SLIPSTICK
"Slipstick" football, otherwise known as a "stupendous brain-child," seems to be a new sport on the campus. The engineering students are getting tired of the traditional sports and are trying to invent something new.
The Intramural Carnival Friday night is in danger of being honored by the presence of this new and curious sport. If a ball a yard in diameter can be found it will be used. We do not know how the game is to be played—neither do the engineers.
Having a Carnival with sports and stunts, followed by the awarding of trophies, and then a two hour I-M Shuffle is not enough for engineers. They crave excitement.
Many organized houses have entered one hundred per cent into the activities of the Carnival, and whole-hearted support is being extended by the students. With the "strenuous" aid of the engineers, especially the two organized houses, who like to challenge, the Carnival should be a popular event.
STRAW MEN THAT TALK
The recent choruses of disapproval from students, directed at the Kansan's policy of attempting to aid in constructive reformation of student government, might call the comment from us: since when did灌 men become so vocal?
Criticism from some quarters has accused the Kansan of unfairness toward the new League. In reply, it may be repeated that support will not be forthcoming on the basis of new names for old parties. Again to repeat, what the Kansan wants to see is the elimination of petty politics from student government.
Lack of comment on the Pachacamac party has been directly the result of that party's apparent indecision. Until they make themselves known, until they outline their purposes and objectives in the coming campaign, we are of course unwilling to indicate where we stand in relation to their program.
To the few who look hopefully to the Kansan as a possible rescuer from petty politics in student government, it wants to reassert its independence. Its functions do not include backslapping any party, or starting one on its own authority.
AMAZONS OR LADIES?
The Kansas City Star gave a lot of space the other day to the new regulation with regard to stags at the mid-week dances. The idea strikes us as being a concession more to the restrictions of space, since the Memorial Union is only so large, than any breaking down of masculine resistance. In short, those who interpret the move as constituting a threat to the position of men are false interpreters.
Bear in mind that most men students go at all to the "rat races" just to please the willful lady, clearly indicating no domination on the part of women. Again, recollect that sometimes in order to get space to dance, couples go outside on the walk, or in the street, either of which is less hazardous than the regulation dance floor on a popular night. So, to make things idier, the men decided to eliminate some of their number to make the sailing safer for the partner.
Of course it does make the choosin' safer too, but then whoever thought the ladies go for any such purposes? Besides, all those thousands of stags not admitted will want to know "who was there and with whom," and that makes for popularity. The men have decided on the change, whatever you say, and that's that.
Pet peeve: the professor who says he's dismissed the class early and when the class gets up to go the whistle blows.
LOVE ME. LOVE MY DOG
Back-sagging, leaven-covered, slammerskin-looking dogs are the most recent super - sophisticated campus hobby. Each elate co-ed and every jargon male woshippee must be pursued by some species of dog-mongrel. Jaspers, Trays, and Brunos are housed in abundance in the halls of higher learning. Dog-abhorrors become afflicted—adversely—when hours of concentrated study are disrupted by unexpected puppy-laps and various sundry dog-greetings, or perhaps, by a tribe of wanton, sad dogs sprawled leisurely under library tables.
We Polish Apples
Editor's note: The Kanan will present in this column thumbnail sketches of the members of the faculty.
Professor Howey first started his teaching in Hollywood, Calif., in a boys' school. In 1929 he came to the University.
Professor Howey can be viewed any day along the campus, but all must look twice to be sure that he professor and not one of the boys.
He received his early education in the schools of Carthage, South Dakota, and then went to the University of South Dakota for two years, and on to Harvard for two more years, where he received his Bachelor's degree from the University Master's degree from the University of Southern California.
When anyone wants to interview a professor on some problem of economics, particularly dealing with the depression, inflation, and the gold question, Howey is always ready to help. This is evidenced by the frequency with which he is quoted.
Campus Opinion
Wilson Duffy, President
Editor Dailv Kansan:
For years the two political parties have been fighting, not for an opportunity to do something for the students but to get into power and get their friends there. They have put up almost nothing in the way of platform politics, but they have come into effect these insignificant promises. Most of their mighty deliberations, when in power, have been about the purchasing of keys, the letting of parking licenses, the trials of their cohorts accused of election fraud, the preservation of outworn traditions, the election of members to replace those of their number declared ineligible. Never have they attempted to be representative in any real sense. And most certainly not reflective of student opinion. Instead they have needed care of intelligent, carefully weighed student thinking, they have tried to educate us in graft, in big town politics, and in rotten elections.
The crying need of the campus is a bit of idealism tempered with its practical politics. Student government needs to function if it is to justify its own existence. First we advocate a forum platform sponsored and conducted by the student councils. At most of these meetings the platform would be thrown open to all students. There any student in a five or ten minute talk could voice any objection he had to the many things that were being "run" and done in the course. In turn he in to give statements of the faculty's viewpoint on most student questions. This forum would act as a sort of sounding board or thermometer of

student opinion for the student councils. There the councils could see what the students were clamoring and "griping" about and would hope no excuse for not acting in accordance with student opinion. Now all they need is deny that they should opt out of anything opinion eams to arouse the students to what is going on and create an active student interest hitherto unknown.
And as a supplement to the foregoing open forum program the council could at various times bring well known men to the campus to speak on current questions of wide interest (politics, peace, vice, sex, etc). This would give flexibility to a now rather rigid convocations program. The men invited would be in a room to close their ideas to be politic. They could talk on vital, pressing questions in straightforward language, and the students would have an opportunity to question them in like style. When something new came up, as did Technocracy a year or so ago, the council could bring its chief here, and let us hear the development first hand instead of forcing us to get our information from the misleading garbled newspaper accounts. Thus we could get a truer, more accurate response on around us. Such a program would not ignore campus problems nor would it lose itself in them. It would give the students a perspective they solely need and one which a narrow, partisan government will not or dares not give them.

Always a Big Bargain Show
It is rumored about the campus that a number of girls are not going to give the new form of petitioning for officers even a chance to show what it can do. Is it fair for the Women's Self Governance Association to work for a more
democratic system and receive utterly no response from the women students? It is hard to believe that the girls do not want representation, but if they do—where, oh where are their candidates?
