K. U., ART, AND ARTISTS
After numerous successes by artists of the University of Kansas, it must be conceded that there is a subtle something about the half-century-old institution on Mount Oread that deserves recognition—that grips these men and holds them here when better financial inducements tempt them to go elsewhere.
Julian Street recognized this rare fascination when, in an article in Collier's several years ago, he called Lawrence the Boston of the West. He stayed less than a day at the University of Kansas and left fascinated with the institution.
He found here a classical museum, a library, and a School of Fine Arts that in all their features, with the possible exception of size, met the standards of Boston. He found also that atmosphere which fascinates and inspires the poet, the composer, and other artists.
Be that fascination what it may, it has given the University the poets, Wattles and Carruth. Under its spell Arthur Nevin listened to his muse, and was about bringing the whole state into the muse's shrine when Uncle Sam called him to take charge of the music in a northern training camp.
The same fascination has overbalanced in the case of Professors Skilton and Preyer, the advantages of more lucrative calls from the East and from the Far West. Both of these men are composers of national fame, and the Alpha of appreciation is expressed in recognition of this subtle something that has held them to K. U. when such orchestra leaders as Emil Oberhoffer of the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra places on his program as a soloist to play his own compositions our own Professor Preyer.
HINDENBURGING THE LILACS
The time has come for a brotherhood movement of the University community, for a great, communal, co-operative effort, almost holy in its thoroughness and sweeping effectiveness. The time has come for it and only by co-operative effort can we accomplish this new work that is ready to our hands. We have finished our bit in the third Liberty Loan, gone over the top, as it were, gloriously and now is the time to join in one great, all-embracing movement and wipe out the University's illac hedge. We can do it. Truly we can do it. But we must cooperate to do it with thorough artistry. Sporadic efforts a dozen times a day by small groups will not accomplish it. At best they only make the iliacs look ragged and shabby. We must get together in a great co-operative spirit to destroy the hedge entirely. Some few score of us are
doing valiant Iron Cross work on the hedge. The man who came in a Ford and attacked it one day last week made great gaps in the branches. The ladies who make repeated raids against it deserve honorable mention for their work. But they alone cannot do it all, although they are striving nobly. The rest of us iliac slackers must join them. We must get together, everybody; and help them in their efforts to Hindenburg the beautiful illiac hedge on the east edge of the campus.
According to the Kansas City Star, Sir Eric Geddes, in announcing the British raid on the German U-boat bases, told Parliament that "five of these cruisers, filled with concrete, were used as block ships and after being run around were, in accordance with orders, blown up and abandoned by the crews." It was a mere oversight on Sir Eric's part, no doubt, that the men were compelled to wait till the ships were bwn up before they were allowed to abandon them.
OUR ENEMY, SUNDAY DINNER
These days of food conservation and Hooverization have seemingly done nothing to abolish the Sunday surfeit. Practically every student sits down each Sunday before a table crowded with rich food and gorges himself until he reaches a state of torpor, then spends the rest of the afternoon weighted with a feeling of utter uselessness. The effects of the gluttonish repaint survive till next day—bence, "Blue Monday."
Aside from the unwholesome effects of such a meal, the food wasted on Sunday is a factor not to be lost sight of, particularly in such a time as this. This is a matter in which every boarding house, club, and fraternity is concerned. A change from the weekly routine of food is of course expected on Sunday, and it may be given by preparing a different sort of food than is usually served, instead of the customary over-abundance.
WOMEN AND THE WAR
IT'S FASHINOABLE TO BE SHABBY
IT'S FASHIONABLE
"It is considered bad form in England today for women to appear in a new costume," said Prof. Stoughton Holborn, of Oxford University, speaking recently in Washington. Women of the upper classes are wearing again this season the suits purchased in 1913 before the war. All Parisiennes are wearing slippers and low-cut shoes to aid in economizing in leather.
A School of Massage in Toronto, under government supervision, opened as a war measure to meet the demands arising through the present war, offers a new opportunity for war work for women. The school offers a six-months' course of training in many branches of physical therapy, free with $25 a month pay. After finishing the course, graduates work in Canadian hospitals at $55 a month.
One of the greatest needs of the war is women workers for the industries necessary to maintain the army. Women munitions workers are easy to find, probably because of the high wages paid, but few women can be found to work in factories which produce cloth, uniforms, canned goods, and so forth.
The government is still calling for stenographers and typewriters, and women especially are urged to undertake this office work. Examinations are held every Tuesday and applications may be filed with the Civil Service Commission at Washington at any time.
One hundred and fifty French orphans have been adopted by clerks in two of the government departments in Washington. One of these children is being cared for by the charwomen of the Agricultural Department. Statistics show that 60,000 people in the United States are now in personal contact with as many French children and their families.

The drives over the University campus are in urgent need of repair. At each crossing there is a jump and a bump every time that a car passes. In several places there are holes in the road that could easily be repaired. Possibly these in charge of the grounds do not possess a car.
CAMPUS OPINION
Many of the people of Lawrence stay clear of the University campus because of its bad crossings. Compare the rough, bumpy drives of the University campus with those of Haskell Institute.

IN MEMORIAM TO THE ASTUTE
(Expurgated)
KANSAN PRIZE POD CONTENT
Every One Deserves Something
Millions of men and boys are no more Before the relentless drive of war. Their wills and minds and bodies still tremble in desperation But somewhere the mothers' hearts
THE WAR MOTHERS
Over and over again their minds repeat
And memories of their boys, nee'r forsaking.
Emma Dill Geselbracht
When and how and where shall we ever meet?
Ah! the deep, deep thots of those mothers of today
But somewhere the mothers' hearts are breaking
As they think of their sons so far away.
On the ache of it! Oh the pain of it!
As millions of mothers patiently work
and knit.
Thru the long nights and the busy days
Come the thots of his little prattling ways,
In those days of hearth and sunny door.
When he only played soldier and war,
Many the mothers' visions for her
What he might be when a man full-
grown!
He was always her hope, her pride
her iov.
No matter how big or old—her boy!
Ah! that first day he lisped his
baby.
And with totering steps to her knee he came.
Oh the ache of it! Oh the pain of it! As millions of mothers patiently work and knit.
From the child's infancy on day by day
Millions of mothers are left behind Who'll never forget or heart-ease find.
They'll recollect and recall,—but little say
And when consciousness hurls the bitter gall.
At night will come dreams so clear
Their own boy's voice again they'll hear.
That somewhere, somewhere, greed made him fall.
Her lips will utter an agonizing prayer,
The heart, it's wound to patiently bear.
And the living shall seek the tales of the brave
The dead shall be honored by song and art
Oh the ache of !'! Oh the pain of it!
Oh the mother of mother patiently work
and knits.
As the years pass, and peace returns to the heart.
"It is important, dad, not to wear baggy trousers."
Will sorrow and honor, forget per-
perhs, with busy lives.
days sweep by and time surges on,
the garment of the past, her soul
will don.
Who died where stern duty the way did pave.
Fathers, brothers, sisters, children and wives
There is a yearning to which nothing can give rest.
But deep down in the mother's aching breast
.
"Why is it that you have to spend so much time in creasing your pants, hey?" shouted pater familias.
"I import them?  Oh, it is, is it? Did you ever see a statue to a famous man who didn't wear baggy pants?"—Puck.
Oh the ache of it! Oh the pain of it! As millions of mothers patiently work and knit.
