OUR MODERN SCHOLARS
Elizabeth Winslow, in an article in "The North American Review," tells us how greatly students in colleges today differ from those in the day of our parents. She says that although there has been no change in fundamental types of student mind there have been changes in other directions equally fundamental.
She tells us that students have changed in their attitude toward their own education. Modern students do not come to classes as those who are about to explore a mystery. They do not feel peculiarly privileged nor do they bring any honour of aid to their supposedly wiser masters. Students come to college today surprisingly well informed about many things not contained in books.
According to Miss Window they are also self-sufficient and resourceful to an astonishing degree. This store of practical knowledge and this ability in the handling of concrete problems, very naturally reduces a student's aye in the presence of his teacher.
Another great difference of modern students is that it is only the exceptional ones who have ventured an distance beyond the limits of their own century in reading. For example, they are amazingly ignorant of the Bible. In their minds Job is reduced to a noun simulating their main objective.
Modern students are less at home in the world of reflection than their predecessors of another heritage. They demand that things be put very concretely. The students demand to be shown all four corners of a subject so that they may take them down in their notebooks and learn them at examination time.
The author explains this change in students by the fact that they are the product of change. "There has been little escape from hard actuality, Youth, living at high speed but Elizabethan in mortality, is in no mood to sit at the feet of its elders and say, 'Tell us all.'"
What interesting things we learn about ourselves. Is Miss Winslow seeing things or not?
When the w. S. G. A. sponsors vocational week that doesn't necessarily mean better biscuits.
ROBBIE'S RETIREMENT
Bobbie Jones deserves a vote of sympathy. Having conquered everything in sight so that he has nothing else to conquer, he retires into oblivion. Peer of all golfers, he has never needed an introduction. Everyone knows who Bobbie Jones is. But in a few years his past history will have to be recalled and recited when he is introduced to anyone.
It's too bad when a man gets so big in his profession that no one can afford him any competition. He is like the fellow that all dressed up with no place to go. Especially when a man is still young and vigorous as he is, it seems doubly sad.
He will make motion pictures of an educational nature, he says. But he will no longer go about the serious business of winning golf championships, for the simple reason that he has them all won already. The public has got used to the sight of him on a golf course in the act of winning some championship. Movies of him have

THESE PERSONALITY BOYS
In every group of human beings is found a large percentage of Babbitts. So Kansas has her share of them. They are the type of people who snaps briskly down the street with a fixed Rotarian smile, shouting greetings to all within range of their voice. Occasionally they stop and hold up a finger and with rage gaze exclaim: "Look at that, ain't that swollen?"
Everything is jake. Their enthusiasm carries them along into every concivable campus activity. It develops their personality, it broadens them, it gives them training to make more useful citizens. When they get to be middle-aged, they will still be giving lead buzzbuzz. When they get ready to die they will rise up and with a trembling elbow resting against the pillow shout: "Hurrah for everything and everybody!"
They are the people who run around in circles all their lives and end up about where they started. But they have a good time doing it. So they are not to be pitied. Life to them is a pretty "swell" adventure. A pat on the back is their stimulus, and if there is no one to put them, they put themselves. On the campus many extra-curricular activities could not exist without them. In the world of business they bring an enthusiasm that keeps people buoyant and deluded into the belief that they are going to get their money back after the bank has gone broke. Such people have their place.
But if some kind of a damper could be applied to silence them on Mr M. Oread, perhaps the real aim of education would permeate around a little better. Significant things might begin to soak in, the real value of a man might be measured more accurately, caste might be almost eliminated, sham and pretence done away with. All that is made now is the damper.
WE WANT CULTURE
At a time when most men are busy with talk about a financial depression, it is encouraging to note that some of them realize the need of cultural development. In Kansas City a group of influential business men have given a lecture on how energy to the project of presenting good drama in one of the剧院s.
Numerous financial obstacles had to be met before the project was complete, and for a time it appeared that it would be impossible to bring such a company to Kansas City. But the problems seem to have been met by this group of men who realize the need for such a development, and the opening of a theater in Kansas City theater-poets. Fortunately, the middle-west appreciates the presentation of legitimate drama as well as it does animal show.

Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
Kansas won at Oklahoma last fall and Oklahoma follows now say that the score should have been 12 to 6 in favor of Oklahoma. At least, that in substance was what he said. The day after night, a radio station at Norman.
The announcer of that station gave alibis about the game for 15 minutes. First, he said that Oklahoma made more gain than the Oklahoma. Of the gain, he gained more yardage than the Jay-hawkers, and even went as far as to say that during the second half when the Kansas team could not “get going” because the ball was too hard to grasp.
He also said that it was an accident that the announcement explained that when Jim Bausch was tackled by three Sooners, he threw the ball with all his strength not to a Kannas back or end, but just to pass. He went on to say that the man who caught the ball jumped high in the air, but as a matter of fact, the receiver failed to catch the ball. In fact, the pass was almost perfect for such a distance.
What is good football? Surely when three men are hanging on a passer and trying to pass the ball over 25 or 30-yard pass to a fellow player, and he catches it, that is real football, the kind people like to read in Kansas made first seven downs to

Nebraska's eight but made more yardage from scrimmage than the Cornhunkers. The Jayhawkers made nine first downs to Pennsylvania's eight and gained more yards than the Quakers. But after each of these two defeats, Kansas scored just four, thus even compare to those that were heard from Oklahoma last night.
ALICE GALLUP. Chairman.
If all the alibi's were written out that were given last night I'm sure that the Jayhawker fami would have a lot to say about good and bad losers.
What would Oklahoma have to say if the first team had played all the time? As yet I have not been able to figure out just when Oklahoma should have gotten two touchdowns. When a team was stopped, then they are stopped in its tracks, the defensive team may be said to be playing real football.
On what basis can the announcer back up his statement that Kawasaki first mundowheel was not carried. It is inaccurate and attempted a total of 20 passes and completed the grand total of three (3). He did not pass. Had the Sons completed any of their passes for large gains and possible wins, he could have been caresed, to be sure.
Then, too, after the first half, after the rain, the ball was too hard to grasp "only" by Oklahoma men, to say nothing of the Kamas players. The an- noun is as an excuse why the Lundey men did "go to getting" in that part of the tilt

If we cannot rely on the common scene and intelligence of the students and townpeople to restrain these disloyalty, I will not give them without redress. As one of the pestiferous law, I want to suggest and urge that the Board of Trustees sue these students so that they would otherwise make proper redress by at least removing these marks. Such action will certainly put a baity end to this disloyalty. Frederick Anderson 132
We decided that, after all, the columns of the Kausan would make a better claim of expression for our seminalate conferring of power to us. We should not ner this age-to-diebile in democracy and everything else, expressed sometimes in the phrase: "Think for yourself." (The danger lies in the use of phrases like the second with its implied ultra-independence). Some lessons, of course, all of us have to learn from experience. Others we should not, but must, if we want to have the best experience of patience of others—in the good sense

and honesty—not of all that would guide us, but of those we have reason to trust. I mean those especially that are so important to the men and women whom we intuitively reclaim.

This does not exclude the opinions of fellow-students or fellow-teachers in so far as they are personally worthy of respect. But
Apropose the disadvantage of depending solely on your own thinking and experience, let me finish with a favorable minime (for tragedy can contain humor). A colored boy bad, for various crimes and misdeedsness, suffered from the arm of the law. Finally, he stabbed a man with fatal effect—or killed him by his own hand. He was hanged. His answer to the judge was earnest, and typical of the unfailing optimism of his race. "All I say, jeopardize us," he leaned to me. "We can but hope so."

Our Contemporaries
To outsiders who are concerned with wholesome athletics in the colleges and abut the continuance of friendly relations among the schools in the Big Six conference, the request of the University of Kansas for the specific equipment seems wholly reasonable. So far the public—and the university—are in the dark. Kansas was told to clean up or get out of the conference. Yet only a few were unsupported by proof, have been made.
The statement of Dr. W. A. Tarr, faculty representative of the University of Missouri in the Big Six conference, is unconvincing. It assumes that the faculty board is made up of people who cannot be accepted by the public without question, without a presentation of the evidence. Undoubtedly the board is made up of high-minded and intelligent men. But even someone with intelligent men are sometimes wrong.
If public opinion is to sustain the board, the public must be informed of the evidence on which the board acted. If there is no evidence that the University of Kansas have made a showing which cannot be swept aside as a mere gesture. Apparently they have tried to get the tempt to get at the bottom of the athletic situation. If the Big Six board has evidences contesting that produced diversity, the public is entitled to have it.
In the absence of any disclosure of such evidence, the conclusion inevitably will be reached that the board has too
week a case to submit. Certainly the maintenance of such an attitude will require that we continue the foreseeance as now constituted, but to the future athletic relations of all the candidates.
