U., 25 and 66 MONDAY, OCTOBER 20,1924 BE A GOOD SPORT Be a good sport. If Kansas wins "booey," if the Oxford men win he as quick to commarulate them. They have debated under strange circumstances. In all fairness to your own sense of justice, remember they have advanced arguments for prohibition in Kansas, "hone dry" for many years. How many would have the courage to take the affirmative issue on "Received that Prohibition is Unjustified" in Carrie Nation's native state? The debaters might wake up t:2 find the gymnasium demolished by a famous hatchet. But in all seriousness, Kanman has always been as fair in defeat as in victory. We have showed a spirit of sportsmanship in athletic contexts; now let us give to our English guests the same spirit of admiration and respect. IMPOLTE? WHO SAID SO? All this talk about the discourtesy and general carelessness of students is really annoying. It actually sounds like though some people thought students were impolite. Stress is laid on the fact that students walk in phalarax formation of numbers and parasols, block entrance ways, and generally conduct themselves to their own discredit and the discomfort of other students and no more faculty members. ; Why, the very idea! Why, James dear, who told you such? You know students love to be shoved and pushed. It gives them a feeling of exhilaration, of being to the great communal held, of being one with the struggling masses Blacodes andights to get through; then constitute one of the purest aspirations toward the ideal of democracy found on the American campus today. And the brawn the combat develops, the fighting spirit of get through on ice! The future football heres it starts on their careers, who tackle the jam and make up their minds in one supreme moment that "bosting the line" shall be their ambition forever while engaged in academic life! Other students as correctly ait out to prove that their numbers will no advantagefully hold the line. ; Who can say that the daily shave on the campus is not worth its small discomforts of broken bones, wrenched hairs, snaked hair, and ruin of sheikhism? Never, never, Archibald! Sometimes these faculty members tend to be in a hurry, and step out on the ground and so pass round the student group. At times they even step in the mud. But one knows this is done only for show. In their hearts they welcome the excuse to walk slowly, absorb student wisdom as lovingly expressed, and to show their cameradie in being late fully as many times as the student: faculty members think deeply at such times. And Harold, this matter of congruating on steps. Never are the social amenities so inhaled in and developed as when they have a chance to spread in the areas of congested steps and entrance ways. Friendships are made, others continued, and not a few even broken, thus making way for new efforts at social understanding; in these cases where oceans hesitate performance and is lost indeed for a time of from two to five minutes. No, none would discourge. Their little groups whose numbers are so earnestly desirous of increasing the greater good. Of course, some students unake away with the books, hide them for an hour or two, or take them home for the semester. Other students who wanted the books receive the loan with the earliest jeep, and immediately set to work to vary the急躁 of the librarian's dates by adding three times as many questions as before. It all works out well. No harm is done except to the faculty, who never understand any way, and to the library, which unaccountably seems to hold itself responsible for the books. A few students mourn for a while, but this only in passing, and one finds it is not an expression of their real feeling at all. Ubiham, Alexandry. The students an impolite bunch? Why, George, shame on you! LOWER EDUCATION What is wrong with the picture of the professor who sits before his class in the pose affected by "Le Penser," gaze into space and enters into a long technical discussion of his subject under tendable only by specialists in his line? Professionals might be classified in many kinds and varieties of groups; they present their subjects after the manner of a kindergarten teacher, they present their subjects in the manner of a specialist addressing a technical clinic, and those who offer nothing more than a discussion of long accepted, title generalities, that every student learned in high school. Education must be a half and half process. The teacher who is not interested enough in his work to make his classes interesting to the student's a failure. Of that sort is the processor whose lectures are incarcerate jumbles of facts, disorganized and riven in such a manner as to be almost unrecognizable. Day after day he talks monotonously and uninterestingly, then gives an examination covering the field thoroughly, which the poor student can not satisfactorily answer because he has no adequate source of information. There is the professor whose assignments require almost super-bhuman efforts and a capacity to endure long intervals with at least sleep. He thinks his course is the only one offered, and expects his assignments to be prepared at the sacrifice of all else. The most deadly of the species is the teacher who gives his material nicely packed and expects to get it sick in the same form in which it was given out, and no questions asked. Since education is a process of learning to think, the interested guidance of the teach r is all that could be asked. He is asked to help the student to think, and to guide this process, not dominate it; to help him in the accumulation of facts, not give them to him to be memorized. DREAM Sweet to the Tongue Soft is my bed... I dream at night Of the dear dead. Sweet is the twilight. Golden and shining hair Brushes my finger tip: To your dear face so far I press my lip. Quietly breathe we on... Love, close thine eyes; Flutter above us now Sweet butterflies. In my heart is a pain That melts away; -Esth:r Freese, e'23. I am with you again... Yours until day. These alumni who come back during the teacher's convention entertain the old chapters with school-teaching stories. One last year's graduate was much disturbed recently because one of her young students reported to the family that her teacher had very bad behavior — in fact, that she swore every day. Plain Tales From the Hill --second frosh—"No, they're just the same as the rest of us." When the horrified mother asked what awful word teacher used the young hopeful responded: "When w. stand up t) take our exercise, she says 'In Hell' and then close her mouth. Then she says 'Ex Hell' and opens her mouth way up. Un!n't teach r wicked? The irregular payroll will be open for signature until Wednesday noon Oct. 22.

LAWRENCE DRAMA LEAGUE: Truyffs for the November play, *Milieu*, of "The Stepmother" and *Momie's* "Thursday Evening," will be held at 1200 p.m. thursday, 8 p.m., in the Lafayette Theater. Refreshing, indeed, is the honesty of some of the freshmen who have not yet acquired the aphrodite and ready repressor of the upper-class A few days ago, a freshman stepped into one of the administrative offices of the University and stood there with a bewildered air until the secretary asked him, "What do you want?" "I don't know," answered the guileless one as he turned and walked guilty out of the office. "Pussy cat, pussy cat, where have you been?" "He came nearer the truth than out of 'em' sighed the secretary, s she went on with her work. So Catty "I've been to college to see the queens." Pussy cat, pussy cat, what did you there?" "I counted the rat's nests in the queens' hair!" This student went to Manhattan This student went to Manhattan This student stayed at home This student had some "thanks." This student had some "kale." This poor student had none. Moral: He went to see the grid-rr.ph. This student said, "Dear, dear, dear— "Wish I had some." The say that "The Deluge" has been postponed. Nevertheless we noticed we had deluges all last week. The freshman suddenly burst into *ond*, prolonged laughter, "What's the joke?" his roommate asked. With the expression of a cat that has just died on the canary, the freshman replied: "You know the fishman replied: 'Well, well a fishmore tailed all the blank spaces with his own name.'" Student talking about K. C... Where is Troost?" Another student: "I don't know, a wearer of the crimson and blue treasurers: "What is it a town or anything?" It may be unfortunate to have a date without a marret, but 'tis worse o have a date without money. Beamer "Bono" Jon's, ex '26, is now visiting with friends in Lawrence. "Bazo," according to his own statement, spent the summer on the ruins of western Kenya, in an outdoor hunting for a low wolf that howled. First fresh—"Do you think there is such a thing as honor among thieves?" ON OTHER HILLS The co-operative policy that is being used in the student bookstore of the University of Oregon, makes all the registered students members of an organization which owns and opposes online self-supporting. The freight rates to Oregon from the east are so large that until this new plan was originated the students had to pay nearly twice the amount asked for the name books in eastern schools. The other books were made by book dealers the books can be sold at approximately the regular price list and still include the freight. An edict has been issued at the University of Indiana by Agnes Wells, dean of women, preventing the transmission of motor cars while attending the university, and denying them the privilege of motoring outsides the city of Bloomington, except during the two weeks before the close of the school year. University teams at the University of Ohio at Columbus will be lead entirely by native Buckeyes this coming year. Captains elected to lead eleven squads now on the variety sport calendar are all from Ohio. Dean Wells said that 50 per cent of the women 'students' who were forced to leave school on account of poor grades were known to have spent much time in motor cars, and the poor scholastic standing of our owners is said to have been responsible for the edict. Two cups are being offered by the homecoming, committee of Northwestern University to the two fraternal organizations having the greatest per cent of their aluml' back for the homecoming celebration. $T_{HE}$ finest materials, expert designing and careful workmanship make every Stetson a masterpiece. "We have too many cookie pushers and teabooks in this university," said William Brown, president of the St. Louis Alumni association at a recent football mass meeting in the university auditorium at Columbin. "What we want are some real men who can sit on a porcine without a saddle and fight a rattle snake and give it the first two bites." STETSON HATS Styled for young men Hopes of a championship swimming team this year have been expressed by E. A. Knuth, swimming coach at UCLA, who says dates have applied for the team. Seniors at the University of Minnesota have begun the practice of carrying canes on the campus. They hope to establish this as a custom. Don't Miss It!!
