CHRISTMAS
Nearly two thousand years ago, a child was born whose birth we still celebrate. It is needless to mention that the child was Christ. No other day is so widely celebrated as this one day.
It is rather inconsistent with the ideals of Christmas that the world will greet the coming Christmas with war and hatred and corruption. Two Christian nations are now engaged in actual warfare. All over the world hatred and mistrust is rife. The true spirit of Christmas cannot be celebrated in such an environment. There may be an outward peace but it is only a mere cessation or postponement of hostilities.
The picture of the modern Christmas is rather confused and disconnected. On one hand we see elaborate preparations, ostentatiously for helping the poor, and on the other hand we see the same poor getting robbed outrageously by their supposed benefactors. There will be much talk about peace on earth, good will unto men, but the Italian's guns will sound just as loud to the Ethiopians as they ever did.
In spite of all these forbidding elements there are conditions which brighten the situation. All are not Scrooges, there are some Tiny Tins. The very fact that Christmas is so widely known and celebrated fills us with hope. In time to come, perhaps the world may arrive at the point where Christmas is celebrated in the true spirit and its ideals and standards will be the guiding light of all.
After Italy's war on Ethiopia, we expect to hear that Carrera has been signed to fight Shirley Temple—Philadelphia Inquirer.
Another slogan that might make a hit would be "no college professors to use the country as a guinea pig to experiment on."—Cincinnati Enquirer.
HOMECOMING DAY
At a recent meeting of the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council, the organization went on record as opposing the scheduling of the annual Kansas-Missouri football game on Thanksgiving day in 1837. The latest issue of the Graduate Magazine contained an editorial along the same line. The Graduate Magazine goes on to present a way to settle the question. According to the editorial, the Missouri officials and student body want to have the game on Thanksgiving day. The small number of students who were present at the Hobo day celebration held here, the day before the Kansas-Missouri game, seems to indicate that student opinion on this campus is opposed to having the game on Turkey day.
The plan offered by the Graduate Magazine seems to be a reasonable and sensible one. Due to the variance in opinion about the game on the two campuses, the writer suggests that when the game is to be played at Columbia, it should be scheduled for Thanksgiving day but when it is to be played at Lawrence, the preceding Saturday would suit the students of Kansas University better than the present arrangement.
It appears that Kansas University students want to go home for Thanksgiving, rather than stay and attend the Missouri game. To quote the Graduate Magazine, "Some fraternities and sororites report fairly good crowds of alumni back for pre-game lunch, others were not crowded. Some were embarrassed by the small number of students on hand to welcome the returning alumni." When one condition as this exists, it is very evident that placing Homecoming day on Thanksgiving disagrees with not only the students but also the alumni. The family gatherings and feasts hold more attraction than the traditional battle between Jayhawk and Tiger.
The officials of the athletic department would
do well to consider the Graduate Magazine's plan before definitely scheduling the 1937 Kansas-Missouri game. Such a plan would seem to injure a larger crowd for Homecoming and more sheckles spent for the game, which, from all appearances, is the goal of the athletic department.

EARMARKS OF A PUNK PROFESSOR
In answer to questions published in the *Toxon*, between narrowing a "grape path," were coded to make it easier to remember.
He reckets his lecture notes, or else he lectures the first in a sleep-conductive monotone. His conciliation is cloudy, and his utterances down in his chair the entire period, oblivious to the diction of the class to his efforts.
To make matters worse, his clothes are uncompetent and he has bullied him. He elaborates on the obvious in each section as to make it difficult to understand. His lectures and class presentations show a lack of organization and planning, and be true to impress the class with sizzling words that mean nothing to the average student. He hasn't enough wit to make the most beautiful girl single. His stories, if any, are pointless.
An uncontrollable temper is one of his weaknesses, and to answer questions by making the impulper feel like a guilty waiting for choice. His case on justice is a case of impulse disconnection at all, and he is held at argument or opposition.
He creates a series of outlined lectures year after year, in such a manner as to make them become a professional recitation rather than an intelligent presentation or interpretation of facts. He gives extra-long assignments over the week-end, and two fine final exams including final grades on recurring final examinations.
This proficient engages in riding rather than in helping poor or ill-mediated students, and gives the impression of knowing everything when really he knows very little about anything except the course he is teaching. He would rather come to class than give a walk, even if he were on his death bed.
He uses profuse language in clues to emphasize points which he hasn't made clear in the ordinary routine. He is unable to get his subject over to the class, and expecting a certain amount of inevitable failures, maps out his work accordingly. He gives third question marks on the exam to indicate a matter of personal disagreement as a student's grade.
He is no wrapped up in the writing of a book or in personal research that he cannot find time for student conferences, and regards his teaching duties as a hero. Consequently, he does not make a telling effort to make his classes lively or interesting. He neglects the teaching of his subject for its study entirely.
The punk professor has these and other faults. But the main thing is that he is incompetent. This, however, should not be a matter of student observation entirely. Some students like prepare language in class and free time to practice it on their professors is telling them something they can take notes on and memorize for quizzes.
The point is, that there are some prerequis whose ability to teach is not up to the standard of a great university. While an adequate salary scale is a necessary precondition for good professions, and the university operates with too low a salary scale, it nevertheless important that the abilities or inclinations of the graduate students be to have a high-crating faculty, it is necessary that we be able to distinguish the ones from the scouts within our own ranks.
This is a job too big or too disgraceful for a departmental chairman, a clear, or a class of students. This should be the task of an efficient personnel administration, something that the university does not have.

MIDNIGHT NOISE MAKERS ARE PRODUCT OF MAN'S INVENTION
A failing clothes hanger can make more noise at two o'clock in the morning than a corps of riveters. Man is小易ly personified when he tries nobly to pull off his slippery suit. The ordinary hangers supplied by his local cleaner. They will invariably clatter off to disturb the sleeping—which often proves embarrassing to all concern. We shall consider the origin and history of them, as we do with our own duties to some men's happiness."
With the civilization of man came the desire for clothing with the desire for clothes clothing the desire for clothes hungers—thus we have the modern cen-
"The first clothes hanger was probably the limb of a tree upon which an animal skin or cloth loin hung while the owner took a much needed bath in it. The person offered no problem to the user. If he happened to knock this clothes hanger over in the dark no one would complain but the birds. But man along with his mother had to keep him warm; happens to disturb a clothes hanger now, he finds a whole family on his neck.
The Eerie Silence of Dawn Is Shattered by Bits of Twisted
The next stage in gradual development of the clothes retainer was the simple wooden peg stuck in the wall. This type was popular about the time that knightlord was in 'flower'. The wooden peg also has a descendant in the

A direct descendant of this model hanger is the present hall tree but even this is subject to periodic knockdowns at mildheit.

How the modern human-shouler contraptions come about is still a mystery. This latest development has, of course, its good qualities in that it preserves the shape of the garment hung upon it. It can be easily overweightly overwhelmed by the noise created by a six-foot fall in the dark.
The next invention should be noiseless hanger, completely insulated with felt, or a rubber hanger that would bounce instead of boom. Also there could be the creation of a sound-proof clothes hanger where one could drop a gross of the noiseest wire hangers without disturbing a mouse in the next room.
