MEN OF SACHEM
Last evening at duck five junior me had conferred upon them the venerable title of Sachem Chieftain. They have been selected as most worthy to carry on through their senior year those ideals which are most types of the University of Kansas spirit.
The basis of selection for men or Sachem is practically the same as that on which Rhodes scholars are chosen: leadership, character, scholarship, unselfish service and breadth of interest. These qualities are, as Chancellor Lindley expressed it, qualities which are recognized wherever quality is recognized.
The election of men who will embody the high ideals that set up is a most ardent task. Those who were initiated last evening, in the minds of the old members of Sachem, approach most closely those ideals. The Kansan extends its heartiest congratulations.
Sachem, then, is composed of those men students who applied themselves early and who in so applying them selves met with success. The effort made uselessly by them in the interest of a greater University have been recognized.
There are others who have worked but whose efforts have resulted in specialization in a limited field. There are those who because they enter activities late during their school career are technically ineligible to the honor.
The task of transmitting to others the spirit which they themselves have caught lies before them.
ON THE FIRST BALLOT
Present indications are that hot the Republican and the Democratic national convention will be short and snappy. Since the California primary last week, practically all of Al Smith's opposition have conceded his nomination.
On the Republican side, the same thing may be said about Herbert Hoover at the end of this week. The Secretary of Commerce has his chance to "new up" the G. O. P. nomination just as Smith has done on the other side. Tuesday the Indiana voters go to the polls, and if Hoover sweeps to victory his nomination is practically certain.
Hoover has little to lose in Indiana, but a great deal to gain. He is hacking an effective organization working for Senator Tom Watson, a favorite son. Two weeks ago he wouldn't have had a chance in the Hoosier state. Lately, a tremendous Hoover drive has been staged. Right now, the Washington doperst do not know what to think.
Optimistic backers claim 436 out of the 877 delegates already picked. A close check reveals that he really does have 359 delegates, with numerous delegations still to be picked from strong Hoover states.
Unless something unexpected has penn, it will take more balloons to pitch the vice-presidential nominee than it will to pick the president in the conventions at Kansas City and Houston. If both parties pick men on their first ballot, as from present indications seems likely, it will be a record.
"PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU
As the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra began that wonderful symphony by Brahms the other night, the listener was impressed with the peace and calm that breathes through every strain. How impossible it would be for an American in the rush and rear of our machine-ergy life, to write such a symphony of quiet and serenity and peace!
It is only natural that our music should be of the jazz type; one also can easily understand why much of our literature is superbial and not worth the paper it is written on. It is written for persons who are in a hurry to get some place, they do not know where, by persons who are themselves enveloped in the same mad ruth for excitement.
Our mechanized and artificial life in the United States of today is as far from the quiet life of Brahms in the German city of Hamburg as our planet from the moon. His life was for his music; with a few great exceptions the life of our American composers is for their music, yes, but only in so far as their house will bring their motor cars, fine houses, vacation trips, and all of the best of things that make up our civilization. To beate all these things of our material civilization would be like crying in the wilderness, and besides, what American would want to speak against the "comforts of life?" We are all shaped in the same mold of dollar standards. But we can at least wish that more of our American artists, and our American life, might find a little of that peace and quiet which contributed so much toward making Brahms the great artist that he was.
next time Will Rogers come through Kansas, we hope he travel by bicycle, and takes a good book at most of the homes and farm buildings throughout the state.
ANOTHER TRADITION GOES
HISTORY TRADITION GOES
The Pen-Hellenic council of the University of Missouri has voted to detain with "Hell Week." No more will the fraternity pledges of this school room the countryside at night counting windows in abandoned buildings, marking paving bricks, counting railroad ties, or in search of paddles or other things hidden by ingenuous upperclassmen to be brought in by the Hell-weekers.
The University of Kansas oblished Hell week this year, and perhaps it started a movement destined to be widespread. College traditions are being cast aside one by the old alumni, and long held dear, are fact disappearing.
Probably in all the universities and colleges, hell week will be the next one added to the scrap heap of worn out traditions; traditions that were once considered so inseparable a part of college life, but now have lost their appeal and have been discarded.

charge the consumer with disloyalty if he or she occasionally makes a purchase through the mails. Yet where quality, price and service are anything like equal, it is a poor citizen who does not give much of his patronage to home industries. Certainly it is a foolish and unthinking consumer who will listen to the blundishness of irresponsible strangers and outsiders with inferior goods to sell. It never does to say that any one form of merchandising is the best or only appropriate method. The local implement retailer, the chain store,

the responsible mail-order house and the manufacturer with local representatives who call open the house-wife, all have their place. The collector is, of course, a welcome visitor if his goods are of superior quality. But unfortunately some house-to-house caravanning is cheap imposition. Some caravanners are friends to begin with, and obtain entrance by misreprentation.

Cost of Education
Cost of public school operations has increased in nearly every city in the country, according to the report of the Federal Bureau of Education. Some commentaries mention that the observations is much the same as one reads in the old files of newspapers published during the time of the fight for free school systems and later when the government decided to be provided with free textbooks.
The truth is that the cost of education has been steadily advancing since the earliest, days of the Republic. This is true also of the cost of almost everything else. Then, too, a better brand—at least a more professional one—has been provided and more children take advantage of the opportunities for study.
We need not worry much about the cost of schools so long as the schools are performing their proper function. A country that can afford an automobile for every five inhabitants and which spends more for luxuries than it does for services, is not exempt in its school expenditures.
Education is always worth more than we pay for it—providing, of course, it is the type of education that can help students better living conditions for the ruck and file. The rich insupplier can well afford the best schools of educating poor boys and girls. But often, by unfair assessments, schools that educate cost too much.
Sad tales of sons were told by University of Washington men and women on the scholastic black list when they petitioned to be reinstated. This war was averaged many times and in many ways in these different petitions.

A deluge of failures in scholastic work swamped the registrar's office in Seattle. Six hundred and ninety-one flanked out, bringing the total of flanks for the year to about 1100. Then came the flood of letters to the governor.

Another petition says, "It took me an entire quarter to get used to things here, but now that I realize the grooming system I have to contend with, I am so confident that I many excesses offered in these petitions were too many outdoor activities; had taken the student's time to play and plan such play and no work was admitted in the case for failure in many cases.
When such excuses as these are offered by men and women supposed to be far enough along to go to college, they are often the same regulations be applied. There are too many in colleges today who are there for the pleasure realized from outside encouragement (meaning out of one's own pocket) to do is spend someone else's money and have nothing to show for it. It must be put up to the students when they overgrown boys and girls that are entering, but an institution of higher learning—an institution where success is best in the best order to receive it.

A Hackneyed Subject
We residents and near-residents of Chicago are becoming gradually used to accounting remarks about the metropolis with which we were institutionalized but economically. The managers and owners of law of Chicago's greatest hotel chain recently stated in conversation that being held away from Chicago because of its growing reputation for loveliness Timmill small town Kokomo being machine fire which squeezed the machine gun fire which they conceive of as constantly sweeping our city streets with devastating fire. But, even this finding failed to start a movement to reform crime criminology, in a recent report on the National Crime Commission, states that laxity of the law enforcing business has led to the situation of police officers being sure that the staff of them was property, wealth. This condition is made possible, says the expert, mainly because the courts have to so, failure on the part of the police to collect the most important data. "The average intelligence," and Doctor Robinson, is so low that officers expected of our forces." He went on to state that more than 25 per cent of them were of "idelibly inferior intelligence," and that much complains is being placed on punishment." There are, of course plenty of reasons. But the concrete result if laxity, at any doctor's we might expect the large business is bound to suffer if the condition is allowed to persist. Whether the finding that Chicago is an ideologically decent city is declaring, sounds silly or not, it is a fact and the time for encirclement in politics has long since ended.

Perhaps, the matter of grades are underestimated in the mind of the above business man, but nevertheless, he will be able to get a job can be amused in a summer's work. This applies especially to engineering students. One of the most important phases of an engineer's education is the apprenticeship or bourses.
