The delay of the fall election may be a more incident in the history of Hill politics. Discerning minds, however, have discovered through this legitimate delay a rather serious charge against the political affairs of the student body. The significance lies in the effect partisan student enterprises have upon matters of interest and importance to the entire University and its friends.
POLITICS VS. FOOTBALL
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1926
Surface ullms are plain enough, E. U. suffered a most decisive defeat at the hands of the capable Aggie eleven. True sportsmanship is distinguished by that characteristic that enables individuals or groups to surmount such defeats in an heroic fashion. But, when by every reasonable comparison it is definite that the defeat was admittedly ignominious the causes that combined to destroy the morale of team and school deserve thorough examination. Such examination is not by any means a sign of decadent sportsmanship; it is an honest fear of the facts in an effort to eradicate existing evils.
The effectiveness of Hill politics in providing worthy aims has been questioned in these columns before. Now the accidental prolonging of the campaign period has brought to light a fault of another type. The charge stands that partisan conflicts of the student body have been extended to the football field where a division of desires will do more harm than any coach can hope to overcome. Individuals cannot give their best efforts in such a unified purpose as that of a football team when they are encumbered with partisan interests.
He was more than a plain ordinary "dog." You could see a difference; a sort of aristocratic appearance. He was a splendid specimen of bird dogs; he looked every inch the part of a genuine "pointer." But whatever his thoroughbred qualities it was no doubt partly his owner's negligence that permitted him to roam the streets with a friendly gang of just common dogs.
Both the success and the chief aim of Hill politics depend upon the popularity of candidates so, of course, it is natural to select prominent athletes for the key positions in the election. When such selection enters the ranks of the football team, as is the existing situation here, it is fair to question whether or not jaded Hill politics and vague election honors are worth the cost of disrupted efficiency in K. U. athletic teams.
A DOG'S LIFE
The ill effect of this basis for popularity is felt not only in athletics but works conversely in the other activities. For while it plays too large influence in sports, it neglects the importance of other activities in determining to whom honor is due. As long as the present basis is used in choosing candidates, politics will have too great effect on the athletic field, and will neglect other important fields of University life.
Usually every morning these dogs under the leadership of their more aristocratic brother could be seen about the streets. Very likely they were well aware of the rules and reg-
came from the presence of dogs on the Hill and so wisely avoid those premises. However, they "dorp." You could see a difference; seemed to enjoy disporting themselves on the streets, and occupied themselves in that fashion much of the time throughout the day. They seemed to know that it wasn't right to be at large; it showed in their furtive glances at strangers, thinking perhaps that the next stranger might be one to take them into custody.
One morning the troupe was out as was the custom. Traffic was heavy, though the dogs paid little heed, following in the main the leadership of the dappled white hound they admitted to be a superior brother. Suddenly a car turned a corner sharply, failed to swing back into the center of the street in time, caught the bird dog in an angle at the curb; there followed a sharp, plot-like report, and then the piercing yelps of pain as the injured dog loped away, holding aloft a fore-foot, broken.
After all a dog can only live a dog's life. He is said to be man's best friend of the four-footed variety and so he surely has proven himself to be. Couldn't man in return pay more attention to his mat friend?
Fine Arts Day By John Shively
The School of Fine Arts is to b-congratulated in dedicating all of FIm Arts Day this year to music and art. The observance has undoubtedly been the most successful that the University has had. There was a greater general interest shown, and it was generally agreed that the observance was more appropriate in every sense. In general it may be said that the entire program starting with the convocation at 10 a.m. and closing with the last number in the concert by the Kansas City Little Symphony at 10 a.m. The music and art that was on the highest plane and at the same time was enjoyable to the average student.
The Kansas City Little Symphony, under the direction of N. De Ruhrist, furnished a half hour of music that was so popular with the large audience that it was only when the magnusium that it was only when the Chancellor was ready to announce the Crimean and the Blue that the demand for more music stopped. Mr. De Ruhrist displayed the faculty of music at the time and were representative of the highest type of music. His orchestra was at all times capable of assuming the mood demanded by each composition, whether it was the "Slumber Song" which was inspiriering, or the stated March from "Aida."
The Convocation
Again the closing of the program by giving the "Rock Chalk" broke the artistic effect. As a college cheer, the "Rock Chalk" is effective, but it fails to make a statement at the end of a program of which the main purpose is purely artistic.
The absence of any violin numbers on the program was noticeable, and left a vacancy that was not adequately filled. On the whole the program was probably as good as any previous students' recital, although particularly outstanding brilliant performances were lacking.
The Students' Recital
Vernon Nahh interpreted the spirit of his numbers well, and on the whole displayed careful training in the use of his voice. However some of the high tones were forced. Had one not seen Elise Arbuthot sing both numbers, he would have thought that the two selections were given by different singers, for in the first the singer displayed her low voice altogether, but the second she added a higher range to a particular good advantage. Ama Lloia Voix失锁 the breath control to make her selection effective.
Virginia Arnold displayed a brilliant technic and an adequate appreciation of the difficult "Rhapsois in F-sharp Minor" although at times she lacked the strength to fully meet the demands of the handwriting. Lawrences adequately performed the transcription of Schubert's Marche Militaire. Dorothy Jones displayed a good techic and proper understanding in her number. The first number on the program given by Josephine Jackson was printed for artistic display, but the pianist handled the technical part accurately.
One of the high lights of the pro- program was the playing of Miriam Cox on the organ. She was adept in using the organ to produce particularly pleasing effects.
The irregular payroll must be signed before noon of October 21.

The Concert
The concert by the Little Symphony under the direction of N. de Rubertin is adequate proof that the popular appeal may be made through the director selected a program that contained nothing which might be said to have descended to the plane of the so-called popular taste. But the concert was so interesting that those who music fully enjoyed it.
It is apparent that the director tries not only to educate the public in good music, but also attempts to educate the public in new music. The program lacked those overtures and embodyts which we are accustomed to hear in opera. It lacks interest in the untamillar gem which were revealed caused the listener to forget what he wished the orchestra to play.
Those who heard the concert sincerely hope that the intervening time between this and the next concert here by the Kansas City organization will not be as long as it has been since last November, several years ago.
The program itself need not be reviewed, for the same quality of performance was characteristic of the whole performance. The orchestra was complete, although the number of instruments varied. Each individual was a master of his instrument, and the director was complete master of the organization. Whether it was the "Symphony in F Major by Dowenk," or the Slumber Song played as a corteo, the orchestra produced the music in producing the desired effect.
Mrs. Cowden maintained the high plane of the program by her truly artistic presentation of the aria "O, Luce di Quest Anima". It was a display of more than vocal technique. The young cellist, Caati, displayed the spirit of youth in his presentation of the "Serenade" by Dvorak.
