In the meeting of the physical education direct
tors and coaches attending the Oklahoma Edu-
cation association convention in Oklahoma City
a movement was started for the inclusion in the
curricula of public schools of courses in sex and
social diseases According to those backing the
idea the courses should be included in grades as
low as the eighth and ninth
Students of this age may be too immature to
handle such subjects but a course such as the
one proposed should be required of all high school
graduates and should be included in the require-
ments of all colleges in the United States -
Ignorance is the greatest ally of thkevil of
social diseases and it is the duty of society to
teach its younger members of the perils which
await them if they are permitted to go ahead un-
informed A scientific explanation of how the diseases
are contracted and the nature of their effects
would do much toward retarding the spread and
gain public support for methods put into use for
the control of it
With subjects of this sort included in the schools
public attention would be directed strongly
enough in the direction of scientific prevention
and conscientious control of the plague
— Mary Margaret Woodruff
Not Like Grandma
Mrs Dorothea Meagher state president of the
Deans of Women’s association believes that the
1938 college coed is not a newer edition of the
postwar flapper but is really an old-fashioned girl
like grandma but put up in a streamlined pack-
age In reality the modem college woman does not
remotely resemble grandmother What grand-
mother when she was 18 or 20 sat up half the
night in “bull sessions” discussing politics re-
ligion literature and how to get her man? How
many young women two generations ago ever
asserted their ideas on these subjects in class-
rooms or before audiences?
No young woman then even dreamed of study-
ing law medicine business or engineering If
she went to college she studied music and litera-
ture and home-making These were the only
fields open to her
She may have wanted to do other things but
fear of disapproval checked her The modem
college girl does not let convention interfere with
anything she wants to go into
Mrs Meagher is right in saying that the colleg-
ians of today possess a “seriousness and spiritual
integrity” but she is wrong if she really believes
that today's coed is like her grandmother

By CiUnn R Neglcy
rpHE fruits of the political tree are not always
sweet Too often it is forgotten that a
healthy tree may be attacked by equally healthy
worms and the labor of cultivation and tending
rendered negligible by parasitic sapping
The Guffey-Vinson bituminous coul ir s
sound piece of legislation conceived in necessity
cultivated by expert drafting and supported by
the industry which it proposes to regulate But
despite the efficiency and practicality of the legis-
lative act it now stands as one 'of the most dis-
appointing failures of new deal administration
The consumers’ counsel established by the act
has himself asked the courts to suspend the price
schedule established by the bituminous coal com-
mission a board of seven members appointed
by the president to administer this legislation
The rates as set by the commission appear so
manifestly unjust and disparate that little excuse
can he offered for the action other than that
according to its own interpretation of the statute
the commission has power to establish prices
without public hearing
npHUS in its very inception conies to grief one
of the most needed pieces of legislative
regulation enacted by the present congress As
might be- expected immediate advantage was
taken of this embarrassing situation by those
opposed to the original enactment Representa-
tive Barton of New York introduced a bill pro-
posing that the Guffey act itself be repealed Mr
Barton would cut down the tree and blast its
roots because the first harvest was full of worms
It would be more logical to suggest the blasting
of the board which accepted the duty of tending
the fruit to maturity Legislation is but half the
task of government and indeed the briefer less
arduous part of the work Administration is the
continuing expert attention to the implementa-
tion of the legislative principles in practice It
matters not how adequate nor efficient legisla-
tive activity may be if its acts are to be turned
over to incompetent administrators
" ' On the other hand the appointment of incom-
petent members on boards for the administra-
tion of important legislative acts reflects directly
upon the person in whom the power of such
appointment is vested It is too obvious to be
ignored that adequate implementation depends
upon expert administration In the selection
of the bituminous coal comqiission Roosevelt
betrayed the trust he -has so loudly proclaimed
to be his by consent of the people he played poli-
tician when a statesman was needed
IAkOM an objective point of view it seems rid-
: iculous that a government should spend its
energies in propagandizing and whipping an ex-
pertly drafted bill thru the legislative body and
then proceed immediately to vitiate that legisla-
tion by the appointment of inexpert administra-
tors Only two of the seven members of the coal
commission appointed by the president could
claim any degree of expertness in the administra-
tion of coal regulation No reason suggests itself
as sufficient to account for the appointment of the
remaining five persons except the excuse of poli-
tical debt and patronage It matters not which
side of the fruit the worm enters the whole is
soon rotlcn
If the labored endeavor of legislation is to be
subjected to incompetent and “political” admini-
stration then it is of little moment what congress
says or does Let congress keep this fact well in
mind as it debates the administrative reorganiza-
tion bill which has just been reported favorably
by the house committee Only by the provision
of means for assuring the appointment of expert
administrators can government avoid such de-
bacles as has been occasioned by the inadequacy
of the coal commission

(iurrmir Marlusd may have (lw
a preview of the title of his addrxa
here tonight when he declared
Tuesday that he would “deliver a
real speech on politics" at the young
democrats meeting
Marland the state- ciiicf cura-
tive will make h lecture to stu-
dents off the campus
Marland would leave the campus
In a stir should he come down to-
night and blast the hoard of regents’
no-politlcal speech ruling And be-
ing the governor he may not 'eef
so well about being banned from
the Fieldhouse or some other
school building ‘
The whole thing pats rrrriitraf
Blxzcll and the entire admln'stia
tlon in a precarious position It
would be rattier touchy to have the
task of telling the governor that lie
will have to campaign for the sen-
ate at an off-campus student shop
And members of the board of
regents how are you going to an-
swer to the lucky candidates who
get the governor and senate posts?
They may have tender skins and
like elephants fail to forget that
once— during the school year of
1337-’38 — they were prohibited from
using a campus building to en-
lighten tlie student body on the
“problems" of government
Let's see before the school year
is out Hubert L Bolen Jack Wal-
ton Leon C Phillips Governor
Marland and 'possibly W S Key
and Bill Murray will have come to
the campus to speak Surely one of
those men will be elected to office
In November
Listearni at the weekly Leagne
of Young Democrats' meeting may
not learn much government but
they will store up a lot of knowledge
about the candidates they act going
to have to choose from for public
offices next summer and fall
That is the principal reason why
the no-political speech ruling is bad
Whether any government is learned-
does not matter if the students can!

In addition to the regular dispensary

of 13054 hospital days Thus far
more than 1450 Wasserman tests tor

amount to a theoretical total of $2850
