HELP YOURSELI
Several have recently contributed to the campus opinion colum on the question of cheating, as a result of the faculty recommendations for stricter supervision. The subject is a personal matter that never ever gets worn out.
One contributor suggested the honor system, publicity, and attempts to form definite anti-cribbing attitudes early in the freshman's career. Another suggested that an investigation might be undertaken to find some of the basic causes of cheating, some defect in the students' attitudes toward the objectives of education. Just what method would be used to find these reasons for cheating is not advanced, and the only one that comes to mind at once is the questionnaire, which is decidedly it adequate in many ways.
Most of our contributors have, however, had some element of truth in their suggestions. Without more definite data on the extent and motivation of cheating, a solution to the whole problem is hard to find.
It may afford some chase to point out, as most of our contributors have done, that present education, being competitive, aimed at a certain grade instead of at the degree of mental adaptability or "intelligence" behind the grade, with the instructor and the students frequently feeling it ethical to try to get the best of each other in any way they can, necessitate in some half-understood way the attitude in the student which causes him to have a perverted notion of the reason he is in college. The interference of outside activities with class work further pulls the emphasis away from real learning.
The root of the problem rests still in the motives for the act. Unfortunately, science has not yet developed a technique of finding and evaluating motivation.
NOT A WINK, IN FACT
Governor Long of Louisiana, recently elected senator from that state, has a violent antipathy for Paul Cyr, his lieutenant governor and the man who becomes acting governor whenever Long leaves the state.
Governor Long wanted to go to a flood control meeting at St. Louis, but he didn't want Cyr to become governor while he was away. Cyr suggested that, to settle the difficulty the two of them could go together. That seemed okch to the governor, who promptly suggested that they bunk together on the trip so as to watch each other continually. The president of the Louisiana senate will govern in their absence.
Beware, governor! You are brave if you can sleep with this most deadly rival in the very same bed. Just think of what he might do to you. He would be no hamster to pass over a glorious palm-held apothecary or a hypodermic injection—a shot—a spell of magic—anything might happen. Beware.
You had better sleep little on this trip.
WHAT! NO DIRECTORY?
Where is the student directory?
Thanksgiving is almost upon us, Christ-
mas is just around the corner, the first
semester's close is being thought of
seriously, and still there is no 1931
student directory. Something, as usual.
A daily newspaper gets out on the streets each and every day. Magazines are usually published somewhere in the immediate vicinity of the date set for their publications. Even the Jayhawker appears each month in the school year. There are no alibis for them. And the Sour Owl appears regularly.
But the directory always has an aliba.
Something went wrong and the date set for its appearance must be set back.
The second date is set back, the third date is set back, and so on indefinitely.
This year the students have given up and have forgotten that such a thing necessarily in the process of formation.
Probably nothing can be done about the lateness of this year's edition. We trust it comes out before the end of the school year, however.
NOT LAUNDRY MARKS
One of our contributors to the campa-
pion opinion colum, Mr. (you) can read his name in the lower left-hand柜
of his letter, reading from top to bottom), wanted to say something on
various campus situations in the Kansan.
Unfortunately, the Kansan doesn't have any of his particular characters in
stock right now—it was fresh out of his alphabet, in other words.
We gave him a piece of metal with some chalk on it and a couple of tools,
somewhat like the tools that are com-
monly used at the dinner table, and
told him to scraach ahead. He felt so pleased that he throw in a couple of
pictures to illustrate his letter. One can judge from them just what the
letter itself saves.
The Kansas feels proud that it did not have to restrict freedom of speech on the campus, and whether Mr. Yamoto is cussing this great moral journal out or blessing it from as far back as his seventh ancestor, it makes no difference. The campus tradition of free speech has been preserved.
CONFLICT
"Wars between nations, wars between groups within nations, industrial conflicts, all end in what appears to be victory for one of the contenders, but the real victory comes only after the battle has been forgotten," declared the President Saturday night. His words are particularly significant as Armistice Day approaches, for that should be the occasion of renewing the determination to eliminate the causes of war.
The old idea of sociology, that conflict was necessary to define the status of a group in society, has been modified. The present idea of conflict and competition is of a process which is raised within rules so as to avoid waste and disaster. By itself, without regulation, conflict is disastrous to society. Carried on within a co-operative enterprise, it means progress. A research laboratory for example, is carried on co-operatively—the ideas of all the participants—that conflict is conflict for prestige and the conflict of discussion to develop invention.
War is wasted energy which might be turned to the benefit of society. Industrial conflict is just so much escaped steam. The patient, through search for the causes of war and of devastating conflicts of all sorts must go on.
"The game has been allowed to drift from its original purpose of giving undergraduates an ideal competitive sport peculiar to the needs of youth," says Sol Meter, football writer, coach, and captain of the 1903 Pennsylvania team. Some of the eastern alumni of various colleges have charged that football is a "racket." Meter suggests a return to student coaches, and less publicity.
LESS EMPHASIS ON VICTORY
Football has long been considered to bring both endowment and students to the institution where the team was victorious. In the Nov. 8 issue of the Saturday Evening Post, Metzger sites examples to prove the fallacy of this assumption; he mentions Centre, Notre Dame, Duke, the University of Chicago, Villanova, Vanderbilt and others as examples of colleges not particularly affected in any way by the success or failure of their football teams.
Whether or not a return to student coaching would solve the problem without a change in the whole public attitude, it must be admitted that football as played at present is highly dis-
tallened from its original purpose. College
scholarship has suffered. Victory has
been too greatly emphasized. The results have been unfortunate.
Nobody attacks athletes; few attack
intercollegiate athletics; but an increase
number of intellectual and
women are seeing that athletics should exist for the college, not the college for he athletics.
The city council of El Paso, Texas has decreed that only American citizens may be employed. Who will do their laundry for them?
Campus Opinion
CHEATING
Editor Daily Kansan;
The article appearing in *Campus Opinion* several days ago on cheating at K. U. interested me very much. I agree with the writer that much could be done to prevent it. Honor Code, the co-operation of all organized houses, etc. But after all is the fault entirely the students? I feel that a small school system should be attacked
Nearly everyone has the same idea of school; it is a place where one enrolls in classes, and helps students with classes, and unfair or unfair means so that he can say, "Yes, I made an A." Students should help give help some in getting jobs and give a student a paul with his professor. But
School training should inspire a desire for more knowledge and create an environment to work toward life and its problems. Until a student learns that education is not a means to succeed, the student will little on grades, I doubt whether much can be done to remedy this problem.
WOLVES
Perhaps a primary cause in this problem is the "speed" with which we live. We must crowd into a few hours. Teachers and professors seem to think that a student is enrolled in only one course, but we can have one has four or five such courses, he feels like quitting. How can he possibly do everything that is required of him? I don't want to lecture on his bed and moves his bed over to the library. I do not mean to blame the professors entirely for this problem, because students should have a sense of honor and try to play square. However, I do think that a student might be justified in re-enrolling himself in a course consist of five or six pages of mimeographed questions asking for (a), (b), and (c) points about this or that, or to (b) and (c) points about this or that, this is done and called education.
Conditions may be remedied by making all sorts of penalties and having an honor code; however, the does not change what it will be possible to change things entirely or permanently until the student has completed a Bachelor's grade and set up different objectives of education. Then the student will be in school for what he can learn, learn it, and citizenize and live a fuller life. He will not care what the professors think, but will ideate. The professor will direct his pursuits, but will not stand over him with an A or B as a club. True, this rule still Rome was the norm in a day. F. J. S.
The Kansas football team started the season by winning four games in row. Everything was lovely. The team had a roster that no one was told was heist. No one was bowling for a new athletic director, n one wanted a new coach. Then th kansas team lost a couple of games and they were out. The wolves have started bowling again.
Editor Daily Kansan:
A team must win invariably or something must be done about the situation and immediately. So say the fans. And that is why schools go about the business at all cost. They've got to have winning teams to satisfy the wolves.
Kansas lost to Nebraska because it was just one of those days that every athletic team of any sort experiences
seasonally. It was one of those day when everything goes wrong. It happens the phase of everyday life. Everyone has his or her unexpectedly the unexpectedly howling about that and that thing is responsible and that the only way to clear things up is to get them out.
There seems no way of satisfying the bunch of blood-hungry wolves. Every team has to be prepared for necessary evil. But until an attitude of sportmanship and a willingness to stand by the team win or lose is developed, the team will never be elsewhere will always be in a mean condition and the fight for players to achieve a final team will be fought to a finish.
POOR SPORTS
Editor Daily Kansan:
To err is human. Football men for the past five weeks have had bad bequests to their parents, and it has been a long as a term in winning, the school has been hit when it loses, the "booster" are no longer.
The quarterback gets credit for the generalship of the team. If the team wins, he receives the praise. If the team loses, the loss is attributed to him.
We glorify our athletes for the glory they bring, on the school by victories. But when a man makes an error, the team falls from the stand, yells, "Take him up."
In each of the past two games played here at home, fans in the stadium have yelled to have some man taken out and another put in his place. That job be-
It is customary when a man retires from the game for the fans in the stadium to applaud him for the work done by the players and to congratulate when one of the Kansas men came running off the field after he had been replaced in the lineup by a substitute, the fame "boeud" beoed so loudly that the sound drowned the applause he re-
Students are loyal. Yes. To who? They are loyal to teams as long as they win. No longer, apparently. The poo won. So they were in the team. They were in the stadium.
This player did not receive the credit he should have had. A lot of encouragement came to him, and much reception. He has spent three hours every afternoon on the athletic field.
FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN
Editor Daily Karanjee
It is generally agreed by all who band her test that the woman student who had been in contact with the contest content is intelligent. In her speech she attacked the system in our curricula and claimed that the group requirement before a student is allowed to follow his indications as to
W. N.
Perhaps her arguments were fallacious and bespeak the attitude of an authority, but perhaps her arguments expressed the attitude of probably a great majority of students who would worth considering by the faculty. Perhaps the group-filling system is a good practice; it has been the system followed in the past does not prove that it is a worthy alternative.
Perhaps older heads know best. But the fast returns that students don't like it. And some students are capable of giving the thing some highly intelligent thought. Wouldn't it be wise to have more focused, more core student opinion on the subject?
