THE VALLEY SPLIT
The withdrawal of the six leading institutions from the Missouri Valley conference is an instance of a more minute division made necessary because of overgrowth. Athletic directors, athletes and students of these schools will welcome it.
The Missouri Valley Conference originated in 1908 with Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa State forming the nucleus. In 1912 the Kansas State Agricultural College was admitted. The University of Oklahoma followed in 1919 and the newest member, Oklahoma A. and M., was received into the conference in 1925. Washington, Drake and Grimell entered in the meantime.
Thus the conference has grown steadily from an original four to ten members. Considering the standards of these schools and their locations, the combine has become rather clumsy. Further than this, there are several colleges located geographically in the valley and maintaining athletic teams equally as powerful as many of the present members, that could be admitted justifiably. One of the schools is Creighton.
Another item that has been the cause of some friction in the valley is the inequality of the athletic plants of the schools. Vast differences of enrolments, appropriations and in present equipment make valley competition unfair. An instance of this was the Missouri-Washington controversy last year. The affair was accompanied with usportmanagement demonstrations, and the resumption of relations is due only to pressure of other valley members, according to officials of the University of Missouri.
The split comes as a surprise to the public, and, apparently it was rather sudden to many well informed in athletic circles. The action was accompanied with forethought. Another healthy aspect of the matter is that the break was made in goodfollowthrough and there will be no hard feelings according to Dr. Forrest C. Allen i an interview Saturday.
Apparently the major part of the work in forming the new conference has been accomplished by the division of the old. Six institutions, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa State, Oklahoma and the Aggies will comprise one group and Washington, Drake, Grinnell and Oklahoma A. M. and will form the center of a second valley combine. The task confronting Dean S. W. Beyer of Iowa State, chairman of the new organization, and the newly elected board, is to find a name for the "Big Six" at a meeting scheduled in December.
The student opinion at Kansas welcomes the disruption. It can foresee a greater athletic program with stronger traditions for the Crimson and the Blue.
Already the sports department is hoping that the committee to christen the "Big Six" formed by the disruption of the Missouri Valley, use discretion in choosing a name. What a catastrophe would result in trying to crowd "Aamalgamated Association of State Institutions for Athletics West of the Mississippi," or some similar term into a headline!
AMERICA-THE KINGDOM OF GOD
To many Americans their country is almost in reality "the kingdom of God." It can never be on the wrong side; it can never have any wrong foreign policies. Whatever American does is right—her opposition is to the wrong. One may say, "But isn't that patriotism?" and the question comes, "Is it?"
In it not far more patience to see one's country as it really is than to go on living in a adjustment. Can one not be more patience and have more true patience if one really understands the thing at which patriotism is aimed? A Britsher may think that the British Empire can do no wrong, while the American empire can do terrible wrong! We think just the opposite. Is the Britsher always wrong and are we always right, or is it maybe, sometimes the other way?
Let us think in reality, and be patriotic to our country not because of delusion, but because we really know and understand her. Let us not think of her as perfect—a kingdom of God on earth—but let us open our eyes “to the other side of the mouth.”
THE LIBRARY AND STICKY FINGERS
The semester is just starting, and as yet all of the reference books in the library are still in their places. Many students will have to use those books again this year. This will necessitate the library management keeping them on reserve not to be checked out current over the weekend.
Are the students going as allys by that this year? Or will a few privileged characters think that they should have one of those books in their own room for reference rather than have to go to the library? A most every year there are some students who reason in this manner, and always the rest of the class either has to use fewer copies, making it much harder to get their reading done, or else purchase copies for themselves.
Let us hope those who have previously thought themselves the "fastener" four, and have kept books out for a week or two at a time by merely "walking out" with them have reformed, and will consider their low students who may have to sit at the library an hour or two waiting for a book while copy copy report peacefully on someone's study table at home.
Campus Opinion
Freshman Rule: Presented
Editor Daily Kusan:
Again we are reminded that freshmen will be required to wear freshman cap and to observe other rules of conduct this year. In a few days the cap and other rules will begin the work of "muddling college spirit" into the freshman.
To me it seems self-evident that this is not the real underlying motivation. It is more about to impress the freshman with his low position in society and a desire for sport at the expanse of the other world. The student who uses these for rules will make them objectifiable from the freshman's point of view. This increases the number of opportunities and mighty a chance to demonstrate how the rules are being "rigidly enforced" as an important feature of the thing would be lost. Make it a point to listen to the wise crueks and raincoats of the freshman to express a freshman go through the line.
Are the freshmen going to accept as gospel all the old bunk about "loyalty" and "school spirit" and discipline that will be handed out to them? Are they confident in their job positionable for no other reason, freshmen should not net being consulted in the matter. The freshman should organize and oppose the rules.-G. E.
More than seventy-five freshmen have enrolled for the beginning course in general art this semester. The course has hundred percent in enrollment, which last year was only 40. The class is now known as "coarse country" to portent of it in the hall.

Editor Is Music Lover
William Allen White Likes Art of Older Masters
There are different ways of hearlive music: those who are trained in
"Of the many arts that man has known," says William Allen White, "music is the oldest and the youngest, the gayest and the most terrible, the direct and the most devious of arts. Three Fingered Planet in a current number of the Woman's Home Company, Jill Whitte tells how music became an escape from life away in his soul, like the music department of Kansas University in the eighties. "I used to cut classes in a dormitory room with me on the floor of the main building of the little university where the music department was tucked away apolitically and there I listened to lectures on film." The faculty of the school of music.
"Before we owned a roof over our heads, Mrs. White and I bought a ten-foot staircase. Twenties she sat under the lamp reading; while at the piano, with my singing fingers, she held one finger, with two and finally with both hands, I pinned out the thread of the melody that gat her into something approaching a "piano." Only the patience of a consuming love could have bid her to her book."
"It was a few months later that I heard Emma Abbott sing 'Marguerite' in Ginnard's Faunt and see above her tenor saxophone in the moused Abbott kiss. I remember the Flower Song and some of the ballet music of Faust and though I heard the music of 'The Little Opera House, Faunt has never had the delight for me that I got in Bowery's Opera House in Lawrence, where there is a piece orchestra and Emma Abbott."
There is a hunger for music, he grabs at one's soul, and causes one to succumb. When William Allen White started as a newspaper man in Kansas City, he says that he used them to baggage around the office. Thus he heard the best in his early twenties, which went by, polling, with happy results.
S. A. Queen, chairman
it's technique, watch the interlacing of the strands of solody as the music flows. These are those who hear the rhythm and pick up some tunes from it and
"For me the ultra-modern composer just means terrifying noise. I can go on as far as DeBussy, possibly to Kravet; but when the moderns come with their sweet bellow I am hardy in my hearting arteries creeping and I sit through the pandemonium harking back to the days when I played a 'boss fiddle', the name being a fence rallied in drawn arms and drowned in shriek from an empty dry goods box, back in El Dorado in the eighteenthlegs at the charivari."
The library is now receiving a great number of new books. These books are chiefly the ones for which we have just recently delivered. All new volumes which enter the library must be completely distributed, can be put into circulation. This work is going forward as rapidly as possible and many new volumes will soon be put in hands of the students and faculty.
