K. C. AND K. U.
MONDAY, APRIL 18, 1921.
The Kansas City alumni phase of the Stadium-Union Drive had beer running along smoothly and quietly until the other day. Nobody had said much about it, and nobody had heard much about it. But something has been going on over there for the past several weeks, and that something developed into the biggest alumni meeting in the history of Kansas City at the Muehlenbach Saturday night.
The Kansas City Jayhawkers certainly have not lost the Kansas spirit. There were nearly 900 former students and graduates at the banquet Saturday night—400 men and women who are capable of putting the drive across in Kansas City if anybody is. They have gone about the quitter query, without saying much. But it is apparent that they have accomplished wonders. The big explosion of K. U. pop Saturday night was not spontaneous. It was the result of weeks of preparation that have gone on quietly and without ostentation. But how effective that preparation was!
Kansas City may be expected to fill her part of the new K. U. program admirably. With such zeal as was manifest at the meeting Saturday night, the Stadium-Union drive will assuredly be carried to a triumphant end.
THE FUTURE PROM
The Junior Prom this year was all that a party of its character should be without any regrettable complications. The participants were well entertained and every one was evidently satisfied with the party.
The almost flawless management calls to mind, however, by way of contrast, the actions and sentiments of a certain percentage of students always found in such a large student body. They are the ones who believe in no rules, no restrictions, and no standards of conduct. They have been in the minority here this year with one or two exceptions; but as a warning against their possible influence it is well to review the action of the Committee of Student Affairs at the University of Michigan in discontinuing the Junior Hop there.
The Committee found it necessary to abolish the Hop there because a number of those present persisted in bringing liquor an in smoking promiscuously and indiscriminately at the party. The vital reason for this discontinuance, however, was the action of individuals and fraternities in flagrantly violating the rules governing house-parties and dances in connection with the Hop. These rules were made by the students and fraternities themselves, and as a consequence, their violation was an open breach of student opinion, as there had been no agitation or action to rename the rules in force.
Those students who did not countenance the vulgarities of the past
Hops are the ones who are paying for the actions of others by being denied the time honored party this year. The
management has proved itself to be umable to cope with "individual caddisness and the selfish recklessness of groups of men from whom better things might be expected."
The stand that the fraternities and men of the University of Kansas have taken this year in co-operating with
taken this year in co-operating with the administration practically eliminates the possibility of such an occurrence here; but the necessity of constant guard against the insidious influences that emanate from unethical organizations and individuals in the school cannot be over-estimated or disregarded. The last Prom was a success from the view point of student conduct and should continue to be the biggest, best party in the University as long as the students show themselves worthy of participation in it.
SLAVERY TODAY
Regardless of any ulterior motives that may have influenced the Civil War, its purpose ostensibly was to free the negroes of the South from their hopeless slavery. Little did the Great Emancipation think that his Proclamation of Freedom would be公开 violated as it is today in the cotton-growing sections of the South, according to a native of Louisiana writing for the New York Evening Post.
This system of peonage originated among the landlords who, supplying negroes with tools, funds, and equipment, kept them in real or assumed debt for life. In this condition they sold them and bartered them as land and personal property, because of their indebted hold on them. The writer claims that these watered accounts hold the negroes today in practical bondage as they possess too scanty an education to fight their way out of it. The negro has no voice in the settlements of his accounts, even though he knows they are dishonest. He is a slave, a peon, a "debor" for life.
The writer further claims that this condition exists throughout the entire cotton-growing district of the South, and that those honest landlords who dare to protest against the situation are threatened with death and often dealt with summarily. This is an outrage and a diagrace to an enlightened country which was ultratic enough to enter the Great War to guarantee the rights of citizenship and liberty. This practice is an ingrowing
cancer which, if allowed to continue indefinitely, will eat out the heart of the democracy.

Letting Out The Headache

Will she spit if I stay
Will she get mad and scold,
Will she spat if I stay out till after nine?
Headaches are bothersome things. People have been annoyed by them for a long time, seven thousand years. We all quite willing, when afflicted with a headache, to agree with the people of the old stone age that a headache is a demon and we would be willing to do almost anything to get rid of it. The pain, whether due to the demon or nervousness, or other cause, certainly reminds one of a demon, and it is readily understood how ancient man should have conceived of releasing this demon which was bothering him. He devised an effective cure for headache, whether the pain was due to eye-strain, brain, skull fracture, or nervousness, although it must be admitted that his cure was worse than the pain. Primative man devised his curative meanest liefs, hence the cure adopted for headaches was a religiosa rite. The operation was performed by a shaman or medicine-man in some remote fastness of his region, and the patient was treated with the same treatment consisted in opening the snail in a variety of ways to relieve the pain, or, as the stone-age man thought, to let out the demon. Men in the stone-age phase of their culture whether in Peru, Mexico, France, Kazakhstan, Russia, and so on, practiced this method of relief, and

In modern times a person afflicted with a headache goes to the drug store where he purchases several five-grain tablets and swallows them with a drink of water. The remedy is not simple, because "chemistry was not so simple. In the halcyon days, when our forefathers waged big battles by throwing stones at each other, they used to cure headaches by boring holes in the skull. Anyway, that's how we are supposed to be University of Illinois, says in a recent number of the Scientific Monthly.

"No special class of individuals seems to have been favored since the operation was performed on man, woman, and child, apparently without respect to either age or sex. Its frequency is attested by the great number of skills exhibited by patients in the bone mound in France yielding the bones of 120 individuals more than 40 showed the effects of traumatism."
it is said to be still employed in the highlands of Peru and Bolivia and in northern Africa. This ancient surgical art, which forms the very beginning of prehistoric surgery, sems to surgery, seems to have been dever oped first in the region just north of Paris near the Seine and Oi rivers some seven or eight thousand years ago. In the domes, or burial mounds, headache and scull are the result of skull in a variety of ways to relieve headache and who had their skull trepanned or opened to release the 'headache demon.
"It isn't very pleasant to picture the torture undergone by the ancient sufferer at the honds of the preis, who cut, scraped, or bored the bone of his head and thief with a stick of stone. Some relief from pain may have been had by the application of a quid of coca, a plant yielding anesthetic substances which grows in Peru. But the worst thing about this is that with it an ancient people, not deterred by one failure, submitted themselves to the operation again and again. A few ancient skulls erval five cruel injuries, which had all healed. The patient was unconscious, and the equipment of the primitive surgeon was meager. His knowledge of cleanliness was not keen. If he possessed a rough flint knife, a scraper, a few leaves of the coa plant, and a piece of coarse cloth to bind the wound he would find himself on the woods served him for an operating-table."
Spring Poetry
Drive back cold winter's forces.
Bid tender blades of grasa to grow
Hurry the brooks on their courses.
SPRINGWINDS
Blow springwinds, more softly and bear
Blow springwinds from the southland blow
The ultimate video perfume
Waft from the southland a fragrance as rare
Blow spring winds from the south breathe and blow
As the breath of a wild rose in June
The delicate violet's perfume,
breathe and blow
Already the robin and swallow,

Are nesting again as they did long ago And shall do each springtime to follow.
