Stadium Seats
It's not entirely due to a lack of school spirit that students don't cheer at football games as they should. It's quite a strain to crane your neck to see the game from the one-yard line. And the numbness acquired after sitting two hours in the grandstand may account for a part of the listless reaction to the cheer-leaders' pleas.
By the time the season is over, each student gets to see more of the football games with much less wear and tear than under the present K.U. "first come, first served" system.
Some eager people rush to the stadium at noon so they'll be sure of a good seat for the game which begins at 2 p.m. They may be able to see every play from their seat on the 50-yard line, but after two hours on the hard stadium benches, it seems doubtful that they can have enough spirit left to give the team a few rousing cheers. For the people who like to eat their lunch slowly, and for those who don't like the long vigil in the stadium, only the seats along the one-yard line remain. When you have to sit there, you can't be expected to give your share of cheers because you can't even see what you're cheering for.
Some universities have worked out a system of rotation whereby each student is assured of a good seat for at least one game, and fairly good places for the others. If such a system were introduced at K.U., it might have a good effect on the spirit of the students at the games. If students were assured of getting to see the team at least once during a season, they might not feel so reluctant to yell when it was their turn to sit near the goal line.
In one school using the rotation system, students are given activity cards in one of five different colors. A student holding a green card may sit in a 20-yard section along the 50-yard line in the first game. For the next game, he moves to a section between the 20 and 40 yard lines, while a student holding a yellow ticket moves into the choice center section—and so on throughout the season.

Quite possibly.
It may be that bridge is the most popular indoor sport. Then again, it may be that another great indoor sport, which requires only two to play, is more popular.
Bridge
At any rate, bridge is almost an ideal game. You can fritter a whole evening away without learning a thing and without thinking. That is, unless you play with someone who talks of "honors," "Blackwood," or "rebiddable suit." But since this is mostly to show off, you won't learn anything anyway. People who talk of such things are as confused as anyone else.
Then again, getting into a bridge game is an excellent way to avoid study.
Who knows?
Do not become befuddled if your partner opens with a bid of three or four and you pass and he shouts at you. It is traditional to shout in a bridge game just as in a baseball conflict.
Never worry about the game. It is essentially simple. A fellow who has never heard of Barclay, Blackwood, Hoyle or any of the other jokers, summed it all up simply. "There ain't nothin' to it. Charlie," he said. (Charlie was the name of the man he was talking to.) "Just put down one card at a time."
But always sit with the bathtub.—Douglas Jennings.

'Small Things'
Card of Thanks: I wish to thank the St. Louis Cardinal baseball team for saving me $150. G. C. Huhman. (Cunningham Clipper)
We hear that some of the Fine Arts boys were pitching pennies on the third floor of Frank Strong when the chancellor came upon them. The fact that they were all smoking didn't exactly ease the situation.
The Veterans' administration announces that rumors of an early insurance dividend payoff are without foundation. That whirring noise you hear in the distance comes from several thousand brains desperately substituting new vacation plans for old.
Headline writers around the Kansan copy desk have heaved a sigh of relief now that Lilienthal and Hickenlooper will no longer be so much in the news.
Dear Editor-
A. S. C. Salaries
Dear Editor:
We know that the A. S. C. is perpetuated by the "Great American Spirit" "take away from the poor what they have, or are about to have, and give it to the needy upper class." The poor needy president, treasurer and secretary have voted themselves $12 per month out of a fund provided by 8,500 "stinking rich" students who must not know how to handle their own money since they are of the lower 98 percent, and who, therefore, should have it handled much more efficiently by Ernie Friesen, Bob Bennett, and Co.
The A. S. C. has solved the economic problem, but we think behind their outward proclamations may be a hint of a plan for sharing the wealth. Even though this sounds "panty pink" (we are sure the legislature will now want the A.S.C. to sign the loyalty oath) we could condone this sharing if we could only have a share of our own contributions which we so generously gave to the University.
One member has stated that he misses a meal every time the A.S.C. meets. With meetings once every two weeks, this makes the meal worth $5. Cheap, this is, with the present level of prices. Since most of the members want merely to represent the "majority" and have no intention of holding office for ego-satisfaction, we believe that most of the members would not be so busy that they couldn't find time to resign.
lovingly,
(signed by five K. U. students)
Protest
Dear Editor:
As students, we protest the misuse of student funds brought about in A.S.C. Bill 19 which provides for salaries of $12 per month for certain A.S.C. officers. We ask other students of the University to take a stand on this issue. Who knows but what next time, the entire A.S.C. will vote itself a salary.
Excellent service in the past has been rendered by officers of the A.S.C. without salaries. It would seem that if salaries are so necessary for the present group of officers, because of sacrifices they must make, submission of their resignations would be the solution to their problem.
(Signed by eight K. U. students)
Correction
Dear sir:
Thank you very much for printing the statements I made to Mr. Ferro on the front page of your paper. I appreciated that very much, as it makes a fine introduction for me, and I am always glad to tell people about my country.
That I found Americans more scientific than Europeans is a statement I didn't make. I was surprised to find that in the headline of the article. Though many Americans have a very specialized knowledge in one field, I found their interest in general science and problems, which do not affect their everyday life, very limited.
yours sincerely,
Erwin Davis

Moreau Addresses Debate Class
F. J. Moreau, dean of the School of Law, addressed members of Kim Giffin's class in the fundamentals of debate. His lecture, entitled "A Practical Education for Law," briefly summed up the prerequisites for entering the legal profession.
Aspirants must have a sufficient educational background in order that they be well informed, Dean Moreau said. They must be able to think clearly and quickly and should be familiar with the philosophies and thoughts of the great scholars who have molded much of today's opinion, and they must be capable of expressing their thoughts concisely and in as few words as possible.
Dean Moreau supplemented his lecture with the reading of related excerpts from Robert Maynard Hutchin's, "Education for Freedom."
