An unreason ing fear of death exists in everyone; the threat alone, of this penalty, serves to protect society from the lawless. Before the death penalty is dis carded some equally effective pun ishment must be devised. This is a question that cannot be answered in a moment. Twenty Years Ago At a stormy meeting it was decid ed that law classes would be allowed to enter teams in the interclass sports. Each class was represented by three men; the freshman law class had two representatives. The railroads offered a rate of four dollars to Kansas City for the Nebraska-Haskell game. The pros pects for a large cheering section at this game looked good as a re suit of the reduction in rates. More than a hundred and fifty men signed up for the new batal lion to be formed at the Ag College. Cadets from the University were in charge of the organization of the batallion.

The College Press A DEFINITE POLICY The Cornhusker circulation cam paign is the last one of the year according to the official schedule of drives. The close of that cam paign is the logical time for the dec laration of a definite policy on cam pus drives. The evils of the system of sorority competition will be only partially overcome by extending the sales staff so as to include non-sorority I students. Any effective system of) personal solicitation is likely to en croach upon the study time of number of students without guaran teeing them a satisfactory return. The Student Council is the gov erning body for campus drives, and will probably announce a ruling soon. .Now, before anything is den THE FLOWERS THAT BI.OOM. Columbia has been getting an im pressive amount of attention from the downtown papers. The New York Bulletin in its quaintly conservative way has delicately indicated certain breaches of good form on our part in "colonizing six hundred students on the Campus" with the intent to vote for somebody or other. Then comes The New York Times propounding interesting thesis that Columbia is a pastoral islet in a sea of brick, a snug hostelry where one may in tranquility unbutton onesen after dinner and drink off a lusty bumper of Lethe. Untroubled by unquiet politics, says the Times, the Columbia student "carries his laun dry through the streets in a news paper." The very barbers of the dis trict are innoculated with the pastor al siprit, and as they ply their art they ask in bucolic accents "how much longer one will be a Fresh man. (We feel, however, that the' quality of the accent has been mis construed.) The "restaurants" in the neighborhood, we are told, ex tend credit ad lib. (Q. and D. please take heed!) The whole district throbs with immanent rusticity. And this is Columbia to the fresh gaze o The Times. After pondering these two ac counts we conclude that it is mcrcif ui that the Gods denied us the gift to see ourselves as others see us. The optical embarrassment, we appre- ihend, would have been extreme. a jIIII!ll!lllillIIIII!!lillliIIH LEAVE OUl POCKCTOOOKS AT MOMB I'M TAKJKK5 MIMt I "All Aboard for I - Notre Dame" Next Friday The Popularity Contest CLLOSE NEXT WEDNESDAY EVENING 1 NOVEMBER 12 at 6 P.

Mexico has been making progress in overcoming its high per-; centage of illiteracy since Obregon came into power as president, news paper reports indicate. Schools are now being maintained by the govern ment and municipalities and attend ance at them is" compulsory. Revolutions have held the interest of the people for a decade and a half until the population is row largely illiterate. But the country has grown tired of civil war, Ameri cans returning from Mexico say, and the president elect, Calles, is a strong and able man who will carry on the progressive and educational work beron by Obregon. Conditions in Mexico and in other Central American countries and the South American nations are destined to be of great interest to American industry, and actual development of thef-e nations into capable states will provide a new field of service for professional graduates from this country. As the population of Mexico, for example, is educated, rijrhts of prop erty and persons of aliens will be more and more respected, until this new country will present enor mous opportunities of advancement for young men. i The result of the vote on the ques tion of whether or not the University of Nebraska would remain at its present campus or be moved to the Ag College campus was decisively in favor of its remaining at its present "location. Work on the enlargement rapid cf the campus began soon after. Magee's DEATH PENALTY A FAILURE : Capital punishment is a signal failure, is the opinion Warden Lewis E. Lawe of Sing Sing expressed in a recent public address. It in the most striking example, he said "of the many cares where the law holds a threat so severe it is seldom car ried Out. The Very e'ement that make it unenforceable are hjman i ones that can't be overcome. Thatj is why this form of punishment can ; never be any better." ! Warden Lawei calls capital pun ishment a failure and almost in the , same breath says it is unenforce able because of human elements. This is not a criticism of the effec tiveness of the extreme penalty, but of man's enforcement. The human elements which War-, den Lawe mentions exirt, however," and make capital punishment diffi-j cu;t ol effective application. Per-; haps the most outstanding of these 1 human elements are those based on ! prejudice. Prejudice appeared re-J centJy in the Leopold-Loeb case which was given national publicity. A lengthy trial was gone through in an effort to minimize the punsbment of the two wealthy young men who had confessed to murder. At about the same time a poor boy was sen tenced to die for complicity in the murder of a policeman, and largely on circumstantial evidence . The representatives ef the law in that case were not nearly so anxious to find out whether there were any ex tci taa ting circumstances. There are reasons for abolishing the death penalty, but reasons bated on difficulties of enforcement should adnJUed. On tba other hand, the death sentence was dona away with Notre Dame Contest Fraternity Standings 1 Kappa Sigma Takes the Ice Out of the Air! Takes the Bite Out of the Wind!
