Kansan Comment
Kansas Fights
Missouri may have a certain well-publicized Mr. Christman, but Kansas has a fighting team with a spirit that conquers defeat. At Nebraska, the gallant Jayhawkers fought without flinching; they played "heads-up" football during every moment of the game. There was no let-up and no relief; substitutions were few and the Corn-huskers were big and numerous.
Everyone who witnessed the game at Lincoln was impressed by one salient fact: the indomitable fighting spirit of K.U. Such a team plus its record of good sportsmanship on the field are invaluable assets to a University. We are proud of our football team.

Name-Calling On the Hill
The engineers call the Green Hall stepsitters "Shysters"; the lawyers deride the engineers as brain-bound slide-rulers; the political science majors are known as a bunch of politicians; the journalists are labeled a literate group of pencil-pushers. Every campus has its uncompensatory name for every other department.
The days of physical combat between schools is past, and the senior law students do not carry those canes for protection, but the tradition of inter-school feeds and the holier-than-toulter attitude persists to the detriment of the University as a unit.
Each college has its own clubs, its own traditions, its own activities, but such departmentalized spirit tends to lose sight of the fact that a University is not made up of one small specialized department. The reputation of a college is based on a composite impression of the student body, the achievements of alumni, and the unique spirit which makes any individual university different from all others.
Why don't the perennially idle class committees justify their existence by sponsoring some inter-college program to improve relations between the professional schools and the much-bedevilled "Liberal Arts" students? The overthrow of the narrow-minded "specialists" who can see only their own field of endeavor and look down from soaring heights of superiority on their humble peers would be a victory in the interest of University spirit.

Life in the Big Ten: Michigan beat the University of Chicago 85-0. As President Hutchens so aptly put it: "This is the way we play football—for the fun our kids get out of it." Massacre is good clean fun, if you can take it.

Mr. Smith Deserts Washington
Now that the blue haze of the neutrality debate has drifted down the Potomac, and the Senators and Representatives have retired to their respective fences for a little seasonal repair work, the public raises a beewildered eyebrow and queries: "Why didn't Congress remain in session?"
Congress convened in special session, and departed with "illusions of grandeur" and an assured neutrality for commercial America. Momentary settlement of national policy in connection with the shifting European jig-saw does not hide the fact that the world is smouldering and may burst into flame before the "men of the people" reassemble in January. Some commentators go so far as to comment that important and delicate questions of foreign policy may demand the instant availability of Congress.
Congress did not depart with a carefree mind leaving an empty docket behind them, Pressing problems such as taxation and unemployment, vital need for immediate and thorough study of the Labor Relations Act, and intelligent conclusion to the financing of the Social Security Act are only a few of the domestic tangles that the legislators left to straighten out later.
Congress may be criticized on the ground that the best way to insure domestic tranquility at a time when unrest and confusion is rampant is to set our house in order. Proximity of primaries, national conventions, and the 1940 campaign will smudge clear-cut issues when Congress meets in regular session. Political jockeying before national horse-sense may prove hazardous in these times.
Congress went home. Some alert Congressman might have given as a valid reason for remaining in session the need of a demonstration of congressional sincerity to counteract the current critical cinema "Mr. Smith goes to Washington." The eight-million show-goers who squint at the flickers every day are wondering along with the rest of us what history will say about Congress going home in November, 1939

Reply to Gazette
Dear Mr. Emporia Gazette:
Yes, the everlasting walloping the state college at Oklahoma football last week was as it should be. It probably will be quite everlasting—everlasting like the one they gave us three years ago when had the remarkable long lifespan of a cow.
Yes, this is as it should be. The Manhattan college maintains universal military training for boys and girls.
Of course one would expect to find boys who are highly intelligent in their various trades at Manhattan. Surely no one but an ignorant would think of asking of the professions—journals, for example.
The licking the university got was fine, wasn't it?— So thrilling! Yes, just what business has a soda-water jerker and sandwich cutter tangling up with men who possess Neolithic iaws? (II bite).
I'm it. It is a shame that lawyers, and doctors, and fiddlers, even think of indulging in any sport rougher than tennis or baseball. Pass a law prohibiting any student at the University of Chicago against him on the game of bridge on the sky? That would really give me what they deserve—make the blimp domed hippper, spindle-shanked shankker, and the goggle-eyed inventor.
Though I agree with everything you say I don't understand why you admonish "Don't monkey with the buzz-saw," for did you not say, "stratospheres of manual training . . . enrich mankind"
Possibly the reason the K.U. boys didn't carry pitchers is, of course, the information is correct, football pants do not have pocket.

Fraser Fools
Speaking of smoking bars, fireproof buildings and non-fireproof buildings, there is still some badly needed action that could be taken by the M.S.C. and the W.S. police to stop them from doing official access to it this time) concerning a dangerous hazard. Why not set up a ruler that every damned fool who insists on lighting matches in Fraser Theater to read his (or her) program in the dark must complete at least thirty hours of work for any degree at Osatwatome?

They've been having a hot time over in the Phil Delta Thhea house — this with four fires. Fire, one of the homes is not unknown to the Hill.
Campus and Fraternity Fires Worry Lawrence Firemen
In 1910, a fire broke out in the Phil Delta Theta house causing $4,000 damage. The fire burned the roof and the greater part of the third floor. A defective flu was blamed.
A P i Pluison fire in 1917 resulted in an $8,000 loss. In 1923, a fire of unknown origin caused damages of $2,500 at the Delta Uma house and the Kappa Sigma and Phi Chi barres had small conflagrations.
Phi Delta Chi was considerably damaged in 1925. The loss was estimated at $3,000. The next year, it went up to $6,000. Phi Upsilon had small flame damage.
In 1928, the Sigma Epsilon chapter was building a new house. On Dec. 21, fire broke out, destroying the framework. Damages were estimated at $30,000. Kappa Kappa Gamma joined the fire list a month later, but escaped without serious losses.
An exploding furnace was blamed for a $25,000 blaze which completely destroyed the Kappa Sigma house at 1537 Tennessee street in 1534. Most of the members lost their personal belongings and had to be clothed and housed temporarily by friends.
There were many other small blzes in fraternity and sorority houses, inflicting various amounts of damage. Hill buildings have several small fires, although most of them have been of a minor nature.
Fowler shops has perhaps been the most fortunate of the buildings. On May 9, 1918, the shops burned, with a loss of $16,000 for the building and some $18,000 for equipment. In 1932 a fire in the building destroyed $4,000 and $8,000 worth of uniforms and equipment up in smoke.
Fraser hall suffered from a small blaze in 1927, when a fire started in a pile of magazines in a north basement room. On Jan. 6, 1938, fire of unknown origin destroyed an awning on the west wall of the building, causing great excitement and little loss.

The Lawrence Fire Department is faced with the problem of extinguishing Campus blazes. Under the direction of Chief Paul Ingalls, the department is equipped with two 750 gallon puff pump trucks, one 560 gallon pumper, and a 65-foot aerial truck with 350 feet of ladders. Whenever they hear the four short blasts from the University whistle—the signal for a Campus fire—the city firemen dash up the Hill and start squirting water.
Here's a triangle. It involves Pi Phil Vela Wilson, Calek Parker, and Parker's aunt. The aunt delayed Parker's return from Eumura Sunday night with the result that Miss Tara was unceremoniously "stood up."
