Chancellor Lindley Chose Theme "On Being Good
Chancellor E. H. Lindley in addressing the congregation of the Presbyterian church Sunday morning had in his subject "On Being Good" in which he stressed the thought that a person of grade A capacity should live according to a grade B capacity and keep constantly up to the standard that he has proved through experience that he could maintain.
Chancellor Lindley brought out the fact that the term "good" cannot be defined according to any set standard which will meet all circumstances and conditions, except that it is living in the act of one's opportunity and ability.
Debate Team to Make Last Home Appearance Against Arkansas U

They have been working hard to secure new material so that the debate will not take too much possible from the audience, while Dick Anderson of Kansas will yet as chairman for the event.
An entirely new system of judging will be tried this evening. Instead of selecting three disinterested judges from neighboring towns or colleges to give a decision, the judges would select random from the audiences present. In order for either side to win a decision it must receive a two-thirds majority vote from this jury. Both the coach of debate at Arkansas and the president of this conference here, have uproved the plan and hope that it will work successfully.
Professor Buckler will not be able to be with his men here tonight, as he is in the South with another group that is on a debating trip.

Jayhawkers Drop Oklahoma Aggies Last Night, 46-44
Wright and Thompson Give Audience Many Thrills at Last Home Contest
Brilliant goal shooting and perfect accuracy from the tree throw line enabled the Jayhawkers to drop the Oklahoma Aggies 46 to 14, last night, in the final nine engagement of the season. Wright's unenemy basket eye forced the Kansas men to exert their last once of fight to put over the victorious punch, but Thompson faced with him, with the Hillel Hancer, Burton, McGarrison and Dodd more than equalled three of the Aggies.
Kansas now has one game on the win column over the .500 mark and should finish in clear possession of fourth place. The Agiek loss virtually put them out of the running for second position in the state with one game behind Missouri who is at present runner-up to Oklahoma.
Kansas Five Starts Poorly
The Kansas five started poorly and the men appeared to be slow on their feet, while the Oklahoma quitter announced a 12 to 16 lead in the first quarter after the other, but Thompson led the Kansas counter attack in a foray of shots which equalled that of the changing foe. After 10 minutes of play, the score was 15-14 in Husser and Thomson then made long shots until Kansas was but one goal in the rear, 14-16. The Aegie cage raised the count to 22-16, only to have Thomas 30-28, Krause 30-27, Bean shunt and race in to drop in a set-up. Hill added another and it was 22-29, but Callins of the Aggies kept pace by batting in a short one. McGee turned a clean goal, and Hill followed with a high arch from the free-throw vienna to give Kansas the lead, 25-24. White put in the point and the Kansas scored, 25-26, just before the gem signaled half time.
Same Line-Ups Go In
Both teams started the final period with the same line-ups on the court as in the first half, and after some play Wright connected with a long slot out to Carlisle for a winning count of the 25-29 by Kauna trailing. Thomson and Wright alternated baskets and White added a single point on M-Guiney's foot. With a 32-27 Aggie margin, Thomson was able to win the great one-handed loop from the side court, and Hill a perfect basket to give Kansas the margin again, 34-32. Collins benefited from the possession in a beautiful one-handed jab to hold the Kansas lead 36-33. Wright made a charity toss, but Hanuer doubled it by spearing the ball under the goal from the opposing players and tipping it in.
Station Goes Out
Station, the Agile captain, committed his fourth personal on Thompson, and "Rub" made it double costly to the opposition by making both chances with Burton dull up, but Kane scored again and Kansas resisted on 14 to 23 lead.
Things began to happen then as McGuire went out on fools and McCoy made his gift shops, and they were up the fireworks with a short abort, a long one and a third set-up to give the Aggera an even better look when Thompson unmerently parted the notting and, Hauner somehow darted between two Aggera gifts to throw for another basket to basket for Kumas the load 46-42 with less than two minutes to go. The food was unusable to make but one more goal and the clash ended with Kumas resting upon the winners' awards, 46 to
Sentinilitating passing attacks were displayed by both aggregations and the high score was due not to poor guarding but largely to dead shot caging by both sides as they tried to block "AB" Wright, who engaged in one of the prettiest scoring duels ever seen on the Kansas court. The Jayhawks made every one of their eight free chances good, and outclassed the infield in field goals. Angios had more free shots than did Kansas but mess a number of them.

Education Survey Shows Students Blame Instructor
Diverse Opinions Revealed in Recent Questionnaire on University
Courses
Blame is laid on the instructor in most cases when a course is boresome and valueless, because he made by the student education project committee, under the direction of Dr. F. P. Obrien, nearly one hundred courses were named by sophomores, juniors, and seniors to be done with upon completion."
In accounting for the feeling in regard to these courses, 229 answered that they did not like the professor's work or the professor did not know how to "get it across." In 148 cases the personality of the professor was distasteful. In 139 cases the professor did not know how to organize his subject matter well. The professor was unable in 57 instances to subject matter up with his limitations.
Teachers Not Alone to Blame
Teachers Not All to Bust
Among those who were told that the course was valueless because they did not feel the need of the course, 91 students worked previously taken, 92 thought the course did not prove to be what they had expected. Only 47 admitted to working in the background and the course was too hard.
The grades of the students in the courses which they criticized were 90, 85, and 70. They were among the numbers, but 35 hours of "AA." The grade of "BB" was given to 10% of the students.
Prerequisites a Nuisance
The reasons for the students taking those "disappointing" courses were numerous. Proceedings for last week's course were the reason given by 198. The adviser had urged it in the case of 55. However, 176 took it to the student recommended it, 21 because they thought it is a sump course, 36 to kill the instructor and thought it would be of value to them 14 because they wanted work with a particular instructor, and four he caused they hoped it would be interrupted.
Other results revealed by the questionnaire will be announced in the near future and a review set of questions given out to students within the
Girls Afraid of Results of Leap Year Varsity
Now that we are all recuperating from our big night at the Leap Year curvature we are living in suspense wondering what the outcome will be. With bated breath and patient we await the day when we sit at the next variety, when the men have again taken their positions at the sting line, and we have been expecting it. We expect nothing, neither do we hope. If we舞 by a former dancing partner attached to some indulgence in the light fantastic, and he gives us a glassy sway, we shall swallow our indulgence and be resigned to our current state of excitement tonight night we probably overlooked him. And if we should by chance be riding in our car, and if all of a sudden our date should say, "You'll just have to change it—why, I never changed a tire in my life!" we shall have to use our ingenuity to make things work.
We wonder if we really act like they acted. George Callahan wouldn't alone in the car while his date went to buy his cigarettes! He was insulted. One little girl had a shaper nose and for her date he gave another sister fainted while she was getting her date's coat. And many a woman waited. And when her date came downstairs he would say "I just washed my hair and I couldn't do a thing with it. Or the equivalent."
All this is food for reflection. Does the woman pay? Or does the man? We are almost persuaded—but we will reflect on what has happened to our statement. The car cost $7.55. Divided by three—or we mean crowded by three. And he ordered a pizza. But the pizza cost all the commission was a dollar, beobs all the miscellaneousenses. Such as pop corn, chewing gum, cigarettes, candy, and forth, for instance, got campered up at account of "car trouble" which made it hard to get in after the house closed. All these things added together—`We only must make the best of our upper tunities.

Maronettes to Give Two Performances on Next Wednesday
Concert Course of University Will Present Attraction in Auditorium
The afternoon performance for children especially will feature an arrangement of Alice in Wonderland. This performance although primarily for the children, promises to be a delightful experience when tickets will also be on sale. The evening performance of the Mark Twain play of *The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn* is declared by critics to be, in cleverness and humour, unsurpassed as a pauper play for 150 minutes and a great number of men to operate them. The company itself is said to be the largest that has ever toured the United States.
"With the idea of getting all attractions here at a price which will allow everyone to attend our performance is to be 75 cents general admission with no taxes reserved," said Dana Swantoth.
