CO-EDUCATION AS PRACTICED IN U. S. COLLEGES IS HARMFUL
Two Members of Oxford Debate Team Think It Lower Scholastic Standards of Men
That co-education is harmful as practiced in colleges in the United States because it lowers the scholarship standards of the men students was the view of both Bernard Macdonald and Richard Aclund, the Oxford debate team, when asked next night what they thought of co-education. Richard Aculun, third member of the team, was so aggroned in talking to a large number of Kanata students that he cannot be approached to be asked what he thought of co-education.
"Mind you, I like it, but as for as far asork is concerned, he immediately requested however, that his statement not beprinted until he had left the campus and he was not being asked the question as thoughwe was desiring of being diplomatic with him."
Mr. MacKenna, however, seemed to have no fear of K. U. women, when
South America Uses European School Plan, Says W. S. Culbertson
Horseback Riding Favorite Sport
Ambassador
"Schools in South America are run under the European plan," according to William S. C. Cubbertson, United States University, who snoke at conventions yesterday.
"The school system is divided into three divisions, the elementary or grade school consists of about eight grades, then the second division which includes high school extends into the sophomore year in college," he continued. Following this is a course in professional work which is four or five years in length. Only students who are aparece in this course go into this higher education.
Mr. Culbertson spoke very highly of the public schools in Chile and especially of those in Santiago. He pointed out that the ball and were very food of all sports but especially for horseback riding. Recently gymnastics for women were introduced into the public schools and women participate in setting an exercise.
"This third division or professional school corresponds with the schools of law and medicine in our American universities," said Ambassador Culbertson.
"The biggest event of the school year in Santiago is 'La Fiesta de la Primera' or the spring flower festivity, which lasts several days. All the students participate in a vacation and anation and give a two-day vacation. Floats of flowers and elaborate floral decorations characterize this holiday," said the ambassador in close contact.

Doctor Tryon Talks To Engineering Student
Doctor Tryon is visiting practically all the universities in the Middle West this year, having already visited the United States and Eastern part of the United States.
The main object of Doctor Tryn is to get us acquainted with the course offered at the university by an application of work in the graduate school in the Institute as graduate trainee.
answering the question, for although there were several listening to all that he said, he paid no attention to the man's request. Oxford has 700 women students, but their entrance is limited by many tests and only a few of the 700 entrances are admitted. The 700 women are small in number compared with the 4,000 men students of the university. They are not allowed to dance with the men or meet them in any social way and Mr. McKenna stated that he had known her before she was a student and met her so few times that he had not become well acquainted with her. "You get a more frivolous and a better dressed woman student by the way," he said. "I am a more scholarly woman by our stricter requirements," said Mr. McKenna when speaking of the differ-
When speaking to a K. U. student about Rhodes scholars Mr. MacKenna again taught students among American men students when he said that now more students are being sent to Oxford than athletes as was formerly the case.
In examining his statement that co-education was harming American colleges, he said, "By letting the man take an interest in these frivolities, then and then have the frivolities, which co-education brings about, he is cut short of time for his studies." He kept referring to the lack of time for co-education men students had for their studies.
Thomas Potter Is Dead
Perhaps Joseph McDowell, who last night collated against the Oxford team, could become a team mate with Mr. MacKenna and Mr. Diplock upon the affirmative of the question "Is American harmful to American universities?"

Student Council Votes to Accept Student Apology
...
Missouri Statue Painters and Pep Organization Investigated
A formal written apology for the actions of several University of Missouri students during their visit here to a student's home, game to be made by those students, will be accepted by the University, according to actions taken last night.
Accusations that Missouri students had defaced the statue of Uncle Jimmy Green with paint, and claims that the organization were drunk at the game, were investigated by President Stratton Brooks, of the University of Missouri, and immediate action was required responsible for the objectionable acts.
In a message received yesterday by Clarence Mann, president of the Men's Student Council, President Michael Apology would be sent from each of the three offenders, or they would be required to make a personal apology before the decision of the Council. Because of the fact that this was the first time an apology would be made to a Missouri-Kansas game, and undoubtedly would be the last, a written apology was deemed sufficient by the Department that apology will be published its arrival.
The problem of speeding on the University campus was discussed last night at the meeting, and decided to have a later date.

"The installment plan of buying has made the pawn shop respectable in American ubusiness."

cience will show what,” said Koegeling. “We should be concerned with the policies of the United States toward other countries, it is necessary to know something about the constitution itself and its expected of citizens. Our constitution is different and was formed under different conditions than the Constitution all others in that the people who formed it had to fight for it. That is true of all American wars that never been formed,” said Major Koegeling.
"Education will help to eliminate wars, but it can never do it completely because education can not show what has happened." The education will show that," said Keenig.
Major Koenig Talks to R. O. T. C. Members on Meaning of War

Experience Will Teach Younger Generation Meaning of War Saves Snaker
Pivot and Block Rule Nullified
RULES WILL MAKE BASKETBALL FASTER GAME. SAYS DR. ALLEN
As a member of the board of directors of the National Basketball Coaches association and as representative of the A.A.U. of this section on the joint rules committee, Doctor Duncan has been a member of the 1922-30 for the benefit of fans.
Changes in Regulations Will Modify Running, Pivoting, and Jumping, as Well as 5-Point Rule
A faster and cleaner game of basketball is expected to result this season from changes in the rules, be more competitive and better letters and basketball coach of K.U.
Major Koenig explained that in order to know what causes wars it is necessary that people have an understanding of what the rest of the world has to do in relation to policies of the United States toward the other countries of the world.
Special attention has been called by the committee to the rule defining the manner of not state how many steps may be taken by a player who receives the ball while in motion. It has been left largely to the judgment of the official authority, who receives the ball while in motion.
As for the pivot or running with the ball rule, the committee places its approval upon the following: If a player is in the air at the time of contact, it must be the privilege of lifting either foot in the act of passing but must get rid of the ball before that touches the floor. A player who has one foot caught, may complete his step by allowing the other foot to strike the floor and may pivot, on the rear foot only, that is, the foot that has not contacted with the floor all the time.
"The present generation will never want another war; they know what a war means. But the younger generations has never had the experience, and at some time or another they will probably have that experience," said Major Johnson. "Koenig in the R.O.C.T. yesterday afternoon."
On a jump ball at center, or else
Pivot and Block Rule No.10.
This nullifies the so-called pivot and block rule, so much discussion by the pivot blockering the guard out with his hips and knees. The guard is put on the foot touches the floor again. In other words, the pivot steps toward the guard and as the guard rubs the foot on the front foot and throws his hip into the guard but releases the heel before that rear foot strikes the floor.
where, the jumpers are forbidden to touch the ball after it has been tapped until it has touched the floor or one of the baskets. The players that the jumpers may tap the balls more than once in attempting to make it drop outside the jumping area should receive a. A field goal counts for the team into whose basket it is thrown. the responsibility for free throws into your long basket is placed on the referee.
Revision of the so-called five point rule is another change of importance. When a player has been fouled in a rebound, he must go to center after the second free throw if the field goal was made. If the field goal was missed, the old free throw will be missed, and the last free throw is missed. This change makes it impossible for a player to score five points when fouled in the act of shooting. That means he misses his second free throw, provided he makes his field goal.
Stalling Not a Big Problem
The committee, Doctor Allen states, discussed stalling, but it is becoming less of a problem, due to the fact that the spectators are strong in their denunciation of the team that does not provide action. The public realizes the need for an unstoppable pressure to the ball, the defensive team, is responsible for stalling.
The double referee system, which has been used in the Big Six for the past two years, is sanctioned. This case requires that the umpire has authority to call held ball, out of bounds, all fouls and vicious behavior, when a bald ball occurs near him.
Doctor Allen mukes it undertook a series of studies. He teaches Coachasia is not associated with his expertise but is purely an advisory and cooperative body in its relationship with students.
Oxford Debaters Forecast Decline of America Soon
English Refute Kansans'
Earnest Arguments
With Humorous
Ridicule
In Fracaster theater last night three young men from Oxford university assaulted America's greatest habit, the bowel. They were best Oxford manner. They contended that such a practice was delirimental to future American prosperity. Several hundred Americans listened and watched their droll wilt and ready tongues.
The Oxford men rested occasionally, and in these panes three young men were staging a battle defending the instalment buying at a benefit to American prosperity. The Jayhawkers were caretter; they plied with an eagle that had no credit of credit; they were gracious but ironical toward the Englishmen, but they made no公諕函s to the men.
It was apparent that Means, Mecdavide Stroble, and Anderson, representation of the past, helped to instill American life glorious, happy, and esthetic since the advent of intal-
British Tactics Are Different
The tactics of the Oxford men were different. They spoke subtly of a great many things. They laughed at the American diversion of sitting on the floor, at the use of American life, and the effects of co-education. They mentioned the Chicago gangster. They grew face-dresses for their devoted relatives, Mr. William John Kempson relooked how his fellow countryman, Mr. Richard Thomas Dykey Accomplice, was now appearing in a pair belonging to Mr. Bucher of the local dramatic department. Mr. Ackland declared that the third member of the band was now appearing in a pair MacKenna, undoubtedly an Irishman, used no suspenders to uphold his socks, but allowed them the liberty of running freely. He had been obvious to the audience for some time for a goodly expansion of Mr. MacKenna's calves had been gleaming from their position under Oxford table throughout the evening.
Satire on Instalment Buying
The audience, however, was grateful to learn that garters in America are "suspenders" in England.
Occasionally the Oxford speakers got around to the question of the evening concerning the danger of infiltration in the practice was as entertaining as their clever trifles on other American.infiltractions, the forecast fall of America. Each of them hinted pointedly that institutional buying practices factor into bringing national decline.
Yet there was nothing trigruc or yet to determine if the other nation attacked another nation after Greek, Rome, Russia, and the Mormon Utah have already failed, meant just another attack.
The count of the ballots for the debate last night will not be made public. E. A. Nushler, professor of peace and security at the College of Defense, the debates were not held for the purpose of decision and that publication could not counteract the no-decision policy.
