Department of Zoology Entered as new secretary at mail matter September 17, 1908, at the post office at Law rence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1897 WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1927 WE DONT WANT SPECIAL ISTS In line with the alumni report made public Monday on the athletic situation at the University, we suggest the following changes in other University departments; Relieve Dean Swartabout at once from his ditties as professor of piano and let him give all his time to managing the affairs of the School of Fine Arts. He should not expect to specialize and still remain in charge of the School. He is probably giving piano undue prominence. Do not allow Dean Shand to teach electrical engineering. There are so many departments of engineering—civil, mining, chemical—in additional to electrical, that he will undoubtedly not give them a fair deal if he is allowed to specialize as well as act as a general director. Thus we should go on through all the schools and departments. Can a professor teach one subject and yet remain fair toward the others in his department? Kansas City alumni say Doctor Allen cannot coach basketball and still remain fair toward football. Yes, let's not have specialists. We should rather look to the heads of our departments and schools for supervision only. There is too great danger in letting them teach. Red Tape Is Expensive—headline. Which reminds some students that red figures are too. What messes such reports as that of the alumni often are when we carry them to their logical conclusion. MORE AND BIGGER WAR- ships Now comes the announcement that Secretary Wilbur, with the approval of President Coolidge, has planned for a twenty-year program of building for the navy, to begin in 1931 and to cost two billion dollars. Cruisers, nit-craft carriers, and destroyers will be built. Two billion dollars is too large a sum for any human mind to grasp. We can comprehend it better if we consider the cost of one of the 25 cruisers to be built. Each one of these 10,000 ton monsters will cost $16,000,000. The present value of all the buildings and equipment on the Hill is less than five million dollars. For the cost of one cruiser we could build three universities like ours and have enough left to build Baker and Ottawa Universities to twice their present capacity. But of course Universities are not as productive as cruisers, because with a University we cannot go down to Nicaragua or Mexico and run their affairs for our own profit. That the ordinary person does not pay for these ships, however, is the Samples argument often advanced. They are paid for by income taxes and tariffs. Such arguments are economic fallacies. Whether he knows it or not, the ordinary American working man is paying for the great navy with which we maintain our national ego Specialists in Personal Appearance On the Hill - near Bricks Downtown 924 1-2 Mass. Phone 1256 We see in the paper that the Swiss are asking, Santa Claus for snow and cold weather. Just to show that we have the right Christmas spirit, we're willing to donate them all our share. HELP CARRY ON OUR TRADITION romy and tomorrow are the days scheduled in which Christmas candies may be bought. The fund is to go to a worthy cause this year and should receive better support from faculty and students than it did last year. PARLIAMENT BECOMES THEOLOGICAL Any amount of money may be given for the candies. It is up to the individual not to give such a small sum that he will feel as if he really has no part in our University Christmas giving. The more given to the fund, the more will foreign students on our campus feel the friendship of America. Show the true Christmas spirit by acrflicing a little for the candle fund. The ridiculous inconsistency between the highly advanced democracy in the English political system and the archaic system of the state church—the Church of England—has never been more noticeable than at present, Parliament, the ultimate authority on religious matters in the Church of England, is considering the new prayer book, which has been endorsed by all legislative bodies within the church itself. Many of the peers and members of the lower house of Parliament are Presbyterian. Others are Baptist. Still others are Methodist, or Catholic. At least one, according to reports, is an atheist. These are the men who are going to tell the Church of England when and how its members are to pray, and what ceremonies it may use to properly convey the message of the church to its congregations. The two archbishops and 32 bishops of the church will defend the prince book. Opposition to the book because of allied Catholic doctrines continued has forced the Catholic faction to align itself with these officials of the church that represents a direct revolt from their organization. Even the cabinet and associated officers have split, and will debate on opposite sides of the question. Not one single remnant of political alignment remains, for all are acting in accordance with their personal religious opinions. Parliament has all the atmosphere of a miscellaneous camp meeting, and international and industrial problems of the nation must bide their time. All this because England, recognition leader in political democracy has not progressed equally in religion ion by divorcing church from state. Appreciate Your Business RENT-A-FORD CO. 916 Mass.

KAPPA PHI: Plain Tales From the Hill Class: (in chorus as the whistle 'jew) "Move." THE OKLAHOMA CHARGES MUST BE TRUE Governor Johnson of Oklahoma, by refusing to allow the legislature to convene in the state capital, although he must have known that he could not stop the members from meeting elsewhere, has hurt his case greatly in the minds of the public. If the Oklahoma governor work not guilty he sorely would not have been so anxious to keep the legislature from meeting. If he knew that he could defend himself with facts he would not now be using every device he can to carry the question of the legality of the legislative session, which was self-called, to the United States supreme court. If he had met the issue squerely, he would at least have stood better in the eyes of the people. As happens so often when a guilty person can not defend himself by fair means, Governor Johnston, whether he be innocent or not, will probably never be custed on the impachment charge, simply because he is able to tie up the machinery of government by technicalities. iey, very silvery aloe.
