TEXT-BOOK TEACHERS
A serious indictment of modern educational systems was made recently by the University of Chicago student who graduated from that University with a degree of bachelor of arts after only twenty months of study, when he gave as his reason for cutting classes so frequently—"It's foolish to listen to lectures by teachers when the same material could be gained more easily by merely reading the text and a few other books."
Granting the truth that he is probably exceptional and not a good example upon which to base a general rule, the fact still remains that he pointed out a defect that is often found in college and university teachers. There may be some students who need this daily rehash of the last assignment, but that does not mean that lectures of professors and instructors should add nothing to the knowledge of the average student beyond which intelligent reading could have given him.
Education more than any other line should keep up with the ever changing times. Every course of study can widen its scope daily—even hourly.
Why call it spooning when it's nothing more than mewing and cooling?
THE RIGHTS OF MAN
The women are so afraid they will get their little toes trampled on. The men are so afraid their masculine dignity and importance might be lowered if they were to associate with the girls in an effort to get together in a combined council and work out mutual problems.
There is no reason why sane men and women, supposedly intelligent college students, cannot understand each other's problems and combine in an effort to make the best government possible on the Hill, instead of blundering along, fighting each other, and being so afraid of getting rights or honor lowered a bit that they are constantly battling each other and overlooking the main reason for office in the Student Council, which is the running of student government affairs.
As long as petty personal disagreements are in the way, there will be no worthy student government. If men and women cannot overlook these they are not sufficiently intelligent to manage anything, least of all the governmental affairs of a large student body.
When the men and women are represented by a single, combined student council, one that can work together and not at cross purposes, where each side has a chance to present its own problems, only then will government be really representative and worth while. The only possible excuse for more than one council is the
desire for fulfillment of selfish desires. A really good council has to work together and know all the problems, not just those of one part of the students. Until then, little of worth can be accomplished.

Editor's note: The Kansan will present in this column thumb-nail sketches of the members of the faculty.
Miss Ruth Hoover
Paradoxical as it may seem, there is one professor on the Hill who admits that her hobbies are identical with her profession. Miss Hoover's hobby was tennis until last year, and she was a teacher for five years which has been running a close second as her favorite sport along with swimming.
Miss Hoover did her undergraduate work at the University of Illinois, and received her Master's degree from Columbia University, New York. She was a member of the Columbia University hockey team, and was selected as left halfback on the second All-American hockey team at the university. The American hockey tournament held at Wellesley in 1921.
Immediately after her graduation from Columbia University in 1921, Miss Hoover began teaching at Kansas. In 1923 she founded Quack Club, the women's swimming organization. She has been particularly interested in promoting the rating of hockey and basketball officials. During the summers she has attended University of Wisconsin and also attended Wesleyan. Weinman, Wisconsin. University students admire her as an all-around sport, and regard her as a model athlete.
DANCING FOR MEN
Syracuse Daily Orange
"Step! One, two. Slide! One, two!" instead of "One, two, bend! One, two, stretch!" After all, why not? Let's sublimate dance classes for the compulsory gym that freshman and sophomore men must grin and bear. Annapolis and West Point require it—and what's more it's enjoyed there.
No one gainsay the social importance of good dancing. Instruction would mean assurance and freedom from embarrassment for the uninitiated. The students themselves would be more interested in dancing well than in playing computer games, avoiding trouble and trying through shows to be ready for the next class.
Athletes are popular—but not so popular as the man with a smooth dance step. It's something that the average athlete does. Give him a chance—he can use it.

One in the locality went riding to the hounds on Wednesday merely for the reason that the dust prevented them from yelling "Talibyo!"
One of the best "dust" stories of the week is the one told by a farmer from south of town. He said there was dust in the eggs he broke to fly for breakfast. Saturday morning—Russell Record.

CAMPUS OPINION
The editorial in the Kaunda Sunday entitled "A Peace Strike—Fool's Gesture" was very unfair and one-sided. In a long article bristling with jeering words, the writer tried to create the impression that mass meetings are always deceptive. Dashnai has never attended a football only or a Hobo Day fun-fest!
ditor Daily Kansan:
The writer fails to develop any logical proof that peace strikes are so ineffectual. He says that the pacifists would

THE FOOLSCAP ROSE by Joseph Her-

More and more of the latest novels are concerned with the growing of the family, as a whole. "The Folks" was the best seller to begin the craze in earnest and now it is beginning to get a little stale.
Hergesheimer his new one is another with the background of a generation on two, with a paper milt to occupy their attention. Lovers of his direct, hair style will still be in his following after which he adds—a collection of short related stories.
His local color and language ft his subject matter; he really does a good job with the material in hand.

George Russell (paedonym AE) is one of the leaders in the newer Celtic school of poetry, revived in an effort to begin the old culture of the land anew. His "House of the Titan" is a revision of an old myth for contemporary usage, and the volume contains a number of other shorter poems.

As with most pets, there is a good deal that isn't far above par. But there are many lovely touches all through the first poem and several very fine shorter ones. They are rather simply and occasionally very delicately written.
