We dare 'cm!
After the shellacking given their team by Nebraska's Cornhuskcrs Satur
day, Kansas university students, or at least a few of them, have addressed
open letters to their chancellor, Deane W. Mallott, asking the university ad
ministration to "do something to uphold our honor on the gridiron."
Circulated anonymously, probably in the fear that the initiators would
be reprimanded, the letter said that "if we can't meet the standards of
other schools in the conference. . .let's give up football."
Words of wisdom, these. Indeed, the writers must have thought long
and carefully before penning them. Yea, they must have investigated, and
probed into every angle of football at Kansas and in the Big Six.
If they had really stopped to think, they would have come to other con
clusions than the ones that led them to write what they did.
In the first place, what do these writers mean by "standards?" Ne
braska standards are strictly amateur and any time any Jayhawk student
would like to ride up and investigate, he will be free to ferret and uncover
to his heart's content. Collectively, we don't like the implication.

Heartening decision
The action of the Mexican government Monday in cancelling a large oil
concession granted the week previously to Japanese interests should strengthen
hemispheric defenses and solidarity if that cancellation was promoted with
the honesty and sincerity that the Mexican government claims.
Mexico, long suspected of being a hotbed of fascist sentiment and fifth
column activity, evidences what seems to be a sincere desire to rid herself of
anti-American elements. At least official Mexico announces such a policy.
Mexican president Cardenas was quoted as saying his government can-,
celled the Japanese grant even though United States firms had refused to sell
Mexico's petroleum industry badly needed equipment for the repair of sev
erul refineries. If true, Mexico's sincerity can't be seriously attacked.
At any rate, the Mexican declaration of fact and policy is heartening.
A large country, and one so close to our own, Mexico would be a powder
horn of revolt against western world peace if its government became in
timidated to fascist influence.
