WE MUST BEAT OKLAHOMA.
Bennie Owens has long cherished an idea that his aggregation of Oklahomans could wipe up the earth with the Jayhawkers. The long series of successive defeats has tended somewhat to free him from this delusion but it has in no way dampened the ardor with which he points the Sooners to beat his Alma Mater.
Next Saturday the best team that Oklahoma has ever had will line up against the men of Kansas. Last year the struggle ended with the Jayhawkers barely hanging on to the long end of a 2 to 0 score. This year Oklahoma has started well and beat Washburn 37 to 0 and we were able a week later to defeat the same team by a 14 to 6 score. Last Saturday the Owen's crew put an erimp in Missouri's hopes by tagging a 14 to 6 game. And this same team has been training in Columbia all week preparatory to the Kansas game.
The struggle next, Saturday is perhaps the most important in many respects of any during the year. The new football machine that Coach Sherwin has constructed will be tried out. If it is a success it will be retained. If Kansas can roll up a good score against a team that has beaten Missouri we ought to have some hopes of adding another kink in the Tigers' tail. The Sooners are a fast bunch and the contest with them should prove valuable. We must beat Oklahoma.
A SANE MOVE
In direct line with the practical economy that is constantly being urged at the University, is the attempt of the Pan-Hellenic to abolish the fraternity spring parties.
The action by the Greek letter societies came from the members themselves who recognize in the large expenditures made on spring parties each year, an unnecessary wasting of money.
Each year has seen an increase in the lavishness of the parties and the idea of trying to outdo the other fraternity has so permeated every society that a halt had to be called.
The action of the Pan-Hellenic is characteristic of the attitude of
the people of Kansas towards matters of simple economy. Their attempts to save a wasting of money will be appreciated over the state and it is pleasing that the members themselves were the first to appreciate the situation.
No doubt father will give his unqualified support to the movement.
The University certainly ought to be solid now with the people over the state. The organization of a horseshoe pitching team by the Industrial Chemists forms a bond of union between the college and the proletariat that will act for the benefit of everyone. President Waters thought he would slip into the good graces of the people of Kansas by advocating the revival of hog killin' day but the University beat him to it.
FROM OTHER COLLEGES
One of the hardest worked players in "Hearts and Diamonds," a comedy that will be staged by the students at Drake University this winter, is the little brindle bull pup belonging to Coach Griffith of the football team. The pup has been at the rehearsals regularly and has learned his part to perfection. All that he has to do in the entire show is to look ugly, and no false teeth or hair would make his makeup more perfect.
The pup is not content with his minor part, however, and insists on working between cues. On one occasion he hauled a chair out of the auditorium and now the members of the janitors who would have him clear the floor for use on special occasions.
At the University of California, it was found that the members of the freshman rugby foot ball team rank far above the total number of freshmen eligible for the team, in success in their studies. Over 30 per cent of the members of the football team had no deficiencies and of the other freshmen, only 30 per cent were without marks against them.
TALKED TO JOURNALISTS
In the lecture before the newspaper classes yesterday on "How an Editor is Benefitted by a Knowledge of the 'Back Office,'" J. D. Rickman, superintendent of the department of printing at the Kansas State Agricultural College, said that an editor is severely handicapped in many ways by an ignorance of the mechanical department of a newspaper.
Editors Should Know About Their 'Back Offices.' — Rickman.
Speaking particularly from the country newspaper-man's standpoint, Mr. Rickman said that a knowledge of the art of printing on the part of the editor, solves many of the labor problems which are caused by lack of co-operation between the "front" and "back" offices. If the editor can "stick" type he is able to throw off his coat and go to work, when necessary, to "get the sheet out on time." It is also valuable to an editor to be able to intelligently estimate the cost of job work because this is an important class of work in the ordinary country office.
"You can get more instructor in English and punctuation in setting type, than you can in any class room where English is taught," said Mr. Rickman in his closing remarks. "For this reason, if for no other, such a training is valuable." The University will commence classes in the Art of Printing when the new equipment for the printing office arrives.
TO ASSIST MAC MILLANS
Prof. Dunlap Will Edit "Henry The Eighth."
