--much they will beat us" are common expressions to be heard. Is this the proper attitude? What the University of Kansas needs is to have losing teams for several years in succession. Probably when we would have a winning team its efforts would be appreciated.

ARE YOU A QUITTER?
Are all the students at the University quitters? From the chapel platform and from the world outside our University life we hear remarks relative to the position that college spirit should take in our college life. It is assumed that at any institution such as we have there would be no difficulty in arousing students to action when it is in support of one of their athletic teams. The very fact, perhaps, that college spirit is an expected thing seems to make each University student think that he does not need to show spirit, that the other fellow will display enough enthusiasm. It is this shifting of enthusiasm to the other fellow that accounts for the present status of the support that our athletic representatives are given.
The baseball season has been unfortunate. The uncertainty of the eligibility of the players, and later the changing of the schedule have tended to make the season not wholly a success. But under the circumstances, Kansas has played a good game and has a good team. But in no way was it due to the support it received from the student body.
But in track athletics the attitude of the great majority of the student body is deplorable. Kansas has had a success in track within the past two years of which she ought to be proud. The track team this year is the best the University has had in years. The meet at Nebraska last Saturday was lost by a close margin because of several unfortunate circumstances. Coach Hamilton says that we are due to win next Saturday and that, with an even break of luck we will win. The seeming feeling of apathy among the students in regard to the meet next Saturday does not bespeak a very high degree of college spirit.

The interscholastic track meet held last Saturday is one of the best advertisements the University has ever had. Over two hundred athletes from all part of the state were here, and what the University has to offer was given a thorough inspection. We must recognize that it is from such as those who were our visitors last week that we must recruit our students for the coming years.
Within a few days "Songs From the Hill" will be off the press and will be offered for sale. This booklet contains a number of poems by University students and others connected with the University. In no way is the publishing of the book a means for profit and the publishers will give all taken in above actual cost towards an annual prize. "Songs From The Hill" is essentially a University production and those who are in charge should have no trouble in disposing of the volumes. In all

having interschool debates is a good one. The thorough preparation and training that the high school students receive cannot but work for a higher degree of efficiency of University debating teams .
The debate for the high school championship in debate last week was a revelation. All of the contestants displayed a knowledge of the subject and a platform technique that is hardly surpassed by college debaters. The idea of

probability there will be poems published for the first time in this booklet that will become famous and in years to come those who do not possess a copy will regret that they did not get one while they were available. In view of the fact that there is in no way any element of graft connected with the issuing of the volume, "Songs From the Hill" ought to receive an unqualified welcome from all the students.
