KEEP ON BOOSTING
Plenty of cheers are forthcoming for the ever victorious ceewen. To attend a university which has a winning team affords us great gratification. We bask in the reflective glory.
But let a team lose one of its early season games and the defeat brings the crowkers into the open. They look gloomily into the future and predict losses which have not yet taken place. They delight in being pessimistic and are very free in explaining what is the matter with the team.
The K. U. football team went against Drake last Saturday and fought a good fight. The fact that they lost should make every student a more ardent supporter and a more enthusiastic booster for the squad. Five hard games are ahead. The outcome of these games will depend to a great extent on the whole-hearted support of every student on the Hill.
Owners of the beast that recently escaped from a zoo in Kansas City have offered $50 for its capture. Fraternity pledges of K. U. are sincerely hoping that no one spots the feline near Lawrence, for they all know that $50 is no mean sum to be added to a fraternity coffer.
THE 1922 JAYHAWKER
The staff for the 1922 Jayhawk has been selected and has been working for more than a week. This is an innovation in the preparation of the annual which presages a better than ever Jayhawk. *
Three new features have already excited interest on the Hill. The proposal for a cover design contest which will bring out the best for an attractive cover, the popularity rivalry context, and the addition of the senior medic department from Rosesedal promise to create unusual interest among the whole student body of the University.
The staff can accomplish much, and the responsibility for a genuine year book rests on them; but it must be remembered that without outside cooperation the annual cannot be its best. The entire University and especially every senior should evince great interest in his annual and do his best to make it his what it should be to the University.
The Jayhawker is published by the senior class and represents its achievements as well as those of other classes and all student enterprises. The Jayhawker should stand as much as a monument to the class of '22 as any memorial that the class may erect in marble or concrete. The Jayhawker should be a constant reminder to every one graduated of his college days and of his Alma Mater. It deserves an honored place in the reading room or in the library. It is an incarnation of those days that might soon be forgotten in the buoy rush of reality and actuality that follows the college career. The interest in the
1922 Jayhawker promises to make it the ideal annual for the following years to emulate.
The Herrick bomb affair makes us think that the job of being a foreign ambassador is rather uncomfortably exciting these days. Or shall we say the job of being valet to an ambassador?
THE LONDON TIMES INSURES ITS READERS
The London Times apparently be liest that its readers are those careful persons who have few automobile accidents. According to an offer printed in the Times, the proprietors offers to pay £2,000 if a reader of the Times is killed in an accident happening to a private motor car in which he or she is riding. Or the Times will pay £1,000 if a reader loses a limb or the sight of one eye in such an accident. Again the Times will pay £6 per week if a reader should be unable to do any further work following his accident or £4 if an accident should render the reader temporarily unable to follow his usual vocation.
All that is necessary for a person in England to accept this offer by the Times is for him to fill out and send in to the Times a registration form printed in the Times and then to order the Times sent to him from a news agent.
Now American newspaper proprietors pride themselves on service to their readers. But much of this service has been devoted to getting news to readers within an hour or so after
it happened. Some guarantee that

every article advertised in their papers is as good as the advertisement claims. Some devote columns of space to raising funds for flood-striken districts. A few proprietors attempt to assist their readers to beat the high cost. For instance the Kansas City Post sold coal this summer at cost. Many newspapers in America furnish free entertainments, now and then, to the children of readers. All conduct campaigns which they claim are for the benefit of their readers.

But not one of the American proprietors, to our knowledge, thinks that his readers are all of that careful class who avoid automobile accidents
or that in case his readers are injured or killed in such accidents they are worth £2,000 to his newspaper.
Must it be said that American newspaper proprietors do not value their readers? Assuredly not. American proprietors place a high money value on their readers. Then why does not some newspaper in New York, for instance, insure its readers against a raise in rent? In Kansas City against injury by the police? Or why does not some San Francisco newspaper insure its readers against a discussion of the California climate?
In our opinion American newspaper proprietors want to give the utmost in service to their readers, it is up to them to inaugurate some such plan as the London Times has started.
COMMUNITY AIR AND GERMS
The class room windows are tightly closed.
*Ker-Choo!* says the student suffering with ill ventilation. He solemnly wipes his nose. His co-sufferers wipe their ears and pray for umbrellas. After things have regained their natural equilibrium in the class room and the students have commenced to concentrate on what the professor is trying to stay a battery of coughes open up with a creeping barrage. The professor fades into the distance, his lips seem to be moving but his voice is drowned in the spray and the noise. After a while the whistle blows.
The students' file out of the classroom wondering what the assignment is for the next day and what the professor was talking about. Some linger to breathe deeply of the fresh air. Others hunch up their shoulders and hurry to avoid the draft. They have a horror of drafts.
They hurry to another class where they spend another hour enjoying
They could do more for humanity and for themselves if they would throw the six cents out of the window and take a deep breath or two while it is open.
After making the day a miserable one for their fellow students they go to their rooms to spend a miserable night in air-tight seclusion. Next day the follow student is sniffing. It is a new theory of evolution: "You give it to me, I give it back, or, take some leave some." Still the tradition of keeping the port holes closed is observed scrupulously. Consequently: dead air, dead brains—and perhaps dead students.
One of those guys wearing the Big chapeau sauntered past the Law steps. A Law shouted, "Say cow you where d'yve the pony your 'quity'" The guy under the hat came back with this, "I don't ride no pony but I can ride any of youroes jackasses standing around here."
Plain Tales from the Hill
You say you've heard a terrible noise over south of the Jayhawkward? And you don't know what it is. What was that awful word you said it sounded like? Wake up guy, that is the Beta machine being armed up
Professor MacMurray, the Czar of the little theatre, says that the aspiring male dramatist personae, who are trying out at present, have no trouble in getting the right emphasis on profanity.
The following are some of the words used by "Sandy" Winsor last night at the rally; iucus, intolerable, humiliation, pernicious, ludicrous, pertinacious, indecorous, reverberation, and sagacious.

Oh, the walk between East Ad. and West,
For stumbling and tripping,it's the best.
It you're feelin' sorto' blue
If you're tired sorta blue
Think you want to "kick off" too,
Just try walking there—we'll guar
enter the rest.
Oh, the walk between West Ad. and East,
Needs a ton of nails and lumber, at the least.
And if it doesn't soon stop wobbling As across it we go hobbling.
We'll all be in the class of "The Deceased."
Speaking of green freshmen, have you heard that self-confessed tale of the sweet little girl who thought all the senior laws were disabled war injured and carried cases? Wednes day if she thinks the senior engineers are ex-cowboys.

If at any time during the past month there has appeared in this column something that ruffled the feathers, the wrong way or seemed in any way unjust, we beg that the offended shall find consolation in the words of a famous philosopher: "The repereate which is simply witty to him who makes it is apt to be grossly rude in the eyes of him who suffers it." For tomorrow the editorship of this column changes hands.
Lonesome Ex-soldier Is Anxious for News
Girls, here's your chance! You who wrote to lonesome soldiers, gobbs and leather-necks during the late unpleasantness, have an opportunity now to cheer up a lonely ex-soldier, the Public Health Service Hospital.
Bull Feller, former vocational man at the University, and known to marty on the campus, has written to him in the New York Times or to vocational men, that he would like letters. Since leaving school last February, FULLer's health has grown steadily worse, and he is still receiving treatment. Extracts from his letter are given below.
When I left the University last February I fully expected to be able to return to vocational training by this fall, but from present indications I will be lucky if I get back at all. My condition grew steadily worse after my return home, and now it is necessary that I go to a sanitarium to try and get back on my feet again.

Dear Professor Walker:
As you no doubt know life in an army hospital is not any too pleasant an existence, so if any of the fellows whom I knew are still in training there, tell them to write. My mail will be addressed to my home here in Wichita and forwarded to me.
I pledged myself in support of the Stadium Fund, and my first installment is due next month. Please let me know when I shall send the money.
Hoping for a most successful football all year for K. U., and wishing the est of luck to you and all of the elows, I remain.
