OCTOBER 19, 1932 A BETTER TITLE Clyde Tombaugh, c. 36, who has been given credit by scientific societies as the discoverer of Pluto, the new planet, was not recognized in the book recently written by Prof. Robert H. Baker, head of the department of astronomy, University of Illinois. In the publication, he is supported by the author attributes the discovery of this planet to C. G. Lampland of Lowell observatory. Flagstaff, Ariz. In reply to the protest of Tombaugh's friends, Professor Baker first placed all the blame on his publishers, saying that they revised his copy to such an extent that he himself could not recognize it. Then he continued his explanation by saying, "My impression has been that the credit for the discovery belongs to Lowell observatory, at the same time paying due honor to Tombaugh." It has been the impression of the Kansan that works in science and astronomy, if they are worthy of them, are not founded on impressions. THE GOOSE-LINE Have you ever walked down that crooked little road behind the power house at night, alone? An ominous silence prevails there, and creepy shadows seem to loom up and reach out for you. And if you try to run, they seem to chase you. Have you ever experienced the horror of crouching for hours in a cave or basement, while a tornado destroys fields, dwellings, and all signs of habitation around you? You have you ever ridden a runaway horse over fields and yards, crashing into your face and arms, finally throwing veniously as the horse barges over a fence? Or again, have you ever been held up on a lonely road by a red-eyed criminal who steals your car, and leaves you to creep back down the road, a quivering mass of proplasm? All these are mild dangers, more trifles to be gladly endured in the course of a day compared with the horrors of walking in the 'goose-line' past Green hall in step with the whistling laws. PERSPECTIVE History abounds with stories of the great names of the past, men who had few books to read. It is always mentioned in the biographies of Lincoln that he had access to few books. Washington, too, had a meager library when a boy, historians tell us. And the fact is always listed as a handicap, a drawback. The point may be well-taken. However, the modern tendency seems to be toward people with too many books. Readers are surfeited, inundated by the flood of volumes. One hears everywhere the plaint, "Oh, there are so many books that I should read, that I never get around to reading any of them," according to books, worthwhile books, which should be read, appalls the potential reader. If the student who has this defeatist attitude will pick out a list of the really, good books of the ages, being aided in this admittedly difficult task by someone with true rare judgment, and will confine his attention to these books, will be no easier to achieving true education than if he dipped and skimmed through the confused mass of available books. A NEW COMPLAINT The grumblers have found a new subject for complaint. According to a group on the library steps one morning, the hospital fee required of every student each semester is a waste of good money, and plain "highway robbery." The group agreed that the fee should be abolished at once, because no one ever goes to the student hospital any more. It just matters how to get the student's hard earned dollars without even giving him a chance to get an exemption. One boy declared that he had never been in the place and didn't intend to go. A visit to the hospital in the middle of the morning will tell another story. The hallway is crowded with snuffling, sneezing, wheezing men and women these early fall days, and they get attention, medicine, and relief. Blistered heels and indigestion—the care for them all at the student hospital, and they do it without complaining, too. The hospital is on the "Hill" for the convenience and use of the student body. Students may go there any time during the school year and obtain medical treatment for the fee which they paid with their other fees. There doesn't need to be that worry of how much more this month's budget can stand. It's paid for and student's health is protected if he makes use of his opportunities. OH WELL- "Darn good show at the theater tonight. Better come on and go; it's the last night." But how could she go with four classes the next day and a term paper due in a week? Of course, she would have a free hour tomorrow at 9:30; perhaps she then she could scan her lessons for the day so that with a little bluffing no one need know she had not spent the two hours in preparation. It would simply be a shame to miss the year's sensation for a few meals assignments. And besides Dick had it was a "darn good show." The term paper? Well, it could wait one more day, and anyway didn't the librarian told her that afternoon that the book she needed most was checked out? No need to sit and wait for someone to bring't back. "What time will you call, Dick? "Seven-thirty?" "Okay. I will be ready." SPORTSMANSHIP JUSTIFIED Denver M. Wright, St. Louis manufacturer and sportsperson, who planned the much commented lion hunt in southeastern Missouri, is reported to be "darned sore" toward the deputy sheriff who shot him after the lion was killed he had turned their loose on an island in the Mississippi River. The whole affair started as an unsporsmanlike affair and ended in a worse vein, if that is possible. Mr. Wright bought the lionesses from a dishband circus, carted them over most of southeastern Missouri hunting a suitable location for the hunt, and finally turned the loose on an island. Then the squash boat with a modern mack-machine gun and with four shots kills both animals. The deputy returns to shore, bragging about how easy it was to kill the timid and frightened lionesses, exhibits the skins with pride and calmly announces that it is more fun to hunt opposems than lions. Possibly if the opposems stood cowering in the willows near the water, the deputy shot them from a motor boat, would rather hunt moles. And by the way, we have one in our lawn, which we wish the deputy would track down in his beast and kill with his sub-machine gun. Campus Opinion ditor Daily Kansan: Our informal rally was exceedingly formal due to the apparent lack of that old boisterous spirit known as pep in our country, or perhaps it was just plain laziness. As the train bearing the football team pulled in last Sunday at the Rock Island station, there were approximately 750 students and townpeople on hand to watch. We did not get the fact that it was 10.30 a.m., and most of the students had to get up right in the middle of their night to be there. Our cheerleaders who probably played at the rally through three "lusy" cheers for the team. That was all. He then walked ALL UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION: There will be an all-University conversation Thursday morning, Oct. 20, at 10 o'clock, in the university auditorium. Dr. T. Z. Koo will speak.

Nor did I see the Ku Ku's nor the Jay Jones—the two organizations of pep which are so curiously lacking in that quality for which they were origi- nated. And we don't know why they are just organizations, a membership in which guarantees a seat on the 50-yard line. Both of them could learn a lot from our Oklahoma friends, the Jazz Hounds with that good old "Holy Jumpin' Joe Christ" spirit. There is a depression on, but it doesn't cost any money. The Jumpin' Joe "Sunday" Window, all-American cheer-leader at K. U., we had plenty of pep. What's wrong? Station rallies are a dop anyway—most students have to walk to get there. Consequently they just don't go. Why not have these send-off rallies at the Union building? The team could assemble there just as well as at the station and the student wouldn't be inconvenienced. Perhaps the band would be willing to be there then. Who wants to walk a mile with a heavy horn to blow "Bula-Bula" for a "rowel" who doesn't even appreciate it? Who wants to walk a mile anyway? And then a rally wasn't even called the other night when the team left. At least a fowl would have gone. And now I wonder if we'll have a raily this week. Really, I don't see the use unless our cheerleader gets his sleep out. And these freshman caps—the reason the freshmen don't wear them is because it's just as dangerous to wear caps under a jacket that we daddle with paddling for not saluting the colors and paddle them only for not wearing the cap. I wonder how many upperclassmen would be willing to wear some sort of pop tac which would fasten in the lapel of his coat on the day preceding and the day of every game? Certainly we could then tell a coach who saw me one. We could say they were tac tags whether they were freshmen or not. Those who didn't wear tags would find it expedient to wear freshman caps—I think. Now who is to pay for the tags? There would be no problem of distribution—most upperclassmen would be glad to get them—those who weren't soon would be. Well, in the first place they would cost less than five dollars, printing and all. Secondly, the Men's Student Council, which has been brought out of our fund to pay for them.
