Around Washington

WASHINGTON', D. C-Beside
being the capital of the nation.
Washington is a city of some 600.
000 residents, with many of the
same municipal problems found in
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York
and Chicago. But whereas those
litics have elective bodies of their
own to manage their affairs.
Washington is governed by con
gress, a group of men much more
concerned with the business of the
nation as a whole than they are
with the troubles of the capital.
The result is that Washington,
economically well off. has more
deaths occurring yearly of pre
ventable diseases, more crime,
more traffic accidents, and more
of a traffic problem than any city
of the same size in the country,
with the exception of one or two
cities whose industrial population
is largely unemployed, causing an
abnormal increase in disease
deaths and crime.
Poor Transit.
In addition it has an unbeliev
ably poor transit system, a tre
mendous housing shortage and
fabulously high rents, and its gas
and electric mtes yield unduly
high returns to the utilities.
These evils exist because the
government r u 1 e & Washington

Sunday.
Beta Theta buffet supper at
the chapter house.
PLEDGES, actives, and alumnae
members of Sigma Delta Tau were
entertained Saturday afternoon at
an informal lucheon at the Lincoln
hotel. Table decorations were car
ried out in the sorority colors, cafe
au lait and blue, and about 20 were
present at the affair. Florence
Smeerin was in charge of the ar
rangements. PLEDGES of Delta Zeta will
give a buffet supper for the active
chapter and their dates Sunday
evening. The evening will be spent
playing Monoply. Doris Kastman
is in charge of the affair and Mrs.
Eloise Tebbits will be the chap
eron. BILL Strong, S. A. K., was taken
by surprise at the VI Fht house
the other evening when he was
called before the chapter. Blind
folded and led into the dining-room
he was formally pledged. He Is
now sporting an 'extra-special"
pledge pin which he must wear
every night at dinner. We imagine
that there are many people who
would like to be in the Kosmct
show about now.
.
WE don't know whether it was
boredom, desire to do something
different, or just love of sport that
led Helen Klansburg, Theta pledge,
and Bill Bacon, A. T. O., to put
in an appearance at the bowling
alley Friday evening. It would
seem that they had good intentions
of attending the Prom, as evi
denced by their formal attire, but
where they wandered from the
straight and narrow, nobody
knows. . "Si'unny what spring
weather does to folks!
congress. Washington gets good
government one year and bad
government another year, or no
government at all, depending on
the amount of interest taken in
the district from time to time by
various members of the district
committee, or depending on the
individual attitude of members of
that committee. The citizens can
howl from January to January for
a decent appropriation to fight
tuberculosis and a single man on
the committee can defeat their
efforts by vigorous action. Rep
resentative Bianton of Texas, in
his dogfights with the local medi
cal authorities who are asking for
such an appropriation, is an exam
ple of an autocrat taking advan
tage of the politician's dream come
true a place you can run without
fear of being voted out. For no
Washingtonian can vote, locally
or nationally. He can only peti
tion. Need Muckraker.
What this city needs is a first
class muckraker, a Lincoln Stcf
fens, to once again go back to the
city's evils to the wherefore. Here
there is not the ticup between poli
tics and crime, indirectly made
possible by business. Here we have
government by representatives of
other parts of the country repre
sentatives nhsent from the city six
months in the year. Does the city
need a new courthouse, or a new
Jail ? Does it need a new hospital?
Should the pay of city employees
bo raised? Congress will decide
these matters when it geLs back
to town, and when after getting
back to town if it finds the time
to look into them. Steffens, when
he looked into the Washington set
up years ago showed that altho
run by congressmen, persons sup
posdly superior to city bosses,
Washington had as bad govern
ment as one could find in New
York under Croker of Tammany
Hall. Relatively speaking, keeping
in mind that city governments
have improved since those flam
boyant days, Washington is in the
same position as it van, maybe a
bit lower down, on the municipal
strings.
Just a Football.
And so, because Washington has
no votes, it is tossed around mer
rily from year to year by congress.
Whoever in congress wants to pay
attention and exert effort in re
gard to the city can do it great
good or immeasurable harm. All
sorts of things have tx-en and are
suggested by congressmen for the
district. A dry congressman pro
poses the district be made dry, by
recalling prohibition for the sole
benefit of Washington. Bianton
sticks in a rider to the district ap
propriations bill to the effect that
district teachers are not To teach
or advocate communism. If some
bigot appears in the house some
day and makes an impassioned de
mand that the sidewalks be taken
up at 9 o'clock every night the

SPRING FEVER
COMES AT LAST
With the Tht Mu spring party
last night successfully ushering
In the new season of romance and
gayety, campus fun seekers are
planning all manner of summer
recreations this week. Despite
the recent floods and decidedly
muddy ground, many ambitious
souls are planning picnics, horse
back rides, and various other out
door amusements. The primiti
vistic urge is decidedly being com
bined with the spring fever mania
this year. Everyone is wondering
when the park will open, and all
of the comely coeds are planning
new spring wardrobes to wear
when the big day arrives. "Moon
eyed" couples are becoming more
numerous and there is a decided
abundancy of vacant seats In aft
ernoon classrooms. Unless the
weather man fools us and brings
forth the proverbial March winds,
we feel safe to say that spring
has really come in earnest this
time.
