TEACHERS AS CITIZENS
Examples of university teachers lending aid in private and public business are easily found today. Last summer in Kansas City, Mo., an economics professor made an evaluation of the street railway's property for the federal court in charge of the receptionist. Dr. Stuart A. Queen of the department of sociology of the University is now in Kansas City, Kan., serving as the chairman of the program committee for the state conference of social workers.
It is a common practice (overdone in the opinion of some professors) for conventions and meetings held in the state to call upon the University faculty for addresses. Certainly by these means the University is coming in close contact with the practical social problems of the community and state. It should broaden the citizens' conception of the place of the University in society.
A real danger exists, however, in such a policy, and the first one to point it out will be the conscientious instructor. "I can not afford to dissipate my energy by working in many fields. It is not fair to the student. My teaching must suffer."
This danger must be recognized.
No general rules for meeting it can be laid down.
Perhaps some day the problem may be solved by giving professors fewer classes with the expectation that the additional time will be spent in research or in lending a hand in the social problems of the day, which is, of course, research work for the teacher in the social sciences. Such a conception of the teaching profession would vitally affect both the life of the student and the citizen.
THE GROUP SYSTEM
Two years ago, there were practiced one thousand unorganized women in the University—women who were connected with no sorority, dormitory or co-operative house. Last year, because of the new group system, there were no women who were unorganized on Mt. Oread. Last year, however, the group system was a new thing—one might almost call it an experiment. This year, it is to function both with the prestige of an institution which has been tried and found good and with the freshness of comparatively new establishment.
The group system means that every woman student on the campus shall have a social life with other women. It means that no woman need feel alone on Mt. Oread. It means that every woman will have a chance to develop the best that is in her through the co-operation and assistance of others who are interested in her. It means a greater democracy for the Hill, looking forward to a time when every women's organization shall be considered as one unit in University life.
This is perhaps the crucial year for the group system. Its successes last year were considered remarkable because it was a pioneer year. Its failures were overlooked for the same reason. But now experiments are no longer in order. The group system will be judged by the way in which it functions, and that will depend on how much women want to count for in University life. The organization will be thorough. Everything will hinge upon the spirit

of the women who are to become group members. In the hands of these women will be an opportunity to establish a tradition which may spell a democratic victory for all future women students of the University of Kansas, and also an opportunity to make democracy count for nothing and to obliterate from the campus limelight all except those who by the weird workings of chance may have attained positions of social prominence. At former crucial moments in the history of the University, women have always rallied their forces. This case will probably prove to be no exception.
JUST A TEASER
Yesterday morning, the "Oracle Grand Prix," in other words, the regular noun rush to appease demon appetite, claimed its first tail—two cars collided in front of Green hall. Little damage was done, yes, but it was just a teacher, a grim reminder that unless some firm and sudden action is taken, some change is made, the next smash-up might not be so trivial.
The Men's Student Council is attempting to curb busing and rockless driving on the campus, but it will take time. Meanwhile, what will happen?
What does the reckless driver gain by his foolhardy tactics? A few minutes, the equivalent of which he
didwheat away numerous times during the day. And in gleaning them he helps malt or kill innocent persons—and occasionally himself.
Let's let the tense suffice.
Campus Opinion

Editor, Daily Kansan:
The editorial in the Sept. 24 issue of the Kanaan in regard to the new plan for a Kansas cheering section was a good one, and the criticism were, I believe, well founded. But I wonder if the writer had a trifle mistake idea.
It is true that students deserve received seats as much as any one, and that the wild rush for the best ones will be no pillow. I also agree that it is a n fly to leave out of the section several hundred alumni and other loyal rooters. And last, but not least, we do enjoy watching a game with any out-of-town friends who may be here to meet them, or angry managers to K. U. have a much pleasant time of it if a friend is nearby to tell them the players are and possibly let them know what is coming next.
But I do not believe that any alumni who comes back to the games is going to have to do any "solo cheering," as the Kansan predicts. At a Kansas football game, the cheering is not confined to the students. As I see it, thecheering session is merely the nucleus of the having mobs, and with the cheer leaders out in front, everyone who

De LUXE CAFE
For several years past there has been a yelp going up that Kansas needs a cheering section. This year it happened and the town taken to provide it. The faults cited in the Kansan collarary are only true ones, but rather than pick out these faults, let give those responsible a little put on the back for their intentions, anyway. The maybe next year, well get when we want.

We've got our rooting section, and now we have it, it's up to every student who sits in that section to rip a lung yelling for Kansas. The next section would have a teacher section with the improvements which the Kansen suggests.

They say it happened this summer in a geology class. The instructor was lecturing about the coast line of the Atlantic. “There are many strips of land,” he said, “extending out into the ocean which are called necks. Now here is one quite populous island where people of picnic parties come out here to Eton Neck”—And he wondered for a moment why the class laughed.
