THE BAND
Is the University Band in its proper sphere? If not, should it be placed and under what department? It will be conceded by everyone that the band should be placed in the department where the greater part of its work lie, and where it can devote the best efforts to the institution which it serves.
Last year a change was noticeable in the band's playing at athlete contexts, especially during the latter part of the school year. Many uncomplimentary remarks were heard on account of this condition, which by the way, was no fault of the bandsmens themselves, who in many cases attended baseball games entirely upon their own initiative without any other incentive than loyalty to the university.
Without a doubt the band's best service is performed in connection with the Athletic Department. Without the band, parades, rallies, football games and all other athletic functions would be like a circle with elephants. The band, which is so vital to the success of athletics has no connection with that particular department what-soever.
Can the university afford to let this important part of its school spirit lag behind.
THERE'S A REASON
John Sbea has been one of the most bared and generally "cussed out" men on the bill this fall. When we were worn out with enrollment rushing and other nerve trying processes, we worked out some of our disposition on the condition of the campus roads. Raving about them has become more or less of a habit this fail and it is time that we either quit it or use our brains and rave intelligently.
Mr. Shea could not start work on the roads until after the first of the fiscal year, June 30, because of lack of funds. Weather conditions all through the summer and fall have been most unfavorable to work of this kind. For the great part of the time the turn up roads have been a sea of mud. Ordinarily they would not work on the roads in the condition they are in now.
Now the next time you feel yourself becoming wrought up over the University roads, just remember that there are two sides to every question, and John Shea is no doubt doing better under the circumstances than you would
FOLLOW THE FLIVVER
Now that Henry Ford has thrown a monkey wrench in the ever mounting high prices by reducing the price of the fliver 10 to 20 per cent, perhaps the expense account of the K. U. student can eventually be pared down to half-way meet the estimate of the
cost statistician of the University catalog.
The sore spot among the students at present is the $7.50 a week for board. The argument of the loquacious steward in presenting his card has frequently been that while food prices now are lower they may soon skyward again. It is certain that food prices now are lower than they were last spring and yet the Lawrence landlaws generally have added 50 cents.
The biggest hike of course has been in room rent, jumping from an average of $12 to $15 to an average of $18 to $25 a month. The big item in the room rent on the second and third floor of course is the increased cost of the coal in the basement. But one item that cannot be overlooked is the propaganda that has been sent out from Lawrence all summer concerning the shortage of rooms. And yet in the Kansan each day are advertised a number of rooms, all of which can be classified in the student district. The increased cost of education in Lawrence has been partly psychological as in every other part of the country. And so while Detroit is a long ways from Lawrence and the Fliver is not the accepted car for rush week at the University, the decline already started and now accentuated by Mr. Ford, will have its reaction in Lawrence.
ARE YOU THE EXTREMIST?
There are several ways of getting an education at the University. There are usually three types of people who are trying each of the several ways. The first type is the person who has the art of merely getting by. He goes to class for a week at a time without opening a book. He writes just enough papers to get by, and all he knows at quiz time is what he has absorbed in class.
The second type is the other extreme. He studies from the wee small hours to the wee small hours. He scarcely has time to stop to eat and has no use for such frivolities as the Y, M, C, I. A meetings or conventions. In his opinion people are fools who take time for parties, hikes, or anything which is not found in the two covers of a book.
But luckily there is a type which strikes a happy medium. They study, and learn concentration to keep from becoming a book worm. They have their papers all up on time, and yet manage to attend Y meetings, convocations, dances, hikes and other entertainments.
There is much more to education than that which is found in the two covers of a book.
Campus Opinions
Editor of the Kansan:—
Why is the campus still littered with board walls? a year ago students were led to believe before spring came again a regular walk was a thing of beauty and a joy forever.
Spring has passed and summer is all that a regular walk will the students have to rush across old narrow board walls that will soon be slippery and dangerous All over the campus are signs that warn the student to keep off the grass but during the rush between classes the grass will trample and till the grass in order to avoid collisions and blockades.
When will this congestion be relieved? When can the students go upon the campus and have no fear of wet and muddy feet? And how can you avoid them without seeing board walls wide and der to avoid collissions and blockades?

ALUMNI NOTES
