Polluted in the Jervonston, five times a week. A local resident is undergoing a permanent assignment at Association of the University of Kern Lake, which she entered as second civil matr near Sepahre, enriched by the presence of Lieutenant Leuker,Korn under the date of March 1878.
K. U. TRADITIONS
K. U. is an institution that has risen to a high place among American schools by years of labor, striving and effort on the part of some individuals with a vision of a great university for a great state.
Contrary to the opinion of those who give it only a passing thought, this institution did not just "happen to be," and, unlike Topy, it did not "just grow" although it did grow.
"The Origin of K. U. Traditions" is a story that will be told to the new students at Hensley House at 9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14. It is a fascinating story that will take you back to Civil War days and then up through the 65 years of struggle and advancement to the present Sept., 1531, when you are irate at Mount Oread to enroll as student.
How old North College was the beginning; how the city of Lawrence donated the land overlooking both the Kaw and Wakara valleys; how Fraser Hall went up, a pretentious edifice of that time; the important events of the old days; how a number of K. U boys went out of school into the World War, not to return, and the two structures that were erected to their memory; and how the names of certain persons went down in the history of the University of Kansas — all these are parts of that immensely interesting story.
Every new-comer should be present on this occasion. It will enable you to appreciate the university you are going to attend and maintain the respect that is due our alma Mater.
BACK IN THE DAYS WHEN
When the hands of the clock in old
Blake Hall start their upward turn
toward midnight, and the sun has just
dropped out of sight behind West Hills;
when all the leaves are just beginning
to turn brown, and the slopes are still
green; when the sky flaunts its natural blueness, and a calm breeze hardly noticeable, passes across the Hill it is the autumn evening on Mount Oread, one that will always be recalled and one that will compare favorably with impressive occasions becoming part of our experiences in future years
If at some future time we look out from our abode in some luxurious resort across cool mountains, touched with green, see the last rays of evening sun, and experience similar feeling, that may be autumn evening in the Rockies, in the Appalachians, or in the mountains of a foreign country. Perhaps, however, it will recall the old scene here and renew our appreciation for it.
Or it may be at dusk on the Atlantic or other waters, a scene most of us only dream of now. That serene, panorama will no longer be a dream, but its atmosphere may be dreamy and take us back to the days when—and let us dream.
Very probably a future home of moderate style or one of grandeur
in Kansas or in a distant creew, who on some fall evening be the center of an impressive setting. Again may we be taken back and allowed to compare the occasions. An autumn evening on Mount Ouled, which now gets little more than a passing thought, may in future years be the source of many pleasures.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
As a woman student on this campus, I submit the following poem whose language is rich with metaphors which ought to have some connection with the males who so gloibly talk of them.
"I like men.
They stride about,
They reach in their pockets
They pull up the wall.
They look important,
They rock on their toes,
They lose all the buttons
They get wet,
They throw away pipes,
They find them again.
Men are queer creatures,
Women are sexy.
But I like men."
But I like men." AJG

THE K.U. UNION What It Means To You

U. students who gave their lives in the World War. It is the center of all University social life; it is here that the cafeteria is located, varsity dances are held, and student organization offices are housed. It is the center of extra-curricular activities for students, alumni, faculty and their friends. The Union has become such a part of K.

The And Union in the Now Future
I want to defend the teaching staff.
If a professor is so earnest and con-
fident about his work he will not
cime him; but keep him after the
whirlstakes? The professor is working
hard to give his students the full
benefit of the course for which they

Editor Daily Kansan:
Students hinder a professor's work considerably in interrupting his lectures instead of getting the material from some one who has learned to take
And it is politic to enter a classroom before the preceding class has been dismissed? The instructor is endeavouring to finish a paragraph, or if it is not, to write another paragraph down some last minute information, when in comes a student for the next
Fees from membership in the Union during the school year 1930-31 made possible the recent installment of the finest, best equipped and coziest fountain in Lawrence. It is an ideal spot for between-class, after-class meetings and instruction as well as a convenient place to meet the "gang" in a real colliage atmosphere.

The University has received a collection of maps as an additional gift from the University. These maps date from 1822 to 1788. They are beautifully designed by German and Dutch map makers and now work with the university to create a workbook and coats of arms.
It might be all right to make critical, but one should write the favorable as well as the unfavorable.
