Reynolds_ Lloyd Ruppenthal!_ Business Manager THE STADIUM-UNION DRIVE That "the people in authority it the State of Kansas have resolved that nothing shall prevent the University of Kansas from assuming its proper place in relation to this great commonwealth" was the significant statement made by Chancellor Lindley in his convocation speech Tuesday morning, in paving the way for the memorial campaign drive which to be started among the summer session students next week. In order that the University may assume its proper place in the educational scheme of Kansas, the first step was to build a great stadium to care for the continually increasing crowds which throng Lawrence during the football season. Associated with this has been the project for n Student Union building. It is now the time for the previously unsolicited summer session students to show that they too want to see a stadium and a Union building on the campus. That the Stadium is a necessity in a foregone conclusion, but why the summer session students should contribute to a Union building is not clearly understood by some. The plans for the Student Union building, which is to be constructed just north of Dyche Museum, specify that the entire third floor is to be used as a dormitory for the use of alumni, friends and former students of the university when they return to Lawrence during Commencement week. Home-Coming day, or other important period, when they find it impossible to find a room in the local hotels. The second floor is to be devoted to small kitchenettes for the use of students who, wanting to prepare a small spread for a few friends, do not wish to incur the expense of any similar place in Lawrence. The first floor is to be used for an auditorium. Any student who has been here for any length of time knows that this is a very imperative need of the University. On this floor also will be found lounging rooms stricly for men and for women. In the history of the University of Kansas no student or alumnus had until this year ever been asked to contribute to any general campaign for the benefit of the entire University. As a result the average contribution of the entire student body when the campaign was put on last winter was about $55. Will you do your part to make the summer session campaign a success? —C. M. G. HAY FEVER It is the irony of fate, surely, which causes this malady to fasten itself upon those who take the keenest pleasure in out-of-door life. They are forced to forego many of the delights which the late summer affords and conceal themselves behind doors and windows closed against the possible admission of a minute particle of the mischief-making pollen. A famous general once remarked that he would rather meet, alone, an armed regiment of the enemy than come within fifty yards of a single goldenrod plant in August. His feeling in the matter is doubtless shared by thousands of co-sufferers who look forward to the advent of the hay fever season with a fear that rises to the point of freenzy when the first symptoms of the seizure appear. It was considered a sign of super- sensitivity and fineness of constitution to be subject to annual visitations of hay fever. For this reason there were those who rather prided themselves on the fact that they belonged to the select few who received yearly calls from this discriminating enigma. So democratic has the distress become, however, that the red nose and the watery eye are no longer the insignia of aristocracy, but are displayed by all classes with equal grace. So hay fever has been relegated from its position in the inner circle of society to the rank and file of undesirables and is now accepted at its face value as a public nuisance—L. M. H1. THE SPIRIT OF STADIUM GIFTS O. Henry once gave a beggar a coin. After passing on a short distance the beggar, believing there had been a mistake, hastened back to O. Henry and say, "Inquiring, you gave me a twenty- dollar goldpiece!" "I can't help it," said O. Henry. "that was all I had." That incident was an example of charity. On every college campus are beautiful buildings that have been donated in the name of philanthropy. But when the donor's name and biography occupy conspicuous places on the portals the opinion is justified that a less worthy motive prompted the giving than caused the heart of the tramp to be gladdened by O. Henry's humanity. Contributions toward building the stadium are to be asked of summer session students. In comparison with the aggregate sum, individual subscriptions will be so small that the contributors may regard themselves as well anonymously. No direct recompense for contributions is offered. Each must find his reward in the satisfaction the giving brings to the giver. Many a book-dressing boy, deceyed o Lawrence by the Stadium's appeal his play instincts, will unconciously and pleasantly find himself on the highway that leads upward. perhaps his experience will lead other boys to realize that the spirit of unselfishness which is building the Stadium must not be permitted to perish.-J. J. O. MIXING SLEEP WITH WORK In these times of hurry and bustle the problem of sleep becomes a very important one. Some have endeavored to solve the problem by mixing sleep with their daily tasks. Among college students there are so many affairs, educational and otherwise, that be looked after during the day, that when night comes, the assignment still remains. Then begins the fight between the assignment and the claims of sleep. This struggle generally ends in compromise, in which the student is often more generous than the instructor in cutting the assignment short. In considering those who insist on mixing their sleep with their waking hours, it is often a debatable question whether they are awake or only walking in their sleep. This form of sleep is accompanied with numerous difficulties. The sleeper who roams at large on the crowded streets of any city is very apt to be rudely awakened by the bump of an approaching car and even if he immediately takes a reclining position, the car is bound to make a lot of rocket in passing over, which is very disturbing even to the soundest sleeper. Sleeping in church either in mixed or definite manner is not nearly so dangerous and is a regular procedure among many of the best practitioners. However, it is very bad form to seize in church, especially during the quiet intervals of the service, as it attracts attention from the minister and keeps the rest of the congregation awake. The university classroom is not nearly so adaptable to sleep for various reasons. It is true that the services conducted by some of the instructors are often far superior to those of the minister in their lulling effect. However, the professor does not seem to approve of this form for expressing enjoyment of his lectures. Many of them are given to asking questions and often insist on having the person called on awakened in order that he may give the question proper consideration. And then again there is the possibility that the professor may say something of importance. On the whole it does not seem practicable to depend upon the classroom for any great amount of sleep; and yet some of the students after remaining here for several years have become very proficient in choosing the classes best suited for snatching a few hours of rest. Some have even taken the same course a second time. However, as long as some persons persist in being very much awake during their working hours, the rest of us must at least be very careful in choosing the time and place in which we mix our sleep with our daily tasks. C. L. Y. We read so often of trolley car motormotor sticking to their posts after hope of avenging the attack has been abandoned that we wonder whether they should be decorated for bravery or treated for paralysis. A apropos of the present noticeable decrease of thefts and other crimes in Kansas City, it may be remarked that prosperous folks take their vacations about this time of the year. The old ascetic wearers of the haircloth shirt had nothing on the modern slave of fashion who promenades in a bright wool sweater when the mercury is playing around 105. The Physics clock seems to be the only thing on the Hill that has more energy in summer than in winter. An "A" student, says the flunker, is one who always agrees with the instructor. An artistic soul would be a comfortable asset these days. Sitting in the cool shade of a campus tree painting landscapes bats laborious notetaking in a heated lecture room, as a summer pastime. What has become of the old-fashioned fat man who carried an umbrella and palm-leaf fan from July to September? Another of Chicago's political bosses has been murdered. The sawed-off shot gun seems to have been adopted as a necessary factor in Chicago's political machine. Charles Gray Shaw, Ph.D., says. "Love may be the sixth sense." Perhaps he is right, but the sixth sense generally disappears when a man at last regains his original five. One successful student in the School of Law is known to have a gold-lettered sign bearing the words, "Attorney at Law" hung above the door of his "office" on the floor of a fraternity house. Why do the cartoonists persist in pictureng teachers in the garf of fifty years ago when many of the profession now wear skirts as short and those as thin as their sisters in other callings? Wouldn't it be a joy if Shakespeare had only written his plays in slang. Random Paragraphs on Topics of No Great Importance About Mount Oread The Symposium NEDLE—AWARD Winner There is one girl in the University who intends to buy a new watch as soon as possible. The other day she knew what time it was, so she hurried up to a group of four friends and asked one of the girls in the party. The girl glanced at her waist watch and began talking to her companions. Girl number one turned to a man in the group and asked him the time. He took out his watch, looked at it abstractly and added his bit to the topic under discussion. Turning to a third member of the group, the girl *zinp* grab her question. The third member slowly pulsed out his watch and as slowly put it back, nodding his head meanwhile in agreement with something which had just been said. In despair the girl waited, "I'm anyone else?" She asked the three members of the group turned to her and said, "I told you the time ten minutes ago."—M. M. NEEDED—AWRIST WATCH My Pet Hobby Is— SEVERAL THINGS--WHAT'S YOURS? The other day a man asked me what my pet hobby was and not having thought much about it, I tried to decide what said hobby could be. And I didn't think this is about the most elusive sport, just 'it for your life.' When I started huntin' a baby! decided that it must surely be swimming, as that is most probable this time of the year, but when I figured as to why it would swim in water it must play tennis and play tennis most every afternoon and go swimming to cool off. Then I thought that tennis must be the object of my quest but that was all wrong again because I play tennis to get a relief from being the object that studying it can be caused by assignments on my school work. Then I noticed that it was time to eat, that being one of my most regular habits and pleasures, so I just decided that finding a hobby was the most elusive pastime. Thus, my favorite hobby is just living a normal life filled with as many habits as there are fruits in a mine pie—a W. N. W. A. G.
