THE PRICE OF PEP
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1925
Another item in the high cost of living is the price of pep. It costs around $200 a year for this indispensible article at the University of Kansas. This estimate is based on the recent and contemplated expenditures of the athletic association, the two student councils and the student enterprise fund in sending the Ku Kus and the Jay James to the Nebraska and Oklahoma games.
The athletic association is hearing the brunt of the expenses it paid the railroad fare of the Ku Kus to Lincoln and it gave the Jay Kus $100 for the trip. Evidently the athletic association does not consider the price of pep exorbitant. But the association is not paying all of the charges. The students are paying $275 in order that the pep organizations may attend out-of-town games. The W. S. G. A. voted $100 to the Jay Kans, the Men's Student, Council is advancing the Ku Kus $75 for the trip to Oklahoma, and the student enterprise fund has given $100, one half of this amount going to each organization.
Assuming that the athletic association has a right to spend its money it sees fit the question then becomes: should the student body pay out its money to see that the pop organizations get out of town games? The Kavan is not going to try to answer this question now. It conneces its work to be to point out as clearly as possible the course that school life is taking, treating all phases of that life fearlessly and impartially. We shall present what we think are some of the factors involved in the setting of the price for our whidle. The judgment of this price we leave to the student body.
At out-of-town games they also put on a stunt. Probably, however, the most important work performed abroad is done by their uniform, for they serve as representatives for the thousands of Kansans back home. Activities in connection with athletics is the most important but not the sole work of the organizations. The Jay James especially perform such services as acting as guides around the campus to visiting bankers, and selling Christmas candles, Jayhawkers and relay tickets. Such are the activities for which we are paying $275.
The first point to be considered is, of course, the actual work of the organizations. At a home game they put on a stunt between halls, soll programs, the receipts for which, by the way, go to the athletic association, and do their share of the cheering. The Ku Kus likewise contribute to the color and life of pre-game penn rallies.
Not only is the question of price involved. A principle must be considered in answering the question whether or not these organizations are representative enough in their nature to be the recipients of student money in preference to other organizations. Membership in them is partly a matter of organization representation and partly of selection by present members. Thus the two organizations are not open to one and all on the basis of competitive tryouts as are the hand, the dramatic club, the glee clubs and the athlete teams themselves, all of which receive money from the student enterprise fund. Moreover, while the band makes trips with the team, its expenses are beorne by the athletic association.
Lact and fundamental is the question: do we believe that newdays a uniformed pep organization as an essential to representing the school abroad as the team and the 'band'? If so it only remains for us to lock away every effort of our pep organizations. We are apparently entering into a new day in college athletics, a day of million dollar stadiums, large gate receipts, highly-paid coaches and official pep organizations. This character seems to be in line with the trend of American life towards production on a large scale.
One Kansas rooter yelled no long and loudly at the Nebraska game at Lincoln that when he returned home he had to exchange his size 14 shirts for size 15.
MAC'S BAND
One of the most active and essential factors in University life, yet one which receives but little recognition, is the K. U. Band. Students should consider what a large share it contributes to the life of our school, but its members get very little in return for the unselfish service which they render. No estimate is made of the time and effort and the many sacrifices which its loyal members are willing to undergo that the University may be fittingly represented in all occasions.
What would K. U. spirit be if there were no band to stimulate and arouse it? And what would happen at athletic contexts if there were no music of our own to spur us on in defeat or to cheer us in victory? Imagine a conversation or a rally without a band, or a parade or commencement. It is an institution of which we may well be proud.
FRENCH INCONSISTENCY
Kansas students are already boasting of another championship basketball team. We thought that the seventh wonder of the world was the last one, but according to the rooters hopes, evidently not.
A recent dispatch gives the French the credit for the slaughtering of five thousand innocent people in the bombardment of Damascus, capital of Syria.
There was a revolt in Syria against French rule and in order to put down this uprising, our ally in the late struggle with the Teutons, her rowed the German method of shelling the besieged city to force the revolutionists out.
We have only to hack back a few years to recollect the great outcury made by the French against the bombardment of French cities by the Zappelins and Big Berthas tf the Germans.
And the practice brought down the wrath of the nations upon the Germans, because the French were able to give it wide publicity.
Will the French receive any ensurance for this practice? No! because the news is so frequent coming from people under the mandates of European powers that it will pass unnoticed.
The gorgeous coloring of autumn that follows the first frost is gone. The trees now spread their leafless branches against the sky like spectral arms, and the sun has a winy look as daily it follows a more southerly course. There still lingers a bluish haze in the atmosphere and the distant line of hills is lost in its enveloping mist. The old earth seems to part reluctantly with its treasures of bush and bough.
What in ethical in nations' policy seems largely a matter of what works to their advantage or disadvantage.
AUTUMN DAYS
The leaves lie strewn upon the ground, playthings of the lightest passing breeze. All forms of life are preparing for the struggle with winter. The sap flows to the roots of the trees, the leaves form a protecting cover for tender grasses, the squirrel stores his supplies in a hollow tree, and man gets in his coal. Winter is coming.

APPLICATIONS FOR SCHOLARS HIPS
Applications for scholarships, six for women students and one for a male student from the Freshman class, will be received in from 394, France on January 12th.
To guide the young people into the best ways of displaying the spirit which is in them for play and for fun, in a problem for college authorities, and it is being solved in the right way at the University of Kanawa.
There is no reason for this at all. Anyone who thinks that the young men merely go to college in order to learn from lectures and books is entitled to another guess. A great part of learning comes from the learning of wholesome and decent ways of enjoyment. Much of the pleasure in after life will come from the recollection of the fun they had in their school days. They will remember the night-shift parade long after the fortune forgotten the hancareate sermon.

CORRECTION
Chancellor Lindley at the head of a night-clarid party is doing more for a couple of thousand young men than if he were lecturing upon their mistakes. They will get the friendliness of education from the parade and not the preaching—W, Y. Morgan's Iutchinbon Herald.
Last Wednesday the Kansan recorded an estimate of the value of the Thayer Art collection to be bounced in the remodeled old Spoon Library as $75,000. This was in error. A very general official estimate has it $290,900.
Editorials From Other Hills
"Then why," says the eric, "should they inidify in this infamous orgy which goes by the name of 'night-shirt parade'"?
Some critic has taken the job of ridiculing that indelible something, which we call college spirit. He has gone on to declare the custom a night-shirt parade the evening before the first football game of the season.
Probably a man who has never gone to school or lived in a school town will be unable to appreciate the effervescent spirit which demonstrates itself in such a performance as the Jayhawk night shirt parade. There is no reason to it, and there is no sense to it. The young men who thus caper along with them are presumably to attire themselves when they go to bed, are at the University for the purpose of acquiring an education.

Hutchinson's "One Increasing Purpose" will prove satisfying.
"The Power and The Glory" is an historical romance of the famous La Salle. Sir Gilbert Parker came down from his Canadian anistons long enough to write this interesting story of a most romantic figure.
"The Professor's House," by Will Cather; Alfred A. Knopf, New York If you believe in the mental superiority of the female of the species, do
not read "The Professor's House." Willa Cather, the author, is hard on her own sex, but the character of the kindly professor amothered by the selfish women of his family stands all up the more for the contrast.
The poor professor, *Driven* to seek refuge from the carping of his women folk in the city, uses a pittable figure, but even in that attic all-pervading femininity pursues, and the timid man covers in the same vein, in forms of the family. The characterize-
tion of the professor is delicately handled, and is plausible where other writers than Miss Catherine might have left it mawkish.
The pettiness of the women is exasperatingly detailed, and one feels that the author almost oversteered herself by the way she wrote. She treats the professor's household. The story is charming, in that it reveals the sainthood of a man serene heart and intelligence and the characters are real people, worth becoming acquainted with.
