THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, 1920. POLITICAL APATHY There is something humourously pathetic in the dismay of the Hill's politicians this fall at the students' lack of interest in the approach class elections. The opening weeks of school have always been the politicians' own, and the activities of the year could not begin in a proper manner until the leaders of the classes had be n chosen. But now it's different. Football ranks first in the minds of students, most of whom do not like that the campaign should be on right now, since elections will be held Oct 8. But there's a real danger in this lack of interest in politics, meritorious as is the supremacy of football. Just as it is every citizen's duty to take an interest in the government of his state, so should the student find out what manner of men are those who would rule his cans, put on his dances, and issue his year-book. Unsurprulous politicians—yes, there are still a few —could casually seize upon this opportunity to趴在 a figure "figure heads" so they and their clique might rule law. The new constitution did much to end public rule at the University. But unless students take an interest in student government, matters are apt to return to the old status. Causes and political meetings will soon be held. Go to them. Try to meet the candidates if the campaign is so show they don't come and try to meet you. Talk over their qualifications with your room-mate and the other students in the house. Know who you're voting for, and do your duty as one of a self-governing body—vote intelligently. PURGE THE GAME Every man on the campus and many women too are intensely interested in the baseball revelations coming out of Chicago this week. M members of the White Sox team, it has been shown in confessions from several of the players, deliberately throw ant year's World's Series to Chemtail for money paid by gamblers. The Whites Sox wore probably the most popular ball team ever gathered tog th. r. They showed that on their trip around the world with the Giants several years ago. The personality of Charec Comiskey, owner of the club since the American League began, had much to do with the team's popularity. And now the "Old Roman" has done much to save the good of baseball by purging the team of all players who took tainted money, although the loss in contracts will be an early a quarter of a million to him. How do the fans feel toward eight players who took money keep their team from winning? The eight men but for Camikey's prompt action might have done much to injure baseball irreparably, just as horse racing has fallen into disrepute through "the activities of gamblers." The fans realize this, and though they appreciate the enormity of the wrong these athletes committed, there little bitterness. The supporters of the game realize the inmate weakness of man—his failing for "easy money." There are few who would not fight a mortal battle themselves to keep $10,000 found under a pillow if its retention involved only the commission of a deed which in all probability would never be discovered. "I did it to pay off a mortgage— for the wife and kids," said Eddie Cicotte. Of course organized baseball snall he kept clean, and none of these players can ever enter its ranks again. They deserve the bitterness of fandom because they forget loyalty to the team and its backers, forget sportmanship and fair play when their moment of temptation came. But despite all this "We're mighty sorry for you fellow!" is the message of the fans to Joe Jackson, Buck Weaver, Chick Gandil, Hap Folsch, Lefty Williams, Eddie Cicotte, Charley Riberg and Fred McMullin. FRESHIE GET YOUR NIGHT SHIRT You may be a modest and model young man, K. U. fresh, but the Night Shirt parade is one time in the school year when you must put away your modest fairness, don you night garb and be one of the gang for the big rally. It comes once a year, and your reputation will not be impaired if you participate. However, it may be greatly impaired if you do not participate. Every man 'n the University is expected to be at this biggest outburst of pop of the year. Saturday night is the appointed time for the annual affair, which is to be celebrated with the usual solemnity this year. It will be a time to eat, drink, and be merry," and whoever does not join in is truly a slacker. It is your chance to help make the thundering thousand known. BETTING LOYALTY Is your school loyalty the kind that has to be paid for? If so it isn't the true college spirit and the team should not be backed by such loyalty. You have no doubt heard the college student, "Says old man, you owe me in bucks on that last game." If your loyalty the betting kind? Are dollars all you see in a K. U. victory? Be a loyal son of Kansas and watch your team go to victory with an interest in the team and your school, not with an interest in how much you will lose or gain in money. Try it, and you will find that your Alma Matr will mean more to you than the money you get through betting on her. Come with a whole hearted interest in her, her victories, and not for greed of gold. How many of us, we wonder, in the rush and hurry of the first few weeks, have stopped to think of the new student in the next room or across the hall? DON'T SNUB HIM Too many of us, when we come back to our Alma Mater for another nine months, are so busy with our old friends, and our own private affairs, that we never stop to think of the one who is coming here for the first time and has no friends. Maybe he is homeschic and lonesome. Maybe he is blue and discouraged. Maybe he is overwhelmed with lengthy assignments and the newness of the work even as we ourselves once were. Possibly we have flung a pleasant word to him, as we went our happy way; but is that enough? Can we not do more than that? Can't we take him into our midt, sharing his burden and lightening it with our friendly interest? Can we not share our pleasures with him, asking him into our room, and thereby establishing that feeling of intimacy that only a college room can? he Can't we make the new student feel to at home? Can't we make him feel that he is really wanted here? And then when he goes "back home" it will be with a feeling of pride that he talks about old K. U. Who ever is responsible for the invention of tans and having elong to them all these years should be exiled. "TEAS" When no other entertainment can be thought of teas are usually given and the freshmen on the Hill are asked to attend, usually in such a way as to make it impossible for them to refuse, so they must attend and be bored to tears. What good does it do them? It certainly isn't an asset to their education. Teens break into their afternoons, take away their appetites for dinner. The tea is usually like warm and makes them sick, the cakes, toast or candy is messy, conversation is general because they do not know any one, it is also interrupted by the arrival of new guests, then to end the happy afternoon they must bid their hostess adieu and tell they have had a nice time which is not so. And yet teas continue to be given. Fraternities and sororites have breathed their last at Bethany College. The faculty of the institution a short time ago recommended to the Board of Directors that definite action be taken in the matter. The board immediately called a meeting of sororites among the students and teachers of Bethany should be prohibited. On Other Hills FRESHMEN MEN DO NOT SUFFER ALONE AT 11:00AM Mysterious proceedings began at Odily Hall early Tuesday, when at 3 o'clock a. m. the freshman girls were dressed up from their slumber by the sophomore. They were ordered to dress and were led blindfolded by their superiors outside the building to the rear lawn. Here they were fed clammy, slippery spaghetti, dried bread and raw meat. MIKE THE MINING ENGINEER Says that if there were more institutions like the Missouri School of Mines, and fewer dress suit colleges, like some he'd hate to mention, there wouldn't be much probability of a coal shortage this winter — Missouri Miner. The blindfolded girls were con- cted across the campus into the woods. The sophomores handed out lashlights and disappeared, leaving his innocents in the woods.-Ohio State Lantern. "Call 119 and ask for the man it the back room," were the instructions found by one Freshman when he returned to his rooming house from the lounge. He was able to stand the laugh which greeted him from the other end of the 'phone until he asked information, and found he had called an undertaker's establishment. And there, as in many cases, the back room is reserved for dead ones. —For Rent—First class room suit. able for faculty member.
