THE WEEK
The army endurance flight plane "Question Mark" imbued Jan. 7, after having stayed in the air one hundred fifty hours, forty minutes and fifteen seconds, breaking several previous air records. The United States commenced the withdrawal of her troops from Nicaragua while France considered a plan of taxing automobiles according to the use they make of the roads, using the fund to build highways. The corner stone of the new Tammy Hall was laid by Tammy leaders while the first High Council meeting in the history of the Salvation Army, opened amid secret to decide the future leadership and control of the organization. Tex Rickard, the world's greatest sport promoter died at Miami, after a brief illness. Physicians and health officers gathered at Washington to deviate methods of controlling influenza while Persia instigated the use of the individual spoon for the members of families, the old rule being one spoon to a family. President-elect Hoover announced his intentions of enforcing the prohibition law vigorously and national leaders gave evidence of fearing a long battle over the reapposition of the house seats. Dickens' "Pickwick Papers," sold in 1920 to three thousand five hundred collars, resold this week for twenty-eight thousand dollars, setting a new high mark for single book sales.
PIERRE AND SAMMY
Pierre was a quarrelsome little boy who lived somewhere in Sammy's neighborhood. There came a day when Sammy somehow got into a big scrap in which Pierre, Johnny and Tony were throwing rocks at Fritz, Josef and others of the neighborhood gang. In due time the scrap ended and everyone was still mad.
"Sam," said Pierre one day, "this gang of fools has always thought it had a perfect right to throw rocks to settle an argument. You and I have more sense. Let's agree never to use rocks as a method of deciding disputes between the two of us. . . Just you and me in the interests of peace."
And Sam pondered nowly, for to enter the agreement with Pierre would make the gang think he had formed a friendly alliance with Pierre. And Pierre would be a poor ally. But not to agree would be to say he rocked-fossitough although he had always opposed it. And then he saw a solution.
“Pierre,” said he, “that’s a wonderful idea. We simply agree that rock tossing isn’t nice and ought not to be done. We’ll make it an illegal method of settling arguments. It’s such a good idea we’ll pass it around—invite everyone to shake hands on it.”
And so we have the Kellogg Peace Pact, which is harmless and ought to be passed because it doesn't cost much to shake hands.
RELIGIOUS IDEALISM
The recent dedication of the Chicago University chapel given Chicago University by John D. Rockefeller, marks a new religious trend. Besides the beautiful new structure, Mr. Rockefeller makes an additional gift of a million dollar trust fund to be
we promote the integration of the students . . . through the broadcast and most liberal development of the spiritual forces centering in and radiating from this chapel."
In accepting the position of Dean of the University Chapel, Charles Whitney Gilley, former pastor of the Hyde Park Baptist church, who is also to be on the K. U. campus for Religious Week early next semester, made the following statement: "We must build our new program for this chapel upon all that we well attested in the religious experience that we have inherited; and yet we must be ready to adventure forth upon new and creative experiments sin the reshaping of religious thought and opportunities of modern university life. Was there ever such a chance and such a challenge for religious leadership? . . . We must make it the home of a fellowship of aspiration and conservation in which students and faculty alike shall share."
This is a quite different conception of religious idealism than is usually expressed by donors of large funds to colleges over the country. Generally the gift is given with definite limitations and numerous "Thou Shall Not" which cause heart-breaking commissions. The new fund creates the possibility of adventuring orth in search of religious truths.
PRINTING NEEDS
At this time when the state legislature must again make appropriations for the support of state educational institutions, an item of especial concern to the University should receive careful consideration. The printing appreciation for past years has been inadequate to meet the needs of a growing institution. As a result the Science Bulletin and other scholarly publications, which add greatly to the sum of human knowledge, are limited to one or two issues a year. Many needed books at the library are not available for use because the binding and rehinking fund is inadequate.
The appropriation allowed the state printer may seem large in itself, but it is insufficient when divided among the state offices and state institutions. The state printer has shown his willingness to help U. by increasing our appropriation last year, but under present conditions he cannot possibly provide the needed funds. According to a member of the University senate printing committee an additional $10,000 to $15,000 is needed to relieve the situation here. The only remedy is through a larger appropriation for the state printing plant.
Life, the philosophy major tells us, is a stick of dynamite and human beings the sparks of fire that should set it off. Too often the flame flickers and dies, or the dynamite is wet.
Today's Best Editorial
THE NICARAGUA CANAL
Gen. Joe Maria Monceda, new President of Nicaragua, repeated in his burgundy address a favorable attitude toward the building of a museum and an initiative to hitherto expressed. His pronouncement will give pain to the American parlor-pinks who have been giving up their time, without occasion, but it will accord with the sober common sense of Central America. The canal, of which there is no doubt, was the United States or not built at all, at least if this generation is to see it. Gen. Monceda is plainly in favor of the United States and control by the United States.
The building of an alternative route to the Panama Canal is dictated by necessity. In a few years, this road will be traffic, the capacity of that ditch will be reached, and its enlargement without interruption of traffic presents great engineering difficulties. Because of the nature of the possibility of being blocked by seismic disturbances or earth slides, it is not wise to have all the eggs in one basket, especially such important communication between the two oceans.
—Los Angles Times
Since it will take some years to resolve all the diplomatic, engineering and construction problems of the Ni-caraguan Canal—other central Americas waterways—the interests in parts of the route—the incoming administration at Washington probably will take up the matter in earnest, and it is pleasing to know there will be no opposition from Ni-Caraguan, rather a spirit of joint co-operation.
New York, Jan. 12. — Television is not a vague and remote project, but while still experimental in an unintended and punishable probability. Indeed, a fair parallel is to compare television in its present state of development with ordinary broadcasting in its condition in 1921, "is the opinion of Dr. Alfred N. Goldsmith, chief broadcast engineer of the Radio Corporation of America, expressed here today to Science Service. For a considerable time he engineers of the Radio Corporation have been making confidential experiments with television, looking forward to the time when it will be as easy to record experiments have been made by doctor Goldsmith's direction. So far has this development gone that it will be ready for the public within a few years.

"When one considers the number of important forms of television programs broadcast in letters and bookstores is a compelled to curb one's imagination," he declared. "Everything that the real comedy has to offer, that the debating stage can provide, that the concert stage can furnish, that the theater stage can be used for entertainment, can be brought into the home with synthesized sound as a complete source of thoroughly satisfying entertainment," he added. "The theatre, instruction and education."
That the government should be especially careful of its regulations of broadcast is the belief of Doctor Caldwell.
Two stories about the same thing which by accident get into the paper the same day at least give readers opportunity to compare the work of two different authors and facts. Insider takes that much conculation after finding two stories of the Latin department's proposed pre-proposal in "Thursday night's Kansas."
The real low down on the subject is this: The reporter who wrote the story the day before made a most elegant flop. In an effort to require empathy, the reporter wrote new stories. Then a moment of absent mindness somewhere along the line someone let both stories get into typed and another one become news papers. Newspapers are sometimes criticized because so many different persons handle every story. But safety in that, for it is often in excepteur than in general, because that more than one person becomes forgetful at the same time.

ELIHU ROOT AND THE WORLD COURT
Campus Opinion
Elliott Ruo, often referred to as "the father of the World Court," has accepted membership on a special committee of jurists to revise the Court statute. As one who had much experience with the former American Secretary of State is the chief nominee to cooperate in the proposed revision.
The purpose of changing the present statute is twofold. A decade of experience has shown veinless weakening in patients and operations of the Court which can be incurred by simple statutory therea. There is also a link of clarity with reference to the authority of the Court, by making the Court "or advisory opinions."
This last point is of major importance in connection with American entry into the Court. Because the Senate reestablishes providing for American membership vehicles to advisory opinions and other matters, we court the Court from rendering an advisory opinion in any case in which we have or claim to have an interest
The members of the Court refused to accept American membership unanimously, but the Court said it was impossible to grant such a veto to the United States unless it was clear that any other member of the Court might refuse. Yet it had never been decided whether a majority vote of the Council might not suffice to ask the World Court to intervene.

Allow me to take this opportunity of telling the cocky-eyed world about my experience in being a veterinary. I don't mean to be a perpetual gripe, but something must be done. I had to believe I had at last caught the "fli," I lost no time in seeking medical advice and having something in return for the six dollars I had invested on behalf of my health—good or bad. Boldly marking the difference, I was surprised at the coldness of the reception. I imagine it was about three minutes in the veterinary room. Being masculine, I ban-

"Radio television is at a stage when it is prepared to leave the seabed and into the daily affairs and uses of man," he said. "Intensive development work of an experimental nature can be made with the mission of television material is at hand through confidential experiments in New York, nearby, Pittsburgh and New York."
As Doctor Goldsmith foreshews it three types of service will be rendered by the use of radiation which will require its own band of wavelengths. One is the urban service that will be rendered to "builders" in order to carry out construction in large cities. Here the problem of absorption by buildings of radio waves carrying the images must be addressed.
The second class of television service is that for sabaran and rural lodgers-in-land. These people, he said, live in large groups with people outside their normal range of travel. As these areas are much larger, and cover a different sort of terrain, more hand of wave transmission is their most effective use, he believes.
"A certain band of wavelengths or frequencies is believed to be suitable for the experiment, and not will be first experimentally tested for the purpose and later utilised."
Finally there is international television. As this will have to be for great distances, frequently across great distances, a group of wavelengths will be needed.
The possibilities of television broadcasting are almost without limit.
"The wise policy of the Government which encouraged the development of broadcasting in 1921, if similarly applied to television at the present time, would have been a much greater growth of art and a service to the public," he said.
Doctor Goldsmith believes that the government should confine its telecommunications organization, such as the Radio Corporation of America, for he said, "only such organizations would be able to provide high goals of service 'Television', so-called, from irresponsible sources, will benefit only the ocuphats of the United States in prosecutions of the public lookers-in"

TREAT THEM LIKE MEN
Recently there was published in leading magazine the following, under the name of H. W. Whicker, erst while world war veteran, professional educator and public servant, in June, to be the recipient of two academic degrees: "I am of the mind that the worst sin committed by men is when he acts in his policy of treating him (the student) as a man ten years before he is a man. Nature must so hardy her heart, that it is able to body to its perfection and prime that she can permit him no chance to be a man until this is been accomplished." This exemplar of an action before this time, is his life.
This exemplar of a long story conveys the very essence of most of the "intellectual" animadversion that is offered by the schools' shoulders of our universities. But where and in the world does the modern college treat an undergraduate? What kind of performance such a function by shaping him in the face with a batch of required courses, half the contents of which remain only if the student is deemed worthy to become adolescent be termed a man because everybody on every side is attempting to learn.
The trouble with college administration is that instead of giving the student too much latitude, it is too rugged in the distribution of jobs. It has been apparent that the mass production graduates of the present day are only Babbitts, one step higher; universities could possibly do more for the students by giving more freedom to the undergraduates, and taking the chance of uncovering the handful of superior sagacity and ability—the kind that is anothereduction—of the graduate. —babbitht full of quasidiversity who would reach such a classification by being presented with more diversified outfits for their mental power—offered the opportunity to be benefitted who now are pushed through the mill process of standardization, o emerge still somewhat bewildered and counting of their unmarried and

THE PRICE OF TEXT BOOKS
An education becomes more democratic and the number of students is increased to include the power classes, it is obvious that the price of education in all its assets must be reduced. This is easily accomplished this end by reducing or removing tuition fees. But at the beginning of each school term there is an item of expense which is the cost of books. We use book holes—namely, textbooks.
Various commercial organizations in Europe, and recently in some parts of America, have recognized the fact that students have built a fund of asset, and accordingly have made financial expenses of students lower than those of the ordinary layman. Students are now being reduced rates for student commuters, and on our own campus there are university-sponsored lunch rooms which give lunch at cost for poorer students.
However, in the line of text-books the student-publisher relations are entirely commercial, and books which are published by a dollar are sold for as much as five. Students would not complain if the profit from texts went to enhance students' reading skills and write them; but we understand that authors receive but a small per cent of the total spent for the book. The profit amounts go to the publishers and the publisher retains the money.
There is a bigly commendable movement on this campus to run a non-profit book store for students. But even if each such a plan were realised, it would not be readily solved. It is very doubtful if present publishers could be made to see the matter in this light, since they do not consider themselves charitable organisations. This situation lies in the University Presses which are gradually assuming respectable propositions. If they can realize the value of the non-profit service, perhaps one of the most considerable students' gadget can be reduced.

LAST MINUTE WORK
By recent action of the Graduate faculty, any senior who is enrolled for sufficient work to satisfy the requirements for his bachelor's degree may complete his program up to a maximum of sixteen hours with credit in the following courses: (1) Principles of computer science for graduate work must be the Dean of the Graduate School.
Without double the next three weeks will see more actual work accomplished by university students than at any other time during the semester. It is also a safe estimate to make that a large number of courses will be passed by diligent students using the "twilight" of the semester.
The urge to be made however, is that all students make proper use of the last weeks of the term. Which is why I tend to up this time but there is yet time to do much before the final curtain is rung down at final examination
The university registry office hold of an account the two six-week grade reports which have been made by instructors. They are not even received by the registrar. What the registry office and the university officials in general, are interested in is the final grade which is turned in by the instructor for the student. This alone is recorded; this record marks of success or failure in a course.
Let it be said here, however, that "making a good impression" during the closing weeks of the semester is an extremely difficult matter. It is not only difficult, but it is also foolhardy as well. Any professor will admire plack and to assimilate the content of a course in three
