Football Games Hinder College Work, Declares President of Harvard
athletic Contests Should Be for Benefit of Students, Says Educator
Cambridge, Mass., Jan. 15—Com-
mparison big college games with
the sports held in the Coliseum at
Rome, President Lawrence Lowell, of
the annual report, declared that they
need to distract the work of education.
At the same time, he defined Harvard's new athletic policy, which he described as "The first attempt to grapple with a problem generally felt to be very serious by people response for the welfare of American colleges.
"The present method of conducting the games calls out a considerable number to compete for the squad. It tends to confine students' attention to the team, which plays a match with the opposing team early in October until Thanksgiving." "Having great intercollegiate games every Saturday through the autumn in a stadium filled with many thousands and spectators is not well for members of the team or the student body. It tends to disturb seriously the work of education and recreation and the numbers of the public and alumni the real object of the college."
The famed educator declared that intercollegiate games should be played in so far as they promote the object of sports, and that schools must maintain a form of sport. They should be conducted, he said, for the benefit of the students, by demand of appropriate authorities and not by assent of the entertainment to the alumni and public.
Eleven sealed bids have been received for the stadium contract and another firm has written and inquired if bids are still open. The contract will be let on Wednesday, Jan. 10 at 4 o'clock in the Chancellor's office.

Administration Does Not Consider Arbitration of Mexican Oil Question
Washington, Jan. 15 — The administration will reject without comment the Latin American peace plan, a Reps. campaign man told the United Press today.
(United Press)
starlines will remain in Nicaragua an long as they are needed there to protect American lives and property. The Mexican dispute is not considered suitable for arbitration, declared this official, who is in a position to reflect the opinion of President Coldidge and Secretary of State Kellogg.
Legislative action in the case is being held up pending defiance reaction of the country to the Borah plan. Borah suggested that recognition of the Dizu government be withdrawn and an amicable agreement people. He proposed that the Mexican oil land dispute be submitted to arbitration.
This policy was affirmed in the face of congressional attack on the Coolidge-Kellogg policy while both defenders and opponents moved for decisive action in the controversy, which forced the nation to possibilities of war.
All factions are waiting reaction to Borah plan because its adherents ave made it clear that if it meets fih approval it will be embodied in the constitution, and not a vote. Democrats, generally, are scorned to favor this plan.
Oread Magazine May Go
National Organ of Quill Society May Be Substituted
The Berkeley chamber of commerce has classified the University of California as the largest revenue-producing project in Berkeley. An annual expenditure of approximately $140,000 is spent by the faculty and students.
Plans for substituting the Parchment, national organ of the American College Quill, for the Oread Magazine, as the annual library vexed by the question of the Quill Club in central Administrator building. A decision was also made in favor of supporting the proposed University Daily Kanran library supply
A tentative drive for subserviers for the Parchment will be made during the next few weeks in order to ascertain the desirability of introductions to the national literary society of which the Quill Club of the University is the charter organization, and contains the cream of collegiate literary efforts from all over the United States. It is published four times a year.
The meeting at which was discussed considerable national business was conducted by Laura Margaret Melleto, who will be given at the next session, Feb. 3.
Campus Vagrants Most Optimistic Inhabitant
Where these vargants come from no one knows, and where they go no one knows, unless it is Van the antichef, who is also the king. They are always with us. But there is a decided difference; these various and sundry pupils ask nothing except so violability, and they know no class distinction. Whether it be the president or a minister of Asses, they hold no grunge. Their moses may be cold, but never tilted.
The vagabonds of the campus who tail not neither do they spin, are the most optimistic of the Hill's inhabitants. They range from mongrel pups of doubtful breed to a tail and head of a small dog seen in constant companion with a rabish small dog of infinitesimal size and questionable parentage.
In fact, from the democracy of these Hill gypseis, the unthousianistic and bored may learn a definite moral lesson—namely and to wit—unchallence is the privilege of the unsophisticated—stop yawning.

Missouri Short of Seats
More Than Thousand Tickets Beyond Capacity Sold
Chester L. Brewer, the athletic director of the University of Missouri is worrying about where they are going to attend the two games there this week-end, the Missouri-Drake game, Friday night and the Missouri-Nevada game.
Early last fall, the athletic department offered活动 ticket to students in the University and T. Columbia townspeople, and before any one knew it, many had been sold that many more had been sold than could be accommodated in the Rothwell gymnasium there. As soon as the board of curators knew what they were selling, hundred, which is the seating capacity of the gymnasium, had been sold, they were immediately withdrawn from sale. Yet it was too late, for more than a thousand more activity tickets than could be seated in the gymnasium.
Although a large number bought activity tickets merely to get a cheaper rate for the football games, there are usually several hundred having tickets who cannot get inside the gymnasium.
The University of Wisconsin has expelled one man from school for taking a reserve book from the reading room of the library.

Forty Organizations Have Not Submitted Jayhawker Glosses
Slowness in Mounting Pictures Allows Another Extension of Deadline
The final extension of the Jaya-
hawker gloss deadline from Jan. 15 to
Jan. 27, was announced by Clifford
Anderson, editor, yesterday.
"Those students who take this dead lightly need not be surprised to see that they've been yearbooked." Anderson continued, "because no glasses will be accepted at the event."
In commenting on the extension Anderson said: "The deadline previously announced would have been final had it not been that the staff assistants were not able to begin alphabetizing and mounting the senior and junior glasses until after the final examination. If we did he hold up there is no reason for not giving students this extra time to turn in their glasses."
The Jayhawker office in room 3 central Administration building, will be open every afternoon beginning Monday, Jan. 17 to Thursday, Jan. 26. The hours will be 11 a.m to 5 p.m. After the hour, all will be in the office only occasionally.
American echo that students do not slip glasses under the door during the hours when the office is closed. "This is bad for your eyes," he said, injury to the glasses, but to be sure
that memo cards are made out by the,
students with all activities and other
information listed thereon. A small
note to note is he made at this time
for space."
Appointments should be made with the photographers several days before the last time allowed to turn gloses in because of the fact that it requires two or three days to finish the glass, according to Anderson.
Forty organizations have not yet turned in glasses. Many of the down town studies have the glasses but will not release them to the Jayhawker until paid for by the organizations. Some organizations have made appointments but have not had pictures taken yet.
Three hundred and fifty gloses had been sent in to the engraving company by Saturday morning. This year he'll be up to the year's total up to last year's data.
A few students, "last-moment-men,
will probably be disappointed because
they do not allow enough time to get
glasses, Anderson said. After having
the picture taken before they choose the one he wishes to use and return it, then call for the finished glass and deliver it to the Jayhawker office.
Diction Course Offered to Fine Arts Students

Director Defends Commons Against Campus Criticism
Variety of Foods Greater Than in Other Similar Places, Declares Miss Parks
"Give us a chance," said Mina Parks, director of the University Commons in an interview with a reporter yesterday, concerning recent campus and editorial opinion, that applauds in the Kenan the past few weeks.
She expressed the belief that material improvement had been made in the service at the Commons, and that after all it was a psychological state of mind on the part of the students, that food was more valuable than bad food and high prices.
There is a greater variety of food served at the Commons and more out of season food than is served even at other cafeterias now operating in other schools in the state, according to the director; and the prices, when available, are price in Lawrence, at taverns and cafes in Lawrence, are actually lower.
The director pointed out the fact that the equipment at the common is in the first place, inadequate to give the best service, and that that was due to the lack of appropriations from the state.
As it is now, the overhead expenses are high and there is absolutely no profit being made. Among some of the items of expense at the commons, for instance, is $12 a week for keeping it clean; $3 a day for let's $8 a thousand for butter puddings and so on. She pointed out that the profit on a single expense does not include any overhead expenses or the cost of cutting it up.
The common serves on an average of about four hundred and fifty persons daily. "The expense would not have cost if 700 were saved," said the director.
Under the rules of the administration, the Commissary is not allowed to enter other similar places downstream. It is run by the state for the students at the University and not as a business entity. The commissions are allowed but neither are defalcts.
Course on Private Life in Rome to Be Offered
