Comment
Owls Can't See in the Light
It has long been the politician's prerogative, even, in many instances, his duty to put in the worst light the actions of his opponent. If he is clever enough to make people see his opponent's actions in that light he is successful. The current Sour Owl's attack on the national administration through the CSEP is an abortive attempt at subtlety. It would convince us that in CSEP there is considerable graft, many "non-working workers," a hundred or more unprofitable assignments, and a means to a political end. It does not convince us. The Sour Owl is not a good politician.
Sour Owl's number one point is that the monetary allotment to the University of Kansas for CSEP purposes jumped 50 per cent this year. That's right. Sour Owl's number one inference concealed by another statement, is that the increased quota was made to garner more Middle West votes for the Democrats. That's wrong. It claims that the country and, especially the Middle West, is almost out of the depression because there is almost a universal increase in college enrollments. That's doubtful logic. The facts are 1. NYA administrators in nine middle west states met this year at Maryville, Mo., to frame and send an appeal for the 50 per cent quota increase to the administration. The administration did not take the initial step. 2. The almost universal increase in college enrollment is due almost entirely to CSEP. It is not due, as the Sour Owl insists, to returning prosperity.
Sour Owl's freshman authority declares further that, in contrast to the 1933 conditions, now there are many, CSEP jobs that have no conceivable value ... that "CSEP workers are as useful to certain professors as a mine-graphing machine would be to a hermit." The Sour Owl has no authority but its own for that statement. A survey would show that the local administration adheres strictly to the provision requiring only useful assignments. Sour Owl men cannot conceive of any value in such assignments as the study of how people use their leisure time, the growth of the chain store movement in Lawrence, the further classification of insects, the study of the habits of a Mexican rentle. But Sour Owl men's experience and sympathies may be limited.
Sour Owl charges that many students on CSEP do no more work than to fill out their time sheets. The evidence it has to prove the charge is a photograph of an empty chair and a drawing by the Sour Owl artist showing a worker loafing. The local CSEP administrators make every effort to see that all CSEP students work for their pay. There are some who don't. They are discharged when the CSEP office learns that they are soldiering on the job. It is the duty of the department supervisors to submit reports on the work of their CSEP beers. Inefficiency is rarely overlooked.
Sour Owl sums up the local difficulties as "minor faults" and comments about "what a serious disgrace it must be elsewhere." Sour Owl didn't check "elsewhere."
It's just good sense to consider an institution which makes possible a higher education for hundreds of students, keeps hundred of young people off the roads, and provides hundreds the means of social betterment a sound institution . . . politics or no.

On These Cold Nights, Too
The time was, not so many years ago, when Kansas State and the University met on the gridiron, the big day was preceded by whitewashings, headshavings and general hellrais-ings.
In the course of such over-exuberance, it was not seldom that property was destroyed and students injured. In general, nothing of benefit ever resulted from this unorthodox conflict. So in 1929, the student governing bodies of the two schools got together and outlawed such goings on—and the Wildcat and the Jayhawk were supposed to lay down together in peace.
Of course, someone immediately broke the truce. In fact, it has been broken several times—and present attitudes and indications point to the fact that it will, or is expected to be broken again this year.
And so to show that University of Kansas students will do or die for dear old-good-old sweet-old, alma mater, paddle-armed freshmen will be lined up around Uncle Jimmie Green to protect his bronze dignity from these bad, bad boys of Manhattan.
Perhaps it is a good way to use up paddles and freshmen, but it would be more sensible to expend the energy in enforcing the more sensible mutual agreement on those sections of the student body who let their so-called school spirit result in exhibitionism and sadistic desires to raise any particular or general brand of hell.
We admit it's fun, but is it worth the trouble?

Editor Daily Kansan
The controversy which has appeared in the Campus Opinion column is fundamentally an issue over substitution of athletes. It is evident that the university has formally after substitution has been formally put into operation. It is a timely subject, this matter of substitution of athletes for every sport, good advice on how to deal with them have taken it over. The "die-hards" know not that amateurism is dead as the time-worn phrase "good at bad at" describes the situation in football. At least so far as college football is concerned. The Big Six is one of the conferences that have a strong interest and of all those schools in the Big Six, Kansas seems to be the only one which is conforming. Kansas should not allow her to play while she is keeping; instead, she should get into the trend of things and do the same thing that the rest of the Big Six does.
Modern football in the universities of today is a big business and should be conducted on the same grounds and principles. A good football team is the best advertising that a university can have, and it behooves that they be well-funded. This can be done by resorting to subsidisation. A good football team is like a good investment. It pays dividends.

Editor Daily Kansan:
If the last forum is to be taken as an indication of policy, it would appear that the Student Council is becoming almost too generalist for a democratic party and socialists. The Communist party is hoping to inveigle the Socialist party into forming the equivalent of the Populist Front or the National Socialist Party in Labor party for this purpose. This Farmer-Labor party was represented in the recent forum to move unbalance to the Left, it was the case in the majority
This week's program (presented by the Student Council, and sponsored by the American Student Union) was entitled "Making a difference with no candidates for the presidency or vice-presidency of this country, and no candidates for any offends whatever in Kansas or in any of the neighboring states," was given must-read material. In response to discussion at this first all-student forum was distressingly curtured. By eliminating the advertising preview of Kansas University students could not possibly vote, the organizers of the meeting might have lengthened considerably the time for free discussion, and expectations fostered in the inexperienced by its title.

Editor Daily Kansan;
Boulby, John. *The criticism of the coaches*, the team. New York: The criticism of the coaches, the team. The kind of game the boys have been playing, and school spirit, has died down. L, T. H has attacked the kind of music played by the T. band.
Perhaps L. T. has not been here long enough to remember the old band in the conventional "nosteros" album, which consisted of were 25 and sometimes three were 40 playing in the band. They matched "after a fashion," and played "Boycott."
If that's what I. Wants, let him go back to his high school for it. I'll take the band as it is today.
Wouldn't the boys in their gold-braided, brass buttoned sledden of crimson and blue look just as bright as the ones in the game, such as the one they gave between halves at the game last Saturday to the tune of "Yankee Doodle" or "The Monkey Business," places in the stands and play such tunes as "Hail Hault the Gang's All Here," in a manner baffling little boys
Russel L. Wiley is to be highly commended for the band as it is now organized and for the rapid progress that has been made in the past two years. He is also the principal of the company he self-deserves the highest of praise for their co-operation. And as for the symphonies and concert hall arrangements, they have brought high recognition to the band.
It is agreed that symphonic arrangements are not exactly the appropriate thing to be played for a spectacle. In the past, performances played at the game had Saturday were far less elaborate than those which might have been played. Give the band and the director a little more time and a little less cristerness in a style that would make even a wooden indian drummer laugh.

Charles Allen, c'40: "Landon, I'll vote for him mainly because I don't like Roosevelt's relief policy, and that's a way to vote against it."
