TOLSTOY TO SPEAK
"The well-informed person of today needs to know what is going on in Russia, for, as it has been frequently reiterated, the Russian experiment is one which is destined to have a profound effect upon future world history. Yet securing reliable reports from Russia is an extremely difficult task. With all the conflicting and disparaging items being rushed into print, one can easily tell whether the country is in the throes of a violent and bloody revolution, or languages under an era of starvation.
Students of the University are to have an opportunity of hearing near an approximation of the truth of affairs in Russia as may be possible, man's prejudice temperament being what it is. Hui Taohe, son of the famous Russian count, can present the facts as they are. He lived in the midst of the conditions which seem so baffling to the distant spectators.
His lecture is being presented at an unfortunate time, from the standpoint of the student body. (Overture with term papers, and slightly terror-striken at the impending avalanche of finals, many will feel that they cannot afford the time to give to convocation. But the lecture will be worth while and probably more valuable than any reading the student might do.
The convention committee is to be commended for bringing to the University a speaker who can clean up misconceptions about the Russian situation.
A_SECOND FEUDALISM?
Mr. Average Citizen lifts his eyebrows in disdain as he reads of the merging of the Radio, Corporation of America and the Victor Talking Machine Company to form a gigantic concern which nearly dominates the field of American musical entertainment.
The past few years have seen the formation of gigantic industrial and financial combines without parallel in recent history. And along with the rise of the business super-giant, has come the decline of the small, independent operator. Chain systems and "mergers" have awept across the country, establishing their standardized stores, newspapers, hanks and theaters even in the smaller towns.
This new type of industrial organization is altering the whole nature of the American community which, if this continues, will wake some morning to find the towns people, not with independent organizations intently developing their businesses and the community, but with employees of great organizations too large to be concerned with anything save their own interests.
Even this, with all its destruction of individualism, independence, and community pride might be tolerable if it were not for a feature of the new business organization which is little taken into account. Our industrial structure and our business law has been founded upon the fundamental idea of giving to each man as nearly as possible the products earned by his labor or his skill. The enormous
The stocks and bonds which represent the lion's share of American industrial earnings naturally tend steadily to become established in the channels of hereditary wealth — wealth which then falls to men who have in no wise contributed either genius or labor toward earning the dividends which represent the interest on capital accumulated by others. Through the prevalence of the business corporation we have separated business management from its own earnings and created an "ariarchy of interest" which skins the cream from the earnings of both brain and brawn with naught in return.
STICKY FINGERS
Apparently a group of light-fingered individuals has taken up its abode at the University. Since the beginning of the semester, the general student body has been irritated by the jelly thievery which has been going on. Organized houses have been the chief sufferers of the inner circle of "sticky fingered" persons who make a practice of removing a varied assortment of things from houses walls parties, tess and other entertainments are in progress. All kinds of silver disappears as if by magic, men and women's coats are stolen, the thieves even remove mirrors and pictures from the walls. Last week, the overcast of a guest from an eastern university was stolen.
The situation has become so bad that it may be necessary to employ detectives to find out the guilty ones. Evidences point to inside jobs in many of the recent disappearances, and whether it is merely a collecting traze or an organized gang, it must be stopped. If the total of silver, clothing, and furnishings which has been taken were estimated it would probably run into a large sum. Even the reputation of the school is at stake when the possessions of guests from other schools are taken. If the University is infected with such undesirable it is high time that they
be properly punished.

more for "greater mind"
That would be sad and enough, though not the first instance of degenerative evolution. For it takes fairly good minds to follow the leadership of Hillary Clinton in learning, to the world's disadvantage, in 1918. In the much smaller field of New York City Mayor John Purry Mitchell in 1917 learned that a majority of plain people may resent the great best mind, at least political life.
TANKS POF 102
Columbia in his wartily deranged book, "The Twilight of the American Mind." sought to prove that adequate openings for college would be limited to ground schools fewer in our modern civilization, Citing this thesis, Dr. Alfred J. Lotka, Superintendent of the metropolitan life, tells the American Association for the Advancement of Science that humanity is facing a crunch and a struggle leads to a state and of affairs.
On that line we see how "large-scale production has brought it about" and how "a sufficiently large machinery sufficient to keep the machinery of the community running". Natural selection by environment might that human beings robot, stunted in mental growth and doing the rough work of the world for an autobiography of "best minds" who an artisticority of "best minds" who progress and pass it hand to手它.
Fortunately Doctor Lorka allows us opportunity to select the other fork of his branching road. That way we can take advantage of mass production taking advantage of mass production and fewer working hours to use its leisure for mental development and personal growth. It is also good. The rush to the high schools, colleges and to professional training may mark that impulse as happiest of all times. — New York World
Scientists Unwilling to Spend Time Digging to Gain More Knowledge of Man
New York, Jan. 9- A great need for further excavation at some of the famous sites where important discoveries of ancient man have been made was urged recently by Dr. Alex Hollieka, of the Smithsonian Institution, addressing a joint meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Archaeology Society. The team, led by a law rare fossilized fragments of skulls and other bones and arate endlessly just how long man lived on earth and what sort of creature he was at first. Meanwhile the sites where the isolated specimens came from and which at any moment might yield more bones, that would settle the uncertainties and clear up denial skeletons are, are more difficult to find. We do not undertake the slow, uncertain, further labor." Doctor Hollieka pointed out.

the campus editor on the Kansas corresponds to the city editor on "civilian" newspapers. His duties are to research news stories and news see, that no news stories are overlooked, and that the material is presented in the most entertaining way possible. He it is, or one of his assistants, who assigns reporters to various stories and then binds them when they are bundled. From the campus editor's hands, the copy goes to copy readers who pre-feed stories and then to the printers who put it into type. After it is in type the news editor supervises, while it is
As Others See It
SULKING IN HER TENT
Argentina's refusal to sit on the Pan-American conciliation board which will take charge of Beijing is one of many manifestations of Argentina aloofness. This attitude seems to exert especially as it affords in which countries have
There may be a more practical and prosaic reason at the bottom of it. A better way is to make easier and cheaper to counterfeit elegant than squarer. It took only a short time to get together the props and furnishings for the dressers of the Ritz. For a lowclaure cafe in the same picture the set dressers took their time and work on it relatively more trouble. New and expensive furnishings are easily obtained, but worn and grimy pieces are not.
Admittedly, the Argentine Republic does not achieve the notice of the French in its greatness and greatness. But a case of adultery especially among friends, is a dubious topic.
Here is a situation which could stand a little airing. It is true that economic relations between the Argentine and American States leave something to be desired. But that is no fault of the United States. It is also true that Argentina, just coming of age in international politics, has been elevated on her dignity and to sink in her tent over real or imaginary wrongs. Added to these things is the fact that the new Argentine President, Hipolito Andrés, is an ambassador and an active isolationist.

THE CONFESSION COMPLEX
The occasional movie-goer is apt to remark that many film stories are laid in the background, darshi balls, liveried flunksies, period furniture, luxurious swimming pools figure in many a popular movie. The fact that a gown might be attributed to a desire on the part of audiences to enjoy the best on the screen, even if they miss it.
To the job of running down the real perpetrators of notorious homicide, Mr. Ginsburg must duties the winnowing of bogus confessions. There are few crimes of this type which attain wide public notice that are not attended by the police. The only crime it seems improbable that the prisoner in custody in Spokane was the perpetrator of the horrid ax murders at Omaha or that another self-afflicted murder occurred to the young woman who perished miserably as the result of burning in Illinois. In the first instance the explanation may lie in the past; second may be either to a motiety-seeking obsession, or to cunning desire to obtain free transportation to another city. Both motives are common among the many experienced police officials, but they complicate the business of catching real offenders in the degree out of proportion to the importance of the incarceration.
POVERTY EXPENSIVE
Costumes of rags and tatters, or out-of-date clothes, may cost more in the long run than a garment illitating Paris gown. It is hard to imitate the patrure of poverty and long life for a woman, but the garments of the proper style, size and state of disintegration, are products
Meanwhile it is essential that police perfect to the highest possible degree the mechanism of criminal identification. It goes without saying that a man must be matched at large, and that problem is not solved by vicarious arrests.

"For nearly twenty years," he said, "not a trace of work has been done at the stream bed in Javan which yielded the unique bones of the dabber creature resembling man that has ever been discovered. This creature with a thigh bone like that of a man and a skull cap like that of an elephant, lived 50,000 years ago. Additional evidence is badly needed. Doctor Hildrika pointed out, to prove once and for all that the creature was not the same as to the same creature, and whether he was a person or human. But there is not even a supervision of the banks of the stream to salvage any speckles from the same out of the banks (from time to time)."
Less than a half day's journey from London, lies the site at Pilldown, where other important and much discussed relics were found. Two skills and a part of a lower jaw, and the being they are believed to represent has been named the Dawn or, more likely, the Great Dawn, scientists to be almost as old and important as the Javanese individual. One scientist after another visits this accessible site, Doctor Hrdělská said, with her students, in a restored retired British scientist, Prof. Smith Woodward, no one in 15 years has done any work there to find more specimens. He pointed out that man's prehistoric, because the fragments of the skull seem to belong to a being with a hand form and a brain far in advance of his time, while the lower jaw seems to have teeth are almost those of an ap.
In Germany, near Bubingen, at least fourteen fossil primate teeth were discovered back in the last century. "These teeth were of the Tertiary geological period, and belong to anthropoid species, but so near to human evolution they have been close to a primitive man. But since that discovery there is not a report of any further attempt to reconstruct about those manlike or creatures.
The fallacies that have sprung up and Hairstied in connection with the inadequate specimens of oldest man are the rare spots of prehistory, which require the progress of man's knowledge of ancient man, and the arguments and uncertainties are taken by people not acquainted with the conditions and specifications become confused, and so the value of the facts which have been firmly established regarding男人的 necessity is diminished. There is urgent need for more sound information in the field and less speculation.

The next time we attend a circus we will feel no profound emotion over the "dangrous" seal of the trapeze performer; it will be breathless. Such feats have been completely eclipsed by the ninety-fall of that man who hurried himself that distance down in a local park, where he was not alone. The reason he survived was that he fell upon a net, just as the circus folk do, except that the netting was of wool instead of cord. It had to be done by projecting the would have gone through it like a bullet through a coal board. The wire, to be sure, was not placed there for either safety or hotel patrons, but as is customary, to prevent accidentally falling articles from breaking the skylight glass. But under the circus performance, both strength and resiliency to lesson the shock. Obviously the man was miraculously fortunate that he lived, but he demonstrated by his act that he could withstand a netting to soften the effects of a long drop. - The Times-Picayune.

FRESHMAN MORTALITY
The problem of freshman mortality in the university has been thrown open to scrutiny and resolved itself into a problem of social adjustment
Of course, when one considers the scanty social background with which the majority of entering freshmen are enrolled in college, we derive one of the faults in the present system. We do not allow for a period of adjustment. This period should last at least six months or more of the secondary schools. It does not seem that it is the duty of the university to spend time on keeping people in college who obviously are not fully enrolled.
One of the favorite retorts of many colleges to the problem of freshman students is that they are poorly prepared. Yet the college itself sets that standard of

state, cannot impose too stringent requirements for admission. To do so would deber many students from ad- juxta states to be exposed to the problem of the need to be flunking out the students who are not prepared to go on with their university education.
This is a very cruel and wasteful procedure. Many students are admitted to the university under this plan, which requires them to enroll in college. Perhaps some plan such as the Regent's entrance examinations would relieve the situation. Students who fail to enroll may be required to take these examinations for admission to the university and requirements for extra-stress students entering could easily be tightened.
