What we ask, could be sweeter? When the Jayhawks eleven humbled on their home grids its enough to make Kansas students and alumni skip each other on the back with a "Boy, did you see what Kansas did?" or "Gosh, I'd like to have seen that game." AND NOW THE AGGIES And we ask, wouldn't we all? Buth the more unfortunate ones of us who were unable to put out the price of a football ticket, to say nothing of the rater to Manhattan and back, listened in on our friend's radio and had a good old pep rally and football game of our own. The story even comes to us of one freshman who, when Kansas scored the first touchdown, in his excitement completely demolished his best shirt. And so near to Thanksgiving, too. What will mother say? But after all, it isn't every day that Kansas tears the Manhattan team to shreds or comes home with the Aggie bacon. Does the continued inconsistency of Kansas with regard to state and national politics show extreme individualism or just a determination to remain unsatisfied? DR. ERASMUS HAWORTH Dr. Haworth, after whom Haworth hall was named, served as head of the department of geology of the University from 1902 to 1929, and was the state geologist from 1934 to 1915, after organizing the state geological survey in 1834. Erasmus Howorth, who died at the age of seventy-seven in Wichita's yesterday, was a pioneer in Kansas geological work. He made a noted mark for the University as well as for himself in his work, both in Kansas and in the United States. He was always a sincere worker for the cause of education, and was made the head of a committee appointed by the National Association of Mining Schools to secure passage of a bill in Congress to aid mining schools. Both Kansas and the University have lost a distinguished figure by his passing. Will the American people wake up the morning of March 5 to discover that miracles still belong to the age before politics was born? THE HONOR SYSTEM The W.S.G.A. and the Men's Student council met recently to discuss the possibility of instituting an honor system on the University campus. The members of these organizations, chosen representatives of the student body, have felt the need of such a system and have looked to other Universities in an effort to discover the most satisfactory way of handling the problem. They have brought to light a number of systems effectively used on the campuses of American universities, but they are facing defeat at the hands of the students themselves. "Cribbing" has become, in the course of years, so prevalent on the Hill that it is accepted as legitimate by the students themselves. Freshmen of each new class are initiated into the order by some of their older friends who have received the teaching some years before. Today, when student government bodies are making an effort to right the situation through the medium of an honor system, the student body hulahs or secofs. It wouldn't work, "one student says, and another answers with 'You couldn't get it worked out effectively enough to protect the few students who might otherwise be willing to co-operate.' Student government leaders realize the impossibility of creating an honor system at once final and effective, but they do believe that, through a period of years, if backed by the student opinion, such an institution could be founded and could be made entirely effective. The whole situation rests in the hands of the students themselves. Do we want an honor system at K.U.? Will we, as our students, back and support such an effort? Or must we always be forced to quiz formation and advisor supervision because we are unwilling to take the matter in our own hands and deal with it in an intelligent and progressive light? COMPULSORY ACTIVITY TICKET The University brings to its students an extensive program of legitimate and worthwhile entertainment each year in the series of concerts, lectures, games, and plays which it sponsors. Yet the students are sadly lacking in support of these entertainments. Comparatively few make use of the opportunities thus offered to them; a large number of students who do support the concerts and lectures do so to cover class assignments. The matter is not, however, one entirely of willingness to co-operate or to attend these functions. In many cases students feel financially unable to purchase the activity ticket, the enterprise ticket and the dayhawkier. In an effort to remedy this situation, both from the financial viewpoint and in order to increase support of these activities, a compulsory activity ticket is being considered. If adopted this ticket would entitle the holder to all of these features at a cost only slightly higher than the present activity ticket price. Such a rate would be possible because of the increased number of tickets which would essentially be purchased. The proposition is one which would be highly beneficial both to the student and to the University. At a lower cost it is undoubtedly true that a far greater number of students would attend these entertainments. THE TIGER AT BAY No political organization, founded upon false principles and corruption, can endure, regardless of its power at the height of its glory. Tammany Hall, which has ruled New York City, and not infrequently, New York state, for many years, is showing its first slows of collapse, sign that point definitely to its fall in the 1933 mayoral election in New York City. And now Mr. McKee has voiced the first battle战 of what evidently will develop into the hottest political battle that city ever has witnessed. Speaking before a dimmer gathering of the city's most influential members of the Chamber of Commerce, he unexpectedly struck out at the vice and corrup- the economies proposed by Joseph V. McKee, acting mayor since the resignation of Mayor Walker are having their effect upon the right-thinking persons of the city, some 135,000 of whom wrote in his name upon the election machines in the balloting for mayor last week. Mr. McKee was repudiated by Tammany Hall, which nominated and elected as mayor until next fall. Surrogate O'Brien, Mr. O'Brien, however, was given a plurality that was dishearingting to Tammany Hall in view of the strength other Democratic candidates showed in New York City.

GALLOO, Chairman Tommany Hali cannot stand the searchlight of truth and square dealings in government. Walker's debacle proves that. Set a Seabury on the trail of corruption and its brethren, and the story will unfold itself in such hideous details as to awaken even the hardened New Yorker. Tammy Hall is making its last stand; the Tiger is at bay and his claws and teeth on political jobs will not suffice against the darts of exposed corruption and graft. Campus Opinion [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Editor Daily Kensam Whether favoritism really exists in *teachers* or whether their judgment of excellence simply differs from that of the student, mill, as long as students believe that it is there, they will strive to find the secret behind the "bull" that allows some pupils with less grey matter to walk off with the biggest advantage. Students must close eyes watching the teacher for signs of approval and the movements of those擅持 at the art of "polishing the apple." At enrollment time, students congregate and discuss professors and courses. They never say that Mr. Scoundle is an excellent lecturer and his course is well organized and therefore, was a 'average' with them. No-they say that Miss Winston predicts boys and is "hard on" girls, they say that if you ask on the course, you'll find that she is fairly sure of an A. In some classes, students take on certain subjects, but students in the dim past have discovered the teacher's likes and dislikes and have passed their findings on down to each succeeding class, in what we want in college classes? Do we come up here to study encyclopedias or do we come here to study textbooks and give real and beneficial knowledge? It is uncertain that there exist at the University a situation which makes it necessary for students to study their instructors in place of the courses in which they are enrolled. When competition between students compels each scholar to outdo his classmates in gaining favor instead of in gaining knowl-ness, then the students certain needs changing, if not complete abolition. Another hain! No sooner had the latest amusement place in Lawrence opened its doors, then it was banned as air or university women were contemptuous. Before it had a chance to erve its respectability, the doors were closed to the fair coords. But were they closed? These rules governing the "where" and "when" of a college woman's life have become so numerous and have grown in importance that students are practically disregarded by those students who really want to evade them. The many easy ways of getting around these rules have become almost a school tradition. The woman who has been involved in late in life by terer hardship or busserman is an unusual one. Every woman must deliberately and cold-bloodedly violate If a grading system should be adopted giving the student only a satisfactory grade if he work met such a nucle and unsatisfactory if au son was his standing in the class, this three competition would subside and students could again have ideas of their own. This institution could become the college of five thinking and liberal education that it was dedicated to be - M.L. at least one of these rules, even if it is no more than turning on the bath water at five minutes after 11, before she is really initiated into university life. Editor Daily Kansun: The one sure way of setting University women to do something that you don't want them to, especially when that something is very closely associated with their gender, is put in his bold letters. "DON'T DO IT." It never fails. Almost before you can cross the last 'i', you will find the very thing being done. The command is only an added incentive. And no sooner than this last rule has been properly signed than the influx of university women into this hammed "place of evil." This alimightly hard that writes the "THOU SHALL" and the "THOU SHALL NOT" areas by the University sky could be made much more elegant if it could forget its social status and indulge in a little personal work among the University women, instead of pushing it all off on an assistant and resorting to easier and more ostentatious methods of showing its authority. The Campus Pest Sure, the whistle blew five minutes ago. Why is Ekbert still hanging around the instructor's desk? Because he appreciates the value of individual attention. You certainly don't expect a teacher to be there all class period did you? Of course not. If he had, the rest of the students might have profited by their being answered, and that would have been unfortunate, because Ekbert wants to get And do the professors like it? Say they're crazy about it. Such interest being displayed on the part of a student is a high compliment to the course and to the professor. It makes no difference if the questions Erik is asking are simple ones with obivity; ainking questions that are not so much faith in his instructor he is afraid to entertain thoughts of his own until he has had his consultation. The students love Ebert too. That makes it unanimous. Even better than the professor they realize how sincere he is. The boy is just trying so hard! The professor is from a prominent institution, it only looks as though he were polishing apple. Grand Rapids, Mich. (UCP)—After playing englair for 30 years Webster M.
