AQUATIC SPORT
It was a rainy day. The moisture drizzled without seeming to come to a stopping place. But it was a sign of spring and everyone was glad, for soon the birds would twitter and for the flowers bloom.
"Nice day--for a fish," exclaimed a youth as he climbed Mount Gread in his sleeker and warped hat.
WE WANT THE DRIBBLE
It was a strange coincidence that upon this same day the campus elections were being held. The politicians plodded to the polls to vote. It was also a nice day—for a fish.
There was a day—and it lasted up until about a week ago—when basketball was a game with pen, free, zip, and spiziercinctum. But at a recent meeting of the basketball rules committee in New York, a change was made that will ruin the game, not only for the players, but for the spectators.
The dribble—the very dribble that many a Kansas athlete has used to bring the crowd screaming to its feet—has been practically eliminated from the game.
Only one dribble can be made by the basketball player according to the new rules. The reasons given by the committee are that the play increases roughness, discourages team play, and encourages stalling by the team that is abread.
All three of the reasons are discounted by Dr. F, C. Allen. He has pointed out that the same rule was tried several years ago and found unsuccessful. "Take away the dribble and you take away nearly all the thrill of the game," he said.
The father of basketball, Dr. James C. Naismith, also frowns upon the rule with the statement that "elimination of the dribble is a step backward in basketball."
At the University of Kannan, the very core of the basketball world, a type of play has developed that has made use of the dribble as a means of increasing team play. The dribble and short pass play of Kannan has maintained unequal success, yet the national committee has decided that the dribble must be abandoned to encourage team play.
With such authorities as Doctor Allen and Doctor Naimith disapproving of the rule, it may not he sustained. If the rule is sustained, the basketball world will never again see the skill nor experience the thrill that accompanied the old-time game.
THE FIRST DUTY
The political struggle is over and we hope the best men have won. But now that they have their offices, we would like to advance our ideas of how they can gain favor by executing their first duty.
We recommend that, to show their loyalty to their political parties and for the sake of their "qualifications," they start cleaning up the decodent campaign literature strewn about the campus.
Such a move would be politically wise in many ways. Consider next spring when these same politicians are running for other offices. The value of "He cleaned up the University campus from politics" would be inestimable.
Besides, the sight of a score or more of these erstwhile campaigners carefully picking up their own cards from the campus or tearing them off the trees and buildings would be a refreshingly informal scene.
It would also be good practice for the working of the "political" smile. The man who could cheerfully grin over the back-breaking job of gathering up all his literature from the grass could grin at anyone at anytime.
The clean-up campaign would probably take several days, since propa ganda has been so thoroughly spread but students would have the opportunity to see the new office holders in action and find out who they are, as well as how they work.
All together, now. Let's compare he qualification—in cleaning up as well as littering.
FORCE BREEDS FORCE
First there is a little anti-Christian uprising in Shantung. Then there is a foreign force marching in, then greater uprises, then larger forces, which seize Pekin and quill the riots. The philosophy of force is applied to its utmost limit in indemnities and tariff regulations.
The fire shoulders. It breaks out in a revolution which succeeds, but in immediately crushed, this time by recognition of a foreign dictator by foreign powers.
The fire continues to smoulder.
Then it breaks out again with an irresistible sweep. Again outside force comes "to protect lives and property." The fire gets out of control. All opposing force merely fans the flame.
More outside forces are sent in. The anti-fire feeling is greater, more forces are ordered from the outside, Rumors of war are sounded.
What the final outcome will be, no one can predict. If the Chinese win, the feeliness will be bad enough. If the foreign nations succeed in quenching the nationalistic movement, a greater sweep of anti-forgeain feeling will break sometime with more terrible force and worse consequences. Force breeds force. It cannot subdue it.
The University might well go into the grocery business; it seems to have a monoply on spring greens.
LAWRENCE TELEPHONE
SERVICE
“What has happened? Central gave me good service on that telephone number. . . Oh, yes, of course, I'm home. I’m not in Lawrence now.” That expresses the inner feeling that all of us have whenever we call a number on the telephone back in the old home town. The satisfaction is a contrast to the disquiet that we have whenever we make use of the abominal telephone service in Lawrence.
If it is necessary to make a series of six calls, we might just as well plan

to spend the whole evening on the phone. If central answers within the first minute or two, we are exceedingly fortunate. And if she should happen eventually to connect us with the right party, we are still more fortunate.
But more often we find that Central refuses to be bothered. With each successive call, she keeps us waiting to give the number just a little longer than previously. After ten minutes of urping, we are ready to take a hot bath and to wash out our mouths with soap.
The only reason that Lawrence citizens fail to complain about the telephone service is that they are accustomed to nothing better. If they should compare the service with that given in Kansas City, Atchison, Salina, Hays, or other Kansas towns, they would be unwilling to allow the present deplorable service to continue.

School -going Frocks Must Be Chosen With Care
The most that is asked of an afternoon or evening frock is that it look pretty and smart. With the Utility Frock it is different. Designed primarily for service, it must be appropriate for many daytime occasions and very easy to slip into in a hurry.
In our displays are many Utility Frocks that will retain their tailored good looks even after many months of hard wear.
In addition, it must resist soil and creating for the Frock that must be cleaned and pressed too frequently is not worthy of the name utility.
