HONOR TO THE VICTORS
The K. U. rifle队 of the Reserve Officers' Training Corps deserves much credit for winning the championship of the Seventh Corps Area. Such a victory gives honor not only to the local R. O. T. C. unit, but to the University of Kansas as well. Consideration of the strength of the competitors in the shoot and the fact that the Kansas team was competing with thirty-one corps, representing some of the largest universities and military schools of the United States, certainly makes the victory a significant evidence of the skill and ability of the K. U. marksmen.
All agree with the statement made by Maj. H. J. D. Burdick, commandant of the unit, "The team has made a mighty fine score." They did make a good record and they are deserving of the praise. A seventeen-point lead over the nearest competitor shows the high quality of the marksmanship by the men representing the Crimson and the Blue.
By virtue of the victory in the Seventh Corps Area, Kansas is eligible for the intercollegiate matches, which will terminate May 15. Fifty-six teams, representing nine corps areas over the entire country, will be entered. The K. U. men have a good chance to win the national championship. But in order to bring home the victory, the University team will be required to fire one position a week for six weeks, and to practice daily in addition. Careful training and patience will be necessary to make victory possible.
We are backing you. K. U. rifle squad, just as we are pulling for the men on the baseball diamond or track.
We want you to win, and we are confident, judging from the excellent record that you have already made, that the intercollegiate champions on May 15 will be the Mount Oread rifle team.
Just now there is something very significant about the word broker.
THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL
Mayor Hylan's recent speech, as reported in the New York World, must have set the mouths of Gotham gaping like stranded fish.
Two years ago, had New York's political clown dared utter similar sentiments—that the late war was a rich man's war, that American boys were needlessly sacrificed as grist for the war-goid's mill, and that mercenary motives prompted our entry he would have been precipitately imprisoned.
But today he is not hurled into prison. New York merely gaes. However much his remarks may be presented, however much his yellow hue may be mirrored back a crimson public indignation, Mayor Hylan, citizen of the United States, is rightfully given his constitutional privilege of free speech.
Perhaps the citizenry of America is beginning to recall that constitutional rights must be respected. This self-same citizenry suffered from a lapse of memory during the exigencies of war, which threatened to abrogate freedom of discussion and with it to clamp autocratic censorship upon our democratic form of government.
Maybe the Hand of Democracy is writing on the walls of our courtrooms and legislative chambers: "Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press, and Freedom of Peaceable Assemblage," even for a Hylan.
TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL
Luther Burbank, plant wizard, says that no boy or girl should be permitted to see the inside of a school 100 until he or she is at least ten years old. He declares that the same treatment and care necessary to the highest development of plant life also is essential to the highest development of human life.
At first thought one might think that Mr. Burbank is deviating from his profession in making these statements. Other men who have achieved success along various lifes of work, realizing the power of prominence, have taken upon themselves the task of giving advice when, in reality, they are not capable of doing so. Their advice to people of their own profession is sound, but given to the world in general, it is a different matter.
Mr. Burbank's advice seems to be sound for more than one reason. He would have all boys and girls raised in the country or in small towns "The nearer to nature the better," he says. He seems to have confidence in the bare-foot boy; he says that one foot boy has stamina. And in addition to this he would have him reared in love. Be honest with the ebbi is his advice.
This throws some light on the coouttishness of college students today. There seems to be too much hurry and not enough worry in the youth of the land who are rushed off to school when they are only five years old, skip a few grades in the grade school, and before they fully realize the extent and meaning of responsibility, are pushed out into the world with a college degree under their arm aid a bunch of vague ideas under their hats.
That Mr. Burbank's theory deserves some consideration is shown by the statistics on the number of boys and girls who quit while they are still in high school, and who quit after they start to college. A small per cent receive a high school education and a very small per cent go through college. Obviously, this is not due entirely to youthfulness, nor can the blame be traced as far back as the child's early training; but there is little doubt that a great deal depends upon basic knowledge and training. Both can be obtained in the first ten years of a child's life and the rest will undoubtedly follow chronologically in
undoubtedly follow chronologically in normal cases.
The curse of nations is upon the American people. Not content with the trouble they caused by introducing the American Indians to firewater, the Yankees have now taught the French the despicable habit of chewing gum.
YOUNG K. U. SPORTS
Now that K. U. has caught up with most of the other universities regards the number of different recognized forms of athletics, why not organize a gym team?
It is safe to say, however, that the wrestling team will show better results next year than it did this, as the game is new in men here. Even at that, they showed some improvements in the last meet at Koln, where they managed to capture two of the matches, the first that have been won by K. U. wrestlers this year. Everything has to have a beginning and now that we've got such a good start on these other events, we might try a gym team in intercollegiate competition. In a few years we may have a winning team in all these events.
versity as may be judged by the results of the meets that have been held in these events.
We have gone in for wrestling and boxing, both new games for the Uni-
sion so we may be judged by the re
Kansan Krackles
And now there is another royal wedding on tap. Crown Prince Christian Frederick of Sweden and Princess Olga of Greece are to wed, and the cost of paper going up too.
"That duck hasn't got anything on me," said the old hen as she stepped out one wet morning in her new ga-loshes.
Headline—Many taking work by correspondence. Most people keep as far away from work that they have to take it by correspondence.
One consolation for all this mantle of snow which Mount Oread is wearing, and its students enduring, is that it very effectually conceals our "campus beautiful."
K. U. co-eds could be thrown in the "hoosegow" for appearing in $87.55 worth of finery spread out over the year. That is if the existing price we used as a basis for the budget.
Plain Tales from the Hill
When in Rome do as the Romans do. During the recent High School Tournament, the visiting teams were entertained at the various organization houses. One of the fraternities happened to be having a bit of "Hell Week" prior to the initiation of some sort of sports tournament, the course of the week for the pledges to walk backwards when passing through the doors.
The visiting basketball men watched this curious procedure with gravitation attention for some little time; they gathered in little groups and whispered among themselves. There seemed to be no visible force compelling some individuals to use the reverse paddle, and yet they noticed that always certain men about-faced when they came to a doorway.
Why was it? It well, the high school men couldn't say, but they were no going to run any risk of offending what might be a sacred tradition of their hosts. After one last whispered conference, they seemed decide on action. Soon thereafter they started to the gymnasium, but as they left the house, one and all they turned and BACKED OUT THE DOOR
