GOODRYE. SENIOR GRAFT!
The senior class of 1920 will go down in University history as having won a fight against student graft. The battle that has been waged during the last few weeks in protest of the high cost of caps and gowns was definitely settled at a senior meeting Tuesday in Fraser Chapel. The cap and gown the senior class and his cap and gown committee calmly and without a murmur admitted its defeat, and the entire matter was turned over to the extension department.
The faint rumblings of disasiatia in regard to a $4 price for the rent of caps and gowns began to be heard about six weeks ago. Within the last three weeks the rumblings turned into growlings, and senior protest meetings were held. Now the entire matter has been investigated and settled to the complete satisfaction of the members of the 1920 class. A fair price of $2.50 has been set as the price to be charged the seniors.
The president of the senior class conducted his first meeting with his fellow-clasman in a very commendable manner Tuesday, agreeing in almost every instance that the class was in it. The right was a surprise to the class that the appointed senior cap and gown committee took the matter so calmly, except for a feeble fight for remuneration for their past work. And when the motion was made that a committee be elected by the class to investigate the seemingly high price of invitations, the chairman of the present committee was eager to welcome such an investigation.
Last fall the senior committees were appointed by the president, published in the University paper, and nothing more was heard of them. The class sat back and nothing was done until this recent fight over the caps and gowns. That point of contention is now settled, and in a fair, honest and open-faced manner.
Ship loads of British soap are being sent to Germany. We thought England's clean up on Germany was about complete.
MAN-POWER AND THE NATION Within recent months women and girls have formed not less than 60 per cent of the immigrants coming to this country, according to immigration officials, and within the last few weeks women immigrants have outnumbered men two and sometimes three to one.
From these statistics it is clearly seen that European countries are endeavoring to hold the able-bodied men at home, to assist in reconstruction work, now being undertaken in these countries. It is only the industrial non-producers, who are being allowed to emigrate from Europe.
On the other hand, consider this country. Since the signing of the armistice, approximately 275,000 immigrants have left this country to go to their native land, carrying with them about $2,000 a person. This country, too, needs able-bodied men in her mills, factories, and for reclaiming arid regions of farming country, yet our policies are not so farsighted as those of European nations and immigrants are leaving constantly.
Polish papers, both in this country and in Poland, are urging the Poles to remain in their fatherland, and other countries are putting forth similar efforts.
It is true that the laws allowing immigrants to leave this country have been made more vigorous, but it is necessary that this country take more drastic measures, in order that we may not be depleted of man-power, and that our industries may not perish.
GLEE CLUB'S SERVICE
The Men's Glee Club is rendering the University a great service. Organized and directed by Prof. F. E. Kendrie, the Club has reached a place where it is one of the best musical organizations of the University of Kansas. It has just returned from Kansas City where it gave a concert before the Kansas City High School, and last week they gave concerts in several cities in Kansas.
The good-will toward the University which the Club has promoted through these entertainments may be measured by its high degree of efficiency and its ability to give pleasing entertainment. That the University has been benefited through these concerts can hardly be questioned.
Other organizations of the University should take up the idea, and before long, the school will receive the prestige to which it is entitled.
THE BRUTALITY OF BASEBALL
THE BRUTALITY OF BASEBALL Attendance at a baseball game at the University of Kansas marks the student as an individual of brutal instincts.
Men go onto the field in knee breeches and use the most awful clubs with which they attempt to hit the man who is trying to hit them with a hard substance, spherical in shape. In case the hard substance comes too close to the man with the club, he strikes viciously at the little sphere and sometimes he even hits it. And when he hit it he becomes so obsessed with fear that he charges at a man who is standing at a forty-five degree angle in a desperate attempt to knock him out before the sphere again reaches him. If the ball goes far enough he may even attempt to lunge at another man standing in the center of the field and from all outward appearance a man who is minding his own business. That people should crowd around to see such performances is unbelievable! The idea of the game is one of brutality and hard-heartedness. Let the students of the University of Kansas congratulate themselves that they are free from any charges of supporting such nefarious proceedings.
Campus Opinion
School is going to come soon and, together with many other students, I will have to go back home and answer many questions about the University. The most important one will be, "What has become of that campaign to raise one million dollars for the children who might not bother many students but I am almost ashamed to go back home because I don't like to answer it for this reason: during the Christmas holidays our county club visited the high schools and entered them with a program boarded up in an explaining the big campaion. For the alumni in the county, a banquet was given at which we explained all we knew about the drive which assured them to start soon. We aroused their enthusiasm and now they are anxious about us. But so far we know there hasn't been anything done definite.
Editor, Daily Kansan:-
What are we expected to tell the people at home when they ask us about the big drive? Will someone who knows, please inform us why nothing has been done or if something has been done what it is?
A County Club President.
One Thing I Liked
A series by University faculty members pointing out the good features of other universities and colleges where they have been.
At Syracuse University, Syracuse, N. Y., where I spent eleven years as director of the voice department in the College of Fine Arts, there is a University Chorus of mixed voices, with a membership of about 250. This chorus gives not less than two concerts each year, at which a standard choral work is performed. The public concert of miscellaneous works. The chorus is thoroughly organized and takes great pride in the work it does.
This chorus is the nucleus around which the Syracuse Festival Chorus of about 600 voices is built. This chorus gives to the university a unique performance without cost, in the great choral works. By its performances, it teaches the appreciation of the higher forms of choral music to the student body, and is a source of inspiration.
At present the University of Kansas has no mixed chorus, owing to the difficulty in getting out men in sufficient numbers to make a well-balanced or balanced chorus.
The band, the orchestra and the men's and women's gice clubs are now firmly established. I hope that next year enough men students at the University will be allowed to warrant the establishment of a first-class mixed chorus. —H. L. Butter, Dean of the School of Fine Arts.

A varied career is that possessed by E. C. Little, present Congressman from the second Kansas district who is recognized as a scholar, diplomat, soldier and statesman. He holds an A. B. M. A., and L. L. B. degree from this University and also had the opportunity to study the S. C. Law of Residence of Lawrence who was Secretary of the Interior in Lincoln's cabinet. He was a Lieutenant Colonel of the 20th Kansas during the Philippine War and for his services in the Philippines was given the Congressional Medal of Honor. Previous to this war he had been a diplomatic agent and general envoy to the government in Egypt where he was deserved for diplomatic service by the Sultan of Turkey with the Grand Cordon of the Modjidiah. Mr. Little resides in Kansas City, Kansas, where he maintains his law office.
After securing a degree in 1875 and taking graduate courses at Cambridge, Mass., and in Germany, Kate Stephens returned to her alma mater where she was co-worked until 1885. She is now the author of several books and also a contributor to the Atlantic Monthly, the Forum, and other literary magazines. Miss Stephens is a niece of the late Ute Jimmy, man of the School of Law since its inception him has recent death.
Mental Lapses
Three times I started for the Lib
Three times I met a friend
Who was going down town
Three times I hesitated
Three times I went down town
Three times I surrendered myself
I married them
I reached the Lib
And finally got the book
And I waded through a desert
And was just coming to an oasis
Of interesting reading
When the librarian came over
And told me
That I had the book
For more than an hour
And it was on demand
And she took the book away
Then it stopped raining
And I haven't finished that readin
Y. Passem is my teacher; I shall not pass
He maketh me to plot curves,
He calleth on me to recite when I am talking;
are maketh me to take prelimits for my crades' sake.
And exposeth mine ignorance before the whole class.
Yea, though I study till Doomday,
I earn no exemption, for Calculus is
above me.

Heaven itself in ripened June.
But what rapture can exceed
this great privilege of that song-
A few years ago when some of the most alert thinkers in the advertising field begin to urge the art that advertisers should take more care, they were laughed at and were regarded as just plain crazy. If there are any such left who hold to that outworn notion they would have had their notion of holes, at odds with our meeting.

Here's to Herbert Flint, and his advertising department of the School of Journalism of the University of Kansas. We wish you success, and are willing to help you in every way in our power. K., C. Ad Club News.
It was astounding and amazing to some of us who have not been privileged to keep in touch with work of this kind to see the grasp of fundamentals which these students have on the big problem of advertising, and selling. We can't help but feel that the kinsest thing that any young man is when he is asked to go about learning advertising, to refer them to its Advertising Department at the University of Kansas.

Following the example of the press agents, critics, and theatrical writers in New York who are wearing blue overalls in order to defeat the high cost of living, the students of the high school of New York were nounced that their junior prom garb is "strictly overalls for girls and men."—The Michigan日报.
A movement has been instituted at Manhattan to get 1,200 freshmen to come to K. S. A. C. next year. This would be an increase of thirty-three per cent over this year's freshman population. Each student would sign a pledge to do his share of personal work toward attaining the goal set.
