FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1923
Now that a case for blindness has been found, the old saying that "none are so blind as those who will not see" will be truer than ever.
THE SIXTH ANNIVERSARY
Six years ago today the United States declared war against the Germans. "Make the world safe for democracy" was the cry that went around the world as the wires flashed the news that we had cast our lot with the Allies.
Today, five years after the armistice, we talk of peace, yet wonder if the war has really ended. We still see strife and dissension where we were assured there was to be universal harmony.
LEARN TO SWIM
It may be that the lasting good of the war will be found later. It may be that we need perspective to properly evaluate the changes the last decade has wrought.
But why need it be all? Steps and should be taken to at least lessen the number of deaths among boaters and swimmers of the Kaw each year.
The Kaw river claimed another victim a few days before the Easter vacation. And the people of Lawrence and the Hill signed and said, "Another one! Too bad!" That is all there has been done or -probably all that will happen until the next death occurs.
The University has a good swimming pool and men and women who are competent of giving swimming instruction. Require that every man and woman in the University be proficient in swimming and methods of rescue before they can become a junior. Just such a thing is required of all students at the University of Southern California as a part of their physical education requirements.
The saving of one life would more than recompense for the time and money expended in the teaching of this sport—one life saved would make it all worth while. For what is more valuable than the life of our youth? Aside from that angle of the matter, swimming has an indefinable value in the physical educational program. It is doubtful that any other sport gives as complete a development of the human body and faculties as a whole that does swimming.
SOLDIERS ALL
The American Legion has constructed an efficient plan for the carrying on of the next war—for there will be a next war sometime, in spite of wishes to the contrary. According to the Legion's plan every one will be drafted into service. Men, women, industries—all classes, in fact—will be drafted into service.
Under that plan there will be no need for adjusted compensation to be paid the soldiers when they return from the war. There will be no such a thing as contractors gouging the government under cost-plus contracts, and there will be no such thing as workers receiving fabulous wages while helping these contractors attain riches with those same cost-plus contracts. The soldiers will be serving at the front, taking all the risk, of course, but the others will be serving
at home under government pay the same as the soldiers. That this is manifestly fair, all but the profftees will agree.
The good old days—for contractors —will be gone. No more will piratical contractors be able to make the government pay for cigars, expensive dinners, amusement tickets, false teeth, wearing apparel, loving cups and oil paintings in order to run up production costs, and then receive ten per cent on top of that for profit, as some of them did under world war contracts. Instead, they will all be doing their respective bites for meager sums, as the soldiers always have to do.
Nor will consideration be shown for those who think they are intensely patriotic because they hang out flags, deny themselves a little sugar, and buy government bonds that pay interest. They will all serve.
Every man, woman and child will be mobilized, and in this way the war will be fought efficiently with a minimum expense. The Legion plan is a good one, and it is hoped that it will be used when the next war comes.
A man has just finished engraving the capitol and the president on pin-heads. We know some pin-heads on whom we can't make any impression at all.
A FOOL'S CAP
We aren't here to "kick." We aren't here to raise a howl. We won't protest. We've been doing that ever since it has become a regular habit for some admiring schoolmate to watch for our blossoming-forth in a new spring helmet, and then, equally as regularly, to surreptitiously make it his.
Now we have tried to be charitable about this small matter, but when this act of charity has to be repeated each academic year, and when we take into consideration the new grade standard, we write to say that we cannot see our way clear. Hones, our good brother must join those of the bare heads. We say brother, because those that wear the same head cover must be brothers or else one a thief, and we would call no one a thief!
Nevertheless, our new spring cap is gone. And each morning, as we dust off our old black plush and pull it down over a pair of wearied eyewear, we sigh. Suspicion has crept into our undergraduate life, and we roam the campus doubting, doubling those that wear a new fangled, grey dwo-fop of a cap on a size seven-and-one-eighth head. And we realize the truth in those untestable words, "A fool's cap it is that hung in a University cloakroom!"
"I hung it up just before you took it down," is our lament.
The old German says he is not going to buy a radio until they can tune strong enough that he can tune in and hear the corks popping in the old country.
RADIO PROGRESS
The announcement that Secretary
Hower will allocate varying wave
lengths to the various radio stations
over the country comes as welcome
news to the thousands of radio fans
throughout the United States. Under
this plan each station will broadcast
under a different wave length. For
example, one station will send over
400 meters, another over 395, another
390, and so on.
Needless to say, this will be a God-send to those who attempt to take information and entertainment from the ether. Under the present plan all stations broadcast over either 375 or 400 meters. As a consequence, the air is a veritable jumble—or jungle of market reports, music, speeches, bedtime stories and the like every afternoon and evening. Every station which is sending at a given time intreieres with what is being sent by every other station at the same time. This interference will be eliminated when different wave lengths are assigned the stations, with the result that the owner of a radio set may tune in on distant stations and hear what he wishes with a minimum of interference.
Secretary Hoover has shown that he is willing to keep abreast of the times.
Plain Tales From The Hill
Hurray! Two bit meals have been revived in Kayesee. Now the collegiate week-enders at the Muhlmoreh give a little extra to throw elsewhere.
Soms one has been advertising for society shields who will invade Africa for thirty bucks per month. The realization for him will be that Uncle Sam has been the only person who would expeditionally force on such pay.
As the Cubists Would Have it In the Moonlight
My soul—my soul goes out to you,
Your symmetry, your perfect balance
So unlike all the restless heart of me,
I am not afraid to laugh or take
In lonely vigils through the night
I wake and look on you;
You soothe, you bring strange calm

You slender, rhythmic thing— You fence-post.
"Toasted Rolls," a humorous column, a department called "Campus Opinion," and an "Editorial Comment" column consisting of editorials clipped from other student papers, are included on the editorial page of the University of Michigan Daily.
It is rumored that Ad is to be turned around so that the curiosity of the public may be satiated without further intrigue. It has progress of construction over there.
Jayhawks Flown
Charles G. Upton, A. B. '81, RIedale, has written for the next issue of the Graduate Magazine on "Early Recollections of K. U." Mr. Upton wrote that the book was published in 1881 and he briefly relates a few of the impressions of these five years. He gives a picture of the campus and the general arrangement of the landscape—Fraser Hall dominating the landscaped area and on the tower of Fraser he was already grinding out the famous weather reports of Professor Snow." A few elm trees were planted on the campus about 1877 and the low ground to the north was in its misery. The elm willows," according to Mr. Upton.
"One or two incidents are worth noting," says Mr. Upton, "Old timers will recall the excitement among the professors when the telephone was first tried out on a wire reening from the hill to Woodward's drug store; also the storm that partially overrode the over面 of the Baptist church, the tallest structure in Lawrence." "To reach the University there was one but street, the one running east and west (fourteenth街), and it was up this street that all the people of Lawrence walked when a lecture was to be given during commencement, and she was on the instruction on the hill and walked up to all of these public meetings as were few carriages and no other means of conveyance. As the cartoonist would say, "They were the days of real sport." In his letter Mr. Upton also tells
In his letter Mr. Upton also tells of some of the peculiarities of the few professors at that time.

Members of the department of entomology at the University of Missouri advise that now is the time to begin swatting the common house fly, "Killing one fly is equivalent to killing thousands of flies in the summer, because flies breed and multiply in the summer," said Dr. Early in the breeding season we can reduce greatly the number of flies in the summer time.
"Scarlet-haired Coeds with fascinating green eyes are competing for the new prize to be awarded by the Order of the Golden Fleece at the University of Nebraska. The "friars" freshman is also in line for a prize, but the other candidates have natural naming freckles. The golden haired beauties of the Order will award the grand sweep-stakes prizes, however, to the girl having the most flaming locks and the one with hair nearest lemon. Shades of carrot, orange, vergetable flamingos, cerise, and salmon pink are in highest favor with the judges.
