FEBRUARY 22.1832
FRIDAY, FEB. 20, 1920
The greatest tribute that can be given to the memory of a man is to have the date of his birth celebrated as a national holiday. But two Americans have attained such high places in the hearts of their fellow citizens, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are deserving of all the praise their country can bestow.
The true Americans of all ages will have the exemplary life of Washington held up to them for respect and
otion. His forgetfulness of self his utter disgard for hardship and his faithful performance of duty in the face of fearful difficulties makes him a fitting model for the young men of today.
The spirit of true service to country and fellowmen so wonderfully exemplified by the life of the Father of His Country still lives, despite the long insep of time since the Farewell Address. The elevation of devotion to native land to a value higher than life itself, so many times heroically demonstrated in the recent world herecaut, is a reaccompanyation of the spirit of Washington's sacrifices at Valley Forge.
WHAT IS A PROFESSOR?
All University professors and instructors live in Lawrence. This places their live residence in Lawrence. From experience of the past, it is apparent that they are among the best citizens, and the hardest workers along lines of civic improvement.
More than half of the faculty own property in Lawrence. Their children attend Lawrence schools. When faculty members move to Lawrence, they join in with social and religious activities as real citizens. Their money is spent almost altogether in the town, and they are as much to be regarded as real citizen of the city, as is any physician, dentist, lawyer or other professional man.
Why, then, should local merchants, publishers and others seem to be obessed by the idea that University people form a class apart—to be considered from a distance, as fearsome individuals without civic interest? That the faculty members are not loyal to Lawrence and that the "gown" marks a separate class differing from that of the "town."

FLU BUG'LL GET YOU
A number of organizations in the University seem to think that the influenza ban does not apply to their
ban does not apply to them. Such an attitude is narrow minded and a detriment to the members of the organization and the general health of the University students. The influenza ban was put on for the benefit of the students and the holding of
public meetings in violation of the can can hardly be said to be co-oper ating with the health authorities in their efforts to check the dreaded disease.
One of the organizations which has violated the ban is the Dramatic Club. The tryout Wednesday afternoon was attended by about two hundred people. The Little Theatre was crowded to capacity and not even a window was raised as a precaution against the spread of the flu. If it is permissible for such organizations as the Dramatic Club to hold meetings, the influenza ban is failing in its purpose and the ban on other activities should be lifted.
ABOUT FORTY
With the appointment this week of the alumni members of the Loyalty Campaign and Million Dollar Drive Executive Committee, concrete action should soon take the place of the abstract report which has been the dominant factor of the campaign so far. With all the students working in harmony with the committee the campaign should soon take some definite form.
In order to assure success to the undertaking, the committee should pay the most attention to the alumni, and especially those of middle age who have sons and daughters in the University at the present time. A recent article in the Portland Oregonian points out that in the subscription campaign for the Harvard Endowment Fund those of the alumni who were most liberal were the men between the ages of forty and forty-five. It goes on to say:
"It is a fair guess that men at this age show best interest in their alma mater because at about that time they have sons and daughters of their own in college. College-bred parents, as other statisticians have shown, constitute the greatest single moral influence in support of higher education. A good many men to whom the opportunity has been denied resolve that their sons shall not be similarly handicapped, but the proportion of others who, having finished college, afterward send their sons there is almost 100 per cent. Not always, but often, the alma mater of the father is chosen for the son; but the benefits of higher training are seldom denied by those who have received it."
What is true of the alumi of Harvard will no doubt prove true of the alumi of the University of Kansas. And since a large part of the fund must be raised from the alumi the committee will do well to bear in mind the results shown in the campaign conducted at the eastern institution.
FOR SERVICE RENDERED
A $50 bonus for ex-service men for each month of war service, is the proposition presented by a committee of the American Legion, now in conference with congressmen at Washington.
Eight states so far have voted a bonus in some form or other for the benefit of the men who gave up their civic occupations to serve their country. In California an appropriation of $1,000,000 was voted for the purchase of land for discharged men. Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont each voted $100; Minnesota, $200 for a college tuition, or $15 for each month served; Oregon, $25 for each month and $200 for educational expenses. Wisconsin, $10 for each month, with a minimum of $50.
Several states, including Kansas, have bills under consideration, but so far nothing definite has been done. The ex-service men feel that they are due some consideration. Many of them lost valuable time and money while in the service. A great many college men left school and returning, find that the expense of obtaining a college education was doubled. Their dollar does not as far as it did two years ago.
There are approximately 150 ex-service men in the University of Kansan, and the action of Congress, and especially of the State Legislature of Kansas, will be watched with interest by them, many of whom are in need of such financial aid as a bonus would provide.
The annual woman's Yale-Princeton basketball game will be played this year at Oberlin, Ohio.

DID HIS "GRINDING" AFTER GRADUATION
News of Alumni and Former Students
"Do not let your studies interfere with your regular school work." There have been many adherents to the philosophy implied in this commandment but none more faithful than James C Kelsey of the class of '85.
His academic devotions were three:
to baseball, dancing, and Professor
Newson. The girls of his day would
certainly have mentioned his dancing
first. He always asked the one and
only girl to go to the dance, then if she refused he turned to a small group of favored waiting ones. There were
two girls who were attending an escort until having asked Miss Anna Edwards with whom she was going. (Miss Edwards and Mr. Kelsey were married in 1890.)
Those were the good old times when baseball was in its glory, and football had not yet unerupted the interest of the young fans. He tried to win "jim" Kelsey from his allegiance to the catcher's mask, and when he failed suggested that fear of the roughger game deterred him. Mr. Kelsey replied that anyone who caught the speedy curves of Gear and Braces would be pardoned. "Grandstand Jim Kelsey" was the student's idol and had also a large following among the small boys, who all dreaded of growing up to catch K. U. One of them acquired merit for a whole season because he played well in the bat for a series of out-town games. For the most part Mr. Kelsey absorbed information in some form other than the usual painstaking way, but with Professor Nehew he did his class
twenty years ago college graduates were not eagerly sought after in the factorial world and Mr. Kelley had met his friend, who helped himself in his chosen profession.
In 1899 his marriage to Miss Anna Edwards, '96, made him the happiest general superintendent of Bell tele phones in Duluth. From 1902 to 1905 he taught at Purdue, and acted frequently as expert witness and was a member of the jury of awards at the University. He served for 34 years following he was sales manager of the Kellogg Switch-board Supply Company. He and the thirty-nine men under him sold $25,000,000 worth of goods all over the earth.
He is now part owner, vice-president and financial editor of the Telephony, the organ of the telephone system,outing three thousand words a week.
Mr. Kelsey is a director of a telephone manufacturing company, and of a national bank in Chicago—and trustee of the Rogers Park Congregational Church. He catches the annual ball game at the church picnic and has discarded the two-step for the foxtrot.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelsey have two child dren, James—known as "Jimson"—and Elizabeth.

Mental Lapses
Bacon—"When a thing is breaded what do you call it?"
"Well, when meat is breaded I'd say it was a sandwich."—London Statesman.
Egbert—"What sort of a thing?" "Meat, for instance."
Everybody knows that when a ship is launched it is customary to break a bottle of wine on the prow. But when a presidential boom is launched some body immediately picks up a sledge hammer... New Orleans States.
Jones (gloomily)—"No; what's the use?"—Baltimore American.
Smith—"Aren't you afraid of getting the influenza?"
"I found out before ten minutes had passed," said the wise widow, "He is married."
"I tried my best to find out if that new man was married and I don't know yet," said the spinster lady at the boarding house.
Lawyer (examining prospective juror in criminal case)—"Mr. Juror, have you any fixed opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused?" Juror (emphatically)—"Naw, I can't get no doubt but the guy's guilty, but they ain't nobody fixed me."—Cleveland Leader.
"How did you know?"
"Is it true you are going to marry again?"
"He listened to everybody who started to talk without once interrupting"—Chicago News.
but your still in mourning?" "I know, but then Harry's the black heep of his family."-Life.
"Yes, dear."
Mayor Rolph of San Francisco was
TOOK EXPERIENCE
questioning the wisdom of a too strict prohibition.
"I believe," he said, "that the tendency of the times is expressed by a conversation I overheard between two brothers in town seeing the sights. Said one:
" I reckon these here city folks are going to have a hard time when all the booze is gone."
"Yep," agreed the other, "for it takes years to learn which medicines have got the most kick."—Los Angeles Times.
Flatbush--You know music has a wonderful influence over us.
YOU BET HE HAD
"Did you ever feel the power of a singer over you?"
"How will you have your hair cut, sir?" said the talkative barber to the victim in the chair.
"Minus conversational prolixity," replied the patient.
"Oh, yes, often. I married one you know."—Yonkers Statesman.
"How's that, sir?"
A QUIEC HOUR
"With abbreviated or totally eliminated narrations," answered the other "What?"
The barber scratched his head thoughtfully a second and then went over to the propfactor of the shop and whispered:
"Without efferentes verbosity," was the reply. "Let even diminutive colloquy be conspicuous by its absence."
"I don't know whether the man in my chair is mad or a foreigner, but I can't find out what he wants."
Grinnell's administrator was asked to explain why the city firemen of Grinnell were allowed to hold a dance in the college gym, it was explained that the court of courtesy in return for the protection to the college by the fire fighters.
The victim had to explain that he wanted the job done in silence.—Chicago, News.
On Other Hills
Grinnell students caught themselves ushing the season. Pienes had been lamed and the next day the thermer registered six below zero.
Missouri Valley officials have disproved the idea of athletic contests mong freshman teams of the Missouri 'alley conference.
Grinnell claims the first bell ever rung in the tower of a college west of the Mississippi river. The bell will be shipped to the college treasures.
Sympathy lies with University of
colorado students. The influenza ban
was still on when a holiday was sched-
led for Feb. 12.
Baker and William Jewell have been matched for the track meet events to be held in Convention Hall, Kansas city next month.
The editorial staff of The Silver and Gold, the semi-weekly publication of the University of Colorado, has been putting out a paper in spite of classes not being in session. The climax came in January for deprived for duty. A front page story said "God only knows where the reporters are." The editor seldom does."
Thirty-one women students of Northwestern University have been made members of the Evanston III.赦 Cross life saving corps. Membership
vas attained only after severe dents in swimming and life saving work.
Silver and Gold comment on Dana Kanka headline "Enrolment begins without usual jam." Somewhere they are cunningly calming out the preserves, anyway.
Twenty-one members of a class in money and banking from the University of Nebraska have been selected to participate in people in calculating their income tax.
Trustees of McPherson College have turned down a students request for a allowing football. Too much expense was the reason given by the officials.
February 12 was the sixty-second anniversary of Baker University. No official observance was made of the day. Yes it was the flu again.
Baker students evidently are a studious lot. Each edition of the Baker Orange recently tells of a praver being interrupted in his unlawful tactics by a student, who happened to be up late studying.
Several buildings were utilized to care for the crowd that attended an all-University party Valentine night at the University of Nebraska.
We give up. What's your guess? This one from the University of Arizona Wildcat. "At a meeting of the freshman a motion was passed through without much discussion, by which the class voted to take off their beanies!"
Our mutual enemy, h. c. of l. evidently passed up Kansas City, Kan
sas. The high school Pantograph is authority for the statement that the average cost of a meal at the school's cafeteria is only fifteen cents and that meat orders have advanced only two cents over last year.
General Pershing visited the University of Arizona recently and assisted in the dedication of a memorial fountain.
The women students enrolled in the school of engineering architecture at the University of Colorado have formed an organization of women engineers.

Two years' work in the school of engineering is required for admission to the organization.
