PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1936 Comment Provide the Spark A farm bay, a University of Kansas football star, a second lieutenant in the 89th division during the World War, all A.E.F. halfback, freshman coach at the University of Kansas, head coach at the University of Oklahoma, and finally his goal, head coach at his ulma mater, the University of Kansas—it sounds like a Horatio Alger tale but it is the actual career of Adrian H. "Ad" Lindsey, head football coach of the University. A graduate from the University of Pittsburgh, in 1927 picked in a tackle position on the second All-American football team and in 1929 chosen unanimously for the first All-American team, now line coach at the University of Kansas, that is the story of Michael J. (Mike) Getto. "Ad" Lindsey and "Mike" Getto, head coach and assistant, the football careers of these men give us reason to believe that they have the ability to give Kansas University, her students and visiting spectators, football teams that are worthy of this institution. It is not necessary that the Jayhawkers be all-victorious every season. But it is necessary that University football teams display a brand of football that is interesting to the spectators—a game that is full of flash plays instead of the drab, draymouse play that personifies the Kansas football teams. Charges of no school spirit, no student leadership to guide school spirit have been in the air for the last few days. School spirit is here—dormant. The leaders are here but what mightgy general could lead a sleeping army to victory. Let the leaders arise the school spirit of the student body from its sleep. But then what would you have? Only faked, half-hearted school spirit. To arouse the school spirit is necessary that there be something for the students to be aroused over. School spirit must have a basis. It will spring spontaneously if there is a reason. Then and only then is the time for student leadership. Let the cheerers the K-Club, the Jay James and the KuKu club kindle higher the flames of school spirit. They cannot build it up but they can make it burn brighter once it has started. "Ad" and "Mike" can provide the necessary spark to arouse the sleeping school spirit by building a flashy, tricky team that will display modern day football even in defeat. The student body can stand the rebuff of a defeat if they have witnessed good football. But a loss is hard to take if they have sat for two hours and a half watching sluggish, uninteresting football. The setup is perfect—caches of high caliber—material that is potentially the most powerful in the Big Six—student leaders that have ability—and a student body that when it has something worth while to cheer for can display more school spirit and peep than any other such body in this part of the country. Who could ask for more? Advice to Politicians With the freshman elections coming up soon, the P.S.G.L. and the Fachacamac parties are getting their candidates polished up and their campaigns in shape to spring on the student body. Before long, the two parties will start throwing mud—so to speak—as well as the hand bills, which merely clutter up the campus. They will gloat over last year's accomplishments and outline this year's program of intended activities. The Kansas City Star recently carried a cartoon taken from the Milwaukee Journal which was headed, "School for Political Newcomers." The cartoon pictured the old schoolmaster teaching the young politicians the elementary principles; "Always attack 'Wall Street,' Blame all ourills on the Opposition; and Compliment the ladies, kiss the babies, and pass cigars to the man." It is not the promises and figures that make an impression on the public, but the adjectives in which they are dressed up in. It seems that the public is more interested in the party label attached to a statement, rather than the statement itself. The Hill politicians should take the cartoonist suggestions and slightly alter them to read: Sling as much dirt—often referred to as bull—as possible; blame all our ils on the opposition and by all means take all the credit for accomplishments in previous years; and accept the fathersy advice of the upperclassmen—take advice from one who knows. Dr. Neilyland, professor of psychiatry at Northern University, points out that the motor car drivers who took their horns unnecessarily to show displeasure when delayed in traffic are imbeciles of the first order. To this same class might possibly be added the typical neighbor who believes in the slogan "Try, try again," when he Noise From Morons Declaring that noise is produced unnecessarily only by morons, imbeciles and idiots, Dr. Clarence A. Neyland has proposed a new medical campaign slogan: "Be an imbecile and you can be noisy." This places the fellows who are always invited because they are the "life of the party" and the students who are of the opinion that the library study tables are common social centers, in an embarrassing position, especially since a moron is an individual who never attains an intellectual level above that of the normal ten-year-old child. goes out each morning before sunrise to start his car and then finally drives off racing his motor. There are also the other neighbors who think that a weekend party must be followed with a celebration at home, and the women who cluck up and down stairs in high-heeled mules, should not be overlooked.

Allen It is with much trepidation and knacking of knoeh, that I address Your Highness, Defender of the Faith against the A.A.U. But really, Fog, how can we burn our bellowers on a football team that has a second rate invitation of a bunch of broken-down brewery houses in the basement? They're almost as bad as in Main Bowes Amateur Hour. We students would be out there "dying for the cycling club" if you'd only let us see the hall once in a while instead of wrapping it up in 200 pounds of bread but we are forced to hold our noses in order to prevent complete muesees, how can we cheer? If you haven't caught on by now, Fog'll lapse into the vernacular long enough. Now, Fog. I'm no social psychologist and I've never thrown verbal trick-bats at the AAU; but I always thought that at a football game, unlike a political rally, you only cheered when there was something to cheer. So Fog pulled my hand over your neck out so far, Fog, why don't you go down and brush some of the columbes out of Ad Llennard's head; Very truly yours. Greg Hines Editor Daily Kansan: The athletic department asks where the school's softball team is located. This institution when we out having football teams Really, now isn't it time we forget the SIHOVE FOOTBALL and played a few tricks on our opponents. Maybe just one lateral would help. We wouldn't want to take over the ball in this game. Let's stake! It's common opinion that a football game with hitters flying all over the field, win or lose, is more interesting than this continual HOLD THAT LINE. Let's play that. If we can obtain our basketball players by the recruiting method, why not form a team with our Nebraska KC, leading football player, playing against us on the Nebraska team? You say it isn't nice to recruit players. Well, after all, why shouldn't we do that? And then, the athletic department comes up with musty cracks about our school spirit. Spirits are not just a thing in sports; they are neither beaten or coated into people, there must be an incentive. We might have to have our pictures taken, our numbers filled out, our ballots registered, our land of Democrony, the athletic department must show their spirit before we will even speak to them, let alone get into a game. Editor Daily Kansani To many of us who take pride in having a presidential nominee from Kansas, a recent utterance of Mr. Hamilton, Republican national chairman, is highly disputable. In calling him "the greatest American," Mr. Hamilton demands that the president "give government investigators a free hand to rout out the alien agents of communism in this country" and further expresses the wish that his letter may "foreword you to the act" in making "an honest drive against evil." Now it is quite clear that Mr. Hamilton is not merely asking for disagreement with communist principles, a debate which he had been pressured himself. Mr. Hamilton is demanding an active persecution of Communist officials and professed memoirs of those who have been involved in this is a desirable course of action, which the president ought to follow, and which Governor London would regard as necessary. Governor Leonard has on many occasions professed a belief in freedom of thought and of speech on political issues. He has also urged Thomas with the statement attributed to Voltaire: "I disagree with what you say, but I will fight to the death if you are wrong." That statement is unquestioned. But he now commits himself by his national chairman to an active crusade against the Communist Party in case he is elected president. We know that he has been willing to like nothing better than a campaign of terrorization against the communists, and would be sure that such a campaign was necessary, the name of "Americanism" is only a first step; it is precisely such fashion that the present rulers of Germany and Italy justify the suppression of all parties For the benefit of his supporters who believe in the right of free speech to all, as well as for his own future peace of mind, it is imperative that Governor Lamar know the published statement of Senator John E. Hankins. John E. Hankins. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN FIREWEED FORUM: The like schedule for this event has been conducted away from of injury at the Parthenia Fire Department.

Dorothy Treckell, Carolyn Bailey Bone Crushing Tactics Pursued By Former Classes As Part of Tradition By Kenneth Gracher, c'38 There was, for instance, a kick-and-hack sort of class battle royal which frigrished in the rough and a wet Scrap. This knurche-krueke little spat between the frost and sophomores was somewhat similar to the game most children know as "Capture the Flag." No blows were paused and no quarter Methods of conducting the fight were to say the least, questionable. Students of one class were often kidnapped, naked on islands in the river, handcuffed, or simply beaten to insolvency, by members of the opening group. The spirit of thing was fine, but after a few students caught pneumonia after lying out all night in the wet grass, and one unfortunate fellow was thrown all the way down Fourth Street, breaking a rather high number of bones of the teacher; this incident brought to an end by the Administration. Threw Frosh Down Stairs But the spirit of violence in the tradition would not down. Only the form changed and finally emerged as the Chapel Serap, Freshmen at chapel were accounted to sit in the balcony of what is now Fraser theater. Sophomores lurked outside, and the moment freshmen and tried to drag them outside and throw them down the stairs. Alumni who attend the University at the turn of the century tell of seeing freshmen thrown over the railing at the top of the stairs and drop twoights to the main floor below. Naturally the two rails run across this section of the sofphouse and planted a few blows of their own. On one occasion Chancellor Strong was caught in the midst of a gay, fist-wringing melee, in the lower hall of Fraser. The students were packed tighter than a well filled sardine can. But the Chancellor was a tall man and towered back and shoulders above the mass of students. He gave orders for The Roving Reporter Conducted by Steven David, Esq., c37 Question: What method of apple- polishing have you found most effective. (just pretending that you do apple-polish)? Carter Brown, "CS7: 'I won't be advised-I must put myself behind the nine ball... Or is it the eight ball?' And then I fell upon the fellow we were just pretending. Jack Schrey, U37; "Kid 'em along if you happen to be from the same section of the country as they do." Yes, Becaud was a professor from Beauhainland. Justus Belli, b38: "One should discuss with the prof only those things which he himself knows thoroughly and which he realizes the prof knows very thoroughly." The super word used to describe such a fact that he comes from New Jersey. Carroll Johnson, fa38: "Sitting in the front row—although I don't practice it myself" This fellow probably draws flattering caricatures of his profs, inadvertently leaving them where they can be seen ... Bill Doddleder, e37; "I've been tryin' since the summer of 31 to find a successful method, but to no avail." A competent apperant, after all, the summer of 31. Charles Doolittle, c. 'eumt': "Smoking cigarettes with the men prof and talking to the women prof—All this best in this way." This isn't very subtle, though. Gene Rothschild, 138: "Sincere effort- beh, beh, beh."
