MONDAY, JANUARY 9.1933 SPORTMANSHIP Booing is the poorest type of sportsmanship known. Even though a decision made by an official is not in accordance with the sentiment of onlookers, such reaction is entirely out of place Upperclassmen will well remember that at one time Kansas' title position was endangered when K. U. was assessed a number of technical fouls because the crowd did not withhold their boos. When Kansas plays its second Big Six game of the basketball season tomorrow night, the spectators could make the event a much more pleasant one to vitiness if they would discontinue the practice of booing. It may also prove advantageous as far as the score is concerned, for the official may not be so willing to let booing pass unpenalized. DISSATISFACTION Impatiently a student asked the other night, "Why am I in school? Where am I going? What good is it doing me and what am I learning?" The answer came from an older man. "The trouble with you, lad, is that you are wanting at 20 what a man at 40 is entitled to expect." Isn't that largely the reason for the wave of cynicism, discontent, and restlessness that is sweeping over the youth of today? We seem to want to do big things without taking time to bother with the minor details. That day is past. College men and women must get down to business and work if they expect to achieve the success that once was given to them. Youth, especially college youth, seems to have an exaggerated idea of its importance and its position in this world. We have expected society to save an important place for us in our ranks as soon as we are graduated from college, and we have expected that position without doing anything to merit it. QUANTITY OR QUALITY The general level of college attendance is being maintained, according to figures compiled by Dr. Raymond Walters, president of the University of Cincinnati. The 1932 attendance was seven per cent under that of 1931, but greater than the 1927 total. College attendance should not be measured by the test of quantity alone. Important as it is that the nation should have a good percentage of its citizens with more than a high school education, this in itself is not enough. A college can turn out graduates unfit to meet the ordinary problems of life. A poor education will be of little value to the graduate and may prove destructive to society. A little learning often leads to false conclusions or unstable mental conditions. Quality is a better test to apply to college attendance, although it cannot be as definitely measured as quantity. If it could be measured, quality might be better now than in 1927, but it will be more measurable as it shows itself in action a few years from now. BLUE MONDAYS An alarm clock ringing in the middle of the night! The sun not yet high enough to erase the morning's dusk. A gloomy, misty, gray day! But it's Monday morning and that 8:30 class won't wait. Why is Monday morning always so much harder than any other? Is it because of the lingering memories of a happy weekend? Is it the vision of the filmy, dreamy moonlight falling on you and your best girl? The memory of a half bottle of gingerelie tossed to the wife? A sympathetic orchestra... put fire in your feet? A movie that kept you laughing for an hour? Far be it from such. The pain of Monday morning springs not from the pleasures that have gone, but rather, from the realization that a certain term paper lies on the table just as it was last Friday afternoon; that finals are only a matter of days, or, now, only a matter of hours. Mondays are always blue, but the pre-Christmas Mondays are a pale azure as compared to the deep turquoise of these blue, blue Mondays coming just before finals! THE UNITED STATES IS SUPREME AGAIN The United States can again feel proud of attaining first place in another field. With the new Radio City Music hall of Rockefeller Center opening in New York, the United States has the world's largest theater. And not only is this theater the largest in the world; it is also a marvel in mechanical devices and production. Roxy, the master wman, is in charge of the production, and has done his best to dazzle the theater-going public with his array of talent. The theater itself is simply decorated, but is constructed with all of the mechanical devices which will permit unusual stage effects. The slogan of this new theater is, "A visit is worth a month in the country." THE MONTAGUES AND CAPULETS "Who are these Montagues and Capulets, anyhow?" inquired one Harvard law student of another after attending a lecture in which the professor had attempted to clarify a legal point by referring to these relatives of Romeo and Juliet. At least, this is a story told by Professor Zeccharian Chaffee of the Harvard law faculty to prove his contention that college education fails to develop in students a desire for reading books in fields outside our courses. It issible that the professor has not found the real source of the trouble, although it is true that college graduates may not have a good general knowledge despite the fact that they have spent the most of their first two years of college taking required courses which are meant to fill this need. These courses are often so over-crowded with material and so hastily presented that they fail to make a lasting impression on the mind. Required subjects are usually learned in a hurry and 'orgoned immediately.' In the last year or two of college, students often desire to do outside reading, but have not the time necessary. If a professor thinks a student may have a minute to spare, he gives him two minutes' outside reading to do, but always along the same line as the course. DISILLUSIONED Judging from the state of affairs today, it is quite apparent that our ancestors suffered under a countless number of misconceptions which the .unger generation has eliminated. Among other things, our grandfathers believed tomato juice to be no less potent than hemlock and cucumbers to be veritable suicide. They considered three to five petticots only a mark of common decey and a miniature waistline a note of distinction. "It is I" and "Am I not" were OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXX, Monday, Jan. 9, 1933 John Ise, professor of economics, will speak at the meeting of the Graduate Jub to be held in the private dining room of the cafeteria at $4.50 Tuesday evening.

We have our criminal laws and our laws on prohibition, but the hardened criminals go right on breaking the laws. Then unjust laws on traffic and such things are enacted and are rigidly enforced. Thus the truly law abiding citizens are made law breakers and must pay for their petty offences while the criminals go free. WOMEN'S RIFLE TEAM: WATKINS HILL SCHOOLHOLDERS There will be vacancies at Watkins hall for the second semester.

As for the rules of common grammar — they may now be practically disregarded, according to the recent bulletin of the National Council of the Teachers of English, and in consequence can no longer be considered the marks of an elementary education. And now, at last, even the Christian Century sanctions levity mixed with religion. "Why not laugh in church?" says Quintus Quiz. "Is it not recorded that the common people when they heard Jesus sometimes laughed gladly? And were they less ready to ponder his teachings because they laughed?" Modern scientists have proved to the satisfaction of even the most devoted mothers that tomato juice will not kill their children and that cucumbers no longer involve certain death. Manufacturers, although they realize the value of increased consumption, cannot consciously advocate more than one petticoat at a time, and designers, though they prophey curves for spring, still decay wasp-waists. The Women's Rilee team picture for the Jayhawkner is to be taken Wednesday, Jan. 11, at 12:45 in the room over Miller's furniture store. It is important to bring your dress and shoes. not the connotations of nobility, but simply the inevitable results of a fifth grade education. And hilarity, in moderate amounts, though catalogued as a Christian virtue, was of necessity suppressed to severest gravity once one passed within the sanctity of the church house walls. Bear up and be brave, grandad. You've taken them all standing. Just think of the disillusionment that we of the younger generation are doomed to suffer fifty years hence when we discover that you and we were both wrong. A Republican in the next House is going to feel like an absent-minded husband who inadvertently attends an afternoon reception given by his wife. E. GALLOO, Chairman. OUR LAWS Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: The Student Council is to be congratulated for bringing matters out into the open. We are to vote, Thursday, to decide whether the tail shall wag the dog, or whether the tail shall be relegated to its normal position. Is a student to be kicked off the University basketball season football ticket and an all activity ticket? The issue is plain; shall football be king? No doubt in fact football, as Reed Morris says, is already "king," but the student council is not satisfied. The king must be king in name also, and have all the prerogatives and trappings of a king. So we vote, Thursday, to decide all the insignia of supreme authority. The chief objection to the proposed all-activity ticket is that it is to be compulsory. The ticket will destroy liberty of taste and aesthetic judgment. We have passed the dogmatic time for compulsory tickets against their will, or to make compulsory contributions to its coffers. Are we now to compel a student to go to certain entertainments against his will, or, if he stays away because he can not afford the entertainment same. The theory of the student council seems to be that, unless John Jones can afford the luxury of football games, and unless he likes football, he should not come to the University. K. U. has another fit for poor fellows or for disentents. The activities provided for by the all activity ticket represent the interests of the wealthy and leisure class of students who dominate and control them. This year these activities of the well-to-do have failed to attract the other students, either from lack of funds or lack of interest, or both. The activities can no longer be continued at present prices. Rather than cause the 'rib to cut', these policies discourage the Studi Council prefers that the poor be taxed to support unnecessary activities in which they have no chance to participate on equal terms. Yes, soak the poor follow that the wealthy can have $35 of entertainment for $13.50. The Jayahawkner, now patronized only by those prosperous seniors who can afford the insertion of their likeness into the image of themselves, every one will have a chance to admire the pulchrites of the seniors and to learn to see to what organizations they belong. Graduate students (though the Jayahawkner might something to them) may use this commercial product rather than an expression of student originality and To be published simultaneous in 15 countries on Jan. 25.

High priced metropolitan firms are employed rather than student artists. As a commercial article, likewise, it is not a Kanaan product as the contracts are let to Missouri firms. The graft of those in charge was also leaked out (nently suppressed, as far as the Daily Kanaan was concerned) reflects little credit on the University or the officials messed up in it, and indicates that little trust can be placed in the type of people who manage the company. The election has been scheduled on a week's notice, and there is to be a convention to put students in the proper cheering spirit to "railroad the project through." The opposition of course, will not be allowed to debate the proposition which will receive the same opinion treatment it has been given by the Democrat. It has nated a half page of advertisement, and a special issue to the scheme. When athletics have to be subdivided by taxation "something is rotten in Denmark." Some of the statements in the above campus opinion are so erroneous as to be evident to any student who has been following the proposed enterprise plan closely.
