HOMECOMING AND CLASSES
If universities did not have football games, would they continue to have homecoming? It is very doubtful. It seems as if all the grades come back for is to see the team of the old alma mater play their leading antagonist, or perhaps to take part in some social life of their fraternity or sorority.
How many alumini would return to attend a debate; to mingle with the students between classes, and attend classes with them to see what is being done in the classrooms? How many former students are interested enough to inquire how their university has advanced educationally; what new courses have been added to the curriculum of the institution? Very few, if any. Instead, they return to celebrate, to see what kind of a team the coach has put out, and what the chances are for a winning team the next year. What do they care for classes? They have graduated.
There are some writers today who claim that the present age is changing. They say our alumni are becoming more educated in the advancements of their alma mater along educational lines; that they are becoming more interested in institutions as institutions of learning. Perhaps this is so, but it will be some time before the pump and glory of homecoming will be transferred to anything but a football game. But wouldn't it be wonderful if they were interested in both?
A car with its lights on in bread daylight this morning demonstrated to the Thoughtful Freshman the law-abiding habits of its owner.
JAMES W. GOOD
the death of Secretary of War James W. Good marks the passing of another politician who loved politics for the game, gave the best he had to public service, and seemed satisfied with what mattered to his lot. In recent years the expression, "men behind the scenes," is heard during political campaigns, and those who study the situation of 1928 will come to believe that Good had as much to do with the backstage maneuvers as any man in the Republican party. His genial manner served two presidents along the road to the White House; his political strategy moved several doubtful states into the Republican winning column for both Coolidge and Hoover.
"Jim" Good, as he was affectionately known, was the politician of the present administration. However is a great strategist in many respects, and probably his move in choosing Good is a member of his official family reflects the worth of both. When intricate political questions of policy faced the president, Good stood ready to serve his chief. Twelve years of service in the House and intimate knowledge of its workings prompted Good to look to the House for administrative support rather than to the Senate, as so many administration have done. With his decision, the approval of the president was conceded.
ONE-EYED AD
"And on our right, ladies and gentlemen, we have the Administration building—'these might be the words of an announcer on a sightseeing tour of the campus,' but, he would be tempted to say, 'We have the oneeyed Administration building.' Why? Have you ever noticed it at night? Instead of having the light on 'end side of the entrance lighted, only one gives off its bright rays or whiteshine, while the other one remains dismally unlit.
Perhaps if the university does not have sufficient funds to keep both light burning, a contribution could be taken up among the students, as they have not been asked to contribute or give to any such cause so far this year; or, perhaps some of the old grads will take pity and set aside a fund for the purpose of having two lighted lights on the Administration building, in place of just one What could be a mightier cause?
It took a man 15 minutes to get a book at the general delivery desk today. This is printed on the editorial page because it isn't news. The same thing happens almost every day, most every day.
THOMAS POWER O'CONNOR
"Tay Pay" is dead. All Ireland mourns his loss as the death of her greatest man. The entire dominion of the Union Jack pauses and bows in memory of England's greatest Irishman, Death robbed him by a year of the honor of serving a half-century in the House of Commons. It is true that for the past few years his leadership was not as strong as it used to be, and now younger men, men of broader vision perhaps, and sounder basis of judgment, will supervise the destinies of the mistress of the sea, but few men ever win the esteem of their countrymen as O'Connor did. From every part of the globe the mention of "Tay Pay" will bring affectionate response from some of the "Auld Sod."
The Kansas City Star certainly has disillusioned us with these rap taps from the north pole. We thought all the time those queer noises were static.
WHY NOT A CONTEST?
With the advent of Homecoming, students on the campus are again reminded that there is on the campus a beautiful piece of architecture, a monumental structure, called the Auditorium. The Auditorium, the place where the students congregate for convection, concerta, lecture course numbers, vespers, pp rallies, and basketball games, is without a suitable name. There is nothing in its name to distinguish the building from central Administration auditorium, the Little Theater in Fraser, the meeting place for the engineering school, or any other large room for the purpose of meeting.
It seems absurd that a University with as many illusorous faculty and alumni as Kansas has cannot find one of these persons worthy of having an edifice named for him. Or failing this there is always history. As was so vividly recalled by the recent 75th Anniversary of the founding of Lawrence, there are a great number of local, state, and national heroes, any one of whom is worthy of consideration.
But the building need not be named in this way. Some fantastic or entirely original name could be applied Jajawk Roost, made famous at a recent national organization convention as the name of the congregating place of all loyal Kanans, would be better than the unoriginal, indistinctive, obvious phrase now applied, The Auditorium.
There is no consistency on a university campus. Right when the cleaners and pressers start a price war, the students celebrate Hobo Day.
Gifts and bequests totalling nearly $1,000,000 were received during the past few weeks by Columbia University. A number of years of anniversary celebration. This sum includes 163 cash gifts, and more than $400,000 in bequests. Presentations of portraits, books and scientific equipment, not included in this total.
More Coming on Law Editor Daily Kansan:
Campus Opinion
The writer is of the opinion that more light on the law enforcement even at the expense of considerable resources, the general good. We propose, therefore, to write another communication tomorrow, indicating some reasons, to inform the students of strict abstinence and more strict prohibition on the campus, especially with reference to Homecoming time. We invite others to do the same. We believe that what seems worth the space in the Kamar and the time of its readers.
Women Not Useless. But They Should Stay Out of Laboratory Editor Daily Kanan:
-R.R.K
"Burro," a gifted song-writer maybe made a till better Mirabalas," says Carlyle. That is a great person could be a great anything. There are many people that love Carlyle, that feminine charm which competes so well with the opposite sex in the physics laboratory, with an angle in the biological laboratory, or with an equally good wife. We are sometimes reluctant in admitting it, but to be a wife is her greatest duty, if you care about it. If your wife would be her "adatra" of the motto of Kansas, I can see no reason why she can't leave the physics, chemistry, and biology to the opposing side. But for her bound duty; a duty we all know can be filled by no one else save her. If she makes a good en elephant, then she make a good wife? She surely can't be both and be good in either.
I truly believe that the world could get along as well, if not better, were she absent from the laboratories. Not only that, but I would work as the opposite sex (sometimes better), but that the laboratory is not her place. The weaker sex is more likely to be present, but her presence causes an over-stimulation to the opposite sex thus making his work poorer than it would normally be where she absent. I can remember when Mr. City Star" "... his classroom attention ... too frequently diverted from the lecture to the ... charmer in the classroom ... too frequently diverted from their knowledge of psychology even though it is meager, and see that a person to get the most out of a book must give undivided attention to its characters, and does this hold true, but to the entire four years that it takes to earn an A B degree. Don't you see that there are so much more! If the boys could accomplish the world would be bettered.
I dure them to go to Watson Library any evening during regular school days and take statistics upon them, but I derive attention" as records the book few there which are not effected by the presence of the feminine charmers, but the majority give their attention to the newcomer or glancing at one he by the nature of him. If he is not the newcomer, be the condition unless it is even worse; unless he has a date along to usurp his time and attention. They

keep the boys from stumbling, something that is vital to their success and they are studying (or study at) some university. You must have their proper duty if they please their proper duty. If a educational school is a bad mistake from more than one point of view. You will perhaps wonder what I expect the girls to do. It may seem difficult for them to have no study in college at all. I do not. I believe as a matter of refinement and culture the feminine sex is required but not in the laboratory working with logarithms, or in the biological laboratory whetting a sailpool. But the Fine Arts school should not have this problem attending the Engineering, Medical, Business, or Law schools. You see, if she were it, the Fine Arts school would not get "protected" education the would not get "protected" education the opposite sex, . . . the wilde ideas of life, . . . the most impruntual wants", and she would get a quiet, education, and not a humidum of social affairs and fockery.
Oklahoma U. Men Make Own Collegiate Expenses

Norman—(Special)—Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyle, the strange character who played two roles in life, has nothing on the college student who may be helping to get the job, but be flipping a dish ring the next. Approximately 1500 men students, or about one-ball of those in the University, will ask for their expenses. A youth may ask for a certain job, but if there is no chance to get the job, he takes some time to find someone. Mitzel, director of Y.M.C.A. employment, one Student who asked for a job as a sign painter is washing tables, typing is using a pick and shoved instead of typewriter keys. One youth, whose grade average was one of the lowest in law in 1928, worked until past midnight each evening in a campus cafes.
