BUY A DIRECTORY
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Keep off the Grass." It is true that there is not any grass on the campus now, and there will be less nest Spring.
A purely student enterprise which is doomed to failure this year without additional co-operation—that seems to be the status of the student district. A deficit was expected because of a larger number of correction than was estimated, but the small number sold makes the fate of the directory and prospects for next year extremely problematical.
The usefulness of the book cannot be overestimated, yet it secures the Student Council members who had charge of the work seemingly did overestimate the interest of the students, for a large number remain uninsued at book-stores and stationers. The reason for the small sales can lie only in student indifference and not in a disparagement of the book's value.
Every student will find the directory a convenience and to many it will be a necessity. Through negligence or otherwise the sale of the book has fallen so low that it may be almost counted a failure. Let's show by buying copies that we don't think the school should be without a directory.
"GALOSHES"
Feminine fashion has again inaugrated a daring innovation. Several pairs of dainty feet clad in unagainst galoshes have been observed treading the slimy campus sidewalks with indifference to the critical eyes directed from the Law and Ad steps and from other points of vantage.
the eccentricities of feminine fashion seldom tend toward the utilitarian or toward the unbeautiful. This latest whim has both qualities. That it will have the approval of biologists and house mothers cannot be doubted; whether it suits the masculine eye makes little difference.
The possessor of a dainty ankle can perhaps afford to cloak its charm with an old-fashioned overshoe, for then the warm and windy days of March will be welcomed with more joy than ever before, and after the winter of discontent these flashing feminine lures will be better appreciated.
In eastern schools and northern ones where snowmasters are more frequent and more realistic than even in Kanaan, the galioh has come to be an ordinary form of hibernation for the oxford and the pump. It is not uncommon to see the other-wise dainty co-ed slushing along with her Alaskans umbbucked and flapping in the wintry breezes. Such a sight makes one appreciate the peculiar euphonious quality of the
The arrival of wool hosiery last winter may appropriately be followed with the inauguration of the rubber overdye now. One is reminiscent of the other. Both are unlovely, both are approved by doctors, both are long on wear. They appeal to the sense of sensibility if not to the sense of beauty.
TRADITIONS—WHAT SHALI THEY PROFIT YOU?
What would Greece have been without her myth? How much has it meant to the Scandinavian countries to possess their wealth of foliage? And who can ever say to what extent the morale, the spirit, the very life of our nation has been influenced by traditions of our forefathers, who suffered and fought, lived and died, for glorious principles? Underly a group of people is materially influenced by the content of its traditions. It is a part of the environment of the individual numbers and cannot be escaped.
The University of Kansas, too, has traditions—traditions of the worth while kind. Back in the early, soul-stirring days of Kansas' history there were the men of vision who saw the need for higher learning, even while the people were struggling against enormous odds to maintain existence. There are countless tales of difficulties, heroicly surmounted, in the days after the young college had come into existence.
And coming farther down the scale in importance, there are numerous stories of absorbing interest of early day customs, class fights, daily chapel exercises with student rhetoricals, a library housed in the basement of Fraser and a gymnasium in the attic of Blake. Not a building is on the campus but what has an interesting history, hardly a rock or a tree exists but what might yield a story.
talking this fund of the local folklore, exploring to the fullest extent this great storehouse of unifying power for the student body as a whole? How many freshmen know when or how the "Crimson and the Blue" became the school song and what was the name of the first chancellor? Trivial questions these may seem on first thought, but it is of such knowledge that the stuff of school spirit, loyalty and devotion to the cause of alma mater are made. Our individual traditions are what make us, not merely students of any university, but students of the University of Kansas, in the deepest, richest significance of the term.
The Kansan would not suggest that a compulsory course in traditions be instituted for the benefit of the freshmen, though such a movement might be highly beneficial. But it does advocate that each student on the Hill, senior as well as freshman, realize the value to himself individually and to the institution as a whole of knowing more about his school. A great deal has been done in the way of popular education along these lines. The Quill Club performed a service of inestimable worth hast spring with the publication of the tradition number of the Oread Magazine. Other organizations and individuals are to be commended. But much remains to be done, especially since each year brings a new class of freshmen to be instructed in the ways of our University.
Are you getting the full benefit of your university? Is it meaning to you all that it might? Take a little time to read what has been published in the past, be acquainted with the splendid characters among our faculty members who have been here since early times and learn a great deal more from them, that has never been printed. Today there is a tendency everywhere toward dissolution of ties, but it is a passing fancyfofa rapidly moving age and will soon fade. Not only will your University mean more to you now, but it will be a memory infinitely nearer and dear during alumni days to come, if you will but strengthen the bonds that hold you to it by familiarizing yourself with its traditions.

I hate the wideness of the Wise.

And from the buds of impulse spring
The fruits of paradise.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
With the holidays almost here, each County Club organization, or should be, thinking about plans for putting the Stadium-Union project before the alumni of their county. There are in numerable ways in which to do this, but in mapping out the project, there is a need for visualize for them the effect the new stadium will have on future athletics at the University?
The University of Kansas is noted for its clean sportmanship perhaps more than its victorious teams. The athletic management strives to handle games with discipline, clean, fair play, even at the cost of a victory. This is perhaps more true of the present management and staff of coaches than ever before. It will bring fruit in the future, and it will help increase her share of victorious teams.
Every man likes to know that when he goes out for athletics he will have all the facilities and conveniences possible. The Million Dollar Drive will provide for the University one of the largest and best athletic stadiums west of the Mississippi. The Athletic Association will then be in a position adequately to care for the men who are to represent the University in all the different sports. Dressing rooms, lockers, showers, etc., cater to the needs of the students. When the students go home for vacation, why cannot they take time and tell the high school athletes of the proposed stadium, and the union building? It will mean better teams for the University. For K, U, First.

The department of physics at the Central Missouri State Teachers College will offer a two and one-half hour course in automobiles during the winter.

The University of Kentucky is sending out questionnaires in an attempt to find out the average cost of the education of its students and to contrain some scheme to reduce that cost if possible.
