THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1931 ECONOMY The importance of football was adequately shown by the fact that faculty representatives approved the recommendations for economy made by Big Six athletic directors at their recent meeting in Kansas City. Football receipts fell off more than 25 per cent this fall, although the attendance at games had not been decreased. This is indeed alarming; for football receipts are badly needed to carry along minor sports and to meet field house and stadium payments. The faculty representatives, in order to cut down expenses, agreed to abandon their regular spring meeting. This is truly altruistic, even though a tennis meet or some other athletic event between two schools may be more important than the spring vocal meet of faculty men. Other measures for economy were taken, some of which, such as the discontinuance of the round robin schedules in wrestling, baseball, and tennis, may curtail and hamper the full athletic programs of Big Six schools. Minor sports have a definite and vital place in the consistent, complete athletic programs of all universities, but if King Football does not help them pay their bills, they will have to back down for the present. THE UNION Our Union Memorial building is the popular hang-out of many students who like to retreat there during vacant hours or at the noon period to lounge in the soft chairs in the lobby. Current magazines are provided for the persusal of the students—and there's the rub! The periodicals are promiscuously scattered over the main floor of the Union, some being in the men's lounge, some in the ladies' rest room, others on tables, on the radio and even under the chairs. It is almost impossible to find a particular magazine with a lot spending at least fifteen minutes searching for it over the entire lobby. We appreciate the freedom of being able to drop a book anywhere we happen to be when we finish with it, but a more systematic placement of the magazines would be a great help. Perhaps a magazine rack would solve the problem without removing too much of the desired liberty which is taken away when a checking system is used. POLITICS The senate is nothing more than a bickering, deadlocked debating society in the minds of some people. If it continues to behave in the way it began its present session, this belief will be greatly strengthened. Three ballots were taken to elect a president pro tem, and the only result was a row and a deadlock. The Democrat's want Senate Key Pittman of Nevada as the president pro tem; the regular Republicans desire Senator G. H. Moses of New Hampshire, and the insurgent Republicans are in favor of one of four western senators, including Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas. A regular meeting of the University branch of the ALEE, will be held in the auditorium of Marvin hall at 7:30 cclock this evening. Several threes will be demonstrated by seniors of the electrical department. An interference finder will be demonstrated if time permits. JACK C. BROUS. Secretary.

PHYSICAL ABILITY TEST: SNOW ZOOLOGY CLUB: Snow Zoology club will meet this evening at 6 o'clock in room 2031 Snow hall. Doctor Baumbergart will address the club. A. B. LEDONK. SOCIALIST CLUB: Jayhawks Flown Doran Werner will speak on Fabianism before the Journal for Social Studies this evening at 7:30 vclock in room 102 Journal building. Everyone interested should contact Doran Werner at (516) 829-4500. His duty is to know the new laws regulating buses and trucks in this and other states and to check the court decisions on all regulations. He also helps inspectors in handling some of the legal questions relative to enforcement of the law. It does not make very much difference whether a president pro tem is elected or not; for the office is a mere symbol of control. But the question is sufficient and adequate to start the senate off on what will in all probability be one glorious quarrel. There are enough business and social problems confronting the senate to make politics seem of negligible importance, but in view of the coming presidential election and the close division in both houses politics will often be foremost in the minds of both senators and representatives. Happy days are here again. George E. Lee is playing a warm this week. He has the hottest colored band wearing around Kansas City this season. It would seem that Congress might forget itself long enough to dispose of at least the most urgent and pressing business. OFFICIAL SPYING Out in Wyoming, more than four hundred state university students were back in classes yesterday, after being ordered off the campus for objecting to alleged "spying" methods of their president, A. G. Crane. The students had voted to strike because the university president had spied on parked automobiles during the intermission of a recent dance, news dispatches reported. While the students demanded an apology from President Crane, the latter refused and retaliated by ordering the strikers off the campus. Now, however, the affair is in the hands of the University trustees, who have returned the students to school pending the investigation. Such a condition in any state institution of learning is deplorable. Given a sporting chance at almost anything, students usually will look sane at a problem, but when any group of University students is subjected to stool pigeon methods of university officials it goes against the grain. Regardless of the cause for the President's action, the whole affair could surely have been handled with far more tact than the method of direct spying which is reported to have been used. Joe McDowell, 31, is employed a law clerk for the bus and truck department of the Kansas public service com mission at Kansas City. A straight-from-t h e shoulder appeal to a group of students has far more effect than any open or under-cover spying system. "Student Life is Discussed," Headline. Won't they ever let us alone. WITH THE HILL CLIMBERS A recent guest reports that the old apple would glisten a little more brightly if the soxories would compose and learn "barbarian" songs to sing for the plain-vested instructors placed in their houses for dinner. If we may believe the walls of athletic directors, some football team have been playing for charity all season. The greater number of women enroling for rifle and fencing would indicate that the University men are better prepared. It seems there is a greater interest in bridge. an embitten Kansan cub hunting news called the fire department. Instead of calling the fire chief he sent in a general call. We wonder how many card games he broke up with his wife, and how badly his car were burned. A pair of ambitions journalists had a written a musical comedy. The whole thing, except the songs, was written in flashback. The actors are still letting on George Callahan. County clubs meet. We suppose that we must pay our four-bits so that the home town children can see our picture in the Jayhawk. Who says there is a depression? Three thousand students recently at the dance school danced so much that they finished off of the floor. The list of expenses looked like a report for Eddie Montauk to bring back prosperity. Our Contemporaries From the Purdue Exponent: THE FUTURE The old saying, "You can only pay your debt to the past by putting your heart into it," is an assumption that each of us has a debt to the past, as well as food for thought about outward attitude toward the future. Every normal individual, and everyone whoever ever has a great deal of thought to his future. He often wonders what the world has in store for him when he reaches mature age. He should be responsible for living his own life. Air castles are no uncommon thing for the boy or girl of the early teens, and they provide a tactic with the realities of the world and is beginning to realize that he must some day break away from the parental role and become a world. The individual in this stage does not recognize a debt to the past; he is fired mainly with a burning ambition and for himself—an ambition dominated by a considerable amount of selfishness. The college student, and particularly when his view of life is tempered with fewer and fewer emotionalities. His business and business enterprises has taught him the utter futility of many of his childhood dreams. He has also now grown into a well-developed development where he recognizes the extent of that heritage which has been handed him from past generations, and he assumes it in accepting it. Christmas Gifts The adage quoted above correctly implies that the way to pay one's debts to society is through achievement and its consequent benefit fit to society. "Put the future in debt so society will be able to meet the mental challenge for each individual Assume that the future owes you an hold for you success, but recognize that the future owes you a philanthropic thing. The price it ask for success is hard and well directed because of the interest in the welfare of mankind."
