Hammer WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1928 Night Editor-ROBERT E. FINCH FARMERS AS BUSINESS MEN Cheaper and more efficient distri- bution of agricultural products has long been advanced as the cure-all for the present ills of the American farmer, but the problem of applying a measure to that end has stumped all of the plotters and planners from Congress on up. In a current issue of a magazine the Secretary of Agri- culture, William M. Jardine, urged that the methods of big business would ease the spot that hurts if they were properly applied. It can hardly be generally charged that the middlemen have been extort- ing more than their due as the farm- er's products passed through their hands. They have been making a fair profit, but at the same time they have been in far too great a number for efficiency. The dollar paid by the consumer has always shown too great a margin over that received by the farmer himself, and in consequence both the market and the buying power have been. limited. Secretary Jardine's suggestion would seem to be a wise one. He is an advocate of big business methods only under the condition that the farmer enters in as a unit, and he would countenance no plan whereby corporate big business would be extended into agriculture as a whole. No relief would be af- forded in the latter instance. It is clear that for his own future safety the farmer must control price-deter- mining factors.f Every man believes in freedom of speech until somone else starts toj criticize his work or accomplishments. The annual freshman cane spree and rope tying contests are nothing compared with the annual June rush of the seniors to get jobs. The most disillusioned graduate is the one who has already held down a job before coming to the University. He is the only one "not going to make a million dollars in ten years." It's a poor state that cannot name at least one favorite son candidate for the Republican nomination. The reason why the "confession" magazines have turned from sex stories is easy. They haven't been selling so well lately. CAMPUS OPINION Annonymous communications will be disregarded. The names of communi- cants will, however, be regarded as confidential upon request.

JANET r. oV, 9 EUROPEAN UNIONS Since the World war left many sec tions of the world isolated after par titions and boundary changes, one o the biggest problems with which th ]League of Nations has had to concert itself is they matter of bringing thes sections into accord and of protectinf their union and their safety witl treaties and agreements. Composes of small states, as so many of thes( sections are, and separated from th proper protection and isolation whict is accorded by nature to more for tunately located places, it has beel necessary to band these groups to gether and to provide for them somE common defense ands some common aim that kept them together and di rected their ideals and actions. The most important of these groupQ with which the League has been con- cerned is the Locarno group. Includ- ing as it does the important coun- tries of Hungary, Austria, and Ru- mania, much attention must be given to it and the greatest care must be exercised in the matter to prevent minor intrigues and injustices which might lead to war. The former Locarno treaty made a long step in the right direction. But now, in the estimation of Eduard Benes, chairman of the League com- mittee, events warrant the establish- ment of a new Locarno division, and the formulation of new provisions for the protection and the safety of this important area. The proposal pro- vides for the entrance of Hungary, Rumania, Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia into the union and is a strategic move which will bind the most important of these countries together, will give the smaller the benefit of friendship and the guidance of the larger, and will remove Austria from all prospects of being absorbed by the Reich. It is in this work of world partition, and the adjustment of the regions to their proper companions and activi- ties that the League has to date proved its worth, and it seems to be the future work of the League until the division of the world is accomp- lished systematically as far as is pos- sible.

Fromt e my experience and from the discus- h sions I have heard, I believe that the - people proposing the University col- n lege would do the student body a good - service and at the same time clear e up a number of mistaken ideas if they n would endeavor to make the student body more familiar with the aims and ends of the University college. s Statistics have been gathered which show that about 10 per cent of the graduates of the engineering schools - continue to make their living in the - engineering profession five years after graduation. If something can be done to eliminate these apparent mis- directed educational efforts there will I certainly be a great gain to the na- tion. I do not see any definite effort toward this end under the present system. As I understand it, one of the aims of the University college is to help the student discover his po- tentialities and to acquaint him with the various needs of life so that he I may choose more intelligently what shall be his life work. This may mean that the engineer- ing course will have to be lengthened and thereby cut down the enrollment. However, if those who do graduate, though fewer in number, are more certain that they are to make actual use of their training, they shall be more fitted to take positions in our; complicated civilization than the 90 per cent who leave the profession after five years. It is a common saying that the engineer is nothing more than a tool in the hands of other people. I be-I lieve that some effort should be made to give him some viewpoints as to his relation to our present society and his place in it which will enable him! to act as a constructive force in life and not to fill the position of a mere pawn.
