WE'RE GLAD TO SEE YOU HIGH SCHOOL TEAMS The University of Kansas welcomes you, Kansas high school basketball players, on Mount Oread. Every year we look forward to your coming with pleasure, and this—the fifteenth annual tournament—we hope will be the host one ever held. You can't all win, but we wish each team success in the games. Play hard and the reward ought to be yours. All eyes are on the state tournament in Lawrence. The best basketball talent in Kansas will compete. The team that wins the honors will be among the best preparatory-school fives in the United States. Title holders in the past have proved that they were capable of holding their own with the best teams in the country. The fact that you are allowed to compete in the K. U. tournament is an honor to your school even though you lose your games on the first round. While you are our guests, high school athletes, get acquainted with Mount Oread and its people. We wish that every one of you might some day become one of us after you are graduated from your high school. Some of you have been here before and have become somewhat familiar with the Hill; others are paying your first visit to the University. We urge you all to get acquainted. When you are not on the basketball court, saunter across the campus, inspect the buildings, enjoy the beautiful panoramic view from the famous Hill, and enter into the spirit of K. U., for, some time we hope that you all will be students at the University of Kansas. Again, you are welcome, fellow Jayhawkers. Owners of the steamship Leviathan have declared that next year, each stateroom will be equipped with a radio telephone. There will be at least one consolation to this system. We can't see at present how they can have busy signals. SPEAKING OF GHOSTS If some advertising man had concocted the "great ghost" of Antigonish County, N. Y., for public purposes, he would have had a veritable gold mine. Papers of all sizes from those of the metropolitan city to the weekly paper of the country handlet, have been full of the spook story. Although all ghostly antics have no more foundation than spider webs, there are always many people who believe in them to the utmost. The "manifestations" of this ghost were rather novel. Fires broke out in the house in rapid succession, for no discoverable reason—that is no reason was discovered. Moreover, a group of people in the house saw a wet piece of paper on a table before them spring into flame. The fact that none of these fires caused the house to burn down seems to indicate a rather phallic phantom. Ghosts Besides starting fires this self-same ghost let cows loose from their chains, which were nailed to stanchions. To top all, the family upon departing "umistakebly" saw a hand and arm moving from a window of a room they knew was vacant." Old Anians can still consciously remain king of his clan. For it's the same old story. A famous doctor has solved the riddle. Again the spook in the "na-tuted" house was human. THE HIGH SCHOOL FRATERNITY In the largest city in Kansas there is at present a sizeable fureover on the high school fraternity, Mothers of high school students, organized have taken up the fight against an institution that has been, according to state laws, illegal for some time, and seem to be on the verge of success in their battle. The high school fraternity is a serious question. From a superficial view point, that of their being more boy's clubs and societies, this may be questioned. But the fraternity usually goes further than what we choose to style a club. It binds a little closer, it develops a circle, a clique, outside of which the high school fraternity member does not usually stray in his association. This is to a great extent true in college fraternities, but the difference lies in the fact that the boy is in the most formative stage. It is at this time, as at no other, that it is imperative he should "mix," vary his associations to the highest degree, and by his associations develop his character, or, if you please, his "type." College fraternities acknowledged run to "types." This is as natural as the simplest laws of nature. But the student, by the time he has reached college, has, or should have formed more or less permanently his habits, his views, and his limitations. That he is able to associate and affiliate with men who have developed much the same as he has and entertain much the same views, is an assistance rather than a hindrance to him in his higher school life. The high school fraternity is a natural result of the American boy's imitative instinct. But it is a misdirected effort; a menace to natural boyhood and manhood development. This was recognized by the action of the state in legislating against it; it is still more strikingly recognized in the organization of a city's mothers against it. And it is interesting to note that the latter has proved far more effective. DRAWING THE LINE Can a man smoke and still be a gentleman? It seems altogether possible. Lord Chesterfield told his son he might do anything that a gentleman could do. A pretty safe rule, that—despite the fact that it is twisted nearly out of shape at times. But there is a very striking relationship between being a gentleman and 'aitering to Lady Nicotine. A lady professor back East confessions to having been made really ill from the odor of tobacco on some of the men who came to her office for private conference. A lady in Wichita fainted in a street car the other day because a "stog" was on fire next to her—this in spite of a city ordinance. To bring it closer home, not long ago one of the "Regular Fellows" here on the Hill tossed a cigarette into a girl's hairnet—didn't mean to, of course. There are other and more numerous instances, but why take time and space to enumerate them? Ninety per cent of them are probable due to thoughtlessness. The other ten, may be set down to plain lack of breeding. But surely the line ought to be drawn somewhere. Rights are to be used and not abused. Smoking is one of those rights just as was drinking. Common sense would indicate that what turned the thinking public against the latter was the very evident fact that most men could not do it, and still carry the bearing of a gentleman. One may draw his own conclusions. The anti-tobacco element does not lack for support and if the smoker wants to keep the privileges he holds so dear, he must watch his step. Of course it's quite possible that the mere desire to be a gentleman would be incentive enough. Kansan Krackles Headline—Senior women dine to get class spirit. Some people oughe to have plenty of class spirit if that is all it takes. Oswald says that if prices at the Commons are cheap, the down-town cafe owners are philanthropists. Bobbed hair may be going out, but it takes some time for it to grow out. Apparently Mexico is advancing in modern methods and ideas by leaps and bounds. The Mexicans are abandoning the petit revolutions as a pastime and have taken up America's National Outdoor Sport—Union Labor strikes. The average class is made up of two types of students: those who scramble for the front row and those who don't. Folks talking about what a rank failure prohibition is reminds us that a snake is pretty active between leash and sandown. There is some consolation in knowing that this snow will help the wheat, and the wheat will help a lot of us through school next year. The Chicago Tribune says that Carl Sandburg, "shambled to his destiny," evidently meaning that the poet from the "Windy City" went on foot. He might get to his destination more quickly if he travelled in an automobile. A good working scheme for world race ought to limit Ireland to two or three fights a day. Student's Health Code Compulsory physical training for freshmen at Harvard University is an interesting recognition of the fact that the value of learning is enhanced by bodily vigor. Of the 603 members of the class about 60 per cent take part in organized athletics in the fall such as football, track-cross-country, and baseball. In the winter season, basketball, indoor baseball, swimming, boxing, and other indoor sports give abundant opportunity for exercise. Besides the important factor of a larger number of muscles than a set routine; they turn the mind into a fresh and healthy interests; they teach quickness, self-control, and a regard for the feelings of your opponents; and finally they foster friendships among the lonely newcomers. Plain Tales from the Hill That jail sentences do not always mean confinement is illustrated by the following story, told by a K. U. man, who was one of a party of hunters that went from here to Alaska, several years ago. Cruel Jailor! Owing to these conditions, the prisoners of the village jails are often given the liberty of the town during the winter months in order that they might be able to take a litte tobacco money by doing old jobs about the settlement. When the long, ice-bound winters of the north set in, the small towns along the coast are isolated from fall conditions. They pack a packet that piles from town to town. It is death for a man to hit the snowbound trail without food and provision and no one can leave the town by boat without the inhabitants knowing about it. One Valdera, jailer in a small hamlet gave his prisoners this liberty one winter. At first everything went well until the judge came very tardy about getting in at nights. They disturbed the jailer by going to their cells in the wee small hours; for a time he worried alone and then one day he posted this sign. Not long ago, one of the pieds of a certain engineering fraternity was receiving his razzing prior to initiation. His future brethern sent him out with instructions to be back in five minutes with a Mapacuba. Half an hour elapsed and no freshman appeared. Finally he returned, empty-handed, doing nothing on his face, and panning like a Scotch Collar in July. All Want advertisements are cash. 11. All Want five inscriptions 60 cents.
