Wnlnot Morphynboro 35 838 SINU PROBE SEEMS MANDATORY On Monday the Illinois Normal School Board, ruling body for Southern Illinois Normal University "iyid other normal schools of the state, is scheduled to meet. At the top of its agenda should be the request of Southern -Alumni directors for an investigation into the "adverse publicity" surrounding the present administration of SINU. In view of the developments of recent weeks, emanating from the prolonged word-of-mouth rumors which have spread throughout Illinois regarding Southern Illinois' seat of higher education, we can't imagine the State Board ignoring the alumni request for an investigation of the situation which has caused a tempest among students, faculty, lay people and educators in Egypt. Dr. Chester F.

Lay, president of SINU, in a recent statement, said 'that the Normal School Board is the legally constituted body set up to hear, weigh and act on complaints pertaining to Southern. With that we agree, basically. If the rumors which have circulated have any foundation, an investigation of the administration will not be pleasant. It will not be pleasant for those who will be called on to testify in the investigation, particularly faculty members. But we firmly- believe it will have a healthy effect on the whole picture.

To insure an impartial inciulry, the State Normal Board should select an investigating body from among the alumni of the university, the IEA, its own board possibly representatives of the townspeople. Those who testify before the committee should be required to tell what they may know with the assurance that their testimony will not jeopardize their careers, whether they be faculty or non-faculty witnesses. The reasons we suggest a committee partly made up non-board members are these: The State Normal Board selected Dr. Lay from among some 13 or 14 applicants for the presidency. The members of that board now have their judgment challenged, and that no one likes.

For the benefit of the board members, if the judgment of the board is to be uphold, should be upheld by persons not members of the board. For the benefit of the school, there should bo non-board persons included in the investigating body. After all the school belongs to the people, not to the board, and the people should bo apprised of conditions as found by an impartial group. For the benefit of Dr. board persons should sit on the investigating board, for only in that way can any vindication or condemnation of the president's regime be declared fair and impartial.

an impartial board finds that the rumors and "adverse publicity" arc without foundation, then the public; will, we believe, be more than willing to quash the rumor- mongering and get behind SINU's president. We feel, us do many private citizens, that SINU will be only as strong as the man who guides Its destinies. Who that person is we care not. The public will measure Ills worth by the job ho docs for KlNU and Southern Illinois. BLOOD MONEY SHANGHAI, Nov.

It is believed a little maneuvering might obtain the materials necessary at small cost.

Hunters are being warned that while -game is the property of the state, landowners have first civilian claim to that part of it 'that feeds and shelters on their land' Hence it is not only the right thing to do for tha hunter to ask permission to hunt or cross the farmer's land, but a vital need If organized sportsmen are to retain landowners' respect and confidence. It is claimed that one unprincipled hunter can do the sportsmens' club harm than fifty new members can do it good. Some hunters are offering a share of their game, for shotgun shells. The usual terms of barter are for the man -who does not have time to go hunting, or does not 'know how to hunt, to provide the hunter with a 'box or two of shells for a given num-ber of clwclch The' lirinter thus is put off- his honor to -deliver, and the four-square hunter does.

As for vests with double-breasted suits, there isn't much chance soon of those, either, no matter what the good old civilian production administration decides. It takes twice as much rayon to make Lhe back of a vest as it does to Ine a coat. So no vests. Some manufacturers even are talking about not even making vests to go with single-breasted coats. Straight From Feed Box This information conies from no mere handout.

I have gone to the chairman of the style committee, Gerald D. Grosner, who also runs one of Washington's leading haberdasheries. The clothing merchants, he says, arc beginning' to see light, but they still aren't out of the woods. They're worried about pants. They're worried about vests.

But what they're really worried about is bigger price tags, "All retailers dread rising prices," Chairman Grosner said. "You can lose in 30 days In inventories the profits you've made in two years. I know. I did just that in 1920. In 30 days the prices of men's clothing dropped 30 per cent.

"So now whenever there is another boost in prices, the retailer Mister Breger "1 "We'd like a five-room the living room MUST fit this much this 'No' all day long, lie's likely to grow pretty tired of it and forget the graceful part." One-pants suits and overcoats are arriving in. slightly tetter assortment than before'. So are shirts. Shoes haven't gone up too much yet and the retailers are keeping tlieir fingers crossed. The necktie crisis (did you know that, America's shops almost ran out of same last spring?) has passed.

If a haberdasher looks hard enough, Grosner indicated, ho can say that thing's are looking up. Another six months, he added, and he believes lie and associates can give the customers about what they want at prices they can -afford to pay. He hopes, Happy day.

Patent Office ces, imaginable and unimagin- are being retailed as facts, sensational string of colored predictions is 'being hung up on the air ibands, picturing the resignation of Secretary Byrnes and the overthrow of American policy at home. These gaudy suggestions come mostly from the local leftist news purveyors who are suffering either from melancholia over their election repudiation or their customary over-indulgence in prophecy, indeed this state of affairs has -become so severe in the radio 'business that one commentator mentioned his fellow radio prophet by name and said if the prophet could go crazy -with a microphone ly for a 'big stipend, the list of prophets "would be enlarged.

When. Mr. Byrnes heard he was to rasign January 1 because of his health, he smiled and said he had yet.been unable to find any physician who would recommend that he quit his job. The truth is Mr. Byrnes is the only man alive whose health has actually been improved by arguing -with the Russians.

Change Possibility Remote Tlie chances of change in foreign policy, from such causes as are advertised, are too remote to considered. They were exaggerated first by some Democratic orators in the campaign, and these exaggerations are now coming home to roost. Why they even managed to scare the British, and; persuaded such a supposedly sen-' sible journal as the London Econ- omist''to mourn heavily about tariff and trade prospects. The Republican party is 'being represented by the unthinking as an ogre represented by the Smoot- i Hawley high tariff law. This in it- self is grotesque exaggeration.

A Republican president signed that law unwillingly, issuing a public statement, against it. The unfairly, high rates wore d.ue to a deal made -secretly in the senate 'between industrial senators and the farm -bloc to override Hoover, who -was moderate in the matter, and they override 'UJm. None of the- -samtr -nvents of that history (which is now being falsified) is today present. The problems of international trade have grown so far out of the tariff question into -the realm of money valuations, treasury-controlled. exchange, barter deals, exclusive froeign trade treaties, as to make tariffs a secondary if not minor factor in trade.

GOP Tariff Policy If you do not understand thsse matters intimately (few claim to) then all can at least see that the theory of the Republican tariff was to keep prices up, whereas today prices are too high. Also the philosophy of the Republican tariff act of 25 years ago was one of isolation, to build up American industry by its'high prices against foreign competition, whereas today all the Republicans are leaders a world foreign policy in an atomic era, Tlie tariff ques- tioit has thus become almost inconsequential in all actual and political. All the Republican leaders are actually taMting about planning developments which will make things work better, while the leftists (including the communists and also the British in this instance), are trying to hang a stale 20-year old wreath on their heads after tlieir victory. The only foreign policy changes therefore, are aipt to he of second- ary importance. More, vital and real is prospect that Senator ROAD WORK PROGRESSES IN COUNTY; SOME SOFT PLACES CAUSING DELAY County Highway Superintendent arl Worth en announced today that Carl Worthen announced today that farm-to-highway road sectors in Somerset and Levan townships may be'completed at the'end of this week, weather permitting.

Sand Ridge and Fountain Bluff are next in truckers are hauling rock into the Makanda road sector. The said expected rocking work will be under way in Bradley, Ora and Murphysboro townships shortly, and that rock will begin arriving for the Murphysboro sector this week-end. It was explained that while the work generally is progressing satisfactorily, some of the roadbeds are soft and cause some delay. Vaiidenberg will be given, increasing importance in the top councils with Byrnes, because the Michigan will now be chairman" of the foreign relations committee. You mil liave something like genuine party unity prospects at the top, not an invited social cooperation, but a prospect of actual results from negotiations of two forces with Yet not even the personnel of councilors will change to any significant extent.

Apparently then no one -wants isolation, and no one wants a high tariff wall. The leftists who -want to norse- the people -with false notions for voting Republican are apparently influencing the radio commentators with obsolete ideas. 8 5 A 2 5 3 7 8 'E 4 6 4 i. 8 3 4 0 6 A 3 4 6 5 4 7 5 8 5 2 8 2 8 2 A 0 3 .7 4 ti 7 4 7 A 8 7 3 3 8 2 3 ti 3 8- I 2- I I 2 O' 8 5 4 I 6 I 4 8 3 4 7 5 7 3 6 7 2 2 fa 7 4 8 5 A 4 6 3 5 2 4 6 3 5 4 6 5 6 A 3 7 ERE is a pleasant little game that will give you a message every day.
