"CRASS INGRATITUDE"
The Kausan noted with surprise the Campus Opinion last Tuesday concerning the structure which has been placed atop the new student hospital. But it disclaims emphatically the assertion of the writer that the Kausan is guilty of "grass infratitude," and is looking "a gift house in the mouth."
It is not the policy nor practice of the Kanman to look gift horses in the month, nor even to make itself guilty of cross ingroutment. As far as architectural beauty is concerned the hospital or as ranks with the best of the University buildings. As far as ultimate service and convenience are concerned the gift is welcome beyond conception. As far as gratitude for the gift is concerned the Kanman joins in the universal thanksgiving.
However, it is not the building which the Kaman was criticizing, but rather the architectural phenomenon which has been placed on the roof of the tower. It may have a purpose, but in beauty and appropriation it is sadly deficient. From the south especially the view is particularly depressing.
The Koean is merely wondering if the designer of the hospital could not have found a decoration which would have been more appropriate to the general architectural style of a beautiful building.
CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS
The Kanman classified column reports the loss of two fraternity pins recently, one near Potter lake and the other near the stadium. Perhaps the astronomy lab class went on a hike.
The buildings and grounds department has been improving the south side of the University campus; the backyard will soon share the attractiveness of the front approach.
The thorndale south of the Powder shops has been transformed from an ugly dangerous stretch of road into a beautiful, friendly-safe drive. A curb has been laid around the curves; is being laid out of the power house as well as back of the astronomy laboratory. The south approach is fast becoming one of the most beautiful details of the campus.
An improved all-wetter pathway leading from the stadium to the administration building is badly needed for the students who use this route in going to school, as many do. When the weather is favorable the present path is satisfactory enough, but when the weather is bad, it is practically impossible to use this path. Much delay in getting to the Hill result, with tardiness in 830 classes, and if the path is used during bad weather, muddy tenacity of the front approach. shoes irritate landlords. Couldn't this be improved?
After thinking it over for quite some time we have concluded that the only cure for this depression is another "Mollie and Me" song.
NO MON—NO FUN
A United Press survey recently brought to light the fact that college men and women are cutting their social budgets to fit the depression pattern. Individual dates as well as university dances are suffering drastic economic reductions.
What of the situation here? The women
are still frantically figuring out ways and means of bigger and better gold-digging. Movie prices have not been reduced, and in spite of the fact that gasoline is cheap, rented cars are as expensive in the days of plenty. But even with the modern economy man dig deep into his pocket and cokes still cost a nickel.
Something should be done. University women receive an allowance as high as that of the average college man. One of two things must happen: either the women must voluntarily agree to reduce their demands upon their escorts, or they must dig deep into their vintages and help the financially embarrassed soul by paying half the bill.
Such an arrangement as the latter would hardship to no one. If it were accepted as customary on the fill as a temporary relief measure, no embarrassment need enue. Students could at least give it a try.
If the women will not agree to either of the two plans suggested, the men should try boycotting the damms. Think what fun it would be to say "Sorry, we are having no social engagements until an agreeable arrangement is made."
And it works both ways:—No mon,
no fun.
PIGSKIN VERSUS POVERTY
No more will be heard the loud lion wails raised over athletic ruining the colleges, subdivation, and the extravagant expenditure of - tax payers' money for huge stadiums. The yells are unbinding to inaudible whispers which are gradually changing to words of praise for the condition so heartily condemned in raisins.
Why?
Because someone has applied the piknik to poverty. Someone has discovered that the public has been overlooking a source for charity that runs into hundreds of thousands of dollars. The public can speak the language ofollers and cents.
The new attitude is not confined to colleges. It takes in high schools, denominational institutions, and private schools, any institution which can pro-
knowledge any manifestation which provides eleven men with a knowledge of football and willingness to play one name for the benefit of charity.
And with the discovery comes a host of new fans, many of whom so bitterly denounced the foremost college sport. They come not in the interest of school spirit or school loyalty. Their is a different motive from that of the student.
The brightly jerseyed hall lugger weaving among tacklers toward the goal wins their respect and admiration in the same fashion in which the man with the ten dollar bill wins approval of the holiday shopping crowd as he steps toward the Santa Claus presiding over the small black kettle labeled "For the Poor."
Charity salutes the wound of extravagance and football satisfies the desire for entertainment. Thus pikins and cocks make an irresistible combination.
INTER-SCHOOL. CONTACTS
In every college, large and small, from Wisconsin to Alabama, from Dartmouth to Leland Stanford, the average student has a fairly thorough knowledge of the athletic prowess and history of the outstanding colleges and universities of the country. But if Mr. Average Student were asked about the consensus at Notre Dame, Yale, or California upon the prohibition question, campus politics, or student self government, it is extremely doubtful whether one intelligent answer, based on actual knowledge of the situation at that school, would be forthcoming.
With the exception of athletics, there is a weak lack of contact and understanding between the colleges and universities of the nation, and for that matter, between schools within fairly small localities. What does the student at the University of Kansas know of the thought trends and movements of various kinds at Iowa State? What does Joe College at Purdue know about his campus life and activities of Joe college at Illinois? The answer is—nothing.
Exchange scholars, traveling fellowships, and interrogate debating have to a certain extent, fostered an inter-university exchange of ideas and opinions, but they are a pitiful inadequate means of accomplishing that end in view of the unlimited possibilities of such a plan. Some definite organization must take place by the schools they are to realize the enormous potential benefits to be obtained by exchanging ideas with other institutions on social, religious, political, and moral topics.
Such a condition is worth dreaming about and working for. It would be a definite step toward making university life and education a more nearly ideal thing.
Campus Opinion
--o
Editor Daily Kansan;
Inasmuch as there has been much discussion concerning the ornament on the new hospital building, and upon its succession of less expressly referred to as a "applique," we have a humble suggestion to make. The question seems to be of some imminence, as we have commented on the part of students and others. Therefore, we feel that in such a weighty matter the word designative should be spelled correctly, and the word be spelled correctly. The Kanson staff will find upon reference to Webster's (or Funk and Wagtail) that the word
