The Editorial Page
Successor
It's time for the staff of the Daily Kansan to change again. After a nine week stint, the jobs are passed on to a new crew.
The skipper next fall will be Jim Robinson, College junior, from Columbus. Jim will fit neatly into the job of editor-in-chief as he has been quite active on the news side of this paper. He'll be doing a writing job that will cover local, national, and international affairs in giving you an insight into the happenings of the day.
Jim will get a start this summer on the editorial job as he handles this page twice a week on the Summer Session Kansan.
If you have something that you want to get off your chest, don't hesitate to drop Jim a letter and let him know what you think. The Letters to the Editor column should be the most active column in this paper.
Here's wishing Jim the most interesting and valuable nine weeks of his college career.
'Snob Hill'?
Dear Editor:
I wonder why Kansas State's enrollment has gone up a higher percentage than K.U.'s. Also, why have they beat us in basketball, football, and many other things in the last year or so for the first time in years? You don't suppose that it's because the friendly mid-western people (at least that is what many people call them) and many of our better athletes in the last few years have decided it would be a lot more socially educational to go elsewhere? After all this is "snob hill" where only Greek people can live a decent, well-rounded life. Of course, the filthy rich can rate some also.
Donald Herrman College sophomore
The Registrar, Mr. Hitt, reports that K.U.'s enrollment has increased 112 per cent, one of the two schools in this part of the country which has accomplished this feat. Kansas State has jumped from a pre-war level of approximately 3500 to a present figure of 7000 which would fall short of K.U.'s increase.
Is it possible that the writer of the above letter missed the Kansas State football debacle last fall?—Editor.
Approaching exams and the diminutive Daily Kansan notice notwithstanding, it's not quite heartening to see a University community, which supposedly spends a large part of its time getting at "the fine things of life," turns out hardly as many persons to witness the hard work and skill of the University symphony as would normally show up at an intramural softball game.
Little Applause
Dear Editor:
It must not be heartening, either, for the members of the orchestra, who have been greeted with praise and gratitude by various cities throughout this district to come back home and be greeted with scattered applause rattling forth from a near-empty auditorium.
Here is one warm thank-you to the University symphony orchestra, Jack Moeklenkamp, and Director Wiley for an excellent evening of music.

Time To Withdraw
Dear Editor:
It is said that the new interpretation placed on an old eligibility requirement at the recent Big Seven meeting will terminate the football careers of several K.U. players.
The resolution was introduced by Sam Shirkey, representative from Missouri. How many Missouri players does this effect? None, as far as anyone knows, and if it does you may be sure that they aren't first string men. The vote was five to two with Kansas and Kansas State dissenting. It obviously doesn't effect too many men from the five schools voting for the resolution. It looks as if Don Faurot has given up trying to beat us on the gridiron and is now trying his hand over the conference table.
If K.U. loses the services of these players, we will be back where we were in the '30's—at the bottom of the conference. When we say the bottom, we not only mean the bottom in conference standings but also the bottom in gate receipts. This move will cost the University thousands of dollars in paid admissions.
It is reported that ten days prior to this conference several long distance telephone calls were placed to the University of Delaware to check on Red Hogan's participation in football at that University. Where they were made from no one is quite sure but some place in Missouri would be a good guess.
What can Kansas do? One thing! Withdraw from the Big Seven! We're big enough to do it. We're strong enough to do it. When any five schools out of a seven school conference gang up on one, with the sole purpose of weakening that school's athletic teams, then that conference is weak, and its time for a strong school to withdraw.

Porter, and Robert A. Franklin.
Since K.U. and K-State have joined forces in opposing the football eligibility, looks like Uncle Jimmy Green will get a rest at long last. Maybe the boys can take a jaunt over to Columbia—and paint Don Faurot.

EDITOR'S NOTE
- Letters To The Editor -
The Daily Kansan this morning received several telephone calls from readers who protested the "unethical defense of stealing" which was expressed in the letter from Stephen Relph, published yesterday. The callers insisted that the sentiments expressed in Relph's letter are NOT the principles of University students and faculty.
The Editor.
Cross Of Ridicule
Dear Editor:
To "lend dignity to advertisement" would be to dress a jay in a tailed coat. Tom Page, therefore, asks in substance that we should not endorse films. I would not have us brazen before disapproval, but I still think that we should bear the cross of ridicule unwhimperingly if we must in order to recommend a great work of art and a means of entertainment showing one of our languages at work. I hope that our department should join the movie industry in approving a picture well done in Italian, just as a person should add his amen to a hymn sung by a choir of harlots and bootleggers. I hope Mr. Page will not have time to publish an answer kidding us about being parsons.

The Editor - Plenty Of Time
Dear Editor:
Dean Ebert
Yes, I can spare the time—but who's talking about parsons?
We should yield gracefully to the prospect that the Muse will be boot-legged to our students with her bosom rent, as a fair flower disheveled in the tempest of Life. We will all come running, our mouths watering and our pulses quickening like Pavlov's dogs, when the lusty Latins beat on their big, base drum. Of course, the marginal morons will come, anyway, but the rest of us can be assured of a look at a great work of cinema art.
The political science department may be well advised to have one of its staff indicted for receiving bribes and buying votes, as an instructive example to its students of life as she (hier!) is lived.
