A FITTING GIFT
Birger Sanden, the noted Kansas artist whose work was exhibited here just before the Christmas holidays, has presented two of his best lithographs to the University of Kansas. Both of the prints portray bits of western Kansas scenery, and so are doubly valuable to the art collection of the state's largest educational institution.
Sanders sees and records the beauty of western Americas as no other artist has done; he finds simple grace and attractiveness even in the sandy, meandering streams and the stunted trees of the Kansas prairie. It is fitting that representative work of Sanders should find a permanent place in the collection of a state whose hills and plains he made his base.
UNKIND FATE
Certain fore-sighted students, anticipating perhaps a choice array of "F's", are already singing the joys of life at home.
News dispatches say that the aires of a prehistoric rat have been found in Nebraska, the original camping ground of William Jennings Bryan. The story further states that the discovery proves many of the theories in regard to evolution.
Psychological tests have been made which prove that women have greater linguistic fluency than men. We don't need any scientific tests to prove that.
Now isn't that ironic when Mr. Bryan vehemently denies the theory of evolution for a measly rat to die and leave its bones scattered all over Mr. Bryan's own state? We ask you.
LIMITED ATHLETICS
A super-human being, a god—the American sport follower has branded his great athlete. Stars, impossible heroes, have been made Made Toumanian individuals in the columns of newspapers. An object of near-worship, the American athlete has predominated the public mind. Athletes have come to mean the almost impossible in the eyes of the American school boy and the American sportsman.
This attitude has produced two clearly defined effects, the first being the production of the premier athlete that brings home the undisputable world title, the second being the limitation of athletes—a psychological effect produced upon the great majority of the present day men, especially in the colleges.
It is the old story of the survival of the fittest. The ward school athlete becomes the high school athlete; the high school athlete becomes the college athlete; and, sometimes, the college athlete breaks over into the professional. And, always, he wears a halo and becomes a Thorpe. It is a perfectly human reaction, possibly deserved, but the attitude is an impediment to the real purpose of athletics in college—which is to put everyone into the game.
In most American colleges, there is existent a splendid system for the gruelling out of the weak and the finding of stars. And he that is not a star, or he that is not experienced
is shamed and finally takes his place in the rank and file of the inactive—to find "vigorous" exercise in the indoor gym. And when matched with other nations, America wins the Olympics but she loses the foot race of the common herd.
"Every day in every way I am growing better and better." What a fine maxim for quiz week; the only trouble is that the average student did not start saying it soon enough.
TOO MUCH AT ONCE
These are the days when the under-
graduate feels that he is holding up
the heavy end of a somewhat lopsided
educational system. To use another
distorted figure of speech, he has
reached the peak load of his mauser's work.
And why -why does everything pile up right at the end of the term? That, we are told, is the fault of the undergraduate. But this explanation of the condition is not altogether satisfying.
Of course, every student knows that irrealism will make of the last weeks of the semester a nightmare wherein gallons of black coffee and cards of typewriter ribbon are consumed. But the student who learns each day's work as it comes likewise then finishes himself swamped with work at the end of the term. And he wonderly asks.
Lack of co-ordination between courses has something to do with it.
The student who is enrolled in five or six subjects and this is particularly true of upperclassmen—summarily finds that he is assigned at least three or four long papers during the 'last weeks of the term'. In such a believe who could do his best work we have much peace of mind?
Of course, each instructor cannot be expected to have before him a record of the assignments in other courses in which his students are enlisted. And yet there ought to be one way out. Until it is found, the next instructors can do to remedy he matter is to give ample time on any outside assignments. The problem is a serious one for the student, and one for which he feels that he is at altogether responsible.
David Leedy George continues in the limelight. He is making good as a press correspondent now.
Turkey seems to be looking through the wrong end of the telescope at Lausanne. Germany made this same mistake once too.
Several "dollar-y-year men" have been inducted for huge fronds during war. It might be called another sample of the "cost-plus" system with the accent on the "plus."

The College Graduate
Calls on several bank presidents and says, "Here I am."
Rejects all jobs that do not give him a private office.
Puts his A. B. in a trunk and opens a shoe store.

Wants a $100 per week but knows

The truth of the matter:
Is offered a job in a bank but prefers borrowing money to donating his time.

Campus Opinion
Editor, The Kansan:
Upton Sinclair, in his new book, *The Goose Stop*, charges the University of Minnesota with maintaining a "app system" and a black list app that liberal instructors and says that academic freedom is entirely lacking in the institutions. Besides the University of Pennsylvania, and Whigton school of Finance, are scored.
The question of motor car traffic has for the second time this year been tabled by the University Senate. It is well that more consideration is to be put upon the problem, and very likely more reasonable remedies may be presented than first reports indicated.
Why do we need traffic regulation on the University of Kansas grounds? Because there is a charge against us that speed, heatley, dangerous drivers cause accidents and traffic警. The charge is paid at the foot of student drivers.
If the charge is true and correct that we have criminally negligent drivers on the campus, the remedy is easy. A motorcycle police officer can be present if the intermissions between the four morning classes would at once eliminate speeding and careless driving. Such notion would be judicious, and with little expense to the University. If parking places were laid off, the university would simultaneously by directing drivers to the parking reserves.
Twenty-four members of the Oklahoma football team were awarded letters for their work during the past season. This is the largest number of letters that has been awarded to the Sooner team in the last five years
The comedy of banning automobiles from the campus completely is an unreasoning demand full of petty loop-holes, and costly proceedings to enforce it. The University roads are made up of dirt, gravel, payers and residents of the state. The University has grown to such proportions that it is now a commercial educational institution, and cars from commercial houses are constantly operating on the drives during class time, as well as sight-sees and students.
On Other Hills
Fifteen of these men are sophomores who are receiving their first "O" and only four of the remainder the squad will graduate next spring.
H. L. BUTLER, Dean
The Sooner team in the last five years of the squad will graduate next spring. The Sooners will have the largest squad of experienced men in the Conference to start the season next fall.
Ragged Roughs turned the Leland Stanford campus into a modern hobo fashion show on the annual Rough's Day celebration held recently. Costumes varying from Mexican Genius to Native American hobos were seen. Demonstrations were held at various places on the campus between classes.
Tennis is being established upon a firm basis at Cornell, according to the Cornell Daily Sun, for a meeting of the University trustees reteaching tennis as part of a professional coach to take charge of the net game at the school. By securing a tennis coach, Cornell does not expect to make tennis a major sport at the University, but they do expect to have better Variety rules and be equipped during the winter on the six indoor courts at the Drill Hall.
Colgate is entering upon a new epoch in its history. In the next month or so the university is to have a new department, a new gymnasium; and a new football coaching system; and on October 7 George Barton Cutting, Ph. D., L.L. D., was inaugurated as president.
If the distance between the earth and the moon wore to decrease one half, would the attraction between the two be one fourth as great? Can any of your physics sharks answer that question in fifteen seconds? This is not a hard question. The members of Yale University must answer to school officials who determine their mental alertness. A "yes" or "no" must be given within fifteen seconds after the question is asked. If the answer given is "I don't know" the question is given. A guess, which typifies an minimal effort, is given a minus mark.
Every Day a Special
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The University Symphony Orchestra will present its first concert Monday night, January 8, in Fraser Hall. The time has been channeled to 8:45 in order to avoid a conflict with the basketball game. A very interesting and educational program has been prepared.-II. C. Rubert, Mgr.
Every day's menu is made to the best advantage of our patrons and they always provide a well balanced meal.
The University Commons will be open tonight after the basketball game and light refreshments will be served. This is something of an exhilaration for the campus. The Commons has been open only to the two teams—Ahmad H. Barumu.
Of course you always want to go to Bricks for Sunday dinner,but it is a saving of time and money to eat at Bricks all the time for it's—

What chance have you got against him?
It was a cynic who said:"Some men go to college. Otlier men study."
A slander! But yet there probably are college men whose bills for midnight oil are not large.
And there are men who left school in the lower grades who, along with a hard day's work, put in long hours of study—spurred on by a dream and a longing.
Look out for them.
The achievements of non-college men in business suggest an important fact. Success seems to depend, not so much on the place where a man studies, as on the earnestness of the student.
But, granting equal earnestness and ability, it is still true that the college man has the advantage.
Regular hours for study and lecture, the use of library and laboratory, the guidance of professors, contact with men of the same age and aspirations all these will count in his favor, if he makes the most of them.
A big "if." The new year is a good time to start making it a reality. '
