Kansan Comment
Football,
False King
Since Latin was supplanted by football as the main interest in colleges, gossip-mongers and self-appointed critics have harped on the lamentable practice of the subsidization of football players in the colleges of the United States
Francis Wallace, a noted pre-season football prophet, has written a punch-packed article, "Test Case at Pitt," for the Saturday Evening Post. Though his analysis is specific, the subject is close to dozens of American educational institutions. For several years there has been an off-the-record struggle between the faculty and the athletic department at Pittsburg for supremacy. The fight centered around John Gabbert Bowman, chancellor, and John Bain Sutherland, football coach. Now Mr. Sutherland has been fired, and Chancellor Bowman is emphasizing the educational angle of college to his heart's content and the benefit of the University.
Competition between the class-room and the stadium is absurd, but such a situation exists in many large schools. Emphasis has shifted from scholastic achievements to the quality of the current football team, as though the merit of the entire university was settled on the goalline. Football, basketball, or any other sport must remain an added-attraction, a rallying point for college students, but sports events are not the main feature of four years of college life.
High pressure football of the play-for-pay variety has resulted in a commercialization of college athletics and an over-emphasis on huge stadiums and victory-guaranteed teams.
Attacks on the value of college education are mounting in number. The old days when a diploma meant more than a social security number are gone. Observers from both outside and inside the magic university circle have taken off their rose-glasses and are attempting to justify the existence of the thousands of cultre-clinics which sprinkle the hills of America. Straightening out the footbath-education angle of college would boom university public relations.
Football heroes should not be deprived of their glory or their chance to fight for their chosen alma mater, but subsidization of players is not a justifiable part of a college budget. Pursuit of the pigskin and the sheepskin must be more rationally reconciled.

"For Camppass no Nazi years
He needs no education
In labor camps he quickly learns
The art of concentration

No other could be grander—
Though France and England call it tripe
We call it proarganda

We all know how to piler.
Finance helps those to help themselves.

We study to be engineer?
We learn geometrical
We learn how much to water beers
On all save army petrol.
Fair science is our best fad;

Still we admit it is too bad
We've no Ersatz for Hitler!"

Ediori's Note: In response to a request for an opinion on smoking insurance, William Allen White sent this reply.
"I would uphold the anti-smoking bill, first, because of the tremendous fire-hazard, and second, because dead cigarette stubs stink, and why should a person who does not smoke have to stand the stinks of those who do."

Embargo Enthusiasts
To The Editor:
Why don't the 1.100 students who voted for retaining the embargo write their representatives or the repalces of those who voted to withdraw which may decide the issue? If some of the students could see far enough in front of their noses (or the rest) they might repalce, they would tear loose with a few airmial stamps or even splurge with a new toy. Here's the answer to a New Dealer.
Dear Congressman: You do have a duty to something higher than F.D.R., et al, namely, your fellow-countryman and God, your own army and the typical New Deal corporal man, your vision is distorted by cigar smoke, your hand is crippled by handshaking, your ideas are rubber-stamped, your diet consists of crumbs from the Ad-Val-Pacific and you don't care about gear by backpatting Papa Roosevelt's 'blessings on you little man' magnifiently given to all those who fall in line. And you live in a world far removed from God, and from your fellow-man back at Podunkville or
But discard the moral issue; it is out as a primary promise. God can eat vote. But in the articulate mass that in the aggregate is mighty. Come election, and we will get the congress to act, graphing our congression, making them the toe
Of course, at first you were going to do right by us, you were going to keep us out of war. Of course you were going to be right changes with time. How could you foresee that the White House was going to get more hospitable. Now it seems to you that your destiny is to help make progress in Europe and as a result for dictatorship, to make us susceptible to the chaos and despotism of a Roosevelt-dynasty. The Messiah-complex is no doubt embarrassing for you, but it can be explained of bewildering this country by another gesture of capitulation to and acquiescence with Europes murderers. Perhaps you will be able to see why the German border to bear the "Made-in-America" sign. Or maybe you are motivated by the desire to cripple and scare us that we would indeed another president in 1940. The administration would like to make the country tries for a third term, to make it bogey for the German government, and in doing so ingoring the Du Pont bank roll and, of course, old John PUBLIC to the extent that the administration will be forgiven for pseudo-relief measures to the tune of 50%.
Heaven pity us if we are mercenary and stumble enough to think economic gain can be laid in the balance with blood, even though it is foreign blood. And we cannot afford to do that, because magnificently indifferent to the fate of the foreign democracies, if it means we've got to keep the home fires burning all the time. And even if Treaty was just, suffer for their shortestlightness and folly. The democracies win, lose, or draw, we can maintain our isolation if we want to. Even a victorious war would not allow them to maintain
We are demanding that our representation be not the pseudo-representation it so often is. I am a cree of all sorts, and I know that there are some vestiges of stature were for restoring the embargo. This poll is a cross-section view of the opinion of every college in the United States, as it is from our ranks you know. We can trust colleges have their tacit consent to gamble with millions of lives just because we were elected our representatives, but you don't. No such omnipotence was needed.
Enrolled in some college in the United States are on future presidents, statesmen and leaders, providing their destiny is not an ignoring roote on foreign soil i a shrapnel, bullet-turn hell-on-earth in a war fought not because of hate, but because of the gory bread of oppression and ambitions of opportunists and foreign imperialists.

Poll Tells Why Freshmen Take Military Training
This year's questionnaire to freshmen students in military science to ascertain why they enrolled in the voluntary R.O.T.C. courses at the University disclosed that 14 headings "The unsettled world situation" has jumped from sixth place nearly to yearly a tie for third place this year. Nearly half of the 225 students answering the poll admitted some influence from the war situation and about 12 per cent said it was the first and most important reason.
By John Baldwin, c'41
"The benefits of the course to me in professional life" received 53 per cent of the first, second, and third preferences as compared to 44 per cent for "The desire for a commission as a second lieutenant in the organized reserves upon graduation" and 36 per cent for "Upon the advice of friends in or familiar with the R.O.T.C."
Fifth place went to "Interested in a military career." Twenty-five aspirants would like to become flying cadets and about a dozen are looking forward with hope for West Africa. Sixth place went to the regular army upon graduation from the University. Sixth place went to "Military work and a

There was much ruffling of the bustles at Halt's Inn I'mother night when a freshman frightened customers into dropping their coffee cups and a woman into screaming. It wasn't a mouse the freshman turned loose but an imitation of a baby being murdered.

desire to wear the uniform" Desire for "credit hours" and "Pay and allowances" were seventh and eight places respectively. "Dad's Orders"
Approximately 15 per cent of the freshmen had previous military training in high school, the National Guard, on the C.M.T.C. (Citizen's Military Training Camp) and especially desired to complete their military education. "Dad" appeared in their training camp enroll. However, only two admitted that they enrolled on father's orders. The choosing of R.O.T.C. as preferable to physical training was mentioned by 30 per cent. Only 7 per cent would acknowledge that the facility advisors had any influencer in their grant gave this as his first reason for enrolling. Two Influences Logical
The first, two influences, "The benefits of the course to me in professional life" and "The desire for a commission as a second lieutenant in the organized reserves upon graduation," appear sound and logical. Col. K. B. Foldin, professor of military science and tactics, believes. Not over 5 or 10 per cent of these are liable to become professional military men. Civil citizenship and citizenship should be a distinct asset will be followed by the great majority and at the same time the graduates will hold reserve commissions which will assure their leadership in time of a national emergency.
Colinel Baldwin also believes that the freshmen are independent thinkers and are immensely interested. An proof of their interest I took a per cent of the 225 freshmen were absent from class 'mst week.
