WHY NOT A "CO-OP" STORE AT K. U.?
The time has come when co-operative book stores at universities are no longer experiments. We need not wait any more for examples. This method of handling books and supplies has been tested at other colleges and universities, and they have proved successful in every instance. Not only can student supplies be sold more cheaply by the co-operative plan, but better service is also afforded. K. U. needs only to follow the example of other institutions in adopting the most efficient method of handling books and supplies.
It has been said that there is no profit on text books. Maybe not, but there has been instances reported at the University where private concerns here in Lawrence would charge as much as a dollar more for a book than the same text would cost when ordered direct from the company by the department in which the book was used. Does that indicate anything? A dollar on one book is not a profit to be ensured at by students, when that money might just as well be saved.
A co-operative store is not an impossibility on Mount Gread. The W. S. G. A. book exchange has done well, but that is only a starter. A real "co-op" store would be a credit to K. U., and would mean economy to the students. If five influential men will get behind the project, its establishment would soon be assured. It would be a boon to the new era at the University. There's a splendid chance for philanthropy. If the sentiment for a "coop" store on the campus is strong, let's make some noise.
We notice in a recent newspaper articles that "Greded Lares to Tradagy." So does poverty, and how are we to know just how to keep out of both.
DANGEROUS CROSSINGS
Recent press reports carried the news that sixteen more people have been killed in a crossing accident in a certain city. The collision was between a fast express and a motor bus.
When will this country wake up to the fact that eventually we must either go over or under railroad tracks at hazardous crossings?
It is a slow day that some one isn't killed on a railroad crossing, yet the builders of crossings seem to consider human life cheaper than materials to construct viaducts for dangerous crossings.
Nothing of any importance has been done to cut down the slaughter of human beings on the thousands of murderous intersections. In some cases cities have been far sighted enough to provide viaducts over tracks, but countless thousands of people are still 'unprotected against the ravages of the storm destroyer of human life.
The Flappers are not all among the girls it seems. Just look at the new collars of the Senior Laws.
BEATING UNCLE SAM
BEATING UNCLE SALE
Several days ago the Federal Grant Jury indicted two prominent ship builders on a charge of conspiracy to defraud the shipping board during the war. Those men were members of that public spirited organization known as "Dollar-a-Year Man" which officiated during what we are please to call the recent unpleasantness. And like a number of others whose name are too numerous to mention, they did not quite allow their patriotism to get the best of their business judgment No doubt the indictment comes a more or less of a surprise to them Surprise at least that they should have been singled out from all the rest of the gentle graffers who see if the气性 v伯itable Bonanza of want But surprise or no surprise, it is refreshing indeed to the humble tax payer to find that his government actually on the job.
The thing that these men have done will not bear comment. There are no words which will fitly describe an individual who will take advantage of an administration engaged in carrying on a war. Yet there were thousand of just such cases—some worse, some not quite so bad. Big business says we cannot afford to pay the soldier a bonus. Yet Big Business tapped Uncle Sam on government contracts for enough to pay every Allied soldier a liberal sum. That is another misfortune of war.
These men are not simply crooks; they are potential murderers. If they and cut troops in reliable, poorly built ships, or supply them with rotten tinned meats, they work more have than two regiments of Prussian Guards. The public sentiment on such questions has altered somewhat since the Civil War where it was a case of "everybody grab and the devil take the hindmost."
What they have done is a crime against humanity. And if they are allowed to escape without summary and adduce punishment, it is doubly a crime. In either case the Grand Jury has but only started on its task of legitimate investigation.
OUR CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL
Nature has been liberal to the campus on Mount Oread. Probably no other university is endowed with as beautiful a campus as the University of Kansas possesses. General Sherman once remarked after the Civil War, when visiting the University, that the panoramical view from our Hill was the most wonderful that he had ever seen. All visitors make the same remarks. K. U's site could not have been more appropriately chosen. Nature has provided an idea spot upon which to build the University of the Sunflower state. But we must not be too self-satisfied and fail to take advantage of our gift.
A landscape gardener could beautify the campus. Ash cans might be provided for waste paper, discarded cigarettes, and handbills. The street north of Green Hall should be hard-surfaced. The lawn should not be married by diagonal pedestrian-paths. Sidewalks ought to be completed. The old board crossings at the street car tracks should be replaced by modern improvements. Trees and shrubs could be planted and cared for better than they are now. Some of the "sore spots" that hurt the eyes might be made more attractive to aesthetic senses—all of these changes would be a step forward in the fostering of the beauty of Mount Oread heights.
HIGH SCHOOL TOURNAMENT
It is high time for Kansas to begin to think of entertaining her high school guests again. In a very few days they will begin to roll in the four corners of the state and they will want attention. Of course, they will be provided with rooms and places to eat and all that. But there is really more to the job of host than running some scared youngster from building and from committee to committee. We must go out of our way to make them feel at home.
It's great sport—this having hundreds of guests for a week. But we must always bear in mind that these young people are more than guests; they are prospective students. And they are going to rank the University of Kansas largely by what they see here that week. So it's up to us. Let's make it a good job.
Stenography is a young woman's job. No one wants an old stenographer.
"From Bowyer to Movies." Sounds like a death knell to that old volume,
"From Log Cabin to White House."
Kansan Krackles
Headline: Do you know the Bible?
No, but we are acquainted with
Freud.
Mexico just can't learn. She is now baring border drama movies on the ground that they libel Mexicans.
No longer will a student come home for dinner with the odor of tea on his breath and cake crumbs in his hair.
If you don't think a klinging job requires poise, just put yourself in one's place and try giving away Ireland, Egypt, and princess Mary all in six weeks.
The government has cut expenses $169,000,000 a month. Why couldn't the university students get the recipe from the person who gave it to the executive body and thereby win the everlasting parental gratitude?
A dishwasher recently commuted suicide. After hearing the testimonies of numerous housewives they can easily account for actions similar to this.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The following was handed in as a postal joke, but it certainly is not poetry, and is entirely too true to be funny.
THE PSALM OF CHEMISTRY Tell me not in lab desk numbers, Life is not an empty dream. When we're taking K. U. Chem. "2" Oh, How happy life must seem.
Life is business there on Fridays,
As we always have a quizz,
And in vain we try to think things,
But from dumbness make a fizz.
For of course our days are busy,
And our nights are spent at shows,
Sure, one must have some recreation
But why so么, God only knows.
When at last the course is finished,
And we have our finals o'er,
Then the Dean will call and tell us,
"you're a FLAUNK; take it once more!"
THE WAIL OF THE CUB
Oh Journalism! Whither hast thou hidden my Rhetoric? Where are the touching phrases the elegance, the statistic—which I had taken from the ages of the artist—and the presses of the artist—and they are trite; I use mine own and they are colloquial. I betake myself from Thee inspired and my rhetoric teacher, she scorn me bitterly. What must I do? I am discouraged and sick at heart. My wt, it is turned down—presses politician fearthe pen even as does the caward the sword. Oh, come to my rescue and I will be your servant—comfort me and I will be your slave.
