U. 25 and 66 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 1. 1923 THE EVE THAT MEN DO—" When Abraham Lincoln stretched down from the platform after making that famous Getsburg address, there was no applause. 'THE EVIL THAT MEN DO—' Everyone makes mistakes, even the Kansan. One that has been called to attention by many of the "Old Grad" was a cleverly written article about "Phog" Allen's dream which appeared in the Kansan a few weeks ago, with facts somewhat mixed. Later, once, when he made a mistake, the whole nation was quick to notice it and to censor him for it. Some of the critics say that the game Dr. Allen dreamed of was the Nebraska game of the year before, or the Oklahoma game, and that "Herb" Little made the touchdown, or that "Dutch" Longborg, made the touchdowns, and Mandeville kicked goal. The true facts are thus: Dr. F. C. Allen's dream was in connection with the Ames-Kansas game of 1921, in which Harley Little, not "Herb" the sport writer) carried the ball on an end run of about seventy-five yards for the winning touchdown. The Nebraska game came later in the season when Mandelle made three touchdowns and Sandefur kicked two field goals, and missed the third, tying the score, 20 to 20. People forget whether it was the Ames or the Nebraska game that concerned "Pho's" of *Mandreville*, or *Longborg*, or *Mandeville*, or *Harley Little* made the touchdowns, but Sandefur's mistake will always be remembered, and the mistakes of the Kansas will not be forgiven. A number of universities are of organizing varsity swimming teams Although swimming will probably never be the most popular inter-cole- giate sport, it will certainly be the clearest. Rabbi woke with Shakespeare was right. "The evil! that men do lives after them; the good is oft intered with their bones." CONSIDER THE STRUCTURE CONSIDER THE STRUCTURE Every week-end the University puts on its sporting clothes and rests from the bustle and din of the knowledge shelling machine where every grain is plucked and an endeavor made to return it increased many fold. fool. Students attired in tweed golf suits, in haki hiking breeches and checkered lumberman's shirts, and in white duck tennis trousers, are seeking out the links, the woods, the Kaw, or the courts. Raw, or the control The women, unharmed by skirts flourish their hockey clubs, teni rackets, and canoe paddles. And from his breakfast table the professor looks over his Post's bran and milk toast, to see a woman in knickers accompanied by a man, holding a lunch basket between them He shakes his head questioningly. Then he stumps down in a chair to read a few chapters of Plato before taking his morning eusthenies, consisting of feeding the canary and watering the gold fish. It's a great thing to understand the fourth dimension or Einstein's theory, but dinosaurs became extinct because they developed a body too large for the brain. Mayhap we are going to the other extreme. So when one is expected to attend school on Saturday, or prepare the long assignments given for Monday, or sit in the parlor all day Sunday with Aunt Polly, is he losing part of a liberal education? In consideration of the future generation, if not for the present, the student should safeguard his health, and build up an adequate structure to hold the finer things learned from great teachers. In their sporting section the Star says that the Jayhawkers must develop a punch. In view of the permanent attitude of the campus toward prohibition enforcement, the Star should be courteously informed that that is impossible. MAYBE HE CAN, BUT WHY? Maybe he can, but why? The question arose in the minds of many people when they reed of Jackson H. Carwin, who is attempting to walk backwards from the city hall in Philadelphia, to the city hall in San Francisco, from the start to the finish finding his way by means of a mirror. Since the war it has been the fad to do many freak stunts. Marathon dancers and marathon baby-luggy pushing races have taken up much space in papers over the country. One man ever established a record by keeping his eyes open for ninety-six hours. Many people have walked from Atlantic to Pacific. They saw the country; it was good exercise, and they enjoyed the trip, but what can be the point in walking backwards? Centainly Corwin will be too busy tending to where he is stepping to enjoy the scenery. There can be no particular enjoyment in walking backwards, and it is not as good exercise as walking naturally. The Ku Klux question must be set, thousands of Europeans need relief, Japan and Germany are in a turmoil, and the industrial situation will soon reach a crisis. But a man finds time to walk backwards across the continent. ASSISTANT CHEERLEADER A New Jersey woman may be ducked in the mill pond because she talked about her neighbors. It is custormary to hold other cats under water for five or ten minutes. During the World War the Victorian Cross was given to soldiers as a tribute to their bravery. And during college years "K" sweaters are given to many students as a remuneration for their loyalty and ability. Yet these awards possess no practical value. They only offer proof during the years to come of the honor and distinction of having served one's university well. If one is extremely fortunate he can achieve this glory by becoming cheerleader. But do not suppose that having once been elected to this office, his task is an easy one. During every athletic contest he is under a great nervous strain. No one can doubt the influence that an animated and co-operated student body exerts upon a team. One of the best examples of this was the game with Nebraska this year. Had it not been for the unconquerable spirit of "the thundering thousand" defeat for us would have been probable. And that influence depends to a great extent upon the cheerler. For that reason a "K" sweater is bestowed upon him without question as a tribute to his loyalty. But what of the assistant cheerleaders? Is not their position almost analogous to that of the man who directs them? And yet they receive no letter. What if the captain of the football team should get a "K" swearer, but the other men on the squad should not? It would be unfair. But that is exactly the situation in regard to our assistant cheerleaders. Why don't we elect an honorary football coach, or select some p+ular man to serve as honorary dean of women? WHAT'S EDUCATION FOR? The college of liberal arts offers a course called "Appreciation of Music." Why not a course in "Appreciation of Education?" A tendency to regard some studies as drudgery seems to be common. Lack of actual interest and keen appreciation is often evident. Possibly more attention to the value and significance of a course on the part of students would lead to keener appreciation of their work. Possibly a little more reflection on the why and the whereof for taking certain courses would be profitable. Students often enroll in courses because they offer so many hours of credit, because they are less difficult than others, or because they belong traditionally to a liberal education. If students would develop a more intense appreciation of the value of their studies the importance of outside activities would autmatically be minimized; their seeming importance would receive a smaller share of time without any conscious effort. Someone advances the theory that a few students may be too lazy to study. Possibly this is true. It so, they obviously don't appreciate the value of work. Why not keep in mind the vast stores of literature that the study of a foreign language will place at a person's command? Why not consider the understanding of future scientific developments that a course in science will give one? Turn that bugaboo course into an intellectual feast. Think about your studies, in addition to thinking of them. With the advent of a religion of rhythm, there may come the desire to dance under a tree to satisfy one's conscience on Sunday morning instead of attending church. By Ted Wear The two concert plays, "Will-o'-the-Wisp" by Doris Halman and "Helena's Husband," by Philip Moeller, which were presented by the students of the dramatic art classes before a large audience in the Little Theater in Green hall last night, were opposite in theme and treatment, yet the audience seemed to appreciate and enjoy both. Very seldom can it be said that the cast was uniformly good, yet that is the verdict of those who saw the play. The audience was a night was some of the sincerest ever presented on the stage of the Little Theater. The play is a novel treatment of the Loriel plot with a disordered and complicated narrative, here were occasional lapses. When the Stylish Lady, played by Monica Caldwell, had a semi-soloilogy, she faced the audience and delivered the speech in an elaboration style, ignoring the other character on the stage. The brougue of the dress was a sequel to the yet Jean Bennett made the most of an effective curtain line. Estrella Spratlin and Virginia Jennings were competent in their acting. At The Theater Virginia Dunne as Helena was quite attractive and easily dominated the difficult scene with Paris. Albert Kerr as Menelaus was decidedly George Marden of "Pim Passes By" fame, until toward the last of the play when he forgot himself and did some real acting. The second play, "Helena's Husband," is a satirical treatment of the Trojan war theme with little Jabo at womanhood and a bromidic treatment of some of the slogans preceding the recent war. It is a costume play and that is no small problem for the audience. Classes not the difficulties admirably. Cecil Duncan as Analytiks, contributed the best character acting seen in the Little Theater in recent years. His character was consistently real and vivid. Paul Brown and Nevada Talhelm were good but showed need of a little more experience. Lighting, costuming, settings, and offstage effects were well handled and showed promise of what can be done with it. Professional or making it a dramatic workshop. The facilities and equipment are rather limited but Prof. Allen Crafton has utilized everything possible to make the plays finished product. The two plays will be repeated to night at 8:15 in the Little Theater. On Other Hills Khansem of Harvard University are making an effort to obtain a chapter of the Ku Klux Klan in the school, according to the "Crimson," Harvard publication. They have not been successful so far, the authorities at the school refusing to look upon the plan seriously. The University of Missouri R. O. T. C. expects to make the trip to Lawrence for the game with Kansas on a special train leaving Columbia State University, where cadets will stop off in Kansas City, if plans now under consideration are carried through, and parade there, coming to Lawrence at noon. They will put on several stunts at the game in the afternoon. Out of a total enrollment of 3,200, almost 94 per cent of the students at the Ohio State University are residents of Ohio, according to a recent statement in the Ohio State Lantern. Students representing forty two states are enrolled, and 2500 are from Columbus, Ohio, the home of the university. Fifteen foreign countries are represented. Chester Shore will spend the weekend in Kansas City, on business. WATKINS NATIONAL BANK CAPITAL $100,000.00 C. H. Tucker, President C. A. Hill, Vice-President and Chairman of the Board.
