SPRING AND QUIZZES
Phones, Bell K. U. 25 and 48
Telephones are the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the deeds at the Uni
to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others; to best of its ability the students of the University.
TUESDAY, MAY 18, 1920
Ranking high among the fallacies and paradoxes of University life, is the combination of newly greened trees and shrubs, thermometers hovering in the regions between seventy and eighty degrees, and quizzes only three weeks away.
The out-of-doors is great these nights; but one can't do pages and pages of back library reading, or experiments due weeks ago, or term papers which haven't been started while enjoying the marvels of spring time. If spring fever would only hold off another week or two—but it won't.
Even to such a situation, there is a good side. We are continually informed that university life is not merely to learn from books and laboratories but that mental training is one of the most important things to be gained from college courses. And it is certainly good training to the undergraduate's will to force a trip up the river for the sake of a back assignment!
To aid the young lawyer in sticking to their work these warm spring days, the chairs of the law library have been varnished.
CARRANZA MAY TRAVEL
Mexican political life can certainly not be accused of lacking spice and variety, no matter what may be said, it's from one night to the next stability. After a control which lasted a little longer than usual, it seems that Carranza is about to join the list of discards.
According to the later reports Carranza has not been captured yet but is still defending himself with a small band of followers. General Obregon insists that the complete surrender of Carranza within a short time is inevitable.
When surrender and a trial is announced from Mexico it is generally expected that the firing squad will administer treatment in a short while, but General Obregon for further variety says that Carranza will be allowed a trip abroad.
General Diaz, who was the first of this series of monarchs, died before introduction to the squad. General Madero following Diaz was crowded out of his shaking seat by Gen. Francisco Madero and met the inevitable squad. Madero met general Huerta in a short time and lost.
Huerta lasted only until Carranza and his followers found trace of his lunching place and he died mysteriously while being conducted to trial in an automobile. Probably the carburer exploded.
Since the demise of Huerta, Carranza and Obregon have been playing hide and seek back and forth until Obregon has evidenced the place of number next, and promises that Carranza will be unharmed but must leave.
Leaving is one thing and where to is another. He is to be conducted to Vera Cruz and allowed to go where he chooses. It is probable that the United States will be his first landing place, but because of certain verified rumors of German sympathy, he will not be met with a brass band and for congenial sur
roundings will be forced to move on. Considering the feeling in general in Europe there is only one country where he will be happy and that is Germany. He would be a welcome visitor to Kaiser Bill. There will be many things that they will have in common to discuss. For instance they can compare notes on whiskers. Carranza has shaved his off and by proof of the famous hay wagon picture of the ex-Kaiser in his garden, he has grown a large crop of them.
SAY, "PLEASE"
A much more effective sign for stopping trespassers on the campus grass has been suggested by one of the University's delegates to the national Theta Sigma Phi convention held at Wisconsin last week.
At the northern University they have small, neat signs which read, "Please" at the entrance of all the suspectible places where students are likely to cut across the grass.
The old idea of command and obey is fast disappearing from University life in the class room, why shouldn't it disappear from the campus altogether. The University of Kansas should not be behind any other University in whatever it does whether it be signs or instructors.
It would be much nicer if the estimable superintendent of buildings and grounds would change his sign from "Keep off the Grass" to "Please Keep off the Grass."
"CARRAGES AND KINGS"
Antiquarians may well feel thrill of horror chase each other up and down their spines at the very thought of the Italian peasants planting cabbages and artichokes in the classic soil of the ruins of Hadrian's villa, of the most famous religions of imperial Rome. But utilitarians will hardly share the thrill, for there seems to be no reason to believe that the roots of these useful but plenian vegetables will go so deep into the earth as to injure the archontic treasures supposed buried thereun-
It is a far cry from the purple shows of the past to the partially purple tops of artichokes—and what is missed in the closeness of the analogy between the colors and the quality of "turnips," in comparison with sentimental souvenirs, as a matte of daily provener. The divalent staff of life loops much larger in the eyes of the world today than do the crumbling columns of the villas of emperors dust these many centuries, and when themselves will not be harmed by shading a few acres of cabbages and artichokes.
The be-spectacled curators of sac rosanct historic sites may be paradised their "goosefishfish" at the sac rilleg committed, but the average man will be more inclined to sympathize with the peanants who are only scratched by the surface of the halffield without harming either the more valuable relic that rest beneath it. "Imperious Caesar, dead and turned to clay, may stop a hole to keep the wind away," as Hamlet observed and Hadrian will serve a much more useful purpose in his dusty death than he did in his spangled life. He would then Romans to grow a few succulent vegetables on his vila' grounds.
At a more convenient season, when the grip of hunger at the waistline is not so strong, the busy spades may dir beneath the sod now disturbed by the fettle of the treasures that have lain buried in darkness for two thousand years and more. But just now the pressing problem is cabbages and artichokes; the kings and emperors of classic Rome must keep them from until the world is less hungry than it is today.—Kansas City Journal.

When they went across the lawn
They threw the parking
To the other side the parking.
The policeman who came by
Arrested them for sparking.
A merry little Watt
We'll find it rather damp here."
Now Ampere felt so shocked That she honers to say
To the other side the parking,
The policeman who came by Arrested them for sparking.
That she began to cry,
"If mother hears about it,
I know I'll surely lie.
The policeman had compassion.
And said, "I'll let you go.
"I mother hears about it, I know I'll surely die."
Now Watt he was so grateful That they had been released.
And she said.
If arresting you would kill you,
Go home and dynamo."
He cried. "Come to the Eldridge, I'l set you up a feast.
And if some day you're threatened With danger, like as not. I'll shield you from destruction.
With danger,
I'll shield you from destruction,
And let them kilowat!!"

Legion Men as Leaders Editor. Daily Kansan:
As Ampere, quite demure,
Said, "Oh. I am so happy.
The American Legion now has about five hundred thousand members and should have at least two million. It is at the present time conducting a nation-wide campaign to get new service man should join the Legion.
The future welfare of the United States is, and will be in the hands of the service men. These men have not asserted themselves very distinctly. This they will do in the future when they have grown older, but through the American Legion they have made a start in their service and are interested in the organization of ex-service men and will hope or wise leadership.
Charles C. Sperry, A. B. '18, is in the Bureau of Biological Survey,
Washington, D. C.
The service men have several good newspapers and are doing more than their share toward keeping alive the patriotic spirit. If America is to have the unselfish service of four million ex-service men their service to the country will be held for them. The chance to get this service is through the American Legion and every encouragement should be given in their drive to bring the total of their membership to the two million mark. Service Man.

NINE cases out of ten, the man who once smokes a WDC Pipe becomes a life member of the WD C club. He can't help it, because a WDC is certainly a man's size smoke. It's as sweet and mellow as carefully selected French briar and expert seasoning can make it. Not only material of the first water, but craftsmanship of the highest order, and designs that are most pleasing—all combine to make the WDC Pipe a smoke of peace, contentment and satisfaction. A man's smoke. Any good dealer will confirm this.
