KING BASEBALL
Today the series of series opened in the Yankee stadium in New York City. The crowd was predicted as a capacity one of approximately 70,000. Hundreds of thousands will enjoy the thrills from the electrically operated scoreboards in some of the larger cities, while the great mass of baseball fans will be crowded around any radio that is available. Baseball still is the great American sport, in spite of the rapidly increasing popularity of football.
The American nation will take a holiday from its work, beginning today and lasting until the series is over. Groups will gather here and there throughout the country, listening intently to the broadcast of this opening game. These crowds, numbering into the millions, show the vast and widespread interest in professional baseball in the United States.
Today the sport is taking its final bow. It will take a back seat to winter sports after this final series; but until then, baseball is on the throne. A new world's champion is to be crowned at the completion of the series, and then King Baseball will retire to the quietude of the "winter stove league" until next April.
JUST FRESHMEN
The first year students on the Hill are now just common everyday freshmen. Last evening they were formally initiated into the traditions of the University.
Yesterday they enjoyed every liberty of the upperclassmen. Today they conform to the regulations set forth by the Men's Student Council, and enforced by it jointly with the "K" men and the members of Sachem. Their small blue caps which cover the crown of their heads, with red and blue streamers dangling over their shoulders, on football days, reminds one of the first cap worn by a youngster who has just graduated from the age of dresses
These caps are very distinctive, as are the wearers. They add color to the campus and, if they fulfill their purpose they will add school spirit and a loyalty to the traditions of the University. For the large majority of the freshmen there is a certain glamour and pride in wearing a cap; some are not in sympathy with the practice, and wear the caps in protest, but the greater percentage accept the custom gracefully.
CAMPUS COLORS
Purple corduroys, blood-red wasp flying against the sunlight, green leaves turning to yellow; the campus is a colorful spot. The glossy leaves of the locust tree in front of the journalism building glisten as if they had dew upon them.
What variety is the tree across the drive from old Snow hall; the tall, grapevine-like branched tree with pea-green leaves like the catalpa? It stands alone among the darker leafed trees and shrubs about it, overshadowing the cedars in the small park behind Fraser hall, and keeping watch over the murmuring chorus of Marvin grove.
A young man sits on the side
steps of old Snow hall, basking in the sunlight. His corduroies, the color of a blood-red waps in flight, encase his legs in John Held Jr. cartoon angles. A sweep of the eyes—the colors swirl about the figure on the steps, through the branches of the trees, across the patch of roof, the window pane, the window shade, to the black and white of the typewritten page. Perhaps some of the colors are now imprisoned there.
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
Now is the time at the beginning of another nine months period of human association, when all students should be on the alert in order to prevent the spread of certain contagious diseases in our University family. Past years have been marked by widespread decimation of the ranks because of the activity of various maladies
Among the most dangerous of these lilies against which we must guard is that strange and as yet unfathomable brain fever caused by the love bacillus, which flits almost unchecked upon the campus and about the environs of Lawrence. It especially thrives in socrity houses and front porches, breeds rapidly near eating places and in canoes, and is spread largely by automobiles, dances, and moonlight.
The most effective remedies for this dread plague are excessive application of books, or complete isolation. Poverty, which formerly was found effective as a cheek in many cases, is of almost no avail this year, considering the prevalence of that condition.
The second dangerous scourge, though far less widespread than the malady named above, is also characterized by a fevered condition of the brain. It is commonly termed "study," although its scientific name is Stuffius Cranium Abnormalitus. It is encouraged especially by the large number of Graduate Students present this year, spurred on by lack of employment and subsequent seriousness of mind. This last named ailment, seriousness of mind, it may be confined in passing as a minor disorder, but one which adds great danger to sufferers from other diseases and leads to many unfortune
Curiously enough, in many cases, these two major maladies often serve to counteract each other; although there are a few pathetic cases in which each has but served to intensify the other ill. For this reason, it is dangerous to expose patients undergoing either disease to the ordinarily competitive one.
The third major ill, far less dangerous, but often with lasting results, is the unnamed condition commonly known as sleeping late in the morning. The only immediate danger arising from this sickness, however, is loss of breakfast and occasional unpopularity with instructors. The curious aspect of this disease, if it may be so called, is that some people have an almost chronic case, year in and year out, and seem to derive an almost pleasurable sensation from its gentle lavages. There are a few unusual types which are almost totally immune, mostly culled from the classes of furnace caretakers, paper carriers, and a limited slice of the Phi Beta Kappa group. As far as is known there is no known remedy for this complaint, although an alarm clock regularly every morning, carefully mixed with an eight-thirty class, has been found effacious in some cases.
.
Although it is probably a waste of printing to, warn students against these disorders, the Kansan cannot, in good faith, undertake the beginning of a new year without this discussion. If only a few are saved, the time and space will have been well spent.
The officers of the French club will meet next Thursday at 4:30 to plan for the meetings of the club for the coming year. The officers are: president, Arthur Salahal, c;35; and secretary, Mary Shrum, c;33.

This advertisement in the University Kansas intrigues the Ablene Reflector: "Room at very economical rent for intelligent man student wishing to cook his own meals. Must understand evolution. Come to 1400 Mars." Is the landlord anxious to argue on evolution or is he willing to accept something better? Kansas City Star. The boy will probably evolve into a chef.
Mrs. Albert Sprinkle was quite disappointed over the defeat of the La-Follette in Wisconsin. "And just to think," she mounced, "that they have been leaders in Wisconsin ever since the Marquis LaFollette came from Washington to help Washington with Revolution." — Arkansas City Daily Traveller.
There seems to be a disposition among college women to take their sorority pledges more seriously than their matrimonial pledges. They specialize in Greek in college and when they try housekeeping it is all Greek to them and they know little or nothing about it. -Winfield Daily Courier.

The Young College Crowd
WHO?
We're the pet store for this discriminating crowd. Not but because of sentiment or tradition. They make no bones about demanding quality, style, workmanship and values. And because they know the Terry Shop's reputation, we are, this, our first year, outfitting the Young College Crowd.
May we suggest that you buy a Marinette, the Aristocrat of Knitted Wear, or perhaps a French Imperial Jersey dress created and designed by that master stylist Jean Carol of Los Angeles. Anyway you must come in and look over dresses that are unusually styled and individually made.
