THURSDAY, MARCH 3. 1927
THE JAYHAWK DOES IT!
The Oreandie has done it again! The doughty Jayhawk, veteran of many battles, has again come to the force battled lustily and come out the victor. The bird has enclosed the Yale basketball championship for Kansas for the sixth consecutive year.
Each succeeding year a wail has gone up. "What will K, U, do without so-and-so?" But just as surely, Kansas fans have thought the University ruined by the loss of a man, the team has been victorious.
To Doctor Allen should go the credit for this fact. The prospects for each season have seemed darkened by the graduation of some valuable man, Valley stars in many cases. Doctor Allen's faith in Kansas has never dimmed; he has taken new material and by dint of hard labor on the part of each member of the squad as well as himself, he has made another champion team.
WELL, ONE MAY STILL DIR ON SUNDAY
It is useless to attempt to say a word of praise for each member of the squad, Captain Schmidt's men have played hard, but fairly. They have won because they played the game with the real K. U. spirit of sportsmanship and fairplay as Doctor Allen taught them to play.
At last Kansas has a rival. After years during which the Jayhawk state has held undisputed saws as a leading producer of wheat, sunflowers, championship basketball teams, and Sunday blue laws, it must now conceive one of its famous lauers to South Carolina
Governor Richards, it seems, has rediscovered a set of laws pertaining to the observance of the Sabbath which makes Sunday activities in Kansas look like Bacchanalian revel. Drug stores may sell nothing but medicines; gasoline may be purchased only in case of emergency; no tobacco may be sold; the vending of soft drinks is illegal; all picture shows are closed; Sunday golfing is prohibited under penalty of imprisonment, and so on, ad infinitum.
Regardless of the incongruity of superimposing upon the twentieth century a set of regulations intended for our great-great-fathers, the Governor of South Carolina seems to have forgotten that this is essentially an age when petty, trivial restrictions of personal liberty are particularly objectable. No matter what may be behind the sudden re-enforcement of such out-of-date legislation, its purpose is almost certain to be defended for this very reason.
If the legislators hope to keep their constituents from all amusement on the Sabbath, it is a safe bet that there will arise sub-roaa amunctions for more objectionable than those now attacked. If the honorable soli desia require to uplift the status of religion—they should learn from history that legislation of that sort has never been successful.
Bentio Mussolini does seem to be "getting away" with a lot of prohibitions such as these advocated by Governor Richards, but just as sure as these same prohibitions will one day cause his downfall so will the people of South Carolina hasten to rid themselves of the "new" Sunday blue laws.
Anyhow, all this gives some more opportunities for conjecture concern-
gou the famous dialogue between the Governor of North Carolina and the Governor of South Carolina. What the gentleman of the first part is probably saying now gives something like this: "Sure, go ahead and make your old blue laws. What your constituents can't buy in their own state on Sunday they can buy over here, and every little bit helps."
HE SEEN HIS DUTY AND HE
DONE IT
The world's history is made up after all of a series of crises. For every crisis there arises a leader who is willing it to bring order out of crise.
Wednesday morning, in conversation, there arose a crisis of the gravest importance. To yell or not to yell, that was the question. After singing one verse of "Crimson and Blue" and waiting in vain for a cheerleader to inspire them, a few of the more courageous members of the audience, their voices hunky with uncertainty, began the Rock Chalk yell,
Ruyard Kipling has said that Earl is East and West is West and never the two shall meet. But Kipling had never seen an accomplished musician, Dean of a college of Fine Arts, leading a college cheer.
Denn Swarthout did not want to lead that yell yesterday, nor did he try to conceal his disapproval. The point is, however, that he stepped to the front and in a decidedly "grand manner" and absolutely come in front he led the cheering; not only let it, but did an excellent job with his grace and case which could well be copied by Messrs. Rice, Huffaker, and Al. thank you, Mr. Swarthout!
TUT, TUT, PRINCETONIAN
TUT, TUT, PRINCETONIAN
Students at Princeton can no longer own motor cars, in accordance with a recent faculty ruling. Dean Christian Guess was largely responsible for passage of the rule, and as a result he was the subject of various headlines in a mock tabloid paper issued by the Princetonian, undergraduate daily paper.
A composite photograph on the first page of the paper shows Dean Gauss offering a ticket at a party. The caption reads: "Exposand: Princeton's Dean's Double Life Disclosed, Police Ride Brings Shocking Story." The whole issue was largely a lumpoon of the motor car rule.
The action of the Princetonian is a laughable and childish one, especially so since it comes from the superior East. No effort was made by the publication to refute the arguments which had been advanced in favor of the motor car rule. Instead, every effort was made to produce an smoke screen by making the dean ridiculous.
Bidificio and force are the last weapons brought into play when a contender has been out-thought and out-argued by an opponent. Bidificio is a childish weapon. It may injure and cause pain, but it cannot go to the heart of a problem and bring about a rational settlement.
A student paper such as the Princessians should not waste its strength in idicule, but should seek to conduct an amenable, sensible discussion and arrive at a well-founded conclusion.
The intramural situation seems to be clearing up. A meeting of the intramural managers' association will be called for the consideration of the various complaints investigated.
That the intramural organization here is not perfect is not questioned, but it is better than those of most other valley schools. When compared with the organizations in some of the Big Ten schools, however, the Kannas system is found wanting.
ANENT INTRAMURALS
The two main obstacles in the way of perfecting the intramural system here seems to be the lack of necessary equipment, and the extension of the
large number of non-organization men very few of whom take part in the work in the organization. The first obstacle is a difficult one to deal with. The athletic administration is adding to the intramural equipment whenever it is possible to do so, but until a new field house is erected space will be limited.
Basketball courts seem to be the main difficulty at present. The Rob-
national gymnasium is the only one available for basketball, and it is used for an auditorium, for college games and for varsity and freshman practice. This leaves little time for the various intramural teams to practice, and to acquire the full benefit of physical exercise one must keep in training and condition. This congestion of the basketball court, however, will be somewhat relieved when the auditorium is completed.
The handball courts offer another problem. Only three courts are available in the gymnasium now. The athletic department is creating some underneath the stadium, so that eventually the courts will not be so crowded.
Several plans have been suggested whereby a larger number of non-fraunty men may be encouraged to enter the competition in the various intramural sports. These plans should be presented to the intramural manager's association for discussion, and through the co-operation of the association and the physical education department a system worked out that will be tentatively satisfactory to all concerned.
SIGNS OR HILLSIDES
A dilapidated sign board, with layers of flambyquently colored paper flapping from the wooden frame, stands starkly conspicuous on the snow covered campus.
Irresistibly, the eye is drawn to it by the natural tendency to observe a prominent reading matter. It has been read many, many times before, and its message, which was already given through various university publications, becomes a monotonic nomenon in the mind.
Rolling white hillsides or a colorful panorama of seemery around a shaky old signboard mean nothing to one approaching the campus. Some psychological law of attention demands that the eye read the painfully prominent sign, whatever it is, or whether long it has been standing.
A comfortable rocking chair, bed room slippers, a pipe—and a good book. Entertainment deluxe! And if the man happens to be a woman, a box of chocolates may be substituted for the pipe.
"BOOKS TO READ"
Visitors have marvelled at the natural beauty of the campus and have praised it highly. We hear no word of praise for our signboards.
"Why, oh why," mans the sage,
"when people have an evening with
nothing to do, why do they have con-
junctions until they have carted them-
self off to the show or started a dreary bridge game or another bull session?"
Only a few University students ever enter Watson library unless they have a definite assignment to prepare. Don't they know that there are thousands of books full of interesting things and that many of these books may be checked out and read in comfort at home?
Or if you prefer something lighter, you will find books by Conrad, Mark
Some people have advanced the theory that many college suicides are due to the philosophy of Neitzeism. Do you know what there is in his philosophy that would make a person wish to end his life? You have heard of Tolstoy, What did he teach? And Spinazea? Freud is connected up in some vague way with free love, isn't it, or are you wrong?
Twain, Kipling, Bret Hart, or almost any of your favorites. Poetry? Anything from Shelley and Keats to Amy Lowell.
What is in the Koran or the Talmud or—the Congressional Record. Get the habit, use your library.
The editor of the Leavenworth Fimes reprintmands the editors of the Kansan and the Emporia Gazette for making dates through their respective editorial columns, and remarks that the editorial standards of the Times requires that date-making be carried on through the "Personal" column in classified advertising.
WE MAKE THE DATE ANYWAY
To which the haughty reply is that, regardless of standards, the Kanean and Gazeete editors are successful in btaining dates. Does the editor of the He Times get 'em through Fierersonals?
