WELCOME, HIGHS
We're glad to have you with us,
high school students. From all parts
of our own big Sunflower state you
come, each one of you an integral part
of a citizenship whose past and present
reputation has given Kansas an
enviable name among her sister states.
ST. PATRICK'S DAY
We hope that your short stay with us this week end will do more than mere words to prove this. A good old handshake to you, and may you all have a good time.
The University of Kansas is a part of that citizenship also, K. U., in your University. It exist first of all for your benefit. It is the biggest single watchword of success in life which Kansas has to offer its young people.
Coat lapels, like pajamas and grocery store candy, are often varicolored.
This assertion is proved today when the crimson and blue "K. S. U." badges bloom forth on the heart side of most young students in juxtaposition with the green shamrock of the Irish.
St. Patrick's day comes but once a year, and on March 17 the freshmen lose their monopoly on the verdant color and abdicate in favor of the Home Rule faction. So it is that today green badges are merrily being sported by the men and women whose ancestors rolled their "r"s" and thought Dublin was capitol of the world.
The Irish are entitled to one day out of the 365, at least. The Pats and Milkes who dwell in the United States are perhaps more thoroughly of the United States than the Tommies, Guizepes, and Heines. At least the patrona of Patrick are adaptable to circumstances, and they easily "feel at home."
Both Ulsterie and Sinn Fein are in their element today, and each wearer of the green also wears a stadium button.
"WE WHO ARE YOUNG!"
In a recent article in The New Republic, William Allen White comments in a naive manner on the changes that are taking place in literature.
A new school of writers, says White, has developed. The old school, exemplified by such writers as Mr. Howells, Richard Harding Davis, and Hamlin Garland, is passing.
The old school, we are told, believed in the emotions. It was composed of the writers who 'saw beauty in the landscape, heroism in the people, and the promise of a greater American life in the significances that arrested their attention."
Then, we learn that the new school of writers is emotional. Their writings are impersonal and scientific Scott Fitzgerald, Van Wyck Brooks, Waldo Frank, and others of the new
school are cited as examples of the order that has taken the tears and sobs from modern literature, until the present day writings are as dry reading as the Volvo actent.
In portraying the ideas of the new school the writer says: "But above all, we must not be sorry for the poor. We must not be sorry for any one. Pride under the new dispensation is bad enough; pride in the town, pride in the state, pride in the country, pride in the slow groping of mankind through the dark toward justice, toward that bungling institutionalized kindness called democracy—bah, that the delusion of the cheerful idiot! But bad as pride is, weak and wicked as it may be, it is infinitely preferable to city."
In such lights, does William Allen White are the new school of writers. Near the end of his article, he becomes the passing of the school, but, accordingly, he feels that the change is inevitable. So bowing to the new order, he coeludes with "We who are about to die salute you!"
Many of us are also witnessing the change that has taken place in modern literature. We are seeing the emotions of life fade from the printed page. Sentiment and pride are disappearing from literature and in its place we are receiving a midsize fund that cannot be classified.
So we are still turning to the imaginary writers, to Garland with his beautifully descriptive pen, to Richard Harding Davis with his fiery zeal and romance, and to William Allen White with his understanding sympathy. To live, a school of writers must touch the hearts of its readers. So we bow to the old school and say, "We who are young and have long to live salute you!"
COMMUNICATIONS
Suring fever is no respector o persons. The Kansan staff in the spring of the year cherishes the same feelings when looking out toward the Wakarana as do the others who tread the by-ways of the Hill. And there is an especial need at this season of the year opening up a barge of student opinion on every subject.
Why don't students tell what they think about the book exchange, the debates, the classes they are attending, the eats, the rhetoric assignments, and anything else which may concern
them? It doesn't take much physical exertion to carry an opinion as far as the top of the editorial desk in the Kansan office.
WHY NOT BASEBALL?
Baseball is the American national pastime and is followed by more people than any other sport in the world. All of which is evidently not recognized by the student body of the University.
Time was when baseball was one of the best supported sports in the University. But those days are past, if the support accorded the teams of recent years may be taken as an indicator of student sentiment. Kansas had one of the best baseball teams in history last year but very few of the students realize it because they never saw the team in action. Two hundred people was a large attendance at last spring's games, and the enrollment of the University was more than three thousand.
Just why this menger support is accorded to the baseball team is problematical. Whether it is because football players are given all the praise and glory that can be afforded by the fans, or whether the influence of the national outdoor sport is on the wane, no one can tell. The fact still remains that baseball is not well supported.
The question: Will the students support it?
The University of Missouri basketball team, holders of the Missouri Valley championship, probably will challenge one of the teams tied for the Western Conference as they post season season, according to an associated Press report.
The baseball season is about to open and coaches and fans predict that Kansas will have another good team.

MAMMOTHS AND MYSTERY
The mention of seven foot tusks with the huge skeleton said to have been uncovered by a blast in a Nevada mine seems to indicate that the mains of one of the ancient mammals in that area were numerous in quantity. But seven foot tusks do not bear out the report that this Nevada skeleton was of a mammal and the mastodon, which were little larger than present day phants, carried a few feathers more than must have evidently must be allowed for unscientific measurements of the Moapa relic.
Arrangements are being completed for a football game to be played between the University of Oregon and the University of North Carolina on next Christmas day at Honolulu.
The bones of the mammoth and mastodon, relatives of the present Asiatic elephant, are found in Europe, Asia and 'America. A large burrow between Siberia and Alaska, perhaps, gave them an entrance to this

Fifty-six sophomores of the University of Maine were recently suspended for having freshmen by making them run a gauntlet of paddles. No one was injured, but the action was taken by the faculty in view of the recent ruling that hazing be prohibited.
It is certain that the mammoth was contemporary in Europe with early man, for the cave dwellings of France and Spain have yielded portraits of the big fellow carved on bone and it is believed not improbable that in America also he had longside with the first human Americans. It was known that living specimens might be found in the remote forests of Siberia or Alaska, but modern exploration has reduced that hope to a minimum. Scientists have learnt the puzzle of the common disappearance of the mammoth from among humans. It was a creature well covered to live in the northern forests, and the food found in the stomachs of the frozen carcasses uncovered in Siberia show that the vegetation is the same there now as it was when these great beasts lived in regions where, even in these past times, the mammoth can discover, there were no enemies that could cope with the mammoth, this race of giants vanished utterly—San Francisco Chronicle.
