U. 62 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 1924 Impressions are rather big things at times, and sometimes the biggest ones are made by the smallest things. What kind of impression did the University of Kansas make upon the two hundred high school educators and students; managoe who were here Friday and Saturday? What kind of reports are they going to carry back to their schools and fellow students? Within the week there should be an expression of opinion on their port through the columns of their papers. It will be interesting to follow that opinion and to find out where high school students, who come to the University for a v.l., rat. k. U. hospital. Perhaps some of them may even go farther than to mention the hospitality and may something about other phases of University life. Not all of us realize the importance of having the high school education meet with us every year, or think of how great an effect they may have upon the choice of fellow students when they are deciding what institution we are going to attend. The conference is made as nearly *university* as it is possible to make it when the degree of specialization that must be attached to such a conference is considered. The high school edition and business managers have a fairly good opportunity to see what they are and to formulate ideas about them. All of us were high school students once, and all of us can remember what an impression the small as well as the large things at the University made upon us when we made our first visit. Perhaps we should remember them a little more, vividly and in a remembering try to help our high school guests and show them just a little more hospitality the next time a group meets with us. "KANSAS DOES NOT SUBOR DINATE ATHLETICS" "Kansas doesn't subordinate we letting, but we don't want student coming to this University with the idea of being athletes alone." Such, in effect, wore the words of Prof. W. W. Davis when he spoke before the Sixth Annual High School Newspaper Conference Friday night. The editors were told of the future of athletics at K. U. and of what was expected of future generations of students. Members of the faculty and of the Press Club could hold their heads just a little higher as Professor Davis spoke. Kansas has many things to be proud of, and one $c^2$ the greatest of these is the athletic policy of her State University. Almost yearly some well-known and locked-in college or university breaks into the front pages of metropolitan papers as the victim of its athletic directors and an administration that has commercialized and debauched athletes; by forgetting the rules of an amateur play. Kansas has kept free from such taint so far. It is up to the students and alumni to see that her record is clean and that the work of the present administration and athletic board continues. A SPRING "PROPHECY" It is the business of spring cleaning and the big roll top desks, the glass plated office furniture of the chief executive, and the thick carpets of Cap capital building, are moved from their accustomed places while the governor does her duty as the cleanly housewife. Th: dust flies and a woman ap- pens on the steps, with a red hand-bed creak in one hand a dust mop in the either while lobbiest and sentiments form a circle to watch the process. This picture of a Texas springtime might just just as well the capital building of Wyoming, for this is the day of hiroshima; woman is getting a share of the glory which is already acquired a winner.

Stanley Pennell I log to reprint, with footnotes, the critique of one of my conten- naries. A Play-Goer. Editor of the Kassan. Perhaps it does not behave a more student to disagree with a dramatic critic, (1) but as a representative of a large part of the audie nce (2) at the Bowcock court Monday night, I felt that "The Romantic Age" dugged through three acts. (3) On the contrary, it was kept up to a high point of artistic presentation. (4) Of course, it was not a professional production. (5) y t it is not fair to participate or to the author to challenge its sweet nothing, a few pun, and a light touch of disillusionment." (6) The play had an unusual charm which was not in the least plausible or of the kind to appeal to the most matter-of-fact persons. (7) But subtle charm and loveliness, and a touch of the aesthetic, are far different from "sweet rottings." (8) "The Romantic Age," even in its material moments went over to a college, which is more than can be said fond, which is more critical of all people, a college student, is a good test of the artistry of any play. (10) Mr. A. A. Milne has been writing plays longer than most critics have been critically titled them. (11) Perhaps, if he should read the criticism in the Kannan, he might rightly object to Milne's lack of nothing and a few "new" phrases. (12) A Play-Goer 1. Perhaps it doesn't. It is however, perfectly legal to disagree. 2. "As a representative of a large party, your comment might be made about a play." 2. "The Romantic Age' dragged" is a wrong statement of the original ordinance. This is the sentence in chapter 13, a few puns, several clever lines, and an illusion that disillusionment (no plent) belongs to Mr. A. A. Milne's 'The Romantic Age' were dragged through three atact at the Bawker court, C. A. A. players. The actors, no dislaughter to them, dragged the play." 8—"Subble charm and loveliness, and a touch of the aesthetic, are far different from 'sweet nothingness'," it is曼称 it as that is true as it is uncles. 11—The fact that “Mr. Milne has written plays longer than most crities have been criticizing them” has nothing to do with the quality of plays. It is not even an interesting method of beginning the question. 1—There may have been nigh points of artistic amateur production. It would take good professionals to keep "The Romantic Age" up to a "high point of artistic presentation." 5—No, it was not a professional presentation. 9- No offense to "The Romantic Age", as presented, college audiences have applaud d'many bad plays, even cheered them. 6—Again the quotation is wrong. Corrected it to "Sweet; nothing, a few puns, several clever lines, and a few plot." It is fair to tell the truth. 10. Differently: Many bad plays have been swallowed whole by college audiences. 7-A suprb rb sentence for the society column! There are many "matter-of-fact" persons, who are college students. 12. —Mr. Mitle might rightly object to having his played called 'sweet nothings and a 'few puns.' That statement loses volume as it proceeds. It was originally: "sweet nothings, a few puns, several lines and a light touch of disillusionment (no plot)." Yes, he might object. Well? ... Editor of the Kansan:— Often the cry goes up that students do not attend important functions and lectures that are given on the Bill and the instructors wonder at the fluidity and inconsistency of students. CAMPUS OPINION Many instructors have the view that the student achieves "every person in a college course is found in textbooks," but takes pain to ignore lectures that are helpful and is useful. A close observation of the duties of a student will show that under the present system, if he is applying to college, he has little time for anything else, especially during the week he has on hour open for relaxation of some sort and so usually devises this to the "dee dee" course." as some instructors term them. Plain Tales From the Hill One thing the average student, so the Hill needs very badly is fewer hours in the library; it would then be possible to attend lectures. No student would object to attending lectures under compulsion if the library part of his education could be lightened. Senior Man At a recent rummage sale given by one of our prominent sorcerors a lady customer had tried on the small collection of hats several times when finally she said to the fair-haired clerk: "I don't like this one at all. "I don't like that one either," said the clerk rather absent-mindedly. "Well it is my hat," exclaimed the customer as she strode 'from the store.
