The Prince of Wales went hunting yesterday, but the papers didn't say what for; a soft spot on which to light we presume.
REAL DEBATERS
Kansas possesses real sportsmen on her debating squad. After postponing the debate scheduled for last week, the debaters discovered that the Men's Glee Club had planned its benefit concert in conflict with the new date. The debate was accordingly held this afternoon, so as to leave the Glee Club without competition in the evening.
In its support of the glee club, the debaters have followed in the fontsteps of the rest on the Hill, which is making every effort toward assisting the campaign to raise finances for the New York trip.
MOMENTOUS QUESTIONS
Jayhawker debaters deserve the loyal support of the entire student body.
With good reason our peanut politicians bewail the lack of interest in campus elections and sigh for the good old days when politicians were politicians and not ornaments, but they have an easy time of it compared with the success that their brethren elsewhere are experiencing.
It looks as if there were something rotten in the State of Denmark—or perhaps in politics itself. For some reason the bosses are beginning to find that they can's boss anyone but themselves. Perhaps the trouble lies in the names that the respective parties chose. At Aggeville they call their parties the Seigrads and the Kalakals, which might give cause for mirst among us until we chance to remember that the names of our own parties are not so well founded etymologically.
In the fall elections at K, U. L. last year a total of 1627 votes were cast. Now the news comes that in the spring elections at Agrijeville only 312 votes were cast, while at Nobrebnai a total of 714 decided that the politicians' little spread was worth attending.
It may be that the students are tiring of a political machine founded on "hide and seek" public caucuses, progressive candidates who don't progress and candidates who don't count. Every year the cheerers are growing fainter at the out-of-date torch light parades, reminiscent of the darken days of national politics, and rallies are attended largely by freshmen who wonder what it is all about.
So as the Black Masks readjust their dominoes and the Pacachamacs begin their war dance if most of us just sit back and watch the show because we don't exactly approve of the methods, don't cry, politicians. Suppose you were at Nebraska or Manhattan!
TRYOUTS FOR CHEER- LEADER
Kansas is making one landlady move. The University is beginning to work out a system of competitive tryouts for would-be cheerleaders.
The principal drawbacks of the old system are that opportunities for men to show their abilities are lacking; the student body is unable to know who is best qualified; and the candidates lack training for the job.
step number one was taken at the last basketball game when several men led a few of the old Kansas
yells, but there is a great deal yet to be done before the tryouts will work satisfactorily.
The following is a possible plan. Have the tryouts giving each candidate a chance to lead yells enough before the crowd that he may show his ability. Then have the students vote while they still remember the different abilities displayed. It would probably be best for them to choose two or three at first and let them act as assistant cheerleaders for the remainder of the year. This would afford the students an opportunity to decide which man was most able, and would give the candidate training. From the assistants of one year, the cheerleader of the next might be chosen.
Karvaas has made the start; if it is carried through we shall have a better system.
FRESHMAN REGULATIONS
At the close of the football season freshman regulation were apparently buried deep in objection as an students were concerned. Bu such is not the case in Washington The University of Washington Daily appears with screaming headlines telling of sine kind of rumpus that the yearlings out there have stirred up.
It seems that originally the enforcement of the freshman regulations had been left to the first year, but later the privilege had been taken from them. Now by some ingenious prank with a maint brush they have displayed their superiority over the viiance committee entrusted with the enforcement. To make amends, the Senior Council temporarily gave the responsibility back to the freshmen.
A very striking parallel to the situation is to be found at the University of Kawasan.
Last Fall the Men's Student Council enacted a set of regulations for the express purpose of laying a foundation for a future school spirit. Enforcement by the seniors failed and the freshmen were given their chance. But as yet no results have been forthcoming.
At Washington as well as at Kansas the attempted system seems to have failed because of false hypotheses. A system should be worked out by which the first year students would feel that it is an honor to wear the cap instead of a punishment.
History again and again reveals the fact that compulsion leads to rebellion where amenable resources have been successful. Few are the freshmen who will not admit that there should be some differentiation between them and the older students. It now remains for the legislators of the campus to find some feasible means to carry into effect this differentiation.
"Championship Looms for Kanaan," read a streamer headline in Sunday's Kanaan, which means, we suppose that a course in rug weaving is to be added to the curriculum.
SPEED ON
The gamble is 1 to 20 that you will not be questioned by the courts, and 1 to 43 that you will not be convicted.
In the St. Louis circuit during the past eighteen months, of those who figured in more than three hundred fatal automobile accidents, only 15 were indicted by the grand jury, and only seven were convicted.
Speed on and kill. No need to worry about punishment from the courts.
Speed on. Knock down whomever gets in your way. Then wait for the investigation to find you not guilty—if you are a lucky gambler
The coroner's record for that circuit shows that in 1924, 187 motor car inquests were held. Of these, 148 were held to be accidents. Thirty-nine drivers were given for grand jury investigation. In 1925 the figures were 197 inquests, 133 accident victims and 64 driver bases. To date in 1926, 15 such inquests have been held, 8 accident inquests have been returned and 7 drivers have been held for the grand jury.
The watchword of Baker University has become "Spare the Rod and save the child."
Artists who themselves demonstrate their creation are seldom to be found and frequently are not successful The presentation of "The Admiral" last night on the Liberty Memorial High School stage by its authors, Charles Rams Kennedy and Edith K. Roberts, will allow historians might discern everything but "fact." poets had the right to an idea.
At The Theater
BY AGNES SMITH
Although not an actor, Charles Ram
Kennedy has written several good play
types among his domains. We were
told by a friend that one of the best
of the one he it. It consisted mainly
of a series of pictures which gave the
actors an chances to use the voice of
the character.
Campus Opinion
Edith Wymm Mathisonhomme herself was the high point of interest. It is considered that she uses the best English of any American and her plurification of the English language was amusing to those of us who seldom bear it. She felt for her audience with carefully placed lines. It was delightful when she sang as if her voice shook on a quiet, insignificant bit as well as on points of emphasis. No part however small, was colorless when Edith Wymm Mathisonhomme did it.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Margaret Gage, the third member of the company, was rather overshadowed by a voice which during the performance became ponderous and tiresome. She is a follower—rather a pocket-size edition of her teacher, Edith Wymm Mathison—and not particularly successful.
The absence of elaborate settings, lighting effects, and the clapstup to which the American theater-goer public attends so willingly gave the audience a sense of authenticity and the rare privilege of using their intelligence and imagination.
How many of the students are finding their bank account robbed? A few days ago my bank statement came from one of the Lawrence banks. Among other things a deduction of $50.00 was made on the month of January my bank account was not at all times over $60.00. This deduction was made the first of February but the statement concerning it was not gotten to me till the fifteenth of February. This charge so I am informed is to be made every month and is maintained above $60.00. Such a rate is equivalent to $60.00 per year.
Probably the audience didn't have a "good time." Notwithstanding, there were two things which we appreciated; that one Lawrence audience once stayed in their places until the end of the show, and that they enough about the artists and their personalities to demand their rights to curtain calls. Thank you!
This deduction is unfair in that no official notification of the same has ever reached me. Why don't the bank or banks put up signs in their buildings in regard to the ruling, and give them notice with the situation, as is apparent. Unless that ruling is rescinded my account will go to a bank where there is no such ruling. Think that there are others, who will follow this example, especially when they get their statements, and find themselves in the
Two more chapters of Square and Compass fraternity were installed recently. With those two, one at the University of Tennessee, the other at Marshkill College, Marshall, W. Va., there are at present time 52 chapters. There were 47 at the time of the installation in the Kansas chapter, November, 1924.
The reasons against such a ruling are as follows:
2. It is manifestly unfair to the working students in the city. There will be very few if any who can maintain such a balance. (As a student 100 per cent self supporting I think can speak from experience.)
On Other Hills
This ruling is placing an unnecessary burden on those who can least afford it.
