THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Little Sprigs of Mistletoe and A Natural Weakness of Co-eds Ruins Omaha Non-kissed League
A little sprig of mistletoe has broken up the "non-kissed" parity league.
The league was organized last fall at the University, Richard Scholes of Omaha was its founder and president. Mr. Scholes is now the only active member of the league. The others also attend, ceased to be eligible to membership.
"Theou shalt not kiss, neither shall thy lips receive the caress of another." was the creed of the organization. It is still the creed and that's why President Scholes is the only remaining member of the league.
At first the membership was restricted to men. Then co-eds demanded and won admission The league was not going to hold parties. "What is the use?" said the co-eds. But all the other fraternities and sororities connected with the university held their annual "affairs". It was whispered that some of the non-kissing men were wavering
The purity League was the most popular organization at the university when it was first organized.
"There's been too much kissing going on around the university," the organizers said.
Then came the big dance, and the membership of the league was still intact. A little bunch of mistittee was the first to discover a chandelier in the center of the room. President Scholes was the first to discover the emblem of folly. He was horrified that it could not be removed without a hider and the jinitter could not be located. The symbolic mistittee remained. The siting room was dinky lighted. There were cory corners, less lighted. And from one of these latter there audiencture a sound that spread conformation.
ALUMNUS THINKS K. U.
HAS LACKED SUPPORT
Cancellor and Alumni Association, Praised by Irving Hill, A.B. '98
STADIUM SOUND PROJECT
Will Yield Ten Per Cent Return on Capital Invested, Hill Says
"The University of Kansas has emerged from a period in which it has been hindered by lack of support in n a number of important directions", says Irving Cronk, executive director, in a statement concerning the Memorial campaign.
Several significant factors in the encouraging change that has taken place were pointed out by Mr. Hill. One of them was e. H. M. Lindley, the new chancellor, has been an inspiration to the institution, the student body, the alumni, and the former student body and the state.
"Since K. U. is the leading institution in the state the condition that did exist was having a serious effect throughout Kansas, which has come to depend more and more upon the KU faculty's trained professional business leadership."
"Through some of the alumni, the Alumni Association was aroused to activity in supporting Chancellor Lindley and the University." Mr. Hill said. "We employed Alfred G. Hill as secretary, and he has done very successful work in building up the Alumni association and carrying on its work with the legislature and with the Memorial Corporation.
Prof. W. J. Baugartner, Dr. F. C. Allen, and others started a movement for a one million dollar memorial to afford a last monument to the war sacrifice of K. U. men and women, 128 of them from all over the world and thousands were to go to an abitantic field and Stadium and the other half million or more was to build a Kansas Union building. Later an effort on the part of the Law alumni to raise $40,000 for a memorial to "UncleJungle" Greenleaf was made, which was deemed advisable to incorporate that with these other purposes and complete it.
"The University of Kansas Memorial corporation, a tax-exempt, educational-purpose corporation, was chartered to handle the Memorial business. When about $500,000 had been subscribed, the McCook field bleachers were condemned and the torn down of the Memorial corporation contract for $250,000 worth of field and stadium. Money was borrowed to complete this contract."
It was undoubtedly the sound of a kiss, and it was accompanied by laughter. The two were confronted by sten members of the purity league. "We reargit," the two culprits chimed together. Then they pointed to a lil' bunch of miscreants. But they didn't leave the corner. Instead they kissed again. A minute later the Purity League had lost two more members. "You cannot resist the mistletoe," all said they as they resigned. About half the membership of the league backslid that evening. The next day there were a number of accusations. The players caused resigned without making any denial. Now the league just has one member, Richard Scholes.
"At the present time something over $700,000 in subscriptions have been received. The successful completion of the campaign is coming nearer as community efforts are beginning to the total, this being brought about through systematic organization work of Memorial representatives.
"Throughout this movement, the spirit for the support of the University has been none of the most remarkable things of any movement that has ever taken place in Kansas. This went through the student body in their subscriptions, then through the city of Lawrence in a most remarkable way; afterward was carried on in other Kansas cities."
Mr. Hill did that the Stadium, the Union and the Green memorial are intended to take care of the intangible phases of education for which it could hardly be hoped to secure appropriations from the state legislature, although they are of great importance in rounding out the education of the boy and girl and of the life and spirit of the institution.
"The Stadium aside from its inspiration for physical education," said the Alumni president, "in it himself a very sound financial project. Director Allen estimates that the increased receipts from this Stadium will amount to almost $4 million per ten per cent return on the capital invested and itself is a five per cent return on the entire Memorial," Hill said.
