Oklahoma Wins But Kansas Fights!
Those who had the courage or the lack of sense—to peer into football's crystal ball early this fall predicted Kansas would have a team capable of producing surprises on any opponent. So far the Jayhawks have surprised no one. On the other hand, they have lived up to the expectations of football men in this section who know Gwinn Henry's reputation for turning out teams that never give up.
At Norman Saturday, the Sooners submitted the Kansas eleven to almost every gridiron humiliation short of stringing them up by their toes to the goal posts. Beefy, clever, methodical champions that they are, the Oklahomaans pushed Henry's Jayhawkers all over Owen field. But the team from Kansas still had fight enough to convert their one good scoring chance into seven points in the last 30 seconds.
This feat, after they had taken strenuous punishment all afternoon, enabled the Jayhawks to become the first team to score against the Sooners in two years of conference play. The last time the Oklahomaans failed to blank a Big Six opponent was when Iowa State counted a touchdown in 1937.
Not only against Oklahoma, however, has Kansas displayed a fight to the finish. Against Drake, they came within a hair of scoring what might have been the game-winning touchdown in the final minutes of play. The two tallies against Iowa State were engineered in a blasting fourth quarter finish. Colorado State also felt the sting of the Jayhawk's sprint to the tape, a last period scoring thrust breaking a scoreless tie.
So watch out you Wildecats, you Huskers,
you Tigers. This year Kansas has a team you
may be able to beat. But you'll never win until
the final gun ends the game. Because Kansas
fights!
What Follows After War?
Congress talks, Roosevelt dreams, and the citizenry wonders about the near future of America in regard to playing the part of Big Brother in the international melodrama.
Clarence Streit, an American newspaperman who covered the doings of the League of Nations for the New York Times, believes the solution for the world's difficulties is to be found in the plan used by the thirteen American colonies following the Revolutionary War. Streit in his "Union Now" blue-prints a United States of the World made up of the present democratic nations.
When the American Revolution ended the colonies were completely lacking in a coordinated federal government. Under the Articles of Confederation, the separate states expressed a willingness to get together and recognized the need for united action, but the binding was too loose. When the Federal Constitution was adopted in 1789 the nation started on its way to success. Streit believes that a similar plan would work on a world-wide scale.
On the surface the plan sounds Utopian and feasible, but only if one assumes that the United States is willing to take the lead in the international game of dice. In such a United States of the World this country would have 126 of the 277 delegates and 10 of the 42 senators in the supreme congress.
Simple arithmetic shows that the United States would have 136 delegates to 183 for all the rest of the democracies. Such a plurality would project the United States into the political limelight of the world which it assumed when the Monroe Doctrine was introduced, when the Spanish-American war was being waged in the newspapers, when the Panama canal was being built, and when President Wilson went to France to dictate terms at the close of the last World War.
Though many Americans favor the present strict neutrality of the George Washington tradition and consider such a book to lie in the mythical H. G. Wells category of "Things to Come," such a plan must be reckoned with in the inevitable days of reconstruction and reconciliation which lie ahead.
--of the arsenal at Harper's Ferry. Kansas writed in the threes of civil war. Then, Vermont entered fully into the problems of her sister states, for what affected them also affected her. The population of the Green Mountain state was not static as it is now; she experienced a full tide on an influx of foreigners and an ebb when natives pushed west to settle in other states.
John Dewey Of Vermont
Vermont in the 1850's must have possessed several qualities now absent from her foreground. Eighty years ago this month she produced John Dewey, a philosopher as yet unequaled in America. His present theory of teaching outmodes twentieth century educators. Dewey's thoughts do not result wholly from an analysis of recent times. He absorbed his cardinal ideas from the last century with its revolutionary movements and ideals.
In 1859 Lincoln declared an anti-slave platform when he threw his hat into the senatorial ring. He lost a bitter race but continued his speeches against slavery. Within a week of Dewey's birth, John Brown made a shambles
Comment
Dewey was born at the time when Vermont's political elections raged the hottest. Doubless, he received a greater stimulus from them than our generation has from the contemporary Republican landslides for which the state is famous.
Once Vermont was noted for invariable triple personality of her natives; wit, common sense, and simplicity. John Dewey shines with all three characteristics, for he caught them before they faded into a later pattern. Today, New England, weakened in these qualities, shivers from the tremor of world affairs. Vermont has changed and her sons with her. John Dewey has no successor.

To The Editor:
Much ado is being made on this campus about the buildings being littered with cigarette smoke. Well, how about the general upkeep of the buildings? Everywhere you see dust, dust, dust. You can avoid seeing dust, dust, and more dust.
I came to the University from a small college in which the buildings are always kept very clean and neat. The slavene appearance is unfavorable impression. It gives the idea that the University of Kansas is a non-aggressive and run-down college. Through the power of suggestion, this has the same psychological effect on students as it does on students and visitors a much better impression of KU. As it is, KU gets enough bad publicity, and it won't cost much to improve the physical appearance of the campus. In the long run, it will pay big dividends to
I think the University is a wonderful school, and I wouldn't trade it for any other university, but I amely believe that a Chancellor Malott's "good housekeeping" would improve the place.

Kansan 'Dead End Kids' Need a Brand New Shack
By Dale Heckendorf, c'40
Can you imagine the Journalism building doing a St. Vitus舞 in a stiff breeze? (The modern term is jitterbugging.) You don't need an imagination or even a stiff breeze.
Most anything can be expected of that pile of sticks and stones, so affectionately called the "shack" by students of the journalism department, who refer to themselves as the "Dead End Kids."
What would you think if (after a wind storm) you went to class in this lean-to built years ago over Schiller Shore, Ken Postelwhitehaven, a bunch of type, and a press, to find a sign, where the shed was standing the day before, saying "All journalists suit this bulletin board and a weather map daily for the location of the shifting "shack."
As for smoking in University buildings, it's better to let the buildings burn up than to fall down. Fires are more exciting and last longer, and if the building burns up there will be nothing to come down. This will eliminate cleaning up the debris. Furthermore a fire will allow landmarks Shore and Fortstadtwite to escape and remain landmarks.
Another thing, the Journalism building is a first-rate fire trap. With all the paper scattered around the newsroom it would make a nice blaze. To the students, the waste-paper basket hasn't been invented. One glance at the newsroom and a person thinks of the map of Europe. Next to Rand and McNally, after every edition of the Kaman, the janitors who clean up the "shack" are the busiest people in the world. They deserve a break. Let the old thing burn up. If somebody does not build a new one, another cracker box can be moved on the site.
The Architectural Society will hold its first social entertainment of the year as a picnic and weer roast at 4:30 this afternoon. Students and faculty of the department of architecture will leave from Marvin hall at 4:30. The purpose of the occasion is to promote better acquaintances among freshmen, advanced students, and faculty members.

Engineers To A.S.C.E. Meeting in Kansas City
In addition to the KU. representatives were members of the society from Kansas State College at Mansfield, Missouri School of Mines at Rolla, Mo.
Someone should slap the state legislature a time or two on the bip pocket, though useless, it would be fun. Every time the legislators see anyone that has the slightest resemblance of a crusading journalist gesturing at them, they look bug-eyed and throw out a spiked welcome mat.
When it comes to appropriations they'll try to convince everyone that the world is flat. Who do they think they are fooling? The United States is the richest country in the world. Kansas' share may amount to less than two cents in a night club. What of it? The state legislature can get it from the federal government, everybody else does.
Let's keep pushing, chums.

War bulletin—an engagement for the Nebraska-Kansas game Nov. 11 has been called off between Theta's Cecil King and Sigma Chai's Wayne Whelan.

Miss King, an able social diplomat, is not worried over the loss of her ally. She still has strong alliances on Tennessee street.
