OUR RIFLE TEAMS
The men's and women's rife teams have been doing some meritorious work this week, and because they do not display their game before the students, there has been little credit or boosting done for them. Yet theirs is a record of which any team might be proud. The women have a perfect slate, and the men stand very near the top in the winning column.
One member of the men's team broke the world's intercollegiate record in his firing this winter, and the women have fired bulb's eyes from start to finish in nearly every match. There has been no cheering from the students over these victories. Those engaged in this work have performed their task very quietly. They have spent hours and hours of practice in order to develop and perfect their shooting ability. When it came time for a match with mother school, the firing was done and the results were reported to the opponent by mail.
There has been no ostentation, no call or demand for recognition, but there has been a great amount of loyalty shown and sacrifice made on the part of the members of the teams. Of course, some of them will receive sweaters as a recognition of their service. But they deserve a recognition that will mean more to them—an appreciation by the Hill of what they are doing.

A BED TIME STORY
One rainy night the senior class held a meeting because their publicity man had scheduled the meeting for that night and it wouldn't do to put it off. So some foolish students put on their skisers and gum boots and went to the meeting, but all the wise students simply toasted their toes on the cookstove and laughed and laughed because they knew what the meeting would be like.
But when the foolish senior got to the meeting it wasn't so bad after all and during the course of events the alumni association made them a proposition which would help the class a lot but would cost each senior some money now, instead of next summer.
So every one was happy and everything went along all right until the wise seniors came to pay their dues and found out about the three dollars and then they were mad—oh, they were very mad indeed and they "caused and gaped" for days and days.
"WANGO-PANGO"
Moral: Go to class meetings and do your "griping" there.
The recent production of Wango Pango has caused such violent outbursts of ill controlled and cruelly directed criticism that a quiet and sane contemplation of the facts in the case cannot be unwelcome to anyone, for the ill fate of the production.
To those who are wont to criticize wildly let it be known that the production of a musical concert entails an amount of work undreamed of by most students. There must be, in addition, the necessary organization with faultlessness in every department, with a master head at work managing the whole. It is impossible to conceive of one person
alone and unassisted directing a show of the size of Wango-Pango.
This fact will not altogether excuse Mr. Matthews for he must have been aware of the size of his task before he undertook it. To proceed unidied, or with only the assistance which he could get, was nothing short of folly.
Mr. Matthews is not to be condemned personally. This only points out that he failed in a job which was too great for one man to perform alone.
On the other hand, the W. S. G. A. was producing the comedy for mercenary purposes and consequently was leath to give the director a sum sufficient to make it possible for him to have commanded the necessary people to Assist. Mr. Matthews worked constantly under the supervision of people who were more concerned with the conventionality of the performance than with its artistry.
But the director attempted a job of Herculean proportion and allowed himself about one-third as much time as a professional would have required. However, he gave far more time than he was paid for—and this can be figured out in hours and dollars.
"Senate may try English" reads a canson headline. Yes, it may, but it's pretty doubtful.
YALE'S COMPULSORY CHAPEL
Yale's compulsory chapel rule was again brought into the limelight recently in a more or less novel way, and it has since been published in the New Student.
The Harvard Crimes for February 16 contained a sensational crievance of the compulsory chapel system at Yale. The article also said that the attitude of the faculty on the chapel system was conditioned by the fact that Yale is to append shortly for an additional endowment of $20,000,000.
Following the day's issue of the paper it was decided that Yale should read it too. That night two automobiles carried the papers to New Haven where they were said to the Yale men just as they were leaving chapel. Russell Post, chairman of the Yale News, which has recently urged the abolition of compulsory chapel welcomed the support of the Crimesan, and declared that the issue was "freedom from the Yale travesty on Rigion."
CHILLY EASTER BUNNIES
Certainly there has been talk of reforming the calendar but not to the extent of greeting the traditional Easter bummer with a snowstorm. Indeed, S. Claus, well known philanthropist, has good cause to protest at the use of his widely advertised methods. The Kansan has published several editors concerning the progress of spring, the new styles have blossomed out and the robins and the tourists have started in their respective directions. Now look at the place!
The first dandelion is smothered under a snow bank and spring fever as an excuse is totally defunct. Flannels of one kind might well be exchanged for flannels of another. Indications that it is a premature April food joke on people who have purchased their April finery. Indirect Easter bunnies should be advised that snow and galoshes are the order of the day.
Lock step education cannot prepare one to excel in any given endeavor. One is only educated as is the mass. So many students come to be seniors with little or no plan for the future that President Angel of Yale is planning radical alterations to combat this condition at that institution.
First he hopes to organize a bureau where current information can be obtained in the typical occupations of students. He will be members of the graduating class.
LOCK-STEP EDUCATION
Next would be a personnel service which would help the student to determine with some exactness for himself what his real qualifications are and in what fields he can hope to be successful.
These two changes in the regular
cut-and-dried process of education would minimize the lock step results. The student who would have been held back because some in the class were less able than he to learn will be given every chance to progress as he would desire because of this personnel service.
The seniors at the University of Kansas are confronted with the same problem. Save for a few departments, the students must seek their own jobs independent of their instructors. Could these students have known what work they were going into, these instructors would have gladily given any possible assistance so that they would be masters of their chosen problems. As it is, of the many selections to talk to, tell over their life work with their instructors. The members of the faculty are not to blame, neither are the students. The system itself is the barrier.
The student's initiative is curbed by the present system of large classes. Professor Angel's plans, should they materialize, will be the foundation of a new system of education.
The Kansas City Star in a recent editorial deals with the problem of military training and the schools. The Star evinces much surprise that university students would object to compulsory military training. This great newspaper assures its readers that "students who are required to engage in military training—are asked to do a very reasonable thing."
"MILITARY TRAINING AND THE SCHOOLS"
Not long ago, the Star, along with other newspapers severely condemned German Kultur and Prussianism. One aspect especially conceived was universal military training in Germany. It was pointed out that the influence of the Junkers had forced this militarization of the young upon the masses. Now we find our press defending a condition within our borders which it found occasion to condemn elsewhere. Aside from the position of inconsistency, there is another important consideration. This far, at least, unanimous opinion has yet to favor with the American electorate. Yet our students in colleges where military training is compulsory find that as a part of their higher education, they must accept training in military tactics.
If our students are to be considered as a part of the citizenry of the United States, it would appear that their view is to be considered as a potent force in determining policies which so directly affect them. Men differ honestly as to what will afford a solution to the problem of war, whether it be preparedness or disarmament or pacifism or World Court. If military training has a place in our universities, it would seem that there is no room for compulsion as a penalty for seeking an education. At least, this should be true until we accept universal military training.
INVENT A YELL
INVENT & TELL
The University of Kansas needs some new yells. Many students, pondering the serious question during their sojourn in this institution, have discovered that Kansas is sady lacking when it comes to college yells which are distinctive, melodious, and at the same time accomplish the purpose of pen esthetics.
"Rock Chalk Jay Hawk" in the only war cry of which we can boast that meets all the requisites named as a result it suffers from overwork.
All the rest of the "rain rhyll" nails fall into disgrace at the sound of the Rock Chalk, but is it fair to let it assume the responsibilities of expressing school spirit? Ways does some whileusers organize take a new duty upon itself to justify its existence, by sponsoring a yell-writing contest? It would surely be a help to the school and who knows but what it will discover some unknown genius, at the same time.
ENCOURAGEMENT
It is possible that the uchins of Kansas City who stole scrap iron from the railroad yards and the next day saw their pictures in the Star were very much embarrassed and remorseful over the publicity.
But it is more probable that these lads were affected in just the opposite manner. They were likely filled with pride over the fact that they got their pictures in the paper. A majority of them will more likely have a superiority complex and boast of the matter to their playmates for days and months to come.
This in turn will tend to encourage others of the impressionable age to go and do likewise.
THEY DRIVE RIGHT INTO CUPID'S PARLOR
The Kansas City Star mourns over the criminal ignorance of Olathe:
Neither did it know the story that too often, in recent years, of teenage girls who harmless drama of gay young couples driving up to the court house and into the probate marriage. In, out, and gone again.
