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 STUDENT CAR OWNERS The announcement that an investi- gation of the scholarsh'p situation on the campus is now in progress recalls to- mind the letter which students re- ceived from President Burton asking for parental cooperation in reducing And on the Women's sheet, it says When is the girl who earthquake coming? assignment saw the i l Cal.

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. The. joke is on us, or rather thse of us who believed that the late war vas a war to end war, or a war to make the world safe for democracy. As time lends a new perspective, the status of the GREAT WORLD WAR changes considerably. It ceases to be a GREAT WAR; it is just a war, and the fundamentals of international re-I lations do not seem to have changed in the least.
