OUT OF THE PAST
Fifteen years ago last night, the pall of smoke began to life from the twisted battle fields of France. Quiet settled down to soothe the shattered nerves of soldiers, while time began dimming the hateful picture.
Yesterday, Armistice was again celebrated, raising the curtain that the years had draped over the war scene. Thousands of soldiers all over the world were reminded of the horrors of war, and the happiness of peace. Memories, some more than half lost, others stamped indelibly in their minds, must have come crowding to the surface of their consciousness.
A wild flight from Rheims on a stolen motorcycle and with a bottle of cognac in each pocket . . . a tailor-made cigarette after a night on patrol . . . the night lying in the sweet smelling straw on an abandoned French farm . . . the box from the States and the problem of thanking the senders for the home knitted socks or mittens.
Fortunately, time mercifully buries the episodes of war that turned the blood of these men to water and froze their souls with fear. Yet it is this anasthetic property of time, which allows Mars to go on stirring the hearts of men with the promise of glorious war.
A lot of college students should be taught the use of a pushbroom or a shovel. They'll need to know some day.
A THREAT PASSES
Parties opposed to the construc-
tion of an unsightly water tower
near the west end of the campus
have succeeded, by protest and
petition, in getting the city commis-
sion to agree to change the
site of the tower if taxpayers wil
buy the lot the city has purchased
between the Chi Omega and
Gamma Phi Beta houses.
By erecting the tower on the site purchased, the city would in no way have benefited the University, which has its own water supply. In fact, the water tower would be nothing but an eyesore as far as the campus and residential district west of the campus are concerned.
Since the students and citizens have been successful in dealing with the city commission to the extent of getting that body to change the location of this offensive structure, under certain conditions, the taxpayers should not hesitate to comply with these conditions, and thus conclude the affair to the satisfaction of everyone.
Y. W. C. A. SEEKS AID
Many hands are employed in framing and guiding the extra-curricular activities of the University. Among them is the Y.W.C.A., and few suspect the number and the variety of projects that this organization handles.
Contrary to the apparent surmise of the student body, the speakers who appear at Universi-
ity convocations and forums do not come uninvited and at their own expense. Neither does the K book magically appear at the fall enrollment and without someone's effort and money. When students seek the aid of the loan fund, its directors do not reach into a supernatally filled treasury for the money. Campus traditions are not preserved by their own power. "Campus Sisters" do not simply appear at the opening of school for the benefit of unacquainted freshman women.
Life may have been simpler in the ancient days of Greece when the gracious goddess Athena took compassion on men, or when the mighty god Zeus provided for his favorites. But practicality rules today. The Y. W. C. A. is one organization performing functions which in mythology are attributed to the gods.
Ultimately, however, the students are the source of its power. This week the Y. W. C. A. is conducting a financial drive to replenish its treasury so that these activities may continue. Without student aid the functions that everyone thought were established necessities will cease to exist.
The pertinent question to consider in regard to contributing toward this fund is, "Can the student body afford to allow such projects as the Y. W. C. A. sponsors to die?"
College education is like a model T Ford; you go faster downhill than you do up.
REVOLUTIONARY WAVES
Bearing out the simile of a current proverb about Cuba which says, "Cuba is a cork; it always floats," Wednesday's disruption of law and order in that nation shows it to be tossing on the waters of revolution again. This time the turbulent waters batter against a new government, only a few months old, but one which stands on the principle of "Cuba for Cubans."
For with the coming of the Grau San Martin regime into power last August, Cuba passed into the hands of its youth movement which, according to Carleton Beals (in the November issue of Scribner's) is "a new generation determined to renovate Cuban life on the broader basis of social and economic justices and insistent upon full Cuban autonomy."
Grau Sun Martin is himself a university professor. The element creating the turbulence this time is the De Cespedes group, a part of the youth movement, trying to regain the position of power it held between the Machado dictatorship and the present regime.
It appears that Cuba is now under the rule that will offer the greatest opportunity for nationalistic development, which will bring for her accompanying benefits of social and economic growth.
College must have a softening influence on most students, because most of them are looking for soft jobs.
The students Thursday night in the campus problems speaking contest who chose the activity fee as their topic unanimously agreed that our education consists of something more than just learning a vocation. We are here to learn how to live, and that should mean to gain some understanding of subjects other than those in which we happen to specialize.
Campus Opinion
The concerts and lectures are offered to us this year at very reduced rates because of the activity fee. Here is an opportunity to come in contact with some of the finest artists today. Where else in the United States could we
Editor Daily Kansan:
Rosa Ponselle for 18 cents? The concerts themselves amount to 72 cents. Dean Swarthout is depending upon individual ticket holders for half of the receipts. The amount which he receives from the fees is only half enough to pay the renowned artists whom he is bringing to our campus. If he turned over the entire auditorium to students and allowed them to sit where they pleased the best seats would be taken immediately and the individual ticket

STUDENT DIRECTORIES
A few minutes later he was reading German sentences to the students for the day.
W. A. A.:
Dr. Engel had carefully explained to his German I laboratory class that they were to use only the simplest of words in the construction of their first German sentences for the next class period. "I want you to learn to crawl before you walk," Dr. Engel had explained in trying to impress upon the class the idea of simplicity.
LAURA ALICE CUNNINGHAM, President.
holders who pay many times the price we do would not have as good seats. Supposing he did open up all of the so-called choice seats and after these were filled, 2000 of us would be in the same place as we are under the present arrangement.
Student directories may be obtained at the Registrar's office mornings and afternoons. Students should get their copies as soon as possible.
Ad Lindsey rules the KU, saddel like a monarch of old. He is not interfered with by Dr. Allen. On the contrary Dr. Allen and Mike Getto lend every possible assistance to coach the team as Ad desires it to be coached. I would suggest that P. W., and the rest of the pool room quarterbacks and coaches drop down and watch a practice or two. It might teach them not to write articles on subjects of which they know nothing. A football player.
the Dean used only the money received from the activity fees in planning the concert series, the performers would have to be of mediocre quality. We have always had the very best in musical entertainment on our campus hope we always shall. But a free seating offer is a change for the worse in the quality of the artists, and that is the reason why the present plan is used.
W.A.A. will meet Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 15, at 4:30. All members please be present.

GEORGE O. FOSTER, Registrar.
Editor Daily Kansan:
When someone who signs his name P. W. said in Campus Opinion of Nov. 10 that "too many cooks spoil the broth" and applied it to football he was right. However, the error in his logic is that he and not Phog Allen is the person who represents the type of individual who knows off about something of which he knows nothing and is the cause of most trouble in the football and outside world.
rapidly-spoken one at a freshman on the back row. "I'm sorry, Dr. Engel," came the reply in lieu of a translation, "but I couldn't follow you. I wish you would crawl for a while."
Black marks, the punishment received by misbewailing sorority pledges, are well-known by a certain pledge. The other day the sisters were surprised to see her working very industriously in her room. When asked what she was doing, he proudly asserted, "I'm getting a white mark."
A young rebel, evidently disgusted with things as he found them, recently discovered a way of giving vent to his pain. "I don't believe they" couldn't do anything about it.
On the walk running past Oread High School he had written "Hooye" in bold chalk letters. A little further up the walk "Burk" had been inscribed in the same emphatic manner.
If he was expressing himself concern.
ing the present educational system, so we suspect he wan, there's probably a lot of students on the Hill that will agree with him.
Some ambitious artist has recently attempted to beautify the University by adding original touches to the bust of Amos A. Lawrence, benefactor of the University, in Central Administration building. Youth is again blossoming in the museum, and there are a cherry red. From the locks of the work, it was done by feminine hands.
