LET THE ATHLETIC BOARD DO IT
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1927
University of Kansas students have returned from their Thanksgiving vacation to find the school enrolled in the waves of the worst athletic scandal which has ever rocked the institution. They find that merchants in the town are lining up with the two factions represented by the resigned coaches and Dr. Forrest C Allen, director of athletics, and that alumni from all over the country are holding indication meetings and demanding that certain things be done.
The rival newspapers from Kansas City have sent correspondents here who have written columns upon the matter, and press associations have been sending the news all over the United States. The resigned coaches have made certain charges and the athletic board has denied them. To say the least it is the worst athletic that the proud old Jayhawker has ever seen and it will take a long time to recover from the unfavorable publicity which has been given the affair.
Yet sitting serenely and watching the movement with an "I" wonder what will happen next" attitude, is the student body. We students are usually dubbed impractical by the great public at large, we are said to be nothing but parasites living from society and our parents, we are supposed to be here merely for a good time and with a vague idea of getting an education if it can be obtained in the time between parties and football games, yet with all of these accusations against us we seem to be about the only ones who are acting sensibly about this matter
It has been often said that if alumium would not muddle in college athletic matters the universities would be much better off and this certainly seems to be true. It is not being said that alumium influence cannot be one for good as well as evil, but in too many cases the "in win at each cost" attitude adopted by alumium which brings about a crisis in the athletic situation of a school. The present situation shows how alumium influence and movement can make a very bad problem, although neither the alumium nor any other one group can be held entirely responsible for this situation.
Likewise, the great public has jumped into this affair and aided in stirring the hotting pot of unrest and discontent. A good many people who have little or no excuse for getting into this situation are right in the midst of things, making fools of themselves and helping give the University of Kansas a black eye.
The students, who more than any others are interested in the success of their football team, are not raising any difficulties about the present matter, but allowing the athletic board to settle it. They believe that the board is well qualified to settle the question and that it will do so for the best interests of the University The sooner alumni, newspaper men old coaches, merchants and the public in general will get their fingers out o the padding and allow the board to settle the question without any halls halo, the sooner a decision will be reached which will be for the best interests of the University.
Cincinnati has one more thing to feel superior about. George Remus says its jail is the best he was ever in.
VACATION
Thanksgiving day has been and went.
The holiday at home we spent,
And never did a togivee thing.
We thought we'd study long and hard,
But checked our books into discard
Until next spring.
For men it's just a little white
Till Father Christmas makes me snake.
There's not much use to worry.
There isn't time to do much work.
Vocation not of let you skiff.
And flunk out in a hurry.
THE LIMELIGHT FADES
The MacGrader episode will be a thing of the past. The main figure, who took upon himself the task of criticizing the naval department on charges of inefficiency, will be shipped to his distant and insignificant post, where he can, figuratively, neither hear nor be vard.
Soon, unless the unforeseen occurs,
the MaeGrinder episode will be a thing.
Such disciplinary measures as have already been applied to him serve as a warning of what could happen if he should choose not to heed the official gag. His silence may well mean that he is merely human enough to wish to escape further punishment.
But the American public sits in judgment of him. His critics have seized upon his silence as an admission that his charges are unfounded. They have branded him a liar and a robber in the naval ranks.
The fact that public interest is involved in the charge of naval inefficiency is not the only reason for him to break his silence. He owes it to himself and to the nation to vindicate himself, if vindication is possible.
What seems to worry the southern delegates to the Democratic national convention is not so much how to avoid nominating Al Smith as how to find an excuse for it when they go home.
EXPLANATION
The Kansao needs to make an explanation.
In the Sunday magazines of Nov. 20, eleven statements of a member of the faculty were quoted—all accordingly as to content, we believe—primarily for the gratefulness and cleverness of their wording. The statements as brought out in the classroom were clothed with explanations. Those in the Kansas necessarily were not. As a result, misconceptions may be derived from the statements.
A further consideration should be made in view of the fact that a common form of teaching used by this instructor is to turn ideas toppery and in this way to make the student think why the statement is wrong. When these unusual statements are quoted in a newspaper column "pour amuser," they are apt to be taken in seriousness.
The Kansan hopes that it has caused no difficulty or discomfort to whom it considers one of the most valuable instructors in the University faculty.
"Car Hits Sunday School Boy"—Headline in Kansas City Times. Which makes a man wonder if old-fashioned摩尔 pays.
It is a general complaint of instructors that students do not do good work in the fall. They can't seem to get into the work, they say, they lose interest in classes and do poor work in general.
WHY STUDENTS DON'T STUDY
The number of holidays, and the number of conventions held on the campus this year might explain this lack of interest and poor work. How can a student do good work when he has a convention to attend, meeting after meeting to oversee, rooms to find for guests; how can he do good work when the week is constantly broken into with half holidays?
There have been an unusually large number of conventions held here this fall. The W. C. T. U., two editorial associations, Sigma Delta Chi, the geology school, the library and others have hold conventions with comparatively short periods of time elapsing between them.

The only real time for study is in the spring when holidays and athletics are out of the way. But then the students come back to study in love and to no gain their work is progressed.

I want to nominate John Burns as the next head coach at K. U. We have gone outside the state for a coach from a school with a big name and experiment scene to have failed. We need a coach who is the best available, a chance?

Johnson Beam has a fine record as a coach for his team that rare accomplishment: important than knowing a lot of clever players. If any one on the Hill is able to play well, he need do is ask any man who plays under him on a freshman team.
By selecting Johnne Bum as coach the athletic board would be giving the University a coach who would be playing in Alabama. It would be selecting a man whom proved himself right here at K. U. Most important of all, we would have a man in whom we would have confidence would be playing under a coach with whom they all have come in contact as freshmen; and the sore-heads would have to stop their yelling because of the question in the athletic department.
The Matter With the Kansan Editorial Columns
E. E. S.
In the administration of its editorial policies the Karaman is confronted with a peculiar problem of the type which has not been avoided. Almost every editor writes to please his readers, not knowing at the expense of his convictions, but discursing and advocating movements or at least ordinary, interest to them.
A great part of the enrollment of the University of Kansas is recruited because of its special interest to their numbers some space might be given occasionally to items of special interest to those states. To make things more interesting, City might have made a topic of interest to a large group of students. It would also serve an interpretation in the column
In an effort to present nationals problems to its readers the Kansas has blocked the situations here or companies that need intelligent discussion.
The mgro and his status have been widely aired through the Kannan, and he has had much of his career been given thorough presentation. These are the only two issues of particular interest to the average student in psychology. The key is feeding attention. No definite constructive policy has been adopted in spite of the face that there are needs and challenges in the field champion. Why not sponsor organized agitation for a new student hostel? Because it will then endless discussion both in long editorials and in paragraphs of Big Bill Thompson, who no longer writes front page space in large dailies.

Seeing the Shows By Jack Stinkenberg
I saw it at another show where *vacation* was also shown. There it went, and the crowd went to a bill but here it is in the whole hill. I can't say why they were thousands of feet of film filling the same story as a change of scenery and costume.
Browneck "Seventh Heaven," with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell. Seventh Heaven is a delightful piece of filmmary which will keep you in heaven throughout the entire picture. It has every reason for being a classic, for the season and no reasons for being condemned or criticized.
Janet Gaynor, an the diminutive Diate, has given the picture the highest and strongest devotion, has given it the real atmosphere of a completeCharles Farah, a Charles Farah, and with Janet Gaynor, affecting wall the atmosphere of the Paris streets, and with Janet Gaynor, affecting wall the stars from his Seventh Heaven.
In the supporting cast Glady
Brockwell as Nana, sister to Diane,
and Albert Gran as Papa Boul, do
some very good work.
The story is of Chico, who, as he readily admisses, is "a very remarkable man," and he is the owner of Paris; but strives to come up to the street as a street waistler. Chico is a constant enemy because he has no money. God a chance to show his power; first to elevate him to the street and second to give him a blonde wife. God failed relatably.
While he is loudly disclaiming all this to two of his crouches, Pere Chevillon overhears him, and gives him a card which makes him a street vendor. He then borrows debt. Chico asks that he will probably give God another chance.
During this time Chico has saved Diane from death at the hands of her alimine drinking sister, for no reason she was born to be a miserable coward. A little further Diane's sister is in up by Patricia. She is in danger to Diane as she says that Diane is no better than she. However, Chico claiming her as his wife, saves her
Argin Cinco is at loss as to why he be a job, then jeopardizing his new job, because he investigates his statement. Diane agrees to live with him until the seventh birthday, but she is at this time that the Seventh Heaven starts and it would be too soon.
If I were asked what I considered to be the beat picture — "the year, I believe I would forget the "Big Parade," "Beau Gaste," and some of the other parades — Heaven, for it is the only one I would like to see again.
