PAY UP
Pay up. And do it now. The bleachers are down, and construction of the new stadium must start right away if we are to have a place to sit and watch the football games next fall. Something like $7000 is required for work being done at the present time, and not more than $6000 has been paid in.
We got off to a fine start, and we can't afford to lag now. The eyes of the state and other Universities are upon us. We must show proof of our continued interest,
The goal is in sight, but there is a long road yet to be travelled. And whether it shall be a smooth or rough路, depends in a great measure upon how we, as students, meet our payments. The first one is due. Let's pay up. It's just a step to the registrar's office.
The payment of our pledges is not merely an obligation. It is something of far greater significance. It is a matter of individual pride and personal honor.
NEW CONSTITUTIONS
There are today no better examples of the trend toward democracy and republicanism in governments of the old world than the new constitutions of Germany and Russia. The misunderstandings and wrong ideas which the mass of American people have concerning these two very liberal instruments of government is astounding.
The commonest misconception which the American millions today hold concerning the new constitutions of Germany and Russia is that they are nothing other than a collection of rankly socialistic theories. There are plausible grounds for this belief; for one thing, the American people know little about the real contents of the constitutions of the two vastly-changed countries.
It is, of course, true, that the constitutions of both Germany and Russia have provisions of a socialistic character not found in any other constitutions in the world today. But the amount of fundamental democratic doctrine—the principles, of individual rights and republican representation—which are embodied in the fibre of these constitutions far surpasses in quantity and importance, especially in the German constitution, the provisions of a socio-economic nature. Of this fact, the American people are ignorant.
It has been remarked by many educated men and women, prominent political scientists among them, who have read the new constitutions of the Russian and Germany industrial-political republics, that these instruments
resemble in many ways the constitution of our own country. There are stressed in them the same love of personal liberty and equality" and the same democratic provisions for majority rule.
The still newer features, of strong socialistic taint present in the late constitutions are the ones which the opponents of the new Russian and German governments more emphase. In doing so, they forget, seemingly, the other very sensible nine-tenth of the new countries' constitutions.
Before forming a final opinion upon the governments of the new Germany and the new Russia, Americans should personally read the constitutions of the new states. They will be surprised at the many good points contained in them, despite the newer principles of socio-industrial character which make them different from our own fundamental law.

ENTOMOLOGY DAY
The Department of Entomology has inaugurated a new custom in celebrations. Taking advantage of the fact that Prof. S. J. Hunter has been on the job for twenty-five years, the department spent yesterday in observance of the protracted service of its department head and an exhibition of its work.
Much of the credit for the present status of the department is due to the uniring efforts of Professor Hunter. Taking over the entomological work when it was in its infancy and developing it into its present well-organized condition has been his greatest achievement. The Entomology department is probably as great a help to the individuals of the state as any department on the Hill. It is through this department that many of the farm pests that yearly take their toll of Kansas crops, are eradicated. It is through this department that Kansas fruits and grains are saved from the devastation of harmful insects. And almost all of this work that is carried on through the University is the direct result of concentrated action on the
If the past twenty-five years is any indication of the merit of Professor Hunter's work, the next twenty-five should see great results from the efforts of this celebrated entomologist.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
THE OLD SWIMMIN' HOLE
When the winding dusty road was so hot that it blistered the bottoms of your feet and the heat waves that arose along the highway made you dizzy—when you had just had a losing session with your mother in regard to the possibilities of quitting school—when the only girl in the world had completely thrown you over and refused the proffered apple and white mouse that had been so carefully treasured that you might rise in her estimation—didn't the o'l 'swimmin' hole look like the only livable spot in the world?
If you do not thrill at the memories of those carefree days when all the world was ahead of you and many arctic deeds were to be performed, then a large part of your early education was neglected.
The ol' swimmin' hole, stuck off by itself and neglected by everyone except the boys and a few fishermen, was always the place where you took your troubles and problems. After you had sported in the water all alone with your dog and sufficiently cooled yourself off then you went to the secret cave to fight out the problems that we were watching on your mind.
Would you be a dashing buccancer or the drum-major of the United States Marine Band? Either one of the professions held out many opportunities to your youthful mind and the debate in your mina was long and unconvincing, but at last the buccancer was the winner.
Here ten feet under ground you meditated on the possibilities of mighty and valorous deeds to restore your fast falling prestige with the "eminium of the town."
After another corn-alk cigarette and a long drag from the bottle labeled whiskey but filled with cider, filched from the family stock, you climbed out of the cave, first ascertaining that the coast was clear and no enemies were on the horizon.
Poem by Edwin Markham
Edwin Markham, Honorary President of the Poetry Society of America, is to be the University Commencement Day Speaker for the Class of 1921, Mr. Markham has published several volumes of poems, the best known of which is probably "The Men Goe." The Kansaan will print a series of his poems, beginning with this issue.
Fling forth the triple-colored flag t dare
THE NEED OF THE HOUR
The bright, untrameled highways o the air.
Blow the undaunted bugles, blow, and vet
yet
Tourneys to test the sinews of our power.
Let not the boast betray us to forget.
Lo, there are high adventures for this
bear—
For we must carry—as the years in-
The hazards of success, the risks of peace!
What do we need to keep the nation whole,
To guard the pillars of the state? We need
The fine audacities of honest deed;
The homely old integrities of soul;
The swift sometimes that take the part
Of outcast right—the wisdom of the
heart:
Brave hopes that Mammon never can detain.
Nor sully with his gainless clutch for gain.
We need the Cromwell fire to make us feel
The common burden and the public trust
Plain Tales From the Hill
Statistics show that the average housewife travels about two miles per day in discharging her household duties. Which will be only a half hour for the girls who are getting their degrees at the Varsity dances these days.
We need the faith to go a path untrod,
The power to be alone and vote with
God.
Bill Reilly: "The success of the evening is determined by the size of the hole in the hair net."
