THE GILKEY CAMPAIGN
Tomorrow Doctor Gilkey will speak for the first time at the University in convocation. Then follows his series of lectures. Undoubtedly there is something to be got from his lectures. The question is will the student body get it. Whether it will or not depends a great deal upon the attitude which the individual student takes to the meeting.
Doctor Gilkey is spoken of as one of the most forceful speakers in the American ministry today. His appeal is not so much to the theological side as to the common-sense, right living, thinking of a person. Because he is an interesting speaker, students will go to listen to him.
Is it not then entirely up to the students themselves whether the Gilkey lectures are to be of lasting benefits, or whether influence is to deport as soon as Dr. Gilkey himself?
The thing that must be avoided, however, in order that the full benefit of these lectures may "get across" to the student, is that of regarding the series of lectures as the old fashioned revival meeting. That is, as something to be listened to with a certain amount of emotional reaction and the next day to be promptly forgotten. Such was usually the effect of the old time method of religion.
If the Lawrence motorcycle "opp" would "joyride" on the campus every day, he might have several more speed kings giving bond for appearance in court. He wouldn't have to have an eagle eye to see a speeder or two any hour of the day that he chooses to spend on Mount Oread. Come again. Pedestrians are getting quite proficient in the art of car-dodging, but the exercise is too strenuous for warm weather.
ATHLETES HAVE SCHOLAS TIC ABILITY. TOO
Universities and colleges are merely boarding clubs for athletes, say the wise ones who have little faith in the institutions for higher education. A good athlete can go to any college four years and go out with a sneekin under his arm. It is ruining the scholastic standard of American Universities and colleges, they cry. But did these so-called reformers ever investigate the conditions under which the average athlete has to study? True, some allowances are made by professors to athletes, but as a rule they are just as good scholars, as the average student. Statistics compiled at the University of California showed that the members of the varsity football squad stood higher than the general average of the university in the scholastic averages. Does that look as though the college athlete got his education by brute strength and athletic prowess alone?
Athletes have to be clear thinkers and men with brains if they are to compete in contests that require physical ability. To become an athlete star requires mentality of the high-
et type. There is no reason why the performers on the gridiron, on the basket ball court, on the baseball diamond, or any form of athletic competition, should not be a good student.
Why is it that the athlete at the University or any other institution of learning, cannot make as high marks in his studies as some would like him to have? The chief reason is that the athlete is away from his studies much of the time on account of the time that is required for practice in the sport in which he excels; and also the athlete is kept away from his school work when he goes on athletic excursions. Faculty members should take note of this, and overcome the handicap thus caused to the athlete in the pursuit of his studies by allowing every participant in interscholastic contests the privilege of making up all scholastic work that he misses. The athlete cannot help missing the work but the professor can make it possible for him to recover lost ground. Do the professors at the University of Kansas give this opportunity to every wearer of the Crismon and Blue colors? Some do and others do not.
There have been cases at the University when professors would not even let members of athletic teams make up quizzes that were missed while the players were away from school on athletic trips. Is that fair treatment? Even if coaches so desired everyone knows that it is impossible to schedule all contests for the home field. Some classes will have to be slighted.
Of course, instructors are not to blame for all poor scholastic work among athletes. Faculty members do not have a life of ease and during the rush at the end of semesters they are almost exhausted by their exacting labors. But in a few isolated cases professors might alleviate some of the unsatisfactory work of the athletes.
The only solution of the students' problem is the giving of every chance to the athlete for study—for which he primarily attends the University. Reduce the number of hours that he may carry while actively engaged in some form of athletics to a minimum. Give him every privilege due to him as a student and an athlete and then require him to make good. Such considerations ought to make the college heroes good scholars as well as good actors on the court or gridiron, and the question of commercialized athletics will disappear.
In a recent book review, the Kansan stated that in the last issue of the Oread Magazine there was "a Highly Autographed" statement by William Allen White. Does this mean Mr. White has large handwriting?
THE PLESIOSAURUS HUNT
The whole world was startled a few days age by dispatches from South America to the effect that a prehistoric animal had been "glimpsed" by an English hunter while on an expedition in the Andes. The scientist world was thrown into an uproar, and an expeditionary force composed of men of science set out at once to bring in the animal, dead or alive.
The average American's reaction to this report probably was that it must be a potent brand of liquor that is brewed in the Andes mountains. The second reaction might have been that the hunter displayed a remarkable amount of originality for an Englishman. Swaying street, dancing lamp-pots and green snakes, all of these we came to accredit in the days before Volstead came into his own; but a Plesiosaurus—we are consumed with admiration.
We are wondering, too, if the Englishman who saw the animal is not a journalist when not out on hunting expeditions in the Andes. Or perhaps a lawyer. Certainly he made his story stick; which after all, seems to be the real test of a good story.
Some people wonder if the Democratic Senators are getting the material for their speeches against the Four-Power Pact from the Congressional Record of a few years back.
A head in the Kansan says, "African Revolution Now Under Control." Can this mean that all dice are now loaded?
Student Opinion
To the Editor of The University Daily Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Sir;
The evolution of "The American language" seems to be proceeding apace at the University of Kansas. The gifted author of a prize story alludes to what might happen "if I could tell you of what passed between she and Chong Lo that latent at their home." A verray, partit, gentil knight, in the course of many chivalrous and sensual stories, becomes familiar with us of gentlemen." Similar expressions are not infrequent in the conversion of students.
Now, whatever our scientific view of linguistic change, it is expedient $t_0$ conform to the speech canons of our own time, rather than to futuristic cannis which we surmise may be accepted in the twenty-third century. We are fortunate that we have less than its own non-conformists to trouble it. According to the speech canons of our time, it is the fashion to put the pronoun-object of a preposition into the objective case. Call it accusative if you refer, or by some other name. The label matters not at all; what matters very much is that we should assign a customatic custom of a type infinitely more vital than the question of the split infinitive. I suspect that in the editorial office of any eminent newspaper, a man who writes "one of three" would be as conspicuous (and as greatly in danger of eviction) as a person who should have essayed to one of Queen Victoria's great courtesans dressed in golfing costume.
Fellow-students, try these on your vocal apparatus until by instinct you speak them trippingly on the tongue, between you and me, one of us girls, gave the book to James and me, to him and his sister, to her and to her brother, to us and our friends, to them and to us, to them and to me. While you are at it, you might also practice on "praised him and me, blamed them and us, blamed her and him," and so on. And — if you are planning to be a minister—are you master of the distinction between these
and thou?
Yours very truly, Josephine M. Burnham
Student's Health Code
FRESH AIR IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS GOOD FOOD.
Make it a habit to take some deep breathing each day while going from one building to another on the camper well, to live longer and better.
Open your window often during the day, but avoid drafts, which cause chills; changing the temperature of room has a stimulating, tonic effect.
Overheated air is usually dry and robs the nose of its protective power, causing many "coils." Seventy-degree temperatures about the correct room temperature.
Students suffer more from "colds" and diseases of the respiratory tract than all other diseases combined. Ordinarily you use only one-tenth of your lung space in breathing, why not extend it to twice-tenths occasions? Correct breath will prevent a lot of this sickness.
Sleep with your bed-window windows open but keep your head well protected. Sleeping in a closed room heated with an oil or gas stove is harmful. One-third of your life is, or should be, sent in restful, natural sleep and the air you breathe at this time should be the best.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The star reporter was trying to write the big story of the day, but the girls were selling candy in the market. They tried to be glued across at the table full of candy around which a whole fleet of women were gathered.
The books of travel call Norway the "Land of the Midnight Sun," but land isn't anything on the United States, boasts the Daily Nebraska. This is also the land of the "Midnight—or after—Son."
"How can a man write with all this sweet stuff around?" he wailed.

Students at the University cannot agree that as a class they are dishonest in quizzes. Only recently a man, who had used his notes during a test, turned in a sheet of the notes between the leaves of his quiz book. Students are now asking who could be a better show of honesty.
thinks freedom of the campus means that he must shup mud on many pedestrians as possible at the crossings."
The girls of the women's building at the University of Texas have adopted the plan of Armenian breakfasts as a means of raising funds for student relief in the near East. The breakfast consists of a cup of hot chocolate and one thick slice of bread and is to be served five consecutive mornings. The money saved in this fashion will e contributed to the fund.
On Other Hills
Columbia University has instituted a custom similar to one now in vogue at Amherst* College by giving the Sophomore class a crown which is to be hidden and sought for by the freshmen. If the latter fail to find their way, they must pass through the following, year also. Should they find it in either of the years, possession of the coveted article goes to them, but should they fail to find it, the succeeding class receives the trophy. Thus there will be constant rivalry between the members of the class. The only restrictions are that the crown cannot be taken to Europe or placed in a bank vault.
The Utah Chronicle, a student newspaper of the University of Utah, is making arrangements to establish a radio news service with the intermountain and coast schools. Communication is already being had with the University of Colorado and the two other Utah schools, the Agriculture College and the Brigham Young University, by transmitting the transmission of the news is Ira J. Karr, president of the Utah Amateur Radio Association. His equipment includes a radio phone as well as a wireless code service - IdaHougnau.
The University of Hawaii at Honolulu offered athletic authorities at the University of Arizona a two year football contract starting this year. The contract provides the first game shall be played at Honolulu next Christmas day and the second game a year later at Tuson. The athletic committee plans to take action on the prosession within a few days.
