The Daily Kaanan aims to pick students from the University of Kansas, to go for a visit to the campus, or by standing for, the ideals that they want. The artistry, to be clean, to be cheerful to have more serious problems, to leave more serious problems to the highest of ability the students are able to accomplish.

HOSE PLEDGES ARE DUES?
The first payment of the Stadium Union contributions are due now and are payable at the office of the Registrar. These words strike horror to the hearts of most students, because this is the season of many payments. Bills come in every day.
BACK TO THE FRONT
We must remember the spirit of the Stadium-Union drive and its Memorial significance. We must not allow the immense amount of work that has been put into it to be lost because of late payments. We must meet this obligation, of all our various interests, first and promptly. It means actual work will start on the project. Let's dig up!
Diploma fees, Jayhawker payment,
class dues, and the usual other bills
all come together for a vicious onlaught
on the student accounts. Yet
students are paying their pledges
cheerfully at the present.
The Allied Command has delayed action, sent notes, held numerous councils, threatened, enajoled, promised, u.g. d., and even plead with Germany to realize that she must accede to the demands of those whom she despoiled in the war; yet she remains obdurate and undecided.
The Allies took over additional territory to quicken the excursion of affairs, but a lethargic Germany would not come to any agreement. Now the Allied forces are beginning to mobilize on the border on masse, and will invade deep into the Ruhr Valley after the probation period is over unless a settlement is reached sooner.
The French armies in their blue uniforms and with their long rifles and clattering seventy-fives are swinging toward the Rhine. They lustily sing the Marselliaise on the march, and at night in the cafes and around the billets sing "Madelon" and other favorites. The whole of France is activity, ellipsed only by the days of 1914.
They go gladly with their ration of brown bread and wine. They are going to force a beaten but sullen foe to make preparation for its outrages on the Marne, the Aisne, in the Champagne, and in the Argonne. Their hopes are high, their hearts beat strong, their guns are ready, and the honor of the Tri-color of France is their creed.
If Germany still remains deaf at the end of the ten-day period, she will be invaded by an orderly but relentless and bitter host. If she is wise, she will give her last flening to avert the loss of irrecoverable territory, because the polish of 1914 to 1919 knows no mercy or retreat where it is not due.
Diplomacy, international councils, and ultimatums have failed; force can
not fail The eruix of the situation will be known when the remaining eight days are past. In the meantime the Allies are moving men and supplies forward for any emergency.
The Los Angeles Times, in an interview with Dan O'Leary, champion long distance pedestrian of the world, asserts that if every woman would take a ten mile hike in the open every day the standard of beauty would be raised a full 100 percent.
BEAUTY WALKS
Women will do almost anything to attain beauty except to walk for it. They will dance for it, and appoint themselves with all kinds of lotions and creams, but just now they are doing their best to forget that they ever know how to walk. True, hikes are still fashionable, but most hiking is now done in automobiles. The few who do take long walks once in a great while are so unacustomed to it that they fall back on the old methods rather than get "so worn out."
So Dan, you will have to think up some other way to make our ladies lovey if you hope to make a hit.
Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan;
Prior to five years ago, May 1 was class scrap day on the campus. Five years ago the Chancellor promised to set aside May 1 as a holiday if the students would abandon these scraps. This was agreed to, but during the past three years this holiday has not been forthcoming. Should it not be revived, this would help to hear some sentiments through this column in an effort to stop the abolishment of the school customs.—H. H.
Plain Tales From the Hhlil
Professor Goldwyn Goldsmith says that wages these days are all wool—they keep shrinking.
A band of ascenders stopped at the Gamma Phi Beta house one night not long ago, and, noticing some ladders left by the painters who are at work there, the impressed singers congratulated them. Consequently, the ladderws were set up against trees near the house and the whip-poor-wills and night-in-gales climbed into the tops of the trees. Are we to suppose that the purpose of such maneuvers was to get the position to reach the high notes?
The story of the only K. U. woman with perfect feet was being discussed in Newspaper II class.
Prof. Dillon: "Is this a human interest or a feature story?"
Joe Turner: "If the story is about feet then it must be a feature story."
The hardboiled professor with the trenchant tongue must have had some idea in mind when he made this bitter critic of the rattle-brained stud: it was his way of saying anything the he seems to subtract from the sum total of human knowledge."
baptismal ceremonies held during cap which she salvaged from the outburst of chaos just previous to the baptismal ceremonies held during the course of events at the W.A.A. circle? And is she showing her trophy proudly, as spoils from an anvil? Or does she show them, she finally overcome, in the
terrific struggle? (Whispiher to that the said gray cap belongs to 7-year-old Bob Flint who was acting as a guard for his little brother, George, a custodian of elephants at the show. It was Bob's first honest-to-goodness grown-up cap, and the little fellow is griefstricken over the loss.)
A Kansas City minister was delivering a sermon on "Children" a short time ago. As the speech progressed, the presacher wowed eloquent but right in the middle of his discourse it made a statement which brought laughter from the K.U.Freshman who happened to be in the andrew's room. It's funny that he taught you gentleman, it's a great time for you when your little one begins to toddle and put its soft cheek up against yourself!
Dean Blackmar says: "Some women can keep house; others clean house." What does the man mean?
Co-operative buying to reduce the yearly expenditure of fraternities for their food supplies, was favorably discharged by the Metropolitan hellenic at Ohio State. About $180, 000 a year is spent by all the fraternities for food alone, and this amount is used by the co-operative buying is inaugurated. A committee was named to investigate
the possibilities of the plan.
Goodbye Bleachers, May 10.
Springtime Sports Are Many. But There Is Only One That Holds an Appeal for Everyone
Nore's favorite pastime, so we are told, was fiddling, conducted under the mellow influence of Roman wines and in the glaze of burning cities. But Nero wasn't a student any more than was Diogenes whose favorite occupation consisted in paddling the river. He searched for an honest man.
Now consider the K. U. student—there is only one universal spring astime which strikes a like sympacial chord in the hearts of all of U.'s protegues, but there are other curious so-called factional recreations that have a place in this discussion.
For instance, after due research, a senior student was found who proclaims that his spare moments are spent in translating Greek philoxenology. Another senior student likes to blow soap bubbles for the scientific pleasure he derives from timing their endurance. But there's something wrong with him, too. And since this article purposes too, at least by taking into account which practiced and enjoyed by the big major, there is no time here for exceptions
On Other Hills
A campaign to raise $200,000 for the University hospital and medical school is to be conducted throughout Colorado in the near future. The Rockefeller foundation has given grants to three institutions: Stanford University, in connection with its summer quarter work, will give a six-week course, beginning June 1, for the training of leaders and instructors in various branches of physical education in public schools, high schools, colleges, community colleges, and recreation enterprises, Y. M. C. A. and similar organizations, including the coaching of athletic teams, Experienced experts will have charge of classes in the theory and methods of basketball, baseball, football, basketball, track and field sports, gymnasies, and public or community recreation.

At the beginning of school, poker,
that greatest of national indoor
sports, used to be very popular as
offering relaxation from daily asso-
ciation with other people and
proaches with its growing thirst and
the subsequent cost of assigning it,
and as the end of the school year
draw near, bringing with it the
thinking process. As a rule, well,
there just don't seem to be any
spare change left for poker.
And, as for pool and dancing, they both fall short of the ideal spring recreation. First, because of the fajuclional element involved, and second, because with those who indulge in these indoor sports they frequently take more of the form of permanent occupations than their recreational interactions? Hiking! Well, yes to some extent But you know the effect of hiking, on the perfect foot encased in a pair of these English walking shoes with pointed toes!
And now for the big surprise,
the climax. Ever take a stroll in
the soothing dusk of a young spring
evening with the only girl in
the world by your side, and with only a
big, jolly, full moon for a chaperone?
