THE LAWRENCE DRIVE
MONDAY, JANUARY 31, 1921
It is with the utmost pleasure that the student body of the University receives news that the Stadium-Union Drive in Lawrence is practically over the top. K. U. is glad that the city of Lawrence has caught the spirit of the "New Era" at the University.
The promotion of such a drive as the one just about completed in Lawrence, the sign of better times, tillier relations and greater cooperation between the University and its home city, is received with a thorough and heartfelt appreciation of the great effort made just at this time of business depreciation for the unbuilding of a great University.
The fact that men gave willingly, out of that fulness of spirit that presages a great future not only for the University but for Lawrence itself, is one of the salient things of the campaign. Meetings that thrilled everyone present, speeches that "laid in the shade" all known erations, and work that has sent dozens of men home each evening, "tired and happy business man," all formed a part of the great project.
These loyal friends of the University, these public spiritited citizens of Lawrence, should be extended the hand of fellowship and good will by every member of the University family. Together with the University itself, they have made possible the immediate breaking of ground for a stadium and insured the future success of the Union project by setting the pace for the Alumni.
Perhaps more good resolutions are made during quiz week than on New Year's Day. The students realize just what unpreparedness means then.
THAT SCHEDULE
Today is enrollment day. Students, old and new, are deciding what shall be their tasks for the coming four months. And enrollment is not an easy task. Standing in line for two or three hours is no pleasant duty, indeed. Every student is glad when the tedious job is finished, and the class work begins.
But there are other things to consider in enrollment, besides the job of going through the line, and the tired feel which results. For enrollment binds the student to four months of labor which should be suitable for the individual. Every student should consider whether he has taken too much work, or too little, what he has taken before, and what courses would be the most suitable for him this semester. Enrollment is not merely a puzzle in picking the courses that will be easiest, or that are "snap courses."
If students would consider more deliberately what courses to take before they enroll, there would be fewer "withdrawals" “conditions” "income"
plates," and "funks" on the Registrar's records Enrollment is an important duty in the experience of every student, not only for his own benefit, but in the consideration of his school.
Final exams are the nightmares of students; the faculty lose their tempers, their ideas and every thing else when their desks are stacked with quiz books—and yet they insist that final exams are valuable.
THE PATH TO HEARTS
The paths to the hearts of a starving nation lead through the mouths. Empty stomachs do not warm the hearts.
Suppose you were poor, unable to work, and you and your children were craving food when your wealthy neighbor made many attempts at friendship, but refused you a dinner or even a means of earning one. Would you return his advance of friendship? You'd probably turn upon him a cold heart, and call him a hyposcrit.
One third of the world is pleading for just enough to "eat to live" while many merely "live to eat." Hundreds of thousands in the Near East, in Europe, in a large section of China where crops have failed, in Russia, are turning with wistful eyes to America, the land of their hope. "America is rich, she has plenty, she wants to be friends with all the world and surely she will send us food." America emerged the benefactor of the world during the war and certainly such an opportunity cannot be overlooked now. If famine stricken people came to your door, you'd see that they were provided for and it should not be different with nations when thousands are putting their means of life in your keeping.
This is America's great opportunity to become the warm-hearted friend of the world. If "just for humanity's sake" doesn't appeal strongly enough—then we must reckon that financially, economically, politically we must do it if we are to preserve our place among the nations. Instincts, emotions, prejudices and opinions at work in a starving man are deeply rooted; and, if American denies these stricken people of her abundance, with what utter, cynical, bitter, cold-hearted feeling will turn to her when they are restored to their independence!
EDUCATIONAL ELEPHAN-TAISIS
Under the above title Burges John has an interesting article in last month's North American Review. He spends a of state university of which he dreamed, which saw that with a little effort it might become the largest seat of higher education in the land. Of all the boasts of bulk what could be finer than this? Accordingly unbalanced by the emotion of the crowd, scholars discovered that higher education in a democracy should be within immediate reach of all. Admission came before standards. It was imperative that all who wished to attend must be allowed to do so. The result was that high schools were empowered to certify their graduates for admission to the university without examination. Then came the news that the university had the greatest enrollment of any educational institution in the country. "Then all good citizens leaked in their chairs and beamed with satisfaction at their state's pre-eminence in the field of mental attainment."
The writer goes on to show what might happen to such an institution as that of which he had dreamed. "With budgets fixed for some time ahead a thousand students might find themelses under instructors able to handle but five-hundred." He says, in part, "students of weaker moral resistance might find themselves over tempted to plan prolonged absences from the class room unbeknown to the instructor. The same type of students might the more easily substitute for one another. Such crimes have been known. I recall now that in my dream there was an instance of a student receiving a high mark in a course that he had not attended at all, and two freshmen electing Sanskrit under the vague impression that it was a

Official action has been taken by the men appointing a committee to recommend complete segregation of the sexes. It is also to be recommended that a limit be placed on the number of women enrolled.
The author then asks it education for everybody is not better than an education for a few and shows that the two are "mutually exclusive." "A little more education for everybody must be worth while and a university which frankly takes that for its purpose would have the justification of its existence acknowledged by all the fraternity of scholars. As an antidote for educational elephantiasis, many forward looking executives are considering an unscrambling process and the establishment of many small colleges of liberal arts as maintained in the present English system." He shows the strong position of Amherst college which limits its enrollment to 600 students and which is acquired some time ago an increase of fifty per cent in the faculty salaries. This increase permits an equality of financial appeal with the wealthier universities. "In Amherst there is an instructor to every ten students and eighty-four per cent of the faculty members are of professional rank 'he advantages are obvious.'
A vacation is a fine thing for students to have every now and then. It gives them a chance to get caught up 'n their lost sleep.
Campus Opinions
Editor. Daily Kansan;
Outdoor physical exercise is one of the best vitality buildings that has been instituted in the public schools. After an hour's brisk exercise outdoors in the crisp air any one can think better and concentrate better.
Students spend all morning in the classroom and probably all evening in the house and the only outdoor exercise is in walking to and from classes.
The adage of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," is old and time-worn, but still very true. The University provides good exercise for the play. This is a chance to provide good exercise with little expense and effort.
The University is fortunate in having a good sized lake on the campus. In cold weather it freezes easily because it is still water and not very deep. But, it so often freeces unevenly or is covered with snow so it not always in good condition for skating. With little expense the University could keep the lake in the proper condition for skating and it would afford an excellent opportunity for students to get some good out door experience. It also fitted physically, but would be able to study much better afterwards.
The climax has been reached at Coulnell in regard to the co-educational question. The attitude of the men to ward the women has never been congenial. At a recent mass meeting at which football returns were being displayed, a small group of men students bissed when a picture of Sage College, the women's main dormitory was disbanded by president A. W. Smith issued a statement diploma that indented and waning against another display.

Negotiations are under way between the University of Illinois and Pennsylvania for an aquatic meet to be held in Champaign on February 12. The University will host the meeting in which Oloe took part was that against Yale and Princeton in 1913.
Paris, according to a news despatch quoted by "Hamilton Life."
With the favorable action this week the Minor Sports Committee in the University of Pennsylvania is assures of an important addition to her list of sports in the shape of pony polo. The sport is already weed under way, and with the official recognition a schedule is being arranged and every preparation made to insure the success of its first season here.
A demand has been made on the faculty of Cornell University by nine men representing the student council and two senior honorary societies, that women students at Cornell be segregated in their own colleges of instruction and that their enrollment be limited.
Onis M. Leonard, a freshman in Dupaw, is he inventor of a breach for torpedo tubes which has been commented upon favorably by naval authorization. The success of Mr. Leonard's invention will increase the penalties with many tons of mechanism necessary to the firing of torpedoes in the old way.

DICKENS' CHILDHOOD HOME, A LIBRARY
There is to be opened soon the first free library for children in England in a building in which that lover of children, Charles Dickens, spent several eventual years of his own childhood. It is an idea of se appropriate and fitting that all supporters of the scheme must wish for its success. The house in question is 33 Johnson Street, Somers Town, and the Dickens family lived here after they left Chatham, being tenant of the house "for five years. From this house Dickens, the father, was taken to the Debtor's house, where he met which afterwards supplied his son with "copy" for two of his most famous books, "The Pickwick Paper" and "Little Dorrit."
Dickens is a striking example of how much can be accomplished by a case of genius under advers conditions and made bad. In "David"
Copperfield", who tells us what help and enlightenment he got in his wretched surroundings from the few books which made up his father's tiffy library. Though small, that library was large enough for child. Don Quixote and Gli Blas—
such of these masterpieces is composed of many stories—and from Fielding, Smollett, Goldsmith and Defoe. Dickens must have learnt the music of words, and the grace and dignity of a tale of life well told.
in the works of great authors, every one who has the welfare of children it heart, must rejoice.
This morning as I sit on my su porch, which is quite up among the trees, and study and work, I become conscious that my little friend with the silver voice has returned for the fall and winter. Just what he looks like, I cannot tell you, for in truth I have never seen him, but this much I do know, he is dramatic and very affected. His one little song consists of but three notes, in the descending order of the scale, but they are sent forth with a tremolo and ascend that I am sure he must be rehearsing for some grand symphony. Yes, this must be true, and I also see that there is to be great competition for first place in this recital, for, from another part of the garden now comes the same little throbbing song, and yet a third, I hear -ahl rivalry vivray!- Christian Science Monitor
