THAT SIX-DAY SCHEDULE
A thirty man is he who does not lick his stamps until he is sure that the address on the envelope is all right.
Two influential organizations here have already taken stands against Saturday school, and a number of fraternal organizations have expressed their disapproval of the plan
"There's no guess work about it. It would simply mean that I could not be in school the second semester." This remark was elicited from one of the many who are earning either all or part of their living by working Saturdays and at old hour through the week, when approached concerning the proposed shake-up o classes.
In taking a stand against the proposed six-day class schedule at the University, the Kansas has maintained that it has back of it the sentiment of the student body. That this contention is true is being demonstrated daily by the action of student organizations and by investigations being carried on among the students.
A number of men and women have been interviewed in the attempt to arrive at a fair statement regarding the student feeling about the six-day schedule. Some of the working people have testified that they would "have to make other arrangements," while some have said that remaining in school would be impossible in case the rule goes into effect at the beginning of the second semester.
Of twelve working students who were asked point-blank for their opinions, not one could see the advantage of such a ruling, and with eight it meant leaving school. One or two called attention to the fact that the situation here is hardly analogous to other schools where the plan has been put into effect. One man characterized it as a "ruling for a rich man's school."
But the objection to the proposed ruling does not end with the students. The sentiment among the faculty is not unanimous for the plan. One faculty member said, "It would scarcely raise the scholastic standing of the University as a whole. Six days of uninterrupted work would pall on most of the students, the evident result being a loss of interest. Aside from the question of work hours for those who are self-supporting, there would be the prevalent danger of overdoing the routine business."
Sentiment is against war. Look at all the divorce cases.
"OLD STUFF"
If Sir Walter Raleigh should offer one of our campus queens the privilege of tripping across a muddle on his expensive embroidered cloak, the Hill "cakes" would remark "old stuff" and the recipient of his galantry would probably giggle and
characterize him as a "erazy poor 69ob."
Every day on the campus we see an increasing disregard of what we used to call good manners. there is little stopping aside to let ladies pass first; "pardon men" and "excuse men" are not often as heard as occaions demand; recognition of a lady on the street is sometimes confined to the poling of a furtive finger in the general direction of the hat.
But the men are not the only ones who forget the little niceties of behavior. Some of the women are just as thoughtless; they rush in "where angels fear to tread," and then wonder why their recension is cool.
This slackening in the code of manners is partly the result of the movement for equality of sex and the demands of women that men accept them upon terms of companionship. And being accepted as companions, can they still expect all those serapages and bowings that were the homage due to the maiden of the days of crinoline?
The campus is not infested with a bunch of boors. There are few men who would kick the crutches from under a cripple; there are few girls who would forget to thank the chancellor if he should open a door for them. But in our daily rubbing of shoulders with each other there is bounty room for meandering our man
Market reports say silver is advancing. If it comes this direction it won't get any farther than the campus!
THAT MIX-UP IN TEXAS
Texas is in a big political turmoil at the present time, all caused by the question as to whether the name of Earle B. Mayfield, Democratic candidate for the United States senator, shall appear on the official ballot. Mayfield, who is known to have the backing of the Ku Klux Klan, is charged with spending too much money during his cannage.
Opponents of the Ku Khux Klan now declare that this organization is responsible for the disruption of the Democratic party in the state. If the district court at Corcigna rules that Mayfield's name cannot appear on the ballot, it will mean that the Democrats will have no official candidate in the senatorial race.
The bitter controversy between the Klan and anti-Klan factions in Texas started early last summer when the two semiarbitrary candidates lined up for and against the secret organization. James E. Ferguson, the anti-Klan candidate, was beaten by Mayfield in the run-off. Now it appears rather doubtful whether Mayfield is eligible for the office, for he is accused of having spent more money during his campaign than the Texas laws allow.
The outcome of the Mayfield controversy will be watched with much interest for it may reveal just how much power the Ku Kux Klan wields in the affairs of the Lone Star state.
Bellie: "Yeh, I'd hate to wear it when I danced with that flat tire. I met the other night. He'd knock off $20 every step he took."
Plain Tales From The Hill
May: "Did you see that $1800
skipper at that shoe store down
town?"
In a short time he reappeared, very much out of breath, and proudly displayed a deposit slip from a local bank, leaving a deposit of twenty-five dollars.
During the rush of late registration a freshman approached the business office to pay his chemistry laboratory fee. To pay this fee it is necessary to present a deposit card, a credit card, or an insurance card; the embarrassed freshman said that he had failed to bring it, but that he would immediately get it.

After having taken part in the work done on Campus Day to the extent of swinging an ax for some time in Marvin Grove, I want to say that I think the tradition will be a fine thing. I'm for it!
Campus Opinion
Bad Feature of Campus Day
To the Kansan Editor:
But there is one thing to which I want to call attention which seems to me to constitute a serious oversight. On arriving at the grove I apparently orders had been given to deprive nature of underbrush except a small isolated area further to the west. All the luxurious growth of shrubbery, briers and vines in the main part of grove was quickly dis-
In past years this has been one of the best bird nesting sites in the vicinity of the campus. It was likewise a very useful refuge for some of them in winter. Of course, much of it was totally unless but a little judicious selection would have made it possible to save some of the best nesting sites and facilitate interfering with the general plan of improvement and so to preserve most of the shelter and seclusion that the birds love so well.
The birds are not attracted to many of the bushes on the campus proper and clearing it out destroys the best bird ground near the main part* of the University. The birds must be beyond Potter's and the enquiry.
We are told that the feathered creatures are valuable aids in fighting insects that attack trees and vegetation in general and yet we drive them farther away and make life harder for them in this short-sighted fashion. I sincerely hope that if a similar activity occurs in the future, someone will be given authority to make a wise selection of ground that may be preserved for these friends of ours that cannot plead their own cause.
