A WRONG SPIRIT
A large number of the students at the Kansas State Agricultural college are certainly lacking in that element of respect and courtesy that ought to be shown by one opponent for another. For years there has always been the keenest rivalry between the two large state institutions but the actions of many of the Farmer rooters at the game last Saturday displayed a low degree of sportsmanship that ought not exist in any institution that has passed the high school stage. When the University band appeared on the field and marched before the Aggie rooting contingent, they were greeted with jeers, cat-calls and hisses and the bleachers continued to use these marks of disrespect toward the team throughout the game. We know that the better class of K. S. A. C. stuents look with disfavor upon the disrespectful actions of some of the rooters, but it is a pity that in any state school there should be any number of students who are so blinded by prejudice that they cannot distinguish between school loyalty and rowdyism.
Another instance of the wide spread influence and far reaching effect of the University of Kansas is called to mind by the dedication last night of the new University at Rosedale. Not satisfied with exercising a guidance over the intellectual and moral life of the people of Kansas, it extends its work so as to embrace the physical well being of the people With the erection of the addition to the Bell Memorial hospital there comes a haven into which the sick and needy of the state may come for relief. Civilization has outgrown the idea that disease is non-combatable and the building of hospitals in which
sickness and deformity may be cared for, emphasizes that "we are physically as well as morally our brother's keeper."
The Drakers are going to get us if we don't watch out. At the Iowa school they are having a joyous time counting by tens their victory over Coe college last Saturday and can hardly wait for a chance at Kansas. "B. Kansas" is still the favorite and they are coming down in great numbers to support their team. It will take some good, consistent rooting together with fine team work to beat the Iowans, but it can be done. Now then all together. We must beat Drake!
The game with the Aggies was one of surprises. Coach Sherwin says the University team was the surprise in that they failed to use any of the football knowledge that he has been giving them for the past month. Coach Lowman says his team was the surprise, in that they showed unexpected form against the Jayhawkers. No matter where the surprise was, the game was a good one and was a struggle between men who knew football.
THE VALUE OF STUDIES
President Lowell, of Harvard, has recently made a careful inquiry into the comparative value of various college studies for men entering professional schools. He has taken the college studies in Harvard and the Harvard Law and Medical schools as a basis for his study. He says: "In so far as the acquired attitude depends upon familiarity with the subject matter, it (knowledge) can be transferred little, in at any in so far as it rests upon methods of thought, in other words upon mental processes, it can be transferred to a considerable extent wherever the same methods are applicable; and finally, in so far as it is based on general principles of work, or what is perhaps the same thing, upon a general moral attitude, upon such qualities as diligence, persistence and intensity of effort, it can be transferred almost indelibly.
Too Much Stress Land on The Subject
Dividing the college courses into four divisions, (a) Natural science, (b) Literature and Language, (c) History and Political Science, and (d) Philosophy and Mathematics, he finds that the number of those who took at least six courses in any one of these four departments who entered the graduate schools and afterwards received a cum laude degree, is rationally the same, no matter in what department the individual took college work. One exception obtains, however; those studied mathematics in college did better work in law. He concludes: "We have laid too much stress on the subject and too little on the excellence of the work and on the rank obtained."—The Oberlin Review.
Former Gridiron Star Following Teams Career.
The condition of Tommy Johnson, who is ill at the Rosedale hospital, has slightly improved during the last week. The final consultation to determine the exact cause of his illness has not yet been held, but it is very probable that an operation will be performed sometime this week. Tommy seems to be feeling much better in spirit and shows a great deal of interest in this year's football team and the results of Coach Sherwin's tactics. Thus far he has followed the games very closely and, when talking of "the boys" and their prospects, shows the old time fighting spirit. It will not be able to determine when he can leave the hospital until the results of his operation are known.

What has caused the Athletic Management to change the plan it had last year of reserving the section adjoining the band-stand for the girls? The boys have the rooters' section reserved for them, and they also take up the greater part of the rest of the bleachers. Damage has been done by the sparks and ashes of the boy's cigarettes falling on the girls' dresses. Why can not this section be again reserved for the Co-eds? They will not be able to get any good seats at all for the big games if some such plan is not adopted.

DEBATING COUNCIL MEETS
Elects Officers And Selects Dates For Tryouts.
At a meeting of the Debating Council yesterday afternoon, officers were elected for the coming year. They are: President, William Hughes, secretary, M.D. Baer, corresponding secretary, Professor Gesell, business manager, W.T. Griffin.
Kansas this year will be in a triangular debate with Colorado and Oklahoma and a vote on the questions submitted by these schools was taken and were forwarded to them today. Missouri will not submit a question until October 28. It was decided to have the same system of tryouts for debate this year as last, and as soon as the question is picked notice will be given. The first tryout will be on Tuesday evening November 21 and will be an elimination contest. A second and final tryout will be held on December 12 at which time the squad will be chosen and from these Professor Gesell will choose the debaters.
The outlook for a good debating team this year is exceedingly bright. At least forty men have signified their intention to come out.
