A UNIVERSITY SERVICE
The work of the HILS' religious originations, especially the Y. M and W. Y. C. A., in accomodating new students and helping them adjust themselves to their changed environment, passes with little comment or notice—as do many worth while of forts. Whatever may be one's creed they cannot deny that the "K" books the employment service and the poca functions of the Y. M, fill a definitive need in the University's circle of activity.
- Folly great service is rendered by the Y, W, especially by means of the Big Sister movement and the social functions.
Leaders in these organizations bear an enormous strain of work at the beginning of the year and ask in return little more than the satisfaction of a good turn performed. They represent the best type of K. U. student.
"BRIBING BILL WHITE"
The distinguished and honored Federal Trade Commission, in the course of its several meetings' scrutiny of the affairs of the National Electric Light Association, yesterday came upon a check to William Allen White of Emporin for $50.00. The stipendsof fee, it was explained, had been paid for his address before the convention of the Association in May, 1926.
Press associations of the country took up the story principally because it contained the name of a national figure. Here and there a newspaper gave it a score head, probably because the fee seemed to indicate an effort to buy W. A.'s good will.
If there is really any reason for a score head upon such a story, it is the news that White's services can be bought for so little. The Associated Press pays him one dollar per word for his comments at political conventions and such. Surely the A. P. does not need to buy his good will. So if Mr. White said as much as 500 words to the nation's electric lighters, they got their money's worth. Incidentally, fellow editors say that W. A. counts "i," "ii," etc., at the dollar rate.
PARK ON THE SIDE DRIVES
—or take them back home, has been the past attitude of the University administration in regard to student-owned cars. The problem is less acute at K. U. than at wealthier universities but the fact that several visitors on the campus this week complained that they could find no place to park on the campus and were forced to leave their cars at the foot of the hill, shows that it is not absent.
Climbing Mt. Oread is not the proper form of entertainment of K. U. visitors and those who own cars begin parking them on the sidereivers and reserved parking places as early as possible although the regular staircase rules for the Hill are not in effect. In the meantime, the large number of cars on the Hill at present makes careful driving especially urgent during these first days of classes.
The announcement that University cheer leaders will hereafter be chosen by an appointive marker marks another step in the tendency to take important offices out of the direct election by students. The Jahayh staff was placed on an appointive basis last spring.
THE REWARD OF INCAP-ABILITY
The same trend is noticeable in state and national politics. We already have dozens of appointive bursees and commissions, some of them our state Board of Regents for example—as much as possible removed from the direct vote of the people
There are several reasons. Foremost is probably a growing distrust in the judgement of voters. A second possibility is the desire of those already in power to perpetuate control by establishing bureau appointivity within themselves. In the national field, and to a lesser extent on our campus, an urgent need for avoiding confusing long ballots further justifies the appointive method.
Possibly, experience of the last several years with some elective college officers justifies a change toward making them appointive, but the method of appointment should be noticed carefully by the student body. To have the best stamp of authority, the new measures should be submitted for majority approval by the referendum.

"THE COSTS OF THE STORMS"
The claim that American know no value save that of the dollar seem refuted by the news account of the Florida hurricane. If the dollar is supreme we might expect the headlines as "Storm destroys $20,000,000." "Hundreds of Buildings Wrecked" and so forth.
Instead we find "Storm Toll, 460." "Thousands homeless" and only minor paragraph devoted to the huge property loss. What is the reason? Surely thirty million sounds more sensational than four hundred. Are the newspapers altruistically handling the news stories with a view to ethics instead of news value?
"THE COSST OF THE STORMS"
Hardly, Americans, like all other people, live for life itself. Our desire for existence is so strong as to place us in sympathy with the same urge in others. The emotional news that four hundred Floridians have been robbed of life is of more interest than the destruction of all the property in Florida.
The broadminded attitude of University authorities is quite apparent in Dean Dyer's advice to Freshmen. The Dean of Men not only suggest ways of getting into trouble, but named snow checks, drinking and hoarding as three sure ways. This timely and original observation will no doubt be closely followed.
Newspaper headline writers have rendered Missouri Valley sport fans an inestimable service by heating the coaches to a name for the new "Big Six" conference. The mentors of valley teams met in Kansas City last week and adopted the long winded appellation "Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association." Say "M, V. I, A. A," over and over to yourself and then send all bouquets to valley sports writers who applied the title "Big Kid" early last spring.
Some of these Kansas editors are opposing Smith because he is a wet, others because he is from New York, but most of them are opposed because he is a Democrat.
Kansas editors are too busy this fall taking shots at Al Smith to have any time for the usual flood of wise-cracks about the boys who are starting to school on Mount Oread to learn the fraternity handshake and the proper flavor of lipstick to use.

SEVEN DAYS
Political tradition makes the overwhelming party victory in Maine an Augusture of a Republican year and an unfortunate defeat by an opponent such Herbert Hoover from the Border States and Dry South. Storms contribute to the failure of the transgender vote in Maine and question of German separations assumes increasing interest in discussions ending the Rhine occupation and Governor Smith's view on the war in Iraq. Bobby Jones攻克billion-dollar bidding agents take a hand in the investigation of graft charges and gang activities in Philadelphia and Charleston, where his campaign against the candidates of both parties. Bob Jones captures the United States amateur golf championship, and baseball races grow more intense as the major league season wanes, while the hostages of football are being whipled from the field.

There have been many instances of students prominent in athletes who also make excellent records in their sports, and the situation is simply unnatural in individual capacity or that there is no necessary conflict between athletics and the regular academic work remains to be established. The fact that the conflict exists, it would be desirable to have the question cleared up. For it relates both to popular confidence in the performance of a student and its service as a whole—Exchange.

What the truth is in both cases perhaps remains to be shown. In practice it learn that members of football and basketball teams are required to up the scholastic standards attained by other students. This is the implication of a survey for forward institutions of higher learning, for instance, in the advancement of Teaching. But while it is shown that members of athletic teams, in a majority of cases, must attend school, standing it is exhibited the results of the survey are inconclusive because no uniform system of grading was employed in the institutions. The situation is further complicated by the study of the question which will afford a reliable basis for conclusions. Other surveys, limited to a single group of schools, enable the same answer.

FOOTBALL AND GOOD GRADES
The view in rather widely held that students who are well prepared to the scholastic work of students. With some educators and perhaps with the general press the opinion prevails that these contexts between schools is out of proportion to their importance; and these contexts between schools are attention from the student who excels in scholarship and serves as a serious handicap upon the student who fails.
