Kansas is taking the right position in opposing the abolition of the training table for her athletes. In the first place there appears to be no very good reason to do away with the training table and looked at from the Kansas viewpoint there are a good many reasons for its continuance. Men who play a hard football schedule should be provided with the best care and the diet most conducive to their health. The training table helps to overcome the bad effects of the strenuous practice the team is forced to undergo. Kansas football players after going through one of the hardest schedules in the Missouri Valley emerged at the close of the past season in excellent condition both physically and scholastically. The University of Kansas has no dormitories or publically conducted eating clubs such as the other schools of the Missouri Valley have and while Kansas would be greatly injured by doing away with the training table the other schools would not be affected as the athletes would continue to enjoy the benefits of a training table in the dormitories, or university boarding clubs.
It is coming time now to begin figuring on what kind of a track team the University is going to have this spring. The University is not scarce on material. There is all kinds of it going to waste. The team has one of the best coaches of any team in the country, and a captain for the coming year who has plenty of enthusiasm. It has an indoor track as good as any in the country. Now it is up to the University to turn out a winning track team. Only two things are in the way of a winning team: one is to keep the men eligible, and the other is to make the men train. It is up to every man who has any ability on the team to see that he himself and others on the team keep up their school work. It is up to the organizations and the student body to put such a strong brand of disapproval on the flunker, who can not keep on the organization, that it will be a disgrace to flunk.
The rapid growth of schools of journalism in all parts of the country is one of the most hopeful signs of the change which higher education is undergoing from the critical to the creative.
The University of Missouri continues to expand this all important, but, new department of the university, and the University of Colorado has just decided to make a school of journalism one of her departments. The power of the press is unquestioned. The press it is that becomes despot when the real monarch no longer reigns. There is no department of American life that needs the influence of academic training as does the newspaper world. It is not hard to imagine a time, not far distant, when journalism will be a profession which requires a university training and has some code of ethics not hedged about by the dollars received in advertising; or corruptible by the purchasers and stiflers of public opinion.

week night unless it is to the theatre, or some other place where there is a good fat admission. Now of course such rules are all very good for the theatre proprietor, but it makes dates come too high during the week, and is not fair to the college man of limited means. Then the rules committee should define just how low the price limit can go or some of the cheap ones will soon be ringing in the nickle shows—indeed if they have not done it already.
Again the time of the year has rolled around when the annual story appears in all the papers in regard to the University getting the $20,000 claim through congress.
With Newbold to lead the track team and Hagerman to coach it the men should find no trouble in getting plenty of wind for the long distance runs.

PLAY NEBRASKA TOMORROW
Jayhawkers in good Shape for two Lincoln Games.
Tomorrow night the Jayhawkers will play the Cornhuskers at Lincoln Nebraska. The team will leave tonight. Seven men, manager Lansdon and Carl Rouse will make the trip. Coach Allen is unable to go on account of his work in Kansas City.
The lineup of the Jayhawkers will be changed against the Nebraskans in order to better handle Walsh, the speedy Cornhusker forward. Johnson will be switched to guard, McCune and Long will play the forwards and Bergen and Heizer will go in at center. "Phog" Allen says that Bell will not be able to hold a candle to either Long or McCune. Martindell will take the trip but probably will not play on account of his injured finger.
These games do not count toward the championship. All division championship games are played between the 3 and 22 of February.
