THEM UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas
The Daily Kansaan aims to picture the undergraduate in the university to go farther than merely printing the news and to plan ideas. It plans the University hold; to play the series; to be clean; to be cheerful; to learn; to express oneself; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all to find ways to help students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 20, 1920.
CONVOCATIONS
In his initial talk to the students of the University, Chancellor Lindley emphasized the fact that K. U. would have "family gatherings" in the form of convocations every week this year, if possible. The weeklygatherings were made a permanent affair by a recent action.
The coming back of the convocation marks the revival of an old form of activity, which has been a decided factor in University life. And it can be made to serve a better purpose on the Hill than it has in the past. The success of University convocations depends upon one thing—support. It is designated to serve the students, and to affect a better spirit of loyalty and fellowship, by bringing together all departments and schools, factions and parties. It is up to the students, then, as to whether or not the weekly conviction shall be a success in the future at the University.
There is a deadly malady which can easily infest the student body, and in time cause the complete failure of the student assemblies. This is the disease of "slipup away", evidenced by going to the room, to the cafe, or spending a social hour on the steps of Fraser or in the library, during convocation hour. The malady is easily acquired and difficult to get rid of. The best method is to stay away from it entirely. Attendance at convocation is not compulsory, and for that reason, it should receive the full voluntary support of the students.
It is up to every student to be a booster, and not a slacker, when student assemblies are called. Individual support of the weekly convocation will help to make it a success and a stronger factor as a part of the University life.
There are men so economically inclined that they take big steps in walking for the purpose of conserving shoe-leather.
OUR STADIUM
The school year is now well started, and between lessons, athletic events, and social functions, the average student finds his time so well occupied that he is tempted often to doubt whether he can afford to reserve a part of it even for sleep. With daily assignments assuming mid-semester form, with football every Saturday afternoon, and with social activities in full awning, student life from now on until the holidays will be one dizzy whirl of work and recreation.
Amid all these engrossing activities, we are likely to forget one salient object which every student, professor, and alumnus of the University should keep constantly before him. That is our stadium. It will be by steady consistent work upon the part of eve-
erbbyb connected with the University of Kansas that the stadium project will be put across and become a reality by Thanksgiving day of 1921.
We must think about our stdium, talk about it, boost for it, and keep it fresh in our minds. It is, after all the big issue of the year 1920-1921, and if it goes across, and go it must it will distinguish that year from all others in the past or future history of our University.
Big Business has notified the consuming public that prices are dropping. The middle-man and retailer are marking down their wares. But the ladies who are managing boarding clubs are maintaining a discreet silence. They are much like a gambler, of 137 Infantry fames, whose slogan was, "Get the money. No matter how you get it—get it!"
IT MIGHT HELP
Do University Students know how to read?
They do not, and if they did they do not believe in signs anyway. Or at least that seems to be true if the resuperance of the old campus paths can be taken as an omen.
Last year the University went to some trouble to place signs at various points around on the campus with the often-seen-through-never-headed admonition to "Keep Off The Grass."
Now whether the student is naturally a contrary animal or whether he wishes to be coaxed is the problem that confronts the University grounds authorities.
If he is contrary then nothing can be done.
If he needs coaxing then by all means the authorities should call in the advertising experts and design some artistic and pleasing poster that
can be changed from time to time with some of the following sentences:
"Would you kindly refrain from reembaucing on the turf?"
"Would it be taking too much liberty to suggest that sidewalks were made for the oscillation of pedal extremities."
Almost any self-respecting student presents the idea of being ordered about and that harsh sign "Keep Off The Grass" grates on his nerves and the reaction to the sign causes the reappearance of the paths.
MEAT!
The meant man has been found: He originated the word quiz. This man, whose name was Daly, wagered that within twenty-four hours he could introduce a new and meaningless word into the English language. That night he and his cronies chalked on walls and pavements throughout Dublin the four letters quiz, which next morning set the agog. The perplexed populace debated the buffling rubric for days, and it took so firm a hold that it has remained curant in our language, as a synonym for questioning.
Many a woman student will vote a Republican or Democratic ballot because that is the way papa votes.
Much has been said in regard to the lack of support by the student body of the team. It has always been a favorite theme at rallies, conventions and various other university gatherings. Pep-embushistas have invariably exorted the students to greater vocalization, to give more visible proof of their loyalty to the university, and to back the team to the limit. All of which is well and good. But let us take a look at the question from another side.
"THANKS"
A Lawrence business man who happened to be sitting in the north bleachers Saturday during the game made the remark that he, personally, had never witnessed better student support of the team, or heard better yelling by any body of K. U. students in all the years he had been attending university football games. And he meant it.
Certainly this remark dropped in the way of praise means a good deal. It means that the students are behind the team; that they are supporting it to the limit; and that they are fighting every bit of the contested ground to the last inch along with the men
who are representing the university on the football field.
If an outsider can unqualifiedly praise K. U. spirit and sportmanship it is something to really be proud of, and deserves more than the more passing remark, "oh, that's nothing." The news that the coal operators have added 100 percent to the mine cost of coal in arriving at the selling price, and coal retailers in the state have added 50 percent to their costs almost makes us shiver already.
Swinging a vote may now be suecessfully accomplished by the vigorous swinging of a rolling-pin.
It is strange how some men regard the weather. The other day, while a southern gale was ripping across the camps, more than one fellow was heard to remark, "Isn't this a wonderful day?"

ALUMNI NOTES
As the time for mid-semester exams approach, many of us bemean the fact that shirts with stiff cuffs have out of style.
The domestic trouble in many American homes have been brought to a climax by the advent of political differences.
'qalign, many an ex-doughboy has stopped humming that old trench song, "I Ain't Got Weary Yet."
Soon we will hear stories of the he-necked husband who, on being asked how he is going to vote, will answer, "I'll have to ask my wife."
Don't get all puffed up because you are a Senior. A Freshman cap often covers as many brains as a high-priced Fedora.
Campus Opinions
Just the instant that some exciting play which had brought the crowd to their feet had ended, they immediately practiced a little chorus and played it too much effort to stand up for a football game, you know.
In the south bleachers at Saturday's game sat a group of about 10 men in a certain section (not with the Thundering T thousand). Directly in front of them was a group of women. When the Cheerleader called the rooters to their feet for a yell, various grimaces of dissatisfaction were heard from the men and sometimes they rooted and shouted. The children mostly didnt. Perhaps they decided they couldn't do as well as the enthusiastic rooting of the women in front.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Edith Steininger, B. S. '20, is teaching science and mathematics in the Manhattan High School this winter.
Now, I would like to ask which deserves the blanket more—the man who not only comes to the game himself to root for his team but also brings a date to help, or the man who can't master enough energy to stand without grunting or to root more than half the time?
Lawson May c'20, is working for the San Antonio Herald.
Between halves a date was found about two rows back and of course they heralded his discovery with much glee.
Bleacher Loyalty
Hazel Scott, fa'20, is teaching music in the schools at Oswego Kansas, this year.
Hill P. Wilson, B. S. '05, is in the diamond fields of Belgian Congo.
Bruce Hurd, '14, was on the Hill yesterday renewing old acquaintances. Mr. Hurd is now county attorney of Mitchell county, Kansas.
Get Better Acquainted
William Asendorf, assistant instructor in inorganic chemistry, is one of the University's own products. Re received his B. S. degree here in the spring of 1920 and was for that year employed as student instructor in the department of chemistry.
WILLIAM ASENDORF
"I can't say just why I happen to be teaching," said Mr. Asendorf. "Maybe the shortage of instructors had something to do with it; probably I need them." And that I like to teach. Perhaps all three reasons are more or less responsible for my remaining here. I don't think I'm a freak but I actually like some parts of chemistry and art, the best fields a man can enter."
Along with his teaching, Mr Asendorf is doing research work in organic chemistry to obtain material for his master's thesis.
MISS LUCY HACKMAN
Miss Lucy Hackman is a native Kansan and a product of Lawrence, where she was born and received her elementary and high school training. After finishing high school, she was graduated from the department of entomology, in the College of Liberal Arts. She is a student at MIT and is doing graduate work along with her teaching. She is working on a research problem which she hopes to finish this year. The jasmina family, or leaf hopper, is her subject on which she will write her thesis. Her collection of specimens is now complete, and
is a senior faculty morphology.

in required to get fifty bulbs of different families before the cold weather makes it impossible to obtain them. Miss Hackman is a loyal daughter of her alma matter and is glad to see her grow and prosper.
"This phase of the work is really the most interesting to me," she said. Field trips have been claiming most of the class time, for each student is required to get fifty bugs of different families before the cold
MISS ETHEL JONES
Miss Ebiel Ann Jones, instructor in chemistry, is one of the new instructors, but is known by many members of the present faculty, as she is an alumna of the University. Miss Jones received her A. B. degree in 1913 and her A. M. degree in chemistry in 1916. In the winter of 1918 and 1919 she held the position of chemist in the water laboratory in Snow Hall, where tests of the water supplies of the city were conducted. Last year she was instructor in chemistry in the Oregon State College at Corvallis, Oregon.
The opportunity for advanced study, together with the fact that this is her aunita matter, were the reasons that she answered the "call of Kansai" to teach chemistry to each. She hopes to do some research work this year, but so far has been occupied with helping to solve the problems that have arisen because of an overcrowded chemistry department. During the summer session, he had been playing in the water laboratory, while he went on his vacation.
"I scarcely know which is the more interesting phase of the work," said Miss Jones. "Both the laboratory work and teaching are pleasant to me, and I like to change from one to the other."
