BABIES MUST PLAY
There seems to be a tradition of some years' standing between students of K. U, and K. S. A, C, that the week preceding the annual football game should be devoted to midnight pillages each or the other's campus. Before students were able to have automobiles little danger was attached to a "foreign expedition," but today every one takes a risk every time he goes to a rival's campus. Last year a new car was badly damaged when some K-Aggies tried to drive through a mob of K. U, students at the top of Fourteenth street. Fortunately no one was hurt, but there was a danger attached. We are not criticizing the men who trimmed the Angie freshman head; he dared and lost, and therefore had come to him. Beyond a doubt, however, someone could have been hurt seriously where there were enough clubs and shillings thrown to damage the car.
Participants say that such action is necessary to bolster up school spirit, and that school spirit wins the game. From this line of reasoning, painting the Aggie "K" south of Manhattan at midnight will complete a Kansas forward pass here Saturday afternoon. Also, following the same line of reasoning, shaving a freshman's head will make another first down.
The practice, as long as it remains harmless, is perhaps all right. But when it means danger to life or to property, it is not all right.
What has happened to the old fashioned law student who could stand on the steps of Green hall and propel tobacco juice over the curb into the street?
FANTASY
Picture, if you can, an all-University convection call every third Friday of the school year, at which time the Chancellor calls the roll of a certain portion of the student body who have been “working student” for the period just finished, and then assign another portion to desert the classroom for the next three weeks while carrying jobs of their predecessors. The idea, of course, would be to give every student the purported benefits of “working one’s way through school”, despite the limited number of Jobs around Mt. Oread. Students fresh from the workshops would mingle freely with those fresh from the classroom. The atmosphere would be very democratic. An educational Utipa would have been achieved.
Such is the proposal suggested by a plan of an Eastern school.
Obviously this idea is more fantastical than practical. Before it is urged, too many questions will have to be answered. Should students work their way through school if they do not have to do so? Does the working student miss important factors in his education—social activities, extra-curricular activities, adequate time for study and research? Or does he really gain in the long run more effective training — financial responsibility, a clearer perspective on life, better equipment for the meeting of later problems?
All arguments to the contrary duly
occurred, one yet is dubious as to the advantages of working one's way through school. Undoubtedly, certain exceptional individuals make outstanding academic records while occupied much of their time with self-support. But conclusions cannot be drawn from such facts. How much more they might have derived from school with more time for study and activities is still a matter for serious speculation.
STUDIES AND ATHLETICS
In a recent interview in a magazine of national reputation, Chief Justice W. H. Taft is quoted as saying that the true purpose of education, which is "the preparation of the student for the duties of life, of citizenship", seems to have been forgiven. In its stand has arisen the tremendous importance that has been given to athletics, particularly football. Mr. Taft sees a real message in shifting scholarship to a secondary place, and preferring an athletic letter to a The Beta Kappa key.
And rightly so. It does not take a man of the mental stature of Mr. Taft to see that the American educational system is being seriously injured by the hero-wornship athlete. The aimments of the past have been misinterpreted and emphasis has been undiscovered placed upon an auxiliary need of the state. Plato recognized the need for proper physical development in his plan for the ideal state, but it is safe to say that he thought it in no way possible to exaggerate it to such proportions. When college or university is mentioned today, it is not in terms of how high it ranks in scholarship advantages but, "Do their teams produce?" And because of the undue prominence given athletics, the undergraduate comes to school thoroughly drenched in this "collegiatism," if you like the term.
It may be that this is merely another aspect of the American way of "doing a thing up in the proper manner." But the effect still is detrimental.
A good mixer is one who ins man necessitances and few friends,
CREDIT WHERE DUE
When a group of 19 students out of a total student body of more than 4,000 leads all other groups in scholarship, that feast alone is deserving of recognition. Couple the small size of this group with handicaps facing a race not recorded in full measure the advantages of those with whom it competes, and the feat assumes remarkable proportions.
Such an accomplishment is that of the Alpha Kappa Alpha, which last year led all other social organizations in the scholarship ratings complied by the registrar. The record of the members of this security speaks not only for their intellectual and scholastic attainments, but for their force of character as well, manifested through overcoming social barriers realized by none so well as themselves. Of such a group, the University may be justly proud.
Many people lose control of their dispositions in an effort to control situations.
OUR NEW LECTURES COURSE
Most instructors are politely unexpressive when students come into class late. Perhaps they act on the supposition that the offenders were held over by the previous instructor, which is frequently the case. Or perhaps they are just indifferently polite. Surely they do not think that all hardiness is unavoidable. Between each class the throng of dilatory hybrids in the corridors and upon the front steps of every building denies such a belief.
OUR OWN LECTURE COURSE
Unavoidable tardiness is exusable, and a student should not be moved to cut class rather than to come into the room late. But landing on the front steps is not an unavoidable cause of tardiness.

Women's Rights Movement in France Rebuffed in Senate and Police Force
Paris—(UP) The Feminist movement in France, which had been running along quite smoothly the past few years, has just encountered so bad humps. Both the Senate and the Seine Prefecture of Police have announced that no more women workers will be hired in their offices.

looked on the strange pageant with awe. While the audience discussed the reality and atrocity of the invasion, smoke rose from the roofs of the hotel and three store buildings. Then, as the guards ran the raiders from town, a man driven street car passed by.
It was just a little Lawrence street car; but the spell was broken and the little boy's dream of border wars was gone in the smoke that rolled from the public buildings. The cartridges that rolled at his feet were blank, and the sacks of hot water filled with straw and tin cups. The little boy looked up into his mother face, "Ah gee, mom, them men was only foolish."
Students get too many vacations. They get a half-holiday every time Lawrence colorates her 75th anniversary.
A Very Uniform Story
Musings of a Censored Sender of Telegrams
A Very Uniform job It was the Freemain drill period in the time of World War I, some of the uniforms were on wrong, and some were not on all at the. The sergeant was telling the class how to wear the uniform, and in the course of the information he said, "Keep the buttons all flatened. Don't leave any of 'on hanging loose.' Just then he run his hand down the front of his own well kept uniform and shied. He put on a uniform button was hanging by a thread.
We discovered that the Western Union isn't so marvelous as we had always supposed. Saturday we were told by a telegram back to Lawrence from the agency on Fourteenth street right beside the Muechah hotel. The operator was counting over a long line of letters to send, "I'm sorry, she said happily, 'but I can't send this next to-the-hat-word.' The word used is usually meant to be the last four letters and the other two cire 'a' and 'm') "Won't you change to 'darn?'" The big strong man took the telephone and changed the bad word to "dirt."
When we reached Lawrence, a friend told us that he knew of another case of emancipation. An out-of-town lawyer who had been killed in which the hometown was defeated. (That was years ago.) he wanted the Western Union to take a one-word telegraph describing his feeling. It was the same as what he had with a couple of '95. They refused.
American Institute of Dalcroze Eurythmics
It seems that 'louys' is another word the Western Union won't carry. We asked the operator in Kansas City if she had a little book of the alphabet, and she had memorized them all. An interesting memory, we thought as we went bus-ward and home to study our lesson for vocabulary building.

The Cafeteria is a winner for serving good food.
Various leaders of the feminist movement have expressed their intention of protesting vehemently to oppose a proposed "unfair sex discrimination." And it is likely that this latest reluctance to vote has been a result of the next election campaign when the French suffragettes plan to marshal all their forces to obtain the right to vote.

New Cafeteria in Union Building
It is alleged that in examinations held last year the official positions there were two sets of questions, one for women and one for men. The one for the women is said to have been a brain-twister, but nevermore eligible applicants in skirts.
Our Contemporaries
Frenchmen have long looked with displeasure on the progress of the feminist movement in France, and are always maintaining that woman's place is in the home. But since the war the economic conditions of women have increased in thousands of women to seek employment and has consequently given strong impetus to the suffragette movement.

The action of the Senate and the Prefecture of the Seine is likely to bring the issue to a head.
A Cowardly Attack
--that some arch-champion of Americanism, such as Arthur Brisbane or Senator Royale Hill, is the defense of Americanism and confounded the scandals who are responsible for the publication of this infamous piece of history.
In a recent issue of The Nation there appear one of the most flagrant attacks ever perpetrated upon American students. It will be no surprise to intelligent Americans that the attack springs forth from a host of factors, the Nation, for that magazine, in the course of its 64 years of existence has always been foundation andmean in American letters, indeed, it has expelled suppression only because of the deplorable axiety in our Federal Department of education.
The great surprise lies in the fact
The article in question quotes a former university student as saying that the students of American colleges, newberys, newsboys,鞋鞋eremers's sons and preachers' daughters. The vast majority of us have no college background. Culture is vague and foreign to the majority of us, brought up on Sunday comics, movies, and music. It isn't Arab or middle-class homes.
What a thoroughly contemptible and desperable distish this laf! Not content with maligning our college students, or even our colleges, the Nation must assault American newspapers and magazines, the great American cinema industry, and the great American democracy itself, the American home.
But the charges are wholly false. In the first place it may be said that no more clean and wholesome books are produced those which appear in The Saturday Evening Post, Secondly, our art and culture of the presentations and education to those who follow them. And who could question the art and culture of the presentations in the palace: the Hollywood of the cinema industry? Finally most American bones contain the finest Grand Murals; they book-cases as brimming with the margins of Temple Bailey, Zane Gray, Margaret Widderman, and Walto
Thus, The Nation attempts to impute the good name of our great American nation, when the American people come at last to their senses, this cowardly publication will be dismissed and its strident voice will no longer mock the integrity of American ideals and traditions. — Minnesota
