TALLOW-HEADEDNESS
If the K. U. crowd of hoodlums do not want to take defeat they should run up against some high school and not show their envy by mistreating students who are so unfortunate as to come here to a contest. Baker university ought to insist that henceforth all intellectual contests be pulled off out side of Lawrence. —World.
The hoodlum spirit cropped out slightly last night in the K. U.-Baker debate. The fact is, that the K. U. boys have always been jealous of Baker and took this means of paying the compliment of envy. It is mighty small business.—World.
The Lawrence World turnsnes the above sentiment. For some unexploitable reason the editor of the World seems to have been sourd against K.U. For several years the student body have endured his senseless tirade against this institution. He clutches at every opportunity, however trivial, to emit his nauseous utterances. The institution that gives life to the town, puts Lawrence on the map, and makes it a regular railroad stop, receives absolutely no encouragement or defense at his hands. Granted, some of our students, in their excitement, do commit some indiscretions, this does not justify a broadside of invective or continued malediction. In a student body of twelve hundred strong there are bound to be some whose exuberance misdirects itself. It is not the mission of the local paper, however, to maliciously magnify these instances and send them abroad for gross misinterpretation by the people of Kansas. A man of very moderate mental ability would appreciate that such a policy is retroactive. Will such defamation, such willful vilification increase K.U.'s enrollment? Does K.U.'s morale elicit her patronage? And will a decrease of this patronage mean the salvation of the city?
The motives for such decided brass must be well founded. The editor's memory of student days must be married by a halo of "flunks" or disappointed political ambitions. To be able to carry such prejudice into the outer world in open violation of common sense and business prudence is a distinguishing trait of genius or imbecility. Either Roycroft or Ossawatomic clamor for him. He should up and on to spheres of higher usefulness.
This endearing epithet or "hood'um," with which he designates K. U. students could likewise be applied to his beloved "Bakerites." It is the trait of a rank, bigoted renegade press to carefully exclude any extinguating phase in their prejudiced arraignment of a party. In this instance, the rule has no exception. The decision of the judges had hardly been announced before the frantic hordes from the south were on the rostrum with a rush. With a swoop they took the charts of the K, U speakers from their stands, flamming the fragments now on high, tramping them now ingoriously under foot. Our speakers had all they could do to protect their books and other data from the rabid greed of the "Bakerites." If this is not the prime essence of hoodlumism then we mistake the content of the term. There were only two things in Lawrence lacking spirit enough to resent such an insult; the cadavers in Medical Hall and the editor of the World. Apropos, the latter neglects in its scurilous remarks to mention the efforts of the Disciplinary committee which checked any retaliation in the chapel
The World's frankness shows bad sense and worse manners. The editor of this interesting sheet would be a great study from a scientific standpoint. It is self-evident that the stupors of misanthropy have stifled his soul and saturated his sense. Slow mental disintegration has made him petulant, and disturbances of the gastric functions have rendered him morose. What distinguishes him from other mammals is the fact that his bile seems to have gone to his brain, and in this mental, murky vertigo he sees life inversely and in untrue proportions.
K. U. ROWDY1SM VS. BAKER UNIVERSITY RESERVE,
The reputation of K. U. has been sustained by their action after the debate last night. When the debate was closed and the Bakerites gathered at the train for the victorious return, they were met by a mob of K. U. rowdies who were engaged in the pleasant pastime of gathering in stray hats and mufflers. All this was legitimate and no reference would have been made to the affair, but when a crowd of men go so far as to take a woman into the crowd and strip the ribbons off of her, it seems impossible to designate such action by any other name than cowardly and villainous, and when some tough cuts up a man's face with knuckles, such deaths are too despicable to think about without indignation against such an insult upon the name of collegial as the K. U. rowdies present.—Baker Orange.
Et tu brute—Like the Lawrence World, the above organ seems to hurt anthemas with absolute disregard for the truth. Upon investigation the WEEKLY finds the following to be the facts in the case: It seems that when the hordes with the homemade hair-cuts arrived at the depot they encountered a party of K. U. students and a color "serap" ensued. The struggle in general was good-natured. But among crowds there are always a few who are too stubborn to accommodate themselves to prevailing conditions, thinking that bold resistance is a mark of courage. In the instance of such resistance only did violence result. During the
progress of the contest it seems that a "Bakerite" escaped from the melee with his colors intact. Being a typical "Bakerite," he immediately mounted the car platform, called the crowd's attention to his escape and bade them defiance. Naturally he was surrounded in a moment. In the struggle succeeding, this intractable young man foolishly struck his nearest assailant a vicious blow. The man thus assaulted courteously returned the blow with accrued interest. No knucks, however, were used. As to the lady episode we can learn nothing. But one thing is sure, if she was actually molested, as above reported, the act was prompted only by dare-devilry, and the lady suffered not by the experience. The Orange, as it inveighs against K. U. forgets to mention the fact that one of the Baker delegation made a gum play (a very indecent thing for an embryo minister to do) that came near precipitating something serious.
Instead of railing at the affair the Orange should find in the episode only a concrete applicaion that old motto, which probably adorns their classic halls, as it does many another antiquated institution; "No Excellence without Great Labor." Perhaps if Baker realized that, by some strange fore-ordination of fate, it required only the addition of the simple letter "m" to her initials "B. U." to perfectly characterize her work and outside reputation, her vaunted, tumid self-esteem might subside and recognizing her own petty position cease to slime the greatest institution of the Middle West.
With the conclusion of examinations, many college organs are devoting much space to the proper conduct of "quizzes." That hydra-headed monster, "cheating," has appeared and frightened honest workers into paroxysms offear. The "honor" system is being successfully agitated in the East independent of the faculty. Money considerations make the feasibility of this plan questionable. Whether this agitation ever reaches K.U.or not, it is manifestly evident that the workings of the present system in vogue are unfair. In outer life, the man with dishonest propensities is under surveillance to a certain extent and protection against his harmful purposes taken. This is brought about not so much by duly authorized officers as by individual effort. In college life, under similar conditions, there are considerations that restrain the student from taking such an initiative for protection. Cheating among, its many baneful results, means unfair disparagement and cheapens degrees. It has existed, however, for centuries and has most flattering prospects for the future. Its eradication, as we see it, can be brought about only by a spontaneous uprising of the brains of the student body. Any other plan will be branded as Sunday school reform and will expire with its first gasp.
The Baker co-ingent appeared to be a very "laughless" mob the other night.
The recent defeat in our debate may be replete with food for the moralizer. The editor not being an ambassador by profession hesitates at this opportunity to inject any oratory-patriotism fluid into the student body, lest he make a bangling job of it. There is, however, one topic, that this debate suggests to us and that is the student conduct in public entertainment. In debates, and contests of kindred nature, where the inflamed zeal of opposing factions has been aroused to white heat, the public expect noisy demonstrations. Keen, cutting repartee may be indulged in to heart's content before and after the entertainment, but while the program is in progress there should be quiet and orderly attention. K. U. as well as the other side, in its embittered enthusiasm, so far forgot itself as to hiss when an opposing speaker was greeted with lengthy applause. Such disgraceful outbursts are generally led by some irresponsible zealot, whom the well-intentioned should keep in check. Public decorum of a student body is in a large sense a reflection on the institution. Let us be circumspect in the future.
The Botany beginners never realized so vividly before that they didn't know "Beans."
To disconsolate "flunks" we offer the song of the robin— "chirrup."
Would "Mrs. Knocker" be a misnomer for Mrs. Rohrer?
We have decided to call our Freshmen girls little "K. U. tes."
