THE DAY OF THANKS
The great national Day of Thanksgiving instituted by our Pilgrim fathers in their bleak but home-like settlement on the New England coast, three hundred years ago is near arm at hand. The holiday of rest and thanks originated by them is now growing old in years but this has only served to give it the added power and authority of time-honored tradition.
Countless sermons have been preached and thousands of eulogies and discourses have been given on this day. With all its historical color and appeal we have not forgotten the dominant purpose underlying it—that of thanking God simply and sincerely from our hearts for his goodness to us in a miracle of ways. And this is a hopeful sign.
To us as students of the University of Kansas the Thanksgiving spirit of 1920 should burn with more than ordinary forer. We have many things to be thankful for as individuals but not least among our list of gifts requiring thanks are those which we have received collectively as a student-body of K. U.
And what are they? Can we attribute such things as the success of our team this fall or our recent victory in raising our part of the Million-dollar Fund to divine guidance and support? Some of us might say that God helped us to put the drive across and that He instilled into our team that spirit that made them tie Nebraska. Others of us would laugh at the idea.
After all is said and done, the fact remains that it is a glorious time, this pious of Thanksgiving. To us as students it is symbol of joy, of fun and frolic, and of mental relief and rest. And underlying it all should be the earnest spirit of thankfulness to the great unseen Power granting all favors and deciding all destines. Let us not forget to pay homage to Him during our Thanksgiving recess.
What after all are superhuman physical efforts and genuine sacrilege financially and otherwise, but the promptings of a spirit which God only knows the exact nature of
Tomorrow the great proportion of us will leave for our homes to spend the long-looked forward to Thanksgiving vacation. We will leave the Hill, with its strenuous activities, and forget, temporarily, all about the next assignment or quiz.
A PRACTICAL VACATION
Most of us, too, will forget for 'n' while about the big drive which we have just finished giving such a nice cessful start. It will be a relief, in our first day's recess, to think about
less exacting and responsible things.
But after the first day's respite, when our minds and bodies have been rested and refreshed with new outside activities, we should recall it again to mind, and give it a quiet boost at home. Tell the home folks about it, and especially those who are alumni or are otherwise interested in the University. Tell them of how we did our share in the big drive, and what we expect them to do and what we expect them to do in finishing it.
First hand information from the students to alumni will do a whole lot more toward loosening up their pursurstrings than written communication.
The Thanksgiving recess at home offers many of us an opportunity to do an immense amount of result-producing boosting for the biggest thing in the history of our Alma Mater, the Million-Dollar Stadium-Student Drive.
THE WILL TO WIN
Although comparatively few of us will be privileged to be on Rolls Field at Columbia Thursday, when our boys meet the Bengals, still the hearts of each and every one of us will be there.
If we could make every man who plays on the Kansas eleven that day feel that spirit of confidence and backing which every student and loyal alumnaus, is giving him in silent, unspoken words, nothing would keep him and his team-mates from emerging victorious at the end of the battle. It is, after all, like "Phog" says, the moral support, as well as the actual roiling, which the students give the team that gives them that never-sayy迪 spirit that tied Nebraska and will beat Missouri.
Let us fan anew in our minds, and breasts that flame of absolute faith and confidence which was caught up and exemplified by the team in the Nebraska contest. It will again be caught up by them and will give them the courage and resolve which will enable us to say of the Thanksgiving contest, that the Kansas Jayhawk out another twist in the Missouri Tiger's tail.
SPONTANEOUS LOYALTY
Nothing was ever like it before. At the Follies Saturday night, the audience of 2000 did a wonderful thing. It cheered spontaneously for the production, paid close and respectful attention to the action, and kept decently quiet in the intervals of entertainment.
When the Chancellor entered the auditorium, the audience rose as one person and cheered him vehement; and respectfully. No cheerleader waved his agile body to and fro be fore its eyes, but a "Yea, Chancellor" with fifteen perfectly tamed rah greeted Dr. Lindley. Before the curtain went up, the audience stood sang the "Crimson and the Blue" an ended with an enthusiastic Roel Chalk.
Is this, then, another manifestation of the "New Era," as exemplified by the "backcome" of the football team against Nobrekba, by the success of
A GOOD IDEA
the Memorial Drive, and the new optimism?
The semester is over half gone and one class in the department of journalism cannot secure enough text books to supply the class. By means of a closer co-operation between the members of the faculty and the manager of a co-operative store, enough books could be ordered and obtained to supply the demand. In the present book-supply system, there is too much loss of fear on unsold text books
Why not have a place reserved in the new Union Building for a cooperative book store? Other universities and colleges have co-operative stores and they have proved to be a success. Not only can student supplies be sold by a co-operative method more cheaply, but also better service is afforded.
"PHOG'S" CLENCHED FIST "Phog" Allen's last words to the Phog at the Santa Fe station this morning, although unspoken, were: "We're going to fight the Tiger and fight him hard." Every one understood what that clenched fist meant.

MARY CAROLYN DAVIES
What a man may be as an athlete, and what a woman may be as a mother, cannot be exemplified more clearly than in the case of Jack Reeves, star Emporia Normal football player, who died recently from an injury received in the Normal-Washburn game, and his mother's bravery at such a time of sorrow. Jack Reeves
at such a time of sorrow. Jack Reeves, night well be taken as an ideal for athletes, both in his personal life, and his actions on the gridiron.
the memory of the departed hero that the following, from the Kansas Stat Normal Bulletin:
No finer compliment can be paid to the mother of the lost athlete, or to
"A mother's most precious possession is a babe, and that child matures into manhood, that sublime mother-love worships as a living God, that life of her own creation. Mrs. (Reeves) Wood was an ideal mother; she wrapped Jack as her ideal man; she loved the tall, broad, young giant as only a mother can love; his merry eyes the light of her life; his kindness 'an'
sanguiness were the realization b
her dreams of perfect manhood.
“But out of the great beyond an
inexhausted hand out and took
Jack from her. Like the mad, mereci-
galing gurders waters at a whirlpool,
grief and sorrow engulfed her. No
more would Jack’s strong arms
embrace her; stilled is his merry
eve; silent is his cheery laugh.
"Jack loved his mother dearly and spoke of her often. He was very fond of taking her on fishing trips and greatly enjoyed visiting with her. She alone knew his ideals and aspirations, for she was Jack's bosom friend. She loved the things he loved, and his ideals became her ideals.
Dormitories for women would not only make living conditions more pleasant but would also equalize the opportunities for work. In all, there would be a better chance to study, a better chance for rest, and social activities.
sigma lepton manly; he is the prize while taking dinner with his fraternity brothers, and was anxious to meet Jack's friends. She loved Emporia Kansas State Normal, and Jack's host of friends. To Coach Hargiss and Schabinger she said, "Gentlemen, though you induced Jack to come to school, I want you to know that I hold nothing against you; I love you and I love football, because Jack did. It was his ambition to be a football star and he chose his home."
"We who are not mothers cannot fully realize the sorrow through which she has passed, yet we do realize that Jack's loving, kind, and ambitious mother gave him that which made him so lovable"
THE HOUSING QUESTION
"Jack's mother, though broken hearted and grief-striken, is strong and brave, for, as she says, "that is the way Jack would want to me." Plainly do we see the steller character of Jack was not a gift of the Gods but the inherited gift from a loving mother.
The housing question is still a pertinent one that can only be set-ted by having halls of residence. Conditions are no better this year than last. Many women are living in houses, which are more or less inconvenient in many ways, one of the most important being the distance from the University. Rooms within a reasonable distance of the Hill for all the women is an impossibility. Halls of residence or dormitories is the only solution. Dormitories for women would not
