MONDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1931 IF WINTER COMES That long stretch of amiable weather this locality has known for the past few weeks changed last night. Rain came, but it was not the old lead, blustery衬衫 that February usually gives to Kansas. Stirring the earth softly and rhythmically, as if to apologize for its belai appearance, the rain fell on sun-dried ground and was swallowed thirstily. Grass patched by the long stage of the sun, is depending to a tender green, and occasionally a stray blaze its head to shake off暴雨. The water's surface in sun; a sky subdued and grey has supplanted the metallic bright one that has been with its so long. And the wind is blowing causally. It can be winter, but the proof lacks convincingness. THE PROPOSED BILL ON OUT-OF-STATE STUDENTS Education cannot be measured by rule; neither can it be measured by weight. Education takes into account the actual degree of intangible as to defy measurement. It is safe to assume that now there are as many Kansas students going out of state schools as there are non-resident students enrolled in Kansas schools. If this is not the case it is a tribute to our educational system; if it is true and the Kramer bell is passed Kansas will be placed in a position of taking much and giving little. The proposal to tax non-resident students so much more than resident students would decrease the enrollment of all state schools, bring comure and retaliating laws from other states, and would make the schools political stock to be bargained in to the best advantage of politicians. Our faculty would become the trembling henchmen of unsurprulous politicians. It would be impossible to retain the present faculty of political free thinkers. TIMES CHANGE There are a lot of perished and enigmatic questions being asked here of late. An example is that humanists keep asking, "Whither civilization?" Another is, "Whither culture?" Each has to do with markin at larger, in the minds of several loyal Jay-ers who have been driven into inquiry that has become more imminent since the football season ended. It is, "Whither school spirit?" With a Big Six football championship definitely attest her brow, the University has again relaxed. "Phog" Allen has built a smooth-swooping, hard-playing basketball team, now tied for the lead of the Big Six with Nebraska. There was a time, perhaps, when the possibility of two successive valley titles would have put the school in a frenzy, but present indications point emphatic days are definitely gone. The student basker, a casual butmaster, appreciative in a melow way, interested but not zoolou, proud but not ostentatious. Occasionally a crowd hisses the umpire, but it soon tides of that diversion. No longer does a through crowd the station to see the victors return. Old college novels away back in the decade from 1914 to 1924, painted those scenes memorably; and in turtles-neck sweaters quietly alighting; fresh-cheeked, uncouple co-ea running impulseively, crying, "How proud are of you"; froock-coated professors unbending enough to say, "The a school party with playing cards and the heroic琴课 struggling through the mentalabyrinth of a game like "authors", the coach, who was no unwilling as a speaker, arising and in the great hush that followed, saying among other things, "The team gets the credit for winning, but your five loyalty was. I assure you a perceptible factor." And later the school convened out on the vacant lot, built a huge fire out of boxes and things, sung until the hourly heat of eleven (p.m.). Then, disbanding, they drifted off to their homes, with Tom bathe the fresh-checked, unrather has who was so proud of him, and his team-mates, somehow being shown the same pride by other appreciative young ladies. Well, those were the days, as he has been said, before modernity came. Today a valley championship is just a valley championship. Other things are significant. One must study. One has aged enough so that emotions are silly things, rather antidiluvian, and reminiscent of writers like Ralph Barbour (whose heroes he "The Young Pitcher"), and their contemporaries. Today Kansas are, when they think of athletics, apt to be more static than static. Maybe they have been reading Doss Passa's "42nd Farmland" or viewing a collection of cultistic paintings. Anyway, we ask the question, "Whither the old spirit?" MAYBE HE'S AN AESTHETE Saturday night, William Roberts, of Northern University, had arranged to take Helen Kane, the singer of vapid songs, to a charity舞. Helen awaited him. The time came for his appearance; Roberts did not appear. Helen grew nervous; she failed to break into song but freed instead. Feeling that Mine Kane's artistry might suffer, Fred DeCordova, who understood that Roberts would not appear, gathered Helen up along with his own date, took her to the party, but later allowed her to go home unaccompanied except by the presence of be non-secretary, a woman. Roberta meantime remains shrouded and apart from the general state of affairs. He is an enigma. Is it that young colleague, perhaps possessing an innate hatred of singing and artists in general, could have succumbed to his inhibitions and disappeared? Or is it logical to believe that he finds beauty and solace in music, and feared seeing Helen, thinking perhaps that she might be more like a dog. What 'dog' sentiments where the burden is squeezed into a "you and me" or a "your lips and my lips" sort of inquisi- Traces of Roberts, as has been said, have not yielded themselves. His character is not known. He is a student; he broke a date with a lady, who in this are and with the standards of this see stands high in her field. The general public likes to think of students as a type that would loam at the chance Roberts had. And on the other hand, there are a lot of collegegirls hoping that the Northwestern boy's action is an indication that university men's taste in an agreeable evening are changing; Changing, that is enough so that Mia Helen Kane, who points cacophonous blues, would be distasteful as a companion. THE POLITICAL SCENE IN CHICAGO The egg traffic evidently has not suffered from the raackeret's gavel in Chicago. Last week someone, probably not in strict accord with "Big Bill" Thompson's ideas about himself and his administration, loosed a barge at the heavyweight political savant who is now campaigning for a third term as Chicago mayor. But what is happening in Chicago? It might be summed up as American politics in all its fumery, a scene that is interesting because it is such an extravaganza. Two figures are most prominent on the stage. "Big Bill" campaign is carried out with the aid of a circle of array animals, and he him- himself, a blustering mountain bog, big-pipingman, a blushing mountain bargehog, and a chamberbrain in a rack bunkhouse, by the other figure, Judge John H. Lyle. The latter, a municipal judge, has been called "just another professional politician," although we had thought that all politicians were of a professional nature while colleges reserved the right to distinguish between am- teurism and professionalism in their athletes. Chicago has another week left to sit back and enjoy its primary nice bit between Big Bill of the ponderous girth, and his alim-waited crusading opponent, *Lyle*. Big Bill says he doesn't want the office for what it has to offer in the nature of a salary, adding perhaps that his presence is needed to see that Chicago is a good host to the World's Fair which is to be held there in 1933. Lyle charges Thompson with criminal alliances that are throttling the city. And while the flamboyant show continues, people are being killed, business held up, and new criminal records hung up in a city that has outgrown its facilities for proper protection from the corruption of politics. Our Contemporaries COLLEGE DRINKING --- A little while ago, the University authorities made a survey of the situation among the students in regard to drinking. The answers to the questions are given below, and presumably the boys told the facts. Boys have a habit of doing this and it is one of the glories of youth that it causes them to fail to accept hypochondrial statements. There has been an undo amount of publicity because some place between two and six students of the State University, or alleged students, were arrested in Olathe and Topok for having in their possession small amounts The Associated Press and all other news gathering associations would rather make an interesting story out of one thing than out of two thousand who do right. Under this survey made at Lawrence it was found that about twenty per cent of the people drank, and that hardly any of them could be classified as doing more than drinking at some social meeting, especially to town with bottles on their hips. I doubt if any similar group of young men in the country could make a better showing, and it is certainly unfair to these lads at Lawrence and at the University when they scorn just because there are a few who do not keep the faith. There are some three thousand men students at Lawrence and I presume a hundred or two hundred of them or perhaps more would take a drink if it were me. And I quite sure that a larger pet cat these fokks at home would do the same. Drinking is not the worst habit for young men, although it is had enough. The other side of the matter is because of the general interest through the country in the subject of prohibit- Perhaps it will be a long time before all the boys in the high schools and colleges quit drinking. It will probably be about the time that the men outnumber the women, and that date seems to be somewhat distant as yet. But at least we can take comfort from the fact that the spirit which make them natural friends of truth and enemies of hypocrisy. It is from their ranks that the important leadership in total abstinence must come. We can see the real hopes for the future. --- The AIEE picture for the Jayhawkers will be taken at Squire's Studio at 12:30 on Thursday, Feb. 16. JACK WORNER, Chairman.

UNIVERSITY VKSPER CHOTUS In the meantime, let us quit slurring the college boys because a few happen to makeools of themselves like their father did. -W. Y.
