BATTLE OF THE YEAR
Yesterday marked the opening of the annual fall baseball classic whbn the New York Giants, champions of the National League, defeated the Washington Senators, champions of the American League, in the first game of the World series at the Polo grounds in New York.
It was the first of a series of seven games to be played in New York and Washington to determine the baseball championship of the world. This year both teams are led by youthful managers; untied before in World series play, and because of this and because the teams are so evenly matched on paper, the betting men are offering even money.
Several hours before game time yesterday the bleachers were filled almost to capacity and a play by play report was to be broadcast to every corner of the United States, indicating that baseball is still King of American sports.
At the beginning of the season the Giants were picked by only two out of 176 leading sports writers to win the pennant in the National league. The Senators were picked by over half the critics to win the American league crown. The "wise ones" are about evenly divided in picking the winner of this classic, but no one will know the final outcome until the last out is made. May the best team win.
A HIGH IDEAL
Realizing the mistakes which have been made in the planning and management of other universities, the founders of the University of Kansas City are keeping before them always the dream of a truly outstanding institution. In their choice of instructors, their courses of study, and the size of their classes, these educators are trying to make of the new university a school where knowledge and the pursuit of the highest and best in education will be more important than social activities and athletics.
The success of their plans will be a deciding factor in determining the evolution and growth of other schools which are seeking better educational methods.
A CENTURY OF PROGRESS
Nearly 20 million people have attended the Century of Progress at Chicago this year and have given various criticisms, both negative and affirmative.
Those who criticise the Fain negatively fail to take into consideration the gigantic program of construction and research necessary to set up the buildings and exhibitions. This alone should merit a certain amount of appreciation. The modern types of buildings with their marvelous lighting effects are so different from any previous types of architecture that they are truly worthy of note and study.
The one outstanding fault of the Fair is the fact that it is almost impossible to see nearly all the exhibitions shown in any one of the larger buildings. This is made doubly hard because there is no definite beginning or ending point
nor any organization of the exhibitions to enable the visitor to know when he had seen all that he wanted to see.
To the person of an enlightened mind this great exposition is a wonderful textbook showing the remarkable advances in arts and sciences which this and other nations have made during the past century. It is an education within itself thoroughly to examine and study the exhibitions at the Fair.
Yale, the ancient and conservative university of New Haven, Conn., renounces a host of traditions by changing to the modern college plan this fall. Old Eli will have ten residential colleges within the school when present plans are completed.
THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH
Dr. James Rowland Angell, president of the university, explained the reason for the change to the new college system thus:
"They should restore many of the advantages of small student groups, securing that directness and informality of personal contact which has suffered so seriously during the last quarter of a century by the advent of unwieldy classes," Dr. Angell said.
Professors on the Hill who have attended Yale say that it is hard to imagine the tremendous size some of the classes there frequently attained. The average student was lost among hundreds of his fellows, and the benefits of personal contact with the professor and the other under-graduates was practically negligible.
Students at the University of Kansas may consider themselves fortunate that despite the fact some 4,000 young men and women attend school here, this institution is small in comparison with some of the larger universities in the East. On Mt. Oread there is something of the atmosphere of the small town with most of the students at least slightly familiar with many of their fellows.
In the balmy days of the late industrial expansion, when the keynote in practically every line of activity was "bigger and grander," even schools of higher learning felt the spell of the times and boasted of their finer equipment and greater number of students.
Now, Yale and other universities are beginning to see that there is a difference between mass production of automobile tires and that of college graduates. There is a personal touch in moulding a student that, happily, is not required in making rubber tires—or stamps.
I have just petitioned for exemption from the student activity fee and pending another hearing, have had my petition denied. The facts upon which the decision of the committee was based and as I presented them are as follows: I haven't at present the money with which to purchase an activity ticket, but could in the event my continued attendance at the University depended upon it, secure the necessary funds. My presentation of these facts was in answer to the question of the committee of whether I would be able to continue at the University in the event my petition were denied.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
From all of which I gather that the gauge which the committee uses in determining the student's financial ability to purchase the ticket is: Has he got the money, and if he hasn't, can be possibly get it? In my own case I can, as I have said, get the money. So could each of the three thousand odd other individuals enrolled at the University get it under such urgent circumstances. But the hardship which it would cost me and those upon whom I am dependent is far more than the equivalent of all of the varied and assorted advantages offered on the activity schedule. That fee or its cash equivallant will buy two soft coal. Or it will keep my shirts well laundered for the balance of the semester. I can assure you that both of these truths are in imminent danger of being tested in my own case. Yet I can get the money! I can get it because my folks and myself are impressed with the advantages of a completed education over an unfinished one and would no t

our most remote resources rather than lose the advantages of a completed education. So would others do the same. But it is doubtful if either they or I would, in view of our hard wrought efforts, much appreciate the highly flaunted advantages of the schedule. Much more likely that we would say, "The University of Kansas, exceedingly democratic institution"—bah!
The committee on student activity fees is using wrong methods for the ac-complishment of its purpose. It had to upgrade its gauge. The depression is still on.
On Other Hills
Finally becoming weary of dodging puns on his name, Elmer (Red) Sleight, long suffering line coach of the University of Missouri football team and former all-American tackle, reversed the field on one of his tormentors. While

Red was in the locker room vigorously rubbing down with a towel, a quarterback punter passing by stopped and began inspecting him critically.
You can't be read now, cousin,
"Why?" came the suspicious query.
"Because you're wiping the sleight clean."
"You can't be 'read' now, coach,"
Without a mumble the 215-pound all-American sat down laid the quarterback carefully across his knees, and paused with unlifted palm.
"Son," he asked. "Have you ever heard of sleight-of-hand?"
University of Texas officials announce that registration figures for the year 1933-34 are below those of last year. This was contrary to expectations, officials predicting a record enrollment. Late students were few in number compared with former years. The number registered for 1933-34 is 5,529. At this time last year the number admitted was 5,725.
