HEALTH FACILITIES
The inconveniences caused students by being ill away from home have grown been forced on the attention of the University population. The number of persons ill since the Thanksgiving vacation has resulted in the overcrowding of the student hospital. Dr. Ralph I. Canutone, health director, reports that many of the cases which are taxing the inadequate facilities of the hospital could under normal circumstances be cared for at home.
In the hurried activity of college life it is most essential that student health he maintained at the highest possible level. Since the University population has multiplied extensively in the past few years, it has completely outgrown the residence which serves as a hospital and dispensary. This fall, the situation was relieved momentarily by the employment of two full time doctors and the renting of another building for a nurse's home.
At present the prevalence of colds has crowded the building to more than overflowing and an annex is being made ready to care for additional patients. It is time that some permanent provision be made to avoid similar difficulties in the future.
THE DISCIPLINARY ROLE
Recently while Florence Reed was sheep walking in the role of Lady Micheth, she stepped out of character and asked the two men in the audience who had been laughing to get out.
Not only in the theater during the production of a serious play is laughing ill-bred and impolite, but the application may easily be carried over to class-room bedrooms in a university. When a professor is lecturing before a large class, a group of laughing, tittering students in the back of the room annoy not only him but a number of more earnest students who really wish to hear and understand what the professor has to say. The laughes are merely the worst kind of class-room nuisance; no one thinks them clever. While it should not be necessary that a university professor act as a disciplinarian for a group of college students, yet it might be effective if he were to step into that occasion and ask some of the "constant gigglers" to leave the classroom. Such measures would not have to be repeated often.
THE DEATH TRAII
Recently workmen were sent out by the Kansas City Safety Council to paint a white cross at the scene of each of the 71 motor car deaths in that city this year.
It is a sad commentary that human beings grow so thoughtless and irresponsible that artificial reminders are necessary to make them recall the tragic results of someone's carelessness. The question arises as to whether people will be any more careful than they were before after seeing those mute pathetic markers. If it is necessary that their memories be jogged concerning the 71 motor car deaths which have occurred already this year in Kansas City alone, it is doubtful whether the mere recollection of those deaths will cause the public to be more responsible and cautious.
NOW FOR BASKETBALL
Football activities for 1928 are about over and the fans are keeping up their spirits by picking mystics all-American teams, Big Six elemen and so on. Now basketball is loaming on the horizon, with the first Kansas game coming in two weeks. The interest of sport followers is now divided between summing up the recent grid season and forecasting the success of the coming court season. The Jayhawkers' schedule this year is especially heavy, with eighteen games listed. Ten of these are official Big Six Conference games. Of the eight non-conference games three are to be played on the coast with California, two with Notre Dame and one with Missouri at Kansas City, one with Washburn at Topeka, and one with Creighton at Owatonna, Dr. P. C. Allen has directed the destinies of Kansas basketball for several years and has but unfortunate good success. Last year the Jayhawk quintet won but half their games, and broke a record of six consecutive Missouri Valley championships. A number of letter men and promising sophomores are showing up well in early workouts, and prospects look good for a successful season.
HOOVER EDUCATES
While Lindbergh was making his good will trip ground South America the stock expression was, "Follow Lindy and learn geography." Now with Hower speaking in the Latin American countries, Americans have a chance to learn something about conditions in the countries themselves. The president-elect takes the trouble to learn the facts about the countries; their economic conditions, histories, and national heroes before he makes a speech within their borders. One who follows the text of all of Hower's South American speeches cannot help learning much about these countries. Wherefore, the slogan might be changed to "Follow Hower and learn about Latin America."
Fame certainly is floating; a student the other day misspelled the name of Colonel Lindbergh.

Today's Best Editorial
The Emporia Gazette a powerful editorial calls for the appointment of a successor to Senator Curtis of Kansas to the role of type of citizenship, "to able to out the ideas and wishes of the people." It is no time to select a man who will lead Kansas in any type or new political debt. The Hoover landslide in Kansas should not be thought of as having given the party leaders in that State "license to comport himself with the character an officer is sent to Washington, it might mean a party upheaval in the election of 1908. A mistake now cannot be exaggerated. The state's governo

Report by Secretary of Commerce Shows the "Full Garage" Is Nearer
Washington, Dec. 5.—The "full garage" campaign slogan of Herbert Hoover is approaching near realization. This is shown by the report of the Secretary of Commerce, which was made public here today. Nearly three million automobiles were produced in 1927, as compared with a million in 1914. This is given one as the indication of an advance in the status of the shipments of hirthies in 1927 amounted to 1,101,000 as compared with approximately half a million in 1921. Since 1920 life insurance policies increased in value from $85,325,000,000 to $45,457,000,000 and in number from 16,535,000 to 25,591,000. How the department has continued its campaign for the Bureau of the Standards is outlined by Ray M. Haddon, assistant director of the Bureau of the Standards.

The old proverb has it that there are more ways than one of skimming a cat; and the maxim appears to appease by staging stories into the Kansan, too.

And for the benefit of those who will see in that incident proof of their contention that the Kansean is contented with the act, it should be mentioned that one cub, who was a待腻员 pledge, received the attention of a paddle in the hands of one cub; but why it might had failed of getting a story printed as and when she did.

The younger generation in general and the college student in particular is a favorite topic of discussion among magazine writers. His clothes, speech and habits of living are discussed frequently and minutely. He writes with pride, or viewed with alarm according to the disposition of the writer.
Why should the student's conduct receive so much attention? Why are his actions so stirring to the public? Perhaps because he often startles people. What happens if he is dramatizing himself. He enjoys the sensation he is making. He ignores attitudes because he imagines someone would select a new last. He plays at being a cynic because he enjoys the reaction. He bumly proclaims ideas which he does not sincerely believe, but whose truth he considers true. These poses are responsible for much of the present alarm over the attitude of youth in general. They are variable and inconsistent because they should not be taken seriously because there is very little purpose back of the attitudes which appear so shocking. They represent for the most part an attitude in a noise like a college student.
The college student who is given the most publicity is not typical. His actions which attract criticism are paacus. The behavior of the representative college student attracts less attention and a normal and less startling.

SCIENCE AND SIN
Sin is not merely mother and more exact name for antisocial behavior. It is a name for a distinct thing—an act of disregard for another's departure from a desirable standard, of nausea, a violation of one's duty to his own truer and worster self. One is enshrined of sin, one is enshrined of wrongdoing, one wronged oneself as well as others.
The New Cafeteria
It is not true, as some person might be led to think by recent discussions alleged to be more or less science, that the discovery of hardened the conception of sin, and that rational theory will have to adjust itself to radical conclusions on the part of psychology, ethics and religion. The hardened the common long condemned as sinful, despite all the discoveries of modern science, the some of sin persists and is certain to continue to persist. That is why it is essential and a condition of social progress.
Society provides punishment for certain offenses, but the sense of sin in one's own breast is portions even in a pretextual environment as a precaution of antisocial behavior.
The average human mind or heart is a theater of war; all sorts of emotions, passions and desires battle there for supremacy. Doctor Johnson wrote that it was the human being. Modern science confirms this view of multiple personality. When the lowest prevails, the higher better sense feels aggrieved because of the sense of having suffered this degradation. It helps one in the effort to resist civil and temptation, to live up to one's highest standards.
