A TRIBUTE
Last night K. U. joined the ranks of nation wide music lovers to pay tribute to the memory of one of the greatest of all composers, Franz Schubert, whose centennial is being celebrated in practically all the nations of the world.
Although not truly appreciated during his time the world has since recognized Schabert as a genius because of the melodious beauty of his compositions. His works have survived the hundred years since his death. He has made an everlasting contribution to the beauty and happiness of the world. No one can hope for a well rounded and cultural education without an appreciation of good music. Appreciation is the capacity to understand, and only by hearing such music may we gain an understanding of its true spirit and beauty.
DISASTERS
Man has taken great strides in his conquest of the elements, but still he is as a worm and a weakling before the strength of an angry nature, Tritie, but true. The past week brought us only too close to this acknowledgment.
When the Vestriank we congruated ourselves on having both feet on Kansas soilt When Vesuvius began snearing its molten rock over the landscape, we were only too glad there was an ocean between us and the old fire-sputter. Gales and floods have swept southern Europe and England. Now, the floods have come to eastern Kansas to be seen from the back door of the University. Property loss in this region alone is estimated to be over $25,000,000. In England and along the coasts of Germany, Holland, and France, the damage even greater, with a terrific death toll and an inestimable loss of seagrass craft.
When natural phenomena become manicual, there seems to be no way to quell the consequential disaster. Storms and floods are likely to be fall any place at any time. It is up to us to assist the fortunate, for some day we, too, may be in like circumstances. We may have escaped catastrophe thus far, but need to be reminded that Mother Nature is a bit eccentric and chooses no favorites.
THOUGHTLESSNESS
Are we as university students emotionally unstable or just thoughtless? The calling of the city fire department Friday night as a means of getting students to attend the rally appeared to the fire chief as an act of vandalism. Even the most unconcerned observer would have to admit it was reckless.
Calling the fire department was not approved by the cheerleader. Most foolish pranks that often lead to disastrous consequences usually are not sanctioned by anyone in authority to act. Then why do such practices occur in apparently civilized society? University students are not the only offenders. The past election brought forth a train of disturbances which can be accounted for on the plea that people were emotionally overwrought and it is the same story whenever anything unusual occurs from a fire to a boat disaster.
Luckily for everyone concerned there are no casualties resulting from Friday night's thoughtless prank. A fire might have occurred
while the trucks were making the dash to the Hill, and again the trucks might have met disaster on the slippery streets.
A WORLD IN DOUBT
More than a hundred lives have been lost in one of the most tragic linestars of the decade, and the bimene apparently cannot be placed with authority on any person or persons. Just as it would seem that the dead captain of the Vectris is to be held liable in the eyes of the world, a witness comes to the stand who by vague answers makes it appear that bad weather and water coming in "between decks" caused the tragedy. Although the first officer and the chief engineer are both survivors of the wreck, pertinent facts remain in the dark: the exact cause of the vessel's sinking, the location of the leaks that admittedly developed, the reason for the delay in sending out an SOS, the explanation for the poorly equipped life boats and the inefficiency in launching them—in fact, none of the questions which the public is anxiously asking have been answered satisfactorily.
The British press received the information that the refusal of niger fire to remain in the boiler room because of the amount of water present and the consequent stopping of the engines caused the sipping. Yet the first officer, before United States Commissioner Francis A. O'Neill, stained that it was his opinion the coal burners were not filled. This same officer based his theory that the water was coming in between decks on the indefinite fact that "You could hear water running underneath there, somewhere," and yet he said that he gave up hope for the survival of the liner at 4 a.m. Monday, six hours before the SOS went out.
If the captain who went down with his ship was to blame, he has expiated his crime. If the carelessness of other officers in reporting the sarcineses of the situation to Captain Garcy caused the disaster, if mutiny in the boiler rooms was to blame, it the Laamport and Holl Tissue sent out a vessel muckworthy or manned with experienced seamen—then the guilty parties should pay the penalty, for the loss of innocent lives. Efforta should not be suspended until the harrencies of forgetfulness and ignorance which the witnesses have built up can be torn down and the truth be ascertained. The tragedy is doubled by doubt and the suspicion that it might have been averted.
The Chinese government is opening a new mint at the cost of three million dollars. But the mint's output is to be two million silver dollars daily. Looks like a good business proposition to us.

Sigrid Uibund, several of whose books have been widely read in Europe. She is the Nobel prize. Few historic novelties of recent years have surpassed the trilogy in which she pictures medieval Norway. Doubly the critics, she has won awards from the author and the second Scandinavian woman to carry off the prize will again suggest that an element of myopia enters into the awards at this time. She won three honors since 1901, seven have been Scandinavians. Is it a true picture of the world's literary achievement which suggests that one-fourth of them are myopia sufferers? Has it been quite fair to pass over men like Hardy and Brieux, Sudermann and Conrad? Probably not; but no jury can be involved in determining whether the awards has its excellent side.

Radio Altitude Meters Are Developed Which May Help Planes Land in For
Schenectedey, N. Y., Nov. 20. - Airplanes may soon be able to land safely in a forg without the pilot seeing the landing field at all. This is one of the possibilities of a new radio altitude meter for airplanes developed by Dr. K. Kim and others. The meter uses GPS data, described by Dr. K. Kim to the National Academy of Sciences here today.
The radio altitude gauge does the same thing for an airplane that the sonic depth finder does for a ship, he announced. With the aid of the latter the captain can make a record of the depth of the water beneath him. He can not only avoid shallow water, but he can automatically plot the location of the ship's position on the chart. It operates by sending a sound wave from an oscillator on the bottom of the ship. The wave travels to the bottom, is reflected upwards

The attainment of idealistic objectives of mutual understanding and good will may be influenced by the interests and the interest of college students in the United States; that relations between the United States and France will be aided by the "Juniper Year Around" plan which is being adapted by some institutions abroad.
To be eligible for a scholarship offered by the Committee on Foreign Travel and Study about their education, the American student must declare his or her intention of returning to an American college for a degree. The scholarship through the generosity of a group of interested persons and amount to $1000 each. In addition to these three amounts, the committee about twenty scholarships of $500 each, the purpose of which is to extend further the justice year of students who are female and women, are for study in France only and are intended to help detray the additional expenses of an ordinance travel in France during the year.
THE "YEAR ABROAD" PLAN
This plan has several obvious advantages. The number of college students in our country is higher than the peak intake and write French with reasonable case will be increased. They will be better qualified to teach French in our course. The advantage of the undergraduate year abroad will be appreciated if they desire to go from college to business or a professional career. The advantage of their foundation will be firm if they wish to return to France for graduate study. Finally the number of students who we can turn for knowledge of the customs, ideas and attitudes of the French people will be reasonably increased. This will be dividual and the possible ultimate influence on both countries are factors which make the plan well worth con-
Doctor Stephen P. Duggan, director of the Institute of International Education, is in general charge and the plan has the communication of many officials and members of the operation of American college faculties and French authorities, has passed out the experimental stage, and has become a permanent factor in international education. In international education, plan, plan shall speed his first two undergraduate years in an American college, attends some French institution his junior year, arranging his course so that he will have the opportunity to be his senior year and his degree.

"Radio waves may be made to do the same thing for the airplane that the sound waves do for the ship," the engineer says, "they travel at the speed of light and far faster than the sound waves through water, their one requires less energy." Radio waves are sent out from a transmitter on the plane, part travel downwards to the ground, there they are received by sensors. They may be placed up again in the airplane. The time it is too short to notice the difference, however, and the radar system will work better.
and the difference between the time
the sound is made and the time the
echo returns permits an exact measurement of the depth.
The method consists in determining whether the returning wave is in step with the transmitted wave or in lower or higher, or if the ground wave becomes an exact number of wavelengths above the ground, the two waves are in step. If the plane then goes higher or lower, or if the ground wave will be out of step. If the height above the ground changes more than a whole wave-length, the waves come out of step. The distance is equipped with apparatus for measuring the relation of the two waves, and the number of times they change, then the height of the ground is measured. In Doctor Alexander Alekseev's diptych the measured by the effect of the returning wave on the actual transmission, then it affects the strength of the transmitted wave and so it affects the strength of the returning wave. Then, by memorizing this strength of the returning wave in step the distance is determined.
Doctor Alexander Anderson also suggested a method of using two inductors with two coilsters or slightly different frequency. They could be arranged so that the wires acted on each other, and could be arranged, for instance, to light a green lamp when the plane is 240 feet high and a red lamp at 80 feet. If these radio indicators of height are not used, they can be mechanical landing devices touching the ground at 10 to 14 feet, and Doctor Alexander, "it is conceivable," at

For blind dates sometimes turn out
to make you wish you had stairs

of Doctor Foley's alzheimer
Sitting often goes with a blind dates. When you didn't have a good time you got shaking. Or maybe your wife got shaking. Or maybe you, who can't get dates otherwise, have blind dates. They are the cities who make blind date washouts. But they are not the cities circulations. Maybe they should be taken out of circulation like money in that dooms have "kL". "Me" sometimes for both people and money.
Many a man will tell you he be told in love on a blind date. Some may even boast and tell you he met his wife on a blind date. If he did, he was very well off. If he were all in wail, if they weren't, it won it too bad.

7. GORILLA PROBLEM
Two details of the League of Nations, who have solved or adedented so many difficult problems in the past, are that they will wield their integrity may well tax their ingenuity or judgment. It concerns the status of the gorillas which inhabit mankind, and that they are in danger of extinction from pet hunters. Are they "indigenous nationals"? If so, then the League may consult with the world leaders who are more likely "natural resources?" Then the Mandate Commission may consult the wishes of the human population to preserve its neighborhoods, The Darwinian, not to say Daytonian or Arkansas, twist to this situation obviously imposes the duty of adaptation upon the League authorities.
But the problem may be solved without involving the League officials in the disputes of another Scopes trial案 in the House of Commons, but the simuli are "indigenous natives" of Africa, even if they are not distant scouts of humankind. And since the traditional riches of that region, even beyond the mountains, included "ages and livestock," they may be reckoned among its "natural resources." Considering the vaulted archives of the League, it returned to exhibit photographs of their process, it is surprising that there are any gorillas left to warrant the maternal care of the League

**GOING BACK A Few YEARS**
"The Insomnication Tongtai!" This headline reads at the reader from the first page of a copy of the Uni-verse 1912. Then follows swiftly the words "fire, burning, crenation." These threatening terms were used in derogatory terms to learn the importance to burn in effigy the Missouri Tiger. No one seems to know definitely just when the good old custom originated that it was being worn on the army uniforms. Plans for this rally were made far in advance and for ten days prior to the meeting, announcements related to the new uniform were given to the official organ of the University. Tickets for the rally were sold at ten cents each. Upon collection of tickets, members and technical staff of local carpenters were called into being for the construction of the artificial tiger. The team of the poecio-Bengals used, they were liner only in their stripes and might easily have been mistaken for zebras. The time for the rally eventually was the morning of them were held during the morning.

Yelling, organized and otherwise, followed the lighting of the fire and increased steadily as the flames linked their way upward toward the tiger. Because the crowd reached its height when the fire consumed the tiger and the emblem of Missouri floated off in the form of smoke to the staccato accompaniment of the drum. This point every man, woman and child present gave his or her best vocal effort and the members of the University band almost blew their instruments to bits.

The burnings took place at Ballarat University Hall and here a large, highly unmanable heap was built of boxes. At the top the Missouri effigy was draped over the ground and a monkey had been thoughtful enough, a few blank cartridges of high calibre were hidden in the dumb beetle to document when the lames reached it.
