In the last number of the student paper from Missouri there appeared a lengthy editorial criticising Kansas for her refusal to consider seriously the idea of playing the Thanksgiving game at Joplin. Why should we go to Joplin? The only reason that has thus far been advanced is the financial bonus offered by Joplin and the chance of "cleaning up" a pocket full of money. On the other hand Joplin is the center of a mining district where illiterate foreigners make up a large part of the population. In such a district drunkenness and lawlessness are certain more or less to prevail. The atmosphere is foreign to that of the University student. Why the University of Columbia can with dignity hold out for the Missouri mining town is a puzzle to us. Do they place gold above the character and reputation of the place they would ask their students to go?
Isn't the University rather handing the freshmen a gold brick when it coaxes them to come here, and then herds them together in classes of from fifty to seventy, where proper individual instruction is impossible? The legislature thought it was doing wonders for the University last winter, but large as the appropriation was, the institution has already outgrown it.
In view of the relations existing at present between the United States and Japan, will it be safe for the University to refuse the degree which Mr. Yamasaki asks for?

Picture Shows Kansas Asking Uncle Sam to Admit New State.
An admirable use of the hall space on the third floor of Snow Hall has been made by placing a collection of sketches where they may be seen conveniently. Among the most interesting are the color photographs on the south wall.
In a glass show case is an instructive exhibition of the processes through which a sketch passes after it leaves the hands of the artist before it appears in the newspaper. The subject used is the familiar one in which the cartoonist, Mr. Albert T. Reid, represents the small boy, Kansas, asking Uncle Sam to admit into the house, the small boy, Oklahoma, who has been waiting outside on the doorstep.

WILL GIVE A LIGHT OPERA.
Fine Art School Will Put on "Patience" in December.
The preliminary plans have been completed for the winter concert to be given by the students of the School of Fine Arts. It is to be held at the Bowersock opera house on two evenings December 12 and 13. A light opera, entitled "Patience," by Gilbertand Sullivan is promised. This is a satire on the aesthetic craze in England some thirty years ago and is full of good wholesome humor.
The chorus, which will be drilled by Mrs. Blanche Lyons, commenced practice Monday afternoon. It will contain many of the best voices from the "Pirates of Penzance" last year together with several new voices of great promise. The University orchestra will play the accompaniments.
The staging of the opera will be under the direction of ProE. G. Frazier of the Public Speaking department.
