INDIAN SUMMER
Indian summer, famed in song and story for its gnai sunshine and abluring haze, has been weighed in the series of scientific research and found barren in health properties.
Now intently of thinking of Indian summer as a season of health and purity, we will have to find some other element in which to husk and pick up the health properties necessary to life. To become sunburned now, we will have to use other means besides the rays of the Indian summer sun. Persons who had acquired a coat of tm during this season were examined to determine the data necessary for the active measurements of Chicago sunlight. Yet will actistic deficiencies make the October sunshine less clearning? Will the dismal declarations of savants keep newspapers from reprinting the editorial classic about "October in Kansas"? Certainly not. Who worries about what scienticians say of Indian summer go long as they can't do anything about it?
MORE WALKS
Suitable approaches which can be used throughout the year have been built from the west, south, east and northeast, but the north continues to be neglected. A few approaches from that side are only paths which cannot be traversed during bad weather. When these paths are impossible many students living on the north side, along California, Maine, Missouri, Alabama and Illinois streets, must go several blocks out of their way in order to reach the Hill. There are no walks on the campus between West Campus road and Mississippi street, a distance of six blocks. Time is as valuable to these students as any others. At least a gravel or a cinder path could be maintained.
The statement is often heard that University authorities have caused walks to be built wherever half dozen students decide to cross or approach the campus. Such may appear to be the case to many visitors and those students who never have had occasion to survey the entire campus.
THE DEBT OF NICARAGUA
The costline and depressing after effects of war are illustrated in the case of Nicaragua. Following a period of prosperity and stable government, this little country was able to pay off its entire floating debt in 1925. In 1925, it was torn by revolution and disunion. Little of the revenue could be collected because of lack of authority and the question of deciding to whom it should be paid. Although the balance of trade exceeded three million dollars and the country's exports totaled more than 16 million dollars, most of this money went for arms and ammunition with which to fight the revolutionists.
The failure to collect much revenue coupled with the property damage within the country, has placed Nicaragua's financial standing far down in the liability side of the ledger. So disrupted is the financial organization that no one has more than a hazy notion of what the country's debt really is. Vouchers presented against the government totaled a little more than
16 million dollars in December, 1927. This represents only a few months of internal strife, but it has plumed Nicaragua so far in debt that years will be required for its recovery.
THE FRIENDLY HOUSE
There exists on the Campus an or organization which maintains its home
nization which maintains its home down the avenues at a house called Henley House. Some one has called it "Friendly House." Here that women of all creeds and colors meet on common ground and form pleasant associations. This organization stands apart from others on the Hill in that it definitely atmosphere to create the friendly atmosphere on Mt. Orlean.
The Y, W, C, A, fuffs a definite purpose. Its activities are many and varied. A large part of the first contacts made by students entering the University are through the Y, W, C, A, and its hired organization, the Y, M, C, A. All summer its committees are working through the Big Sister organization to under the first days on the Hill as pleasant as possible for the new women. The K book or "freshman's Bible" is also a part of its interest in the new students. The first week of school, particularly this year was much easier through the work of this organization and others. Through out the year the Y, W, C, A, welcomes and serves student girls.
This week the Y, W, C, A, begins its annual campaign for funds with which to carry on its work. Alumni, the state, and townpeople generally contribute a generous share of the fund necessary to maintain these activities on the Campus. Women students will be asked to add their share to make the program possible and keep open the door to the "Friendly House".
FRONTIER JUSTICE
From Nebraska comes the word that the Nebraska Banker's Association will soon offer a formal reward of $5,000 for every dead bank-bandit. Texas banks already have such a reward. Similar moves are being integrated everywhere.
A prize for killing!
That so outstanding a group of state's citizens should make themselves virtually a party to murder focuses attention again to the greatest of American civil problems, Law enforcement, compiled with the successes of amurcusiph lawyers in defending hailms, has nursed the profession of Jesse James into a giant so violent that the hackers no longer feel the Law an adequate guard. The price for the scalp of the offender is a reversion to the tables of frontiersmen who knew justice was more easily obtained "on the draw" than at the bar.
Codification of all laws, elimination of court delays, and stringent ethical tests for lawyers, might strengthen the power of the courts to give justice.
The Wyoming W, C. T. U, has cautioned members not to drink cider after it has stood twenty-four hours. Milk is another liquid which should not be allowed to stand too long.
"Inside Stuff"
"The Kanan suppressed the news" was the slap-dash decision. Yet it so happened that on the same event, the editor's jet story got left out also.
Marion Leigh, news editor, is also manager of the W. S. G. A. group system. A story of that organization's activity was written the same day the story was not published that evening; either; yet no one accused Miss Leigh of having "suppressed" a story in which she was particularly interested. The "suppression" came about as the result of a combination of circumstances, including unkillable and slow death so no speedy. The stories were not in type at press time, and hence did not appear in the Kanan.
Yet several intelligent people suspected that the Kannan "suppressed the news".

A little criticism has been heard to the effect that the Kanan does not reflect true campus opinion. This may be misgiven, because it should reflect campus opinion?
Editor Daily Kansas
Newspapers today do not even attempt to reflect the opinions of the day but try to be the lenders or investors in your business. You don't try to load no amount to much editorially in this day and ago. Editors are supposed to do the thinking for their readers and not just simulate dispsepses of opinion already formed.
Why should the Kanman be any different from other papers even though he is the official author of the book. The Professor of the University of Minnesota does not even try to give campus opinion but tries to lead. And then, his student opinion always in favor of him.
Hover said in his speech to the South, "In a contest like this there is no place for personal bitterness. A great attribute of our political life has been the spirit of fair play with which our presidential contests have played out, and the sportsmanship attitude in which we've accepted the result."

Is there now bitterness in American politics today? Are the Republicans fighting for Hoover and the Democrats for Smith in a spirit of gay liberation? Is it going to be the case on our University campus. The Hoover hooch was destroyed, presumably by Smith devotees. The arguments are hot and long at fraternity and security dinner tables. It has been said that this is just the end of it. But it might well be taken an indication of the outside world.
And does this bitterness that arises in the excitement of a campaign subside in moan as the election results come in on November 6 only to calm down on November 7 and remain very pleased and content until it is time to elect another president? We think if. Were this the case, the two separate parties would not extinguish their holdings in to the credit of the American people that, despite this, the spirit of fair play predominates.—J. J.

It has been suggested that the best definition of the word "highbrow" is that "A highbrow is a person whose knowledge has exceeded his privilege."
UNDERSTANDING
Socrates was no highbrow, but many college men are, if we accept this definition. Socrates did not set out to require knowledge particularly, but to understand those things that he did know. College men, some of whom have learned so many ways, set out to accumulate as much knowledge as they can, and hurry from course to course to learn all about what the big wars mean so that they can talk knowlfully if not loudly about psychology and sociology, and build up a lottering structure of information swaying precautionarily on a disorder structure of understanding, every time one buits up against such a person a crumbling piece of precarious structure falls off to misappropriate levels of knowledge which a mere 'one year' of college has achieved. It is no wonder that the 'highbrow' and the enlightened college boy is in Bifavour in many parts, and that people often wonder why it is that a person who knows so much should be able to live, where the problems are the arms to the educated and the uneducated alike. All the information at the ready finger tips of those people seems unless in solving the common little troubles that come up in life, where the problems are the failure of those people become apparent in the matter of understanding other people and other viewpoints. Their very learning leads to dogmatism, and the essence of a liberal education, understanding, is subserved to an overhanging assurance, which encourages them their own on any rate who knows what he is talking about.
lation of the findings of men. The task of the student is to simplify knowledge, not to complicate it to- understand it, not to pile it up in understanding it, not over which one is concu-
sively standing—McGill Daily (Montreal).
Probably the tendency towards this sort of attitude has grown a little less in the last few years, and there are very many people in the colleges today to whom the above remarks do not apply. We realize that what is desired is an understanding of the things of human experience, not simply a tabu
G1.2 THEM A CHANCE
A public reply by Doctor Little, president of the University of Michigan, has calmed the request of citizens and alumni of that institution who asked that an investigation be made into the facts regarding the use of intoxicating beverages in his office. Doctor Little says that he believes the reports of discretely or unlawful students fails to be greatly exaggerated.
We know nothing about the condition of affairs at Michigan, but there seems no doubt that Dodor Little is right in suggesting an exaggeration in the faux. The fact is that under the waterful eye of everyone at all times, its members are up on a high pedestal, without any reason, and if a slight mistest is made, the news is broadcast to the world, and the action students is taken as an exAMPLE of the average college man or woman.
College students are the most conservative group in the world. Not in clothes pernas but in ideas and actions. No student of a large university will do anything or express an ideen unless he knows it will be acceptable without attitude and sulitude and wais afraid that some act of his will win disfavor.
We do not deny that there is certain amount of drinking among college men. But when a student is seen imbibing, it is broadcast, and the facts become more distorted with each repetition. The result is that the student group as a whole is treated uniquely. It is not the news through their own disorderly conduct rather than the actions of the body.
If the public were to place students on the same plane with other human beings, then a surprise would be awaiting them.
Our experience has been that a university student has higher morals, and conducts itself better than any other group of its size in the United States. The whole difficulty lies in the unfair judging of a truly conservative group of people, the college men and women—Ohio State Law
What Kansas Editors Say
FITTING PUNISHMENT
The public will view with complicity the action of a circuit court judge in Kansas City, who sentenced a "hit and run" driver, charged with driving a motor car while intoxicated in the Missouri state penitentiary.
It is becoming increasingly plain that severe enquiries will have to be taken from the police, as a monkey to the public. In this case, the driver knocked down a 6-year-old girl, drove away from the scene, and later cracked into a small boy on a bus.
Booze and gasoline do not mix. That has been demonstrated beyond that, for example, tanking up on alcohol beverages and then going out in their cars while in no fit condition to drive will have to face the music when they get into trouble.
Prison sentences for drunken drivers are entirely fitting. Harsh punishment is the only deterrent for those who prove themselves irresponsible when trying to manage the vast power that is theirs for slight foot pressure behind the hood of the modern automobile—El Dorado Times,
Have You Seen--from Flo Zeigeld that the very slender American girl is no longer desired in the chord (a plural of chorus) and in the ballad "a bonfire is being serely supplanted."

It is reported that a man in Berlin, Germany tabulated 122 hours in succession. We'll bet the American newspaper columnists financed the stunt. Think of all the wise-erax it will furnish.
Where was his wife?
Here are a few of the things the right boys are saying about it:
What office was it running for?
Was he in training for a political
I was his wife.
Wasn't it a woman in disguise?
Who could he get to listen to him
that long?
