MONDAY, MARCH 1, 1923
Entered as second-class mail master September 28, 1945. Born in Tokyo, Japan, under the art of March 3, 1907. Received his degree on Sunday morning by students in the University of Kansas, from the Faculty of the Department of Commerce, at Kansas.
WHERE'S THE FIRE?
At the crack of the revolver at the close of the basketball game Saturday the great handicap race for the door started as usual. About nineteenth of the crowd began elbowing and pushing its way out carrying with it the loyal few who would have like to follow the old custom of singing The Crimson and The Blue.
There has only been once this year that this did not occur. That was at the Kansas-Missouri football game, when instead of a mad dash for the gates the stands and field were filled with a howling, cheering mob. The only trouble then was in getting them quiet enough for the Crimson and Blue. The Rock Chalk that rolled away from the stadium that day will live in the memory of many a student after he has gone from K. U.
If you will watch after the game tonight you will see that the first to leave edge up to the door with a sneaking look on their faces. At first they pretend that they are only getting nearer to the door and not actually preparing to leave, but finally they rush out and the others, emboldened by the start, follow until soon even the cheer leader is almost swept along with the title of students that are too busy even to pay this
Is all this haste necessary? The only object seems to be to get on the outside, for once there a number of students inalter about and seem to be in no great hurry to leave the campus. It cannot be from disrespect for Kansas traditions or for the team who have given not only a few minutes, but weeks and months of their time in order that the name of Kansas may be respected, K. U. is immensely proud of her team. It must be thoughtlessness.
There is one more chance tonight when the Jayhawk meets the Wildcat from Aggieville. From all indications Kansas is due to finish with a victory. The gods wouldn't be so unkind to his children as to cast us in the role of losers. Then when that game is over and the Jayhawk has assumed his traditional place at the top of basketball, let's offer that final tribute to the team and Kansas. Let's sing The Crismon and The Blue and speed the fleeing Wildcat with a real Rock Chalk. And for those who will rush out, let us hide their shame even from ourselves. If an alumnus or an Aggie root asks where they are going, tell him they are going to a fire.
THE GROUP SYSTEM
For years students in the University have bewailed the fact that in one of the 10 groups into which the College work is divided are bunched four of the most important departments, with the provisio. "Thou shuil not take more than 40 hours in this group unless your major be here."
In this group are found the departments of political science, economics history and sociology, in which approximately 70 classes are open each semester. Another group is occupied only by Latin and Greek, with only 14 classes offered each semester.
Any student seeking a liberal college education naturally feels the need of several hours each of history, political science, economics and sociology. But under the present group system, unless he is a major in one of these departments he is left to want in vain. He must leave the
University at the end of his four years with a vague knowledge of history, a general idea of political science and only a smattering of economics and sociology. And all because the group system happened to be arranged that way.
Anyone who is questioned on the matter admin frantically that it is very unsatisfactory to have four of the important departments all in one group, with such a narrow limitation on the number of hours a student may receive from one group. No one seems to know why so much work is crowded into this one group. But thus it is, and thus it remains year in and year out.
Students by the scores bid n food farewell to their Alma Mater each year, closed on, not by the fact that they have obtained a liberal education, but by the fact that they complied with the group system and received the coveted sheepkin.
FANS SHOULD NOT OFFICIATE
Missouri basketball fans disapprove of E. C. Quigley's officiating, according to the Columbia Missourian.
The occasion for the Tiger outburst was the Missouri-Kansas game in which thirteen fouls were called against Missouri to six on Kansas. After about thirty minutes of play Channon, Missouri, "drew a pair of fouls and the crowd another" for reproving the referee for his decision.
The reason for the protest seems to be Quigley's repeated penalizing of the crowd for trying to help officiate in several zanes.
Kansas fan approve of E. C. Quireg's work as seen here. He have the attitude that the home crowd is against him. According to "Ploo" Allen, this may be explained by the fact that he is an official in the big leagues in which the crowed actually is against any official.
The first of this season the Kansas crowd acquired the habit of making known its opinion of the official's decisions. One of Quigley's rulings looked unfair to the crowd and they told him about it rather emphatically. They paid the price, but they were fair enough to admit that they had broken the rules of good sportsmanship and they respected Quigley for imposing the penalty.
The fans should root for the team, but they should not carry their enthusiasm so far that they "razz" the referee when he decides in favor of the other team. Kansas roots were lucky that their bit of bad sportsmanship did not come at a critical time. May fans keep on respecting the referees' decisions, not alone from fear of being penalized at a critical time, but also for the sake of being true to the best ideals of sportsmanship.
AIDING THE CRIMINAL
According to Lawrence Veiller, writing in the World's Work, crime is receiving a distinct aid in the growth of the parole system. He says that if all criminals were tried, convicted and sentenced promptly, and that if all avenues of escape were closed, crime would flourish because of the inquisitions parole system. There are three forces back of the system that have encouraged its growth; the approval of it by organized crime; the desire of penal authorities to save themselves the trouble of keeping order in an unruly group of men; and the well meaning efforts of organized sentimentals. There have been abuses of the system in many states, but a recent incident in New York emphasizes the fact. A young convict was paroled and shortly after his release he shot and killed two policemen. He was a professional criminal, a man of desperate character, often held by the police. Why should such a man be turned loose upon society?
Even where the law罚 parole, the prisoner may receive a pardon from a soft hearted governor or may receive a "trusty" job under pleasant surroundings outside the prison wall.
Indeed, it would not be strange if those who are officially responsible for combating crime would become discouraged in face of the existing conditions. With such assistance, is it surprising that crime continues to increase?
Washington Cursed Generals for Treason and Ambuscade; He Was Liked by All Soldiers
"General Washington swore only twice, and he had good reason for doing it," it was the comment of Prof. F. H. Holder of the department of history, in regard to the attacks of Rupert Hughes on Washington's character. One time it was for tensions of General Chase at the time of his arrest, when it was General St. Clair's ambuscade, against Washington's warning.
"The attack upon Washington for cursing is unjustified. You cannot say that a man always because he
uses prufinity twice on each occasion." Professor Hodder said, in summary: "One the other hand, the professor agreed that Washington drank liquor "but every gentleman drank then. Every gentleman had his wine or coffee."
Speaking in regard to other criticisms of Washington the professor stated that there was little doubt but he believed the common soldiers. The fact that they followed him after continuous defeat proves the fact. On the other hand, Washington cannot be clashed with President Obama. Professor Hodder, obtained social position through marriage, while Washington inherited it. Washington, however, inherited very little of his forfeiture, obtained most of it through marriage.
BREAKING INTO THE BIG LEAGUE
Saturday night the Glee Club of the University of Kansas will represent this district in company which personifies the best in culture that is represented in America. Contrary to the popular conception of a college glee club, the Kansas club is an organization which sings the better class of music. It does not go in for operatic numbers of the more abstract type, but it does sing music which is worth while and which has some value.
In representing Kansas in New York, the club will carry a message of prairie culture to the self-satisfied East which will tell it things it is not in the habit of associating with East. In basketball championships the East has heard of Kansas many times. Track and field sports, stories of Jayhawker fonts have appeared in newsletters on several occasions.
The principal of equal rights for men has been established at the University of California. Prof. I. B. Cross recently expounded annoyance at the time taken from studies by feminine students powdering their noses, that she and others have equal rights if they desired them. Two men appeared in the same class
Heretofore, however, the name and fame of Kansas have relied wholly upon attainments distinctly outside the rolin of the fine arts. Kansas opens a new chapter in her history when she sends 35 musician representatives to prove to the East that granchoppers and cyclones are not her only chims to fame.
On Other Hills
At a recent election at the University of Oklahoma an amendment was passed which is expected to eliminate politics from College publications. The publication board will be made up of members and news managers of college publications will be elected by the board instead of by popular vote.
That the Bible is able to stand the test of fire was proved recently at the University of Missouri when a fire broke out in the Y, M, C, A. building. One student, while going through the ruins of his room, found that his Bible was the only book left undamaged.
A Daddy Long Leg Club has been organized at Ohio State University for the purpose of asserting the rights of the downrodden men of an elongate stature. The only qualification for membership is that the applicant be six feet tall.
Seven fraternities at Ames remain undefeated in the interfraternity billiard most conducted by the Y. M. C. Club and the IU College. In the two final matches will be 500.
Eskimo college boys who are working for the degree of Bachelor of Herders must spend four years in college. To qualify, they must have a hard of reindeer before they can be graduated. They get with their certifications and receive a Bachelor with UniDee Sains's compliments.
Washington could not come down among the common man as could Lincoln. Nevertheless, Washington commanded the piebble's respect and obedience. The fact that Washington was an aristocrat and did not believe in modern democracy is not unusual, but he believed in modern democracy them."
Even the poorer classes did not believe in it. However, they chose the aristocratic Washington for their college education and a good one, according to Professor Hodder, French and German military critics rank Washington as one of the greatest military generals, despite the fact that he had few big military on-roads.
The fact that Washington was chosen commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary army was more of a compromise to牵引 Virginia for the Revolutionary side. Otherwise the sympathy with England was stronger and the American edge of Cavaliers' distance from the North, and its large plantations.
"Washington himself would naturally have been on the side of England," Professor Hodder said. "He was the richest man in Amerien, his family was English, and he was gun of the aristocracy." Bradsack's ill treatment of the colonists that turned Washington for the Revolutionary cause."
and when Professor Clark began his lecture, they took out shaved materials and lathered and shaved. Professor Cross led the appliance, saying if they would give their names he could not recognize them through the latter—he would give them a grade of A for the term.
For the first time in a century, Yale undergraduates, with the exception of freshmen, are to be relieved from the compulsion of attending chapel daily. This came as the result of so great an increase in the number of upperclassmen that Brittle chapel would no longer accommodate them.
Architects have been selected to draw up plans for the proposed student union building at the University of Washington. Agitation for the building campaign began immediately after a series of protests when the stadium delta was piked. The university is at present without a student center.
At the recent anniversary celebration of Hays Teachers College, one of the faculties exhibited a first repose of 30 feet long and as big around as a barrel. The animal was made of canes, barrel hoops and paint. It was a burrow on the rooftops which in eastern Kansas millions of years ago.
Photographs of the annual staff and the O'Collegian staff, which will appear in the Redskin, Oklahoma Agrees' yearbook, were taken in the respective offices of the publications with each member at work.
Students of the University of Wisconsin may go to the building of the dairy school at any time during the spring semester or during a buttermilk as they desire free.
