WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1926 THE STUMBLING BLOCK After a disastrous season it is inducible to land the virtues of "sport for sports' sake." It snacks of alfies. It is a weak offering for those who sought victory. Rich as football is in its contribution of pure sponsorship to athletics, that does not solve the difficulty here. "The business of winning"—that is the stone on which the Jaynawker has been stabbing his football toe. The glory of football, laying aside all the cheap rab-each stuff, lies in its wholesome competition; a competition which most assuredly is based on i desire to win. Take out that element and you have ruined football as an amateur sport. One way to take the "will to win" out of a team is to break its spirit. No team has more difficult opposition than a losing team has. And Jayhawker team, harried to bring in victory as they have been for several years, have been defeated by this very "business of winning." Whether it will bring that victory the sooner or not, it is time to stop quibbling about the faults of one or the other phase of the situation and show some loyalty. That loyalty can best be shown in understanding the value of football as a game of youth, played in the seriousness of youth, but void of the desperation that spills the temper of any contest. The will to win is essential if carried to a point of desperation it kills the sport. Roberto Haberman, "the man from Mexico," has left in the minds of at least a few students in a new conception of a people who have been heretofore so unjustly regarded and so flagrantly misunderstood. THE MAN FROM MEXICO Surely there is not a single listener who failed to get a gimme of a culture far different from our own, who did not sense another world where life is romance—tinged with unendurable suffering. It took just such a man as Mr. Habermann to show each of us what is back of the scenes. Nor were many deceived by his blunt realism or the lightness with which he sometimes spoke. That is just a characteristic of the race from which he comes. EDUCATION AS IS An accemation often directed toward collegiate training is that it provides a finished intellectual education, but fails miserably in building character. To handle a few years and observe any one of the innumerable college graduates canvassing for a "job" in the world of business is to be enlightened. Those unfortunate graduates who have no papers into whose HOME Yet better, if, wherever we run, Another country, truer home, In in hearts . . . If in the joy of heaven we live, Now only on what earth can give. — R. C. Trench shoes they may step quickly discover their diploma is not an open somone to a salaried position, or even to a job. The employer, od as it may seem, waves the collegiate credentials aside and inquires about a foolish thing he calls "experience." "What experience have you had?" he blainly asks. Well, grel! we've had lots of it, but apparently not the right sort. Then, in his mind, the employer makes a shrewd estimation of another qualification of the applicant, viz., judgment. And there you have the two most essential elements for success after commencement—experience and judgement, and both are obtainable at school in but minute quantities. As J. Stiff Wilson put it, our institutions of learning train the body and mind, but fail to teach the value of this training. Unless a person can appreciate the meaning and value of an education it is a total loss. So it is with the qualifications necessary and women, not with mental ability alone, but with judgmentary saint to satisfy the "boss." He wants backed by experience to use that ability. That is character—but not education As In. European insurance companies have become altogether too cautious. They are working a positive hardship on the nobility by refusing to insure a Haspurg. The life of a senator has its thrills also. Our own Senator Carper had his Buck stolen in the brief space of congressional activity last Monday. It meant an anxious five hours for him and a long trudge home in his new shoes before the vehicle was recovered, the police being aided by the Kansas license plate on the car. SENATORIAL THRILLS It is not related whether two troops of police were on the scene to recover the car, so that one of them at least was able to observe that particular end of the machine adorned with a license plate. The entire police force of Washington was turned out, however, in the general alarm, for Caper is no less than the "mayor" of the first city of the land, holding an enviable position on the senatorial committee that governs the metropolis. So the conclusion is that the Buick was recovered despite its lone license plate, rather than because of it, for it takes a double view to make certain. Kansas remains one of the only two states in the union not furnishing two plates for each car. Whether two plates would be an aid to local guardians of the peace is doubtful, but it would be a welcome benefit to Kansas tourists who like to greet their fellow citizens on the road, and it certainly would be a welcome sight to the harassed constabulary of other cities and states. But it might take part of the thrill out of being a Senator and having your car stolen. The recent case of Harold M. Stuntz, who was convicted on a charge of using the mails to distribute worthless cure-alms, emphasizes the fact that it is about time to curb such deceptive propaganda of patient medicine companies. And people will believe that if it is printed in a newspaper or magazine, and the aged and infirm will make a beaten path to the door of the patent medicine laboratory to try this alleged revitalizing agent. CURE ALLS "Great discovery! New pill will restore youth to the aged!" As a result of this conviction it was found that many companies were hastily bringing their products within the law, eliminating the overdrawn labels and substituting more conservative claims. But laws cannot completely allay the situation. As long as society continues to be gullible, blindly buying and blindly hoping against hope for wondrous miracles from a bottle, the The History club will hold a meeting Thursday, Dec. 9, at 4:30 in room 106, west Administration building, Prof. D., L.

He is a college boy, a bassist and a drummer beside and beside the boy is eager to be off for Montmartre and Picaelly. He has enlisted as deckhand, elevator man and pianist, with steward, jazz orchestra contribution—but only for the duration of the voyage. In former years he used to go to the beachhead or a cargo of Texas steers. The cruelty of largely promising and assuring a prospective customer that the particular medicine will give him health and happiness again is an injustice that far outweighs the onlighthought on his purse.
