KANSAS WELCOMES YOU
Robinson gymnasium was a hubbub of excitement all day Friday as the sixteen high school teams fought to survive the first round of the state tournament. More than two hundred high school students of Kansas, players and followers, are in attendance.
We extend the right hand of wel-
come to all attending the tournament.
We want them to feel at home on the
campus. Future years may see them
traversing the same campus as students
of the University.
In welcoming these students, we hope they will catch enough of the atmosphere and spirit of K. U, who they are here that they will want to become one of us. Success to the winner and consolations to the losers.
A KANSAS SPORT
The nineteenth annual Kansas high school basketball tournament will be held in Robinson gymnasium on Friday and Saturday of this week. Kansas high schools play an exceptionally good brand of basketball, and every year there are four or five teams almost on a par, fighting it out for first place.
The claim of the state of Kansas that the best basketball in America is played here, in occasionally disputed by Indiana, but although many a Hoosier is sure he has the proof that his state turns out better captea teams, we Kansas are just as sure that the teams from the Jayhawker state have clearly demonstrated superior ability.
The Kansas record speaks for itself. Twice in the last three years, Kansas high schools have carried off the highest basketball honors in the national tournament in Chicago. It has become a matter of course for the University of Kansas to win the Missouri valley championship. Last year Washburn, a representative Kansas conference team, won the national A. A. U. tournament by heating the Hillarys, a team consisting mainly of Kansas men. The Kansas conference every year has five or six teams that would compare very favorably with any tea min America.
But aside from the question of sectional superiority, the game of basketball is one of the most worth while branches of intercollegiate or interscholastic athletics, and in worthy of the support of every lover of good non-professional athletics. It is a clean, wholesome sport, and is relatively free from the taint of poor sportsmanship and betting. Unlike some highly specialized sports, it is considered a game that has a physical benefit for the players. They are taught first of all clear hard play, and obedience to decisions. It gives the young man none of the best training that it is possible for him to get.
WE MAKE ANOTHER
The simple fact that our golf club and basketball team achieve honors does not indicate K. U. students are content to rest on their laurels. Apparently the impression prevails that a championship is to be awarded the student body for its non-attendance at forums, debates, and other intellectual discourses. We seem in a fair way to winning all awards.
The dearth of students at the many meetings arranged tends to confirm the charge of those who claim that social advantages and increased earning capacity, rather than service to
society, are the main considerations in the choice of a college education. If these be the main incentives to higher education, the right to continued existence of our universities is seriously challenged.
At a university, intellectual interests are presumably primary. The prominence of the interest in far more severely tested when the student's only reward is self-development rather than a grade for the effort. When speakers of national refuge are brought to find an audience, the student is handed a hundred from a student body of more than four thousand, it seriously reflects upon our University as an intellectual center.
The attendance of students at events which are in accord with the fundamental precepts of education in a democracy may be taken as an index to student interest in ideas. If this be true, it indicates something of the disheartening task confronting our faculty. But the fact remains that we are making a record—such as it is.
THE COLLEGE GRADUATE'S EARNING POWER
MID-WESTERN BASKETBALL
The lifetime earnings of the average college graduate are $150,000; the high school graduate earns $78,000; and the mustered labor skilled earn $33,000. This is the estimate of Dean Lord of the Business School of Boston University. Dean Lord is a recognized authority on Child and Labor welfare. He gathered his data from the official records of the Department of Labor, of Massachusetts, and he believes his estimates apply approximately to every man in the United States because Massachusetts has many industries.
The unskilled laborer reaches his maximum earning power at 30 years of age. The high school graduate earns his greatest wage at 40 and the college graduate receives his maximum wage at 20 or 60. Dean Lord considered all those who had not attended college—high school graduates, or unskilled workmen. This group includes Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. The life-wage of the college graduate, in spite of this, as an twieth that of the high school graduate and three and one-third times that of the unskilled laborer. The unskilled workman soon reaches his greatest efficiency, but the college graduate increases in efficiency until his death. The college graduate earns more because he has perspective. He sees and can evaluate what is necessary in industry.
Monday morning some thirty old basketball teams gazed with covetous eyes upon the cup which is emblematic of the National basketball championship, to be given to the winner of the tournament being played in Kansas City, Mo., this week. Among these thirty-two entrées were representatives from the west, the north, the south and the east, in addition to a goodly number from the middle west.
It is interesting to note how these teams fared in the first round of tournament play. Three California teams, the pick of the state, were among the first to fall by the wavies. One of the two representatives from the south took a drubbing, with the other winning by an unfortnightly close score—and so it went.
Some divine providence seems to ordain that these mid-western teams, especially those of the Missouri valley, shall continue to hold the upper hand in the map court sport.
Seniors are busy thinking up excuses to tell the insurance agents for not taking out policies. That is a problem of the graduating class that is listed among the others.
Missouri has a new play to use against Kansas in the Thanksgiving game next fall. It is called the "Hudson fizz." Gwinn Henry, Tiger football mentor, learned his new trick in Columbian last Monday.
What Is Meant by W. S.G.A.
W, S. G. A. stands for "Women's Self Governing Association" and exists for the purpose of fostering among the women students of the University a feeling of mutual responsibility and a high regard for their work in the institution with high standards of life and scholarship; and to promote loyalty to the University.
Students Control Own Affairs
The Women's Self Governing Association has been an organized institution at the University of Kansan since 1910. It is entirely separate in authority from the Men's Student Council, except in that a joint committee of five persons from each council matters of general interest and to make plans concerning Virtues舞班 baked Saturday nights of each week, and the University dancing school conducted throughout the year.
A new system of election has been introduced this year as a compromise between open mass meetings and a nominating committee. At a meeting of the University held early last week the candidates were nominated from the floor, and affixed to it at two teas on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, the election was held Thursday.
The membership of W, S, G, A, is made up of all women students enrolled in the University, and they are represented by a Council to which are clected the most representative women on the campus.
universities and students in India are targets, as they are in America, for educational critics who charge that the schools are not providing education and that the students are superficial and narrow. Sam Higginson, missionary, farmer and teacher in India for the past 22 years, pointed out that a significant number of teachers offday afternoon.
University in India, as in U.S. Serves as Target for Critics Sam Higginbottom Says in Chat
The outgoing president, Katherine Klime, and the vice-president, Jacqueline Stier, expressed their satisfaction Thursday over the success of the election venture. After all, the victory board said that this method will continue to be used in the future, since it gives more individual and personal spirit to the choosing of representatives, a convention of voting with a party.
The university holds a radically different position in the educational system of India than in the United
"A degree to an Indian student in a trade union label," Higginston said. "It has a man a job and that is chief value to him. S salary is also high, the government work and law, are often based upon the scholastic standing of the applicant. So we have such practices as the title: A man applies for a job as a tutor; B, a tutor, who came up for his bachelor of arts degree but failed in the examination. However, the salary of a 'failed B.' A is between that of a B, A, and A. F a first art examination given at the end of the sophomore year."
The council obtains the money to finance W, S, G, A. from a percentage of the funds paid to the University treasurer by each student on enrolling; from a part of the proceeds from the sales made by students' money cleaved on the musical comedy.
The duties of W. S. G. A. as represented by the council comprise: the presenting of a $400 scholarship each month to the students of the University at a tea every Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of developing acquaintance among the women on the campus; entering the campus through the Mothers' Day tea; the planning of a Fashion show, presented in the fall each year; authorizing the musical comedy given every spring; having charge of the close, dumb bell members of the different classes under the direction of the chair representatives to W. S. G. A. and promoting the group system, whereby every gymnast on the campus is kept in close touch with the University.
States, na Higginbottom's descriptor indicates.
"The British government controls education and the university system has the University of London for its prototype. This makes it possible to expand our academic board, before which the students in the colleges of the district—Mohammedan Christian and Houthi—come twice during their four year courses. The unit was initially granted $30,000 each until recently granted $39,000 in one year. But you must remember that the district from which the University of Allahabad draws students in between 225 and 260 thousand students is home to a large population of 135 million people."
What a cause for wiping and wailing and grinding of teeth American students would have under the Indian examination system! This is what Hippobethion said about it:
"All examinations are given by the government. You must subject your credit for the whole course is lost and you must take all of the examination over the next time. Teachers other than those who gave a
The Men's Student.
The University was first established in 1806 and the University of Kansas in 1908-1909, after a thorough investigation of student governments. This council remained in force until 1929 when the body collapsed because of inability to handle the situation of freshman caps and rallies.
The Men's Student Council
A new constitution was made and a new movement organized, under the guidance of Marvin Harmis, Ralph Rodney, J. D. Brandt and E. C. Mcel
Last spring the Men's Student Council was granted special powers by university authorities, including the authority of the board of administration. The results of the special grants of power from the university factory, accordingly, to the authorities.
The purpose of the association is to promote the highest interests of the University of Kansas and to cultivate loyalty among its students, to conserve the ideals and traditions and to co-operate with the governing bodies in all matters within its jurisdiction and to be the official governing body for the men students of the University.
An advisory committee of three members appointed by the Chancellor from the University Senate shall adhere to the Council in all matters of student concern.
The members of the council must have conformed to the scholarship eligibility and must be equally enrolled in the course. In most cases they prevail to the time of election. Regular elections are held on the first Thursday after the first Monday in April of each year. All members of the Association may

course prepare the examinations for that course."
A consolation for the stiff examinations lies in the fact that only two of them are normally given during a course of four years. One is given at the end of the sophomore year; the other at the end of the senior year. Examination time for Indian students evidently is a time of storm and turmoil, from the coffee office and early morning vignettes of the American colleges.
"There is a great deal of worry at examination time. Passing the examination means so much to students that they often resort to all kinds of cheating and cibbling. However, it is not easy to get away by saying, 'It is written, it is written,' That is, it is ordained by the divine powers that the student fail."
The most disastrous effect of the examination system, however, Hipgibbon point out, is the effect upon students who are three to four years in the
colleagues who are working for love and genuine desire for knowledge, any more than in America. They are working to pass the examination and by that means secure an honorable position."
Mr. Higginbottom was asked what kind of subjects Indian students took. "Two subjects are compulsory; English and a classical language. If you take only one, the classical language will be either Persian or Arabic; if he is a Hindu it will be a Hindu language or Sanskrit. The other two subjects are elective and man be mathematics, economics, math, geography, philosophy, and other subjects."
In one respect, however, the average Indian student is unintelligible to the American university students. These subjects as a part of a university program. A school of business in most universities or colleges would have
"But if the Indian student is not interested in getting a commercial training out of his higher education, as American student are, and if he is not any more of a school than they, he would be obligated to "Mr. Higginsbottom was asked."
His reply was simple: "A job with not too long hours, with comfortable pay, fairly easy work, and a pension he can enjoy. He can retire to his house and his garden and live happily with few caves. The Indian people are at the stage of development."
Asked of the position of athletics in the schools of India, Mr. Hignoblottum revealed the startling—to American youth—bit of information he had and were engaged in by most students, no admission price was charged for interscholastic contests. Moreover such things as stadiums are unthought of, as is the bonding that if a spectator is really interested he will not mind standup.
"It is not the British government, but the religious beliefs of the Indian people that is causing the extremist Islamists to declare Sam Hignbottom in his talk on "The Gospel and the Plow in India," at the all-University convo-
Every right-thinking man today believes in religious tolerance, but when religious beliefs are the cause of great economic losses, which result in human suffering, he causes to believe," continued Mr. Higginbottom. In 2013, a study by the India were fast exhausting the food supply, and since the Hindu believes in the transmigration of souls, he cannot allow himself to kill any animal, for four of the soul which may have taken refuge in its body after death. It is estimated that here are ten field tails to every acre of land under cultivation, and from two to farce million dollars' worth of food each year.
"The price that India pays for letting her religion interfere with her economic conditions is to be the poorest country on earth."
Wardell Is Elected Head of W. S. G.A. for Coming Year
Party Lines Discontinued in Women's Politics, According to Dean
"It is quite obvious that the old political parties are well broken up," said Denna Agnes Husband in speaking of the women's election yesterday. "The mixed bishops indicated that the candidates rather than for any party affiliations." There were only a few more than four hundred votes cast this year compared with neven hundred last year. "There was no one telling the women that they had to come out and vote, so we must learn to think for themselves in this matter as they do in any other." Denna Husband also said that she approved of the quintessence about the polls, and that the elections were not too democratic. "There was no electioneing, and the candidates attended classes as usual.
