Entered as preprenant, mall matter teacher in the State of New York, upon the enactment of March 15, 1903, Katon, under the act of March 15, 1903, and on Sunday morning by students in the state of New York to attend a lecture in the city of Katon, from the Press of the Impartments of Katon.
PERSEVERANCE
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1920
Tomorrow the Kansas basketball squad goes south. Upon the results of this trip probably hinge the Jayhawker team's chance of winning the valley title, its chance to show the world in general that it is made up of the same type of sportspersons that eleven men who, facing apparently unsurmountable odds, turned back the Tiger in that game that will be indelibly written into Jayhawker history.
Twice during the earlier part of the season the Crimson fife faltered. Things looked dark, even to the most optimistic. Then, just when the skeptics were expecting them to break and finish in the ruck, they turned upon their opponents and have won nine consecutive games.
For a team attempting to emulate predecessors who for four years have finished the season at the top, two set-backs at the beginning were doubly hard upon its morb, but it persevered and is now in second place.
KEEP THE TRADITION
Friday Oklahoma A. and M. Saturday Oklahoma U. May Jayhawk perseverance bring a fitting reward
The gun went off, there was a quick bustle, and in an instant the floor of the gymnasium was filled with people elbowing each other; as they put on their coats, and made a hasty scramble for the door. The few hundred voices that joined in the Alma Mater and the Rock Chalk could hardly be heard above the hubbub.
At the next game let's all join it,
the Alma Mater and Rock Chalk be-
fore leaving the gymnasium. Let's
keep the old tradition alive.
To an old grad at the game the incident was a reflection on the Kansas spirit. The song and yell have become traditional climaxes to athletic contests, and are a vital part of this spirit.
This was the way the crowd beaved at the last basketball game. In the rush after the final gun, the majority of the students completely forgot the old song and yell.
BALL
POPULARITY OF BASKETBALL
"The growth of basketball in the past few years," says Collier's magazine, "has been phenomenal. It was only about thirty-five years ago that some far-sighted dreamer in the Springfield Training School at Springfield, Mass., hung up two baskets at the opposite ends of a gymnasium."
In the following paragraphs, Collier's sums up the popularity of basketball and properly terms it winters' greatest game and the greatest indoor game.
It was Dr. James Naishtm, at present a member of the Kansas department of physical education, who is responsible for the first games of basketball played. And with him, to Kansas and the middlewest seems to have shifted the basketball center of America, regardless of the fact that Collie's fails to take any teams on this section into consideration in their article, but confines their comment to Indiana and "Big Ten" phases of the game.
It is doubtful if anywhere in the United States is a faster brand of basketball played right here in the Missouri Valley, and centering
round the two states of Kansas and Missouri. In defense of this statement it is in only necessary to point to the fact that last year's National Amateur Athletic Union title went to Washburn college at Topeka. For the past four years, University of Kansas teams have finished the season in first place, three out of four years having occupied the top position undipended, and now are contenders for the fifth consecutive season. In high school circles, two national intercollegiate titles have gone to teams from the Jayhawk state, Kansas City, Kan., having won in 1923, and Wichita in 1925.
Practically the most competitive basketball title for which teams of Missouri Valley territory are eligible are wild by team in this region.
Little did the inventor of this game dream, far-sighted in be a veil of the thousands of persons who would play at the sport and be entertained by it now. And quite fittingly the visibility and institution with which he is connected is at the present time leader in this activity.
DOES "K-ANSAS F-AVOR K-ANSAS U-NIVERSITY"?
One of the University broadcasting station's suggested slagms, rather fitting because its initial letters are identical with its call letters, is "Kansas Favors Kansas University." After tuning in on a few of KKUUs programs, we wonders if the people of the state look kindly upon the project of the University in installing its radio station, or more particularly, upon the policy under which programs are being arranged.
The Chancellor's committee on radio operation should realize that the people of the state may not enjoy listening to veritable dictionaries of words, words, words, right after night, when many other entertaining things are on the air. We doubt that 200 persons listen to the whole of every program, if indeed the number is large. Other stations receive communications from a thousand or more listeners daily.
Few people will listen to a dry fifteen-minute talk when announcement, rest and recreation are sought. They can read the encyclopedia for facts whenever they want theoretical knowledge and can get first-hand information when they want practical knowledge. The Kunnans chief complaint at station KFKU, however, is that the students are not allowed to participate in broadcasting except for certain chosen ones who happen to be enrolled in the School of Fine Arts. That school no doubt turns out a fine array of musical ability, but not all of the talent on the Hill may be found in that department.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
Yesterday's Kauan was kind enough to put me on a level with Dr. Anna Strong, Str. Francis of Assisi, an esteemed association, and to make my article in the Dove, "The Very Sour Owl," the subject of an editorial, thereby giving me some unexpected advertisements that knows nothing of principles evidently has penetrated the hide of some editorial writer—possibly even of the editor-in-chief, although that would be hardest for him for which I dread hardly hope.
With its usual paintpoint accuracy, the Kansan declares that the "cause" of my outburst was the Owls's "poisoning" from the obvious fact that the contest was for women only, it was not the cause of the outburst at all, but merely its occasion—though the satire is more explicit in this distinction. No doubt he thinks (or, more correctly, believes) that it was the deception of our co-eds that called forth the statement to which he objects. But then, an editorial-writer
After thus beginning with a wrong premise, the editorial carefully proceeds to avoid the issue by calling attention to its own errors and that "the organization which published it (the Sour Owl) admits that the supervision was not close enough." If this is intended to vindicate the superiority of the organization's goes about it in a peculiar way—namely, by concealing that in order to be kept deprived it requires close attention to the Kanaan unwittingly afferent the truth of my statement, but likewise in the passage where, speaking of the Owl, it chains to have been "among the first to condemn it as not representative of Hill humor." There you have it: the Kanan's disapproval is burden upon the chisef of the matter, but simply the word school represents the school—whose student body, by the way, it does represent pretty accurately. But as to recognizing any principles concerned in the case, the Kanan is quite blind. In fact, with typical logic, it calls the assertion that the popularity context was unintended or proposition that was wrong on its own merits with thoughtful识

Last week it was worked out that plan could be worked, simply and efficiently. For R. T's benefit, we ball attempt to outline its works.
First, the establishment of a University convention system, to take the place of the present secret circle method of nomination.
I. T. and his fellow advocates will undoubtedly say, "But how will that happen?" It will be hard to tell; it will break down the old party lines to the extent that there will be some elections will turn out. In other words, you cannot yet hope for a complete election, but we can hope for a modification—one which is practical.
Let us take an example. Suppose R. T. and any number of other candidates were selected for president, in which case the delegates would narrow the

Fourth, the institution of the group system for men of the University, to enable each and all of the campus to be represented.
At the present time less than five per cent of the student body is represented in the secret circles and Black Mask. The matter of nominating candidates is merely a question of interest, but it will Hill to agree to support the platforms of the particular party and, if elected, to do their best to further the party's agenda. The selection of candidates consists entirely of a juggling of names in an inner circle of the party organizers, who are expected to those names until three or four days before election. Then they come forth with half-paper advertisements in the Kansan and printed handbills, in which the qualifications of the canvassors are shown.
LECTURD will be a meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in room 206, Marvin at 7:50 Thursday evening. Prof. Goldwin Goldin will give an illustrated talk on architecture that will be of special interest to electrical engineers. KENNETH KREIBHL, president.
Of the editorial's consistency nothing need be said to hold in one breath that irony and sarcasm are poor weapons (disregarding the fact that they are the best), and using them with the general tone of the editorial.

The Kanzan office tries to get its cheating boss to at least one of its readers, a senior executive in the company, made not was the innestive contact, which would have been critical to call for comment, particularly after the rather unnecessary fixing of a mind hall maze that Kanzan said would vault the Kanzan still demands to regard
Answering R. T, You Please!

is pretty good. Why give it up?
The writer of this book is curious to cribita now comes forward with a defense of his stand.
In the first place, R. T, you made sure we were made in the countryside of last week, favoring a change in the political situation at the University of Kansas. To sum up these points briefly, we advocate:
I would like to see the Men's Student Council put across a bill, organizing the men of the University about of about thirty or forty men, and a ten per cent representation could be given to the university convention. At this convention, at which a temporary chairman shall be appointed, nominations of candidate for the various offices should be made from more than two, should be nominated for each office. Then and there, the men of the University should nominate and narrow the field down to three or two, leaving that number for the entire student body.
field down to two men, R. T, and X. Y. These two names would go to the two men who appear on the ballot for the senate position, given president. No party affiliations, you understand it might be that both men were former political parties. Even if one were a former factional and another group sponsoring the two candidates would have access to the rest of the field for votes. If the men were partied with one another, the issues were practically even, and parties abolished, it would be safe to go to the polls solid for one man. For instance, R. Y. The personal choice. Why should he not would not follow others in the house who wanted to vote for X. Y., their choice. Why should he not president again by voting straight—P. F. J.
