A "DIFFERENT" HOMECOMING
It was homecoming at dear old Bolain-Boola. College boys, coedes, collegiate Fords and alumni were much in evidence around the dormitories, university halls, and campus drives. Students were pointing with pride to the newly acquired observatory, science hall, and practice house. Animated conversation and heated arguments were heard on all sides relative to the plan for creating a scholarship fund to give worthy students a chance for further studies. An illustrious alumnus had announced a gift of a quarter of a million dollars as the start of an endowment for raising teachers' salaries. Education, football games, students, undergraduate, alumni, faculty—a heterogeneous collection of a basically homogenous group, all working toward the same end, a broader, safer, safer education. In fact, the motto for this homecoming was "Make Education Safe for Democracy."
As painted, the picture is almost too ideal, but an ideal which is possible when alumni, state legislatures, citizens, and students are able to walk and talk together on a common ground because they have the real interests, and not the superficial interests of the schools at heart. Homecoming today as celebrated by the majority of American colleges is largely a farce, with misplaced emphasis on the glamor in education. As the most striking talking point to secure interest in schools, the importance of athletics in homecoming has been magnified.
Alumni interest must return to the class room if education is to be constructive.
Old copy should be thrown away when their time has been served, and new things must take their place.
OUR PET
Rumor hath it that something is going to happen. This is not a Homecoming editorial. Something profoundly more important, basically more vital, is going to happen. The resurrected Dove is about to spring from its own anes. We shudder at the thought, both with fear and with anticipation. We wonder if it will coo about us. We an hardly wait. Dovey, come Dovey!
JOE MCDOWELL ANSWERED
Without waiting for the Kaanans "useless" women editorial writers to recover from their daze and answer Joe McDowell's bitter indictment of the sex, an engineer has sprung to their defense—a masculine engineer at that. He takes up the matter very seriously in today's Campus Opinion column. We can realize the engineer's animosity toward Mr. McDowell. The latter is a lawyer. But we are somewhat amazed that our contributor should attack the journalists as well. It seems that somehow the Kaanan has placed itself in league with Joe McDowell in opposition to the women and the engineers. And all we did was print the speech in lieu of an adequate reply. Furthermore, he thinks our spelling is "terrible." Probably he is referring to the speech again. It did not occur to him that we printed
the speech draft just as we got it.
We did not wish to spoil its atmosphere by copy-reading.
Now, Mr. Engineer, just between you and us, we want to say that we sort of agree with you that the winning eration in the Campus Problem speech contest might have touched on a more vital problem. The disparity between you and us is that we can't seem to take the matter as seriously as you do.
Furthermore, one of our women writers has spoken today. "Gardens of Eden," she calls it.
GARDENS OF EDEN
Everybody knows a man concocted the story to show that it was the woman's fault Adam and Even were cast out of Eden. Ever since then man has watched frantically over his gardens of Eden to see that woman did not break into them. When she has somehow managed to scale the high fence or tense her way in, he has fought blindly to cast her out again.
Jealous of her presence in his collegiate paradise, a modern Adam has tried to persuade his brothers and even woman herself that she does not belong there. The co-ed Eve is a distraction and will do the garden of knowledge no good. Is she not likely, just as her infamous ancessness did, to again bring down the wrath of the go is upon his head and cause man's downfall?
But Eve is not afraid, for she knows the ht subtile strategies will always triumph over Adam's attempts to evict her. And so in ironical amusement she presents him with a loving cup in tribute to his naively refreshing oration pleading for her expulsion from his paradise.
Loyal supporters of the K-Akgie team are somewhat peeved because the game there Saturday plays second fiddle to the Jayhawker-Tiger clash. Now we don't blame them a bit, and in fact we sympathize with them, but not so much as to give up our seats to the game here.
SUCCESS BOUND TO COME
Students just will smoke in the buildings; what can we do about it? Such is the cry of the faculty members who are afflicted with smoky halls.
Of course they cannot act as policemen to enforce the smoking rules. Neither can they mute out any dire punishment to offenders.
Therefore, the students will continue to smoke in the oily, inflammable buildings until some day one of those buildings will start smoking too. It won't smoke very long—it is too oil-soaked for that. It will just flame up in one huge blaze, and that will be the end of it, and maybe of some students too.
Fraiser tried it last year, but some women found the first wisp of smoke, and prevented further damage. Snow has tried it, too. Some day one of them will succeed.
The Prince of Wales has taken up knitting. As soon as he gets a cat and a parrot we'll almost decide that he has no intention of getting married.
Why be so modest, John Freshman? We won't print your name. We are胶 to get your Campus Opinion contribution on the subject of fresh man caps and freshmen who do not wear them. It was very illuminating, and a bit shocking. We like to be shocked. But we must maintain our dignity. Ah, yes, our dignity. And we must know your name. We know it isn't John Freshman. Won't you reveal your identity—and temper just a bit of your profanity? We will excuse your handwriting.
PERSONAL COLUMN
An illustrious bit of salesmanship was shown by the boy who advertised his wares at the game Saturday by shouting, "Hot buttered pop corn, eat the corn, and sit on the box."
And now that the senior engineers have returned from a joint to industrial plants the Thoughtful Freshman wonders whether life in the big big world seems as attractive as it did before.

And Ends On The Last
A "Back to Sunday School" movement is to be introduced to the students of the A. and M. college at Stillwater, Okla., soon. An attempt was made to compareative results on public school and Sunday school attendance.
If you care for puzzles, you might volunteer to help solve the problem of Michael Jahma, bandmaster of the University of Minnesota, who has three pairs of twins enrolled in his hand. All six of the boys are versus girls, and each twin lives on much alike that Bandmaster Jahma can not tell them apart.

If the freshmen were victorious the caps would be discarded and the caps would be worn until Christmas as an added punishment. The freshmen won by a 9-0 score. Their superiority was established, and the freshmen wear their caps until Christmas.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Just why should the Journalists use Uncle Woman are Useless Just why should the Journalists be able to make thunder out of Joe McMahon? If he really effortile attempts at sensational oratory and caricature? Of course, it is to be expected that the journalists think that their right, but think that that is their right. But if they are going to stir, why not stir something worth-white, such as the rather wavy politics of the Clinton Campaign, the Union Building and its finances; or, if the journalists really want to do something astounding and sensational, they might improve their skills.
Joe McDowell really meant well when he started harping on the woman element of the University, but it wasn't until then he could chew. In the first place, he made a ghastly mistake when he quoted any one such as H. L. Meadow or Dr. John Robinson to admit that he had no true facts to submit on the subject. Also, when old Doctor Froerer, Doctor Robinson, and students in this institution, it was with no thought of professional or business training, because Greek and Latin were for bridges, surgical operations, etc.; but were considered as an excellent social foundation. And even the social element said to have been absent?

Dowell, and certain other of the cynical ones, to wander sometime into the real world of Engineering School, and watch one or two of those so-called feminine social demos designing buildings, classrooms, or laboratories, ones could never hope to match? Or if that is too much trouble, they try to do what they know—the classes in bacteriology, economics, and other of the modern sciences, and watch the social butterfly do.
Of course, many of the co-eds come to the University, not to study but to occupy the time and finances of those who have been there. Then, he is it not reasonable to believe that McDowell, and such others as share his view-point, are attending the University to have some experience according to them, are to blame? It all seems to come down, either to the fact that McDowell chose his subject purely for oratory reasons, or because he spent his spare time, and some that is not spare, taken up by a gold-digger, and that he feels that he should not take all the blame for the connection with a social contact, or encounter.
