"IT'S THE TRUTH THAT HURTS"
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1922.
Representative Banton of Texas has set himself in the center of a whirl wind by his strenuous attack upon the alleged practices of graft and unnecessary expenditure in Congress.
"he validity of Blanton's accusation is yet to be tested. However, in reception that they were recorded by other members of Congress cannot help but bring to mind the old joke that "it's the truth that hurts." Congress is most certainly hurt. As a body the members of the House rose and began to hurl vituperation at Blanton. He, so they shouted from every corner of the assembly hall, is a reprobate, a liar, a theft, and a number of other things that could barely squeeze their way into the Congressional Record.
If Blanton is really raising by his own efforts an unjustified and offensive storm whose body is malice, then those who are attacked have chosen a very poor way to meet his attack. If the accusations that he has made, and has stated that he stands ready to prove are really false, then the logical course for the bemirmed members of Congress is to come to their defense, not with loud and offensive language, but with figures of expenditures offered as irreaffectable proof. Blanton may be the firebrand and the hot-head he has been called, but unless Congress makes a spacious change in its methods of defense, his accusations are going to be pretty generally believed by the reading public.
This Ohio mayor who advocates the arrest of parents who permit their children to remain on the streets after 8 o'clock had better go easy if he expects a re-election.
We have every evidence of the fact that spring is sure enough with us, Robin redbreasts; caneing parties; picture hats; loud ties; cherry blossoms; and mud—all bear witness. But most sinister of all indications is the prevalence of a malady peculiar to the season which goes by the name of spring fever.
SPRING—AND SCHOLARSHIP
With six short weeks of classroom work the cuts are fast piling up against who prefer to rehash the Battle of Lipton under some convenient tree. Some of us especially probationers, have started the second semester off with a grand rush and a frenzied attempt to make the profs think we mean business. And we find ourselves slipping because there are so many things to do besides studying for quizzes or writing them.
The average instructor is prone to pay particular attention to the student who is perceptually on the border line about to topple over on the wrong side. It never pays in the long run—this policy of just "getting by." If the authorities only understand the urge that strikes youth about this
time of year—but unfortunately, the authorities seem to be laboring under the inappreciation that students come to the university primarily to get an education.
About the only satisfactory solution would be for some of us guilty ones to buck us while the buckin's good.
Some of the cute little mustaches disappeared on the Hill after the election. Thursday. Wish elections came more often.
The idea of having a school of water works and sewage disposal at the University April 19, 20, and 21 is a good one. At this time general city problems and all phases of information concerning city sewer and water systems will be treated constructively by experienced engineers and scientists for the benefit of plant managers of the state. Invitations have already been sent to 'the superintendents of all水工作和 sewage disposal plants, and to mayors, city commissioners and councilmen of all the cities of Kansas.
K. U. SERVES AGAIN
This new "school" is to be in the form of lectures, followed by rounded discussions, at which the problems that the city official meets will be considered. K. U. laboratories will be utilized for scientific demonstrations. Expert information will be given by consulting engineers, and those in attendance will receive valuable advice from municipal authorities who have had much practical experience. With the proper application of the suggestions offered by men of training and knowledge, the three days ought to prove valuable to the Kansas managers.
Nothing is more vital to the public health of a city than the water and the preventive measures that must be undertaken by every town's health authority is the insurance of the parity of the water supply. So much stress and death is directly traceable to impure water that the purification of all the water used in cities prevents one of the most suspicious and promising fields of ; preventive endeavor. The list of water-borne diseases is very large, and every care should be taken to prevent city water supplies from becoming germ laden.
Just as pure water is necessary for public health so is an adequate method of sewage disposal essential for a city, if the inhabitants are to be protected from the diseases that breed prolifically in the wastes of the municipality. Primitive sewage disposal methods are out of the question today an every town that does not provide and compel sewer connection in every house is extremely backward in one important phase of public health activity.
So it can be seen that K. U's newest "school" has an important function to perform. It is a step with the times. It may mean a lower death rate for Kansas. Those three days may mean much to the whole state, and the University deserves credit for providing a means for getting information to city officials. Kansas leads again.
Students who eat at the Commons must remember that they are paying for educated education and educated appetites.
Lovers of fresh spring greens must have wandered about the campus the past few days with their mouths watering. Between foods the sun popped out for some twenty-four hours, materially assisting in the raising of a girlish dandelion crop.
So long as they stay yellow there is no particular harm done. But once let them go to seed and you have the problem multiplied by several hundred. We have a campus of which we feel justly proud. A few hours' work—hard work—would have removed the dandelion menace temporarily at least.
THEY'LL SOON BE WHITE TOPS
TOPS
The University authorities have a scheme for campus beautification which, if carried out, will put us well toward the head of the list among the colleges and universities of the country. But all the blue prints in the world will not remove the dandelions or convert soft mud into blue grass seed.

This Junior is learning to be a banker
You don't know where opportunity or inclination will lead you. This fact has a great deal to do with your work at college—not so much the things you learn as the way you learn them.
If you are putting in three hours a day in the electrical lab, don't be surprised twenty years later to find yourself promoting a public utility bond issue. Or if you start working on it and the on you will turn to manufacturing or advertising or law.
Don't think of education as a memory test in names and dates and definitions. That knowledge is important, but only as an incidental. Of far greater value is the habit of knowing the underlying laws, the basic principles which tie facts together.
The work of the pioneers in electrical experiment, at first glance confusing, is simplified once you realize that much of it hung upon a single chemical phenomenon, the action of the voltaic cell.
This ability to think straight, whether acquired in Engineering or Arts, is the biggest thing you can get at college. Its aid as a means to success applies equally to whatever work you take up—since mental processes are the same everywhere. It is the power which enables a mechanic to become sales manager, a lawyer to head a great industrial organization. Develop it, if you would be ready when your big opportunity comes.
Analyze your problems. Look for fundamentals. Learn to connect a law or an event with what went before and what comes after. Make your education a training in logical thinking.
Western Electric Company
The executives of this Company have been chosen from all branches of the organization. It doesn't make much difference where you learn to think straight, so longas you learn.
