MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1928 THOSE WHO CONDEMN Many students feel erroneously that they have no chance to participate in extra-curricular activities. According to the mlncontents, membership in clubs and other student organizations apparently is limited to a small number who dominate these enterprises, thus crowding out others of equal ability. It is true that some students are members of several different organizations, and that at first glance the complaint seems justified. It must be remembered, however, that in most of these organizations impartial tryouts are held, and that ability is the basis for membership. Few doubt that many students of equal or even superior ability remain outside of the clubs. Only too often this results from failure to enter the tryouts. The judgments cannot be blamed for not choosing someone who did not appear before them. A second grievance has been that the social organizations try to dominate Hill activities. Probably the basic for this complaint is that most of the social groups have requirements that their members try-out for extra-curricular activities. Too few of the unorganized students make any attempt to participate in anything outside of the daily routine. The chief fault thus has, not in the clamisiness of the clubs and organizations, not in the so-called dominating social groups, but in the discontented student himself. Before he condemns the present system let him try his skill, and in so doing, give the organization "hones" something to think about.

Victor Emmanuel III, king of Italy." The longest sketch, covering two and a half pages, deals with the career of Mussolini. Judging from this, the position of the kingship of Italy seems to be somewhat reduced in comparison with that of Italy's dictator. The same conclusion is borne out by information from other sources. The king of Italy has about as much to say regarding his country as a modern American father has about his son or daughter. The English king has little to do with the affairs of his nation. Many other monarchs are only nominal heads of their respective states. The lack of the authority of the Italian king is not particularly extraordinary as the unusual phase of the situation in Italy is Mussolino's unchallenged position of power. This absolute dictator has taxed bachelorhood as a part of his program to build up Italy's man-power, has sponsored internal improvements; has increased the army and the navy; and has sought to extend the national boundaries through diplomatic negotiations. In short, Mussolini has been looking out for Italy -and for Mussolini. His high-handed government is sadly undemocratic. His direction of the people's business may be efficient for the time, but his kind of government may also, sooner or later, plumply into a vast darkness of frightened confusion and blundering stride. FRESHMEN OR "FOXES" When one sees the paddle lines of bushy "K" men instituting djayhawk spirit into reinfant freshmen, he is invited to wander if such a precedence is in American institution. Last year general Wilhelm Fr. Hee, Chief of Staff of the German army, visited the Campus and took keen delight in the Drake football game. The General remarked that there was nothing in Germany quite like it. However, this keen interest in the affair proves that there is something in human nature which does not recognize national lines. This seems to be a desire to rest new associates to see just what they will do in certain situations and to judge them accordingly. In Germany the freshmen called "foces" fight the "Mensuren." In order to become regular fellows they meet in a specified place,丹 suitable clothing, choose a sword, and fight in pairs until one of them fails from exhaustion and pain. Medical students are on hand to dress the wounds, the fighters shake hands, and everyone goes to the nearest beer garden or bar to celebrate. The "foces" have then qualified as "he" men and can show whatever scars they get an evidence of their manhood. Here at the University freshmen usually remember the time they went through the paddling line and some even recall the experience with satisfaction. The flying squadrons and Menur fighters have much in common. However, in the institutions as a whole, the "Menuren" seems more democratic than the "K" club practices. The "fives" try themselves out.

Only hospitable reputation—a repudiation that was deserved, in this latitude at least. Nother September nor October o the present year gave to the世 orld of North America more glorious o umual days than has November. And so we are glad that Indian summer has no fixed place in the calendar. We like to believe with the earth that it is more important to believe that it comes and blesses humankind because of the kindness and loviness of the old red gods who once ruled supreme in this great land. We need to remember achievements, once the primitive haunt of men and women and children who better knew the beauties and charmfulness of Mother Nature than do we, her more sophisticated child- "The men of the fields and forests of the olden time would have said that it is too hot to live in a dianum summer." But this year the Indian summer has visited us with beetles. The bees have been hard to hatch and have in the air far beyond the ordinary experience, which goes to prove the conclusions of the book. The dianum summer is not a definite period, that it does not have to be preceded by t In different parts of Europe this "season" is known and esteemed—it sometimes is known as "St. Martin's summer" or "St. Michael's summer," or "St. Michaels' summer."

Herbert Hoover's Fishing Grounds Considered An Angler's Paradise Washington, Nov. 25. — The news that a battlebait was stopped off lower California to permit President-Elect Herbert Hoover to try his luck at deep-sea fishing must have roasted at a slight pang govy in the heart of every good son of Isaak Walton. For the fishes that swim these tropical waters are so big and so fever that not even the most ambitious fisherman would need to lie about them. They make President Coolidge's trout, and even his big pike of a couple of summers ago, seem more minnow by comparison. (By Science Service) The most familiar of the many big fish that swim these warm waters is the giant tuna, beloved of the Catalina Island angler. This fish, which sometimes reaches a weight of three-quarters of a ton, is in reality a member marketed, and has been named "bear marker" by New England fishermen. "Inside Stuff" The tum that comes to our tables is not the same as the sportman's tum, but a smaller relative known to commercial fishermen of California. The question, "Why do newspapers get names wrong?" might better be stated, "Why do people get names wrong?" or "How did the Kanman sent to the Kanman office by the director of an organization, had no first name whatsoever and nine were misidentified?" --the long-formed "Albatross." The good tuna requires a rather elaborate and expensive outfit for its pursuit, and expensive clothing. A rule you offer it in battlefield, is nevertheless commonly spoken of as a "millennium fish." To get the first names of the persons left without any took two reporters nearly half an hour calling until they were called until the correct one was faused. And despite each presentation some of the names were probably wrong in the Kaean, having some synonyms to their names, the news机 never got things right." Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: Students of the University are ever eager to extingue the living locality and school spirit they hold for their alumnae. They learn from each other to turn our beams in shade at the attitude shown by the Kansas "rooter"; not Saturday at Columbia, the Kansas State University; when it had become increasingly obvious that the game was a mopup for the Tiger, the crowd, particularly the Kansas section sought and found a way to win. — W. E. What an excelebrate condemnation of the students of this University! The Kansas rooters' section became a booster's section, and we did not heed their organization joined with and even the other students and "old grade" in harding denominatory investees at for Jiyhawlshi train. Only the K, U, and T roots to the lost. When Bill Harper's crew for seemingly certain touchdowns, only the wrist-nieces of the luniu and the men's new club, supplanted sow and then by half-hearted blunder, broke the theme of the Kansas stands. The digressive conduct of the Kansai crowd did not assist in building up the good name and honor of our institution. We showed our enthusiasm, but we missed the nicked sportsmanship in almost every sense of that off-used word. Any one who saw the game must admit that the hawkayer eleven moved with more ease up to the final gun, albipuff it nacked the touchdown punch. We had just as many scoring chancen as did the Tigers, but the Kansas stand was used more often than if their athletic representatives. We are proud of our team and their spirit but neverquits. They are good portsmen, trained by good sportmen, but they must have felt the pressure. They were cast upon them last Saturday. -A. C. The cross country run is not particularly a thrilling race to watch, but it requires a real fight to run five laps in the race, across cowries, and through bedges. It is a killing race which takes more than ability to run and is more a match of mental determination than anything else. The strictest training is the endurance, using the wrong gear, using the wrong sleep, and the runner either does not nish or be comes in a very bad condition. Some participants in as bad a condition as does cross country. An athletic sport is developed which can cause trouble. Constant running after leaving the course adds to the condition and to offer protection. Coach Huff deserves much credit for developing a championship three years straight and for training Missouri Valley's greatest runner, Poe Cunningham. His success does not lie entirely in teaching to run, but in developing a proper mental attitude. That Coach Huff has been successful in this for years is a real accomplishment. Congratulations and his three time valley champions! Editor Daily Kansan: Brighten That Dark Corner with a piece of beautiful Italian pottery. Pottery is an ideal gift. Our Contemporaries tery.

"Rief Stew Mike" had a romantic history gained from years of travel. Two of the other fishes that are found in the Lower California region, out which Mr. Howoe may have been a resident for some time, are the sillfish and the swordfish. They are less cousins to each other, and are often found alongside each other, taking on growth farther south, are the sillfish and the swordfish. They are both their upper jaw jaws proclaimed into formidable weapons of offence, with which they do not hesitate to attack man or boat. The sillfish and even boats. Why they be this is not known, for they both feed on smaller fish, especially snapping turtles, and can go on to run and murmur. The sillfish receives its name from the great fin on its back, which frequently darts up above the water like a sail, and captures oxygen in the watersGET to see is the giant sunfish or handfish, called a Spanish the "sunula" or millitone, its sensible body, weighing sometimes in culinary ination, with a queer flipping of a tail and two huge fin projecting above and below. It swims about in the same manner as certain species in sometimes breaking water. Sharks of a dozen species of course are common, as they are in all the seas and have been for millions of years in the seven feet in length they are rated merely as nuisances. But far as much as Mr. Howoe's fishing grounds one must know, these are often known to attack a hunter being. A NEW ERA OF HOBOES The college boy, homming his way to school or to a football game at a distant point, is a far more common sight than the old-farmer, beehive-worm, who takes up the transportation and food, "Jungle camps" on the outskirts of towns, in thicket or tall weeds near a stream, and cooks cooking utensils for the disciples of Wanderer, but these have disappeared. The city-owned tourist camp sensibly bears a remote relic of accessibility to the old hobo hang-outs. Professional tramps are said to have originated after the Civil war. Soldiers who had a taste for travel and pilgrimage for food found tramping and railroad companies. Laborers of railroad companies who were building new lines, got in the habit of stealing rides between construction camps. Added to the numbers of hoboes and migratory laborers at the sites who had run away from home. There were famous hands of trumps with outstanding leaders. A charitable housewife who had given a "handout" to one of the group might be begged with hoboes until she was reunited with them.
