MR. NEW STUDENT!
An initiation into the true K. U. spirit will come Thursday and Friday of this week to 225 newlyenrolled University students who will be solicited by workers for subscriptions to the Kansas Stadium-Union fund.
"You can get from an institution only as much as you put into it," is an adage that fits the case of new students. That these new students, and many thousand other students who will follow them, might have the best of facilities for demonstration of athletic prowess, and for the development of a real institutional spirit, more than three thousand students contributed to the fund last fall. They raised nearly $200,000. The faculty came through with wonderful spirit for this most nitrousitic of projects, and the people of Lawrence in a loyal campaign, gave $145,000. The drive is now being carried among the alumni, and from them, in the next few months, is expected the remainder of the million dollars set as the goal for the construction of a huge stadium, and a commissive union building.
To the new student, then, this chance to "get on the wagon" is offered in a spirit of cooperation, and a mutual understanding that everyone is pulling with all his might, for this, his school.
NERVOSITY
K. U, students are nervous. For proof conclusive of the fact one has but to crecously observe a single, lone phenomenon of class-room life.
Drop into any recitation room, at any hour of the day, and watch them as they sit silhouetted in all manner of positions in their chairs, unconscious of any observing stares as they may keen attention to the instructor.
Now, shift your gaze to the floor.
See the feet, some swinging rhythmically, others alikelessly tapping the floor. Note the uneasy shifting of knees, the lazy stretching of ankles, the restless, never-ending shuffling and change.
You will be tempted to laugh out loud, it looks so ridiculously funny when viewed in this cool, impersonal way.
But there is an explanation for it no doubt. Perhaps Doctor Naimith would contend that students do not take enough physical exercise; that this is nature's way of working off surplus energy in those who spend most of their time studying and the rest of the time sleeping and eating heavy meals. It is a plausible explanation.
All of which implies that nerviousness of that type is not a sign of weakness: If it is, heaven help the class of men and women developed in our modern colleges and universities. But common sense tells us that it is all very well.
But at the same time, it is amusing
if you deliberately set about to observe the signs of nervousness. Why, the might sign catch yourself doing the same thing while watching others. What a joke.
SUMMER FOOTBALL CAMPS
If the plans of Colorado University authorities are carried out next summer football in the Rocky Mountain Conference will receive a decided boost. It is planned to hold a summer football camp and train the athletes for the coming season, if the permission of the conference authorities can be obtained. Colorado gives her a reason, that the other schools in the conference open before they do and consequently get an earlier start on the gridiron.
If a football team could practice the entire year, probably the quality of playing in all the conferences would be higher. But it must be remembered that there are other games which hold as high a pace in the world of sport as does football. While the season is short and the training of the teams is hampered by this fact, coaches generally foresee this condition and schedule their heavy games in the latter part of the season, thus avoiding the chances of ruining a team by playing a heavy game when they are not in condition.
Perhaps in the course of time when colleges have more money for athletics and more athletes, then football can be pursued the year around.
RUSSIA'S SITUATION
Attempting to prophesy as to the ultimate outcome of Russia's fervorish attempts to re-habilitate herself governmentally, industrially, and otherwise, is getting to be somewhat of a陪 among the intelligent and the important people of this country.
The opinions of the intelligent, at though not final or authentic, always add something tangible to one's understanding of the situation. The inane frothings of the ignorant however, (and they are by no means in the minority, as is evidenced by the increasing number of all-knowing politicians who have charged so cooerkely into the arena), would set the average man wild with their bewildering array of ignorant contradictions, were it not for Mr. Common Old Horse Sense coming to the rescue with the reminder that ninety nine and nineteen of the stuff is pure bunk.
To explain adequately the Russian situation in a few short paragraphs is impossible. In general, however, there are three factions striving, the first, boldly, cruelly, the second, slyly,unningly the third, openhandedly, but somewhat indeterminedly to place in power three very different types of government.
The first type, the Bolshiev soviet-communicist form, now is in control. The second faction, composed of a small class of the very rich, and the old nobility, are plotting feverishly to put back, in somewhat modified form, the old Romanoff dynasty. The third faction, headed by Kerensky, and made up of a large middle class of merchants, professional men, and the like, are attempting today to overthrow the soviet government and establish a republic of more conservative type.
The situation in Russia has been aptly compared to that of France in the revolutionary period. There were three factions then, with the third one, representative of conservative, middle-class reform-reformers finally winning out, even though temporarily delayed by Napoleon and his "superman" ambitions. Will Russia's third faction do the same?
The present Soviet government puts representation in its All-Russian Congress on an occupation, and not geographical and numerical, basis. It is a big experiment in the most extreme type of modern socio-economic communism.
Whether the present regime will hold the fort, and as the years go on iron out its obvious Utopian defect
and remake Russia, is one possibility. It will mean years of storm and strife, and a constant educating of the great masses of people to their governmental responsibility.
Whether the Kerensky conservative, middle-course regime will win out at once and take control is another possibility. Compromising may make it possible.
The last possibility, and the least probable, is that the Russian millions, in a fevriour backwash of crazed ignorance and despair, will reinstate the old dynasty, and go back to the government that they have known for centuries. But such a reaction is unlikely.
WANDERLUST
Often among the pages of the novel or short story the hero or her audience, suddenly sizzed with the wanderlust, seeks the black and ivory interior of Africa or the kaleidoscopic panorama of the gorgeous Orient without regard for such trifling details as expense or occupation, Or, sometimes, the reader is asked to shed a few tears over the pathic case of the soul yearning for the outer world but forced to expand within the narrow confines of a small town, its wanderlust crushed, its growth dwarfed. So it is with all humanity, even students sometimes feel the pull of the wanderlust overcoming the steady grind of the wondrous. In the midst of their diligent acquisition of K.a.wonderlise arises a strong and unconquerable longing for travel, for new scenes, for new faces. For a few days
or a few weeks—in proportion to their will power—they strive to over come the feeling. Then one day–prefer-
ally a spring one—they give you
less, take stock of their needs to
ease their life. They offer with
a new environment and take the
interurban for Kansas City.
And with the superior emotion of youth, a day in Kansas City spent in window gazing and shopping, in the theaters, and爽安 joints, is enough of adventure to satisfy the wanderlust and to send the students back to the routine of the wonderlust with received enthusiasm.

Occasionally a glimmer of common sense creeps into the dojoes at the larger educational institutions of the country
This time the University of Kansas is showing a gratifying flash of light. The sorevites have drawn up a formal appeal for the university to all the wild hilarity and gravely of the annual "rush" week. To go into effect the rules now only have to be ratified by the Pan-Hellenic council in order to affirm the collective of all the social organizations.
A SENSIBLE MOVE
Hereford the girls who are socially eligible have experienced an exceedingly harassing time of it during their first week at the University each fall. There has been one ceaseless round of teas, dinner, dances and dates. The green little freshman from the short grass country has been carried around on a platter, and fedeten and feteten until her whole family was being sadly distressed. The beginning of the process of making some first-class snobbs has started many times with the overdone functions of "rush" week.
