POWER TO YOU
The concert of the University Symphony orchestra last Thursday evening was significant in one particular feature of its performance. This significance lay, not in its excellence of rendition for one has come to expect such feats of this orchestra, but in its program, which consisted chiefly of modern music, one of its selections being of American composition.
Music, like every other art and phase of modern life, is in a transitional period that is bringing new styles into creation. Because experiments in new fields are always received with caution and skepticism by the public, it is appropriate that the University as the State's administrator of knowledge should patronize them to a certain extent. This extent is to the encouragement of greater and more perfect creations, and that of serving as transmitter and interpreter between the creator and public.
The orchestra is to be commended for its boldness in stepping into the relatively unfamiliar field of modern music, and for the success it achieved in its interpretation of the spirit of these creations.
At last we've found someone whose name is really Mud, only it's spelled with another "d." Quite a coincidence that she should be a state inspector of beauty parlor, etc.
DRAMATIC PERSONAE
Professor Allen Crafton's comment on the actors to appear in the forthcoming Kansas Players production is no flattering exaggeration. "Never before have we had as many people with wide experience together in one production," he said. And he might have added, "They have ability, as well."
Mary Elliott, who departed from the University to teach dramatics at Kansas State College, left behind her an enduring portrayal of the mountaineer widow in "Sun-up." "Distant Drums," in which she comes back to the Kansas Players, has a part for her something on this order.
George Callahan, missing from the casts of previous Hill productions this year, returns to take one of the major roles. Of the many parts handled by this capable actor, Callahan has yet to fall down on an assignment.
With the announced cast, "Distant Drums" promises to be one of the best shows ever presented in Fraser theater. With his tripe of veteran players, Professor Crafton could make Addison's dry "Cato" entertaining.
SOME MIGHT CALL IT BASKETBALL
A disinterested spectator witnessing his first intramural basketball game would probably leave after the game wondering whether he had seen a basketball game or a mob fight.
The game starts just like any other basketball game with five men on each side and the ball being tossed up in the center of the court, but as the game progresses it loses all the characteristics o the popular indoor sport. Some player "roughs" one of his opponents a little too much, the opponent retaliates and before long all ten men are trying as hard to get a good crack at each other as they are to win the ball game. Toward the end of the game if the referee is unable to stop this procedure about the only thing resembling a basketball contest is a ball, two goals and a court. Who wins the game doesn't matter, but who is able to get in the most effective blow is of greatest concern. The players come off the court with charley horses, scratches, sorr ribs.
Of course not all of the games take on this atmosphere, but far too many do. Basketball is a great sport and is probably enjoyed by more members of the student body than any other, when it is played as basketball should be played, but when the players insist on mixing boxing, wrestling and tumbling with it, very few appreciate the value and very few enjoy playing. So in the future why not play the game as it should be played and leave the other sports to their respective places on the intramural program.
Campus Opinion
While reading through your paper yesterday I read an article from Michigan State which the Student Council has authorized closing hours to be 1:30 on Friday night, 12:30 on Saturday night and 10:30 on Sunday nights.
Editor Daily Kansan:
For one thing I am glad that one school in the United States is broad minded enough to know that students when they are in college know their own mind.
This example of Michigan State is a start in this generation to recognize college students as men and women old care if themselves without supervision.
Why must Kansas University be a back number and keep right on with her century old tradition of keeping tab on her students and try to make them live the way they did fifty years ago.
We have a modern school and modern facilities but as far as living up to the modern social trend we are away behind time.
Of course we realize the merit of closing hours on Sundays and school nights for the students own good, but why take off an hour on Friday and Saturday when neither Saturday or Sunday the two preceding days are school days. Will the students study those two days? In all probability they will not so why not give them that extra hour—W.T.B. ...
The sixth annual meeting of the Kansas Engineering Society was planned to be held here for two days. Chancellor Strong is to greet all of the county, city, and practicing engineers, and surveyors from the State of Kansas. A banquet was also included on the program which J. A. Cabel of the Kansas Public Utilities will address. Officers of the society are to be chosen at this meeting.
Twenty Years Ago
(January 19-24, 1914)
By George Lerrigo
A modest start was made by the Men's Student Council towards the establishment of a Student Union in a plan adopted at a meeting at Fraser hall. The plan is to secure spacious quarters, in some residence near the student district, so that the men will be able to congregate at this place.
Kansas took the measure of Washburn College in a "close and fiercely contested" basketball game by the score of 38-29. Bill Weaver was high point man for the Jayhawkers with seven goals and four free throws to his credit. On the Washburn team Dwight Ream excelled, starting out by scoring the first points in the game. Sproul and Van der Ries played their usual brand of good ball, for the Jayhawkers, while the whole Ichabod attack was centered around Ream.
Ralph Kennedy, chairman of a committee which will act to this effect, says that because of student agitation this project was started, and though the beginning is slight he admonishes the students to "watch it grow."
Investigation is being made into the charge that some students broke insulators on the telegraph lines, near Eudora, while on a geology field trip. The agent who entered the complaint says that some of the students were throwing rocks at the telegraph poles, and that

Kansas University kept up its winning streak in basketball by defeating the Kansas Aggies 44-26. The Aggies started out in the lead by running a score of 7-1 in the first few minutes of play, but due to Sproul's flasy work were trailing 21-16 at the half. Though Coach Hamilton's Jayhawkers were outplayed in the very early part of the game they quickly regained spirit and pep, during a short rest period when one of the players had to fix his shoe.
E. C. Quigley referred the game.

THE COLLEGE PRESS
For sheer poverty of thought and complete lack of intellectual courage no recent occurrence of an American campus is more strikingly representative than the refusal of the American Student Federation to approve a resolution condemning censorship of the college press. To the resolution offered by a delegate from Columbia university the reactionary representatives of 175 colleges and universities turned a cold shoulder and
indifferently voted to take it. The shoddy thinking of the convention was accurately expressed in one delegate's dismissal of the resolution with the assertion that he for he "did not want his college's dirty linen hanging on the line for public gaze."
In coldly turning their smug backs on the proposal for a free and unconceded college press the National Student Federation is definitely committed to the continuance of worthless campus house organs which persistently close their eyes to the real issues of the present day American university, and, instead, confine their Polynya efforts to continuous glorification of the picayune affairs of the campus. That such a condition of journalistic poverty exists among American universities and colleges is amply demonstrated by careful reading of the scores of dailies and weeklies which clutter up our desk every day.
It seems almost incredible that the mass-covered mind of the delegates who voted for a "keep" press were not in some small measure, at least, exhilarated by the wholesome atmosphere of the new, liberal spirit in the nation's capital. That they have refused to accept the challenge for a free press and free exchange of conflicting ideas is striking evidence that a great mass of American students trod far behind their elders in the march toward social and intellectual progress—Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.
