MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24. 1928 TALK IT UP The new plan for the selection of the university cheerleaders will succeed or fail in accord with the number who take part in the tryouts Tuesday night. If only men boosted by fraternities tryout, only fraternity men will be on the cheering staff and later in the year we will hear "knockers" who charge fraternity manipulation with being responsible for poor cheering. With sixteen men to be chosen, some of them from every class in the University, every student with ambition or ability to laud a lusty "Rock Chick" should unobligatedly say. If interest is not widespread and only a small group are concerned with the final selections, the system will open manipulation by small groups. When the candidate estate, dominance domination is merely certain to creep on at present constituted, the bill has several defects. Most of these can be overcome by widespread and immediate student interest. EVENTUALLY Governor Smith speaks to large audiences in Omaha, Oklahoma City and Denver. He waves a vote-getting hand to enthusiastic throngs in Wichita, Topola and other western cities Democratic leaders claim great gains in "enemy" territory. This is not a campaign of section against section, as has been the case in the past. It is the new urban America fighting the old rural America which has controlled since the days of the Virgin plenter-presidents. Governor Smith is the first great candidate to have made no claim to the hertitage of the soil. He makes an appeal as a son of the cities, and is acclaimed as such. The outcome of the election remains to be seen, but rural America should see the handwriting on the wall. The cities are growing and gaining. Smith in Omaha was not in enemy territory. The throngs which cheered his wildecranks were not Westerners alien to his political beliefs, but people of the cities who believed in him as one of their kind. His discussion of farm relief was probably of more importance over the radio, than to the audience which cheered it. The same is true in Wichita, Denver and perhaps even in Oklahoma City. WE'RE READY This is no time for an editorial on Thanksgiving. That is too far in the future. The time for comment on it should be, well, let's say about a week before Turkey day—no more. Yet, somehow, this crisp weather, the glorious fall of Fall in the air, the occasional sharp breeze, breezes, reminds us of Winter. There is feeling that the present unemployment of football teams is to be deplored, that they should be in action, thrilling, heart stirring action soon All of this makes us realize that there will be a Thanksgiving day this year with its roast toiwi and dressing, and its farewell football game and it isn't so awfully far away. Harry Thanksgiving! Harry football games! Come on parties, dances, hikes—all winter fun. We're serious when we say: "We're ready." Reporters are those keen young chaps who furnish the grammar for a great man's interview.—Battimore Sun. Yet celebrities fuss about being misquoted! THE FLORIDA DISASTER The Florida disaster seems harbor cough to the individual 500 miles from the scene, but the distant reader can hand picture the terrible suffer- ing and desolation there. More than a thousand people are dead. Many bodies are still lying in the water or under debris. As a result Florida is now fighting disease and well it should. At such a time we can draw a comparison between the present and fifty years ago in the manner of coping with such conditions. For one thing we would not then have had the Red Cross to assume this duty. Mediatic authorities and engineers did not know as much about saitation as they do now. We did not have nile pairs to scatter disinfectant from the sky. Vaccination was little known then. Science has provided the methods of minimizing the enormous tragedy. But money is needed to make the methods effective. That is our share and it is a duty which will be easily and willingly fulfilled by all America. LYING DORMANT A new little theater has just been completed in Fraser Hall which will afford players all the advantages of modern staging and lighting. Also, Professor Allen Crafton, of the dramatic department, has returned from a year in Europe. These two events should mark a new interest in good drama on the Hill. It would seem that both experienced and inexperienced players would hasten to take advantage of their opportunities. Not, only recently Professor Crafton called attention to the scarcity of players available for his productions. Perhaps an interest in dramatics is lying dormant somewhere. Among the large group of new students there must be some who aspire to be actor-critics or directors on the "legit" or in high schools or colleges. Perhaps they do not realize that any student in any department of the University had an opportunity to take part in dramatic work. Membership in the Dramatic club is obtained in open competition with no favor given the student affiliated with similar organizations. Kansas is a huge university and those interested in drama should make the most of the facilities offered by the "little theatre." Our Contemporaries HOOVER'S FARM PROGRAM As usual, Herbert Hoover shows his remarkable faculty for getting to the bottom of things when he tackles the problem of farm relief. He is definite, he sees the need. He sees the difficulties. He has a program. Like the good economic engineer he is, he has surveyed the job in all its aspects and he has drawn the blueprints. And like a man who loves his work, he somehow gets over the idea that he and no one else is the man to do it. Never has a presidential candidate stated a problem more clearly, analyzed it more carefully, and asserted more earnestly his determination to solve it, than has the Republican nominee in discussing agricultural relief in his speech of acceptance. "The most urgent economic problem today is in agriculture," he in his opening sentence on the subjects. "It must be solved if we are to bring prosperity and contentment to one-third of our people directly and to all of our people indirectly. We have pledged ourselves to find a solution. These are solemn pledges and they will be fulfilled by the Republican Party." Before dealing with remedies, he ingnoses the causes of the trouble. they are four in number—need of There will be a meeting of Pen and Scroll in the rest room of the Admiral's Office every Sunday evening, Saturday and Monday.

All Glee Club will meet at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 26, in Mavroin Hall. All old members and the newly elected members are asked to help. Mr. Hoover has no patience with the possible objections that the Federal government may have to advance some hundred of millions of capital without obligation on the individual farmer. "A nation which spends ninety billions a year can well afford an expenditure of a few hundred millions for a workable program that will give one-third of its population their fair share of the nation's property." - Mount Clemons, Mo., Monitor. MEN'S GLEE CLUB: No time will be host, Mr. Airover declares, in putting these various measures into effect, "The Republican Platform offers an affirmative program," and "needs only the detailed elaboration of legislation and appropriations to put it into force," he asserts.

An eastern paragrafer whose musings attract wide notice typed a squib recently the burden of which was that a immortalable shortage of 10,000 journals weeks later he was "called" by a reader who wrote in for one of the many jobs paying ten grand per annum. But the paragrafer was equal to his fellow writer's formula: "One of the best ways of locating a $10,000 job is to take one payee you $8,000 or $8,000 and then hire another payee you $10,000. If you are a $10,000 payee you surely must have favorably impressed someone with your ability. If you haven't succeeded in doing this I doubt that you worth $10,000." - Coffeeville Journal HOW TO LAND A $10,000 JOB What the Kansas Editors Say --people to like be "bun" because of its melodious sound but it does not turn out any better when it is called "hokum." -Hutchinson News. "BUNC" OR "HOKUM" Authorities on the English language are endearingly to find a definition and an origin for the word "bokum." They say it certainly supplies a long fable want in the language of the Bible. But it also serves the dictionary and the encyclopedia. As a matter of fact "houm" is merely an educated variation of the word "bune". The latter is in a contraction of boume, derived from the name of a southern congresman, Mr. Banconde of North Carolina. Heodyes' memory having nothing to do with the subject, whenever he had the privilege of the floor. So it came to him that the bounces were imprinted in Washington indescribable speeches which were absurd and pretentious but unimportant, applied to the president's laboratory. It was abbreviated into the word "bune" and used until some class students devised the word "houm". The definition of the word is easy. It means exactly the way it sounds. It can be applied to a good many public speeches and to such states as the possession of Governor Smith carrying Kansas and Mr. Hoover carrying Georgia.

Killing frost is not far away however, and most of them are now in the kitchen to take her centre in these depliant measures. - Emporir Ganze The wets see the hand-writing on the wall and they are preparing their alibi. Echoes of it have come in our car several times in recent days. THEIR ALIBI READY The anti-probationist wish that the liquor question could be put to a fair vote – fair in black italics. Too many other things such as farm relief prospectively, and reliance have modified the winners in this competition. It is hard to tell how much on the run issue. What the people want is a Fair Vote on Humor. Our notion is that the "breaks" have been about even for the wets and the drys in this campaign. It is true that a number of eastern Republican electors vote for Hoover this fall might vote wet if the poll were on limer alone. It is equally true that the South, which will be found in the Smith column, would vote over it. The exhibition if that were the only issue. These wets who pretend to believe that the United States would swiftly shandon prohibition if the matter were left unchecked rather careless in their corrupting. For one thing, they forget that the United States has a new alibia — Arkansas City Traveler. Campus Opinion --- Editor Daily Kansan: The sensation Governor Smith has invented in the West, by his unnatural sense of humor, is big personality and winning smile, is a big advantage, yet the manner in which he uses it to persuade Navy-Hanegen bill and equilibration open to controversy, is disappointing. Farmers and citizens of urban districts as well, have waited with anxiety, the trip of the Democrat nominee, to learn what he knowd about what relief methods the Democrats have to offer. Now Al Smith has come to the west and northwest to work on a highway and even though nearly the entire speech was easy to understand, the one section concerning the western border was presented in a hasty manner. Governor McMullen of Nebraska has interpreted Smith's speech to that the principal would equate the equivalent of the West with the East such. Many Kansas have thereforeallen in line with McMullen by Governor Smith's plan willfer a her. Nevertheless, things would be much easier, many farmers would be much better equipped to support and the attitude toward Smith would be much more favorable. Vague statements about important issues to be the fashion in political campaigns and this year's election are all bad news in new hopes in that direction—L. P.
