THURSDAY, FEB. 3, 192 GET THE HABIT Habit is not a difficult thing to form. The man who takes to smoking soon finds himself lost without his cigar or cigarette. Those of us who go to church regularly do not feel right when we find it necessary to forge a service. We begin by dressing ourselves in a certain way, and it soon become a habit. Eating our meals at certain hours of the day is merely habit. And work is a habit. Someone once asked Charles Schwab, the steel magpie, how he didn't quit working. Mr. Schwab replied: "Quit working? Why, I couldn't. It is the very life of me. I would be lost without something to do." In other words, work has become a basic with Mr. Sehwab. He finds it indispensable to his happiness and peace of mind. Chancellor Lindley must have had the idea of habit in mind, when, at the beginning of the present school year, he said in effect, that he would guarantee to each student success in his studies for the entire year if he would do his work well for the first thirty days. Doctor Lindley's advice was good and still is. Testimonials have been made to the effect that his plan will work out. It is well worth a trial, at any rate; and there is no better time to begin than now—the first few days of the second semester. Yes, the ground dog saw his shadow yesterday. Some poor flunkers haven't found enough courage to come out of their holes yet. CURIOSITY Don't you remember, when you "was a boy," how "us kids" used to gape and stare every time the organgrinder and his aerobic monkey went through the streets of "our town?" Jim, n' Pete, n' Harry, n' Jack, n' all of us—girls—to follow him around from one street to the other with outstretched necks and wonder eyes. Gee, it was lots of fun. Why, we use to save our pennies for months ahead in expectation of the organ man's coming, so that when he arrived he would grind out every tune the old ramshackle organ had. Remember how we'd coax Dad for pennies; how we'd carp in wood without a murmer, and even help Ma hang the clothes on wash day, in return for the five shining pennies which we got as a reward? Oh, yes those were happy days. And now—we are older. Grown-up young folks, trying to get a college education. Just stop and think a moment—about the hearts of knowledge, as well as rare good times, we'd have lost if we hadn't been curious when we "was boys." Why, goodness sakes, we learned as much that way as we did from all the readin', writin', and 'rithmetic which we took in the grade school. Some folks call it instinct to be curious. Maybe it is. But if so, surely it is a God-given one, for, when you stop to consider, if you'd had no sense of curiosity when you were young, if you'd plugged along mechanically in your school work; if you hadn't even been curious enough to try to learn just how and why you were on this earth—wheli, you wouldn't amount to much as a University student today. Dark horses in White houses are again in vogue, one Mr. Harding being chief judge as to the exact color shade. INSTITUTIONALIZING DRIVE From the University viewpoint, the Million Dollar Drive is not yet over. This announcement in yesterday's news columns probably came as a disagreeable shock to many individuals on Mount Orand. Financial campaigns are inevitably more or less unpleasant, entailing that they do extensive effort on the part of co committee workers and at least some sacrifice by donors. No doubt a considerable portion of the student body settled back with a sigh of relief, when the $200,000 mark was announced in November, and unconsciously thought, "Thank-goodness, that is over!" And now, just at the close of the highly successful campaign in Lawrence, the central committee comes forward with the announcement that the drive is to be kept going in order that new students this semester and in following semesters may be given a chance to contribute. But rather than being lamentable, this last move on the part of those in charge of the drive is to be highly commended. It is a master stroke, $p$ . final display of wisdom in the wisely conducted campanule. This institutionalizing of the drive, will lead to least three definite benefit effects. First, it will help to establish the impression already given that students at the University are in earnest in the Stadium-Union project and are consecrated to the completion of the tasks. The largest part of the drive, that among the alumni of the University, is yet to be accomplished. The continued effort on the part of the students will be an excellent "talking point" for the alumni workers. Second, it is only fair and just that Second, it is only fair and just that, ew students should be given a chance o contribute, both from the stand- pupil school. In years to come, having been instrumental in the construction of the memorial will be a thing of the anyone may be justly proud. The students who enroll in the University during the next few years will benefit much more from the Union building and the athletic stadium than the present student body, and hence should be glad to do their share. In the third place, keeping the memorial campaign among the live University issues which greatly facilitate the collection of student notes which must begin in the spring. In the nature of things, there should be no difficulties attending this task, but it has been found there is always some in a large group who, during the enthusiasm which attends a campaign, make pledges they have difficulty in keeping. The more pessimistically inclined have also sounded a note of warring. The semi-annual recurrence of the drive will help to keep before the minds of all pledgers the paramount importance of the issue. Without doubt, the drive should be continued, and Professor Baumgartner and his assistants have acted wisely when they turned the work extensively to the student bodies. It is primarily a student interest, and it should be possible for these organizations to handle the matter effectively through special committees. VERSE BY HARRY KEMP of Brentano's.

The majority of periodicals can be classified into distinct groups at the first glance, but unless one is a reader of Vanity Fair, he is very likely to have an incorrect idea of its nature. The average man can go good characterization of the magazines he sees on the news stand, but at least one publication gives a false impression to practically every beholder. The name of the publication would indicate a style review, and as such it is religiously avoided by many men. Others have glanced through its pages and regard it as a magazine for snobs, judging only by departments such as "What the Well Dressed Man Should Wear." These are ridiculous in their faintidiousness, and are taken seriously by only a few readers of the magazine. They are utterly harmless. But in its range of versatility, Vanity Fair ranks high. Many engines this range to incorporate only literature and art, but many of the recent issues will testify to adequate representation in the field of current events and economic movements by such writers as Walter Lippman, H. G. Wolls, G. K. Chesterton and others of similar authority. Because very single readers an appreciate all the varied features of the magazine on subjects ranging from pugilism to persecution, a person ae- customized to browsing through every article in his favorite magazine on more or less noteworthy subjects may state that Vanity Fair is "high brow." Of course the French playlet or sketch may appeal $\Rightarrow$ only a small minority of the readers, but those who can read French appreciate the magazine the more because of it. The reader of Vanity Fair must be well informed to begin with, but he will find his interest in the work and hobbies of the other fellow increasing as he continues to peruse the magna- Shewroad Eddy, noted college worker and authority on international problems, has been at the University of Colorado working in the interest of the student relief campaign there. From Colorado he will be a member of the Student Senate of Texas, at Austin. Mr. Eddy will be at K. U. on Feb. 18, 19 and 20. "Make Germany pay it by June 1," exclaims an enthusiastic supporter of the fifty-six billion dollar indemnity for Germany. It's a good think that K. U. studs do not have to pay all of their "indemnities" by June 1. A relief fund for the famine stricken Chinese totalling over $3,000 was An anti-raid at the store-repo and kitchen of Hill Hall dormitory at the University of Arkansas, constituted the major sport of the event, having served as institution recently, according to the "University Weekly." The Board of Regents of the University of Texas have a resolution before the state legislature authorizing the Board to move the University site from its present location in Austin, Texas, to another part of the city. Ohio University's student body, alumni, and friends have raised over $1,000,000 for a giant Stadium. To provide for extra expenses $100,000 more is asked. "No campaign is a success without at least a ten per cent over-subscription," says the "Magnet" Ohio Stadium Paper. News letters boosting the cause are sent out to alumni and former students. On Other Hills Seven college seniors at the University of Iowa were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national scholastic fraternity, meeting a meeting of the local chapter there. raised at the University of Michigan last week. Prior to arranging baseball games for next spring, athletic authorities at Iowa State College and the University of Iowa are disputing over the eligibility of the "spit ball" in intercollegiate contests. Leslie Dodd, c'14, is in Lawrence working on the Stadium plans. ALUMNI NOTES K. U. is well represented on the faculty of the Abilene High School. Viole Engle, A.

MORALS AND UNIVERSITIES While university students are as a pure pure in morals it is true that they are mentally corrupt and that the university is the fruitful source for implanting the after effects of the war. It requires a higher and rarer sort of mental pahulum to satisfy the avid mind of the university student. In fact the term "college wit" today carries with it a sort of half implication of "mowness" of which the college humorous magazines of the day bear ample witness. The man who is called the "parlor joke" which is refined putridness. That may, of course be stating the asine in extreme terms, but it is true, nevertheless, that the intellectual productions of the universities in the last quarter century have not been as wholesome as those of the decade preceding. The college man of today is keener but his wit has given him a blunted sense of self. He is smart utilizes his wit, but does not know when his capital bears interest. The old denominational school may not have been as great a hold as the large state institutions of town, but the sense of balance and proportion of their graduates offered a more suburban vittimacy than the present schools. There are those who scoff at the idea that the university mind is essentially keyed to the higher pitch of expectation than the casual mind of the nation as a whole; yet a producer of the drama will tell you that it takes a high degree of patience to get access to a university audience than it does to a crowd of laymen. The university has thus far ignored this phase of student life; a chair in Bible probably would not rectify the condition, but more attention to religious phases of student life might move beneficial.—OKkahama Daily WANT ADS FOR RENT—Room for girls.
