THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1935 NEGROES IN ATHLETICS The Big Six is losing some of the best athletes in its territory as the result of the rules which prevent Negroes from entering athletics. Of course there are two schools in the Big Six in states that still have the old feeling toward Negroes. But even these schools could get along all right if Negroes were allowed to enter individual sports such as track, and tennis. The situation that exists could be looked upon from two angles. At the present time, in most of the Big Six schools, the Negroes attend school just as others do. They should have the right to enter sports just as the whites do. And, from the selfish viewpoint, the schools are losing some excellent athletes. Many Negroes go to bigger schools in the north and receive jobs just as the good athlete does in the Big Six. If the rules were changed it would have to be handled very delicately and diplomatically. The Negroes probably would be placed in many embarrassing positions in the more southern states. However, as people became used to the situation, things would iron themselves out. In the end it might even result in Negroes being allowed to enter all sports just as they do farther north. IT FLOATS! The good "Spirit of Democarcy" has been seen on our campus lately. And who do you suppose discovered her? The professors? No! The men? No! It was the women who found here, and it was the women who picked her up and brought her in, hoping she would like our University and stay. There has been some discussion as to what sort of entertainment "Spirit" would like. She is a shy little creature and feels a bit awed by so large an institution, she says. She has attended several sorority teas given in her honor, however, and the women all like her. Even at large社会的 evidence of her gentle but effective influence over us can be seen. Dean Husband has appointed a sort of reception committee to look after "Spirit" and see that her visit is made pleasant. Further plans for her stay have not been made public as yet. It is rumored, however, that she may like Kansas so much that she will want to enroll here and go on with her studies. Wouldn't be stars in the crowns of the women? QUALITY VS. QUANTITY Congressmen continue to worry over the fact that our standing army ranks seventeenth in size among the armies of the world. In drafting a bill for army enlargement, one congressman advanced the statement that the United States army is even smaller than that of Greece. A consideration which has been overlooked, however, is that although the United States army ranks seventeenth in size, it is first in cost. Our country has well-lodged, well-fed, and well-clothed men in its ranks. European countries, on the other hand, having obtained their men through conscription for the most part, have a low standard of living for their soldiers. In the last disarmament conference an attempt was made to reduce armies by budget rather than by men. The United States delegation objected at once, and rightly. Slashing our army through cost would make it small indeed, and leave other nations singularly unaffected. Europeans would lower their soldiers' standard of living a little more, while the size would remain practically the same. Our own army would suffer losses in morale that would severely hamper its efficiency. Fraternities Are Not Dying Indiana Daily Student "Are fraternities dying?" asks the Daily Maroon of the University of Chicago in a recent editorial, and then proceeds to answer its own question by declaring that "fraternities are not going to die out, either at the University of Chicago or elsewhere. The system is too firmly rooted in the general college system. They are and will continue to make readmissions, but under one form or another they will continue to play an important part in the life of the undergraduate, and through their organizations form a strong student and alumni group that will be a pillar of strength for the university." The Daily Maroon is correct in making such an assertion. The backbone of concentrated student action on the Indiana University campus is found in the fraternities when campus problems arise. Furthermore it probably would be ascertained, upon investigation, that a considerable number of students are involved in these problems by fraternities and sororities, which carry their rushing to high school graduates in all parts of the state during the summer vacation. A JEWELER'S PARADISE Treasurer's reports are revealing documents. A look at those from various student organization shows that a considerable amount of money is spent each year on "brass." Medals in recognition of the achievement of the degree, and in many cases this business of spending money on badges has been carried too far. Economy is another thing that should start at home, and it seems as if some of the organizations that have been hampered in their activities because of lack of funds could remedy the situation in college by investing more money in the matter of self-sglorification. HONORS TO ALLEN CRAFTON When communities throughout Kansas start planning Kansas Day celebrations, home-talent dramatic productions, and school dramatic programs, it would be well for the backers to look at Mr. Crafton's "Yankee Crusade" as the center piece of such a program. As a play it would stand some brushing up and rewriting in certain places, but as a dramatic interpretation of the spirit of Kansas from the "Fifteen" to this dry; as a good moving vehicle for a variety of community projects to the building of a state, "Yankee Crusade" is genuinely effective. Back at Columbia University some stickers for research went out into the street and questioned casual passers-by to as their opinions of college students. We do not know the exact nature of the questions, nor do we know how many persons were interviewed, but the researchers came back with the statement that five out of six of the persons questioned thought that college students were just lazy, good-for-nothing, n'er-do-wells. RESEARCH REVEALS AN UGLY TRUTH That is a sad state of affairs, if it is true. It is not uncommon for the student to be accused in this manner by his parents, or even by his instructors, but when the man in the street picture him the students with an unfavorable impression. Is it the sophisticated, patronizing air the student has for those who have not had the advantages of college education? Is it the tales of fast life, inattentiveness toward others, or excessive talk and similar stories that are responsible for this? Then again they may be simply the old green-cedar monster of jealousy, reared up at the sight of seeing someone happy, as most college students seem to be.
