The Jayhawker tennis team has made a name for itself seldom equaled in Valley athletics. Two men, Muir Rogers and George Glaskin, have played almost continually during the last month without ever suffering a defeat. After defeating Oklahoma, the Angles, Missouri, Ames, and Washington the team went to Lincoln and capped the Valley championship with a series of brilliant plays that would look well on the record of a professional.
The Kansas tennis team did not confine its victories to the Valley alone this season, but defeated Southwestern and the Oklahoma Arg格斯. A tie was gained with Illinois which school is considered one of the best tennis schools in the Big Ten. The victory at Lincoln makes two championships for Kansas this year.
The Jayhawkers set the pace in basketball with one defeat, but the tennis team has done even better. It has conquered the Valley without a loss during the season. The Jayhawkers should be proud of its two man team.
CHANGE
What a change to come about in the short time of six years! Back there in the days when the Germans were hammering at the gates of Paris, the French lifted their arms and voices imporlibly toward the distant shores of the Atlantic, pleading for help. America responded. Sammy and polls marched in hand down, the Rue de la Paix and gazed together admirably at the American flag waving in the Champ Elysees and the Champ de Mars.
Now an American squad of athletics competing in the World Olympics is presented with bliss and derisive French noises. Some time ago, the ruggy team, battling to victory in the finals, was almost mistaken by a swarm of angry Parisians. The police had great difficulty in conducting the Yankees to a place of safety.
The same thing happened again last Saturday. Throughout the hard-fought soccer game with Easthonia, the Americans, who won 1 to 0, were booed and razzed and hosted. When the American flag was raised in token of the victory, the glimr silence of the crowd was all the recognition the Red, White and Blue received.
At the conclusion of the game, the Americans, like the true sportmen, they are, locked arms in a circle and sheered loudly for Esthonia. The Parisian moll yelled for Esthonia, too, although it is courteful if many in the crowd knew whether Esthania is a new brand of cheese or another name for a June bug.
Just what these Frenchmen have against America is pretty hard to figure out. Maybe they see a victory for the team from across the big lake and it ranks on their Galilee pride to see honor after hon, on the athletic field and elsewhere, pass over to others.
Yes, indeed, things have come to a strange passage. "A friend in need is a friend indeed" must be a favorite idiom of the French people. All we cany, the action of the Paris mob has not always had the best consequences. We glance at the pages of our history; we have 1848 and 1873 in mind. Let us hope that the feelings displayed in the recent athletic contests in Paris are not representative of the whole of the French people.
Summer is on the way. The major Olympic events are yet to come. America is doped as a sure winner.
Complications can easily arise, if there is a continuance of such incidents, that may strain Franco-American relations. And France, above all, needs friends at this time.
What matter that finals are less than a week away? What matter that there were two semicondes before the third one? Sleepy, eagle-eyed, night-capped, cold cream, midnight arose and clipped wodeworms for the ser
MAY-MADNESS
No explanation is possible, but it is amusing to hazard a guess. First, every minm has so many songs he must sing. The cold weather of a Kannas winter was not conducible to midnight carols. Even April was not the pleasant harboring of spring she is painted so it was up to May to warm the cookes of the potential Romeca' hearts and melt the icebound fastnesses of song. May herself wak a little slow to take the hint which has placed a premium on each warm flower-scented night. None are allowed to go begging.
Let it be said too that groups which are nototiously sound sleepers and imperious to the charms of minstrelsy awake and give evidence of rant appreciation of each perfect note.
It must be May-madness. May can
ake the blame any way. In no other
south of the year would the entire
Hill go serenading as it has during
his month of May.
Campus Opinion
The supporters of pacifism continue to evade the real issue. They continue to paint a glowing picture of the horrors of war and the beastial destructiveness of the battlefield. The fight against pacifism is not one against the elimination of war. No opponent to the pacifist stands for peace, so opponent expects to be pictured as a second Mars standing with a sword looking for a chance to use it. Why don't the pacifists come out and meet the
Passive resistance can only work when the whole world practices the doctrine. It is impossible to cultivate an acre in a howling wilderness and extract the whole world to become a garden. For the United States to attempt passive resistance while the rest of the world arms would be pliable. It would be like groundhogs playing football and headgear and then to expect the rest of the players to hit easy on that account.
How can pacifism work when the Moesm is tough to conquer by the sword? Is he going to throw his religion aside? What kept this same man from coming out of prison? It was not passive resistance. What of the Near East and the Turk? The Armenians did not have much luck with pacifism. The Orient has no scruples against war, so what of the Ottoman empire would respect the doctrine of the peace maker? Europe is not going to stop her quarrels and greedy invitations. Yet well-meant men in American too themselves into thik-
About 2000 years ago, the world's greatest teacher laid down a code of rules for the world to abide by. His doctrine was one built on a solid foundation and not on idle Secury. He saw the world in a new light, has followed his plans to any great extent. Then what right have a few dreamers, to advocate a somewhat similar plan without the power to 'p' it across, and the present plan is
The pacific program falls down because they arrive at the end first and then shout down for every one to come up to their level without taking into account the steps necessary for such an action. They throw aside all historical precedent and they attempt to put across a message of disgrace at the enemy. In their short-sightedness they fail to see the emotions and availance born into the human race and they would reason with a nation as one would with a child. They are foolish enough to think that a man will see his country over-run and his home destroyed while he sat by with a calm passive demeanor and turned his cheek to his shoulder in response to one thing. They are trying to cool the ocean with a pound of ice.
War as our only working plan, has always accomplished a good, but no one stands for war if it is possible to evade it. To war we owe democracy, civilization, religion and everything on earth today, but we will do away with war if a working plan can be shown us to accomplish the end. Pacifism is not the plan, for it is impracticable. The pacifist

In a recent survey of the men of the University of Cincinnati some information of interest was brought out. The 1,643 man of the university weigh a total of 212,450 pounds; only five weight less than 100 pounds, four weighing between 100 and the greatest number weighed from 180 to 140. There were 361 men in this
class. Only 171 weigh over 16
