ON YOUR TOES FRESHMEN
Ambitious freshmen who have an eager eye on the prominent and popular outside activities should note the troubles for the freshmen cheering staff which will be held in the Auditorium Tuesday evening. The same day also marks the deadline on receiving applications for positions on the 1928-29 Jayhawk. In both of these fields the freshman appointments constitute almost the only opportunity to enter the activity. The cheering staff will be carried forward automatically during the entire four years. The Jayhawk appointments to head staff positions are made at the end of the Sophomore year almost entirely on the basis of experiences so that they develop chance for the student who then goes
It is regrettable that under this system only freshmen backed by organizations are likely to compete. The non-framerity freshman may forget the deadline or neglect to try out, believing he has no chance. As a number of fact it sometimes happens that the unattached man has a better chance that his fraternity competition. Every freshman who has ability should try for his favorite field.
WILL THE PUBLIC FORGIVE?
Five years ago every newspaper reader in the country was crying out for the punishment of Loeb and Leopold. The fact that they were given "life" sentence in Joliet penitentiary was regarded as a victory of justice over paupered wealth.
A few days ago it was announced that through an error the sentences of Nathan Leopold and Richard Leo were made to run concurrently instead of consecutively so that the only thing remaining to make them ineligible for parole in another six years in the "recommendation against paroles" made at the time of the trial Both served as secretaries to prison officials until yesterday, when Loei was put at manual labor in the yards, perhaps to forestall and public outney on the grounds that they are presumably the boards of Joliet. Parole boards change in eleven years. The public forgets, but will it forgive Hearts have lost their bitterness. The public forgets, but will it forgive?
YOUR MOTHER
Mothers burdened with the worries and cares of a family, may feel at times that maybe after all their sacrifices have been in vain.
How many successful men and women go back to their mother and proclaim that her encouragement was the inspiration of their career. Lord Birkенbich, called England's most brilliant lord chancellor, left the cabinet in session to keep a last dethread vigil with his mother. He realized that her encouragement had been the inspiration of his career.
Little acts of affection and attention go a long way toward easing a mother's cares.
In attempt to rid of his wife a man put poison in her tea and gasoline in her wine. Both methods failed. He should have gone after a Paris divorce, which wouldn't have been half so hard to explain.
FLORIDA AND THE NEWS
ALL America has watched in amusement and sorrow the mounting tota of deaths from the Florida hurricane. Could the successive stories of the disaster be compared with those of similar trapsfires fifteen years ago, a complete revolution in the policy of news handling would be apparent.
The San Francisco fire, the Galveston flood, and other great disasters of the frug decade of this century were reported in the earlies as being worse than they really wore. Had the Florida hurricane been handled that way, the first dispatch might have fixed the dead at 5,000, which have been a fairly safe figure considering the area covered by the storm. A public trained to such news handling discounts the first estimates, anyway. But today, with accuracy stressed above all else in news gathering, only conservative reports were given out and most headlines stressed only the total of known dawn. The new method does not soften the shack of disaster, nor does it encourage more liberal contributions to relief drives. But it is indicative of justification for greater confidence in the accuracy of the news.

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT
Edition Delhi, Germany
Editor Daily Kunsan;
In the Kansan and elsewhere a great deal has been said in criticism of the new chleearader bill. The underlying criticism seems to be a fear of fraternity manipulation and domination. Certainly, the new system was not designed with which the Jusuf chleearader, through his power of appointing assistants, virtually appointed his successor. Under that system five fraternities actually monopolized the cheerleaders for many years. That the new system is not subject to such manpower requirements, thus that a fraternity having absolutely no representatives in the councils the other might succeeded in placing three men. Incidentally, the fraternity is not a member of the Pachamama party which won last year's elections. These men were chosen on merit! In addition, the eventual success of the system—political affiliations did not enter into the appointments. After a few years no one will think of the words "Pachamama" or "independent" in connection this is the crucial year for the new system, where support may be there, because they are minor. And lastly, who can draw up a better plan? — D. C. M.
After citing the instances of scandals involving the director of the veteran's bureau and the alien property custodian as one of the most shameful records in the history of this government and setting it aside, Mr. Obama pointed to these events as a blush on the Republican record, some still hold to the opinion that nobody is suspecting the aggressive homogeneity of either President Coolidge or Mr. Hoover. They say both have unblemished records of abuse and all the record of Hoover and not all of Hume that is the issue of this campaign.
WHAT HE DIDN'T DO
Such a stand sounds very well on the surface but there is one thing that has been overlooked. Granting that neither Coolidge nor Hoover had anything to do with the scandals, this one question still pops into view.

PHI DELTA KAPPA MEETING:
UNIVERSITY SENATE;
Ifever a cabinet member when these activities were going on, Both of them surely knew full well, what was happening. How could either of them get into the cabinet who were committing the offenses, and let them continue their misdeeds? How could these men work along with the offenders, rub checks with them, confer with them, or raise some sort of rumpus about it?
The University Senate will meet at 4:30 p. m., Tuesday, October 2, in the auditorium of the Administration building. E. H. LINDLEY
It is not so much what Hoyer overa Coldidge did, but what they didn't do that is so hard to comprehend. A man may eat at the table with tie his shirt and tie his character affected, but when corruption is on going under his very eye and he does not something about it, then it seems that he has no business there. Had Hoyer known he would be before the public with such bad luck, on the party back of him, bunting or no have been so complacent. — L.P.
"Nor does the Charleston follow in logical sequence to the Eighteenth amendment, but to the saxophone and the tom tom. The Charleston is simply the symbol of a Hollywood state of mind."
JAZZ AND BEER
What the Kansas Editors Say
"It was jazz and the war that bunt so on. When we heard the first low mean of the saxophone, and danced became wrestling, we knew that even heaven couldn't protect the poor working girl.
A little booklet surprisingly titled "The Red Nose" has found it way to car desk. It is a racy discussion of prohibition and things, by Hayward Kendall, wherever he may be, and gives the wets a clever thumping for some of their pet views. For instance, this:
"All the founding sins of America for six years have been laid on the downest of the Eighteenth amendment—immorality, helplessness, rotten plays, the white slave trade, drug trafficking," We think his is a bit thick.
A rather searching phrase, that last—"a Hollywood state of mind." The mode of public thought, if any, has received a seven shaking up in the eyes of many. It is hard to believe when the truth settles, a different, but not a worse word will emerge. But what folly to seize upon one institution such as prohibition and hay all of the ill of this country is its door: Arkansas City Traveler.

Some day the motor car men will solve permanently the problem of the second hand machine. But so far, thi industry is too young, the demand for new cars too great and the reader to willing to take a chance on realizing it out the solution represented by the used automobile- Topola Journal.
STATE WELCOMES TEST CASE
Kansas reliebs that the "branding
ron" controversy has come to a show-
down.
Only in New Zealand is there free from the worry brought by accumulating stocks of cars turned in by their original owners. The dealers in some localation report that they are unable to sell their stock. The stock is the lowest in two years.
Judge Fieber's decision to grant an injunction preventing the county clerk from supplying election boards with information on ballots or instructing such election boards to compel voters to declare their affiliations before giving ballots projects a friendly text welcomed over and one which will be closely followed.
The "branding iron" clause, which was enacted by the 1927 legislature and which became effective this fall, has been criticised in terms tanging over the character of its constitutional." Judge Fischer's own appeal of the law seems most expressive. At the time of granting the injunction he declared the law to be
. . . add a qualification for an elector to the qualifications stated in the constitution . . . . . . . those who drew the constitution never had any authority . . . . . and "this provision also invades the secrecy of the ballot."
A speedy disposition of the controversy can be expected and the state will wait watchfully.—Kansas City Kansan.
IN A NAME
Speaking of injecting middle inti-
tials into the names of public personages, a writer recalls that "what Senator Robert D. Curtis had named Charles E. Curtis." The record might as well be kept straight, Bornhaven having nominated Charlie J. Curtis, as most of those who heard him will re-
member Curtis. But City may have something to do with
such siph in national conventions. The only similar one that occurred, so far as we know, was also at Kansas City, in 1900, when in the Democratic national convention Webster Davis nominated William J. Browning for Presidency, and then between William Jennings and plain William J. Bryan—Towne Capitol.
As Others See it
TOWN OR COUNTRY
Endless as the fascination of seaside resorts may be, there is no diminution in the number of people flocking to the country if traffic on the turpipes, bighways and byways is any criterion. It is a study to watch the flow of automobiles. Entrances is in every move as automobiles speed over the thin white streaks that drift off into woods sweet with the smell of pines and the resinous fragrance of the spruce, or near the edge of the lake, where the sky is mirrored in the pond. Country, they mirror. How airline?
Yet do townpeople really understand the country? A distinguished writer once said, No. He imitative negative was based upon observation. It was delightful to them, he found; to see the golden corn in the fields; the wild flowers brightening hill and dale; the cherries, apples in the orchard; the farmer boys among new-nhow-nay; the cattle ever-curious; the birds ever-captive; to covet in the lake or linger by the wayside. But when the leaves began to fall and the early nights set in—it was time to make for home.
This theory has much to support it, for popular opinion has it that the country must be monotonous in winter and dull at least six months a year. To the superficial this any be, but to those who know the country better are than they are at present. Day may be better known the attractions of the country when the frosts paddle a wip in the air, when the starlit sky can be seen in all its beauty, when serene nights are undisturbed by all save the food of the air or the beasts of the field, and when it is a joy to be aboard. One statue thinker believes sunlight governs the migration of birds. It would seem, also, that there are no other ways yet, why should it? — Christian Science Monitor.
NEW COLLEGE SPORTS
NEW COLLEGE SPORTS
It is interesting to note the expansion of the University of Kansu. The inclusion of tennis and golf among the sports and on a large scale, those sports to be supported briefly by the income from the paying sports of the university will increase the student body as a whole will be
brought into participation as well as concep tion of games. The more enthusiastic the students become in tennis and golf, the more interested they will be in those games that will allow them to enjoy their revenue for the maintenance of courts and links, which will be available not invi cting all of them.
President Eliot of Harvard, in teaching on sports in one of his addresses to treachers, stressed the importance of having an undergraduate could be indulged in after leaving the university, although their interest might be in football, basketball and rowing, which rarely would be followed up with a favorite sport with many up to mids.
die life, and with some even beyond that period. Goff, once regarded merely as an old man's game, now is one sport that begins in the high school period and continues with many others. It has its fairways, and it includes both races.
Therefore, needs to be expected of this departure at the University of Kansas. Time taken for sports is not wanted time when it is offered delicious food for them it is incorporated to both mind and body. Kansas City Times.
The great question is evocation is going to be settled pretty soon. Arkansas is going to have a referendum on it—Kenans City Star.
