WANING ENTHUSIASM
Those who attended convocations this week passed the word along to others, who for good or indifferent reasons failed to attend, of the great value they received from the lectures of Dr. Albert P. Fitch.
The Religious Week drive is creating enthusiasm, and all those who crowded into Robinson gymnasium came out imbued with the spirit of the meetings.
Last year it was the same, Dr. Sherwood Eddy was the speaker and all to hear him the first day went back to hear him again, and took others along. There has been more deep thinking on religious matters during these meetings than during all the rest of the school year.
There is the point. As the days go on, the influence of the meetings begins to die out, first rather gradually, then more rapidly, and three weeks after the speaker has gone, the regular "bull sessions" again take up their discussion of women, sex, and "wild life." The only tangible evidence of good coming out of last year's drive was the establishment of the K. U. liberal forum. What has become of it now?
Of course there is benefit in such meetings if they impire students to think about the individual and campus life for even a short time, but the fault is that they seem to go no further. Is there anything that can be done to keep the spirit of this week alive throughout the year? If so, there is a real chance to materially benefit the University.
HURRAH FOR POLITICS
Smiles are beginning to wreath the countenances of the prospective candidates as they move over the campus wringing the hands of students who, they have suddenly discovered, are very dear friends. In cohexby atties the "husses" are meeting in dark secrecy to determine just which fraternity is to be favored by having one of its members hold this or that empty office. Carefully they "compare the qualifications" and teach the "candidates to count."
The peanut politicians of the campaise are beginning to arise from their lethargy, and the state of coma in which progressive candidates have lain since the last election is being broken. The mud is being moistened and kneeded into a usable state and soon the Hill will be in the full swing of the campaign.
The superintendent of buildings and grounds will soon be hiring a new corps of men to take care of the litter of cards that will cover the campus. We shall have a torch light parade, several rallies, finally an election and then leargery again Oh, you politicians, you just will have your fun.
WHAT DO COURTS GIVE UST
When a man takes a grievance in court, for settlement he always goes with high hopes of a rapid settlement and a just decision. But too often, he gets any kind of a settlement at all, it comes too late to do any good
Collier's magazine makes this point clear and cites what is probably the most just and quickest decision ever given—Solomon's settlement of the claim of two women to one baby.
Solomon, instead of going through a routine of detail and dragging the case out several months, simply de-
chaired, "Divide the living child and given each woman half." As was natural the woman who won the baby would have been alone. The child rather than have it killed.
But much rapid settlements do not seem possible today. The case must he introduced into the proper court, and an endless amount of What Collier's terms "legal nonseize" must be gone through with. Then there is always the chance for appeal, and possibly after many months, the party who introduced the case will be just where he started.
Instead of bewailing the great amount of crime and the house enforcement of law, let us look to our courts and try to make it possible to carry a case through to a just decision without involving so many technicalities that the agencies of enforcement lose ground rather than make headway in their efforts.
HICKS
Judging from the action of the audiences at the concerts held in Robinson gymnastium this year most of the people audience remember about the time that the last number on the program starts that they have left the water running or the electric iron going at home. At least there is a grand shuffle and a disturbance as many make rapid exits.
Perhaps they are accustomed to attending vandalie shows where the management always presents a jagging act or an animal stunt for the closing number in order that departures may not cause too much discomfiture to interested spectators.
Frequently the manager shows a preference for aerial nets as finales, reasoning that those who are no courtroom as to remain seated until the end of the performance deserve to end some fragments of the last act by a new leader or head of those who value their time so highly that they are forced to rush for the exit before the final curtain. Hence the aerial net.
Artists who appear on the local concert course are acutely trained to more courteous treatment than they receive from University students. Sometimes we act like just plain helix.
Editorials From Other Hills
The Haman Touch
"But of greater value to the student intending to enter business than the scholastic knowledge he obtains at university are the associations he forms. The broadening influence of science on different interests and from different states gives him an outlook on life and a knowledge of the other follows problems that is of invaluable use to him in his business life." recently said the head of one of the department stores in America.
Many elements in college life that we are prone either to overlook or else to take a matter of course are of value, and not the beast are often of value. We are also prone to overlook or to take a matter of course are not so valuable. We find the self-critical feels the weight of his great intellect and the burden of being a missionary of efficiency to the world at large. How efficient this type of person really is remains to be demonstrated by the need to make a dent in the crust of big business. Frequently the answer is such as to hewlerb and humble the one who has herhevrel regarded the master's wister and life as a uncked orange.
It has been said that few men come to college with the central idea of getting an education; but they usually get it just the same for education. However, a man can't become educated by doing only one thing, he is athletics or classroom work, be it mathematics, biology or English. The road of life is strenued with the remains of men who were successors to the traveller who, crossing the desert, falls on the way because, outfitted in every other respect in the most complete manner, he neglected to wear a sun helmet, is the man who deserts himself during his desert traveler, outfitted in the most complete manner in all the paraphernalia of his profession, he yet neglected the human contact so essential. He came to college for an art degree. The college man of today is too much of an individualist, of an egoist.
fe is too selfish, too much wrapper in him himself and in his own group. We have faculty fraternities instead of university fraternities, sectional clubs instead of cosmetophone clubs, and courses in the warehouse taking courses and engaging in certain activities that point towards a certain goal, and acting inside all subjects and interests that do not directly point towards that goal. If it does, we can attribute to the realization of our ambition to be sporting editor of a newspaper, or a five and ten cent magazine, or a preacher we say it is no good. Because we sell bonds or real estate without a knowledge of Greek mathematics, we must more bonds and real estate if we did know Greek. Many a course that has no apparent practical value may be of great value as a stimulant of individual thinking. It is the big visioned man, the intelligent and mathematic knowledge of the other fellow's affairs that are the world leaders.
Thomas Wilfred, in a Cahavil restful last night, fascinated his audience with the short, infinitable colors, the fantastic, exotic casts, the peaceful driving scenes and the precise piece cut into a specially erected silver screen. Mr. Wilfred explained that form and motion were the most important elements of his art; yet it appened it was the glowing, radiant, eternally beautiful colors of the naked woman. This detail most appended to the lay lujencies; colors that paled and deepened, that merged and faded and once more rose to new intensities and depths. "The light that never was on land or water," he wrote, "moved me auricular, more strange, more beautiful."
At the Concert BY RUTH LAWLESS
--it is lots of fun for one who knows,
that spring will soon be here and with
it will come the weather and we and we will make our developing snow
Thundering Snowstorms Turn Out Just as Cold
Most popular of all selections with the audience was "The Ocean." Foamed-crested breakers rose and surged heedlessly as the water rippled in a white path of moonlight; a lurid, prowessive sunrise cast an omnibus glow upon green, lapping water from the Mediterranean blue stretched into infinite distance. In color, form and motion, it was a amazing realistic replica of the ocean in all its varying colors.
"A Fairy Tale of the Orient" offered to the greatest mystic appeal. It was a magnificent medley of rich, Oriental colors, proseque, futuristic shapes and forms, intriguing movements. It was a breathtaking abstract and the realistic; familiar scenes from the Arabian Nights were subtly suggested, yet were impressionistic enough that the spectator could delimitate his own characters, Simdhar silver, slim ship sailed on a sandy beach, a futuristic conjoined with transparent spheres of crystal, and bent above values of porphyry and chrisopheus. Fairy-tale princesses in rainbow garments moved gracefully; zithiophan swayed more gorgeously; another rather famer spinning apples. It was indefinably, breathtically beautiful.
The vivid colors rivaled the brush of Parrish; the abstract, cubic figures surpassed the exotic designs of Baket. All in all the art was a curious combination of painting and music, of an aging master and the abstract, spiritual quality of the greatest symphony.
"Chicago Nocturne" was an impressionistic study composed of a bridge spanning a dark-flowing river, a single red-danger-light in the distance, slender beams of light from the Trilome building, an encompassing all, the night sky of Chicago, with the dominant majesty of midnight.
Of the abstract selections, perhaps "Triangular Etatue" was most unusual. The theme of the number was replayed over and over; the numbers expanded and dwindled, faded and glaomed, against a constant background of revolving, vertical blue and green.
Crunch—crunch—stamp—stamp—
flashes of lightening and a now roll of
boucher, intermingled with a high-tech
notebook and a sounded tone and sights that
are greeting class-bound and snow-
bound students today. Winter seems to
be bouring its last defence at the
coming spring and surprised in this
snowy environment. Sliding cars as well as sliding
students seem to be the order of the day,
for the streets are thickly coated with
thick, slinky snow and ice, and most
of them are covered in snow crawling on their way.
But these students who possess cars
think themselves mighty lucky for they are at least warm and keep the occupants from the searching wind, and if they catch fish they had friends to pick them up.
Late classes—perhaps a few falls—cold feet and fingers—but in the end

MEN'S GLEE CLUB:
Faithful Practice and Training Demanded of Glee Club Singers as Well as of Athletic Teams
OLEV OLLER is a poet theatre at 7:00 p.m. k in room 10, central Administration building, instead of in the auditorium of the Engineering building.
Proper diction means watching every syllable of every word to see that the connection is distinct, that the meaning is clear. The final consonants are pronounced. The men have to guard infection, "saying," and downward infection, "saying." But the men say.
There is on the campus, an organization that must be as faithful in practice, that must keep in an perfect physical condition, and that requires an exerting deviation from its members as any athletic team. This organization is the Moor's Glee Club, which will represent the University of March 6 in a national contest, against the large universities of the East, before thousands of people n New York City.
PL SIGMA ALPHA:
The club regularly holds rehearsals twice each week. Since the beginning of the present semester, the club has practiced every night. The men stand up during rehearsals and are discussing the points wherein they can improve their work. Such intensive practice is exhancing physically and mentally.
Tone quality must be smooth, rich and full. The tendency to "blat," that is, to sing openly in the loud parts must be eliminated.

Perfect encapsule can be secured only if every man vantece the movements of the director and obeys automatically. The iron must attack and release simultaneously, and pay attention to shadows, and he will easily recognized, and the unimportant parts not overcuminized.
All the voices must blend if the club is to rank high with the judges. The hearer should not be able to pick out any individual voice, except in incidental solos, which, however, are barred in contest numbers.
The interpretation depends a great deal upon the director. He must bring out each part and cach voice, and assure the proper balance between the parts. The Kansas club has advanced much in interpretation during the last semester. Men who sang with the club last year in the "Lamp in the West," noticed at once the improvement of the Welkins contest, over the way in which it was sung by the club last year.
Every member must listen to see that the club does not get slightly off pitch. There are several men in the club who notice my deviation at once and raise or lower their tone in a shuffle, so the others back to the proper pitch.
The outstanding feature of glee club work is united effort. There is no chance for a "Red Grange" on this team. The club must sing as if we were a great organ, serving only the will of him who plays it.
