Forty dollars! Just think what a lot of ice cream, candy, cakes, movies, dories, neckties and other non-essentials that sum would buy. But stop a moment—think how much more profitable the purchase of a part interest in your Alma Mater would be.
FORTY DOLLARS!
Every time you are tempted to buy a banana split or a bag of chocolates—yes, even every other time—just put the money in your "stadium box." Add soon you will have Sandy's "fork fish" without feeling that you've half tried. The sum will seem small them, and maybe you'll be tempted to try for the other goal—one hundred dollars.
Then, instead of having a Hershey wrapper, a failing appetite and a movie mind, to show for your forty, you'll be blessed with that grandest and most glorious of all feelings—the sense of duty well done.
Just prepare that box—it will be Alna Mater's "hope chest" if enough students take up the idea. Make your mottle "Everything going in, nothing coming out." In other words, overcome temptation by putting your popcorn money in the box, but on no account yield to it by removing any change therefrom. Resolve that that money belongs to the Million Dollar Drive, and that you are only its trusted keeper.
Are you for K. S. U.?—Kansas Stadium Union.
EN AVANT, CRANBERRY
As the season approaches Thanksgiving time the cranberry steps out from comparative oblivion and almost overnight becomes one of the most talked of delicacies of the American dining table. The cranberry's fame is periodical. Along about the middle of November he wins a place in the grocery store advertisements and the cola column.
His popularity reaches a climax on Thanksgiving Day, when he becomes the partner of the turkey in giving the Thanksgiving dinner its proper zeit and flavor. And then the cranberry begins to hibernate, and is mentioned only rarely until the following Thanksgiving.
Just why the cranberry should be given a place of honor along with the Thanksgiving turkey is a matter difficult to ascertain. It is feared that little can be said of the cranberries qualities that should enable him to be deserving of his position. He could never gain fame on account of his appearance. Crushed and cooked into an irregular, reddish mass, cranberry sauce in anything but pleasing to the vision.
But more tragic than all, the cranberry's appeal to the gustatory ele-
There are 121 photographs attached to the wall on the first floor of Fraser Hall. These photographs are of persons, once affiliated with the University of Kansas, who lost their lives in the World War. There are photographs containing the red cross of the nurse's uniform, the blue of the navy uniform, officers' bars, corporals' chevrots, and the unadorned sleeve of the private. Beneath each photograph is a brief, sad legend, indicating in what manner the individual lost his or her life.
THE PICTURES ON THE WALL
This display is the only memorial the University has in honor of its glorious dead. So far, it is the only thing we have constructed in remembrance of those whose memory we cherish for carrying forward, in the Great Adventure, those ideals and principles that are dear to the hearts of every Kansan.
Next Thursday, a financial drive starts, which is to raise funds for the construction of a memorial that will approach, to some extent, our appreciation of the sacrifices of those who gave all. In the practical use of this memorial, we shall be given opportunity, for generations in the future, to express our soul-felt gratitude to those who once yelled a Rock Chalk, but whose lips now are silent.
Shall we break faith with those who died?

MORE LIGHT. PLEASE
A great deal has been said of the attitude of the University toward the Lawrence merchants, and the students have been urged to be grateful for the merchants' kindness and to act accordingly; but there has been nothing said of some of the little things that Lawrence might do for the students. The thing most desired by all students is better lighted streets. The library is a long way from some of the student houses, and many are compelled to work there at night. A short distance from the Hill, the streets are dark and deserted. Many corner lights have burned out, or been broken, and have never been replaced. The blocks in Lawrence are long, and consequently with lights gone, they are dark. Only very occasionally are there lights in the park, and it is not at all an uncommon occurrence for girls to be accepted when going along.
girls to be accosted when going along its paths.
It is by such things as these that Lawrence is known, and it would be a great improvement, not only in the city, in its reputation out over the state, if the streets were well lighted.
Pertinent inquiry: What amount should be given to the Million Dollar Drive by the student who saves enough from his income to purchase and support a motor car at college?
A JOB FOR A MAN
There is a real job open for somebody in Russia just now. A man, and a real man, is needed to take up arms against the Bolshevik. The recent incumbent has failed, and failed miserably. We are informed that his army has been routed, that a number of his generals have committed suicide, and that the Red forces are all but in control of Sobashtan. General Wrangel, the recently lamented, has taken refuge on board an American ship and appealed for aidled. Another victory has been scored by the Bolshevki in General Wrangles defeat, and it appears that the time when Bolshevki in Russia will be overthrown and the Reds conquered is yet hazy in the horizon. If the press reports from Russia are to be relied upon, that fortunate country is still in a state of turmoil, and it is evident that it will exist in that state or some time to come.
The situation in Russia requires the services of a super-man. Sprinkling oil on the troubled anarchistic waters is a task for a man with a vision. As yet, that man has not been found, but it is hoped that the near future will see the advent of a personality capable of straightening out the Russian kinks and restoring at least a semblance of peaceful prosperity.
Only forty of the Freshman class at the University of Texas were found to be physically defective. This percentage was declared to be very low.
The Bible tells us that Lot's wife looked over her shoulder, and then changed to a pillar of blood. But that is nothing strange. A woman we used to know looked at us the other day and then changed to an iceberg.
Jickson Slipy, for the past three years a sophomore, says that he is doing much better in his studies this year. He said he was taking one course in which he understood something "every once in a while."
Newspapers say that Harding has gone down to a little Texas village on the Rio Grande to rest up. If the president-elect has some idle time, is suggested that he acquire an honorary Ph.D. by supplying science with some much needed information on the sting of the southern mosquito.
The latest creation of the Paris fashion artists should interest a few of the college women. It is a beautiful waist affair made of ten silk threads and a narrow strip of Lunelieve lace. It is designed for winter wear.

You can judge the prosperity of your country by the lines of people you see. A foot bares his ophionis in the sand, a hand lifts another, a wise man studies the soup lines.
The greatest enjoyment in life comes to some people when they are telling other people their troubles.
Udodoubtedly, the people of the United States are keeping up with the times. In the recent presidential election, the candidates were cast for Abraham Lincoln.
There are a good many courses that you can get by in without doing much brain exercise. You can also learn the out of onions, but you cannot sell it.
The cost of the discovery of America by Columbus was but a little over $7,000, the old story to the effect that Queen Isabella parted with many of her finest jewels to the contrary. Two of the three ships that made that trek were the *Pinta* and *Nima*, were captured by two brothers, Martin and Violette Pinzon, and they paid all the expenses attached to these ships, as well as furnishing the craft themselves. The account books of the Pinzon show that Columbus in 1492 spent $1,500 pesetas a year, or about $300. The sailors received the magnificent sum of $2.50 a month, or about 8 cents a day.
The average student watches wearily the decline of shoe and clothing prices, and wonders what the Coca Cola company is going to do.

or under the stairs of night,

Roving up the aisle chair,
Or walking down the deck in the wi-

And in the dense rain.
These are the songs that we sing nearth the sun,
Heaving up the anchor chain,
Or walking down the deck in the wire
While we put in and bail amma,
The 'aart booming as we lean wit
And in the drizzle nand rin.
These are the songs that tell our
rarest hopes
work to be done When the moon climbs into sight
While we pull and haul amain,
we bear booming as we lean with
the ropes.
And we, bringing in the refrain.

Get Better Acquainted
Monsieur Jean Jacques Salvan, in instructor in French, was born in Switzerland in February, 1920, from Saint Jean d'Angely. He was educated in the elementary schools of France and took his degree from the University of Geneva.
His war service covered three years, from 1916 to 1918, spent in the French navy. He came to Georgia as interpreter in the convoy of ships which were taken to Newfoundland and put in the patrol service. After leaving Charleston harbor, a severe storm dismasted the ship and he had to return for repairs. It was then that Monsieur Robert Barry, an American after the war, as a sailor, he was sent on a mystery ship to Newfoundland Banks to do patrol duty. He received his discharge in 1919 and came to teach last year in the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
He is conducting a French table to which about twelve students who are majoring in French are admitted. He likes the work here and finds his students interested in their work, and well prepared.
"Wisconsin has a lairger attendance," he said, "but Kannans companies very nicely with it."
