THE TREND CONTINUES
Last year at the close of the collegiate football season a noted player, "Red" Grange, turned professional at the behest of one C. C. Pyle, special and fancy sports promoter.
Today this same Mr. Pyle, familiar recently as "Cash and Carry" Pyle, has promised to announce the complete list of his entourage of noted tennis stars soon to begin an exhibition trip throughout the United States. The contracts already in Mr. Pyle's portfolio bear such significant signatures as those of Suzanne Longen, Mary K. Browne, Vincent Richards, Howard O. Kinsey, and Harvey W. Goodsack.
What has happened in this short year? Why has there been such a remarkable turn to professionalism in sports that were thought to be free of commercial taint? Is the mooted question of the dangers of professionism in these particular sports going to bother us again as a "normal" issue?
There should be nothing mysterious about the whole matter. It is perfectly natural in this practical material age for any normal being to seek financial self-betterment. Even the most immaterial minded will grant that. The shocking part of it all is that the trend has touched sports, such as tennis and football, that we once considered immune from commercialism. Last winter's professional football games proved the commercial possibilities of that sport, and Mr. Pyle is ready to demonstrate to us that professional tennis also is highly profitable. It is very probable that he will succeed, to the delight of Uncle Sam's tax collector.
No doubt the rewards in professional sports are as greatly disproportionate to the services rendered society as in the cinema industry. Yet we cannot stay the trend; as long as the public is willing to witness commercialized athletic contests the process will continue.
MINE EXPLOSIONS
The recurrence of mine explosions and disasters is becoming tragic. Every week the papers carry stories of some new mine explosion that has trapped miners thousands of feet underground, where they remain until a rescue party reaches them or until they die of starvation or are killed by poisonous gases.
Mine blasts take a big toll every year. Rescue parties have little chance of saving the precious live entombed far below the earth's surface in a stuffy little coal vein.
Apparently mining is just as dangerous today as it was a quarter century ago. The toll mounts, "investigation" are held, and more expressions occur. It is the same old story over and over.
If these explosions are due to failure of mine owners to properly construct their mine shafts and tunnels and to install modern safety devices, the public should be told. Public opinion would seem compel all mine owners to safeguard the lives of their workers.
If these destructive blasts, on the other hand, are beyond the control of man and science it is reasonable that the public should be told. Until the truth is known, the attitude of the
public must remain the same.
public must remain the same.
If explosions are preventable, the public will see that the necessary precautions are taken by all mine owners. If the blasts cannot be prevented the public must adopt a new attitude toward mine owners and the lowly miners who give their lives tolling like moles far underground to serve society.
ARE YOU GUILTY?
Every week-day night from 9 to 12:30 occurs the exodus from Watson library. Every night* from 9 to 12:30 students attempting to study for a few last moments give up in disgust because of the noise the exodus brings.
For perhaps a half-hour, the halls are filled with a loud-talking, laughing, noisy mob, bound for home. In their reaction to release from study they never consider that others would like to make use of the short time that remains before the closing of the library at 10 p. m. Open doors to the education and periodical rooms offer no resistance to the hallhabub outside and all efforts at concentration are futile.
At that time of the evening when students are making the best part of their preparation for next day, they must lose a half-hour of time that in most cases extremely valuable. Some give up in disgust and join the homework-bound throne.
Just another little lesson based on regard to the rights of all. Students know that the halls of Watton are not those as a place for the exchange of jokes, laughter and gossip at this time. They also are aware that study rooms on the first floor have open doors and that everything that takes place outside is audible within. It is merely a problem in thoughtfulness and respect for others' rights. Surely it is not too much to expect but students shall observe the rules if common courtesy in the future now.
MUSSOLINUS SIDE LINE
Mussolini, lusty though he is, has found time to organize a "bureau" for the nationalization of women's clothing" and the Queen of Italy has accepted the presidency of it. But the success of the enterprise is rather doubtful, since uniform dress has not proved to be very satisfactory except in military circles since imminent.
The new dress model presented is a chaste and ample garment which starts high at the neck and sweeps full and climbs to the floor. The primary objective as stated was to create an exclusive and distinctive mode for the women of Italy and to eliminate the necessity of buying expensive Paris models. Incidently, there was the desire to protect the women from the reign of immodesty which is sweeping over Europe and America.
Alas! Progress is no hard! Just as women enter a new world of their own wherein they may take up vacations, "moy golf and swim and drive; just as the old fashioned chaperone has been eliminated with the hoop skirts and bustle, suddenly a prominent figure in affairs of the world takes a vacation from his field of politics and economics and turres his attention to making women over into Greek goddesses.
It may be a difficult task. It is through long years of struggle that woman has achieved her present freedom, and she probably will not part with it without opposition. Perhaps it would be expedient for the Duce to confine his efforts to political affairs.
Miss Kathryn Sutherlin presented a program last night that in every way from the standpoint of selection was of the highest type of classical music. While in performance the singer showed a limitation in range, she for the most part selected number 10, but she was well capable of vesecting.

grance. "La Chevurelle" which preceded this number was well within the range of the singer, who proved her capability of entering completely into the dramatic spirit of the song.
In the lighter compositions Miss Sutherlin was particularly effective in "a Des Oiseaux" and "The Cock Shall Crow." Had she been content to elate her program with "My Love of You," she would have much better impression, for her encore served only to denounce the vim and spirit which she gave to this song.

KAPPA PHI:
"The Duchess of Buffalo," with Constance Talmadge, First National picture, now showing at the Bowersock Theater.
The aria from "La Wally," while from the interpretive standpoint was all that could be desired, betrayed Miss Sutherlin's limitations. While the mexico-oprano was able to take her high tones well in those numbers in which she could come out with her breath and beauty of tone in the high register which this aria demanded. The same may be said of the serende, "In the Night," which in all other particulars was well presented.
JUANITA KIRKHAM, Publicity Chairman.
The settings seem far too gorgeous and elaborate for even the high circles of Russia in all their glory.
Miss Sutherlin revealed a true meza-seopra quality in her middle range. Her low tones, while not particularly strong in volume, were clear. Miss Sutherlin's diction was particularly distinct, enabling her audience at all times to clearly understand her words.
Fans of Miss Talmage will probably like the picture which is about up to her usual standard of late, with an innocent, slightly irritating expression. "Her Sister from Paris."
The accompanying Mack Sennett comedy is all about an iceman and is about as bad as the majority of current concludes.
Tullio Carminiini, an Italian imported for the part of the hero, is uninteresting and rather wood in a
Not nearly as amusing and sparkling as was "Her Sister from Paris," is this latest release of Constance Talmadge's, although the screen play is by the same author, Kansr Krai. It will give you one or two good laughs but even Connie's manners grow tiring in time. She rolls her eyes in the same old way, wobbles her chin as per usual, and faints the requisite number of times. The story concerns an American dancer whose success in Russia brings an enamoured Grand Dau to her feet. But her stuttered voice makes Old Friends stead. Complications arise when the Duke refuses its consent to their marriage and Orloff deserts from his post.

This year, the dramatic critic of the University Daily Kansan will observe a new policy, that of criticizing local motion picture offerings for the benefit of readers. No attempt will be made to cover all the various changes in bills. However, outstanding pictures will be criticized each week so that readers may form some sense of what is occurring in leases that are running locally. Any suggestions or comments on the plan will be appreciated by the critic.
