished structure. Its appearance is a challenge to complete the second floor interior, to make it presentable, and by its attractiveness to bring back the popularity of the variety.
Students who have contributed to the support of the Union, no matter how small an amount, take pride in the building that they helped to erect. These who for the first time viewed the lower floor interior were agreeably surprised with its comfortable and charming appearance. Because the building is easily accessible, it is a much more convenient place for dances than any down town hall. Yet the fact remains that the Union is unfinished. That harmlike effect is a fit cause for nightmares. It is depressing and discouraging to think that the student body allows this place to go unfinished. The floor is in good shape, there is plenty of room for a large crowd, and there are plenty of comfortable seats. An uncompleted Union building would be a monument to student indifference. Finish the Union building now.
The nations of Europe and the United States are facing one of the greatest economic problems that they ever known. The time has come o decide on the final settlement of Germany's war debt, how much she hall pay and by what method.
WAR DEBT
Germany started the drive demanding final settlement and that the members of the commission be financial experts of international caliber. S. Parker Gilbert, agent general of reparations, in his annual report says that Germany is economically sound and is quite capable of paying the full amount of its allotment under the Dawes plan. Now Germans in general complain that Gilbert saw their affairs through rose colored glasses, Gilbert's report is especially interesting in view of the committee of experts assembling to reconsider the whole reparations problem.
This committee must first figure out how much Germany can pay and how long or how short the time of payment can be. This year under the Dukes plan she reaches the maximum annual payment of 2,500,000 gold marks, and protests that the load is too heavy. In the second place the committee must figure out ways and means of turning Germany's credit into negotiable securities. The selling of her railroad bonds presents the most feasible aspect at present, and the United States would undoubtedly be the most likely market. But if the United States took bonds to a greater extent than Germany is able to pay, it would be Uncle Sam who would be holding the bag.
At all events it will be interesting to see how the experts work out the problem.

Chicago Plans to Build Compensating Works to Restore Great Lakes' I
Washington, Jan. 15—Offers of the city of Chicago to build compensating works to restore the levels of the Great Lakes system, affected by the withdrawal from Lake Michigan of $600 cubic feet per second, are perfectly feasible according to the report of Special Master Hauges, who was appointed by the U. S. Supreme Court to take the testimony, and whose report is now expected to be unheld by the court in a decision almost any day.
Hughes has recommended that the suits of six northern states asking for injunctions against Chicago for this withdrawal, he dismissed, Chicago is taking 2500 cubic feet per second, on permit from the secretary of war. Hughes says that a review of legal aspects of the case convince him that a war department permit authorizing the diversion is a legal exercise of power delegated by congress.
*Chicago* plans for compensating works have been the subject of study by a special board of engineers and by the board of engineers for rivers and

TAKING LIFE SERIOUSLY
Just how seriously life should be taken always has been a much-discussed problem, with favorable arguments given for both sides of the debate. But in our case, we will tell us that we should assume a more serious attitude toward our studies, which may or may not mean that they also would like for us to take everything else in our lives with advantage and advocate that we should be less serious in our attitude towards life, and get all of the joy out of living that is possible to get. Just when side B the better argument we leave to you.
Katharine Bush, short story writer, in the January issue of College Humor, however, gives some interesting comments on why people should be told that little details matter in part. I cannot believe that the little affairs of little people matter much or that one needs to fret or swear about them. I cannot be persuaded that duty is more important than making people who take life too seriously is that they take details too seriously. They seem to lack the ability to distinguish between what is inaccurate and what is correct; they miss most of the beauty of life.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
"People who take life seriously work harder and longer than those who do not, but I wonder if they are better prepared to likely be plodders; whereas most of the really spectacular work of the world is done in sports, by temperaments rather than skill."
"To live the moment joyfully—surreally this in wisdom. To feel that the world is grand and glamorous now and again in it a thrill to be thankful for."
"People who take life seriously be live in retiring early and rising early The first is not so bad if it if it follows the pattern of being more exciting possible. Most of the really exciting people I have ever known I have known after ten o'clock in the evening. And most of the really dreadful people may seem I've seen by artificial light.
It is our belief that there are certain things in which seriousness is an essential element. We should take these things into account, and should we be just as serious in desiring winning athletic teams. We should be serious, also, in progress; we should not be seriously in this state and of this motion. But we should not let the serious side of ouratures (and all will agree that everyone is serious at time) hamper our chances to win games, which we afford. A "fifty-fifty" balance between the two, no doubt, would prove to be a very happy medium, so we should "Indiana Student."

Wing walls or other methods of narrowing the channels at the head of each of the St. Lawrence Rapids, Lake Ontario, and the rapids at Niagara Falls, and a series of such weirs near the head of the Niagara river and in the upper reaches of Lake Huron to be part of these plans. To effect the required deepening in Lake St. Clair and at the head of the Detroit river, water would be meet satisfactory.
Five Weirs to Be Built
The board of engineers for rivers and harbors in the war department has moved to its head as the head of the Nigerian branch of Sugwu Island, would cost about $23,000,000 and would raise Lake Chad from its current 9.55 ft, 9.55 ft, and Lakes Huron and Michigan 0.15 ft, leaving 9.28 ft to be compensated by dredging in the area.
The second set of about 11 weirs,
spread about one-third mile apart in
the southern part of the state,
cost about $8,500,000 and
would raise Lakes Huron and Meble-
mont.
"This tiny bighorn Pine thicket, the valley beyond Lake Jakes and the connecting rivers between them would, at a total cost of about $390,000, he not only fully restored, but provision made for the lowering that would be caused by some additional diversion, the migration on Lake Jakes and the lowering in Lake Huron and Michigan 9.29 feet.
The army engineers conclude:
"These submerged weirs would leave the natural oscillation of Lakes Erie and Huron undisturbed. They would not affect the stability of the St. Clar and Niagara rivers to what it was before any diversions or other artificial changes were made and permit the lakes to fluctuate between their natural states without farply natural causes, such as changes in precipitation, evaporation, etc. To design the weirs correctly, proper model experiments would be required, and also prolong gauge observation.

One of Chicago's arguments in defending the diversion is that the preserve is undergoing an upgrade to carry away the sewage. Hughes has supported this contention with the statement that a "pestle-tapping" diversion at the diversion were to be cut down.

To be sure, this is a qualification, but above the qualification of book learning, an individual with brains, but lacking leadership, will go just as far as a leader wishes to push him and no further. Brains alone, can climb up the ladder, but completely submerging the individual to whom they belong. Brains plus ambition equals a leader.
