Downtown streets are crowded, and people pass you by with do-or-die expressions on their faces. Little children are trempled under foot as women (and men too) push and shove for the counter that saves them fifteen cents. Pocketbooks are strangely deflated over-night, and father's hair commences to whiten around the temples. The air has strangely assumed a nip that seems to offer some excuse for the fur coats that have appeared everywhere, and every morning hoar frost coats the trees and ground. And not only that. Sweet young things receive mail that offers suggestions for gifts for the discriminating male. Men prowl in and out of department and jewelry stores with sheepish looks and nervous glances. Small children frequent the five and ten cent stores with all the anticipation that mother gets in the most exclusive shop in town. Streets are CROWDED. Small children are trampled. Pocket-books are punctured. Human beings are lowered to the plans of animals. Everyone goes mad. Christmas is here! A CHANGE IN COLOR Coach "Chuck" Meehan, who has tutored football at New York University for seven years, raising the gridiron status of the Violets from the depths of remoteness to one of national recognition, has resigned his post after being the victim of constant attacks on the part of the university student paper. After resigning he said he was through with college football for good—and he has a good reason for making this decision. Known over the country as a team builder seven years ago, Mechan was brought to the Violet school with one purpose in mind: to build a strong grid team regardless of expense and the means used to gather material. He employed every method possible not accepted by a majority of the conferences in the country, but he was not handicapped by conference rules because his team was a member of none. Now after winning 49 games, losing 15 and tying 4 during his career at New York University, he has been condemned for the tactics he used in raising the status of the Violets. When he was originally employed, it was with the understanding that he could use so-called underhand methods to gather material. The student body, the alumni and the faculty were behind him, and now they all want to crawl from under. If the Violets were turned a bit pale under Meban's policy, why didn't they ask him to resign with out the use of adverse criticism that has spread over the country, and without shirking their responsibility for his practice? One may well ask: what price glory? BILL'S ABROAD Will Rogers is a broad shouldered, broad-viewed man. Now Bill's abroad. As valet and governess to Floyd Gibbon he is just a quiet outside observer of the Manchurian trouble. No doubt there will be more people get the "low-down" on the Manchurian controversy from Will Roger's quibs than from all the headline sensions in this country. His broadminded version of this situation in the Orient is only a replica of his ideas on many of the escapades of his friends in our country, about which he has given the world the simple truth. At any rate we hope he survives eating oysters in China and returns to America with some new wit on the next presidential ears. Campus Opinion --are to be recruited and members will preside on the MARSHALL SCOTT, President. Editor Daily Kansas: In the Kansas City Star for Monday, Dec. 14, appears an editorial headed "A Letter from Uncle Sam," and addressed to the young men of the State College and Universities. It begins with a quote from a national disarmament committee that you don't like military training. Of course, training may be a good deal of a grind at times, but I wonder if it really thought over what is involved." The editorial goes on to explain in very simple terms, just why all "thinkers" should be urged to take military training which is forced on them by a mation which has been guilty of the vicious policy of teaching children that our state institutions of learning "owe it to the state" because "the state is big hearted enough to furnish them with everything." Disgusting, to be appealed to in such a manner, and with such a childish and biogoted article. The Star certainly must hold a very low opinion of the average student of the college student to think that they will swallow such a statement. W "owe it to the state to take military training" do we? Of course the state does not afford of taxes from citizens, is giving us all this education for nothing. I knew we must pay them back with the money we have earned, we always continue getting something for wishing the Star, through the medium of public services, we unthink and ungrateful students that we are get all nasty and tell our husband state that we don't like this." The editorial further states that such military training is necessary to the success of any war, but much smaller armament than that of other nations, and in case one of them were to use it, they would be equipped to relocate immediately. They say the League of Nations is a fable to use when the world needs an individual which, any thinking individual can find guilty of out-and-out violence. Why is the League of Nations a failure? Because the United States is no longer a member of such a partnership. Why are we continually training soldiers—we will not insiprese by calling them 'reserve officers' in their own words? And why is it so watchfully for foreign alights? Because the policy of the United States has always been one of 'let alone', not 'keep them out'. So the Kansas City Star's Uncle Jacksides us in words of an xyllabate. He insulted our intelligence as well as ur rationality. — P.K.
