The membership campaign of the
Missouri Student-Alumni Union will
begin next Saturday. Fifty voluntary
memberships have been received at
the Office of the secretary. Henry H.
Kinyon. An effort will be made to
obtain every student in the University
as a member. d. J. Oven. vice-presi-
dent of the Union, will direct the
campaign. He will be assisted by the
board of directors and three repre-
sentatives from each division.
Il feel that every student in the
University" Mr.. Kinyon said today.
will realize just what the Missouri
Union is to mean to him and the
alumni The students support will
be an incentive to the alumni to get
behind the movement. 1t is the big
gest movement ever undertaken by
the student body and the alumni and
if successful. as it undoubtedly will
be, il means greater University of
Missouri"
Mr.. KinyOn has received a letter
from Homer L. Heath, secretary of
the Michigan Union, commencing the
Missouri Union upon its beginning,

UNION WILL ASK
FOR FIRST MEMBERS FRIDAY

saying that he believes Missouri has
made a successful start and that the
Union Building will be obtained in a
shorter time than the one at Michigan.
The ground for the Michigan Union
Building. which is to cost s750,000,
will be broken soon, according to Mr.
Kinyon. The union now has 100000
in contributions and soon expects to
have the million dollars for which it
is striving The union. he says, is
most representative, as the contribu-
tions are those of more than 10000
subscribers.
We are planning a much smaller
campaign here" Mr.. Kinyon said,
for we are placing S250.000 as our
goal Once the movement is started
it will undoubtedly be accomplished
in less than the two years that it has
taken the Michigan Union. The alumni
are beginning to make inquiries con-
cerning the Union now, and our cam
paign has not yet begun"
Plans are being made for formal
opening of the building on Nofember
4, Homecoming Day. when the Tigers
will play the University of Texas

The Division Spirit Dies.

Editor of the Missourian: There
was a time in the history of the Uni
versity when the spirit of division
oyershadowed that of the spirit of the
University. The students were loyal
first to the school or college in which
they were entered and second to their
institution. At the meeting last Fri
day night the spirit met its last blow
and fell. Not yell nor an indication
of the division spirit was given.
The University is arriving through
its student body to position OF
prominence. The students are work.
ing for their alma mater. Everything
is forgotten in this one aim.
The Student-Alumni Union is a con-
crete expression of the growth OF. the
unified Missouri spirit. The abolition
of hazing is another of its indications.
Student politics is slowly going to-
ward the selection of the man instead
of the department. Missouri is gain
ing that spirit which has made famous
many of the older schools of the East.
II is an indication of the passing of
he institution into higher fields.-P.

NONPARTISAN CITY GOVERNMENT

In Iowa a form of city government
permits little partisan rule Party
primaries for city Offices have been
abolished. Instead, names are placed
on the primary ballot by petition re-
gardless of parties. The two leading
candidates for mayor and the eight
leading candidates for commission
men are then placed on the regular
ballot.
Parties may concentrate, but party
states" are rule dout. By this form
OF commission government all voters
vote directly in every election and at
tention is focused upon only two can
didates for each Office. The public
may initiate ordinances and ordi-
nances passed by the commission may
be referred to the public.
Complaints in council meetings in
Columbia might get better results if
party lines were broken down and if
ordinances were initiated by or re-
ferred to the voters complaining. Ger
tainly specialized commission mem
bers would mean efficient and prompt
remedy or prevention.

GALyESTON'S CITY GOVERNMENT

Galveston, Texas, is the home of
commission government Sixteen
years of practice have almost perfect
ed the plans for local needs.
The administration is in four de-
partments: police and fire. streets
and public property, water works and
sewrage, and finance aud revenue.
Four commissioners, elected at large,
apportion the departments among
themselves for specialized administra-
ton. The mayor presides over all !;
the body of five constitute the board
of aldermen and executives for all
city affairs and avoid all committee
ramifications.
The Galveston plan centralizes
power and responsibility in a few
capable men whose salaries permit
them to specialize and administer
their departments efficiently. 1t Co
ordinates taxing and spending
thus avoiding financial mismanage-
ment or unwisely apportioned funds
In obtaining needed action promptly
and efficiently the plan is highly de-
sirable.

TAKES UP MISSOURIAN OFFER
]. +. Brittingham, N. q. Man On
Border Writes For Subscription.


When the Missouri troops were or
dered to the border last summer, the
Missourian offered subscription
price of 81 for the period that a SOL
der was at the border, no matter how
long. That this special rate was not
forgotten, is proved by j. F. Britting-
ham, who has written to the Mis-
sourian, more than three months aft
erward, wanting to take advantage of
it.
Brittingham received a B. S. in C..
E. in 1915 from the University Dur
ing his last year in school. he was
major of the second battalion in the
Cadet Corps.
Brittingham writes on the Army and
Navy Department stationery of the Y.
NJ c. A. He is with Troop A. District
of Columbia National Guards, at Fort
Sam Houston. San Antonio, Tex. He
has just been sent to the border. The
national guards of several of the east
ern states were held in mobilization
camps sometime before going to the
border.

COMMERCE WITH SOUTH AMERICA

The European war has almost
closed the commerce of South Ameri-
ca with Europe. 1t has opened COM
merce with the United States, which
can be carried on with the same ad-
vantages.
Commerce between South America
and this country until now has been
small. Merchant steamers Travelled in
a triangle. These steamers went from
France, Germany and Great Britain
with cargoes of all manufactured
products and returned mostly by the
way of the United States with cargoes
of coffee and rubber
The South American countries, es-
pecially Brazil and Argentine, export
ed more to the United States than
they have imported The reasons
were: first, the United States had not
tried to extend commerce with South
American countries; second, no Amer
ican banks were established to facili-
tate commercial transactions; third,
no American line of transport was in
existence, except the Brazilian Lloyd;
fourth. Americans had not learned
how to deal with their Latin neigh
bors; finally, products of the United
States were not made according to the
system of South America
Conditions brought by the war have
opened commerce between the repub-
lies of South America and the Unitei
States. There are now three Ameri-
can banks in Brazil, one in Argentine
and another in Chile. Commerce has
developed largely during the last year.
and the hopes are that South America
and the United States from now on
will understand each other better in
a business and social way

NJ. L. MAN TALKS ADVERTISING
DIR. Almstedt Says Personality Is
Necessary Asset to Publicity.

Necessary Asset to Publicity.
Personality sets advertising to
art" said Dr. H. B. Almstedt in his
talk last night before the Ad Point
Club of the University on Efficiency
in Advertising" Dr. Almstedt handles
the advertising for the Phi Mu Alpha
concerts. He based his talk on ad-
vertising from the layman's point of
view.
Efficiency in Advertising" said
Doctor Almstedt, comes from appeal
ing to the layman's point of view, and,
in order that the advertising man may
be able to make this appeal. he must
be broadly educated in the Arts and
Sciences and in human nature
The advertisers appeal today is to
human nature fundamentally. The
great spirit in advertising is to put
only the truth in the copy, and Presi-
dent Wilson has commended the AS
sociated Advertising Clubs of the
World for taking this stand Adver-
tising distributes the worlds work
and should. therefore be truthful.
THE broadminded business man of
today advertises not to get the imme-
diate dollars and cents but rather to
gain the culminative effect Of adver-
tising, which, after all. is the good
will of the community Therefore
the advertising writer must develop
his personality because personality
adds the punch" to the technique
Efficiency in advertising is, there
fore, the training which develops per-
sonality and thus allows the adver-
tising writer to make his appeal to
human nature scientifically A combi-
nation of theory and practice is neces-
sary for the really efficient adver-
tiser"
