THE STADIUM-UNION DRIVE
That "the people in authority in the State of Kansas have resolved that nothing shall prevent the University of Kansas from assuming its proper place in relation to this great 600 perweek" was the significant modeledade made by Chancellor Lindoe propose, convocation speech Tuesday The Stad is paving the way for the concrete; campaign drive which is丸 runumpit among the summer extension; students next week. That he窥 that the University may south. This proper place in the educatice in scheme of Kansas, the first ton Flwas to build a great stadium to the for the continually increasing Tnws which through Lawrence during the football season. Associated with this has been the project for a Student Univ. building.
It is now the time for the previously unsolicited summer session students to show that they too want to see a stadium and a Union building on the campus.
That the Stadium is a necessity in a foregone conclusion, but why the summer session students should contribute to a Union building is not clearly understood by some.
The plans for the Student Union building, which is to be constructed just north of Dyce Museum, specify that the entire third floor is to be used as a dormitory for the use of alumni, friends and former students of the University when they return to Lawrence during Commencement week. Home-Coming day, or other important period, when they find it impossible to find a room in the local hotels.
The second floor is to be devoted to small kitchenettes for the use of students who, wanting to prepare a small spread for a few friends, do not wish to incur the expense of any similar place in Lawrence.
The first floor is to be used for an auditorium. Any student who has been here for any length of time knows that this is a very imperative need of the University. On this floor also will be found lounging rooms sturdy for men and for women.
In the history of the University of Kansas no student or alumnus had until this year ever been asked to contribute to any general campaign for the benefit of the entire University. As a result the average contribution of the entire student body when the campaign was put on last winter was about $85.
Will you do your part to make the summer session campaign a success? —C. M. G.
HAY FEVER
A famous general once remarked that he would rather meet, alone, an armed regiment of the enemy than come within fifty yards of a single goldenrod plant in August. His feeling in the matter is doubtless shared by thousands of co-sufferers who look forward to the advent of the hay fever season with a fear that rises to the point of frenzy when the first symptoms of the seizure appear.
It is the irony of fate, surely, which causes this malady to fasten itself upon those who take the keenest pleasure in out-of-door life. They are forced to foreign many of the delights which the late summer affords and conceal themselves behind doors and windows closed against the possible admission of a minute particle of the mischief-making pollen.
It was considered a sign of super
sensitivity and fineness of constitution
to be subject to annual visitations
of hay fever. For this reason
there were those who rather prides themselves on the fact that they belonged to the select few who received yearly calls from this discriminating enigma. So democratic has the distress become, however, that the red nose and the watery eye are no longer the insignia of aristocracy, but are displaced by all classes with equal grace.
So hay fever has been relegated from its position in the inner circle of society to the rank and file of undesirables and is now accepted at its face value as a public nuisance—L. M. H,
THE SPIRIT OF STADIUM GIFTS

O. Henry once gave a baggar a coin
After passing on a short distance the
baggar, believing there had been a
mistake, hastened back to O. Henry
and said, "Say, you gave me a twent-
dollar goldpiece!"
"I can't help it," said O. Henry "that was all I had."
That incident was an example of charity.
On every college campus are beautiful buildings that have been donated in the name of philanthropy. But when the donor's name and biography occupy conspicuous places on the portals the opinion is justified that a less worthy motive prompted the giving than caused the heart of the trump to be gladdened by O. Henry's humanity.
Contributions toward building the stadium are to be asked of summer session students. In comparison with the aggregate sum, individual subscriptions will be so small that the contributors may regard themselves as well-nigh anonymous. No direct recompense for contributions is offered. Each must find his reward in the satisfaction the giving brings to the giver.
Many a book-dreading boy, decoyed to Lawrence by the Stadium's appeal to his play instincts, will unconsciously and pleasantly find himself on the highway that leads upward. Perhaps his experience will lead other boys to realize that the spirit of unselfishness which is building the Stadium must not be permitted to perish.—J. J. O.
MIXING SLEEP WITH WORK
In these times of hurry and bustle the problem of sleep becomes a very important one. Some have endeavored to solve the problem by mixing sleep with their daily tasks. Among college students there are so many affairs, educational and otherwise, to be looked after during the day, that when night comes, the assignment still remains. Then begins the fight between the assignment and the claims of sleep. This struggle generally ends in compromise, in which the student is often more generous than the instructor in cutting the assignment short.
In considering those who insist or mix their sleep with their waking hours, it is often a debatable question whether they are awake or only walking in their sleep. This form of sleep is accompanied with numerous difficulties. The sleeper who roams at large on the crowded streets of any city is very apt to be rudely awakened by the bump of an approaching car and even if he immediately takes a reclining position, the car is bound to make a lot of racket in passing over, which is very disturbing even to the soundest sleeper. Sleeping in church either in mixed or definite manner is not nearly as dangerous and is a regular procedure among many of the best practitioners. However, it is very hard to score in church, especially during the quiet intervals of the service, as it attracts attention from the minister and keeps the rest of the congregation awake.
The university classroom is not nearly so adaptable to sleep for various reasons. It is true that the services conducted by some of the instructors are often far superior to those of the minister in their hulling effect. However, the professor does
not seem to approve of this form for expressing enjoyment of his lectures. Many of them are given to asking questions and often insist on having the person called on awakened in order that he may give the question proper consideration. And then again there is the possibility that the professor may say something of importance.
On the whole it does not seem practicable to depend upon the classroom for any great amount of sleep; and yet some of the students after remaining for several years have become very proficient in choosing the classes best suited for snatching a few hours of rest. Some have even taken the same course a second time. However, as long as some persons persist in being very awake during their working hours, the rest of us must at least be very careful in choosing the time and place in which we mix our sleep with our daily tasks. — J.

We read so often of trolley car motormen sticking to their posts after hope of averting the crash has been abandoned that we wonder whether they should be decorated for bravery or treated for paralysis.
Apropos of the present noticeable decrease of thefts and other crimes in Kansas City, it may be remarked that prosperous folks take their vacations about this time of the year.

An artistic soul would be a comfortable asset these days. Sitting in the cool shade of a campus tree painting landscapes beats laborious notetaking in a heated lecture room, as a summer pastime.

Charles Gray Shaw, Ph.D., says,
"Love may be the sixth sense." Perhaps he is right, but the sixth sense generally disappears when a man at last regains his original five.

One successful student in the School of Law is known to have a gold-lettered sign bearing the words, "Attorney at Law" hung above the door of his "office" on the floor of a fraternity house.
Why do the cartoonists persist in picturing teachers in the garb of fifty years ago when many of the profession now wear skirts as short and those as thin as their sisters in other callings?

There is one girl in the University who intends to buy a wrist watch as soon as possible. The other day she wanted to know what time it was, so she hurried up to a group of four girls in the party. The girl glanced at her wrist watch and began talking to her companions. Girl number one turned to a man in the group and asked him the time. He took out his wallet and added his bit to the topic under discussion. Turning to a third mum

ber of the group, the girl again put her question. The third member slowly pulsed out his watch and as slowly put it back, nodding his head meanwhile in agreement with something which had just been said. In despair the girl wailed, "faint anyone" and the time?" As one, the three men stared at the turned to her and said, "I told you the time ten minutes ago." - M. M.

My Pet Hobby Is—
SEVERAL THINGS-WHAT'S
FOURS
The other day a man asked me what my pet hobby was and not having thought much about it, I tried to decide what said hobby could be. And I thought that think this is about the most elusive sport goal, just try it for yourself.
When I started huntin' a hobby I decided that it must surely be swimming, as that is most probable this time of the year, but when I figured as to why I went swimming I decided that tennis must be the object of my quest but that was all wrong again because I play tennis to get a relief from studying, and that studying by assignments on my school work.
Then I noticed that it was time to eat, that being one of my most regular habits and pleasures, so I just decided that finding a hobby was the most elusive purpose I have tried to achieve. My hobby is just living a normal life filled with as many habitas as there are fruits in a mine饼 A, W, N. B
