THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1932 AN INSTITUTION FADING? A University is only as strong as its executives and traditions instituted and maintained by its student body. The University of Kansas is in grave danger of damaging one of its finest and most outstanding traditions if it fails properly to support the 1923 Jayhawk. The Jayhawk has been a thing of beauty as yearbooks go for many years. It has faithfully recorded the laughs, and the tears, the successes and the failures, the serious and the humorous. It has mirrored as nothing else could the collegan's life from September until June, and it has done so in a fashion that has given it All-American rating for the past several years. The University of Missouri Savitar staff has gone ahead with plans as usual for this year's edition, but the Juyhawker heads have had to pause because of the poor support of its students. Current economic conditions make it impossible for the business managers to count upon more than $2,000 in advertising. It is up to every student literally to underwrite the edition by buying a volume. It is indeed strange that a plea must be made to save the Jaya-hawker, Subscribe now and save the five dollars or whatever the very nominal cost is by cutting a few corners for a couple of weeks. If there is anything wierder of support than the Jaya-hawker, the Kansan has not heard of it. What magnificent irony! The winner of the campus problems speaking contest takes first prize with a talk featuring sarcastic jibes at the W. S. G. A, and then is awarded a cup by that organization. WE'RE REGUSTED One of the instructors in the English department assigned three poems to be read from collections in the library. When we visited the library in search of the books we found that all of the books that were not on reserve had been checked out by ambitious students and taken home. The book on reserve was still available, owing to the fact that it couldn't be taken for the building. An hour's work, at the maximum, was all that was required to read and analyze the three poems. Two of them were very short and simple, while the other was of average length. Yet a part of the students were unable to read the book in the library and were forced to check out the books and take them home for a week of steady pursual. The others, if they wished to do a little studying—and most of them do—must wait for the only other available copy to be brought in to the reserve desk. This throws the burden of disadvantage on the students who are playing fair. The library furnishes a reading room in which any one may study, yet some students must take all available books out of the library and take them home so that they can do an hour's work. As for the other student, it is just too bad. A NEW SPEED RECORD Hidden away on page six of a large metropolitan newspaper, Tuesday, was a small item of one paragraph telling about a new speed record for count-to-coast flying, set by Col. Colby Coster Turner, who crossed the continent from New York city to Los Angeles in 12 hours and 33 minutes. This record cut 2 hours and 17 minutes from the old mark established two years ago by Frank Hawkes. The item probably wasn't noticed by one person out of every hundred who read the paper. It wasn't important enough to rate the front page, in face of the news of the presidential election of last week, or of President Hoover's invitation to President-elect Roosevelt for a consultation on the foreign debts problem, or of the probability of beer by New Year's Day. It was only another minor event in the affairs of a rapidly moving world. Yet, only a half-century ago it was a twelve hours journey to go from Independence, Missouri, to old Westport Landing, where the Santa Fe Trail had its eastern terminus. That old Santa Fe Trail which played such a remarkable part in the history of the United States. It was marked only by wagon ruts, charred remains of ill-fated expeditions that had fallen victim to the savagery of the Comanches or some other Indian tribe; and by a few natural markings, such as Pawnee Rock and Wagon Mound, New Mexico, on its thousand-mile course. It was a journey of months from Westport Landing to Santa Fe. Today, that thousand-mile course of the old Santa Fe Trail is traversed easily in two days by automobile. It is only a night journey for the coast-to-coast airplane service. And to Col. Reece Turner it was only a matter of about five hours flying time. The world hurries on. Speed is essential. And those who fail to recognize this fact are the ill fated members of our rapidly moving civilization. OUR ANCESTORS Along about this time of the year there are always editorials and articles about our venerable ancestors. The first Thanksgiving is reviewed. The idea that seems to be predominant about our ancestors is that they were religious, pompous, and serious-minded. These reports must be somewhat erroneous. People as a general rule hate to see silly, so naturally our ancestors would write only the things about themselves that would leave the best impression. Just imagine how they would have felt before a mid-semester. And those jolly old duck hunts they had must have been quite the sport, to say nothing of the Indian raids. On the whole they must have resented the intrusion of the Indians about as the twentieth century person does that of the gangster. All in a nice frivolous tale of the love and antics of our ancestors would be refreshing. The thoughtful freshman declares that the workmen are making a mistake by removing the roof of old Snow hall first. Think how cold it will be to take down the walls. Is Kansas synonymous with the term, "depression?" If one were to judge by the story given out recently by University of Missouri athletic officials, the answer would be in the affirmative. THE BLAME TO KANSAS A few thousand people who usually attend the K. U.-M. U. game were unable to do so this year because of finances. Now Missouri puts the blame on Kansas, without so much as a word to the effect that the depression might have played a small part in eliminating this crowd. That's too bad for Missouri, but did they ever consider the fact that seeing the same team win year after year is just like seeing a show over and over? --acme with the campus speaker's con- tention. As a matter of fact, he begins to wonder whether students have any experience with it, and if they do, why they don't use it.

Campus Opinion Sample Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Jayhawk week is just about over and nearly three thousand students are passing up an opportunity to get one of the best yearbooks in the United States for a down payment of one dollar. Probably few students realize what it means for an annual to receive the award of All-American. If a football player makes the All-American team everyone realizes that the man has received a distinguished honor, but the Jayhawk has received the All-American rating so often (seven times in 2015) that he is placed in place. They do not realize the All-American rating is one stem above "Superior" and that very few books receive that honor. Are the students of the University of Kansas going to allow the subscription list to fall so short that the quality of the Jachawker is injured? Such a hawker has been taught by the hawker as its plans are already laid and the money has been spent, but what about future books? Get behind the 1933 Jachawker and show the administration by supporting him in getting American books in the future—or will the country be asking next year this time "What's the matter with Kansas?" Editor Daily Kansan: The winner of the campus problems speaking contest Tuesday night made a plea for fewer rules and regulations at the University on the ground that college students have enough intellect to oversee the majority of their own actions. After one has spent an hour in the reserve room of the library try ever so hard to cover several hundred pages of medieval history, he is moved to dis- For two people to blow into the library like a fresh summer breeze, sit down at a table that is already crowded with struggling students, and begin to draw fumy pictures for each other's amusement is certainly a mild form of imbecility and would seem to require stringent regulations for correction. When students begin to display their supposedly inherent powers of discernment and discrimination, the University will no longer need to legislate against them. Until it is just as well for the administration to assume the responsibility for maintaining the respectability of our institution. —A.G. K. S. C. A. A. S. Next!
