KLEIN ALL "A" STUDENTS Thirty-six students were successful in maintaining an all "A" average during the second semester of the regular winter session of school which' recently closed, according to «a re- port given out by the recorder's of- flce. Congratulation and a great deal tion has increased. Ih isfight Governor Green charges that the time for reapportionment is long past due. Congress' indifferent attituide is a tflagfant violation of the Constitutiam. Inasmuch as the inter- ests of the smaller states are amply safeguarded through the provision that entitles them to two members in the Senate, it seems reasonable to expect the smaller states to lend their sup- port to reapportionment legislation' although some of them might suffer the loss of one or more representa- tives in the House of Representa- tives. The -state of Michigan faced a simi- lar situation in the matter of reappor- tionment when the legislature of 1919' failed to reapportion the state. After several unsuccessful fights, the legis- lature of 1925 finally passed the reap- portionment bill which entitled the more populous districts to their just representation. THE VICE PRESIDENCY With the call to order yesterday of the Democratic National convention, the interest of the nation now turns from the Republican spectacle recent- ly closed at Kansas City to the politi- cal jamtbouree at Houston. Although the question cf presidential nomina- tion is of major importance, paralleled perhaps. with the work of drafting a party platform, the selection of a nominee for vice president is also of pa a mount importance. The example set at the Kansas City convention in the selection of an able vice presiden- tial nominee is a safe one, and it is hoped that the delegates at. Houston f llow suit. At times political conventions have been prone to overlook the importance of the office of vice president. It has ,been regarded too frequently as a. grave yard for those aspiring to be- come president, and as such the office has not had the appeal to forward OASTED ROLL MY OLO KENTUCKY HOME 3% 2 A,.

And then there are those students who take time only to eat, sleep, and go to classes away from their study tables. They may be commended as being ambitious, but rather narrowly.1 They do not make the best of the opportunities which are afforded by the Uxndversity and its life to broaden themselves by contact with objective influences, people and activities. A full life at college is all that will ,add the polish, refinement, and ease of manner which is popularly known as "college breeding." It is the term given to an intangible something for which the college graduate is sup- posed to be respected because it in- eludes both academic and social knowledge, and it is something for which every student should strive. REAPPORTIONMENT Governor Green's fight before the - resolutions committee of the Republi- can national convention to include in the Republican platform a plank which favored the reapportionment of representatives in Congress is a com- mendable one. The Michigan gover- nor-has refused to remain quiet in his appeal to give each state of the union its equal and just representation in the lower house of Congress, and it is to be hoped that the next adminis- tration will render it's support to the reapportionment plant. The Constitution expressly states that "representatives shall be appor- tioned among the several states which may be included within this Union according to their respective num- bers." It further stipulates that re- apportionment shall take pliace every ten years to afford proper represen=- tation to those states whose popula- those of the Republican vice presiden- tial nominee the nation will have lit- tle t> fear in event grave misfortune should befall the winning presidential candidate. EDITORIAL COMMENT THRILL FICTION A statement made. recently by a Washington . newsdealer gives us pause. According to this vendor of all types of literature, sensational fiction and journalistic products, adventure and cheap fiction stories are the most popular with college students and ninety per cent of these are bought by co-eds. The Confession' and True Story type of magazine head the list of this cheap fiction. This assertion is rather difficult to understand and I one wonders whether it is universally true throughout colleges today. Certainly it is not unaccountable that the comparatively uneducated and uncritical, who have been exposed to nothing better and could not appre- ciate it if they had the chance should thrive on a diet of two-bit sensationals (one might say "sensuals" without deviating from the truth). Nor is it impossible that college students should taste of all that the news stand has to offer. An experience of that sort is broadening. But it is hard to even guess why undergraduates who are at least supposed to be developing a taste in literature give steady patronage stories cast .from the same mold by uninspired and inferior writers. No explanation can be offered for such preference for thrill fiction, if the preference does exist. Nevertheless, one thought may be added. Speaking paradoxically, 0. O. McIuntyre, tells that he once saw a Countess scanning the pages of the "Police Gazette" through her lorgnette while her chauf- feur was absorbed in "The Atlantic Monthly." One half is always won- But this Rea fellow furnishes the silver lining to the black cloud cast by the bemoaned departure of Emtery, tke student's friend..

When a traffic cop there called, "Hey, Rea." he is reported to have retorted (note the pote), "Do' Re Mi, boy!" It is men like this that the Michigan camiipus ineeds Mr. Rea vehemently denies that he has any connection with the down town theater emporium that bears his name. "In fact," said Mr. Rea, "I am hear- tily in' disfavor with movies, since they afford pleasure for students. Al- though"--he shyly added with a blush -"I'm just nuts about Sue Carrol." * * * Confession "All students enrolled in the Summer Session are entitled to practically unlimited medical at- tention of any nature."
