THE CO-OPERATIVE SPIRIT
THE COOSEST SPIRIT
In a little town in central Kansas, a splendid thing was done last winter. The boys and girls of the rural high school located there had no place in which to play basketball or to induce in other sports during the winter. The citizens of the town could not see these fifty-five students in need of something that would be a benefit to them and their school work, so after some deliberation they built a gymnasium and contributed the material and labor to the school. The structure is not pretentions; it is a rough, frame, barnlike building. But the enterprise is more than a building—it is a means of bringing the school and community together. It is the gift of a united group who helped when help was needed.
The alumni and students are now being called upon to unite and expend their best efforts toward giving the University a fitting memorial, as well as a practical gift of which it stands in need. This project is a tremendous enlargement of the gift of the town to the school, but the University has a group of supporters proportionately much larger and more influential.
THE ONCOMING OF NIGHT
The pride and satisfaction which the people of Inman have in their gymnasium is reward enough for their efforts—how much more pride and pleasure will the supporters of the Stadium-Union feel from their co-operation in their magnificent memorial.-S. J. B.
A saturn July day, dazzling clear, comes to a triumphant close. Nowhere can this natural process be so well appreciated as from the vantage ground of mountain or lesser height. Mount Oread is such a lesser height, but as a place of observation it serves as well as a mountain .
At the close of one such a day in July, let the observer station himself on the ridge and look to the westward just as the great sun winks his farewell. The crimson and amber so richly bathing the University buildings gradually tone down to sefter shades of rosy pink and then to shadow violet.
As the onlooker gazes into the valley he is startled to see the shadows over the landscape. It is the spirit of night stealthily weeping forth from the cool, green shades of the valley. The shadows of night do not fall—they rise. Of this the observer may convince himself, despite the statements of poets, by standing on Mount Oread and noting how the God of Day doffs his regal crown and how the Sable Goddess begins her soothing sway over the weary world. The valleys first are conquered, then the higher places, until finally Night sits enthroned on the loftest mountain—M. A.
A SIGNIFICANT STEP
The Stadium-Union campaign is an important chapter in the educational growth of the University of Kansas. It is a stepping stone to bigger and better things. But, like all stones in a building, it must be solidly fixed. It will be. Such is the spirit of the people of Kansas behind this immediate need.
Ten years from now the students of the University will look back on these days, ni which a need of the University was filled, with pride. But they will have their problems and their needs.
Perhaps they will be supporting a campaign for a new library, a grow
ing need as the University and its enrollment expand. Or perchance, a drive for the beautification of the University grounds, or a modern conservatory. Whatever it may be, it will be done, because the people of Kansas will it be done and because we, in our day, have seen a great need of the University and have fulfilled that need.
So let the present campaign grow and continue to grow until the full amount is subscribed and oversubSCRIBED. Then will we have done our part to make the University of Kansas, not the twenty-seventh in the list of American universities, but among the leaders—C. M. G.
LIFE AND STYLES
With the constantly changing styles there is a restless desire in us to keep up with "the latest"; to be wearing or using the "really correct" things. It is a task that requires considerable energy as well as bank account and, upon reflection, we wonder why do we it, especially since fashion duplicate themselves in the course of time.
Yes, they really do. Take women's styles, for instance. The full effect in the dress of a few seasonage age was but the return of the kind they were during the Civil War period and that, in turn, was only a copy of the style of dress in which Martha Washington used to please George. The present tendency in brevity may possibly be considered a reversion to the era of Adam and Eve, if one is not too literal.
The present trend in bell trousers is nothing new. Looking at daggertypes of the Beau Brummels of 1870, one would think they were sailors but for their showy cravats (stocks) and stove-pipe hats. Stocks were "all the go" among men in 1910. Perhaps stove-pipe-hats will come in again before long.
The same is true in architecture. Colonial style in houses, the Gothic in churches and cathedrals, the Greek conception in temples, are again predominant.
What is true of styles is true in all life. History repeats itself. Only an old man understands how true that is, Fashions and customs and problems have a way of being new, then out of date, and then suddenly bobbing up as new again. Why is this so? It must be attributed to the inherent discontent in people requiring change. Life is like that—always old and always new—and its effect on styles is just one of its manifestations—W. H.
Oh, for the "spirit of childhood" once more that we might enjoy the coming circus as we once did.
University street cars, the University whistle and journalism type-writers are all equally erratic.
Kansas City Star: "P. Connor rebels." That's more than the University professors will do.
Look what Kansas has brought forward now—a bird with teeth! Come to think of it, Kansas started the movement that has made the United States like the northern half of Africa, not to mention the movement that seeks to take away the filthy weed from men.
Why a new heating plant? A hot air duct leading from some men's rooms to the Hill would make a very efficient heating system.
The German papers are deploring the fact that the late Dempsey-Carpenter fight was very brutal and against all the laws of humanity. Dear Germany, we are very sorry to offend, as we recall how humanely you treated the people of France and Belgium for a period of three years.
The hot weather doesn't have any thing on General Dawes, when it comes to disturbing congressional sleep.
Is it barely possible that with but one more week of the first term to go, nobody has discovered that the Kuku Klan is not with us?
"Fossil Interests Europe," says a headline. Europe ought to be interested in a number of personas on the Hill, then.
It's a good thing that all the men who employ women don't place on them the same requirements that the president of the Atena Insurance company does. If they did there would be a lot of bobbed-haired women out hunting a job as circus riders.
America again leads the way for world peace negotiations; perhaps this time she may even see fit to take out a few shares herself, when the project is completed.
Will the School of Education dinner be biological, sociological, or psychological?
My Pet Hobby Is—
DOGGERELS—WHAT'S YOUR?
My hobbies have been more or less an illustration of the darker and more pessimistic side of the Darwinian theory. I don't knew when my first, low-bond tendency to write dogger manifested itself, although I do remember seeing it in a textbook. A certain callow youth in a sent-English section sent me anonymously the usual heart-bedecked valentine, never dreaming that it would be a comparatively easy matter for me to discover the sender by comparing the writing with the various samples found in a bunch of themes that I had just colloquially referred to as "themes" the themes were returned, young humans found an extra slip in on his which were indicated the following verses: 'There came to me a valentine.'
**uous rhyme;**
The hue forsook my withered cheeks,
Mine ancient heart skipped fifty
beats.
With strings of hearts and scrumptious rhyme:
With feverish haste I scanned the page
page
To see from whom this badinage!
No scrawl, no scratch, no thumb
print black
Brough forth the signature it lacked
A postmark dim, a scrawled address
A stamp that cost two cents, I guess
Were all my bugging eyes beheld
To quell this doubt; the mastery
quell this doubt; the mystery swelled.
I thought of beaux and swankering swains
Who, in my youth, roared sweet refrains
trains
Of deathless love, and also asked
The cooking knowledge I'd amassed
suddenly was brought up short by what at first seemed to be a giant wall. He put his hand out to investigate, when the Thing moved. He tried to struggle through the dense walls, but he made much progress, something like a ton of brick came down on his very tenderest corm. He tried to yell but terror seemed to choke his utterance. He had almost fainted away when the fearful weight on his foot was removed and amid his toors of terror he saw make a deluge, he saw a prodigious flesh gaze at him in 'n friendship glee.
I didn't receive any more valentines
Some gouty swain's rheumatic hear Has shot a much-bueled dart Dyspeptic, sour, a sorry wight. He's wanting me to share his plight
The mystyry dark, unsolved remainne
to xen my heart, to scar my brain
Until a set of themes laid bare

Student Encounters An Ancient Monster
In search or certain museum specimens needed in his work in geology, a heat-worn seer after knowledge climbed to the third story of Dyche Museum. His fatigue was great, for he had been without an airbag with such a charming co-deed that he had forgotten to return home and seek his downy pillow until discovered by the eagle eye of the house mother. Having found the fossil section after his climb, he walked wearily about seeking a specimen of the age of the Jurassic era. These technical words increased his emui.
The monster seemed to be partly buoyed up by the water as it slowly drigged itself after him as he made frantic attempts to flee. Once he had gotten over his fear, it snapped its right eye and flapping its dinosaurian tail in great gleace. Suddenly it opened its cavernous mouth and the searcher after knowledge began to pray with a fervor he had received since the palmies day of childhood.
Having no desire to play the part of a second Johan, he made fresh exertions to leave the giant behind, and the team's defense seemed half rattle and half bird.
of a second Jonah, he made fresh exertions to leave the giant behind, when to his terror the beast, which seemed half reef and half bird, spoke: "Do not leave me in such unseemly haste, my little man, I am unaware of your presence to live on plants. If I had tooth for carnal food, it would be goodbye for you to that co-ed with whom you seem to be in love. I belong to the era just preceding the advent of man upon the earth, and I believe that I am the only living specimen of my kind. The giant thigh bone that you have is an ancient enemy of mine whom I slew in an alteration as to which was the stronger. I proved to be the Dempsey of the two, and so I am here today instead of being there, or at least in part up there. Don't rush away, my little man, for I can tell us about the Mesoscoia age of the world by asking you your way. There's nothing quite like speaking from experience. If you will just quiet down I will deliver a lecture upon the flora and f
lecture upon the flora and fauna of that are."
Suddenly he paused before an immense thigh bone which was as tall as a man and so large that he could feel the weight of it. Feeling that at last he had found something to defer that dreaded "D" for a time at least, he switched on his notebook and began to write. Gradually the scene before his mind's eye took shape. He self-foundering in what seemed a great swamp filled with tropical water-plants. In the distance palms of a vast height lifted up their lofty skin, the soft moisture-laden air caused their leaves to float gently to and fro.
Just then a large bad-like animal which the searcher for knowledge recognized as a Pteropteryx, or flying bird, was studying world history as was his friend who was addressing him, flew toward the would-be-lecturer, and was drawn with lightning-like rapidity into its wide open mouth. The force of his greath breath sucked it down his throat and the monster gave a cough like the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The searcher for knowledge felt sure that he had touched the force of this terrible expansion, but he soon found that instead he had fallen on the platform in the museum where rested the huge thigh bone of the Mesozoic monster. He had been simply trying to catch up with sleep. He rubbed his eyes and looking down at him he saw the words that he had traced there before fore dropping off to the land of nod: "Giant Amphibian Dinosaur Bontorasurus of the Mesozoic Age, Jurassic Era. Weight of thick bone, 570 pounds. Weight of entire body, ninety tons."
Our hero was just beginning to feel a little less uneasy in his new surroundings. Trying, however, to find his way out of the swamp, he
