WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1921.
LET THE POLLS SPEAK
Soon the campus will be bedecked with posters proclaiming the candidacy of students to different school offices. Secret meetings will be held and platforms will be drawn up. Political aspirants will begin soliciting votes and passing out the customary cards. All of this is typical of the political activity of the University.
Politics constitute one of the broadest fields of activity of school life. It represents principles that should interest every student, whatever his status may be. It embodies an all University interest.
However, the status of the political situation does not reveal this condition. Instead it is nearly the reverse. True enough, there is political activity but it is not of a representative nature. Every election sees the old guard out, directing the political destinies of the school. In other words, too few students give active attention to political matters on the Hill. The percentage of students actually voting is surprisingly low.
The coming election must bring forth a more representative interest. The policy of allowing a few to pilot the political voyage of the University is time worn and dangerous. Let the coming elections record a student body interested and striving for the advancement of the school.
Does this beakpast or school loyalty? Does this denote a unified, progressive student body? Instead of that it savors of a condition unhealthy in student affairs. The political activity of the school represents a duty to the students just as much as the political activity of the nation represents a duty to the citizens.
THAT BONUS BILL
The national soldiers' bonus bill has been laid upon the shelf until congress convenes again in the fall. For the soldiers' bonus bill seems to be considered as a gift to our heroic youth, and being a gift, there is no hurry about the giving.
The veterans of the American expeditionary force are reading of the actions of congress and wearing one-sided smiles. They feel elated because they are heroes—for they know they are, Yes, indeed! They have marched through living walls of humanity and heard themselves cheered. They have seen fat, head-baled profiteers disgirating American flags by waving them.
Many months ago, the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign War asked the congress of the United States for compensation. In other words, they asked for a square deal. Others had profitted and waxed rich at their expense while they had lost economically.
"Tax the millionaire 'war babies,' they said to congress.
Congress blandly replied "We can't
o that. You were saviors of the people and it is best that we tax the whole people. We, the people, owe you a debt of gratitude and we want to pay t."
Now, the ex-douhoghes are perplexed. They asked for compensation, being unable to figure out just why others' gains should be their loss. The men who spent months in the front lines shy from the word gratitude. Every French man and woman was full of gratitude unless they had something to sell. The German prisoners appeared to be full of gratitude, but their brothers along the Hindenburg line seemed to be full of other things.
So the ex-soldiers are dissatisfied,
"Watch me," says one. "If another war comes my way, I am going to pick out a bomb-proof job and buy Liberty Bonds."
They all talk about the same way, but very few of them mean what they say. If they are needed again, you will find them plooding along the shell trom reads, causing the army and hollering "When do we eat?"
JOURNALISM TOMORROW
Journalism is entering a new field, a field in which the newspaper is to be of greater value to the public and of more distinction to itself. Jason Rogers realized this fact when he offered a prize for the best article on "Journalism Tomorrow." The newspaper is to have a new role in the economic, social and literary world, a future which was dreamed of by some of the older journalists but is just being realized now.
It is interesting to notice, in relation to this, the greetings extended to the new Joseph Mediell School of Journalism at Northwestern University. These messages were from the editors of many large American and French newspapers. The outstanding sentiment of those men is given in the message of Stephane Lausanne, editor of Le Matten. "That which is most essential in journalism is the love, the worship of truth."
The aspiration now being expressed for a journalism higher than a more purveyance of fact is to reach its culmination in the journalism of the immediate future, and in the opinions of the day's leading journalists, this higher goal is to be reached through Franklin's old adage, "Honesty is the best policy."
THE PUBLIC WILL REIGNS
That concentrated public opinion has an inevitably sure, though often provokingly slow, effect upon the conduct of all publicly patronized institutions is shown once more in the resolution recently adapted by the national association of film producers barring the production of film 'aousing beady emotions, pandering to a salacious curiosity, or in any manner injurious to public welfare."
Censorship on moving picture films will always reflect, sooner or later, the censorship which the decent public itself puts upon them. Official censors are but the mouthpiece of the public, and will always uphold the standards of censorship demanded by it.
The important point is that public opinion must crystallize and concentrate its sentiments in order to secure its demands as quickly as possible. Lack of it has been the cause for the sometimes unexplainable perverseness with which the common judgment of a sensible public has been ignored? Once definitely organized, and put to play, the response is sure to come.
The World has just been rudely awakened from its short period of peace and security since the World War, by the rumble of artillery, the stamping of hoofs, and the gleam of bayonets and rifles, marching over the same ground that the victorious allies marched over after the Armistice.
ACROSS THE RHINE
The Allied forces, consisting of French, British and Belgian contingents, are again moving into German territory following the German refusal to live up to the reparation demands. After more than a year of fruitless, uncertain waiting, the Allied leaders have decided that force is necessary in dealing with a beaten, but recalcitrant and treacherous foe. A great deal may be said in supporting the German decision, but the truth remains that she signed the terms of the armistice and did not fulfill them, much less live up to the terms of the treaty. She may be temporarily unable to meet the Allied demands, but she has not been devastated and her buildings rised to the ground, True enough, her manhood has been sapped, but her farms and industries are still productive and intact and her women and children still have roofs to shelter them.
Germany, if allowed to go free, can probably recuperate up to pre-war strength within two decades. This is highly desirable from an altriustic
rapine and lust. Generations may have to bear the burdens of the nets of their ancestors, but it is only just to those who expended freely in man-bood and money to check the worldwide expansion of the empire which believed that "God also reigns, but after us," that they should be reimbursed by the defeated. This is not necessary; this is justice.
standpoint, but from the view of the Great God of Justice, she should return dollar for dollar what she ruined and caused to be expended in the series of war to stem her career of
The French polite, the English Tommy, and the soldat Belgique again strap their packs to their backs, mount their caissons, and travel back over the cobblestone roads of Germany and across the bridges over the Rhine toward the very heart of the German nation. They are the emissaries of a stern relentless justice, but of a righteous justice.
French heels are a thing of the past at low University where the co-eds have determined to fine girls wearing heels over an inch and a half in height.
On Other Hills
The University of Washington has started an European Relief Drive, with their goal set at $5,000.
A group of promoters has opened negotiations with an engineering firm in New York City to draw up plans for a stadium at the site of the Hudson River between 116th and 120th streets, granted to Columbia some time ago. This stadium would be run as a commercial enterprise, but, according to the Columbia Spectator, there is little interest in moving away from the commercial organization
DePauw's new athletic field, to be known as Blackstock Field, is to be available for use next fall.
The Unions won first prize, the Alpha Chi Omegas second and the Alpha Omega Pisch I third in the contest rule of Cornhuskers songbook author of Nebraska. Organized women in houses competed in the contest.
Governor Kendall of Iowa has recently appointed two women to the state board of education, the first women to ever serve in that capacity in the state, according to the Iowa State Student.
The appropriation bill for the University of Missouri as it finally appeared before the house in the Missouri legislature carried a total of $2,651,100. This was an increase of $212,100 over the bill as first planned.
UNIVERSITY SALARY BUDGET
In raising the salary budget of the Agricultural College the House committee shows a sense of the situation, but what about the University? Its enrollment is 66 per cent greater than that of any other higher institutions. It must look to the state alone for its support, while the college receives aid 'rom federal appropriations.
It is impossible for the University to maintain a high grade institution on present salary budgets, for reasons entirely beyond its control.
The market has improved for the teacher, therefore, in two ways. There are relatively fewer teachers to pupils enter the colleges, and there is relatively a larger budget with which to bid for them in the market.
There is no prejudicial rivalry between the institutions. They are trying to help each other.
The logical and inevitable economic consequence of this changing relation was that about 12 or 14 years ago colleges began to feel it and not long before they began to advance somewhat. Since 1914 has been a substantial advance.
Kansas must either offer teachers a living wage according to their market worth, or skimp to a third-rate institution, out of the running. This state is perhaps the wealthiest in the middle west. It can hardly afford to let it United States have a burden of salaries adequate to obtain and hold the services of teachers of first-class ability—Topeka Daily Capital.
some to many colleges and universities from private benefactors and others from the Rockefeller, Carnegie and other foundations. When Henry C. Frick died it was found that he had been an academic at college. Large gifts came out of the estate of Russell Sage in the last year, at the death of Mrs. Sage. A Yale graduate said to have accumulated the only great fortune ever made out of his life, he donated his college 20 million dollars. The Harvard endowment campaign raised 12 millions. Hundreds of colleges and universities have raised hundreds of millions of dollars by intensives ennemen on campus, such as alumni and thru legacies.

Mental Lapses
Salary for college teachers up b the highest grade during the last 2 years has been so out of ratio that a student's scientific work for business that men were no going to teaching in numbers t meet the demand. Student enrollments were rapidly increasing and the college offered students the college nto teaching was declining.
Meantime the universities over the country have conducted strenuous endowment campaigns; great gifts have
