ATHLETICS AND SCHOOL SPIRIT
- The University is distinguished from the smaller schools of the state by its size. This difference is not only indicated by the equipment and the number of instructors and students, but is evident in the number and relative importance of its activities.
These numerous activities are all evidences of school spirit. A weakness in any of them indicates a weakness in school spirit, whether it be in athletics, debate, band, give clubs, or in the classroom.
At present attention is directed to athletics. A statement by the football coach indicates that the small number of candidates for positions on the team is representative not of a member of the Missouri valley conference, but of some small school in a state conference. While it is not essentially true that strength lies in numbers, yet it is true that it is only by numbers that potential strength can be brought out, if not for this year, then for the next few years.
There is no doubt that in the part athletics has been over-emphasised. There have probably been athletes who were at the University primarily for their sport. Of the 45 who are now on the practice field there may be a few who would be better off were they devoting the time to their studies.
But of the remaining 97 or 88 per cent of the men on the Hill there should be many who are capable of carrying athletes along with their school work, who are not taking part in any other important activity, and who would make promising football material. The coaching staff is not looking for finished football players, but it wants material from which to develop a winning team.
MUSCA DOMESTICA
Wales to Hunt Anyway---says Star headline. For a soft spot o which to fail, we suppose.
Praise and commendation await the person who rides the campus and town of that drowsy September post, the musca domestica. Countless numbers of this dipterous insect, commonly known as the house fly, are doing their best to disrupt school.
Study at Watson library is almost impossible with all the too-friendly flies engaging in their athletic stunts on the face or ear or hand of ambivalent students. These pests ruin many a daily class room noose, and in roaming houses serve better than any alarm clock ever invented.
Some remedy is needed at once.
The weather man could help the situation, but he is so unreliable. Perhaps an appeal to the student council or one of the campus political parties could solve the problem. It's worth n try anyway.
REGULAR FELLOWS
The "school spirit" of an individual is too often measured by his participation in campus activities which are of such a nature as bring him before the eyes of the public as a "regular fellow" rather than one who does something merely for the sake of the thing itself.
We are hardy when we assemble that because Jimmie Jones is prominent in this activity and has supported that drive, and can tell you all the athletic
record of years past, and can predict the future of the team, and has been very picturesque on various public occasions, he has a college spirit.
But this same Mr. Jones has been before the down for violations of honor regulations. He disregards all traffic laws on the campus, and warnings of falling marks in courses of study have had no effect on him.
He fails to see that stories have gone over the state concerning the number of students who were drunk at homecoming time are injuring his University. He little realizes that a University is judged by its scholastic records and the conduct of its students. True enough, each event is only one little piece of unfavorable publicity, but taking these stories as a whole they bear weight with Mr. Smith when the graduate approaches him for a position. Not only this, but Mr. Brown, who has a son and daughter, is considering a school to which to send them. It is a question: can publicity gained by merit counterbalance the press reports resulting from the conduct of Jiminie Jones being a regular fellow?
Campus Oninion
Editor Daily Kananu:
In an editorial in The Kansan of September 21, the editor stated that by now the freshmen know they have already seen the "wear ribbons on them at football games. I believe he is mistaken. If the freshmen have read the "K" book they may easily have an entirely different view, as it states that the wearing of their jersey
I hope that the freshman will refuse to wear the caps on any but voluntary terms and that they will not accept all they will be told about school loyalty, school spirit and discipline. The real purpose of freshmen regulations is not to regulate but to humiliate and criticize them. Most classrooms seem to take pleasure in "licking the underlid" and in making life unpleasant for someone.
Last year, freshman regulations were no abusive to the freshman class denimmed the repose of those that were more objectionable. The student council refused to recognize them and decided to have a big bonfire just after the K-U-M, U football game and burn the caps in open defense of the council. The results were all that could be desired. The student council called a special meeting and gave the freshman all they asked for on the condition that they should not burn the caps. Then the freshman asked was that there was to be no compulsion in enforcing these rules.
Here's hoping this year's freshman class will not be the "goat"...G, E.

list this under "major sports"
THERE'S no other sport on the calendar to compare with smoking a jimmy-pipe packed with P. A. Indoors and out. Any season. You win even when you draw, if you get what we mean. And how you will draw, once you know the wonderful taste of Prince Albert!
Cool as an over-cut notice from the dean. Sweet as the thoughts of a holiday. Fragrant as woodland flowers after a spring shower. P. A. never bites your tongue or parches your throat. The Prince Albert process fixed that the day P. A. matriculated.
Come out for this major sport. Get yourself a tidy red tin at that nearby smoke-shop where they hand out P. A. sunshine. You and Prince Albert are going to be great buddies right from the start. Because there just never was another tobacco like Prince Albert!
PRINGE ALBERT
—no other tobacco is like it!
B. A. is told everywhere he is to study, the scripture and the firmament, and the foundations, and with penguin-mounted letters,
