AMATEUR ATHLETICS
Ever since the first bath kit was installed in the great American home in 1846 blue Sunday has started early Saturday night.
The Athletic Board, without doubt voiced the opinion of all true sportsmen when it declined Missouri's invitation for a post-season basketball game. While the challenge was made in a fine spirit of rivalry, yet such a game would have no needered on the professional and would have been a stimulus for much gambling.
In practically every collegiate conference in the United States it is customary for the members to play a certain number of games in a season and if two or more teams are tied for first place at the close, well and good. In not a single instance of this kind has the tie ever been played off. Then too, the Valley Conference does not recognize such a thing as a championship, so little would have been gained by the battle.
A post-season game between Kansas and Missouri would have established a precedent which probably should have caused much trouble in the future. With this game as an example, other schools in a similar position would not have dared turn down such an invitation. The word "oward" would be hurled at them from all sides.
The basketball season is over. Each team has played the scheduled number of games. The Jayhawkers and Tigers are tied for first place and both teams are worthy holders of the honor. The track season is approaching. A Kansas-Missouri basketball game would have overshadowed the Dual Meet which is to be held in Convention Hall Friday night, and would have robbed these athletes of their just glory.
If the motive of the game were purely a financial one, then the contest should have been a good thing for the battle certainly would have drawn a record-breaking bus. But college athletics are above such aims. The Athletic Board is to be congratulated on its decision.
If the snow stayed on the ground the year round, one might be almost tempted to believe that K. U. was either becoming the State Agricultural College, or that all the men were engineers.
FALSE ASSUMPTION IN EDUCATION
One of the mistakes in the history of education has been the attempt to force all students into the same course of study, and proceed on the assumption that all have the same mental ability and adaptability. The result has been a lack of democracy in education, which has caused a great number to drop out of school at an early age. With the broadening of purposes in education we are attempting to move from a curriculum of purely classical and required subjects.
and have offered other studies for those not classically minded. The move, but as yet has not been carried far enough in most schools.
The latest step is the segregation on pupils according to their ability in particular courses. We are beginning to recognize the fact that all are not mentally equal in any certain subject. There is no denying the fact that some studies are more difficult for some than they are for others; if we grant this hypothesis, then the logical conclusion is that it is useless to try to make a student who is mentally poor in history or mathematics compete with those who handle these subjects with case. To endeavor to force all to cover the same ground is comparable to an attempt to make one man do the work of two Equals should be grouped together and allowed to do as much as they can. The question arises whether a student should be "flunked" in a give en course in which he has a natura and inescapable imputation. Should a student be failed if he does his best? Probably not.
The Tulsa High School has had a grouping plan which has been in operation for two years. The fact that so conservative a system as that of the New York City schools is considering a grouping plan similar to the Tulsa method presages that such a policy of segregation will be eventually included in all educational situations.
Why not give the grouping plan a trial in colleges and universities? There is as much diversity in the mentality of the college student as in the high school pupil. No longer need the mediocre student be envious of his Phi Beta Kappa classmate if likelihoods are segregated. The Tulsa system looks feasible for higher institutions of learning.
The Taylor murder case has dwindled down to a small two paragraph story on the front page. In another week it will probably be discovered on a remote inside page or disappear entirely.
THE FOUR-POWER TREATY AND THE SENATE
It is becoming, a real question whether the Senate is to assume in the near future all the powers which the Constitution has granted the President of the United States. The struggle for power, which began soon after the close of the Civil War, has been waged with particular bitterness and perseverance on the part of the Senate in the field of treaty making. The Senate prevented the United States from subserving to the Versailles Treaty. Now comes the Four-Power Treaty, one of the many which grew out of the Washington Conference and which is, in its purpose, greatly similar to the one formulated at Versailles. It seems that not even party loyalty has prevented a certain group of Republican Senators, of course ably assisted by their Democratic colleagues, from attacking and hindering the ratification of tts treaty.
If half the reservations in the demands proposed were incorporated in the terms of the treaty we should find it another document entirely. It seems rather as though the senators are demanding the insertion of reservations merely for the sake of assuring their power and it is making the Senate ridiculous.
The Senate, acting within its constitutional rights, is a policy determining body. To it belongs the right to reject a treaty or advise the President that a certain clause is objectable, but to admit to it the right to redraw a treaty or change the meaning under pretext of making reservations would be foolish and the idea unworkable.
If ever the Senate succeeds in establishing this usurpation of power the United States Government might as well throw up its hands and no longer attempt to conduct foreign affairs. The intricate details of treaty making will always be subjected to the ponderous deliberation of Senatorial action.

Student Opinion
Editor of the Kansan:
The other day an incident came under my observation which, to say the least, was distressing. I was riding from town to the Hill on a Lawrence street car, and as it was approaching the hill occupied. Seven young ladies boarded the car on Mississippi Street, six and eight young, including myself, arrose and offered our seats. The seventy young man remained seated. The
The thought came to my mind that if a like incident bad happened in olden days, one of we six gentlemen would have swapped the seventh gantly on the cheek and made the necessary; arrangements for a duel; but as it was, we stood up and looked eobased.
The longer I stood and looked at the sevencin man, the more I admired him. He sat with his eyes glued or a microscopic object at the front of the car; the only perceptible facial expression was the slight twitching in her eyes as she moved which caused me to believe he was wrilling his teeth and thinking hard.
The thought of the six young ladies "thanks" was the cause of my admiration. They slid into our seats without the slightest thought of gratitude—never even affecting a glimmer of a smile of appreciation. Since I have thought the matter over I believe the seventh young man was in the wrong; he should have offered his seat but he was only trying to teach a lesson in etiquette probably at his own expense.
Student's Health Code
PEVENTATION OF PNEUMONIA
Many people dread tuberculosis, much is being done to fight the disease. And yet almost as many people die each year from pneumonia as from consumption. Pneumonia is so serious that one person out of every five who gets the disease dies. In the United States and Canada about 150,400 die each year from pneumonia, a number that is about 780,000 hit each year. A person who gets pneumonia is usually unable to work for several weeks. Pneumonia often leaves people, who recover, with weak hearts and lungs. It is a dangerous disease.
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the lungs. It is caused by special kinds of germs. These germs are present in the discharges from the throats and noses of people who are sick with this disease are more likely to cause pneumonia than are the germs from the mouth of well people. But there is danger from any of these germs, especially since they at all times also infect their neighbors. It is well to be careful not to spread these germs at any time.
Plain Tales from the Hill
In the classes of Green Hall, the man who is called upon to recite always rises and remains standing until he is through reciting. One day recently the professor called upon a man to tell what he knew about a certain technical point. The man wearly arrows, and, turning, gaze out of the window in seeming contemplation for minutes; then he turned to the instructor.
All Up to the Professor
Professor: "What part of the government oversees the insane asy lums?"
The ambitious reporter who recently turned in an item to the effect that a prominent man of the faculty honored the College Inn barbers by getting his hair cut there one day last week will soon be sent to the faculty member's house to see whether he brushes his teeth regularly.
"And," concluded the lady, "would be lawyer, "his foot was cut all the way up to his knee."
It was a law class and one of the lady lawyers was describing a case in which the plaintiff had been injured in an accident and the judge had been incubated.
"Professor, I check it over to you,
he said and sank into his seat.
The leader of the expedition going into the Ptegonian wilderness to capture the prehistoric pleistocene pisaurus, expresses the belief that the monster is only a mere infant of 500 summers. Most of the students at the University are inclined to agree with the gentleman, for, they say, an adult of the species would surely be old enough to know that this world is no place for a respectable pleistocene to live.

Student: "There is a state board which has charge of the insane anylums, universities, and other such institutions."
Literary Criticism
Oread Magazine is a number very rich both in variety and quality of material and as fresh and fine as a spring number ought to be. Quill stories from the late 19th century and the magazine contains the prize story, by Austra Cross, a narrative marked with delicate and fine sympathy, and the second prize story, by Joseph S. 'Jurner', a gratifying and entertaining collection of the stereo-chinese quarter.
The Early Spring Number of the Oread Magazine is a number very
A REVIEW
You only begin with these, however. There is a highly-autographed statement from William Allen White that he wrote to which he became editor of judge. It is encouraging to the reader because by the same plain direct method he himself might easily become editor of the London Times or the Saturday Evening Post.
There is an illuminated all but rubricated, ode to the Commons by Professor Josephine Burhm, the commons translated academically into the K. F. Uiling Fstation, the nuances of Vachel Lindsey faithfully adapted do it justice. There are whimsical and engaging essays by Ruth Jane Garver, Muba Patra, Kate more, and Mara Kate, a bit of Japanese from Japan itself by Emma Hughen, a family scene by Evelyn Hughes, an imaginative nocturne by Hazel Ebebart, and an appreciative review by Ruth Jane Garver which will send you instantly to read the book she praises.
The quantity and degree of poetry in the number is striking and pleasing. The quality of it would credit to a magazine of much longer standing. Not only in freshness and fineness of feeling but in technique it is excellent. Victor Solberg, Margaret Larkin, Evelyn Ramsay, Ruth Koch, Joseph Chapman, Thomas Moore, all have verses of marked value and lyric duality.
An added enjoyable feature is the drawings and cover design of Leonard Sebring, which are appropriate and intelligent. The whole number is most creditable to Quill Club and especially for its original work. Carlson, who has applied much taste and discrimination and energy in making up the publication.
Two prizes are being offered at the University of Texas for the best poems written by student poets. These prizes amount to twenty-five dollars for winner of first place and fifteen dollars for second place.
