MILITARY TRAINING NECESSITY TO NATION
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 20, 1920.
Should be no Division or Author as in Cadet Corps, Says Burdick
Local A. E. F. Head and Legior Commander Favor Dis-
cipline
Ex-Soldiers Approve I
"Military training at some time should be a part of every man's program," says Captain H. L. Burdick, the R. O. T. C, at the University. "However, I would not favor compulsory military training at the University. The one thing which is essential in any form of military instruction is discipline, and to have this skill in place requires authority as there is bound to be when military training is taken as a side issue.
"The R, O, T, C, is for the purpose of training officers and therefore should not be compulsory. Many people have the idea that military service takes away a man's initiative. They are wrong. When a man is standing guard, he is Monarch of all his surveys and is backed by the highest authority in the army. The man who supervises a camp is always the same man who chafes under the discipline of his employer when he gets into business.
“Aside from the benefit of military training to the individual, it is part of the obligation which every man owes to his country. ‘Militons for defense, but nothing for war,’ is a good motto, and we should make other matters as well we are not looking for trouble and we always be able to hold our own.”
The R. O, T. C. summer camps last-
ing four months offer a chance for a
young man to get good military训
ing. After finishing his course in the
R. O, T. C. he can go into the reserve
and dat the same time keep in touch
with the new ideas and changes from
time to time.
"Military training is a good thing and every man should have it," says Bill Studor, President of the A. E. F club at the University. "The A. E. F club and it cadet corps like they have at some schools might be a good thing."
"Perhaps military training would take the hump out of the backs of some of the men who walk as though they were on a hill." Saya Mahan Weed, commander of the local post of the American Legion. "At least it would help a great deal, and military training not only helps to improve the way he looks at it in the right way."
Henry McCurdy, 1873h Infanty,
35th Division say, "Every man should have military training and there is reason to believe that he will be while he is going to school. A system whereby every man should have to take military training in his freshman and sophomore years would be worthwhile." (The only one both physically and mentally.)
STATE ENTOMOLOGIST GETS FOREIGN SEEDS
Federal Law Requires Inspection of Imported Seeds
Seeds
"Obtaining permits for entrance of nursery stock, plants and seeds from foreign countries, in addition to our State service work, and teaching, is keeping the department very busy," State Entomologist, this morning.
A federal law requires that a permit be obtained, before nursery stock, or seeds are allowed to enter the United States, from foreign countries. Professor Hunter has to obtain the permits for state seed dealers and is also responsible for the inspection of the stock when it arrives in the state.
The immediate purpose of this law, according to Prof. Hunter, is to prevent the entrance of foreign diseases, and insects with the stocks, while the United States can produce of seeds and nursery stock. "Congress is now considering an appropriation of $1,000,000 to be used for investigation on the question as to whether the United States can produce her own seeds, and thus be independent in procuring seeds," Hunter. "At present, however, we are receiving many seeds from abroad. I have just obtained a permit for the entrance of four casks
not for the entrance of fool cask of apple seeds for propagation."
A student on the Hill said, "Romance is all right but I don't believe it is right to major in romance."
Chicle Masticators Hailed Into Court
ALL HAIL! You Champion Gum chewers! We've got you down in black on white at last, and have complied statistics about your favorite habit: chewing gum. They've also mentioned wads, and whether they are Black Jack, Spearmint, Yucan, or Jauce or California Fruit. O, no, charging chargers, we're on your trail!
Listen, you guilty victims! Beware of the recitation rooms on the third floor of Fraser hereafter. Take heed, you students of Español and Francais, you students of English before entering, and beginning your dialogue with the instructor. And also you would be biologists and frog-cuters, take care that you no longer are might try to cover the bottoms of tables with aftenedon material.
Happily for them, the law studies are not included among the worst of these chaup plasterers. They have a
more powerful substitute which they use with even greater profusion, and which enables them to do without the need for a second piece. HorseSuckers, Star, Masterpiece, HorseSuckers, Star, Masterpiece, and Piper Holdack are their stansby. Lucky for it is that the laws of nature make it hard for man to spit on the bottoms of seats and writing boards. A ted rid of it be fore entering class, or otherwise must "swallow and endure."
Lucky also are the economics majors who live in a new locality where the chairs are new and compartmentalized, they are fast proceeding to plaster them with their vile stuff. The math educators in the east wing of Ad have their abode liberally sprinkled with the good old California Fruit, raisins and oranges by the time "Leffy" had called on them to demonstrate a problem on the blackboard. But then it's no use talking, you are all there—one can find on the bottoms of its wicker seats a complete history of the University written in
Must gum needs be the only material substance that most K. U. students leave behind them when they leave their Alma Mater; the only canteen where students are to have been here at all? We venture to say that two-thirds of the seats in old Chapel have at least one masticated wad on their floor. The other half is not so merciful students as he resists to sing the "Crimson and the Blue."

K. U. Foreigners Not all Aliens
The article in Thursday's Kansas

born students of the University,

of fact, were born under the American
flag, and others have been naturalized,
and are now bonafide citizens.

If modern merchants choose to laugh up their sleeves at the present day rage for "fashion first" they might take notice of George Washington's idea on the subject of dress. "Whatever goods you may send me," the London agent, "let them be fashionable, neat, and of their several kinds."
"Memorandum to have my Coot made by the following Directions; to be made a Freck with a Lapel Breast the Lapel to Contain on each side six Button Holes and to be about five or six Inches wide all the way equal and no more than three inches does; to have it made very long Waistband and in length come down to or below the bent of the knee. The Waist from the armpit to the knee to be exactly or longer than from thence to the bottom, not to have more than one fold in the Skirt and the top to be made just to turn in from the bottom at the top to turn as the Cape or the Coat and Bottom to Come Par
When he was about sixteen years old he wrote in his journal;
A marked trait of Washington's character was his particular about his clothes; there can be little question that he was early in life rather of a dandy, and that this liking for fine feathers never quite left him.
alley with the Button Holes, the has Button hole in the Breast to be right opposite to the Button on the Hip.
It must not be inferred, however, that Washington carried his dandelion when. Wine clothes were worn. When fine clothes were worn, the dress was carded. In his trip to Ohio in 1763 he states that "I put myelf in an Indian walking Dress," and "tied myself up states that "I put myself in an Indian blanket. In the campaign of 1758 he wrote to his superior officer "that were I left to pursue my own inclination, I would not only order the Men that the Indian dress but caused the Officer to take over the first to set the example myself. Nothing but the uncertainty of its taking with the General causes me to hesitate a moment at leaving my Regimenta at this place, and proceeding as light as any Indian in the Woods. It is an umbrella dress, I confess, for an officer, but conveniently less expensive to be consulted." And this was such good sense that the general gave him leave and I: was done.

of your taste. I want neither lace nor
embroidery. Plain clothes, with
gold or silver button (if worn in
teel dress) are all I desire."
Dean Kelly will be one of three speakers on "New Materials of Instruction." He is also a member the following organizations: Directorship in Research, Education in University, and College Teachers of Education.
"Do not conceive, he twined his nephew in 1788, "that fine clothes make fine men more than fine feathers make fine Birds. A plain genteel dress is more admirable, and obtain more credit for it. In the eyes of Eyes of the judicious and audacious."
About his person Washington was as neat as he desired his clothes to be. Wherever he happened to be, the handcourt was in constant demand. He kept his clothes wet, week succeeding his inauguration as President, and before his domestic menage was in running order, was for "o ruffled shirts, 2 plain shirts, 8 stocks, 3 pair Shir Hose, 2 White gloves, 1 pair Pr. flan. Drawers, 1 Hair Net."

London, Feb. 20 — A wireless dispatch from Moscow today claimed the Robshiell have captured Archangeh and archangeh garrison has joined the Reds.
