up the skills of our students at
University of Kansas, to go fur-
ward in our education by standing for the ideas
of the faculty, for the officers; to be clear; to be cheerful;
to have more serious problems to have more serious problems to have more serious problems to serve to the host of its ability the host of its ability the host of its ability

MORE CRIMSON—LESS BLUE
Lethargy, under the mask of conservation, is about to permeate the student body this fall. K, U. is sitting here on Mt. Oread like an old man nodding in his rocker.
We await the coming of a football game with an, "It's going to be a hard, hard struggle and perhaps, after all, our team is not strong enough to beat our opponents," in our hearts and on our lips. Vociferously we yell with the chorus, "Hurrah for the team," and then turn confidently to our neighbor to whisper, "Do you suppose our line is strong enough to hold in the game next Saturday?" Of course it is strong enough!
Freshmen, entering the University for the first time, hear much about our traditions. They curiously look about to see the tradition and lo-- they behold but little. It is safe to say that one-fourth of the first year men are not wearing their caps regularly this fall. The urge of the paddle is past.
We are too conservative. We have been conservative so long that we are getting cold and gray and uninterested to ourselves. The biggest shock that K. U. has had for many a month was the surprise of winning the Washburn football game so decidedly. We need more thrillers in our lives, more fire in our academic existence.
When the Stadium is finished, it should afford stimulus to our emotions; however, we must take care lest our hearts become so dried up and hive-bound by that time that they will be unable to swell with the pride that such a thing should naturally bestir. When the cafeteria is finished, we shall crowd into the place, grab something to eat, and hurry out again. In a word, we take too little thought of our advantage and put too little trust in our representatives.. Our lack of confidence and white-hot enthusiasm is from psychic rather than physical causes.
What we need is more Crimson and less blue in our thoughts and our convictions and our lives; more sane contention and less passive serenity in student activities.
THE WAR CRY
We, the American people, are experiencing the same sensations regarding war that the small boy experienced with the green apple. We have had to $_{100}$ much—quite! That possibly explains much of the popular clamor for the League of Nations. Perhaps that is the reason we look forward eagerly to the coming Disarmament Congress. The fact is, we are willing to endorse anything that looks like the real thing. We may be a long time getting what we are looking for but nevertheless, just at present at least, it is our favorite indoor sport.
Now up pops the Japanese question with all of its complications.
Here is a little group that believes that war is inevitable. And yet another faction insists that there is nothing to it. But the lamentable truth is that the great majority of us are woefully unaware as to just what the situation is.
what the situation is.
Through the inter-change of missionaries and students, we have come to a much better understanding with our neighbors than our grandfathers, or even our fathers had. And nearly all of these emmisseries agree that there is nothing in this war hoax. Perhaps we believe them in spite of a something in our system that thrills to the very thought of war, even while we are extending every conceivable effort toward peace. Mal de Guerre is a short-lived disease and one recovers at the first rumblings of impending conflict.
Dr. Frank Herron Smith, himself a Kansas man, seems to think the war idea is an invention of the militaristic factions of both countries. He says the whole idea is proposterous. We hope he is right. He certainly is in a position to know.
But we are not willing to place all the blame on the military. For after all, if the masses do not want war and will not fight, we will not have war. There are not half as many militarists as there were antiprohibitionists. In the last analysis —what the people say—goes! And we will never be free from remotely impending war with somebody, until we honestly say we have had enough.
CONCENTRATION
Some one once asked Lord Northcliffe to what one thing he attributed his success and he replied that he didn't know unless it was concentration. When the allies finally chose one and only one guiding genius to direct all their forces in the recent war they won.
Concentration is greater than talent, "blue-blood", "pull", or fame. You can't look out of the window to watch every passing parade if you expect to get your work done. You can't jump to the tone of every band if you expect to get many "A's". A minute of concentration is worth an hour of fiddling around.
The student who concentrates is by no means a "grind," but just the reverse. His lessons are learned, his books put away and he's ready for play before the time wasting student has really begun to study. It's not the time you spend on your lessons, but how you spend it that counts.
Work while you work and play while you play,—concentrate!
Plain Tales from the Hill
The Ku Klu Klan has officially denounced politics and hence forth and forever more wili follow the straight and narrow.
We would like to see what those students think of themselves who are going to write out their own personal recommendations for membership in the Ku Klu Klan. They have the greatest opportunity to be given the biggest blow up they ever had but we can trust Dean Dyer to use the pin freely.
The president of the W. S. G. A. has officially announced that the date rule will be off for "Kissing Time," which only goes to show that their organization is advancing with the times.
Paper says that corrective exercises will be given to the women who are suffering from abused feet. It's not a bad idea to comfortable pontoons like the men.
.
If Doctor Bacon has corrective exercises for bunions she can rest assert that she will have no trouble in getting her classes filled.
We can tell that rush week is over and that nearly every one has settled down to the old greasy grunt, hardening their own cigarettes.
Drastic measures may be necessary at the Kansas State Agricultural College this fall to inform the 200 freshmen that they must wear their caps. The merchants in charge of the sales estimate that probably one bag will cost two hundred bucks have failed to purchase their purple designations.
"What does your father do for a living??" asked one little girl. He replied the other, "he takes up the position in church." -Watchman-Examiner.
Campus Opinion
Repartailess of the small Jayhawk tacked on the sleeve of the Ku Ku uniforms each outfit resembles greatly the gown worn by the Ku Klux Klan. Why does any organization in the University of Kansas copy after a society which is so universally condemned throughout the United States, most of whom are most poor lawbreakers with the exception of the Black Hand.
Editor, University Daily Kansan.
I am far from being a sympathizer of the lawless methods of the Ku Klux and it appears disgraceful for a K. U. organization to copy their dress so carefully. The Ku Ku's must be Ku Ku and not ku Klux.

It is upon the ingenuity of the railways in arranging their train schedules to meet new conditions that will depend whether local option in daylight saving works with the minimum or the maximum of inconvenience.
