Hamilton Announces Football, Basket Ball, And Track Schedules
Missouri Proposes New Rule Governing Eligibility of Plavers
The Kansas football, basketball and track meet schedules for next year were announced today by Athletic Manager W. O. Hamilton, who attended the annual meeting of the coaches and athletic managers of the Missouri Valley conference at the Hotel Baltimore in Kansas City Friday and Saturday. Men who failed to pass in studies was allowed of their S. and work will be allowed to compete in Valley athletics if their school committee on eligibility decides the failures were due to army work.
The Missouri University introduced a new plan which they are considering under which men who enroll December 30 will be eligible for Valley games next fall. The conference heads are opposed to the plan as such a plan would allow men to play on one conference team one year and be eligible to play with the Tigers the following season.
“Kansas will not never athletic relations with Tigers because of this ruling if it goes into effect, but Kansas will not play against men who are not Kansas players,” the new ruling” said K. W. O. Hamilton, manager of K. W. U. athletics today.
The Valley schedules are similar to the ones of last year because of the number of games which were called off and the S. A. T. C. work. The season will not go down into Valley history as a regular season.

Controversy is Raging:
How Needful the Knife?
Medic Student Defends Experi
ments as Means to Attain-
ing Knowledge
They fight like cats and dogs those "fer" and those against vivi section. Here is the latest contribution to the conflict which has been so vigorously started this season in the season. The arena for this annual struggle, and is glad to print communications like the following:
To the Kansan-We have with us again the perennial story of the barbarous medics and their Hunnish treatment of the canine species. I refer to the article that appeared in Dec. 9, over the signature, A. R. '19.
Every year, it seems, some altruistic but misguided individual happens upon this same idea—that the medics are brutally engaged in cutting up dogs and are doing it just for fun. Without waiting in line, he rushes into print with such an article as the one to which I refer.
The number of times that the subject has previously been dealt with and dismissed would lead one to suspect that the author is either a very new arrival upon our campus
or else that he is inspired by a desire to break into public notice. One might even suggest ignorance but A. R. "19 has been kind enough to anticipate that he is "neither ignorant nor chickenhearted."
the value of vivissection and its absolute indispensability in the pursuit of many lines of medical investigation, are too well known to warrant any lengthy discussion here. Defense is unnecessary. Those who are in the least familiar with the rudiments of biological science are aware of its value, and the surprising thing is that a student in our University would advance as far as his senior year and still remain so unacquainted with a bit of common knowledge.
Were it not for the several very evident misapprehensions under which he labors, one could overlook his vitriolic references to the medics, as being of a nature too juvenile for them. What more would happen, however, I submit the following-and hundreds of other pretty things.
(1) That the method of procuring animals, to which he alludes, viz. entituring them away from their owners and maliciously stealing them, is not the general practice, nor even the common practice. That it has occurred no well-informed medicine will deny, but the医术 as a class should not be made the victim of the indiscretion of an individual. The animals are regularly provided by the department in which the work is done, and they pass into the hands of the department with the full knowledge and consent of the owner, he receiving for each animal a sum agreed upon by himself and the representative of the department.
(2) That the animals are in no case subjected to surgical operations before they have been rendered insensitive to pain, either by the administration of an anaesthetic or by other appropriate means. The heart-rending picture of "innocent creatures suffering torture for hours" is (3) That overdosage of anaesthetic ed imagination.
(3) That overdoses of anasthetic are not administered wilfully, thus causing a needless sacrifice of animal life. On the contrary, it is the misfortune of the student if the animal upon which he is experimenting lies from overdose of ether, because n that case he must replace the animal out of his own too slender purse.
(4) That it is not for amusement that the animals are used in the laboratory. On this point A. R. '19 seems a bit clouched himself, for in the same sentence he designates its class routine and amusement. If anyone acquainted with the medal receives training himself that the work required is amusement, he leserves nomination to the Society f Optimists at once.
In order successfully to treat the human organism when diseased it is essential to understand its normal functioning, and since humans do not lend themselves readily to every form of investigation and experimentation, it is necessary to use animals instead. If A. E. R'90 is animated by humanitarian motives and wishes to take the place of one of the other animals, the medies will cheerfully stand ready to do their part.

(5) That the medics are not all "bungling undergraduates." We do not yet claim to be practicing surgeons, if we were we hope we should not be here. This is a necessary stage in the progress toward that end. Others have passed this way before us and have arrived at their goal. We trust that we shall not be less fortunate. The scornful epithet-undergraduate does not signify himself A. R, '19, and he should err again, I may call his attention to the fact that many of the medies are college graduates, some of them having received their A. B. degrees the same year that he first glimpsed our beautiful campus.

THE MISSOURI MULE ABROAD
A long and patient but vain effort on the part of a khaki-clad driver to induce a mule, drawing what appeared to be a load of laundry, through the gateway of a local hospital afforded considerable amusement by the time the mule was watching the proceedings. The mule would do anything but pass through the gateway.
"Want any 'clp, chum?" shouted one of the boys in blue to the driver, as he rested a moment.
"No," replied the driver, "but I'd like to know how Noah got all of these blighters into the Ark!"—Tt-Bits.
