U. 68 TUESDAY, MARCH 3. 1925 "ON CENTER" The importance of being "on center" if one whims is to be successful, of concentrating one's forces at a single central point and letting them run naturally, was emphasized by Vivit. Murdock at convention yesterday. Probably the one thing which goes farthest toward making college work ineffective is the fact that a great many students are "off center" in their purpose. They find themselves in an environment where there are innumerable ways in which time may be spent, a great assortment of courses to be chosen from, and various activities which invite participation. The hit-and-miss method of parceling cut his time and selecting his studies may give the student four rather pleasant, sinner years—and then let him out of college at about the same place he entered. If, on the other hand, he can clearly analyze and formulate his purpose, and then let the energy of that purpose determine and flow into his activities and studies, he is forming a constructive building basis for which his college years are but the foundation. "HEAUS ACROSS THE SEA" Another movement which will tend to increase the bond that already exists between Great Britain and the United States has been started. The Commonwealth Fund has decided to grant fellowships to English graduate students which will be similar to the English Coil Rhodes scholarships that most American think of as one of the highest scholastic awards to be attained. The plan is to grant 20 fellowships annually to English graduate students. Those who receive the fellowships will have the privilege of selecting any one of the 25 universities which on Jan. 1, last were members of the Association of American Universities. The fellowship will approximate $3000 and will include three months travel in the United States. Not more than three may select the same university, in order that they may be scattered throughout the country and that get better acquainted with this nation. The plan is an excellent one and will reap its rewards in the future when these same students have become the leaders in their own country. Men such as these will have more intimate knowledge of the United States and will be better able to deal with any international difficulties which may arise. SOMETHING IS OUT OF G Americans are noted with the rest of the world as spend-thrills. But when a statement is made that the United States has spent $433,000,000 on aviation since 1920 Mr. American Citizen sits up, rubs his eyes, feels his pocket book and looks about for physical evidence of value received. Brigidier-General William Mitchell glibly贴着 the astounding figures off the tip of his tongue in one breath and in the next says that the United States has not received value for its money spent. He goes on to say that England, Japan, France and Italy are leading this country in aerial equipment. $16xy per cent of the government revenue is expended annually for past, present and future warfare. General Mitchell admitted that the United States was spending annually $50,000,000 for aviation. He points to the fact that a large part of this money is lost by having aviation divided between twenty governmental departments that want their own private air crafts. The General estimates that this mission should have 2000 planes available for protective purposes. One out of these planes should be under arms at all times. The remaining 2700 would be used for jets time work. But at all times these planes should be in condition to be specifically equipped for protective purposes. As an instance of the inadequacy of present aerial equipment the case of Mitchell Field, Long Island, is cited it is maintained by the way department to project New York City, yet it does not have an airplane there that could be used in battle with the modern equipment of any other of the leading nations. The only strong argument in opposition to Mitchell's plan is that it would only serve to complicate still farther an already overcomplicated system of administration. No matter what the outcome of the investigation may be, many Americans, when viewing the facts, find hard work remaining patient with the lack of system in the administration of their government. FORWARD OR BACKWARD? Successful transmission of a dozen photographs over 3000 miles of telephone wire from one machine in Washington, D. C., to New York, Chicago, and San Francisco simultaneously was the latest great feat of science. Surely with a record like this to the credit of mankind there can be no doubt as to the direction in which we are headed. In the same day's news, however, appears the story of how quickly the "death ray" invention of an Englishman, H. G. Matthews, attracted an American buyer. By his ingenuity man has recently expressed his better and more useful side through such marvels a radio and its allied inventions. And with the same genius and out of the same elements have been constructed the most diabolic means of warfare—the electrical "death ray." Even as a pebble dropped into a pool starts waves in all directions, so man his projected himself in all directions through his use of knowledge. Murray uses his own these wading waves remains fixed, at the actual state of man is much more permeant than some of his inventions would indicate. ANNOUNCEMENT A prize award will be made to the best editorial appearing in the Kansas columns for the four weeks beginning March 27. committee members, six adjudges, firm members and three students, all from outside the department of journalism will select the editorial for the award. Judgment will be based upon the intent, content matter, skill in preposition, and form of the constructive value to the campus. The constructive value will be interpreted as either arousing discussion and action in campus problems, or stimulating interest in wider affairs. The maximum that many people will do in the minimum they can get by with. Any campus opinion bearing on the editorials from day to day will be welcomed. Plain Tales From the Hill I have come to the conclusion that you are not thinking the Math instructor in despair, as she explained a geometry theorem to her class for the third time. The only response that the caustic remark gave was a tired surprise at the fact that she was only now finding that out. "Wait, I'll go to the library with you," said Student I to Student II. "I have a subject to look up tonight." On the way to said library, student I grabbed a book and waved girls. A few moments later at the door of Watson, Student I said, "I don't think I will win in ..." "How about that important subject that you put up?" "It's no, up here now," I think it is down at Bricks."
