OUR LITTLE GAME
Each year in the fall and again in the spring for a short period 3500 average students at the University forget love, love, and studies. They forget gospass, "Pi" and "Van." Society sinks to a low ebb under a political full moon. The student body "tees off" for an eighthe hole course on the political green—and many are the hazards.
This game is called "Hill Politics," and Hill e ought to be shot for inventing it. Everybody is "It." The chief "Its" are either Black Mask or Pachacamac. The rules of the contest are simple. You mount your chair and appeal for the "spirit of the thing," while a brother politician looks on with unstinted admiration.
You are now an accomplished "It." You can, without strained conscience, cut three classes in the morning and throw cardboard at your admiring friends on their way to the poll. This, done, if you are patient and clever, enough, you may vote twice. If you are both patient and clever, you may vote three times. If you are patient, unseruptions, and very, very clever, you ma vote an number of times. If you are only a plain "It," you can wear a tag, talk free of charge, and hand out cards between classes.
Whatever you are, at the end of four hard days the University's crew of political posters are harvested, and the administration officers still eat three meals a day, just as though the University heart beat had neither slackened nor quickened.
Yes, each year "the BEST man" is decided upon, stands before us, addresses us, is wildly applauded, and finally sinks back as one of the four thousand.
Modern writers on etiquette say it is all right to eat chicken on the cob with the fingers. What about boarding house beefsteak?
A. POOR START
Federal Judge Wilkerson in his court in Chicago the other day signed the naturalization papers for an Italian, even though he answered the judge's questions from alps of paper concealed in his hat. Judge Wilkerson felt that the Italian showed great dexterity in trying to get by.
It is the same old story of to little responsibility in the men who hold the future of America in their hands. Naturally it must have been an amusing situation to find the can-didate reading the names of government officials out of his hat. But could there have been a worse beginning for an American citizen? Is it not likely that Mr. Italian will feel enough elated at the deceitful pursuit of the serious tests and qualifications of a United States citizen that he will in the future operate his business in a similar manner?
WHY CROWD THE STAIRS?
It is to be regretted that a number of students who have morning classes in Fraser Hall take it upon themselves to loiter on the stairs of
mining between the ten minutes allowed between classes is for the purpose of giving the students time in which to change from one building to another. Many students have to rush in order to get to the Administration Building from the third floor of Fraser in the ten minutes alloted to them, and if the stairs are congested by groups of gossiping loiterers they are delayed sometimes three or four minutes before reaching the lower entrance.
Then, too, there are several crippled students attending the University who find it imperative to use the stair ballasture for support when going from one floor to another, and when the railing is lined by certain thoughtless persons, as is usually the case, they are forced to seek a less popular throughfare or else run chances of serious injury.
The congesting of the Fraser stairs is, no doubt, the result of thoughtlessness on the part of those who choose the stairway rather than the landing for their lounging place. Nevertheless, it is very bad conduct and shows a lack of consideration for the welfare of others.

Campus Opinion
Doesn't Believe in Chivalry
To the Kansan Editor;
I have a few thoughts which I believe would be of interest to you readers on the "campus manner" controversy.
Once upon a time iron-clad and plumed, knights of the kings did homage upon bended knee to Woman. Time was when men sought only to
one of a bowed head and an obvious reverence. History has seen episodes when men would risk their lives for a woman's whim—that was chivalry.
With the passing of old campus landmarks, old campus traditions, and old campus ideas of medieval chivalry, have gone out the e-bob-wiki campus notions about deference to womankind. Some say the manners of the men of the University have grown in cost of this consideration for women.
Within the past ten years has occurred a change in the man's attitude toward the fairer sex, a change marked by a disregard for the ordinary little marks of respect, insignificant though they may be. Before the Great War man's defence for woman could not be rebuked. He was attentive and respectful. And, too, she was demure and pretty.
What did the doughboy come home to, after the war? His erstwhile sweetheart had crammed through a hole in her office and office shoes of his chum who had responded to the call of the colors! His kid sister had taken up business law and was now chiming with the vice-president of one of the local
Woman is filling a new niche in the world—the business world. She is striving desperately, by one means or another, to place her hands on the earth. What can she expect in return? Bowing, scrapping, complete deference?
Over in England the returned Tommy mounted a street car, conducted by an unhashed bold-faced young woman who admonished his startled feet to "snap into it." Over in the locomotive "round-house the girl he had hoped to make his wife was climbing all over an engine, garnishing its exterior. Her face was amirched and smeared with oil. Those were the women to whom they were to graziously tip their hats!
No! Courtesies and manners are not innate. They are acquired. And just as easily are they abolished Woman has seen fit to enter man's court. Man can insects more than to be treated like one man treats another.
To bring it down to campus manners, woman ought to consider it a compliment when a man tips his hat to her! W. R. H.
