MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 1930 It's great to be back on the old HILL again and see the familiar faces. Of course we don't have our lessons, but no one expects us to have them unless it be the instructors. Who would remember an assignment over the holiday, much less prepare it? BACK AGAIN We greet our undefeated basketball team fresh from their intersections tits with California, and promise to be on hand when the whistle blow tonight sending them against the strong Mexican team for the first international game ever played by a Kansas athletic team. Hurried conversations on the campus and in the corridors tell of the sectional or national meeting of travel; most of us talk of parties and dances and shows we attended while home. It was a great time. There are queries concerning some who have not returned. "Financial difficulties" is an old friend in explanation. The stock phrase is enough to justify the absence of those who feel "better off at home." We look at new snow hall. We are now having classes there. And that reminds us of the semester examinations. Three weeks to study hard and possibly raises that wavering subject a grade point. No more parties or shows for a while now—not many of them anywhere, at any time. It's funny; but we're glad to be back again. Hungarian hatters boycott salesmen who go bareheaded, says a New York Times headline. No American college boys need apply. LATIN'S FAVORITE SPORT As football is to the American flirting to the French and skiing to the Dane, so is the sport of assassination to the Latin. The slumbering passion of his lazy temperament is aroused to a wide awake interest that stops at nothing when he indulges in this favorite sport. The leaps and bounds by which our football passion has grown in popularity recently have been parallelized by similar rapid growth in that of assassination among the Latins. Victory is not as necessary to their enjoyment of the sport, however, as it has become in our national game. The first great event of the season was the attempted assassination of Prince Humbert, he apparent to the Italian throne, while on his betrothed visit to the Belgian princess in Brussels. This event was closely followed by the unearthing of a plot to kill not only the Belgian princess but the entire Belgian royal family on its way to Rome for the wedding ceremonies. Both of these attempts were made by sport-loving Italians, to say nothing of a still more recent plot to assassinate the Italian delegates to the League of Nations on January 13. In the past few weeks others of the Latin race have attempted the assassination of the Argentine president in South America, and the usual attempts have been made upon the life of the president-elect of Mexico. Sport is all right in its place. But alas, we have fears. Are not the latins becoming professionized? There is a need for an investigation by the Carnegie Institute. HISTORY MAY REPEAT Glimpse of a basketball glory of the past have returned to Mt. Oread. After capturing the season's opening with Washburn the Jawahar caggers have in turn defeated the title-raising Missouri Tigers, and the Golden Bears of California, champions of the Pacific Coast. Three did Doctor Allen's protégé turn back the California team, each time by a decisive score. Following rather rugged exhibitions with Washburn and Missouri, the Kansas five began to function with machine-like precision and smoothness. Not only has the offense piled up good scores, but the defense has forced the opposition to hurry their shots. The reserve strength seems to be potent enough to meet any unbooked for emergency. With a team branded as a Nig Rig conference contender, sports experts once more are conjuring up reminences of the great Jayhawk court teams of the past which won six straight valley titles and which held a record of thirty-four consecutive victories. The two champion Souners, and Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa State and Kansas State, all are deemed dangerous foes, but many favor the rising fortunes of the Jayhawkers. With a队 headened for championship honors, it is time that the students began to realize that Kansas again is decidedly in the backhatch race. It will soon be time for the annual epidemic of poor eye-sight to hit the student body. YOUR RELIGION? BAH! Two subjects exist which, when brought up in conversation, always cause hard feeling and anger; these are politics and religion. The former is showing improvement as a topie for small (or large) talk, since the advent and near-acceptance of insurgents in politics; but for some reason or other, a religious discussion is still likely to start a near riot, with everyone talking at once and many becoming so red in the face as to set a casual observer worrying about his health. We say a casual observer, for everyone who is taking part in the discussion is temporarily oblivious to all but his own preloaded ideas, and is all wrapped up in the effort to force the others to believe as he does. Why is it that a religious discussion should end thus? Is there any reason for religion's working against the better judgment of a group more than literary criticism? Yes, there—people refuse to think, where religion is concerned. If we would think about it a little, we would realize that the other fellow has as much right to his opinion as we have, and would let him keep it if he wished. But most of us are incapable of thinking on the subject; our minds follow a definite trend of religious ideas, the ideas to which we have been brought up and which we believe are the only ones existent. When we are "turned loose" in the world, we find that others have the most radical, the most absolute foolish ideas in the world and our first thought is to reform them. But they have the same notion about us, and the result is an attempt to force wills—a thing that cannot be done. AN OPPORTUNITY MISSED Tonight will the Jayhawkers entertain the University of Mexico's basketball team on the local court. Kansas City will be entertaining the president-elect of Mexico, Senior Pascal Ortiz Rubio, at a dinner arranged for his brief visit to the middle west. With Senior Rubio stopping overnight so close to Lawrence, it is unfortunate that some arrangements could not have been made to have had him as the University's guest at the basketball game tonight. Truly, then, the game would have been an international affair. Had it not been for the disruption of school affairs by Christmas vacation, perhaps advantage could have been taken of the unique opportunity, provided that arrangements could have been made with Senior Rubio and his party. AN OPPORTUNITY MISSED HOOVER'S REAL TEST HOYVER President Hoover enters the tenth president of his administration with most important national and international questions coming to a head. The manner in which these problems are handled and finally settled will to a great extent determine the success of his administration. what kinds of leaders? The status of Hoover as a leader will have a bearing on the outcome of the approaching congressional elections. Consequently, the whole administration faces a crisis. Just how the naval conference, the prohibition, tariff, and farm relief questions will be handled, will show what kind of leader the President is. So far, Mr. Hoover has shown that he believes in working out problems through commissions. Whether such a procedure helps or hurts his political prestige cannot yet be determined. Illusions are common after Christmas celebrations but when Kansas Citizens see a wolf in the park for a week afterwards, it seems to us that there is ground for investigation. The trouble with most old dogs who become that the younger generation is going to the dogs is that they have already gone to the how-owes.

America's Court of Dress To Forecast Male Styles Chicago — (UF) – Decisions on what the well-dressed man will wear next year are to be handed down by the mayor, who is also the national Merchant Tailors' Association of America — which convene in Chicago, Jan. 28, for a four-day meeting.

Or life for that article of apparel. The tailors will sit en bane, while before them in review pass scores of models "costumed to the nines" in the latest modes and colors. Some tailors hold, some confined. All will have their chances before the judges. One of the features of the convening of the court of dress will be a May party on Jan. 28, at which every comfortable light-weight garment, parka or tropical suit to the latest tennis, golf and sporting taps will be shown. Gary Cooper, well known movie star of Hollywood, Calif., will be one of the guests at the concert conducted by the Sunflower of Kansas State Touchea College.

Another Hunting Stor Iron Mountain, Mich.—(UP)—New (after you read this) you tell one, but take into consideration that this one is supposed to be true. An employee of the Ford plant with a hunger for venison drove to the woods for a day's hunting. He stepped into a crinkled cabin because a brisk wind was blowing, placed a brown blanket over the radiator. Then he ambled off into the woods. When he had walked a fair distance, he stopped and looked about. Through the brush he saw a move on his shoulder, which led to his shoulder, he let go, and as the patch continued to move he continued to fire. Finally he investigated. He found that a man was sitting in front of his car, pumps the radiator from the front and windshield. Look at Your Shoes Are your soles thin? Are your heels worn? We make your shoes look like new.
