THE MUSCLE MEN
Unlike the nose-tweaking clowns of Convention Hall in Kansas City and other professional wrestling centers, the boys who tug and pull for Kansas in the Big Six meets demonstrate some of the finer points of wrestling technique. These unsung warriors of the University are deserving of praise and support in reward of their faithfulness when many students ignore the matches.
The scores of these matches do not accurately provide a true comparison of the teams, and many of the meets are closely contested. Even though this year's team was handicapped by the withdrawal of two veterans from competition it has continued to improve, with the aid of good coaching, and many observers predict that, with added experience, Kansas will have a top-notch team, deserving the support of the institution which it represents.
Kansas has had a stranglehold on the cellar position in wrestling competition for a number of years,and,as a result,the sport has declined here in popularity while it has increased in favor in other places.
CAMPUS OPINIONS
The Kansan editorial column has recently received a bountiful supply of campus opinions. Such communications are greatly appreciated and student comment is earnestly solicited by the Kansan.
These campus opinions serve a number of purposes. They constitute interesting reading matter, and, they give the student a chance to express his individual opinion on any subject that he deems important. Some students use the column as a practice ground for their restless pens; others consider it an excellent jostling place where they may engage in word battles for their own pleasure and that of the readers, while still others seek to make it aid in the remedying o injustice or wrong.
All are welcome to submit opinions. The only important restriction is that the contribution shall be less than 200 words in length. If this limited space is not adequate, then the student may arrange an interview with the editor to secure his aid in the devising of methods of cutting the length.
In accordance with the policy of true freedom of the press the student is free to say what he pleases as long as he does not make a personal attack upon some individual, and conforms to proper journalism standards of good taste.
CHALLENGE
A crowd equaled only by that of the Christmas Vespers Service last December filled the audiotrium yesterday morning to hear Norman Thomas. Whether the reason for such a large audience was the greatness of the Socialist
leader's reputation, or the curiosity of students and faculty members who wanted to get a slant on Socialism, was an undetermined question.
The address was not a ballyhoo for the Socialist party, but was like any speech delivered by a well-informed person. Mr. Thomas in an unobtrusive way did come to conclusions that would lead one to believe his form of government would bring a better adjustment of economic and social problems. Never did he mention his party, but he did intimate that the present system was not working out to advantage. His reference to Russia's working toward a goal that would benefit society, also bordered on the subject.
He presented questions tactfully, rather than trying to answer them, and he challenged youth to remedy the evils now in existence.
A DANGEROUS LIFE
To the mental and financial strains of obtaining a college education has been added a physical hazard which threatens to deprive the University of enterprising students whose only crime is that of possessing a thirst for library knowledge.
Not only are lives endangered in street crossing as before, but now one must guard against being annihilated by powerful trucks, a formidable-looking tractor or an extraordinarily large team of horses while picking one's way gingerly across the acres of plowed land, rock piles and unexpected depressions which enclose the entrance to the library.
The male element which occupies the library "doorstep" derives much amusement from the antics of the stocking-capped tractor driver and his unruly machine, which threatens momentarily to go over the embankment and take its position in the library reserve room. But it is reported that the situation is not nearly so amusing to the unsuspecting woman student who, pursuing her way homeward on teacherous high heels, looks up suddenly to see a truckload of rocks bearing down upon her, propelled by a driver whose head seems to be turned in the other direction.
Thus far in the work, no casualties have been reported, so we may be consolled with the thought that dangers encountered bravely today will bring their rewards in the future, in the form of a beautifully landscaped entrance to the library. Many hope that the spring rains do not set in before at least a temporary sidewalk can be constructed.

(Feb. 20-26,1914) By George Lerrigo
Feb. 24.
Because of the crowded class rooms of the college, and because there are not enough rooms to accommodate the large classes comfortably, Professor Templin, dean of the college, urges that there be a distribution of classes, which would bring on more afternoon classes. The plan of having the classes in the morning originated in the early days of the University when classes ran from 9 until 1 o'clock. The same pattern has been maintained since then, causing an overcrowding of morning classes. There were 201 classes held in the morning and 52 in the afternoon.
A test case determining whether or not the Kappa Gamma sorority will have to pay taxes to the county treasurer was brought into the district court by that group. The case will decide whether or not fraternities and sororites will have to pay a tax on their property, which has been formerly exempt. The county treasurer had collected taxes from fraternities, and the court proceedings were watched with much interest.
The second number of the Oread Magazine, a publication designed to present literary writing in its higher form, was issued on the campus. The magazine featured a poem by Willard A. Wattles, "In His Own Country," which was placed on the frontpiece. Other articles of interest were "Book Plates," by Helen Rhoda Hoopes, and

Saturday, Feb. 24 — Those unable to appear at the scheduled time.
GRADES:
The Science Formal Committee would do well to inaugurate a New Deal by seeing that the lights in the "dark-room" are kept burning. Those who come to dance and not to neck may then have an opportunity to sit down occasionally without having to paw blindly in the darkness for a seat, and risk sitting in the lap of some stranger.
INTER-RACIAL:
KAYHAWK CLUB:
Mildred Mitchell will review a book on a very interesting negro woman at the meeting of the group tonight at Henley house from 7 to 8 o'clock. The hike is postponed indefinitely.
WANDA EDMONDS.
We, of Queen's, pride ourselves on our ability to acquire knowledge; we pride ourselves on our advanced ideas and maturity of mind; yet we indulge in childlike lovemaking which is not only promiscuous, but in distinctly poor taste at an important college function. It reflects unfavorably on ourselves and adds nothing to our reputation among outsiders.
There will be an official meeting of the Kayhawk club Monday evening, Feb. 6, at 7:30 o'clock in the basement of the Memorial Union building.
PHI DELTA KAPPA;
ED. THOMAS, Vice President.
There will be a very important business meeting of the Kappa chapter of Phi Delta Kappa this evening, at 7:30 in 115 Fraser hall. All members are urged to be present.
FRED W. JEANS, President.
SELF-SUPPORTING STUDENTS:
QUILL CLUB:
Quill club will meet this evening, at 8 o'clock in the rest room of the Administration building. Will all members and pledges please bring their dues; and those to be initiated, their initiation fees and papers if possible.
For the past few years at all the faculty Formals one of the smaller gymnasiums has been furnished comfortably with Chesterfield lights and used for sitting-out. But by the time the dances and lights are doused, the room is in total darkness, and smoothing reign supreme, punctuated by glowing cigarettes.
A regular meeting will be held this evening in room 222, Administration building at 8 p.m. A short business meeting will precede a talk by Mr. Ellsworth on the CSEP program. All students concerned with the CSEP are invited.
STEEL KEY:
HARRIETTE SHERWOOD, President.
The Science Formal with its attendant celebration looms in the immediate off-ing. It has gained widespread popularity in student circles and among the outsiders who also attend.
WOMEN'S RIFLE TEAM:
TEEL. KEIT.
There will be a meeting of Steel Key on Tuesday, Feb. 27 at 9 o'clock in oom 102, Marvin hall. All members must be present, or excused by the president.
ROBERT M. ARMSTRONG, Secretary.
Our Contemporaries

Feb. 26.
All women who passed final elimination tests are requested to report meditatively to Sgt. Engle at the rifle range. ROWENA LONGSHOT
The Kansas Jayhawkers won the Missouri Valley basketball championship by the virtue of their defeat of the Kansas Tigers 38 to 22. Kansas outplayed the Tigers throughout the game and at no time were in danger of losing their lead. Van der Ries was high scorer with seven goals, for Kansas, in contrast to the 10 free throws and one goal for Wear of Missouri. The game showed the Kansas team to be at the top of their form, though many of the players were suffering from small physical injuries.
An old issue was brought up when the University pressed the paying of a bill for an old injury. The grievance occurred on May 21, 1856, when a United States marshal and a sheriff surrounded the Free State hotel on the pretext of its containing ammunition. Unable to enter it, they burned it down.
Queen's University Journal.
"Several new rules were added to football by the committee on rules for 1914. The chief of the new rules is the barring of coaches from the sidelines. Hereafter a coach will have to confine himself to the bench. Other rules offer a penalty of ten yards for intentionally grounding a forward pass, and a penalty of five yards for the team having a player out of bounds, or off-side when the ball is put into play. When the bail hits the goal posts from a free kick and bounces back into the field of play it will heresafter be known as a touchdown The idea of numbering players will also be investigated."

When rules were set up for the issue of Reserve Books for overnight use the Library wished to make sure that the books would be on the shelves for the many students who study Sunday afternoon; hence the rule that kept the Reserves in the building Saturday night.
The Library is now willing to try the experiment of issuing these books on the promise that they will be returned before 2:15 Sunday afternoon. If it is found that the books are not returned for the use of others on Sunday the plan will be dropped. The students must cooperate.
C. M. Baker, Director.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The editorial in a recent issue of the Kansan, headed, "Are We Stepping Backward?" seems to be a rather harsh and uncalled for criticism of the Law enforcement police department, and especially those who investigated the book store robbery.
I am not necessarily the champion of the police department, and am not trying to excuse a mistake that unfortunately was made, but I am acquainted with the methods and work of a police department, and can easily see how they were misled by the book store robber.
In the first place Rowlands book store management has been known to keep a guard in the store over night. In fact, I remember a specific night when they did have a night watchman. So you see, that it wasn't so sinful to be around them. A college appearance was typical of a college student hired for such a job.
Furthermore, the robber met the police at the door and told them he had been awakened by a noise at the rear gate. He stopped about 15 minutes before they arrived.
It may also be said that the oldest officers, in the point of service, on the police force, made up the personnel of the investigating party, and if they were fooled by the ruse employed by the robber, it is safe to say that the man, the students, and even an exceptional criminology expert, would be too.
In conclusion it may be proper to enlighten the student body on some of the merits of the police department. For one thing, it has been through the efforts of this same department that the theft insurance rates of Lawrence are cheaper than they are in any similar city. Also, that this same police department, mind you, is notified when a crime is actually in action among most remote towns' Kansas because this department has proven its ability to apprehend criminals not only from other cities in Kansas, but from other states as well.
I could easily write more concerning the merits of the local police department, but it is needless. The point that they have been too severely criticized for the one mistake they have made in years. They have been reprimanded and were suspended without pay for three days. They admit that they made a mistake and are offering no alibi. What else can be said?
