SANDEFUR STEPS FORTH
MONDAY, MAY 2, 1921
Kansas athletes produce when they are called upon to do so. Sandefur sprang a surprise at the Pennsylvania games Saturday by heaving the sixteen pound shot away for first place and by taking second place in the discus throw against all the notable athletes of the United States and all other competitors.
Bradley did not succeed in duplicating his wonderful record of last year in the Pentathlon, but gained third honors in competition with the best all-around men the country has produced. *
Athletic boosters have been watching the big man work this spring with deep interest and his consistent performances in meets this spring have stamped him as championship material. His unusual performance, however, at Pennsylvania in placing so high in both of his events has warranted this confidence in his ability.
HUMAN NATURE, G. B. S.
Considering the unfavorable weather last Saturday for the games, both Kansas entries acquired themselves well and Kansas owes them honor and praise for carrying her colors so well into the fields of schools much older and with great athletic reputations. Their laurels are our laurels. We are proud of them!
G. Barnard Shaw, "the keenest mind in Great Britain," says "When a war is over, the first thing to be done is to get rid of all the men who have come to the top by pushing it through. A war needs for its successful prosecution of one idea; the idea of winning at all costs. This is a soldier's business; and the soldier must be backed by statesmen—on whom nature has imposed the limits that are imposed on the soldier by his profession. But the moment the war is over, this limitation becomes disastrous. The one idea of victory is replaced by the one idea of security: the dread of defeat, instead of being removed by victory, is merely transferred to the next war."
Now, and let it be distinctly understood that we make our approach with what we hope is the proper amount of humbleness and respect, there is one question that might be asked at this point: isn't it a fact that everything we strive to accomplish as individuals has back to it the idea of security, the dread of defeat, and the better preparation of ourselves for life's battles to come, whether we are to engage in the gentle art of prize fighting or the genteel practice of law?
In all fairness, now, G.B.S., we ask you if that isn't true? And if true of the individual, why not of nations? Human nature, G.B.S., is a hard thing to explain, and a yet harder thing to get around. So why even sug-
cost the "transportation of Clementeon Poincaré, Lloyd George and Marshall Foch to some pleasant island in the South Sea, and the cutting off of all communication with that favored spot for three years at least," just because they are getting ready for the next war? They're human, G. B. S., Why, even the good old United States is going to have a cracking big navy and a board of war strategy with General Pershing as its head. It's hard, G. B., but you know human nature.
STRIKE WITHOUT WARNING
Thirty-four years ago almost to the mouth the New York Herald contained an article concerning Prince William, later the prime mover in the World War. It went something like this: "Prince William is a fiery, dashing young Husser who has in him the making of a second Frederick the Great. He is a soldier, has his spurs to win, and is firmly convinced of the wisdom of attacking As soon as and as suddenly as possible."
This policy was carried out in the Great War. The results are plain—tyranny and aggression have been dealt a staggering blow by the united forces of right and liberty.
Again, almost yesterday, Premier Briand of France said: "Strike Germany, and strike without warning," in his conference with Lioudo George. This is nothing more or less than a restatement of the policy of the Hohenzollem empire of thirty years ago. Will its culmination in the hands of the French see another world empire come to naught? As France has suffered defeat and exploitation repeatedly from her ancient foe, has been ruined, despoiled, plundered, and outraged without cause, she is justified in asking for separation by force from Germany, if she does not carry this policy as a chip upon her shoulder for years.
This policy led to the World War I and to the loss of millions of lives. Its establishment coming from the lips of a braid sounds like the waking cry of a new militarism, one intended to strike at the vitals of the recuperation empire of Germany; yet, until German has atoned for the blood of the millions, and made full preparation for serious crimes, this call to arms is a just though relentless, step in the marrow of justice.
Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The University Daily Kanan in the issue of Friday, April 29, carried an article in its editorial columns labeled "Existence Unjustified" condemning the Ku Ku Klan, stating that the Khan "had been discredited by the athletic association to the extent of refusal to recognize the complimentary tiggers issued to them last fall."
With all due respect to the write of the article and the members of the Kaisan board, the above statement is correct. This comes from no authoritative sources.
The Ku Klu Klan, organized in the fall of 1918, was formed to arouse enthusiasm and promote a stunt for the Missouri-Kansas game on "Day" of that year. The committee members of the organization to the proper authorities and received their permission to stage a stunt for the game with the understanding that all students who participated in the stunt were to be admitted to the game free of charge. At that time it was known that they would be of the plan to make the organization permanent.
Realizing the good that an organization of that nature could do the University, the men who participated in his stunt the full of 1918 for the
K. U.-M.U. game were called together in the fall of 1919 by the leaders of the year store for the purpose of perfecting a permanent organization. Lloyd Young was elected President, Arlet Stiegler was chairman, and treasurer. The proposition was taken to Dr. Forrest C. Allen for consideration and it received his hearty approval. Doctor Allen in return gave the Ku Klu Khan the concessions for football season. Members of the team were issued which follows.
This is to certify that John Doe is an active member of the kU Ku Klan, pep organization of the University of Kannas for the year 1920-1921 and is to be admitted to all athletic events free of charge—running in any event. Signed Lloyd Young, Chief Ku Ku and Forrest C. Allen, manager of athletics. This alone disproves the statement in the Kansas that the athletic associa-
ion had discredited the Ku Klu Kiun refusing to recognize the complimentary tickets. It was never the intention of the athletic association to admit the members of the Klan to athletic events free unless they staged a stunt of some kind. At each and every time the team played in an attenty they have been admitted to the event free and at no other time
Some of the criticisms were true and the members of the Klan realize it, and are endeavoring to do their best to remedy all defects but it takes time, money and a lot of hard work. All of the most prominent organizations on the Hill such as the en's Student Council, W, S, G, A, and others were not covered over night. This is the first year that the Ku Klan decided to take the Ku Klan permanent organization. The Ku Ku Klan can not function properly without each and every student supporting it as well as members of the faculty.
In spite of the many realized defects which will be remedied, I wish to call attention to some of the credential issues that our company faces its first year as an organization, this
year; Pledged $1,000 to the Kansas Stadium University. Supplied the Football squad with fruit during the season at an expense of $175.25. Staged stunts on the home field for every conference football game, in a media information organization. Accompanied the football team to Manhattan where we were not allowed to stage a stunt by the Aggie athletic stunt on the field bit through any discredit of the K., U. athletic association. Parades were held. On this trip each member had to participate in an emergency defray expanse which gave a great deal more.
The Klan accompanied the football team to Oklahoma carrying 38 men. Each man received $14 from the Klan while the railroad fare, roundtrip, was slightly over $29.00. The balance came from the pockets of the members. The Klan also accompanied the team to Oklahoma and dropped down town, sang and gave yells at the Daniel Boone tavern and staged a stunt at Missouri that was highly complimented by the Columbia papers. On the Missouri trip, the members of the Klan received only $5.00, the balance of the expenses being paid by the members out of their own pockets. Many of the men are still broke from these expenience. In addition the Klan sold tickets for the Women's Association dance in is now and has been selling the season baseball and track tickets for the K. U. athletic association.
Do the above named achievements warrant its continued existence with every indication that its many defects will be remedied and that by next year the Ku Ku Ku will be something that the whole university and its alumni will be proud of? -John Ballard Old,
Plain Tales From the Hill
"Some people's idea of 'Spoon' is something made by Roger Brothers in 1847," said Saccharissima to her young sorority sister.
Is there any one who has not heard of the student in *Narration* and Description who wrote this line in one of his stories. "And then William went to the window, opened it, and threw his chest out?"
A prominent Lawrence doctor ran his new Ford point blank into a show window of one of the ten cent stores the other day. Quite a crowd gathered around the scene of the accident and a good many giggles and titters were heard. The woke on the Doctor, the store, or the Ford?
"Will you go to "The Devil" with me this evening?" said a male voice over the telephone.
"You must have the wrong party," came the answer in some what warm tone of voice.
There was a picture show down town that afternoon by the name of "The Devil."

An editorial, published in the Pennsylvanian, which urged a separate college for women, failed to meet the approval of the Penn women students. In fact, they were rather indignant over the idea. A leader of the junior
Along with other rights, we are entitled to the best education that the best universities can afford. Therefore, if we desire to attend the University of Pennsylvania, the men and women have nothing to say on the matter.
A departure from the usual custom is being inaugurated in the Administrative offices of Colorado College this semester. Students will be registered during the two weeks of May 2 to 14, inclusive, for the work of the first semester of next year. Definite schedules will be ready for the students to make out their course of study. A detailed scheme will be sent out April 23. It is expected that each student will report to the office of the registrar or

that each student will be required to the office of the resistor or to his master's degree, though his plans for returning to college next year may be uncertain.
"To distinguish us from the male student by the term 'co' is insulting to the least. I think that a nation-wide campaign should be conducted by all co-educational institutions to abolish the word."
It was deeded at the annual convention of the Mississippi Valley Historical association, which was held at Madison, Wisconsin, that the convention next year will be held at the University of April. This decision was the result of an invitation extended to the association by the historical society of Iowa and the department of history. About 150 professors from the middle states will attend the convention at the University next year.
