A NEW SPORT ON THE CAMPUS
When the pre-enrollment system proposed by the Men's Student Council goes into effect we can tear down old Robinson gymnasium and do away with all athletics on the campus. Students will get all the exercise they will need throughout the semester trying to get enrolled for the next term.
Figure it out for yourself. First you make a dozen trips to your adviser to find out when you can consult him. Then you can make more trips to find out at what time you can get your schedule approved by the enrollment chairman. Now all this is just preliminary training. The real season's work begins when you endeavor to find the heads of the various departments in which you intend to take courses and arrange to have them approve your enrollment. In case of doubt, and your schedule needs additional corrections, the whole process starts all over again.
As for the faculty members who will be unfortunate enough to be on the enrollment committee, they can resign their positions as instructors and take up the procedure of seeing that students are placed in the proper classes. With nearly 4,000 students endeavoring to get enrolled, and each enrollment taking up possibly a half hour of the adviser's time, we cannot see where these persons are going to find time to keep up with their heavy schedules of instruction.
But it will be great fun. After you have "pre-enrolled," you can come back before school starts just the same as before to make those final last-minute changes that have a habit of arising. Think of the fun you will have with three or four days of nothing to do but run down various authorities to aid in re-arranging your program.
No more proselyting of athletes, no more accusations of subsidization. All this will be gone when we have our new enrollment system. Athletics will be back again with the student body, and each and every one shall be a glowing picture of health brought about by the wholesome exercise of dashing about the campus in search of new courses for the next semester.
Prosperity has sure enough returned. Congress no longer meekly submitting to the President's every wish, the courts are daring to rule adversely on some of the administration's projects, politicians are no longer submissive. Mr. Hoover is making statements for the press, and the farmers have stopped complaining about low prices. From what we can remember of those dear dead days of '29, all these must be to prosperity what the robins are to spring.

YOUTH STANDS CONDEMNED
We almost wish that Phil Kennamer had been proven insane instead of guilty of manslaughter, and then at least one of the crimes that has been lately checked up to youth could have been erased from the books.
The very fact that Phil Kenner is sane points the accusin finger at youth, and causes us to ask the trite question of our harping ancestors, "What is this younger generation coming to?"
There was a time when we tried to explain away the crimes of youth through the unusual economic situation of the past few years. There was simply no opportunity for youth. It had vim, power and the will to do, and there was no place for it to function. Opportunity was missing. There were no new worlds to conquer. If there were any opportunities, there could not possibly be much financial success, and financial success was the measuring stick set up by society.
But Kennamer had everything that money could buy. He had success to a degree. He was born with it. He was the son of a successful parent. Our reasoning broke down in Phil Kennhamer's case. Our only hope was that the jury would find the man insane and vindicate youth of the heinous crime, but the jury has seen fit to declare that the crime was manslaughter, as the evidence showed, and youth stands condemned.
COMMENTS

W. S.G.A. EFFICIENCY
When Peg Sherwood read the bill for the introduction of a new voting system for the W.S.G.A. elections to the Council last Tuesday night, she asked the members to stop her if they failed to understand any of the long and complicated clauses. The first reading was completed with nary a question until a low-brow freshman inquired, "What is the name of this system?" The women looked perplexed. No one knew. They had heard of it sometime in an American government class. Anyway, they weren't supposed to know. Professor Maddux had written and exchanged notes to the same guest he call him. The meeting adjourned with the sage words of one of the members, "Well, let's not call it the same as the men's or the Kanran will say we are 'just copying the M.S.C. again.'"
"TAKE A BOW, K.U."
The Kansas City Star quotes the Pleasanton Observer-Enterprise in praise of the superior behavior of our men's glee club and we re-quote because it is evidence that there is hope *or* this "Wild, rowdy" University:
"We heard one business man say Tuesday afternoon that he had never seen a more mannerly or better behaved bunch of boys that comprised the men's glee club of Lawrence, who were with us most of the afternoon Tuesday and who rendered their program in the high school auditorium that evening. Each and every one of them conducted himself as a gentleman, and all devoid of the high-hat attitude taken by some such aggregations when they find themselves in a smaller town than they are used to."
Cunningham finds more records to break every week and more new awards to receive. He is called "king of the milers," the "the Kansas flash," and "the sturdy, barrel-chested miler," but the crowning tribute is that he is known to millions of sport fans as simply "Glen."
CUNNINGHAM'S TITLE
During the past few months I have encountered such various opinions regarding the purpose and "stuff" of the dance that I thought I might presume to send you my ideas because I can't meet every questioner in private. If, after the publication of this monograph, there are those who want to pursue the dance further, I am pleased to acknowledge them within the limits of my modest time budget.
We have been told that the Jayhawker staff is living in mortal fear that it will be the object of the next attack by the police, and would like to about it, but if they are afraid, it would not be a bad idea to find out why they are afraid.

has not danced doesn't always realize, namely special physical adaptability re-inforced by hard work.
Dancing requires strength, precision, split-second timing and a degree of coordination that can be developed only through constant practice. What the seaptor sees as apparent ease, "grace," lightness, or what-have-you is the result of hours of work on body building exercises, form and shading. It is made of the same ingredients that make physical achievement possible in competitive athletic tumbling, horse-back riding, or swimming. It necessitates primarily keen kinemathetic perception plus accurate neuro-muscular coordination on the part of the performer. This aptness in the individual makes him enjoy using his body because his body is highly responsive, so it follows that persons so endowed turn to athletics and pursuits of like nature for the satisfaction of an impulse that is natural and insistent since the child's first experience of competition have been trained on the basis of competitive aggression, athletic contests have become an adulated and legitimate expression for man's interest in his physical self.

sould like to point out the fact that as the race has progressed and raised itself beyond the necessity of spending all its time with the business of wrestling a living from nature, there has arisen a need for some further outlet of mankind in order to answer to that need. Sculptors, painters, musicians, authors, architects have long been recognized as belonging to the artist class because

they spent their lives creating ideas and fashioning forms which gave pleasure and inspiration not only to them themselves but to other people. Each such artist was designated as a sculptor, painter, etc., according to the tools or instruments which he employed in giving shape to his ideas. So when an individual with an art impulse possesses a body of sufficient responsiveness it is normal that he should choose that body as his instrument for expression.

He then becomes a dance artist.
In the light of this analysis the male dancer is just as natural and as reasonable a phenomenon as either the athlete or the artist. He is a combination. Moreover if his contribution to art is to be vital he must dance ideas that spring from male interests and attitudes. Unfortunately the decadent dance of the past century was so surrounded with coctail, deer, and the luxury-loving demand of court life that it became merely the means of allure and those men who practiced it employed the same technic as the women. It is small wonder that men recolt from the sight of a muscular male deporting himself
It is against just such nonsense as this that a few modern leaders have asserted themselves to restore male dancing to the aristocratic heritage it enjoys in many foreign countries end always enjoyed in classical Greece. Their insurgency has caused far-designed physical educators to recognize more and more the value of the art element in their field. As a result, the modern dance movement has both taught us a step forward in an educational ideal that sees in exercise something more than posture, perspiration, and peristalsis.

THE BELL SYSTEM AT A GLANCE
How a nation-wide telephone network is organized
The Bell System is big, but its organization is not complex.
The A.T. & T. is parent company, service and research organization, and financial headquarters of the System. It owns Western Electric, which buys and manufacturers for the System at prices about a fourth below the prices of similar equipment in the competitive market. Jointly with Western, it owns Bell Laboratories, where science constantly seeks better and cheaper methods of giving you telephone service.
It owns more than 90 per cent of the voting stock of the 24 associated companies (of which the Southwestern Company is one) and it operates the long distance trunk lines linking the territories of these companies. Its staff carries on for these companies a constant search for more economical ways to give good telephone service.
Each part of the organization exists because the function it performs is essential to the job of giving good telephone service at fair cost to you.
