THE NEW DRIVE
The little red, white and blue bottom is the signal. With such a warning, every loyal Jayhawk who contributed to the memorial drive last fall, must do the "K. S. U." button. Those who did not contribute, and the new students on the Hill are being given a chance to fall in line, and become members of the loyal order of Jayhawks.
An opportunity is being given the new students to prove that they realize the bigness of K. U.'s project in the drive for the stadium and union and to show their true colors by doing their utmost to help push it. They are here for the best that the University can give them, and should give the best that they can to the University.
Last all the students set the minimum at $40, and most of them met the minimum and a great many raised it. Let the newcomer on the Hill show that he is not the least loyal and let him make himself a part of the New Fren and the bigger spirit in the University.
THE MAN AT THE HELM
The University of Kansas has a chancellor who is willing to face defeat, but who is unwilling to take defeat if success is possible. During the recent session of the Legislature, Chancellor Lindley proved himself to be one of the most able leaders in the state in the campaign to secure a larger financial backing for the University and for the other educational institutions of the state as well.
What is more, the Chancellor succeeded. He succeeded in convincing the lawmakers of Kansas that educational institutions require financial backing, and that Kansas should have a bigger and better University. When he accomplished this, he accomplished an almost impossible task, to the winds of many Kansans. Though he did not get all that he had hoped for, the appropriation for the University for the next two years is fifty per cent larger than any biennial appropriation ever granted the school
Chancellor Lindley accomplished a still more difficult task, in the campaign. He made himself a friend to the people of Kanasa. The methods which Chancellor Lindley employed to gain his head, the tactfulness of his activity, and the spirit that was evident in all his talks before and with the legislators, stamped the Chancellor as a true Kanasa.
The University can well be proud of its chancellor, Kansas can be proud of the man who has become a true Kanan during the short time he has been in the state. With such a leader, the University cannot help but become one of the greatest of institutions of its kind.
PROSPECTIVE WORK
If the great number of jobs open is any indication, there should be plenty of work for students next year. At present, the supply of work greatly exceeds the demand. Merchants are calling for student help and residence owners are putting in calls for student workers much faster than they can be supplied.
Every year the University Y. M. C. A., supplies work for a large number of students. This makes it possible for many students to attend school who might not be able to finance the proposition otherwise.
The financial problem need not worry any student or prospective student now, if he is not afraid of work. A survey has shown that a great number of students at the University are entirely sett-supporting and a great many of them are doing some work while going to school. The main requisites for one who attends the University are a strong desire to re and a willingness to work.
The student worker has become much in evidence on the campus. He has made possible the spirit of democracy everywhere in K. U. life. It is a mistaken idea that the student working down on, Instead, he is respected and is given every possible opportunity to make good.
No matter what work a student does, he is a part of the 'big Jayhawkier family and the existing democratic spirit puts everyone on the common ground of fellowship.
For the fourteenth time, the University is acting as host to the Kansas high schools, with their best teams of boys and girls and coaches. Athletes are here from all parts of the state and will vie in games of strength, courage and endurance in a sport that has been considerably on the increase in interest during recent years.
The University has few such opportunities to get acquainted with those who will later join the ranks of the institution. The University welcomes all high school visitors at any time, but particularly now, since the victories of these teams will in some degree measure the later victories of the University itself.
VENTILATION
Nothing is more enervating on a bright morning than the effects of entering a classroom in which every window has been closed since early in the afternoon of the preceding day; yet this thing happens in a large majority of the classrooms and laboratories every day of the school year.
The fault for this condition may lie at the bottom with the faculty as a body for its lack of attention and interest in this matter, and the consequent lack of regulations which it could impose. On the face of the matter, however, the proper place to begin action is with the janitors of the University. They get the blame for many unfavorable conditions, but they are paid for cleaning the rooms and keeping them in a sanitary condition. The meagerness of their efforts is often apparent in dust covered chairs and dirty streaked windows.
At the present time the janitors do not seem to have to over-exert themselves, and the addition of the slight duty of seeing that every room is well ventilated and filled with fresh air in the mornings before the first class would impose no hardship upon them, as some one of them is on duty practically sixteen hours out of the twenty-four in each building.
Scientific investigations, medical reports and practices, and hygienic education teach us that fresh air and sunshine are the greatest universal panacea that the world affords. Let us enjoy as much of both as much as possible, especially in the class rooms where many are obliged to congregate at one time.
