DEVELOPMENT IN INDIANA
Indiana is at last becoming aware of a condition of corrupt politics, more incredible, perhaps, because of the extent that such a condition can exist in a democracy without the knowledge of the public.
Mayor John L. Duvall of Indianaapolis has been found guilty by a jury in criminal court of charges of violating the corrupt practices act. The verdict calls for a fine of $1,000 and 30 days in jail. Mr. Duvall will be ineligible to hold public office for four years dating from the commission of the crime, according to the law.
This action comes near the climax of an awakening within that state concerning long corrupt political practices that started soon after the World war, reached their height in the regime dominated by the Ku Klux Klan organization of Indiana, and exposed by the insistent battering of the concerted press of the state. A newspaper editor of Vincennes, Thomas H. Aians, sensing a corrupt condition, began to investigate. He conducted the campaign at his own risk. Soon the editorial association of the state began to awaken and it was enlisted in the fight against the general corruption.
The charge to which Duvall was found guilty was that of having promised William H. Armitage, a local politician, the privilege of choosing two members of the board of public works and the city engineer. Armitage was to support Duvall at the polls and to pay him $10,000. His attorneys plan to file a motion for a new trial and if overruled, they are expected to appeal the decision. Further developments will probably be still more amazing.
Our news columns quote Prof. A. T. Walker as saying that the Rhodes scholar "must be an unmanned man, a citizen of the United States, and born between the dates Oct. 1, 1909, and Oct. 1, 1923." Professor Walker must be running a baby show.
LOST—ONE ORGANIZATION
Five months have elapsed since the World's Work revealed the existence of an atheists' club on our fair campus. Five months—and it is still sub-rosa.
According to the World's Work, the American Association for the Advancement of Atheism is rapidly spreading its influence to our institutions of higher learning. To prove this point, twenty colleges having atheists' clubs have been listed. Fifth on the list stands—yes, you guessed it—the University of Kansas. Shades of Bob Ingersoll Imagine an atheist on this man's campus. No, you needn't laugh, for this is serious; or at least it is to them.
The fact that the World's Work reports such an organization is proof that one does exist here. One no need try to deny that. Our only quarrel with the young atheists is that they do not make themselves more prominent upon the campus.
We realize, of course, that to them the fact that we still retain our belief in God is proof that we do not "think," and it is probably for that reason that they do not seek to convert us to atheism. But we should like to see at least one parade, or, better still, a couple of soap-box orators.
BEFORE SUICIDING
A recent press dispatch reports that a young Virginian narrowly escaped committing suicide by shooting himself through the left side then his heart was on the right side. We have never considered the matter from that particular angle before, having always thought anmatomy an aid rather than a hindrance to suicide, but we are wondering if this peculiar situation may not prove a menace to premature endings of life. Aside from that, it has changed our opinions considerably about Virginia. Always we have thought of Virginia as the home of blue smoke, blue blood, gallantry, and beautiful ladies. But the dispatche says the young man was twenty-two years old, and he had not learned his heart ans on the right side!
We rather suspect that Sir Walter Raleigh would assume a new position in his grave if he realized that the young gallants of Virginia now reach the age of twenty-two years before learning the location of their hearts. We are surprised that such a story was allowed to be sent from Virginia. Los Angeles, for instance, would have been more careful.
Editorial of the Day
THE THRILL HUNTERS
THE TIME.
Whatever place the year 1927 may take in history, no future chronicler of our times can fail to note that more than one hundred fifty thousand people contributed about $3,000,000 to see two men fight for something less than forty-five minutes. It will not only be an index of the prosperity of the period, but it will reveal to the historian how much the twentieth-century American was willing to pay a thrill. For of the throng which will attend tonight at Chicago the heavy-weight championship match between Tunney and Dempsey, very few want to see a scientific boxing contest. What they hope for is a knockout. The reason why last year's fight at Philadelphia between these two men, when the championship passed to Tunney, was unsatisfactory is simply that he won from Dempsey on points, whereas Dempsey won his great battles with his opponents stretched helpless or unconscious on the floor.
For their forty-five minutes or less in the ring, the fighters will divide $1,500,000. This sum will pass into history. The inevitable comparison of such rewards for physical process with those accruing to great teachers, to the miraculous scientists of the age, simply brings the analyst to a conclusion about public taste. This is the time in the life of America when no sum is too great to be paid for entertainment: Witness the salaries of motion-picture stars. When there is added to entertainment the impact of a thrill, the public is willing to let the payment mount to astronomical figures.—New York Times.

Signs of Much Interest on Latin Bulletin Board
ALPHA SIGMA NU;
There will be a very important meeting of the active members of Alpha Sigma Nu, physical education sercurity, Monday afternoon at 3:30 in the gymnasium. Ruth Martin, president.
The bulletin board of the Latin and Greek department presents an assortment of material which is of significant and practical interest. There is evidently a revival of the past in this way, proved by the varying matter of the posters, the pictures, illustrations and stories of which range from advertisements for funeral homes to the "Private Life of Troel" or as seen in the movies.
F. I. Carter
There is a large noster showing that the Latin word "sepiem," or seven, was the name of the Roman seventh month in the ancient calendar. September was derived from that word. There are advertisements of Pierce-Award cars illustrated by a Greek warrior throwing his speeck exemplifying the modern and therefore timely usage of suggestions and illustrations.

The stories of famed Greeks and Romans which of lata have been translated for the stage and screen, owe their partial success to a knowledge of manners on the board by pictures from the Sunday supplements of the daily newspapers. The travels of many prominent writers into Greece and the entwined Roman empire have been documented in the ancient lands and languages, as portrayed by clippings pasted on the Latin bulletin board.

Last year's men on the squad are: James Smith, Ralph Bum, Harold Reed, Renae Schroeder. New members are: R. C. Bird, Kenneth Scott, Eugene Gaston and Leroy Plimley. Several other teams are to report for the class tuesday.
