THE CARRUTH SONG
The University of Kansas is known all over the North American continent for her Rock Chuk yell, but she doesn't rank at all when it comes to college songs. The best known and most often song is, of course, the "Crismon and the Blue."
It is a well-loved song, but the trouble lies in the fact that it is loved also by so many other high schools and colleges. The words are some what different for each school, but the melody of the "Crimson and the Blue" is probably the one most common used for school songs.
The University has a popular and original song in "Tun a Jaayhawk," but it is a pep song and only suitable for football games and rallies. There is another zong, written exclusively for K. U. by William Herbert Curruth the poet who was a graduate of the University. It is called, "Days at OI K. U." It used to be a popular University song, but it has died out so that probably few students here now have ever heard it.
Mu Phi Epsilon, the women's musical sorority, has realized the complete lack of an appropriate University anthem, and has started a movement to revive the Carruth song. An intersoriority song has been announced by Mu Phi Epsilon to be held in February. Every sorority on the Hill has been invited and urged to enter. The sing will be in the form of a content, and each group is asked to sing one of its sorority songs and Carruth's "Days at Old K. U."
The weakness of the plan lies, of course, in the fact that the contest is confined to organized women; but even so, it is to be hoped that it may serve to revive a beautiful song among all the students. There are talented students who might serve their alma mater well, by dedicating a song to her.
A prize will be offered which will be awarded on the basis of the originality and beauty of the sorority song, and the interpretation and ability with which both songs are sung by the group.

ITS OWN TRIBUTE
It is a safe conjecture that Dr James Naismith did not envision the enormous demand that spectators would be making for seats at basketball games when he invented this king of winter sports back in 1891-92.
The athletic department of the University is confronted with an embarrassing situation. It simply cannot provide the number of seats being requested by enterprise ticket holders, not to speak of the casual spectators who would come to occasional games if they only could.
All of this interest in a brain child of his should be a gratification to Doctor Naismith. But if his modesty is correctly penetrated it is very probable that he takes far greater satisfaction in another angle of basketball. That is the fact that it is played by so many players, despite the preponderance of spectators. If
someone wants to do some mutual statistics he might try to check up on the many basketball teams taking to the door each evening in all parts of the country, of the world for that matter.
In addition to the knowledge that his game is of physical service to an uncountable host, Doctor Nalamith has the knowledge that it is a game beneficial to the body, as proven by his own tests made a few years ago when it was charged the game harmed youngsters.
Basketball is its own tribute to its modest father.

WANT A CLINGING VINE?
WANT A CLINGING VINE?
Women should return to the swathing, concealing gowns and the clinging, congealed minds of the middle ages; they should cloister themselves as they once did, their thoughts dwelling only on the superiority of their men; they should consecrate their lives to serve men, says Gina Lombroso Ferrere in her article, "Feminism Destructive of Woman's Happiness," in the January issue of Current History.
For this, she believes, is the only way that woman may regain that intangible, highest love of men in which lies their greatest happiness. She interprets the feminism movement as unrest and constant striving for this lost happiness, but that the only love woman is now able to obtain is the physical, sensual sort.
This may apply to the older generation (most doubtful), but assuredly the theory of this return to the clinging vine type would never go with the younger. Leaving out all arguments that the women's side advance indignantly—how would the modern college youth like the clinging type of woman?
He wouldn't have her! He might enjoy once calling at a girl's home for a quiet evening during which the conversation was exclusively of his prowess, his pince in college, his tastes, his aids-ers, ad infinitum with the girl replying in ductet mono-sylables, but he wouldn't be back.
The college youth today has grown up with the college woman today in a much healthier, broader, freer relationship than formerly existed. She is his companion, not necessarily his sweetheart; she is his equal, not his idol of inferiority set upon a secluded pedestal. He would find a large hole in his everyday existence if she were removed to the place Signora Ferrero wishes to give her. If all the women of this University were excluded or segregated and deprived of speaking privileges with the other sex except in their own homes the men would find the school unnatural. And think what a hardship it would work on them with no one to whom to boast, with whom to waste their leisure moments, to stimulate their repartee or kid them alone!
As a last argument if any K. U. man admitted he'd rather see woman exclusively in the home, even would back out when he was reminded that he'd probably be expected chivalrous to kiss her hand!
"I have never known a fool," says Congreve's Mirabell, "but that he complains of his poor memory."
THE JOYS OF FORGETTING
Such a complaint, according to Odell Shepard, writing in the January Yale Review, is but a form of inverted boasting, for usually he who boasts of a poor memory is in truth blessed with a fairly good one. He, the boaster, overlooks one of the chief blessings of faulty memory, namely, that just as surely as a man forgets the good things so also will he forget the bad. The wise man, says Shepard, is more than gloid to be allowed to forget at times and has sense enough to chew the evils of too-perfect memory.
College students, particularly during examination time, are fond of concocting themselves, with no small amount of saturation, upon the shortcomings

of their recollections. They would do far better to give thinks that when they sat down to write their examinations they were not overwhelmed with a flock of irrealvel facts and figures which a truly perfect memory would be sure to furnish.
Hitch your wagon to a star, certainly. But don't lose sight of the fact that sometimes the star itself is not too desirable.
What are you going to take next semester? There is a question that's a stainer for the simple reason information on the subject is lacking.
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION NEEDED
There really ought to be a catalog published describing each course with its instructor thus: "Course No. 25, instructor Miss Blank; requires some outside reading, and a great deal of class discussion; instructor very partial to men." Then only men would enrol in this particular class, which would be what the instructor preferred and would make the whole class pleasanter, and there would be less friction.
Or such little guide lines as, "Instructor very interesting; knows his stuff; makes you work, but you get a lot out of the course"; and "Instructor talks in doll monetone, course very drab and slow"; would help a great deal.
But since there is no reliable source for the desired information, the best that can be done is to ask questions, enroll, and take a chance.
It is only fair that students should know some of these things before they enter a course for a whole semester, so that they will not be bored and uninterested in what they thought was a good course, and be driven to work which they do not like.
"For the sake of an argument"
"for members of Professor Bueller's class in debate the other night argued the abolition of the R. O. T. C. Debates of military training are not new; making due allowance for the careful censorship of some schools, the debates blossom forth wherever the R. O. T. C. exists.
AN INNOVATION IN DEBATE
What was outstanding about the debate was the manner of presentation of arguments. It was what Professor Baebler terms the court room plan the first speaker on each side presents his constructive case as usual, after which he is cross-examined by some member of the opposing "staff"; refutations, and finally, a closing plea by each side, completes the debate. The audience represents the jury, and if so-minded, renders a silent verdict. It was an innovation in fowards at the University and if the enthusiastic apprehension of the small audience that attended is a criterion, it should supplant the formal, cut-and-died manner now in vogue. The cross-examination adds an intensity of interest and humor, but unless skillfully handled becomes only a matter of levity.
Although an obvious lack of adecute preparation on the part of the debaters made a full appreciation of the plan impossible, it is to be hoped that it will be tried much more completely. It will probably be used in a debate on the McNary-Haagen farm relief bill with the University of Missouri on Feb. 9, but there is no reason why it should be confined to the debate class and the University teams. It could be used to stimulate interest in purely campus debates between students who find varusity debating too exciting.
