The Kansan Comments
Let Us Get Behind and Push
With high hopes University students and football devotees will see the Kansas Jayawkers swing into action tomorrow against sible's Texas Longhorns, starting a grid season hat promises to be more successful than last ear's.
Out of fifty-one men in the squad, seventeen re lettermen and six were on the squad last ear, assuring experienced material.
With this aggregation, the team should climb at least another notch on the Big Six football scale to second place, and even harboropes of landing on top.
Such a team merits continued, enthusiastic student support.
One Man's Case Against Higher Education
Just how much of a liability is a college education?
In a recent issue of a national magazine, ' James Carroll, who claims to hold two college degrees himself, raises this pertinent question under the title, "No College for My Son."
We, of course, are college students. We have come to the University fully convinced that a higher education is a valuable stepping stone, even a necessary bridge, toward obtaining and holding the kind of position we wish to assume a later life. Undoubtedly we will protest Mr. Carroll's decision that four years spent in a modern college or university do more to unfit he average graduate for "success" than they to fit him for it.
But some of his arguments against college or the usual high school graduate are significant, if not agreeable. A few:
(1) College damages the student's "forthright perception of reality."—of personal observation—by substituting the authority of books, of "authorities," of tradition.
(2) The gang life inevitable in fraternities or rooming houses smashes the student's personal individuality, makes him become a slave of the group in matters of taste, prejudice, attitude, and the like.
(3) The two to three thousand dollars necessary to complete work for a degree could much better be spent in launching the student in the business or industrial field he will follow later. College does not help one to make money. Surveys which show that the average college graduate makes more than the average high school graduate may be explained by the act that the average college graduate has more to start with in the first place, in the way of family prestige and finances.
(4) The four years spent in college isolates the student from his home—or any other—community, breaks the ties he formerly had at hat community, so that it is harder to establish business and social contacts after graduation.
(5) Most important of all, "higher education" of itself wasasted on the average student. Such students should be kept out of college so that those who really profit by such specialized training may have a better chance.
"The class rooms are jammed, the taxpayers burdened, with Jimmies (average college students). They come in droves to strew the camps with cigarette butts, to join fraternities, to make the teams, to neck with the girls, to do not much drinking, not much crapshooting but to have grand bull sessions, stage mighty cranks, leave with splendid memories. And—was about to foretreat—for degrees!
"The college yearns to be educational and can't—because of the mass of students there who ought not to be there"
"College cannot educate these young animals. Literature rolls off them like water off a new automobile. Science entices them a little way. But they know all the secrets of life already. The particularities and precisions of scholarly research excite their humor and connett. The classroom irks them heartily."
So says Mr. Carroll, anyway.
We Recognize Initiative
During the past two or three years, the Kansan has spasmodically emitted a vigorous ripe against the condition of the men's athletic field. Because of a dangerous slope on the field, and because the slope itself was not smooth, several intramural contestants have ended a night of touch football in the hospital with a broken arm or leg.
The grade offered unequal advantages to he teams playing, and the team going downstill always happened to be the team displaying he offensive. These conditions made for injury both the players and the spirit of competition.
This summer, the Men's Student Council recognized the unsuitability of the field and made a grant of $1200 to start improvements. A. Russell, of the engineering school was put
in charge of the repairs, and predicts that the field will be leveled and filled in by the beginning of the touch football season. A WPA grant is being sought to complete the project.
To the Men's Student Council, for donating $1200 to the work, for unselfly taking the matter into its own hands and beginning repairs, for the advancement of physical culture, and for the elimination of unnecessary injuries on the athletic field, goes the Kansan's September award for school spirit.

HE OBJECTS
Saturday four members of the Men's Student Council and Dean Henry. Werner will choose the student president, and I will select me. I know only three personally I believe any of the three I know are capable of handling the duties of the men.
Editor. Daily Kansan
There is one candidate, however, who is believed to stand the best chance of getting the job. This candidate already has had two years of his college life financed by easy University jobs.
For one year he held the position of Jayhawk business manager, which pays, estimating conservatively, $4 a month. He joined M.S.C. in Union, paying about $70 per month. I object to one man getting all the gravity. I believe there are four other students on the M.S.C. list, each of whom is shooting at the JAYHawk JOB, who have a bet-on the position.
One Who Is Fair
HE WONDERS HOW
HE WONDERS HOW
May I say at the outset that I enjoy the Kansan and all that it prints. But right now I would like to "take you up" on your editorial, "After Enrollment, Then What?" which appeared in my Sept. 20 issue.
I agree with your discussion of the bookworm, the ideal student, and your concluding paragraph.
What about the former high school boy, now a freshman, who is used to good grades and numerous activities, but who finds it necessary to work for his living? What about the former college student, who has a glorious high school career, but nevertheless I can't stay in school as I work. So my day is filled with over four hours of work, a reduced class schedule, and, of course, my own study.
Dear Kansan, what, oh what, can an ambitious working boy accomplish in the field of outside activities? How can he, so you say, "GET STARTED!" when all his parents are earning money so that he can go to school and study?
A Freshman
I'll be looking for an answer!
Editor's Note: The Kanas will welcome any similar expressions of student opinion, or any practical solutions to "A Freshman's problem, as presented above Send your letters to the Editor care of "Campus Opinion."
