Kansan Comment
Rhetoric and Rugby vs.
Morons and Muscles
From the Emporia Gazette.
The Gazette rejoices at the ever-lasting walloping that the State College at Manhattan gave the State University at Lawrence in football Nov. 3. This is what it should be. The Manhattan college once was our Agricultural College. It maintains universal military training for boys. It specializes in the stratospheres of manual training—which enrich mankind. Manhattan is the place where you should expect to find students who coordinate between eve and hand
—young men who are husky and skillful, youths who are practical. There go boys who are highly intelligent in their various trades, callings and such avocations as cluster around high mechanical ability. The University is on the other hand primarily a school of liberal arts around which are gathered the professions of music, law, medicine, pharmacy, engineering in its theoretical branches, journalism, literature, and the other fine arts. That such a school of modern magi should even compete in a football game against one of the best agricultural and mechanical colleges in the United States is preposterous.
The University deserves a licking and got it. What business has a lawyer, a doctor, a fiddler, or a soda water jerker and sandwich cutter out of a pharmacy school going up against another youngster from a school whose business it is to train his muscles and channel his mind into the stark problems of a hard, practical life? Of course the University got walloped. We hope it will always get walloped until the academicians of K.U. learn that the football championship should naturally belong to the State College at Manhattan which trains farmers, artisans, cow doctors, highway engineers, super electricians, major generals and tree experts. The sooner the google-eyed, spindle-shanked, blimp-domed intelligentsia down at Lawrence learn that football is not their game and confine themselves to crossword puzzles and bingo the sooner will normal order in this state be restored.
You cannot go against nature. And no school that teaches its pupils much about the higher and better things of life, no school devoted largely to noble ideals and the higher branches of sublimated fiddlesticks should tangle up with harsh callous-handed, bull-voiced he men with Neolithic jaws and who carry pile drivers in their nants.
The stuffing which was pounded out of K. U. should teach the Jayhawks in truth: Don't monkey with the buzz saw. This noble rule should hereafter be placed well up toward the beginning of their curricular requirements.
In the meantime for the poetic justice of Manhattan's glorious victory, The Gazette thanks all the Kansas gods!
Editor's Note: K.U. has played Manhattan for 37 years, won 22 times, lost 12 times, and tied 3 times. Perhaps finesse is effective over brawn on occasion.

Forgotten Penguins
Admiral Byrd is seeking a home for twenty orphan penguins. The implications of that announcement are tremendous. Why doesn't Kansas University grab this unparalleled opportunity and be the first to offer these poor Arctic refugees a shelter?
It's going to be a long cold winter as the University students who aren't used to stepping outdoors for their nicotine intake will find out, but a hard cold snap is just the weather to please a penguin. Let Mount Oread, far above the golden valley, be the first to offer a wintry haven to the forgotten penguins.
True it is conceded by reliable reports on the subject that the penguins are in the mating season. Equally true, it is admitted, sex, crime and communism are taboo on this campus as witness the lack of personal and social relations classes in the curricula, the recent smoking ban, and a not so long ago witch hunt.
Kansas has the Kaw but no shell crews or races. Kansas had goal posts but not since last week-end. Kansas has the Arctic winters but no pattern of little penguins. Before 1932, Kansas had a museum of natural history that was famous but is no more. And that brings a solution to the problem of where to put the penguins. House them in Dyche museum—the door is locked anyway.
The great humanitarian opportunity offered in transplanting these innocent, unhappy birds is one that the University should not miss. Leave it to Anatole France to show the dangerous results of converting penguins to human habits. Here's a beautiful chance to learn first hand what penguins can do towards human education. The Jayhawk would look to his laurels.
Collegiates
Cheating
The dismal days are here again, the time of mid-semesters; when the fun-loving and carefree student is suddenly summoned by a faculty representative of St. Peter to give an account of his missport hours since September. The University according to The Emporia Gazette is the habitat of gentlemen and scholars, but there is a percentage of students scattered among the academicians and Phi Beta Kappa's who love to fritter away time and to whom the number of classes cut is the group pass-word.
Coking, bridging, and chatting are three University past times, but the obvious question never occurs to the collegiate who merrily "cut" their way through college. The question: "Who is being fooled?" The professors don't mind particularly if certain students idle their motors while in class and avoid the class-room like a plague spot at least once a week, but pity the deluded student who slides through four golden years of college and graduates with an empty head and an empty feeling in the pit of his stomach.
A synthetic and unearned sheepskin is one of the most worthless possessions available, yet each year thousands of college students adopt the juvenile attitude of going to class from a sense of duty, studying the bare minimum on lessons, and barely passing their courses. They cheat only themselves and their parents who support their idleness. A University of Southern California professor has figured that it costs about $1.30 each time you cut a class. What is your loss for the semester?

To The Editor:
communant beat us Friday, but that is behind us and we have two terrifically important games ahead and a team that needs our support . . . next week-end we play Needlebaus and a goalie in the second round. Linchin is only over a couple of rises and across a brief stretch of prarie. The Jayhawk feathers aren't trivial, we have a fighting team and if the goal-post demonstration is any criterion there are several fighters among the student body. So
I'M NOT A CHEER-LEADER.

Physical Exams Show Women Healthier Than Men
Women students entering the D.versity this year are healthier than the men, according to figures released recently by Dr. R. I. Canute son, director of the Student Health Service. The statistics were based on the results of 1,388 physics examinations of new students o which 988 were man and 488 woen.
at Kansas University
The average woman student, Doctor Camtenes said, is 18.84 years old, 5 feet 4 inches tall, and weighs 129 pounds without her abees. Her pulse rate ranges from 80 to 90 when she is at rest, and after a dance or other activity, increases to 109. She is one of the 45 percent of girls having normal vision and one of the 87 percent having normal hearing.
Women students entering the Unit's ment of the women" Doctor Canute
perceive this year are healthier than ever said.
Three hundred and twenty-nine women—67.41 percent—passed the physical examination with a grade of "A," bettering the percentage of grade "A" men by 20 percent. Four hundred and twenty-three women passed the "A" listing. This was 47.10 percent of the total.
The average man at the University is almost six months older than this woman, Doctor Canutson's summary shows, since he (the average man) is 19.25 years old. This man is 5 feet 8.8 inches tall with his chin up and weighs 145 pounds, which meets army standards. His pulse idles along at 83, but picks up to 120 after exercise.
Examination grades at Watkins Memorial hospital this year were more stringent than formerly, Doctor Camiteson said. Students passing with a grade of "A" were eligible to participate in the Civil Aeronautics Authority flight training course, but a grade of "B" did not indicate any serious physical defect, since students with a "B" grade were eligible for varsity and intramural sports.
Ten percent of the men students at the University would need to fatten up before they could be placed in the bracket along with Mr. Average Man of their group, and 9 portraits of the women need more calories.
Color blindness, the inability to distinguish red and green stop lights, is a hereditary trait and not affect nurse. Doctor Canutesen said, but 6 percent of the men suffer difficulty in distinguishing colors.
However, the women contorted more closely to the average than did men, insofar as weight was concerned. Only 5 percent of the women were 15 pounds or more overweight, compared to 24 percent of the men.
On the whole, men had better vision than women, despite this affliction. Abnormalities of vision were apparent in 479 of the women students, and in only 288 of the men. Slightly more than 50 percent of the men had perfect vision in both eyes, compared to 46.72 percent of the women who truly had perfect vision in one eye. Men had a percentage of 17.15 perfect vision in one eye, and women had a percentage of 14.14.
Whatever difficulty women may have in seeing, they make up in hearing. The figures show that 87 percent of the women, or 1,163 of them, had normal hearing in both ears. Men had a percentage of $82.2$, but were able to hear better with one ear than were the women.
"Crowned teeth, usually representing teeth in which the nerve is dead and potential sources of danger, occur in 8 percent of the men and slightly less than 3 per-
"Only 1 percent of men and 0.2 percent of the women have blood pressures that are abnormally high, but 11 percent of men and 9 percent of women show a pulse rate higher than 120 beats per minute and 3.69 percent of the women show evidence of previous heart disease."
Lung abnormalities will not be determined until tuberculin tests and x-rays are completed, Doctor Canutesa said.
"In spite of the epidemic of parking permits, which are required of students driving cars to class, only 3 percent of the men and 9 percent of the women have flat feet," Dr. Caruteson concluded.

Tom didn't do so well on the riot, however. He ran madly about Saturday looking for amateur camera-man with good shots of the Potter's Pond dunking. No dice! All the amateurs had were either blanks, or at the best, shadowy outlines something that could have been a peace meeting in the Union building.
