EDITORIAL COMMENT
Student Finances
(The Daily Illini)
Erratic financial operations of stu- 1
dent enterprises have come to an end
through the Council of Administration
in placing the control of these finances
in the hands of the University bursar.
Students spend thousands of dollars
every year on their dances and other;
entertainments. The affairs have
grown so multifarious and complex
that an expert supervision has be-
come necessary, and the council coin-
mittee on student activities recom-
mended that the bursar be given
control.
The bursar's office, which oversees
the payment of millions yearly from
the funds of the University, is natur-
ally the agency best suited to the task.
Under the supervision of the trained
clerks and accounts in the University
business office, such loose financial
operations as have been revealed in
the past will be possible no longer.
We trust that the supervision that is
to be exercised by the bursar's office
will be more than a perfunctory audit1
and elimination of illegal payments
from' funds. Really exacting and
searching audits, it is to be regreted,
will often be necessary. There have
been rumors and revelations of shady
dealing in class and campus affairs
in the not very distant past which
would hardly pass in daylight.
Supervision of these accounts by
members of the bursar's staff would
eliminate all dishonesty, but it should
do more than this. The amount of
money wasted in student enterprises
of various sorts far exceeds the
amount lost through dishonesty. It
is in eliminating this waste and in-
effic'ency that the business office can
do its greatest service.
The : University is to receive two
per cent of all receipts in return for
handling the finances of student af-
fairs.. That should be sufficient to pay
for more than perfunctory attention.
It is only by exercising strict and in
telligent supervis'on that the Univer-
sity employees assigned to the work
can give to the activities the full
measure of success that, should come
out off the plan.

THE OKLAHOMA COMPLEX
In openly declaring war against the
Ku Klux Klan, Governor J. C. Wal-
ton, of Oklahoma, is the first big pub-'
lie official who has officially taken}
cognizance of an issue which is rap-
idly assuming great national import-,
ance. And for hisx methods in dealing
with this problem he has received
severe censure from botl Anti- and
Pro-Klan factions.
There is no doubt that Governor
Walton has taken an extremely high-
handed attitude, and has issued ord-
ers the constitutionality of which is
very doubtful. His recent act, for in-
stance, in forbidding the Oklahoma
legislature to convene -for the purpose
of impeaching him smacks strongly
of the rather tyrannical tactics oc-1
casionally employed by the earlier
English kings.j
The issue reduces to a question as
to which-the Klan's or Governor
Walton's rule is the greater evil. Ac-
cording to Governor Walton his only,
reason for refusing the session of the
Oklahoma legislature is his belief that
the body will express in his impeach-
ment, not the will of the people of
the state of Oklahoma, but the will of
the Klan. He declares that the legis-
lature is overwhelming Klan in sym-
pathy. If this is so then there is some

Berlin yields and the involved and

Economic readjustment and a return
to normalcy can come through an im-

closing many an important commer-

exchange of men and money which
continental Europe requires for a re-
turn to prosperity.

cond:tionally end ther weaponless and
moral fight against the occupation of
their economic stronghold, the Ruhr.
The outstanding feature of the Eu-
ropean situation, however, is the ab-
solute and total failure of the League
of Nations. The League failed to
function in the three-cornered Ruhr
fight between Yrance, Germany and
IGreat Britain and more recently it
likewise failed to take a firm and de -
c'sive step in the handling of the
Greco-Italian imbroglio. There can
now be no reasonable doubt that the
league cannot function, as it was sup-
posed by its chief proponents to func-
tion, in time of great international
stress. The reason is simle and ap-
parent. The league is built on the
theory and on a hope for the preven-
tion of war, which is generally des'red
by great masses of people every-
where. But nations, like individuals,
are not inclined to consider the bene-
fits of peace where self-interest is at
stake. Where self-interest predom-
inates cool heads are scarce and the
league may give counsel, but it is
powerless to enforce a mandate as
Mussolini has demonstrated.
