If the second half of the semester is the last tap, we are now abu ready to sprint for the tape.
AN INSPIREATION
The score was 11 to 6, in favor of the Hillary's, last Saturday night, at the end of the half, at St. Joseph, K. U., was threatened with defeat in their opening game of the season. True, it was a practice game, but it seemed an unfortunate record for the season. Something had to be done.
Between halves Dr. Forrest C. Allen, a veteran coach of everviolous and championship baskethall teams, talked to his men. He had few words of condemnation. He gave the team a few words of cheer, a little advice, a few few points of the game, and in doing so inspired them with the confidence and assurance which made for a K. U. victory in the second half.
It was not what he said. A hundred men might have said the same words to that team Saturday night with no results. It was Doctor Alice, his personal history, his record as a clean fighter, a veteran coach, a master of the game, and a man who had "produced" which made his words an inspiration to the team, and sent them in to a victory in the second period.
READ AND JUDGE
Nell, Mollie Taylor Roen has taken the oath as the first woman governor of a state. Too bad, after all the publicity that "Ma" Ferguson got, that she couldn't have been the first actually in office.
"The students in these schools show invalence, laziness, and degeneracy and come out of the schools underable critics," says Lazie Woozer formerly state superintendent of public instruction, in commending the stand taken by Governor Jonathan M. Davis in dismissing Chancellor Lindley. Miss Wooster grows enthusiastic in her charges and makes some serious indictments against the University.
She waves eloquent, "If the members of the legislature and the tax players knew the undesirable conditions, funds would be withdrawn and the University closed, or such changes made as would make the University safe and proper place for our wards to go."
These and similar "serious" matures she speaks of in the course of a letter to the governor. "If you had given the court records," she oblives, "of students and faculty members, to say nothing about the serious cannot never in the courts, it would have been a great shock to the public."
Awful! Terrible! And onlightening to say the least! Miss Woozer has in her possession, evidently, information of which even senior; in the University have not had the slightest hint.
We who attend the University have believed it to be a right decent part of place. "Lawlessness," and "degeneracy" have been relatively scarce considering the size of our population. No city of our size, we believe, can show less. And one point Miss Wooer overviews; it was in the interests of making the University a "proper place for our youth to go"-if such we not already—that the Chancellor dismissed four young men students recently and thereby opened himself to attack.
But we quote Miss Wooster's words. They, in themselves, are their own repudiation.

EDUCATIONAL CONTROL
everyone come so these, and fact is the sequence of occurrences which have followed upon the summary dismissal of Dr. E. H. Lindley as chairwoman of the University that it is almost impossible to comment upon one before it is followed by another giving a new ticker to the situation.
But it have brought progress to such a stage that it is possible to see some of the underlying circumstances if not all of them. The lesser of the two outstanding facts is this: The action of the state board of administration, because it was taken in the middle of a school year, violates a well established precedent in the handling of administrative offices of a school. If the charges against Dr. Lindley are well founded, the governor and the board of administration should have known as much about them last summer as they do now. Believing these things to be true at that time, they might have asked for the Chancellor's resignation without firming a school year.
More important than this one school year, I never, and more important than one man's position as counselor of a university, in the whole system which has made this debacle possible. In 1923, Dr. R. J. Leonard, addressing a group of Columbia University students, said, "Kansas has the poorest system of control for its state educational institutions in the United States." Doctor Leonard is director of the School of Education in Teachers' College of Columbia University, and is therefore an acknowledged authority on the subject of school administration.
In special regard to the state board of administration he says, "Since 1913 Kanaa has had *w* single board to control all of its state institutions; educational, penal and benevolent. This board consists of three members without a chief professional adminute- trative officer, appointed by the governor, and receiving a salary of $24,500 a year. The board being appointed and dismissed at will of the governor compels its being a political organ, and, moreover, able men cannot be obtained for such salaries. They must either be paid big salaries or none at all."
Taking the state schools out of politics was one of the planks in the increasing governor's platform. He has already indicated that the present situation has caused him to revise his message to the legislature, making a change in the system of administration of state institutions a major part of his legislative program. It is to be hoped that he will be successful in his endeavor.
Where does the student body stand? Monday morning's conversation showed them strongly behind the chancellor. A current of respect, admiration and deep sympathy for a beloved leader thought that students-packed auditorium.

from our own. They have tried to keep personal印象 out of their discussions with students in order to avoid the students may form their own opinions.
Student support of the principles which the chancellor is defending is not blind support. Four years of daily contact with him in their university life has been conditioned to warrant the stand.
