Educational Idea

Athletics seems to be a source
of constant worry to university
and college authorities. They
are always talking about ways
to regulate ito keep it in its
proper subordinate place in the
educational program. The
trouble is that the public won't
consider it subordinate. Not
only the perpetual rah-rah boys,
a numerous and noisy element
among the alumni, but the grav-
stand most important citizens
take more interest in the alma
matters half-backs than in her
sciences and liberal arts.
So if a conscientious president
backed by a conscientious faculty
tries to put curb on intercol-
legiate sport, ruling off the team
athletes who are not diligent in
their books, a loud howl of pro-
test rends the air. His pro-
fessors might be a company of
drones, and his library and
laboratories might go nigh to
ruin, and few people would ever
know it. But let the eleven
lose three games in succession,
and his institution is eternally
disgraced. Gray-haired old
grads, with tears in their eyes,
have told me how ''humiliated"
they were by a Thanksgiving
Day defeat.
1t is all very well to say that
these childish complaints should
be ignored. But they can't be
ignored. For the colleges.
whether they be state-supported
or privately endowed, depend
upon the continuing zeal and
loyalty of the alumni, They
can't afford to offend the public
that sends them students and
provides them money. So they
have to content themselves with
compromise. They make the
best shift they can, by means
of one-year rules, scholastic re-
quirements, Limitation upon
absences, and other restrictive
devices, to preserve learning
amid the hulIabaloo of intercol-
legiate sport.
Now, my solution is this:
Let every institution have a
school of athletics as one of its
branches, just as it has a school
Of law, a school of medicine, a
school of commerce, and 50 on.
This school of athletics will take
over the duty--and pleasure
of representing the institution
in all intercollegiate athletic con-
tests.

HALE INTO COURT
OWNERS OF CARS
PARKED ON GRASS
Police First Warn People Who
Violate Rules, Then Sum
mon Them to Trial
MAYOR MERCIFUL so FAR

The police, with the coopera-
ton of the University authori-
ties, are making a vigorous cam
paign to prevent the parking of
automobiles on the campus
lawns.
= 1t is vigorous but not violent.
Under orders from Mayor
Council the officers make a soft
and courteous approach to vio-
latOrs of the law, giving a warn
ing before they make an arrest.
Cancellation is the word. The
idea is not to catch car-Owners
and punish them but to educate
and persuade them into keeping
their cars off the forbidden
spaces.
But when fair words fail
then the wheels of justice have
to turn. Two persons who had
disregarded warnings were
summoned before the mayor day
before yesterday and each was
fined ST and costs. The 81 be-
ing enc 50th of the fine which
the mayor might have imposed
if he had gone the limit allowed
by the parking ordinance. One
Of the culprits was woman.
She wept, saying this was the
first time she had ever been in
trouble with the law. But the
police had record showing that
her car had been tagged twice
by way of warning.
The University has set aside
ample parking spaces. Cars
may be left in the square be-
tween the Playmakers Theatre
and Saunders, to the rear of Pea
body,to the rear Of South build
ing, between the Y. M. G.. A. and
Memorial Hall, by the library,
Alumni, and Person, on the
Raleigh road, and on the south
side of Cameron avenue for
most of its length through the
campus. They may not be le-
gally left on the north side of
Cameron avenue, on the lawns,
or at place where anti-parking
signs are posted.
The first time a car is found
in a prohibited place the police
leave a copy of the ordinance
in it, so that fhe owner may be
made aware of his offense. The
number of the car is taken, and
the next time it is found where
it ought not to be the police
leave red tag which summons
the owner into court.

 There are two candidates for that position, J. J. Connors. for. mer mayor of this city and pio- neer of Seward Peninsula, and James c. Virdin, of Ketchikan. Other members of the Divisional ticket that has been filed are: Allen Shattuck, Juneau. Nels Ar. derson, Douglas. A. H.

 All Well Known
 All five of the candidates are widely known in the Division. Mr Walker was his party's candidate for Senator in the 1924 election, losing to Forest J. Hunt, ketchi- kan. by narrow margin. The latter is again a candidate for the Republican nomination, opposed by Representative Charles Ben iamin of Wrangell, and may again be MT. Walkers opponent.

This precluded correcting the defective declarations by tele- graph or by power of attorney.
 In order to meet the emergency, three more local men were in- duced to file for delegates. To take the place of those whose de- clarations had been declared in valid, H. J. Turner. Allen Shat tuck and j. r. Mcdonald filed declarations today. This makes six Juneau Democrats who are candidates for delegates to the Houston convention, the others being s. Hellenthal James Me Closkey and John W. Troy.
 This does not mean. however, that the other Divisions will not have representation. This was the only method to meet the emer- gency that had arisen,' declared ]. J. Connors, local leader. ''it was vital to the party in the Ter fitory that it have six candidates for the seats tO which it is en- titled in the national convention. And the only way we could get them under the circumstances was to have local Democrats file in place of those whose declarations were rejected.
