WHAT REALLY COUNTS
The outcome of the game Saturday afternoon furnished some important material for the formation of technical theories on the necessary qualities of a winning football team. It showed conclusively that Hurricane strength, superiority of size and weight, and a line that is all but impregnable are important but not the only essentials in winning football games. It showed that strength—great, unuffeted, physical strength alone is not sufficient.
The results also furnish us with some evidence as to what really is necessary. This necessity is not easily defined, because it is nothing tangible, like a 20-pound line or a backfilled of giants. Let us, for convenience, designate it as the spirit to fight in the face of obvious defeat.
At the end of the first half Saturday, the old story was very evident on its road to repetition. Kansas was about to be smothered under the terrific attacks of a powerful antagonist. Our inferior weight could not withstand those terrible attacks, which came at us like a freight train, rushing on at full speed. We were compelled to rely upon that more important element—the spirit to fight in the face of defeat, and to fight on until the end. The team did fight until the end, and physical, tangible advantage was indicated to be a secondary quality of football supremacy.
With a t am that has this fighting spirit—a spirit that is unarmed when a game is all but lost—we do not fear the outcome of the Thanksgiving game.
HOW ABOUT KNOCKING?
How many times has a student, b be the freshman or senior, paused at the door of an instructor's office powdering the question before entering, "Shall I knock or shall I enter with or knocketing?" A student was advised by an upperclassman to "Always knock before entering a woman's man!" never knock before entering a man's."
However, this might produce difficulties. It is somewhat embarrassing to burst into a professor's office and find him in the midst of a private meeting. But how shall a student relieve the mental agony of deciding whether to knock or not? An instructor in the University of Cincinnati offered a solution when he tacked upon his office door the placard saying "Enter Without Knocking."
This is only a hint to instructors, but it might save many an embarrassing situation for both instructor and student if some such plan were adopted. "Enter without knocking; leaves the same way," as a policy would no doubt prove a benefit to both instructor and student.
THE FIRST IMPRESSION
First impression of the University are always the lasting ones. In the case of the high school student, these first impressions usually determine him whether or not to enter K. U. If he comes on the campus as a guest of the University, if he has the school's show points pointed out to him, if he has an opportunity to get a first-hand impression of K. U. social life, then the impression is almost certain w be a favorable one.
There are two such opportunities during the year for the giving of impressions; the basket ball tournament in the spring and the high school editors' meeting, held this time in the fall, on November 18, 19 and 20. The high school editors, though fewer in number, have better opportunity to broadcast through their papers the impressions they receive, and special efforts are being made this year to make their impressions of the best.
The first feature of the conference is to be the annual dinner of the Associated Journalists, at which the high school editors will be guests. At this they will hear speeches by Governor Allen and other prominent men. Next after the talks by journalist professors which have become a feature of the annual meetings, will come luncheons by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. In the afternoon there will be a sight-seeing tour of his campus, an address of welcome by the Chancellor, and more talks at the Journalism Building. Then in the evening, the Follies. Saturday there will be round tables, conferences and business session.
After a varied three days, each high school student cannot help feeling that he is taking home a true picture of campus life. He will have seen the K. U. student at home, for the guest will be entertained at fraternity and sorority houses. He will have seen him at work during his visit on the campus, and also how he relaxes, at the Follies. The talks by instructors will have given him a force-taste of his own future University days, and he will have much other first-hand information about the University. The high school editors will meet more than the K. U. journalists during their stay here—they will meet the entire University. And most of them will be "sold" on the K. U. education by the time the conference closes.
THE KU KU KLAN
Occasional but persistent critics have arisen recently to comment营恼ly on the work of the KuKu Klan, University rooting organization. The way the group was formed, its methods of raising funds, and its spirit have all been called into question.
K. U. pup is at a higher standard this year than it has ever been, and no little share of the credit is due to the p.p-provoking activities of the KuKu Klan. Every member has worked hard and nearly all have n g捷ed their personal interests to help k.p football enthusiasm on a high level. The "stunts" have done much to make the games interesting and to help the cheer-and r in his work.
The selling of refreshments under a concession from the athletic management is an entirely legitimate method if raising funds, and every Kuku who takes a trip on money raised in such a manner has earned his journey. Arrived at his destination, he earns the trip all over again making the team feel at home on foreign soil, advertising K. U. to the "coward," and swelling the noise the fans produce who make the trip.
Organized rooting is the only effective sort, and the cheer-leader has had much help in obtaining it by the work of the Kuku Man. And an organization, no matter how organized, that obtains the results the Kuku Kian has, deserves praise rather than censure. They've been a big factor in backup on the coaches and the team —let's quit knocking.
Columbia University has formed an Intercollegiate Copollinum Club. Its purpose is to promote fellowship among students in the University. The feature of the Club's activities this season will be "The National Nights" at which every nation represented we warrant the attendance of all nations with the customs of these countries.

PROFESSOR FRANCIS P. O'BRIEN
Prof. O'Brien received the Ph. D. degree in education at Columbia University, in 1918; and he is author of a research study published by that university on "The High School Failures." The School of Education at Arizona has an enrollment larger than the total number of students at K. U.
In evening schools, factory classes, and citizenship groups for alliens, he says, "pupils of 60 years were not an uncommon sight, and more than twenty different nationalities were in attendance to the same evening school building."
PROFESSOR OR FRANCIS P. O'BRIEN.
Francis P. O'Brien, Professor of
Education at New England
Service Research, who has succeeded
Prof. C. A. Buckner in that position,
is a man of experience in the
educational field. He has filled various
positions in New York and New
Jersey, tendent of city schools, mainly in
the state of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
During the war he took an active part in the work of Americanization and directed the activities in
the industrial cities of New England.
"I came to the University of Kansas," said Dr. O'Brien, "because I believe heartily in the development of the profession of teaching. I expect its trained leaders to hold a place because of their experience and I am interested in the opportunity that exists here to aid in providing that kind of training and service which will tend to promote the efficiency of our public education and to make it democracy's best agent, as it should be. We are beginning to learn more about traditional training of children in school."
The School of Education at K. U. has made a splendid start, and its opportunities for research and service along educational lines are practically unlimited. "Although some of the unlimited," "Although some of the have larger departments of education," "there is a room to be remembered" says Professor O'Brien, "that state universities—state supported and co-educational—are a comparatively recent development ofducational opportunity. They can hardly be said to exist in the West. Their home is in the West, and their glory is increasing." The Bureau of School Service is particularly interested in the encouragement of scientific methods of teaching and research products, as the basis of directing educational policies in a more scientific manner.

A scientist has discovered a method of making gasoline from straw. Now we may tour on last year's Panama.
It is rather odd that General Wrangel is an anti-Bolshevist leader.
Looks like there were more and more strikes every day—except in the oil development around our lease.
Gasoline should be pronounced with the accent on the last syllable.
See America first if you would see it last.
Another trouble about the growth of the university is that it means more classes, and more classes, more quizzes.
Count that day gained whose low descending sun beholds no new exam that must be done.
If there is one thing that hurts worse than getting your lesson, it is not having time to get it.
On Other Hills
The University of Oregon comes forth with a statement that fifty-two per cent of their students earn half or more of their college expenses. One-third of the total registration is entirely self-supporting. Statistics further show that three times as many men work as women. Four hundred out of the nine hundred boys furnish all their funds, while only two percent of them work. Among the various classes, the freshman class shows the highest per cent, with the special students coming next.
High power continuous-wave wireless apparatus of signal corp design are to be installed in ten universities of the country for the use of students in the Signal Corps of the R. O. T. C. units of the schools. The schools that are to have the wireless sets are. Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Carnegie Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, and Texas College of Agriculture and Mining.
WANT ADS
"The majority of women in this university dress in a fairly suitable manner to appear on the Hill," said F. Louise Nardin, dean of women at Wisconsin University, in commenting that she has "the pleated skirts I consider delightful. They are good in length, width and line. Co-eds themselves argue that clothes make the women. But the girl who appears on the camus wearing a silk dress trimmed with white buttons is likely to match, or merry-weddow hat, is about as foolish as the man who wore tan shoes to a formal."
Three business administration honor societies have pledged themselves to support the honor system adopted last year by the University of Washington. For one student to speak briefly before each examination on campus, what is expected of the individuals were some of the plans adopted. It was further desired to "call" students, found cheating. Beyond this, members of each of the societies resolved to immediately start a promoting campaign against abuse of truthful responsibilities.
