THAT OLD WHISTLE
"A whistle out of time is worse than none at all", may well be the maxim applied to the present University whistle which sounds its warning notes at various times in the day, All year it has been a source of much annoyance to students and faculty, through its unreliable calling of class periods.
Sometimes it does not blow at all, end many wonder whether they are going to be late for the next class. It often delays changes between classes by uttering its untimely warning a few minutes late. This confusion is unnecessary. The University should have a reliable means of announcing the end of the class period. When this is done a must smoother routine will result.
ROBERT LANSING
With the death of Robert Lansing, America and the world as well, loses one of its outstanding champions for world peace and proper national relations. Lansing, who was secretary of state under President Wilson, not only championed the cause for peace after the World War but throughout his life allied himself with organizations and activities which have forwarded better relationships between nations and peoples.
He was born in New York in 1864 and was graduated from Amherst in 1886. In 1889 he was admitted to the bar and from that year until 1901 was connected with the firm of Lansing and Lansing. In 1892 and 1893 he was associate counsel for the United States in the Behring Sea arbitration and later was solicitor for his country on the Alaska Boundary Tribunal in 1902. He also had a prominent part in the Coast Fisheries controversy at The Hague the following year. He was counsellor for the department of state in 1914 and appointed secretary of the department the next year, serving until 1920.
Following his retirement from the state department he was counsel for the Chinese government and also for Chile in the Taema-Arica dispute. He was a member of the American Society of International Law and a trustee of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is the author of several books on government which treat most of its growth and form.
Mr. Lansing's endeavor to promote proper relations between countries and individuals marks him as one of the foremost diplomats of America and his passing removes from this country an outstanding statesman who was regarded highly by leaders of all nations.
HOMECOMING SPIRIT
Several months after the signing of the Armistice back in November, 1918, the boys from over there began to return to the states and to their homes. And their homecoming was fed with all kinds of happy celebrations permeated with the spirit of reunion.
the newcoming idea has been made a tradition in our colleges and universities. Homecoming is a time of reunion, a time for a pilgrimage of former students back to the places which are dear to them. It is also a time for present students to come
into contact with those graduates who have become players in the game of life and experience.
but more significant than these relations and visits, happy as they may be, is the spirit with which homecoming refreshes the institution. It is a spirit which shows that the University is more than a system for the present generation of students; the University is more lasting than the span of a single human lifetime; it goes on and on. The spirit accompanying the time of the return of the old graduates puts the school in its holiday attive and its best "Welcome" mood. But this spirit also emphasizes the stintfulness, the growth and the usefulness of the university.
A NEW EXPERIMENT
Nicaragua will try a new experiment at the national election of that country is held Nov. 4 under the supervision of the United States government. Although the conservatives attempted some months ago to curtail the power placed in the hands of General McCoy, the election will be held according to the Simpson agreement. The action of the conservatives seems to indicate a lack of confidence in their own strength. As the party in power they would be able, without the Marines' supervision, to manipulate the election returns and so assure victory.
Under the present plan the voters will be guarded against the usual forms of intimidation and fraud, such as faked registrations, repeating, voting by dead men, and the importation of "voters" from neighboring republics. Liquor is to be barred on election day, and the polls will be supervised by the ballots counted under American eyes. The purpose of the supervised election is to give a clear cut decision between the liberals and conservatives.
It is quite likely that the defeated party will accuse the Americans of favoritism. In case neither candidate has the necessary majority the choice lies with the Nicaraguan congress which selects the president and, under the constitution need not pick the man having the higher number of votes. In such an event, revolution is possible. Realizing this General McCoy is prepared for any emergency.
IT IS NEARLY OVER
The presidential campaign is drawing to a close. The candidates are making their final speeches in the effort to round up votes. Within a few days we shall know who he is to be president of the United States for the next four years. The Republican party seems positive that another Republican will succeed President Coolidge in the White House and that the party will continue in power. The Democrats, likewise are optimistic and deplore what they term the over-conference of the Republicans. They expect to congratulate their own candidate on Nov. 7.
Are there any regrets regarding the present campaign? Are the American people fully satisfied with the way it has been conducted by both parties? In one of his earlier speeches Mr. Hoover commended the absence of bitterness in American presidential campaigns. But just recently he termed one charge made against him "the most indecent and unworthy statement in the whole of a bitter campaign." Has he changed his mind? Another charge he has had to meet was that concerning his American citizenship. Also, from Governor Smith's standpoint, personalities have not been eliminated from the campaign. Objectionable charges have been made against him as well as against Mr. Hoover.
the campaign is nearly over—
for now four years. Is there any
one who, despite his hopes for the
outcome, is not glad of that fact?
French dentists have found a new use for the radio, a Paris dispatch announces. Entertaining patients while they wait may make the cash extraction easier, who knows.
Japanese watermelon growers in Hawaii are more obliging than American farmers. They keep the melon in paperacks while they are growing and have the picking date marked on the sock.
Apparatus Makes Possible Outdoor Television. Experimenters Announce
Washington, Nov. 1—Big television transmitters, or extremely amenable photoelectric cells, contain the secret of successful outdoor television. This was the message brought to the American Optical Society, in its meeting at the Bureau of Standards this morning by Dr. Frank Gray and Dr. Herbert Ives, two of the scientists chiefly responsible for the success of the Bell Telephone Laboratories' system of television. When first publicly demonstrated, they recalled, the Bell method employed beam scanning. A narrow and intense pinch of light rapidly covers all parts of the subject and the light reflected is picked up by a battery of light sensitive cells. The camera used for this task can only be used if the method cannot be used out of doors because of the interference of daylight, as well as its limited range. Ordinary daylight is not sufficient to operate the transmitter with ordinary equipment.
"Inside Stuff"
Jim Duch has a brother, Thirty; Strange name; he was acquired from a distant cousin, reputed to be wealthy; the telegram. After each telegram the operator sends dots and dashes representing "Th" meaning that is a space. So Thirty Duch means "This is the end of this news story."
Because Thirty is a creature of hibernation he seldom misbehaves the way I do, and he will stand old of a clap he will appear in his bed. Inadvertently Haddad had'ed said a word about him.
His brother is nowhere near as versatile as his brother, Jim. All His everdays are deis is say, "Filnis." So folks, meet Thirty:—
Today's Best Editorial
(Written especially for Beluman Narsule)
"LAME DUCK" CONGRESS
The situation is unfortunate, if not intolerable. I₄ of course, springs from the fact that in the earlier days of the Republic it took months for men elected to Congress to reach Washington. That condition no longer endures. There is no reason whatsoever why the results of the election should not be effective by seating the President, the senators and the representatives then elected on the first of the following 'annually.
The effort to correct the constitutional provision under which a new congress does not come into active being until thirteen months after its election, as long as it remains this winter. It is one of those reforms which practically everybody upraises and yet which does not get translated into legislation. The argument for it seems almost unanswerable. An election in November may be complicated by a Government, indicating a desire of the people for vital legislative changes; yet the senators and representatives then elected do not, ordinarily, take their seats for thirteen months, while the members of the repudiated party remain and have four months in which to act in defence of the popular mandate.
A proposed amendment to the Constitution to this effect was approved by the Senate last year, but received only a vote of 589 to 157 in the House. It will be brought up again this year. It will be brought up, again that opposition which proceeds from the disinclination of men in office to do anything that would shorten the term of office—holding—Christian Science Monitor.

THE COLLEGE YELL
This is a reform we heartily deplore. What are our colleges coming to? Has football become so vital important that it must be played in the same way as in general attention, unmarried by the exuberant, if senescence, cheers of the spectators? Are college yells to become dignified recitations such as "Play up, play up and play the game!" Or do they? Is there a fate?" Are cheer leaders to maintain a studied calm and forget their basketball antics even when the ball
From the Pacific Coast Association of College Yell Leaders comes the annual "Gear" contest, which must be done to raise the standards of organized rooting at football games. Apparently a reform movement has been formed to lead leader acrobatics and meaningless cheers, to bring more "grace" and into the conduct of cheerleading stands.
+ By using an extra large lens, with a larger scanning size and larger aperture, can be picked up, and focused on the surface of the sensitive cell. But the picture also is larger, and so the resolution can be improved, the individual elements remain the same. The pictures shown just as much detail as the ones shown in Figure 12. As photocellic cells are becoming more sensitive, it is not necessary to make the scanning discs unreasonably wide.
Doctor Gray started that there was a curious optical illusion which helped them out in televising full length figures.
Curious Optical Illusion
"It has been held," said, "in order to produce informative television images of full-body髋部 images that are easier to use in a very much finer grinned image than those that have been used thus far for the transmission of the images."
It has been interesting to find that with our 50 lens, that is 2500 element images, which are just sufficient for the transmission of clearly visible faces, the rendering of fall lengths spontaneously is surprisingly entails factors. The reason for this appears to be largely neurological.
To appear that some a full length leaves are observed in the exposition of rendering of detail in automatically filled the whole field we expect to fill the whole field we expect to and even if the fields defined where full length features we are satisfied if we use base hand and feet clearly visible from all three viewpoints details of surrounding large sites.
Expectation is Reduced
"The effect is very much as though the observer were looking through a window. If someone on the other side is able to see all of the opening enough to fill the whole opening we expect to use fine detail in the face. If however, the person walks away the effect is not quite enough, we no longer expect to litterplain fine details of the face."
s on the 10-yard line? What does hit association of college yell leaders man with its talk of "dignity" and "grace?"
The cheers are an important part of college life and a very important part of football. Look at some of them as called from the records. Bob Halifax 'Bob' Heil Ha! Ha! Ha! Colorado college Bohl Ha! Rahl 'Rahl' - New York Post,
Though W. Z. Foster is ordered out of Wellington, Delaware, by the police for fear he might make a speech on Communist trend, and Dallas, Texas, refuses a hall to Ben Giltow for the same reason, the latter town gives a free rein to Richard Potts, "secretary general of the Royal Society," for the establishment of a memorial in Washington. And the same day Charles Smith, protégé of abstinence, goes to jail as a voluntary martyr in Little
"FREEDOM OF SPEECH"
Rock, Arkansas, rather than pay a $25 for defending his opinions. Not all of the influence with freedom of speech sparches out of the Presidential campaign, though that is not always available for evidence by both sides in Alabama and other cotton states, for the staging of a decorated vernacular speech: "a street corner in Brooklyn," or a posting of Smith's profile in Oklahoma.
We cannot help thinking that Americans need a logical definition of the verb 'speak.' In it, speech as a ruling approach? In it such a speech is not distasteful to local or class prefers. Can we generalize on such topic?
Anyhow, Dallas, Texas, has drawn the line sharp. It is not permissible to advocate Communism or Socialism. Anyone who advocates a monarchy. What General Sam Houston would have thought of such a contrast in the State he virtually created may be left to the common people. New Orleans, Times-Picayune.

SHADOWS OF SOCRATES
Even after the first disconcerting jolt which a freshman realizes that college profs do not cuddle with their students (that is, as regards matters of scholastic apperience)—there is often in upper-grades a sense that an instructor might not human one once in a great white, just for variety.
