MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1927 THE GREATER VICTORY Kansas played a glorious game of football Saturday and won. But that isn't the point of this editorial. The closing minutes of the last quarter resist adequate rhetorical formulation; but in case there are some so famillied for victory who demand a counting of the game we refer them to the sports page. This, however, is the thing that interests us now: The wolves, consisting mainly of "hogal" alumni and overly favorable followers of sport, have temporarily, at least, been given their fill of victory; and the carping criticism of the University has ceased. Not because we shrink from criticism do we rejoice, but because we hate to see the University condemned because of the triviality of a disinterested football season. It is evidence of little-mindedness to harangue against the institution because of a losing athletic team, or any other isolated phase of the University for that matter. We even maintain that condemnation of the team, the coach, or the athletic association for the loss of a few games is indicative of a mental unhonesty which neither a string of unhonored victories nor a string of college degrees can eradicate. No matter had the play of the two teams been reversed it would have been a great game. But with the present attitude of spectators it seems that perhaps the best way to maintain an equilibrium between an uncontrollable dejection of rejoicing and utter dejection and poor sportmanship is to equalize the percentage columns. And while we do not expect that many of those who contributed to the fund which erected the stadium and paid almost ten dollars for a season ticket will ever evaluate the University any higher than its football team, we are relieved that their vocal chords are for the present stillied with the hoarness that accompanies victory, so that the University may be seen as an educational institution as well as a sponsor of athletic event WHAT TO DO? Granting that newspapers are not perfect, the question is "What shall we do about it?" The remedy can come from two sources: newspaper executives and workers, and the public. All theory to the contrary notwithstanding, newspapers cannot be much above the general level of the public in intelligence; and as we have a more intelligent public we shall have more intelligent newspapers. On the other hand, more intelligent editing of newspapers can help make a more intelligent public. The two must go hand in hand. The most surely needed step at present is intelligent criticism of newspapers by public leaders. To condemn the New York Mirror and the New York Times equally because they are both newspapers is as silly as would be condemning Abraham Lincoln along with Doctor Cook because they are both human beings. The "all newspapers are rotten" shrup-of-the-shoulders attitude is an invitation to racecus to stay in the newspaper business. POPLAR In April he hoovered his silver, Scraping the tinted leaf from his hair, then his mind. But now when the corn is in sheaf. Wind-sanitized from his minerly Emerys; With the accent of new wine in the vineyards. With apples grown red on the lough and trees flowering annually And trees flawning carnival colors The popular stands lobbies; for more The silver he hoarded is tar- and suddenly weary and cold, To the bitten small importing He寒水 not silver but gold, A STUDENT IN CONSISTENCY ----Harriet Case in the Harp. Students, like anyone else, lack that wonderful and rare faculty of being consistent. Juniors and seniors through the ages have been opposing examinations. Editorialists and campus opinions have been written by the yard. Bullets feast against the inequalities and frequent biases of the examination system have been held by the hour. In a sociology class rude up mostly of seniors and attentive of juniors and seniors, the professor gave his ideas and offered the class its choice between shot-gun quizzes and daily graded discussions. He spakes against quizzes and asked that he be allowed to grade the individual on his or her ability to contribute to the class discussion. He was more than fair. Instead of exercising his authority to decide this or that for the class, he let the students vote to decide how the class should be conducted. Believe it or not. The class voted to have shot-gun quizzes that have been occurring and reoccurring with discerning frequency. Maybe the students regret their decision. Maybe they don't. That is beside the real question. If seniors, or students as a whole, can not stick to what they have cried for during three or four years can they fairly be accused of thinking? At last! We hope that the Lawrence merchants will leave those "Beat Drake" and "Tie a Can to That Balloon's Tail" on their windows for a while. They didn't walt off those "Beat Wisewood," the Aggies, and Washington" signs soon enough. The Hill in Its Beauty Garb --girls. Later, however, the vandering ones returned to their own houses to continue the festivities, which had been interrupted by their little visit. The wiley, viewed from the Hill, stretches near a mass of yellow and passersby, daintly glowing here and there. A dense forest grows along the left. Against a alight rise a clump of summer flames brightly. Beyond the forest a regular pattern of hary blue and purple. The whole world is a dawn of beauty, with wild flowers under the malty gray autumn sky. "We want to thank the K. U. Press Club in behalf of the Kansas journalists—the high school editor," and his team at the Press Club dinner. Plain Tales From the Hill --girls.

Professor Hopkins, in American literature class, "What were Cooper's weak points?" (Referring to his writings). Professor Kent appeared in the class physical wear a pair of trousers and a skirt, so he would be worn simultaneously by the same individual. He thrust his hands into his inner coat pocket in quest to find a way to reveal to fail the book, he cast 'heiwediow' look about the room "Shucks," I'm wearing the wrong shirt. A new inscription on a collegiate Ford: Bored of Education. Student in back of room; "Women." ___ Professor Schow in geology lecture What is exfoliation?" Bright student: "Exfoliation is the time when the leaves are rolling off the树." A student the other day said that his idea of a maryte was a student who takes his girl friend to every football game simply because she is not a girl he refused, and then runs through the gauntlet every time without a murmur. At the varsity-freshman football scrimmage cast of the stadium the other night, a small group asked to say, "Oh, let's get up there," and he pointed to the east side of the stadium, "and we're watching a real football team."

A motion picture, snowing campus scenes and characters in being filmed at the University of Michigan. The movie is a typical life of the university as it is at the present time. A mild plot is involved in the picture to give continuity and facilitate its filming. It is also the life of the university and its activities. Students at Indiana University have been asked by the citizens of Bloomington to be held "on the square" the right of Oct. 17. This is the third time they will be gathering. There will be prizes for each type of costume, and probably for the best stunts presented. "A functioning student government or none at all," is the stand taken by the Arkansas Traveller as the official representative of the students at the university. The fact that four years the students have been inactive due largely to the fact that the associated student senate sets solely as an advisory committee and has no direct contact with the university or the university senate. A novel idea in parties was introduced at the University of Utah by a group called Alpha's, when they not only exchanged houses, but also girls. The Betts and PI K. A's each crossed the river to meet the arrival of the "dilished" The Arkansas Traveler presents a plan which will necessitate a change in the constitution but will bring in government into the hands of the students. The University of Washington has adopted a new plan of student government. It consists of a senior council which will handle the actual interactions of the university rules, general misuse, and minor offences. A permanent cheering section at Air Force football games at the University of Pennsylvania will provide a student who presents himself at the game without his full uniform will be allowed to attend.

F. A.U. Regular Prices Consider the diplodocus THE diplodocus is said to have been the most gigantic animal that ever lived. It was 85 feet long and weighed scores of tons. Yet despite its tremendous bulk it had a brain the size of an English walnut. Millions of years ago, it is thought, the dinodocus flourished. But when conditions changed, it was unable to adapt itself to a new existence. Other animals, less strong, but more intelligent, invaded its domain. And so, with the unceasing march of progress, its race died out and vanished. It is just as necessary today as it was in the Upper Jurassic period to keep abreast of the times. Conditions are changing under our very eyes. New inventions, new products are constantly being brought forward to make life easier and happier. If we do not take advantage of them, we fall behind the procession. Advertisements are the modern bulletins of progress.
