Singing copies, or FIRST IMPRESSION A buzz of conversation so loud it made any comprehension of the speaker impossible to those in the gallery—groups of men collecting here and there to compare ideas (or something); apples, candy, and gum appearing at intervals, to be hurriedly eaten by late-comers who missed their breakfast; distinguished-looking legislators perusing morning papers, their feet on the desks in front of them—no one paying any apparent attention to the voice of the reader as he drenched off the formal bills in his best "train caller" manner. Such are the impressions gained on a first visit to the legislative chamber of the Kansas House of Representatives. It might appear that it is only the public who take these representatives and their heavy responsibilities seriously. They seem to manage quite well to bear the weight of their public duty and still find time to discuss all the football scores. Of course, we've heard that the committees do the serious work, so perhaps we're all wrong in our opinion. At any rate, our gallery-formed idea is that we'd like to grow up to be representatives and get to play in the state legislature STONE WALLS ARE WINNING STONE WALLS ARE WINNING An unhealthy picture of the dire straits of the American school system was unearthed last week by Dr. George F. Zook, federal commissioner of education. In his claims, he presented a statistic-mosaic of 2,280,000 children without schools, school terms shortened in one out of every four cities, teachers' salaries below the standard of unskilled factory workers, school districts bankrupt and over-burdened with debt. At this time governing bodies are faced with the problem of delving into relative values. On one hand are roads to be re-surfaced, bridges to be built which may facilitate traffic in 1950; buildings to be erected to house mayor's, commissions, and their political allies, dams to be constructed to produce four blades of grass where two now grow; on the other hand there is charity—which must come first—and there are the school children. Perhaps it might be well to place these relative values on the scales again, and study the situation, city by city, and rural district by rural district, and see whether an edifice of stone or human education warrants the greater amount of the money expended to get us out of the depression. RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA While Maxim Litinoff, Russian commissioner of foreign affairs, is conferring with President Roosevelt these days on American recognition of Russia, the world is sitting back speculating as to the outcome of their meeting. The definite stand for the support of this question of recognition, expressed by William Jardine, state treasurer, yesterday in an address in Kansas City, seems to be the characteristic American attitude toward this step. Providing that a provision is inclosed in the final agreement to the effect that all the money loaned Russia shall be spent in this country, Mr. Jardine pointed out certain fundamental and favorable aspects of the situation: Chief among them is the belief that recognition may hasten the American economic recovery because of the opening of markets for staple agricultural goods. This is substantiated by the fact that Russia is the biggest consumer purchasing power in the world today, and because of her rising standard of living, importation of American products will increase for some years to come. What the outcome of the conference will be is still a matter of speculation, but certain it is that whatever its results, it will effect international relations in all fields, and certainly the effect will not be an impediment if terms can be reached toward recognition. The Campus Muse TOUCHDOWN The long field lies beneath the autumn sun. The air of afternoon is clear and cool. Like trout that pause and dart within the water. The players group and scatter, pause and run. The narrow minutes till the final gun Bring fierce line plunges, trick plays to befoil, The forward pass, and plays that skirt the rule; And tense they sit who watch yards lost, yards won. then to the side slips an unguarded man, Carrying the ball; eluding each curved arm He twists ahead in broken, zigzag flight; Free, dashes as though devils behind him ran— Until that last line stops all, like a charm. Now breaks a wild cheer in tumultuou night T. E.M. Gr. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: In a Kansas editorial of Nov. 14, '33, headed "A Wise Decision," the editors acuse Mr. Delmoney of the Kansas Sons- ate of a seeming inconsistency. "Could it be possible?" ask the editor; "that his bill to eliminate the activity plan from the University is a companion bill to the one he introduced a short time ago which would have appropriated $100-­ 000 to the University for the purpose of hiring professional football players"? If the Kansas had read his bill it would have found the word "atletic" instead of "activity." Since the report of the Carnegie Foundation in '30 and '31 the Universities have been whitewashing their tactics and have publicly denounced proselytizing, recruiting, overemphasis and commercialization, one day and on the next day have attempted to patch up intercollegiate athletics by extolting their value as a propagandizing agent for college sports. The insisting agent for academic advantages, as a builder of character and manhood, and as a source of income. Propose this condition, I believe it is about time that we cast aside all subterfuge and indirection; and I will allow them to rely their credit for anticipating such a need. Intercollegiate athletics are only an entertainment sponsored through the OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN XXXI Thursday, Nov. 16, 1933 No. 45 The combined meeting of the Branches of the A.I.E.E and A.S.M.E with the Kansas City Sections will be held tonight at 7:45 in room 206 Marvin hall.

FINANCE COMMITTEE: Will all committee members report to their chairman by 7:30 this evening. MABEL EDWARDS, Finance Chairman. medium of a legitimate business concern incorporated under the laws of the states, overstaff it as you will with plattitudes and band music. Therefore, let me suggest that if the school is dependent upon intercollegiate athletics for advertising and financial support let us adopt an open faced policy and accept students from all regions of basketball teams and balkyco the public of Kansas and surrounding states with all the viger of Madison Square Garden. Are we doing that already? In addition to the condemnation of Mr. Delenay, the Kanman states the following facts: that the activity plan is administered by the students; and that this year the student fees plus the activity fees exceed $500,000 than the student fees alone did last year. Let me call attention to the plan for exemption passed by the student government and the Board of Regents; "Students may make application for exemption from the activity fee to the chancellor or to a representative committee appointed by him." In regard to the amount of fees this year in comparison with those last year, let me ask the Kansan and those who believe this is a legitimate prop for a compulsory athletic ticket, "Why didn't the Kansas legislature raise the fees to the resident students instead of lowering them?" Evidently there are people who still believe that a rather large minority of us are supported by Santa Claus and we have had no depression in Kahsas. The Chancellor appointed Mr. Nichols and two faculty members to assist him in handling the petitions for approx-10,000 students were added to the committee. Bill Blair.
