FUN AT M. U.
The athletic situation at the University of Missouri, which appeared so strained at the beginning of the week, has resolved itself into another defeat for the alleged howling wolves among the alumni of that school. With yesterday's reappointment of Frank Carideo, head football coach, and other members of the coaching staff, by members of the athletic council, it appears that no amount of criticism from the outer circles will alter the picture at Columbia.
How far the alumni and certain student organizations, among them the Missouri Student, campus newspaper, were justified in criticising members of the athletic board of strategy remains a problem, but in fairness to Carideo and Dr. H. J. Huff, head track coach, on whom the most seathing attacks were made, it must be said that they have seemed to merit more of a fair trial than they have been given.
Faced with poor material and apparently little support, both of these coaches have had difficulty in building teams which were even mediocre, but other coaches doubtless would have done as badly in similar circumstances. The fact that the student body and the lettermen in the various sports supported the coaches is an indication that they have followers among the persons who ought to be most interested.
There is still a problem, however, in most universities of how much influence the former members of an institution may be allowed to exert in controlling its athletic policies. The coach is still faced with the problem of satisfying the demands of both his school and his alumni. Missouri may have made a significant decision in the right direction.
WILL THERE BE ANOTHER WAR?
There has been considerable talk about the next war. Some say war will come within six months, others say about a year; while still others are afraid to set any definite date, but predict that it will come in the near future.
The present Disarmament Conference will adjourn soon with practically nothing accomplished. The nations that sent representatives have heard no reports because there are no reports to give. It is a constant battle between the representatives of each nation to see who will have the most armaments.
Billions of dollars have been spent on wars and preparations for war. Countries have gone into debt after coming out of war and other countries are going into debt trying to prepare for the one in the future.
Arms agents who represent the ocompanies which manufacture firearms and ammunitions are one of the trouble causes. These men who make their living by selling firearms naturally talk up and preach preparedness.
The Arms Embargo bill, recently introduced in the senate, prevents the shipment of arms to nations bent on war. This bill is backed by President Rosevelt, and to show that he is doing his part toward peace he refuses to send any more troops across the central and western part of South America.
The people are wondering just what the disarmament conference has accomplished. Take the profit out of war and there will be no more wars. Many say that nations only sign peace pacts and nothing ever comes of them. True, but it must be remembered that peace is just in its infancy and that wars have been going on for thousands of years.
Nations have been signing pacts; let them keep right on signing them. The idea of peace instead of war will be strengthened just that much more.
AN AID FOR STUDY
With the return to the old schedule of library closing hours students again may study until 10 o'clock without being disturbed just after settling down for an evening of work.
The change has come at a most convenient time, when thoughts of mid-semester examinations are uppermost. Last-minute cramming is necessary if too much time has been spent on extra-curricular activities, outside work, or play.
It is hard to study outside the library this time of the year with spring haunting the air. When one attempts to study in his room, he is open to temptation by the man across the hall who confronts him with tickets to a show or dance.
Now one can spend the evening studying in the library until it is too late to attend a show and then check out a book overnight and do some conscientious work at home. Or if it is necessary to see a certain picture, he may attend an early show and still obtain a library book rather than waste the night in "bull-festering."
With almost capacity crowds at the library since the mid-seminer rush for knowledge began, there is the assurance of at least one more hour of work for several hundred students.
The CSEP has helped to make this privilege possible by its provisions for hiring students for library work, with the result that it assists the majority rather than merely the limited few whom it employs.
And who coaches the coach for such a contest as that recently held at M. U.
IT'S SPRING AGAIN
Once again the year has rolled around to the season when editorial writers, amateur and professional, the world over, burst into ecstatic melodies about the lovely weather —tra la—and the sunshine —tra la—and the birds —tra la—and so forth—tra la, tra la!
Such ramblings are convenient for writers because they fill the space left vacant when spring fever occupies the cerebral cavity to the exclusion of all connected thoughts. Editors may also consider that their public is afflicted to the point of being too lazy to read, anyway.
Probably nothing is more annoying to editorial readers (and there must be a few somewhere) than to find the column occupied by the annual enthusiastic dissertations on the beauties of nature and the bounties of spring, especially if the temperature has changed suddenly, and they must read of balmy moonlight while an icy wind blows dust in their eyes or a rain storm ruins the newly shampooed car.
So, with appropriate explanation, the Kansan offers its March 21 editorial on the subject, a one sentence declaration of spring—
"It looks as if spring had really come at last, on this, its appointed seasonal beginning; but don't let the Kansas weather deceive you; it may snow tomorrow."

The summer session or selfstyled "hot weather term" has announced plans for opening this year on June 11. One hundred and twenty-six courses will be offered to the students who wish to enroll and enjoy the hot summer weather in the breezes of Mt. Oread. There will be two sessions, the first lasting six weeks and the supplementary session being held for three weeks. Prof. A. S. Oln, acting dean of the School of Education, believes that the University should be kept running all the year around. The year might be divided into quarters with the students enroling in any number of quarters that he chose. "The University is not utilizing its full resources," he says.

The Quill club at the University took a pioneering step in the foundation of a national organization, by the use of the local chapter as originators. The chapter at the University will be known as Alpha and a Beta chapter will be established at the Kansas State Agricultural College. The movement had been considered several times, but was not taken seriously until E. A. Vaughn, president of the Manhattan literary organization, visited the prigilee of joining with the KU. society. The movement is intended to spread literary work in colleges and has been developed at the University through the efforts of the Oread Magazine.
At a meeting of the freshman class it was decided by a small marginal vote that the freshman caps would not be worn in the spring as has been the custom in the past. The prevailing sentiment was that the caps should be worn in the fall, so that the freshmen could become acquainted with each other. The junior class at a stag the following night predicted that there might be trouble between the junior and the freshman classes if the freshmen did as they blamed about the caps.
In a recent survey it was discovered that nearly half of the 2636 students enrolled in the University, or 1272, attended Sunday school practically every Sunday. There are twenty classes at the Bible school in Myers Hall which include 962 men. Four out of every five students are either church members or have expressed denominational preference. The Methodist church is the favorite with K.U. students, having 409 student members, and 299 expressing preference for it. The next in line was the Presbyterian church with 291 undergraduate members and 96 expressing preference for this church.
