THE CAR SERVICE
The announcement that the Kansas Utilities Company would begin street car service next week to the Union Pacific Station is gladly accepted by the students of the University. The further service has been hoped for by many of the students in the past.
The service to the Union Pacific Station will be a decided boost for Lawrence in the minds of new students arriving there. Many students have been greatly discouraged on their first visit to Lawrence upon finding no transportation facilities from the north side, except taxes. Moreover, the new service will be a great convenience for students who are leaving town, and will relieve many of them of the long walk across the river.
With the extended facilities, Law-
wince will be more deserving as a
University town, and better car service
will be another asset which will
help to bring more students to K. U.
Such an improvement will be another
step toward a stronger and better
spirit between the University and
the townpeople.
THE BONUS AND KANSAS
The Kansas Legislature will have another chance to show its attitude toward the ex-soldier of the Great War when the Bonus Bill comes up for action. The bill recently introduced provides for a bonus of one dollar a day for each day spent in service
Kansas would do well to grant a compensation to her former soldiers. Already she is late in granting such a bonus, for a number of other states have made liberal grants. At the present time, there are bills providing for a bonus for ex-soldiers before the legislatures of Iowa, Kentucky, Nebraska, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Oregon, and California. These pending bills provide for a bonus ranging from $10 to $30 per month for each month in service. All these bills have been reported favorably and most of them will probably be passed.
The bonus for the Kansas men would be an appropriate way for the state to show its appreciation to those who offered their services to the nation. Kansas cannot afford to be among the last states to show such appreciation, as well as being of assistance to many cx-service men who have been greatly handicapped by their war sacrifices. Such a bonus would also be a great aid to numbers of men who are now in school, and in what better way could the state hope to be an aid to its citizens than in gaining an education?
THE BACK ROW HABIT
room, preferably in the rear row and one of the corners. The confirmed student of this type has the back row habit.
Place him on the front row and h is lost; he cannot accustom him self to such proximity with the irStructor and is seemingly struck dun on this account; he is ill at ease an fidgety and gains nothing from the period. But let him select his favorite chair in the rear and he is perfect at home, can make an excellent reeception, and is often one of the best students in the course.
The back row habit is not essentially detrimental to the student, but it does nevertheless create a rather unfavorable impression on his associates who are acquainted with him in the classroom, for no other reason than that this habit is usually acquired by the slackers in the course, who attempt to tobbogan through their courses with a minimum of time and effort expended in preparation.
On the other hand, many who really
et by without work, enclose the front
eats and studious mein, so the students
of the University who are vicims
of the back rest habit can point
o them as an example of the freepersents of the front rows of classrooms.
AT IT AGAIN
The state department has just dis covered and halted a wide-spread, deeply-rooted clever plot of German origin being carried on in the United States to create ill feeling toward France for mythical atrocities chalked against her.
Senator Spencer of Missouri has been receiving hundreds of letters protesting against the atrocities of French negro troops in Rheinland, and asking that the United States should act toward compelling France to remove them from the occupied area.
Secretary Colby of the state department after investigating the matter with army officers issued a statement that the troops referred to had been removed months before and that the complaints originated, not in the occupied territory, but in Berlin. The branding of this proaganda as false
is expected to stop the agitation that German representatives and German-Americans have been endeavoring to stir up between France and the United States.
Very often a student, upon entering at such a fraternity, a classroom, sidges past the first. Such a force, if operated in three or four rows of seats and picks student district and on the Hill out a chair in the back part of the elusively, might be of valuable
It is intimated that the true purpose of this propaganda is to sow discord between France and the United States and thus weaken the position of the French that Germany should pay the full indemnities demanded by the Inter-allied conference recently. The Germans seem to believe that if France were alone in demanding reparation that they would not be obliged to pay it. It is just to be as lenient as possible with a crushed foe, but such insidious propaganda is very apt to harden rather than soften liberal-minded statesmen into demanding more than they would otherwise from a nation which has shown a similar attitude on other occasions in her dealings with other nations. This trait characterized the German nation before, during and now, after the Great War.
STUDENT POLICE
The idea of policing University towns with a force of students, to investigate vice and crime in the student district seems to be gaining favor with the administration and executives of such towns. For several
years Purdue University has an army, and, as a consequence, the city reduced its police force almost to a minimum. The student force, however, is part of the city system.
The University of Illinois has had a student police force in operation for two months and the mayor of Champaign is so well pleased with the results of the experiment that he will attempt to make the "force" a permanent fixture of the University. The students thus employed were able to procure evidence against gambling, violations of the Eighteenth Amendment, and other laws. The student arms of the law were instrumental also in raiding a "crap" game.
vice to the University of Kansas. It could well be empowered to prevent students from making habitual detours across the campus on foot or as well in automobiles. It could also do away with smoking in and about University buildings. The new dance legislation would succeed quicker and more effectively, if officials, having more power and authority than invited chaperons, were present to see that the recommendations were carried out to the letter. Incidentally, the force might break up a few games of chance for pleasure and profit, that have been found to exist at different places in the student district.
As the city of Lawrence has no officer on a University beat, the appointment of a small force of students to act in this capacity is strongly advisable, and could be made as effective as other institutions have made such an organization.
Intramural boxing contests have been arranged in definite schedules at the University of Texas, and elimination championship are now being held.
On Other Hills
The Sigma Nu fraternity at the University of Missouri has subscribed enough funds to care for one Arianeman child of a year. The Accacia's have also contributed fifty dollars for the same purpose.
Iowa State College has begun baseball practice, Coach Maurice Kent having a large squad of men working out daily.
Kansas State Normal, at Emporia, will celebrate the fifty-seventh anniversary of its founding on Monday, February 14. President Butcher, a former president of Wichita Blood, Wichita attorney, will be the principal speakers on the program.
Sherwood Eddy, famous lecturer and Christian worker coming here the last of this week, will be at M. U. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
The annual Contest Beauty and Popularity contest, conducted for the yearbook at Oklahoma University, held on March 14, when the contest registers.
The School of Commerce at the University of Denver now has an enrollment of over six hundred. Evening classes are held. The largest class is one called "Personal Efficiency", and has an enrollment of 180.
M. M. "Tubby" McHillte has accepted the position as head coach at Phillips University. He was formerly the head of the at University of West Virginia.
Enrollment for the second semester at De Pauw University is 1188. A big evangelical campaign is in progress at De Pauw now.
Georgeta School of Technology, at Atlanta, has an enrollment of about 1600. Twenty-seven states and three regions are represented in this number.

WHEN ALL "WORE" UMBRELLA
A Georgetown citizen has furnished
the following notes on customs in
1816 recorded by a foreigner who
spent nearly a year in the national
state, making his home in Geor-
town:
Both sexes, whether on horseback or on foot, wear an umbrella in all seasons. In summer to keep off sunburn and frost, you wear a rain and snow; in spring and autumn
to intercept the dews of the evening.
Persons of all rank canter their horses, which movement fatigue the anatomy and has an ungraceful appearance.
At dinner and tea parties the ladies all sit together and seldom mix with the gentlemen, whose conversation really turns upon political subjects.
In almost all houses today is offered to guests a few minutes before dinner.
Gentlemen wear their hats in a carriage with a lady.
Any particular attention to a lady is readily construed into an intention of marriage.
Boarders in boarding houses or in taverns sometimes throw off the coat during the heat of summer and in winter the shoes for the purpose of warming feet at the fireplace -customs which climate can only excuse.
The barber arrives on horseback to perform the operation of shaving and, as in Europe, he is the organ all news and scandal—Washington
In summer invitation to tea parties is made verbally by servants the day the party is given. In winter the invitation is more ceremonious.
SIX TESTS FOR EDUCATION
six tests of knowing whether you are educated were put forward by Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, when he addressed the students from all the schools of the Morningside Institution at the first college assembly of the present term. By these six tests, you can determine whether he is being educated or whether he is accomplishing in the university what he set out to do or whether the university is doing what is expected of it.
"Ask yourselves, am I gaining in "correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue? Am I gaining in those refined and gentle manners which are the expression of fixed habits and thought and conduct. Am I gaining in the power to recognize and appreciate in sound standards of feeling and appreciation? Am I gaining in the power of growth? Am I gainin' in the power to do merely efficiently."-Williamette "Collegian."
