Can the new respect and admiration for Center college, which stepped so triumphantly from oblivion into athletic supremacy, be completely ig- nored? Surely'the brilliant showing of this dimin- utive college signifies more than a stroke of luck. No indeed.-The fact that a university does achieve the "honor and glory" of athletic success is, in itself, generally sufficient proof of the spirit of service and loyalty to fully justify it. Even though Professor Sleator challenges this spirit of obligation to one's alma mater, he must admit there. is no greater justification of the fidelity to friends, coun- try, or religion. b ANNUAL SALE- STATIONERY Saturday Jan. 10 GRAHAM'S BOTH ENDS OF DIAGONAL WALK I,.

A MENTAL CRUTCH Too many students use their notebooks as a men- tal crutch. Instruction in some classes has come to mean an attentive' ear and a freely flowing foun- tain pen rather than a careful consideration and weighing of the facts and theories presented. It is ' so easy to become a sort of stenographer and to translate ideas into words into a notebook without thought. Then when examination time comes, a few hours cramming place them into the mind long enough that they may again be transcribed into a quiz book and then straightway forgotten. To get the real value out of a lecture or class discussion is to listen with the mind as well as with the ear, examining and concluding, and writing into the notebook just enough to start the same process of thinking again when the mind is confronted with the notations taken. The best notebooki is merely a shorthand report of what has been recorded in the mind.-The Daily Kansan. S What's 'in a name? The Philadelphian banker who will head the organization of Quakers in dis- tributing food to Europe's hungry is called Alfred Scattergood. As the Indiana humorist so adequately expressed it, where it used to be a disgrace to get drunk it now is an achievement.
