YELLOW CAMPUS
The fight is on. The Yellow Peril is sweeping across the campus. Every nook, cranny, flowerbed and grass plot is succumbing to the demon, dandelion.
Students are indifferent to the menace. In their psuedo-blase fashion they ignore the dramatic conflict and, incidentally, an opportunity for personal gain.
Really, the campus is a mess, with innumerable splotches of yellow weeds marring an otherwise beautifully conceived landscape. If every student would take it upon himself to cut five of the miserable little plants, the campus would in a short time regain its original appearance.
Wilted dandelions are good for several things but as long as the plant remains in the ground it is of no earthly good. For example, houses that find themselves hard put to it to provide a balanced diet within the limits of their budget could cook a bushel or so of dandelion greens. Old timers tell us that dandelions are far superior to spinach.
Suggestions and recipes about dandelions will be gratefully received at this office and perhaps printed.
And then again, one could look up grandmother's recipe for dandelion wine. When properly prepared the beverage is an excellent substitute for drinks that bear more intriguing titles—so we have been told.
A Phi Beta Kappa was recently caught saying "disconvenience." What a wonderful influence Amos and Andy have!
INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS
We know that it is easily possible to praise a particular activity or project to such an extent that it becomes tiresome. But no matter how much has been said before, we think it does not come amiss to present another orchid to the program of intramural athletics which is being carried out on this campus.
Intramural athletics bring to the school most of the desirable qualities of school-sponsored athletics, yet do not include the undesirable features of varsity sports. In intramural athletics, competitors are given the opportunity to develop their bodies, but are not compelled to concentrate on their training to the exclusion of their school work—as many varsity athletes are accused of doing. Furthermore, intramural athletics are not commercialized as are varsity athletics. Since they are conducted with very little capital and on a non-profit basis, no subsidization of athletes has yet crept in, nor is it likely to.
The University has one of the most extensive programs of intramural athletics in the country. It includes basketball, playground ball, track, swimming, tennis, handball, horseshoes, turkey run, wrestling, and golf. Under the rules here, any man or woman in the University who has not made a letter in a varsity sport is eligible to compete in the intramural events. The interest shown by students in these athletics is evidenced by the fact that in the basketball tournament fifty-five teams were entered, and 440 players took part.
The men's intramural sport which is now in season here is playground ball. As many as nine games have been played in one evening on the intramural field, and more than a hundred men have participated in them in one evening. It is a wonder that more spectators do not turn out for the games. Perhaps it is because they do not realize that intramurals are as exciting as varsity athletics.
A NEW CONCEPTION
There are two kinds of students. There are those who go to school anticipating a life of frivolity, hoping only to pass enough courses to stay in school. Then there are those of another group who attend college for the serious purpose of learning by hard work and diligent application. The former group often complies with the distorted pictures of college life which the scenario writers and cheap novelists have presented, but the idea that all college students are a rough-talking, hard-drinking band of loose wiscreackers is grounded only in fiction.
If the people who criticize students so severely were to visit the library any week night, their viewpoints might change. There they would see seriousness, they would see diligent inquiring into would see deligent inquiring into text and reference books. If they were to visit the rooms of students they would find them studying. Here they would learn that the greater proportion of college students are serious, that they are purposeful, that they are decent; that they do have good times, but that college life is not one gin party after another.
"The picnic will be held for collecting purposes and for a good time," states a Kansan news story. The mistake, of course, is obvious. The story should have read "collecting porpoises."
COME AGAIN
The past few days the members of the Order of the Eastern Star have been our guests. We have watched them with interest and have tried to make their visit a pleasant one. We hope we have succeeded in some small measure.
Knowing that many of them are mothers of young men and women in our own group adds value to their visit.
Tomorrow they bid us adieu.
We regret that they must go. The campus is always at its best when visitors are around. We hope that they have been impressed, and that some day in the near future they will come again.
"Hard to Place Engineers"—Kansan headline. We always had difficulty in remembering those fellows ourselves.
Campus Opinion
This is in reply to the confused campus opinion of Mr. Denton that appeared in Monday's Kansan, which seemed to attack and want to suppress the most independent policy of the Kansan for some years. If an editorial writer or N.S.F.A. discussions were lacking in spirit and accomplishment, shall we condemn it because the criticism is unfavorable to a certain small group?
--she smiled and he bowed, though he did not remember ever having seen her. She rose quickly, and came closer to him, waving gracefully about her dress.
Upon being granted permission to sit in on a discussion group, which I was very interested in, I gained the same impression as stated in the editorial "The Delegates Discuss." The meetings dragged, discussion was carried on by two or three members, the rest looked bored, and the spirit of accomplishment was entirely lacking. The fault seemed to lie in the fact that the delegates were not prepared, including the parental knowledge to know enough of the actual conditions to give the proper ground work for accomplishment. Should we suppress an editorial staff that wants to tell the students of this condition?

Tom had been the president of advancement he has made to his son John, just commencing in the business, are broken, for no apparent reason. Tom has asked Paul Gorbel, Beltnap's partner, whom John and other business associates of Belknap cordially dislike, is a house of torture without a complete understanding.
CHAPTER VII—Having evidence of Gorbel's complicity in the burning of the Richards stables, Sheriff Bradshaw and a dead man had been in his employ and claims he had discharged him for being drunk, the afternoon of the fire led to an autopsy on the body. Gorbel sends an anonymous letter to Ellen, informing him that, acting for his father, John is responsible for her business troubles. John is unable to make a satisfactory disclosure of his duties at the heart discharges him.
CHAPTER III—Ellen engages John as he remanures the kitchen to handle operations of the Richards company culminates in the deliberate wrecking of a locomotive.
CHAPTER V. The Richards barn and stables burn in a night fire. In the blazing structure John finds and carries out the dead body of a stranger. He realizes the fire was set, but retuces it with a bomb. He must to such an act. Steele and Sheriff Bradshaw arrange to work together on the case.
CHAPTER II.—At Sheostring, his train delayed by a wreck. John is ordered to leave at once. He refuses, and after a fist fight, his attackers realize it is a case of mistaken identity. He asks for help to be out to wreck the Richards lumber company. Bewildered and unbelieving, he seeks employment with that company. At the office he finds Gorbel bullying a young girl, and through a doorbell he convinces him. The girl is Ellen Richards, owner of the company. A letter he carries gives John's name as John Steele, the Beklapan being dropped inadvertently, and allows the feeling against his father, allows Elen to believe that is his name.
CHAPTER VI - JL. is satisfied that Todd worked, sheltered by "Old Tom" Belnik's name and reputation. Gorbel discovers that "Steele" is John Belnik.
CHAPTER IV—After heroic effort, the captain sends John aiming Elena's bravery under the conditions, begins to have a sentimental attachment for the girl, which proves worthless.
CHAPTER IY
He was restless after his supper that night. This was Saturday and the whole town was gathering at the recreation hall for the weekly dance. He found himself, despite him being in the recreation hall. He stood looking into the big room through the glass. The music was fair, the place filled with young and old, revelling in the amusement his father had provided. They were dancing, laughing, for such advantages and John went a bit hot. Old Tom had done that!
Couples swirled past. Girls and women looked at him significantly. He saw one whisper to her partner and another to his. They chuckled and clucked. . . . He was marked.
The dance ended. He turned to see a girl watching from a seat near the door.
"I guess you don't remember me, Mr. Belkap!" she said. "I'm Marie Varnell. I used to be in the Chicago office."
"Oh!!" he said, taken aback. "I guess it's one on me! In a place where there are so many good-looking girls, though, you can't blame a poor boy from the woods if he gets confused, can you?"
"Good line! I didn't expect you to remember me, though!"
A specimen of a delinite city type, he saw; her clothing, her make-up, her dress.
"And how long have you been here?" he asked.
Fourteen months now.
"In the office, I suppose?"
"Yes."
"Well," she said, "I guess I better get back to the girls."
"Fourteen months now."
"Oh . . . can't we dance, then?" He smiles flashed. She had achieved
"Yes." The orchestra struck up.
since leaving the university he had danced little, but from the first few steps he realized that this stenographer was an exceptional dancer. Light, responsive, supple, graceful, their thread of grief of less adroit couples in silence.
"I'm glad you came," she said, and he did not catch the peculiar quality of her.
She turned her face towards him,
very close.
"I don't mean that. Ordinarily I'd have a come-back for you, Mr. Belkap. But I don't feel like wise-cracking tonight. I came here hoping I see you. I did what I don't usually do and was a little bold, I guess, getting you to talk to me. I've got something to tell you."
"So am I! This is the first time I've danced!"
"Yes?"
"A lot you should know; a lot your father should know."
have stopped since you came into the picture. . . Now are you inter-
course? . . .
"It will be, but I can't talk here. . . .
I'll go out to meet you together. I've
got to see you."
"So? That's interesting!"
John was not very good at interpreting women. He was just a trifle wary now, and evidently she understood.
"it's all right. I'm shooting square. I'll tell you this much; I'm responsible for getting you out of Shesoaring." "I don't quite understand," he said.
cautiously.
Her eyes, as he studied them, seemed to be honest enough.
"I wrote a letter to Miss Richards,
on dictation. Does that mean anything?"
*
"and if I hadn't written that letter I might have gone for a ride . . . or whatever they do up here in the woods!" If that isn't enough I'll say what happened, and scared stiff since you came here. Talings that had been going on before
The music stopped. They both applauded vigorously, when the encore ended.
"I will leave after the next dance. I'm here with other girls from the office, but I am in line for the right at the post office. You walk past a half hour after I leave and Till be waiting in the storm-house. When I arrive, you will get my entry. Open the door for you."
"Very much!"
After a moment he said: "Fair enough!"
He didn't like this matter of clandestine meetings, of skulking to a rendezvous with a girl of this type. But she knew something that solved one problem, evidently. What he had to learn must be learned.
He waited to lage laging minutes, headless of the music and laughter and talk about him, slitting against the wall, heart thumping.
"Paul Gorbel might come," she said, "Obl!
"Who would come?" he asked, suspicious now.
Yes! And if He Found You Here With Me He'd-He Might Kill Me!"
He went out and strolled down the street, swept rapidly along the sidewalk with its high piles of snow on either side, scanning the front houses.
The third was painted white; it set back thirty feet from the street. As he came abreast of it the door of the storm-house, which, during the winter protected him, was then opened inward. He saw her standing there and she beckoned.
"Come in," she said, looking down the street, and closed the door, shutting them into the little cubicle. "All right, now?"—speaking in a normal voice, he gazed out of the house—is deaf as a post. She sleeps like a log, too. If anybody comes up the walk here, you go straight through the kitchen and out the back door!"

"Yes! And if he found you here with me he'd . . . he might kill me!" — dramatically. "He'd be afraid of you, but he'd never let me get away, knowing that I know all I do and after he'd seen us together." That why? — more easily — 'I can't take you up to my room, if he trapped us there.'
"In the habit of coming to your room. is he?"
"Yes," she said. "I'm not going to try to put anything over on you, Mr. Bellkamp. I couldn't, even if I wanted to, and I don't want to."

"that's generous, I'm sure. But ..."
