American Ideas of Spanish People Are Too Romantic
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17. - 9241
Bull-fights No Worse Than Boxing Matches, Says South American Student
"Most Americans think that the people of Spanish speaking countries spend most of their time watching bull-fights, and making love, and that the men are always playing the guitar under windows of fair indians and at the same time singing passionate love strains, heaving sighs of sorrow, flogging themselves, of Bogata, Colombia, in an interview last night.
Bull-Fighting Common in Bogota
"But such is not the case. This typical view is created by the movies and by travelers who never tell of it or mention it on the spectacle and unusual."
NUMBER 106.
Ball-fighting Common in objection
When asked about the bull fight-
ing, Castro replied that the sport
was "just a game." It was.
It forms part of the life of the
people. It is to them what baseballs
is to the United States.
"No, I do not consider bull-fighting as brutal as boxing. If two reasoning, sensible human beings can get into a ring and exert all their powers to knock each other sincerely, why is it not all right for a man to match his strength and skill against another person in an epic battle, here the animal has plenty of chance to kill the torcedor, and often does, too.
"We have no blue laws down there,
hence the greatest feces are held on
Sunday. This is the day of the big
gatherings, and other such gatherings.
A Gala Affair
A bull fight is quite a gala affair. For days before the subject of conversation is nothing but the coming battle. Tickets are sold out many days in advance. On the day of the game, the crowd forms a regular parade to the circus or stands in which the arena is coated. These vehicles are filled with beautiful senators and gay caballeros. A great football or baseball game! The only affair comparable from the crowds and atmosphere, to bull fight.
"Most of the torcedors," continued Castro, "Come from Spain, and tour all South and Central America and Mexico. The native performers do not have the class, grace, skill and notion of the Spanishic. These terrorists kill the killers and espadas, or those who wield the sword, have a high position socially. They are feated and entertained by the best of society, and even by the royalty. When Hochelaga, one of the best bull-fighters ever proclaimed in 2015 years ago, he was buried in a silver coffin and given a state funeral.
Originated in Ancient Rome
Originate in Italian Rome.
“This pastime and its origins in the Roman Empire, Romie. There is a growing sentiment against it, and I believe that eventuallt, although not very soon, it will be abolished,” he concluded.
Castro is a junior in the College, and a member of the Cosmopolitan Club. He is studying geology, saying that a trained geologist can make good hit for him. Much older was he when years chief justice of the Supreme court. Before coming here, he attended the University of Pittsburgh.

Sleeping in Morgue Only One Way of Earning Money Found by K. U. Employment Bureau
They do anything, from washing cats to picking cockleburbs off shop's nacks," was the reply of Tom Poor, manager of the store. Y, M, M, C, A, in response to a query as to how the 71 per cent of the men enrolled in the University who are partially self-supporting earn their money.
The employment bureau has located men in 135 permanent positions and has supported them at the beginning of the school year. The majority of the permanent positions are in boarding clubs where students work as waiters
"Sleeping in a morgue for his room rent is probably the strangest way of earning money that we have opened up to any man." Poor explained. "That cockburn story is hard to believe, but she shipped wanted burrs picked off before sending the animals to market and called on us for men to do it."

Prof. W. Walter Whitlock gave a cry clever tartesque singing of "I was the Dirt" I It Rain! I "Big Brown Bear." Louise Phillips, student assistant in the dearmament of physical education, c34 entertained with a clog dance.

"Cleaning work of all kinds is the most frequent old job request placed at the employment bureau. In the summer, the leaves are heavy. Spadings gardens will probably afford a smaller springtime occupation to applicants at the bureau."
"Some of the boys are rather pari-
ticular about the kind of work they do, but I've never yet failed to find enough work for a man who rewrote an article he was writing to do is to stick by me and show willingness to work. It's fine to see the appreciation many of these men show when we help them out, and I see to what we are expected the man-

Any students who desire the assistance of the bureau and those applicants whose schedules for the press semester are available to call at the bureau soon, so that its service may be as widely effective as possible.
Cobblers Thrive As Oread People Climb
"Climbing the hill does it." said it. O. Burgerst, of the Student-Shop. "and the fact that indictment is more than men's is very significant."
Weiry students have wished time and again that they might wake up some morning to find that the hat had mysteriously flipped out during the night; and others, inclined to make their heads work over with excitement, have the hancled devices for elevating the sleivers to Mt. Oread's height of knwledge. And now a new reason for hurling opprobrium at the climb has been discovered. Employees at shop repair shops say that more these are put on shoes in Lawrence than in any other town where they have worked before.
But at any rate the hair has in this another abill for over-drawn checking accounts and letters home to the owner. The terrible cost of shoe repairs.
Mr. Burgert said he believed that women are more inclined to keep "on their toes" than are men. Whether also, women are more inclined to make extra trips up the hill for college of study he was unable to
Football Squad at Work
Discuss Photographic Slides
Taken Last Fall
"I wish to stress the importance of coming out for spring football," said Coach "Potsy" Clark, Saturday morning, to the men who are out for spring practice. About 105 men have signed up for the squandit but not all of these are coming out. No man, unless he is out for some other sport, is intended for them. He year until he was out for spring football."
Part of the talk was devoted to discussing photographic slides which were made by Clark Moore, e27, during the home games. The slides were shown by Coach Clark to show the strong and the weak points of the play to the men.
El Ateneo Holds Meeting and Election of Officer
Regular practice is every day at 4:30 except Saturday when it is not in the heat. It has been working outdoors for several days now in full equipment.
At a meeting of El Ateneo Thursday afternoon, Feb. 14, the annual election of officers was held. Those elected were Myron Wagner, c26; George Culver, c25; vice-president; Tressle May, c25; secretary; Julia Miller, c25, treasurer; Hazeline Richardson, c24; chairman of membership; Russell Calver, c24; John Ryan, c22; chairman of refreshments; and Jose Owen, and Agnes M.

Around the Campus
"Why did it rain?" was the wall, why did the women. "I'll have to starve of the women." one said he signed. "I never saw such a tax system." I never saw such a tax system.
Rain, taxi-men, and music—they were all busy last night. Coy measuremance dates stable furtive pledging glances at the famine line stag line, showed appetites unasspected back on the dates when they footed the bills, and delayed long in time to have been counted out of the hill for once tasted the lelurious joys of starging, swaggered about the room tagging the popular man, or devoted themselves to their dates with chivalrous consideration, until with the last lingering strains of the band they moved Year varsity passed into history.
"And with all the money that I spent on him, my date didn't even get a marrow, and you know," and another woman said. "I believe he whispered, I believe he even shaved himself. And when I think of the money I always spent getting ready for college."
"Wonder what was the matter wit Doe," mused another. "She was sting and never came near me all we could suppose, suppose she's sorry about that time."
"I had no idea I rated so well with the women," one man complained. "Did you notice, how they cat in on me?"
Lights burned late all over the hill last night as students congregated in little groups to discuss the events of the evening.
"I thought I was going to be stuck with Bill all evening. I don't know what I'd have done if you hadn't cut in."
And the women in their little groups exchange confidences.
"Joe certainly is a cute date. He never really appreciated him before, but now he has crowded the two halls last night agreed as a whole with the little star who raturiously cocked her hat once more and sighed, 'Gee, what a real party.'

"Won't You Look Sweet on the Front Seat of a Bicycle Built for Two?" Is Song of Seniors
"How's your gym credit?" There is a question, Indies 1 gentleman. It has often proved to be the source of student rage and discomfort, along about the time a senior adviser noticed that the applicant for a job had drastically improved Robinson gym and developed his physique.
M. D.'s have been calcd into granting exempts cards to upperclassmen who "have never had time to do it" (and most of the students has had to certify that "Mr. John Joseph Doe is employed by me and must be here at such and such an institution."
But is has fallen to the lot of two seniors in this year's graduating class to present the most novel means of working off gym deficiencies. These are the band bicycle and by laboring on it they will convince the medical authorities that the necessary development has been given to their many frames.

Jayhawk Basketeers of 1923 Not Lacking
Hey, Johnny! Here, Charlie! Shoot. Phog! O, Skil! The foregoing shouts rang through Robinson gymnasium a gang of youngsters and gang were all there. A dozen or so youngsters from the grade schools of Lawrence were engaged in a boly game.
Young "Prog" Allen captured 'on team, and followed in the steps of his illustrious father, displaying a fine knowledge of the game. A husky little follow in overalls, who was called Charlie by his mates, led the opposing team. Johnny, whom we saw earlier, was evidently his father's, the referee, and rat the game in the most refereed fashon·
Uniforms varied from regular gym suits to overalls and street clothes of all descriptions. The game waxed fast and furious to the huge enjoyment of a number of casual spectators who shouted words of encouragement to the youngsters on the floor. No fools were called and time was running; the referee was to toss up the ball at center after each goal.
So the game between the future Jayhawkers progressed without account being taken of time or injuries until the floor was taken over by two players. The team trumped noisily out to continue the game in Charlie's back yard.

Nominating Committee Is Now Making Plans
Election of new officers of the Y. W. C. A. will probably be held at the meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16, in Myers hall, according to Miss Maris Ross, secretary. The certainty of the vote does not constitute the constitutional amendment to change the date of voting is accepted.

W. C. A. biennial convention in New York.
If the amendment is accepted, the nominating committee will announce the candidates, and the election will proceed. The officers to be chosen are president, vice-president, secretary, and undergraduate representatives.

The smaller of the two students will ride the front saddle and from that fact we get the joker in the press when we see the cute clawful custom of years gone by when the sweet young companion with whom one went cycling were born, and enjoy the brees, does not have any means of propulsion attached. So the fellow who rides in for fast ride and not work at all at all.
And then again, if the weather habens to be a bit off and not suitable for cycling the Bicycle Boys will need a mileage meter or a mileage meter on their bike and instead of risking their health in the bad weather they will just attach a wheel to the pedal and use the wheel of the tandem and after propping the wheel up in the air, the little motor will be allowed to turn the wheel and distance for the two hours' credit.
And such will be the end of the daily dozen.
Lincoln's Knowledge of Bible Profound, Says Doctor Burdick
Every Subject Known to Law Profession Included in His Practice
“An examination of the reports of the Illinois supreme court shows that he was engaged in one hundred twenty-five cases before that ten judges, and these he won ninety-two. In the federal circuit court, the reports show he appeared in ten cases, of which he won seven. Two of the three cases also appeared in the United States supreme court were decided in his favor.
"Abraham Lincoln's law practice covered every subject known to the profession," said Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice-chancellor of the University and professor of law in the School of Law, before the Osborne County Teachers' Association at Osborne Saturday. Many of the facts presented were traced to a personal examination of the Illinois court records.
In the trial cases, Lincoln made frequent use of Biblical quotations. He had the Bible at his tongue's end. He never spoke long, and knew every word he heard. At a time, more like an old friend, While his legal learning was not profound, he possessed a remarkable clear knowledge of fundamental religious principles guided him right in most instances “His personal law library was small—less than forty volumes.” He had to assume the duties of the presidency, his entire estate did not exceed $10,000. His average yearly income at that time was about $3,000. This amount is no ordinary "incomes of that period."
Doctor Burdick traced the early life of Lincoln, telling of the purchase of his first law book in 1824 and the death of him almost after his return from the Blackhawk war. Lincoln was admitted to the bar when he was 22 years old, receiving forty three years, he partners at different times, three partners.
Varsity Baseball Squad Holding Regular Meetings
The varsity baseball squad is already under way for the coming baseball season. Meetings are being held for the purpose of drilling the men in the fundamentals of the game. At the meeting which was held Saturday the fundamentals of batting were discussed by Coach "Fotoy" Clark.
"I hope that the fact that the ducks are flying means an early spring," he said. "Because the earlier we start, the better it will be for us." The pitchers are working out in the gymnasium three times a week with "Poco" (poke) and "Cinderella." There will be another meeting of the acked Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 3:36.
Students' Work Fairly Evaluated by Grade Points
Upperclassmen Should Have Responsibility of Own Education, Says Brandt
The grade point system which went into effect with the class of '25 will mean that the student who does not have his D grades counter-balanced by A's and B's will have to take more than the required 120 hours for a degree, and that it is necessary to receive a degree, excluded Dean J. G. Brantford.
Dan Branford went on to say that the grade point system is the best method of evaluating the quality of work done by the student. Also that the student has been done in the past and as to what is the best thing to do in the future. By taking the record of the student under this method it is possible to assess whether he has made better, better advise his individual case and to better advice him what to do.
Often Has Too Many Activities
"I may be that he is doing too much," she said in a schedule that he is carrying, or perhaps the student is taking part in too many school activities for his own goal. "I will be able to help the student's schedule rearranged, we are better able to assist him in his studies after graduation," she said. Brandt.
According to Dean Brandt the average student thinks of himself as going to college for a four year period. He is very frankly the natural division of a student's education comes at the end of his sophomore year. By this time he has formed contacts with fundamentals, and has a large extent what he wants to do.
Considering Change in System
Considering Change in System
The administration is considing seriously that a change he made in the Graduate School. The idea of placing the responsibility on the student himself be projected into the junior and senior years of the undergraduate school. By his method the student is put out by himself, a problem which he out by himself, the professor acting as adviser.
This would do away with the idea that the student is working for the professor and would build up the idea of his own success for himself" said Dean Bruntdell. This is what he has to do after he receives his degree and goes into the job. He faces many problems then which he himself must figure out, he cannot depend on his professor's assistance. Why not depend on someone else? An part of his college education"

Maybe Student Need Freedom
"I believe there is a group of students here in the University who should be challenged to do their best and this is the best system to accomplish the desired end," said Dean Brands. He went on to say that participants we have been training should be allowed more freedom, and more chance > work out his own problems.
"The first two years may be looked on as two years of distribution in which the student becomes acquainted with the fundamental course, and is then able to say that two years are years of concentration," finished Dean Brandt.
Members of Track Team to Hold "Get-Together"
This is the first meeting of, the team this year. Similar gatherings will be held every two weeks at df" front fraternity houses. The fraternities are co-operating with the athletic authorities toward making better teams in the university meetings, according to Howard Firebaugh. They are "get-together" meetings for the purpose of fostering a higher degree of team work and closer fellowship among the members of the team.
