AN AID TO STUDENTS
Mr. Elibel has worked well to build up a keen interest in intramural sports, and he has added different activities to be sure to catch the interest of a majority of the students.
This fall he brought touch-football to the campus for the first time. In other years playground ball has been played in the fall, but in order to have a more timely sport for this season of the year, the new game was introduced.
Men students, both new and old have come to appreciate intramural activities at the University, as conducted by Erin Blair, director. They have not only afforded students an opportunity to participate in various sports, but they have also given them the opportunity to add to their acquaintances on the campus. In other words, the intramural program has not only solved the problem of sports for a majority of students who cannot compete in varsity athletics, but it has also served to bring together students with like futures.
Many students are playing touch- football for the first time, and the manner in which they have responded to it shows how popular the intramural department has come to be at the University.
SOCIAL GRACE
One of the things the curriculum of the University needs is a course in etiquette. The students are turned out with the technical knowledge requisite for success in their professions, but lacking in the qualities that make for social grace. After all, one of the things which determine your place in life is your breeding.
What chance would you have of being a success if you used the wrong knife for dinner at the boss's house? Even the daughter wouldn't find you interesting, and your career would be ruined. Can you imagine the horror of a successful young business woman appearing at a formal dance wearing a wrist watch? It has been done, and the victim thoroughly criticized without being aware of it. How much embarrassment would be saved us if we only knew the correct thing to do. The only instruction some students have in etiquette is through advertisements which tell them what is proper and what isn't.
Many people are successful not because they are brilliant or because they study constantly, but because they have personality and know how to meet people. All this might be cultivated through a knowledge of etiquette. We should have such a course in social science, and Emily Post might well be used as a text.
MURRAY AND THE OLD LID
Since BILL Murray, colorful governor of our sister state, issued an order a few days ago turning on the pumps in two of the largest oil fields in the world, many a self-styled "wise guy" has probably nodded his head and sait "I told you so."
Murray's shutdown edict of last August drew plenty of fire when he ordered marital law in the Seminole and Oklahoma City oil fields in his demand for $14-barrel crude. It continued to bring down critical until the production ban was lifted with a top crude price of seventy cents.
That Murray has failed so far in his
original purpose is evident. But he should not be severely criticised for his honest effort to raise prices. Rather he should be commended.
With our present economic system shaking from one *jolt* after another, this day must necessarily be one of experimentation. Perhaps Mr. Murray's act was not based on economic theory. On the other hand, it may have been backed by the soundest of economic foundations. Who knows today what sound business theory is anyway?
At any rate the price of erudite has been almost trebled. Whether it will stay up one knows, and time only will tell. But whatever has happened or will happen, Murray should be given credit for trying and trying hard.
JUST IMAGINE
Just imagine how many eating benches on the campus and downtown would go out of business if the students could pack in the packets in their pocket and call it a meal.
Miss Layvaughn Dennison, a student at Ohio University, has contributed a cracker which, Dr. John F. Lymon of the department of agricultural chemistry says, contains the staple elements of the human diet.
The Kansas City Star objects to this cracker on the plate that it breaks down the meal as a social function. It looks as if there were enough ten parties and other activities around the University at which everyone should get in their quota of speech making for the day without such a complaint. And look how much time it would save to crunch on a cracker and call it a meal.
OUR "TWO" PARTIES
With the next presidential election just around the corner, it is safe to say that the two major parties are not meeting, secretly of course, to discuss issues and men—that is to say, men who will appeal to the public through personal abilities—and the biggest problem of all: how to avoid important to sue. One historian has said that if the two parties were placed in different bottles and not labeled, it would be impossible to tell one from the other. And in view of the last six or eight elections, the observer is inclined to agree.
Both parties will handle the question as they would a quart of liquor in a crowded hotel lobby. Neither will take an outfit stand on the question, but both will make flowery speeches to assure the voting public that the utmost attention is being given the question. The same can be said for the high tariff, the cancellation of war debts, the League of Nations, the world court and other important issues.
Parties have ceased to appeal to the voters through issues. Instead they have built up powerful machines, thus assuring themselves of certain votes and gaining confidence for others through hypocritical gestures.
So it is safe enough to say that unless the American public has changed 100 per cent since the last presidential election, a party will gain control of the White House through the personal ability of a man, and not by means of a definite stand on the most important issues of the day.
It seems fairly to assume that this offensive, much-discussed depression of ours has taken a monoching grip on almost every other phase of life. The downward trend of prices may have a beneficial effect for professors, who, too, may pass the buck.
Along with these grind, cloudy day
comes the understanding that life is
not all economic. Perhaps there is a
scholastic depression, too.
That old bell-shaped curve which has spelled the fate of so many college students is beginning to take on new proportions. Its sides, which reach eagerly from the 'A' pinnacle at the top, are getting lower and lower down to that region in which no quiz books survive.
Of course there are those people who maintain that life is not all dollars and cents. But coin of the realm can be made to influence almost anyone, and a college professor isn't immune. As midwestern meteorites its nose in.
heat of approaching exams, let us hop
that professors will not demand more
knowledge for that good old "C" just
to keep in tune with our times.
College students are noted for their breadthfulness, their devil-may-cure attitude, and their modern ideas. The typical student is often portrayed as taking nothing seriously. Therefore it seems surprising that the marriages of college graduates ninety-nine times out of a hundred succeed, while the average of all others is one to six.
MARRIAGE
Success in marriage, is only understanding. Perhaps colleges provide a means of such understanding by teacher or the fundamentals of life.
Beg Pardon
What is hard of this? It must mean one thing. The college graduate thinks after all, it can be explained our time so easily, but never the lattest it seems to be true.
The Kansan wishes to apologize for the account of the scores of the Women's intramural volleyball games received in the Thursday evening edition. Through a misunderstanding the scores were reversed. The correct scores are 21, 17, 16, 34, 28, 25, 20, 22, 20, 23, 21, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 23, 22, 23, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 22, 23, 22, 22, 23, 22, 23, 22, 22, 22

"Much has been written in the past two weeks concerning poor play and spirit on the part of our football team that was not only free, but even invested by Editor Knack, the overbearing attitude and poor sportsmanship of the K men, and what is more important, the failure of the student body to show the proper school spirit."
"I wender if our team was so deficient in 'eort' and fight against Haskell when it was up to me to win the after game, and what I saw there put my grandmother coaching ideas of her own on board. She keenly disappointed. I had criticized along with others to tell that team members should not face faces and innumerable bruises that they hadn't tried was a bit inconvenient."

Editor Daily Kansan:
Campus Opinion
"I wender if Editor Krauck really meant all he said, or if, naturally disappointed by the loss, he was inclined to give in," a questionation that he didn't quite understand.
"I wander why school spirit should be as it is; why such a spirit shouldn't be a constant thing, and not only because we have won the one extreme to the other, depending on whether we have victories or defeats. Why must the loss of a football game mean such a gloomy atmosphere? How can we defend ourselves foretread? When two teams meet, one can win, and intercollegiate football would be a great thing if on every Saturday half of the campuses over the hill are filled with ours of ours following a Jayhawk loss.
"I wonder if the K men were not a bit rilled up at the instigations one acted in a way which reflected thought might have altered.
"It is called for and necessary toinate the position of the K club. Under Council we are to see that the freshmen wear caps, that students do not take dates to the games, and that they be maintained. The K club confident of the advisability of having and keeping freshmen. Yet we have received little or no ce
"I wonder if Mr. Schuler, who says that most of the K men have shown themselves to be poor sportmen, wann'a a bit lost in the heat of the argument, and failed to sound what a more careful observation of the facts might have shown.
The purpose of athletic competition is far removed from winning. We students must not become disillusioned on the idea that we can win by bond of affection and loyalty for the University should install and live within us a spirit that will cause us to pull away from this bond of affection and loyalty equally hard for the glory that will come to the University for a losing attempt, well trained well featored with your condemnation of losing. With the football games, we have the greatest attitude toward the University. We have a good team, one just getting ready to show how good it really is. We have an enviable love, but in either case, we must all be behind in the proper spirit. Let's turn the energy of our internal squalliness into the better good, the great glory of K. U.
