University Enters New Era In Football Affairs
Although it took a five-hour session behind locked doors at the Chancellor's office Wednesday night and Thursday morning to iron out the last wrinkles and add the finishing touches to the new football set-up at the University, the results more than justified the time and effort expended by Athletic Board and Board of Regents members.
In fact, the results exceeded even the fondest hopes and expectations of many of the student body, who were cynically accustomed to seeing such matters settled repeatedly elsewhere by similar groups dominated entirely by politics or alumni pressure.
For the decision handed down by the joint boards represents to a marked degree a triumph for the students themselves. Throughout the entire proceedings, student members of the Athletic Board asserted later, the wishes and desires of the students were given first consideration. And regardless of the actual methods employed in securing them, the results represented, as nearly as any solution could, the wishes of the majority of actively interested students and sincere friends of the school.
Prof. W. W. Davis, chairman of the executive committee of the Athletic Board, worked unceasingly in co-operation with student members of the board to determine prevalent sentiment on the Hill, and perhaps to him more than to any other one person goes credit for the successful outcome of the meetings.
The Athletic Board, the Regents, and the students as a group, are to be congratulated for several specific reforms in the interest of the University's athletic progress.
First, of course, is the selection of one of the best qualified football coaching staffs in this part of the country. With its choice, spectators at forthcoming Jayhawk football games are promised an aggressive style of football differing markedly from that traditionally in evidence here. Those who have seen Gwinn Henry's highly successful teams at Missouri, Emporia, New Mexico, or St. Louis—and those who have witnessed the consistently impressive teams turned out by Vic Hurt at Tulsa—will testify to that.
In addition, Henry is bringing to the University a man whom he vouches for as the best scout and "sizer-up" of material he has ever seen. The foundation for successful varsity teams will rest in the capable hands of Mike Getto, who assumes his new duties as freshman coach in the coming spring practice season.
Of course, any unwarranted optimism as to a "Big Six Title" here next year is to be discouraged. Putting a new coach on the mound now is like sending a new pitcher to the box with bases loaded and none down. He may possibly strike out the next three batters in a row, but the chances are about one hundred to one that the opposition will score a run or two before it is retired. The real test comes in next inning, or maybe even further along in the game.
However, with a five year contract for himself and a three year guarantee for his first assistant, Henry has been given the security he will need to "build from the bottom," to achieve a successful status before he is up for rehiring again.
Another evidence of progress is the action taken by the Regents in that meeting at Topeka last Saturday. In clearing the way for Henry's occupancy of the dual position he now holds, they also rescinded the two-year-old action which emasculated the office of director of athletics.
They abolished the three-member managing committee and the office of business manager of athletics. The functions formerly performed by these officials have now been incorporated specifically under the director—where, in the interest of efficiency and a direct line of responsibility, they have always belonged.
The Kausun joins with the student body in hoping and believing that the football situation at last has been cleared up satisfactorily for years to come, and that the University is about to enter upon a new and steadily brightening era in affairs of the oblate spheroid.
Her husband divorced Bette Davis because she read too much. He didn't go so far as to claim that he had to go to the movies to hear her talk, though.
The President heartily endorses a "Pay-as-you-go" policy for increasing national defenses. So far, however, no, one has suggested a "Fight-as-you-rearm" program to serve as a complement.
Independents Take First Step Toward Convention
The all-school dance at the Memorial Union ballroom tongtih, sponsored by the Independent Student Association, is one of the most important steps taken by the independent students since the group was organized last spring.
The purpose of the organization is to encourage social activity among the unaffiliated students. It has sponsored a number of parties and programs, but today's dance is the first function to appeal to the general student body.
A bi-monthly newspaper, called "Independents' News," made its appearance last night. It contained news of local activity as well as unaffiliated student happenings on other campuses.
This increased activity is to lead up to the national convention—which will be held on this Campus next March. Delegates representing nearly every state in the country are expected to attend.
A large crowd at the dance should be a favorable portent. An active independent students' organization will prove a benefit to the Hill.

Editor, Daily Kansan;
Once upon a time there was a holiday. This holiday came on Sunday, which for all practical intents and purposes, already was a holiday. So people kicked it off early the next day, and it began nearly as much as fun having two holidays not at once.
After about years and years and years of this kicking, who run the earth and so forth decided to overcome this difficulty. They sent out an SOS for the brain rasters, who curiously enough came up with the suggestion. "If a holiday comes on Sunday, why not Monday the holiday for all practical purposes?"
Reasoning with the b.r. the forthcoming New Year's Day vacation on Monday. But another b.r. (the Board of Regents) apparently never has heard of this custom because maybe they had the board apparently because maybe the Board of Regents did not make up the school calendar. Maybe the calendar appointed by the Board is the sponsor. Maybe Dick Ameirce be a date with Denny. Maybe the English majors are going to have mother tea party. Or you can blame it on the New Yorker.
Anyway, the postoffice, the banks, and other representatives of sound democratic judgement will be closed. But not classes in the University of Kansas Again the cry 'No School Monday' falls only on deen
Yours for a Kansan campaign. Vacation Lovers.

Minnesota Men's Dorm Has Ideal Arrangement
By Mary Jane Sigler. c: 39 The University of Minnesota is indeed fortunate in having a residence hall for men, Pioneer Hall, which houses 256 undergraduate and graduate students. In Pioneer Hall these men have a center for social, athletic, and scholastic activities, along with an extremely pleasant place to live.
Pioneer hall, opened in 1934, follows this trend. It is arranged in two wings of eight house units, with each wing forming a quadrangle. The units, which have separate entrances, accommodate from 30 to 35 men.
The trend in college dormitories is toward large buildings with common lobbies, dining rooms, and recreational facilities, but with entirely separate house units of study-rooms and bedrooms. This plan thus pro-
poses the larger and smaller group life and is, precisely speaking, ideal.
Excellent Recreational Facilities
The bedrooms and study-rooms
are equipped with three-room suites for two students,
with separate bedrooms and a common
study. This arrangement provides plenty of space, gives both privacy and companionship, and all
provides a comfortable environment in study hours and social habits.
It's an established fact that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," so Sioneer Hall has two large lobbies on the main floor (one for each wing), and two recreation rooms in the basement. That sports facilities are necessities in a men's dormitory is proved by the large participation in sports by the residents of the hall. Three hundred of the $36 men entered some intramural sport, and more than two-thirds of them took part in the hall tournament, shuffleboard, handball, and ping-pong.
The recreation rooms perform the double mission of promoting group activities, fellowship, and leadership, and of building up physical condition and furnishing an outlet for surplus energy. There are a shuffleboard courts, a handball court, a golf-driving net, billiard tables, jing-pong tables and tables for card-playing, checkers, and d chess.
Lobbies Are Hall Social Centers
Many of Pioneer Hall's social events take place in the lobbies, which also play an important part in the school dance. The bi-quarterly dances (six during the academic year) are the major social events, and there are small group parties, and other forms of entertainment provided, such as music and talks by men outstanding artists in style shows for men put on by downtown stores, and anateur hours.
Each lobby has a radio and a grand piano, and though quiet hours are maintained on the three top floors of the hall after 8 p.m., music and games are permitted in the lounges in the evenings. The press-
Students are required to take their meals in the main dining-rooms of the two wings. Breakfast and luncheon are served catereria style, but a table d'hote dinner is served at night. A limited number of dinner and over-night guests can be accommodated.
ident of the University of Minnesota donated to the hall a browsing library of 800 volumes.
Pioneer hall is supervised by self-government, a self-regulation which, despite the largeness of the dormitory, works efficiently and with little flexibility. The presidents of the 15 house units, the eight graduate counselors (one to every two units), and the director of the hall make up the hall council and the board of directors.
Pioneer hall gives to its residents every advantage that a men's residence hall can. It is attractively and comfortably furnished, and yet the cost of living there is within reach. The room salues for two men, with board, are $130 a quarter, or $43 a month for each student.

grossed in the subject, wonder how many precious minutes are left to enjoy.

If none of them get watches for Christmas maybe somebody should steal the kitchen clock and set it on the teacher's desk.
