The Daily Kaanan asks to pre-

THE RIGHT SPIRIT
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 2, 1921
Coach "Phog" Allen has shown the spirit of the "New Era" in his request that the "thundering thousand" show the greatest possibility sportmanship to the visiting teams during basket ball games. Doctor Allen's last request is that no spectator leave the gym until after the last whistle has blown. The reason for such is that visiting players and coaches may be able to make their way to the dressing rooms without being hampered by the leaving crowd.
Doctor Allen has shown much broadmindedness and sportsmanship in his requests of the student body concerning athletic activities. And the student body has responded excellently to the leadership of its coach. Visiting teams have come
mended the good sportsmanship which K. U. crowds have shown, both in the athletic contest and outside. Kansas has made other schools feel that clean sportsmanship must, wtn, and me the spirit of trickishness.
There could be no better spirit instilled in the minds of K. U. players and supporters at such a critical time in the history of the University. Kansas will have more winning teams and more valley titles, if its players and students will follow the advice of their able coach. The "New Era" and the Lindley administration will have a greater success if such advice is carried out. Good sportsmanship is the first prerequisite of successful collegiate athletics and activities in the "new era" of all institutions.
A knocking motor may be remedied by the use of a proper lubricating oil, but unfortunately, it will not help a knocking student.
TODDLE ON!
The desire of Mars, the great God of war, for human blood and sacrifice is not satiated; dynasties decay and are overthrown; governments and rulers appear and disappear; modern civilization even trembles in its foundations as nations clash; and America, free America, is toddling from coast to coast, from the Ri Grande to the Columbia.
The year of 1921 and the tiddle face the future with practically the name outlook. Many experts predict national and international crises during the year. Authorities on dancing also predict a rough road for the tiddle. Censors of the dance and authorities of schools have been waging a hot fight against it. And, in
The toddle arrived by a process of evolution. It is scarcely detectable in the stately walk; the two-step is innocent to an almost prohibitive degree; the one-step is one of the oldest ancestors of the modern toddle; the fox trot is more closely akin; the turtle trot, raag, dame duck, and jungle, mark small steps in its deposition; the shimmy is its immei- ded predecessor, but has yielded the honor to its latest rival.
truth, the toddle is a harmless dance, and does not deserve the opposition that it meets. Its existence without doubt is ephemeral as nearly all other dance craves have been. It will soon outlive its novelty and something else will take its place.
The dance was the thing in 1920. There are no indications that it will be superseded by any other form of amusement in 1921. It cannot remain the same from year to year and fill its place as an amusement. Other tastes change. The dance also must change. The youth of the country demands the dance.
PREPARE FOR LEADERS
Strange the advocates of cheaper shoes didn't remember that "when my shoes wear out, I'll be on my feet again."
If college men and women are to be leaders in their communities, they should receive their preparation while in school. And surely every college student aspires to, and will be expected to, fill such a position, in the place in which he resides. The educated people in any community are most often the ones chosen to fill executive offices of all kinds, whether on a large or small scale.
A good leader, besides having other vastly important qualifications must know how to conduct meetings. He
Toddle on!
should be well versed in parliamentary law. Unless students learn to use Robert's Rules of Order in their school organizations they are not apt to place much significance on compliance with parliamentary rules, when they leave school.
Not enough emphasis is being placed on the order carried out in our University meetings. Very few students, who are chairmen of the various organizations, know how to conduct the
meetings in an orderly, parliamentary manner. Motions are made, seconded and stated by the president, and then after being thoroughly discussed are withdrawn by the mover. Substitute motions and amendments are made to the utter despair of the man in the chair.
However, not alone is the presiding officer at fault, but the members are equally uninformed in these matters. They second nominations, talk without securing the floor and present con-
lecting information concerning disturbing situations for the chairman. When some point arises, can be settled in a just manner only by parliamentary law, a heated contest may follow, because of lack of knowledge of parliamentary etiquette. The using of parliamentary law in meetings is the only way to assure orderly meetings and fairness to all concerned. College men and women should acquaint themselves with these rules and use them in their daily meetings.
Though badly in need of $100,000.00, Henry Ford does not seem to be worried, and says "he is sitting on top of the world." In such a condition, most of us would be "down in the depths."
YE EDITORS SPEAK
"The newspapers of Kansas stand four-square for one hundred per cent Americanism."
Such was the sentiment of the editors of Kansas in the annual convention at Topeka last week. Laying aside their typewriters, forgetting to about presses, linotypes, subscribers and advertisers, they swarmed to the of capital city bent on enjoying and in improving themselves by mutual association and swapping of talk.
And they did both of these. No one best who saw them at Memorial Hall, at the legislature, and on the street corners could fail to catch their spirit of joyous relaxation. And no one who attended their meetings, and read the resolutions unamously adapted by the associations could fail to realize that they had caught the true spirit of mutual helpfulness, and stood united in their attitude on vital civic and moral problems of the state and
"One hundred percent American-
ism"—a sweeping phrase, with the
characteristic war-time tang. But
how appropriately it expresses those
sentiments which every loyal publisher
as well as business man, or student,
or farmer, feels rising within him in
these troubled days of wild theories
and escapades.
Another resolution which the Editorial Association adapted "viewed with disfavor the proposal to restore capital punishment in Kansas, and opposed taking any backward step on any moral issue."
As long as Kansas editors thus clearly see the way in the fare of such basic problems of public welfare, the Jayhawker state need fear no permanent contamination by those radical and alien forces which tend to tear down a state's very fiber.
The bill introduced in the Kansas Legislature to tax bachelors ten dollars annually, was killed. No doubt a number of the mobshacks have come to life since pocket book reducers has been buried.
WHAT ABOUT K. U?
In spite of the consistent plea for cutting down appropriations, which the Farmer's Union of Kansas has kept before the legislature, they presented one recommendation to the new-makers which is at variance with their general attitude. That is a recommendation providing that the
Members of the farmers' association have visited the Boy's Industrial school, and have seen the need there, and have been favorably impressed by the work which the institution is doing. Hence their favorable attitude on appropriations for it.
Boys Industrial school have all the appropriation asked for.
It speaks well for the agriculturists that they thus believe in helping a good thing along, even though it may mean a little more immediate expense. They are not, after all, too cautious or niggily in their attitude toward public institutions.
What the Boys' Industrial school showed the farmers when they visited it, the University of Kansas should show, and can show, the farmers if they visit Mount Oread. The University as a training place for Kansas future leaders, is justly worthy of sufficient appropriations.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
William Allen White can hold up his end of an argument, but he does not seem to believe in any "loud stuff." An editorial in the Gazette recently, politely asks an opponent to "calm down, Brother."
Campus Opinions
The new ruling that all seniors should take examinations irreparable of grades has brought forth cries of disappointment from those affected by it last semester. The sadness of its coming was a shock to many who had worked hard during the semester, partly with that in idea mind as it was the custom to excuse seniors drawing an A or D,
And I cannot understand why they were not justified in showing their disappointment nor why such a ruling, although only temporary until the Senate could make a final decision, should be made. In behalf of the rule is that the custom lowers scholarship. I cannot see the basis for such an argument. Since the student must be receiving an A or B in the course in which he or she is excused, it does not stand to reason that such a custom could do anything but raise scholarships. It is better that other students in favor of the ruling.
From the standpoint of a Junior, who will not be affected this year, it seems that when graduation time drawing an A or B in courses, release rolls around next year, and if he or she shall have successfully completed the four year course and shall be drawing an A or B in courses, the quizzes and added time for preparation for commencement should be the reward.

On Other Hills
An alumni at Iowa states that taking final examinations is more trying than law-making. The alumna was a member of the state legislature.
Texas seems to possess a few "sticky fingers" as well as other institutions. A fraternity house at the university is also stolen, and silverware was stolen. The Daily
Texan reports that the members of the fraternity are suffering from "cut lips and slashed tongues" as a result of the theft.
Sherwood Eddy, prominent religious leader, is conducting meetings at the University of Texas this week.
Pennsylvania is "Senior Week." The tentative plans for the new afair have placed the date of the big time March 7-12. The week has been one month's worth, and after five days of jubilee, the celebration will end with the Ivy Ball.
B baseball practice has started at the University of Texas, and the first call for candidates resulted in one hundred aspirants for the Texas nine. Texas should have some team with such a number of players to choose from.
Grinnell College is making decided headway in its drive for $1,000,000, according to the Scarlet and Black. The city of Grinnell has started its first college program for high school students $125,000. The students of the college have been asked to raise $80,000.
Knox College students have raised a total of $50,000 in the Knox drive. The average per student totals $100.
The student publications of the larger Pacific coast universities have organized an intercollegiate news service and a news magazine. Intercollegiate Press Association.
North Carolina University is making a strong appeal to the State Legislature for sufficient funds to meet the university necessities. The University News Letter states that 2,308 student applicants were turned away from the university last fall for lack of room.
Members of the Southwestern Intercollege Press association are the student body papers of the University of California, Pomona college, Redlands university, University of Arizona, University of Nevada, Davis Agricultural school, Whittier college, California School of Technology, and the southern branch of the University of California.
