CULMINATION OF A VIC TORY IN ATHLETICS
It is told of a great Shakespearean actor that one day when he was playing the role of Macbeth, he became so wrought up and excited in his theme that unconsciously he ascended to the furtherest heights of tragic passion and when the climax to his part came he was unable to exceed his former efforts. And so the unfortunate actor at the time when he should have done his best was able to be only mediocre.
The student body now knows how the tragedian felt when he was unable, in one great burst of pent-up passion, to make a fitting climax to his efforts. There should have been something held in reserve by the student body in order that such a monumental and epoch-breaking event as the track victory over the Tigers might be made the culmination of things athletic at the University this year. Already in celebrating two Missouri Valley championships, however, the faithful followers of the Jayhawkers have fairly exceeded themselves and are now unable to rise to the needs of the case.
The girls of the University are taking even more interest in the Student Government idea than the boys, and the girls election promises to be an interesting and a hard fought one. It now seems certain that the student councils will be successes and by the time that school gets fairly started next fall the two councils should be in good running order. The Law school will very likely elect delegates to the men's council as soon as the residence requirement of officers is lowered from five to three semesters, or is done entirely away with. The majority of the students are anxious and willing to make any necessary concessions to the Laws in order that the council may be a success and the present council should make haste and settle the whole matter before school closes.
And then what a fitting way for Coach Hagerman to end his track connection with the University! After three years of constant and persistent hard work he has at last accomplished the task he set out to perform and that in the last track meet in which he will ever direct the Jayhawkers on McCook field.
Why is it, we rise to enquire that all the girls attending the carnival at night wear a sheepish and hunted expression on their faces? Can it be that the co-eds have already developed a consciousness of right and wrong concerning week-night dates as a result of the girls constitution?
