TWENTY YEARS AFTER
Who better could paint the picture of "Twenty Years After" than a man who has the honor of being one of England's most distinguished journalists?
The uprising of Europe, the eclipse of Democracy, the agitation and secret rebellion of Germany under Hitler, and many other affairs of national interest are fully understood by S. K. Rattcliffe, who will lecture here at the University Thursday evening. From every angle Mr. Rattcliffe has been able to watch the rise of the leaders of contemporary European history in his work as an English newspaper editor in India, and as an editorial writer in London.
Thursday evening Mr. Ratzleff hopes to explain his views of the European situation in an attempt to-bring a better -understanding of the other nations of the world in the minds of the students.
ANOTHER TEA PARTY?
Recently the Kansan suggested the creation of a board for student grievances whose function would be to afford a legalized channel of complaint between students and the Administration. We were not "set" on the idea, but advanced it as a possibility helpful in the appropriation of all worthwhile suggestions coming from sincerely critical students.
Since then governing bodies have met and failed to take notice of the suggestion, whether deliberately or not. We had hoped the student governors would consider the plan, discuss it, and offer some comment showing where they stood. But after all, maybe that is asking for too much; maybe the legislators were occupied with their financial reports.
In this so busy world of conventions and tees, we still think a plan can be worked out to provide for a student committee to hear student grievances. We are not preoccupied with the notion of the grievences board, just anxious to see the thing tried.
SPECTATORS, NOT SPORTS?
The charge has often bee made that Americans do not care to participate actively in sports. We are told that we are a people who like to sit up in the gallery and get our thrills second-hand while expert and courageous professional athletes (true of the University also) give a scientific exhibition of their prowess.
The recent cold weather prior to and during the final examinations rather confirmed those charges. On Potter lake during the around-zero weather, one might rightfully have expected to see gay groups of college men and women ice-skating. Instead, the little lake was deserted most of the time except for a few town boys and girls too young to be super-sophisticated.
Some students will immediately
Other students will say that we are dead game sports because the University of Kansas has one of the most extensive intramural programs in the United States. This fact merely illustrates, however, our American love of belonging to something big. Probably every student on the Hill has at some time or other spent a strenuous week pitching horseshoes for dear old Fi Loo, but how many of us get out and play some game in our spare time for the pure fun of it? Are we Kansans just spectators in the realm of sports?
COMMENTS
-By the Editor
BUSINESS IN BOOING
If the right to boat at an athletic contest were denied the spectators, many would not go to the games. Some moronic individuals take greater pleasure in adding to the discomfort of players and officials by hissing and booing than they do in watching the sport itself. Such degradation is catching, and it is not hard to turn a perfectly polite and courteous crowd into a mob of howling gallery-ites such as are seen in the fifty cent seats at prize fights.
Kansans should take precautions against building up a spirit like that of Nebraska. One of the favorable impressions Kansan always leaves with visitors is its genuine sportmanship and courtesy. The loss of this reputation would be a loss that the University could no stand.
CAMPUS ACTIVITY
Activities are practically stumblin over one another of the campus the semester. Many organizations have projects to be worked out and others are busy creating new ones. W.S.G.A. has started the ball rolling toward cleaning up the dormitories in a partial representation which they hope will eliminate the combine evil.
The Memorial Union operating committee has kept in line with the general progress by planning extensive improvements in the Union building.
Russell Wiley continues his successes of last semester by arranging a band festival on the campus that will bring famous band leaders, musicians, as
Steel Key is well up in the list of professional activities with their Engineers "Hall of Fame" and their education radio program.
Rumor has it that there will be something of a shake-up in men's politics this year, which certainly will not be out of place.
All in all there is considerably doing for a spring semester. There is no reason why students should not be able to find interest in extra-curricular activities.
NOTES ON MEASLES
The present measles plague is getting to be a nuisance. It is nothing more than an insult to collegiate dignity, being as measles are a children's disease. Perhaps there are those who will maintain the measles have now found their rightful field. At any rate, many of us are sitting around like condemned men waiting to see if they will strike us. If they strike us we will not seek to root in pest house. If they do not, then we will go on waiting just the same, keeping our affairs in order so that in case we are stricken we can go immediately to the hospital.

The Associated Press gives us the information that Manhattan boasts 150,000 of measles, which proves at least indirectly that Kansas University is much more grown up than the Agricultural college.

Good things to the front may offer congratulations as to the way the new Kansan threw aside the old "be kind to the birds" attitude and got right down to bed rock and opened some serious worthwhile campaigns for the reform of campus institutions. And because we liked it . . . here comes the brick . . . we're wondering why the petering out? After picking on the poor half-dead Owls who have been in the dark all these years as to their why and wherefore, couldn't you dig into anything bigger? Having sent fire into the ranks of the already hard-air-reorganization W.S.G.A.'s, couldn't you
All in the course of one communication we would offer, if we may, a bouquet, a brick, a suggestion.

shift your aim and take in the big game?
In other words . . . and herein we suggest . . . why not pay some attention now to that venerable organization referred to as the Men's Student Council? To put it frankly—they need it, and we would like it.
To begin with, if there is to be a survey made of the work of this group it needs must be started quickly, for there looms already the approach of that always dreaded period of spring known as "the campaign-time." Campaigns in the past have been hot and bloody, to say the least, and certainly no student publication could carry on in the midst of one.
Of course, the old order passes and things may be different. No more do we have the smart political bosses of recent years. The student of politics might easily find in the history of campus politics a pair of bosses who in reality compare equally with a Vare and a Pendergast. In one of them, they had a party movement of a few years ago; the other brought his party back to power to hold it there so successfully for three years single-handed. And in

each case, there ruled a most efficient boss. Phil Cook stood behind scenes while a Ripley, a Coleman, a Chaffee, and a younger Cook carried on the public attack. And a smart鸟 he was to beat the favorite old party so successive times a when, and smarter still to stay out of the limelight.
On the opposite war-front there appeared the names of a Bowen, a Hassig and a Sifers, and they carried on a battle that gathered up the remnants of the grand old party and put it back in power to stay for the last three years; but behind them was the fourth brother in Phil Delt bond who supplied the brains, the finesse, the drive which put it over. Of the two bosses, perhaps Phil McKnight was the more powerful because he stayed in control longer and because his wife the more numerous victories.
That there were others in the headlines during those years is true . . . there were even council presidents, a Strobel, a Denton, a Schumacher, and a Riesen. For after all those two bosses, the Phils, accepted some of the franking privileges but were too smart to take all public control. And so there's some history. Mr. Russell can draw some conclusions as to the present top-heavy set-up in men's political circles, we're most happy to have been of assistance. At least we've seen some of your fire; let's have some here.
Yours for more reform.
