YOUR STADIUM AND UNION!
To you, summer session students: Many of you are former students of the University, returned to get advanced instruction that you need in your work; you have taken degrees from this University. This summer's enrollment of 1152 represents the present culmination of the steadily increasing popularity which has met the advantages of the K. U. summer session.
The University is your own, just as it belongs to the students of the winter months. Virtually all of those in winter attendance, when the great Stadium-Union drive was launched, to show their K. U. spirit, their appreciation of its advantages, made record-breaking subscriptions towards the realization of the goal. These students have made the project a certainty, something real to enlarge upon.
Think of what the Union Building will mean for those in the summer term! The big swimming pool which will do away with the present limitation of swimming facilities in Robinson Gymnasium; the great recreation, reading, and lounging rooms with spacious ballroom adjoining where social evening may be planned to the best advantage.
This week you will have the opportunity to further fulfill those aspirations, to make intentions "concrete."—W. L. H.
Most of you are in the teaching profession. You can well appreciate what the Stadium will mean for the staging of high school athletic meets. Your own students will certainly not forget your part in making this possible. It means a triumph in the advantages that this state will have to offer in the way of education.
THE WHY AND THE WHERE FORE
"What is a Union Building?" you ask. And why should we students who are here for the first time, and who do not expect to be here after this summer, contribute? You say: "We have helped to build memorials and memorial buildings in our home towns for our soldier dead. Why should we help here, where we do not know anybody and are only attached to the institution temporarily?"
Here are the answers:
THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
In the first place, a Union Building is a large structure built for the convenience of the present students and in memory of those who were students and will never return. It is a building where students can hold their meetings and gatherings, where they can have their entertainments, eat their meals, study their lessons, and the returning alumni can sleep. Briefly this is the purpose of a Union Building.
Of course you are here for the first time, and maybe you do not expect to come back to school again. Of course you have gladly helped to build memorials to your soldier dead, who were personal and dear friends of yours.
To you who say you never expect to return to the University of Kansas the small amount that you will pledge to the Stadium-Union drive will seem to mean little at the present time.
to teach these we use the present tense.
But did you ever go to a dance and after the dance keep the program, take it home and put it away, where in the years to come you value it more and more. Was that program of any value on the night of the舞, when there were hundreds of chances to get more? No. But after ten years have gone by, and in looking over some old keep-
sakes you come across the dance program you think of the memories it brings back.
Now when you put away that receipt for the Stadium-Union contribution you make and in looking over your old possessions in twenty years from now, you find it again, what memories will it bring back? You will think of that summer spent at the University of Kansas, and mayhap of the son or daughter who is enrolled there. And you will be gidd that you helped to build a memorial to the soldier dead, that your children can say, they helped indirectly; and also, that your children will be able to take advantage of the splendid Stadium, and the Union Building.
There will be no chance ten years from now to help. Often things that seem of trivial importance now gain value with the years. The victory medals our soldiers get now are not of one-thousandth the value they will be to their grandchildren.—A. E. G.
THE PRIVILEGE OF GIVING
can anyone enjoy a thing, in the production of which he has had no part? Does not Johnny find that the apple he earned by running an errand tasted far better than the one simply given to him? Is it not the first dollar we earned—and spent—the biggest and best we ever possessed? It would be acknowledged by any one, after a
we fully appreciated until something is known of its cost, not in money alone but in actual labor and worth.
In the discussion as to whether summer session students should be asked to make pledges to the Stadium-Union fund, the real question is: Why should the students of the summer session not
oa allowed the greatest privilege possible—that of making a pledge to the fund? How unfair it would be to deny them the feeling that they have really a part in the making of the finest memorial that has ever been conceived for the heroes of whom they are proud. Would it not be unjust not to give these students a chance to contribute
the big dollar—the spending of which gives so much enjoyment.
INCREASE K. U. PRESTIGE
gives so much enjoyment.
It is for the highest satisfaction and greatest interest to be obtained in a recognized work of worth that everyone should have a share in its execution; for, in the end, is it not always found that "it is more blessed to give than to receive?" 7. S., J. B.
Rock Chalk, Jayhawk! must ring out in a new stadium for the Kansas-Missouri game this next fall. What could more successfully put the fear of K. U. in those Tigers' hearts than a fine new stadium surrounding them while fighting a losing battle.
K. U. must send each visiting football team home with such tuches of splendor and good fellowship that all the United States will hear of the new unfathomable something which "Phog" Allen has instilled in the school. We have been praised the past year for our good sportsmanship in face of defeat, for our fine plays regardless of the diminutive final score gained, our high morale in spite of inequality in size and experience.
These praiseworthy characteristics make a fine foundation for victory and with such an example of popular support, victory is assured. You Kansans can each aid in hastening this guarantee of an all-victorious sports season and in establishing an extensive Jayhawk prestige.
Never does a student look more wisely alert than just after he has found himself asleep during a lecture.
Subscribe to the Stadium-Union fund and be proud of your Alma Mater—B. C.
It is painful to grind out a thought and lack expression but more painful not to grind out a thought and lack expression.
On the Hill at 7:29 a. m. speed copes would have to exceed the speed limit.
In many cases the quiz is like the Irish question: it evokes no satisfactory answer.
Now since we know what camouflage means we don't meet it often enough to jog our memories a bit.
We say that getting the right naut after the dance or getting the right Ford after the show hasn't anything on getting the right letter after a quiz.
Those who can't pull away from the Library these afternoons for a swim in Potter Lake may have a similar sensation plodding away with the thermometer "on high."
The neighborly visitor who persists in prescribing to a sick man must be some relation to the student who is always ready to suggest the length of the next assignment to the teacher.
A man in Kentucky is accused of having shot six persons. He must be the original six-shooter.
Now the warm ardor of the spring romance is giving way to a hot longing for an electric fan and mother.
We were prepared for prohibition by a year's warning. The government ought to make a dispensation for that poor fellow down in Arkansas who just came out of a year's mooze.
Pool is the game the hot stude enjoys in the Gym these days.
"Selfish interests are responsible for this road-building propaganda," complains a rich farmer living near the city. "Why should I pay taxes," he cries, "to aid country farmers to get their produce to market as cheaply as I can."
When you start for little. Roscoe with a club and a murderous glare, your wife screams and pleads, not because she thinks you are going to kill him, but because she wants the thrill of thinking she has married a cave man.
Speed the day when prohibitory legal isolation will aid us in keeping on continually broken resolutions to stay away from movie houses.
Advice to new students: Buy big shoes, get a straw hat and a swimming suit if you want to be up to the minute in togery.
The green, green grass on the Hill presents somewhat of a problem to the superintendent of grounds. And it was only a short time ago that students were requested to refrain from doing their part to keep down the verdure.

While not many students make a pretense of breaking any speed records, it is striking how adept some become in doing three hours reading in forty-five minutes.
The man with the back seat of his "marvelous" car habitually empty and the woman who had "such wonderful luck with her cake yesterday," are, after all, alike.

"Who is that lady across the street?" asked a mother of her small son.
It was perhaps the same boy, grown to manhood, who said, "People are divided into three classes—men, women, and teachers."
The woman must have been some relative of his, who, when naked how many children she had, replied; "Five, living, two dead, one teaching school."
I want none of these remarks to be applicable to me in my relations with my pupils. I wish to be the ward of a girl, and I wish to ride with the mofy of my boys. I wish to "live in my house by the side of the road and be a friend" to them all. With all my heart I wish to be human, though a girl. What's your hobby?—G. E. M. What?
