BASEBALL ON DECK!
The Kansas baseball team has in vaded the camp of the Oklahoma Aggies to play the opening game of the season today. Following the series with the Aggies comes a two game series with the University of Oklahoma, which are conference games and which must be won in order to give Kansas a good start in the Valley season.
Basketball for the past few years has not been adequately supported by the students. Only a handful of rosters appear at the home contests to cheer their team on to victory. When Kansas had a winning baseball team last year, several contests were lost on account of poor support on the part of the roots. This is a displaceable situation and must be remedied if Kansas is to have a successful team.
According to the latest reports,
Coach Lindsey's team has been somewhat broken up by sickness and other causes. This fact should impress the minds of the supporters and cause a large attendance at the first home game that takes place.
Let's get behind the baseball team and take the Valley flag!
A CALL FROM CHINA
"Three cents saves a life for a day." To the average University student this would seem an almost ambiguous statement. Yet in China today such is the case. Three coins, an amount, so small that it is hardly ever reckoned with by students in their feverish extravagance in the pursuit of pleasure, will save the life of a Chinese for a day.
On that basis, a nation-wide drive is being made by the American Committee for the China Famine Fund to raise contributions throughout, the country for the relief of the 15,000,000 people in North China who are facing starvation. By the sale of Life Saving Stamps at three cents each the salvation of these people is sought.
University students of all people should best appreciate the necessity of answering such a call. They are in closer touch with the conditions of the world in general through their studies than are the people of the pre-occupied business world. For this reason, it is the duty of every student to rally to the aid of those suffering people. The sacrifice entailed will not be noticed for the financial obligation is small indeed.
In sending a letter, remember that by sticking on a three cent Chinese Relief Stamp you have saved a life in China for a day.
Buy that stamp today!
CONTINUE THE PRACTICAL
Another informal Junior Prom demonstrates the growing tendency to get away from the extremely formal functions of a strictly informal University atmosphere. It demonstrates the added feeling against the useless expense wherein the entire student body is concerned.
The fact that the last formal Prom was held in 1916, the year before the war, seems to point to the popular feeling that the war has founded a more practical and more worldly generation, by whom the lesser formalities are not considered necessary.
the day of rented dress suits and expensive rides in taxicabs by those who cannot afford them has to some extent gone the route of the Hohenzollern dynasty. No more is the Junior Prom an occasion where peacocks strut forth in rented plumes.
Prof. Paul West of the University of Wisconsin, doesn't believe college students know much. He reveals the results of a test he recently conducted as recent number of the Atlantic Monthly of which the following are excerpts:
If you want your daughter to go to Vassar College, she should be enrolled white still in the baby carriage, because it is already closed for September 1925.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW
"Simple biological facts that are supposed to be in common knowledge and parlance are outside the mental realm of many of the college students or are confused within it. Four per cent of them would be willing to ask a dairyman if his cows are Leghorne. And when we don't know what an artichoke is, while six more assert it to be a fish, three a lizard, and one, no doubt thinking of the strangling powers (choke) of a bon-constructor, claims it as denoting a snake, we can not but wonder in what world these sixteen per cent received their information—that shock when we discover that a chamaeleon is voted a member of the bird, insect and fish families by twenty-three per cent, four per cent, and four per cent of the group, respectively; while another thirteen per cent give up the problem of classification as a thing impossible; so that one can safely say that one cannot really know that a chamaeleon is a reptile that changes its color but not its genus. Thirty per cent do not know the location of the thyroid gland, and either refuse to detail their ignorance concretely, or place it indifferently in the shoulder, head, or abdomen, than handy receptive for food, and even the soul even had the audacity to state that rubber is made of hides.
Edward Dean M. Hulme, head of the department of history at the University of Idaho, and dean of the college of letters and science, has accepted a call to the chair of history at Leland Stanford University. Dean Hulme who is a graduate of Stanford University has been teaching at the University of Ndaho for nineteen years.
"Geography does not make any better showing; in fact even a lower grade of recognition is here exhibited. It need not affect the world's happiness greatly if a certain third of our student body would take a liner for China if their destination was Tokyo, for the name of this oriental city does sound Chinese, and in addition, besides, this method of instruction would be effective and according to sound pedagogical principles. But it would be a decided affront to some of our time honored educational institutions if the
Spring Poetry
APRIL
Friend April has arrived at last
An those of us who stemmed the blast
20 hoary winter's chilling breath
 are tickled almost half to death
The poets twitter of the spring;
Glad frogs who do not think they are
Hand brother fools a bomb cigar
Fat pocket-books are lying loose
And hats concealing rock or brick
Await the gent who has a kick.
The boys and girls in school house
fell.
And mock us with their Ampel Fools
The maiden with her smile and dance
Creates a fool with every glance,
the lovers walk up to her
She will furnish weddeng
Care nothing now for ancient tales.
The sunlight beckons and the stream
Invites them out to laugh and
And by their tricks bid up for fame
The dandellions whom we swore
We had dispatched the year before
Praise on their shining yellow stools
and hats concealing rock or brick
Await the gent who has a kick.
The politicians join the game
dream.
The fish are fasting in the brook
Awaiting Johnny and his hook,
and meadow flowers bright and gay
"We ought not to blame too harshly that ten per cent who give Poe the credit for writing The Scarlet Letter," or the four who attribute it to Kipiplin; for, after all, the title is suggestive of the temper of either rather than of a mild man like Hawthorne. Fifty-eight out of an hundred students were drafted from their peers enough to know Arthur Brisbane as a journalist, some forty-three preferring to classify him as a comic artist, actor or athlete.
should learn that out of one hundred students, who wish to attend Yale University, four would have to look in the atlas to know what part of the world they were bound for, while six would purchase a railway fare or a carriage ticket. Successfully on their way to Cambridge. But once arrived in New England, two of them would be forced to the discovery that Boston is not a city of Maine, and one would find, not without surprise, that Massachusetts, in the same manner perhaps encounter or harboring 'the Hub.' Such are the educational possibilities of travel. Our Tokyo-bound friends would in the same manner perhaps encounter a bona-fide Korean in the course of their oriental travels and henceforth become familiar with the genus homo rather than a quadruple of some mysterious creation."
*When college students do not reorganize the names or places of production of commonly advertised commodities, such as shoes, automobiles, to bacces, typewriters, movie attresses and the like, it is of concern chiefly to the advertising manager who will be writing for them in information; across; but as a matter of protection to the rite of the few great ones of our generation, why not periodically lead all the college students through art-galleries, chambers of state, and bards of fame, so that none of them would be unfamiliar, say, with the name and work of Rodin or other artist himself, whom he as a matress, porter, or locker?
Horseback riding as a sport is reviving its popularity among the students at the University of Missouri said to be such a habit that the youn and local colleges. Car riding has been ger generation is now turning back to horse back riding as something new.
Are calling, "Mary," they are asking, "we hope, but if he fools us, with a rose He should be tied and thouh he bave His hoary heard should suffle shave.

"Why not diamonds born in the bosom of the oyster? Why not, indeed." It would be a far more potezic genesis than in the depths of a dirty dugout at Kimberley, at least, in the thought of one."
