The fully Karson aims to picture the undergraduate life or university more than merely print the news by standing for the ideas the University presents. He is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to solve problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

Have you a little SALVAGE BASKET in your home?
THE GREAT JOKE
Unquestionably the most beautiful girl in the University of Kansas was not in the recent contest at all. Furthermore several queens, who by nature's own endowment were entitled to sit with the one hypothetical superlative did not venture near the throne room.
But beauties have been given ballots. As as such were a tribute! As if such were either flattery or sincerity! As if any one of the rivals thought of personal charm to win or of anything in particular to be won!
Or Orread, hill of hills, where is your sense of humor? You have been as serious as citizens of a city at municipal primary when the chief issue is between blondes and brunettes in a race for mayorality. You have invoked all the powers of political machinery of wily Greek and sudorous Trojan. You have bridged Helleps ponds and dragged wooden horses,—all for the sake of Helen. Not one Helen only have you raised to exaltation but seven others with her. And your Helens did not care.
The engineers get their feet wet at the Hellespont. That bridge to victory couldn't hold back a tidal wave. The jockeys who horsed around made so many false starts that they were winded in the first heat. To explain the classic allegory, the sororites which sought to get an emblazoned page in the Jayhawker as a fundamental proposition for next year's rushing worked so feverish toward no real end, no pertinent objective so far as the immediate purpose of the so-called beauty contest goes—those frantic sororities wore themselves out on nothing for nothing.
The beauty contest is an annual joke, a profitable joke. It sells the best student year-book in the country. Any other assigned purpose is quite superfluous. There is the biggest reason yet for this. The most beautiful girl in the University of Kansas is not a Heilen; she knows no Greek. She is undoubtedly a Barbarian. And that settles the whole matter.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
He had a car. The two couples were trying to get to a party on time and it was already late. He asked them to ride with him to the party. He was in a hurry to get home, but he was considerate enough to think about the two couples of people whom he had never seen before. They appreciated it although it was a little thing.
No amount is Too small—THRIFT CARDS care for ALL! Buy War-Savings Stamps!
POET'S CORNER
There were two brothers, John and James.
THE TWINS
And when the town went up in flames,
To save the house of James dashed
Then turned, and Lo! his own was gone.
And when the great world war be-
To volunteer John promptly ran; And while he learned live bamboo to
James stayed at home—and sneaked his job.
John came home with a missing limb;
That didnt seem to worry'y him;
But Oh, it set his brain awhirl!
To find that James had sneaked his
To find that James had sneaked his girl!
Time passed. John tried his grief to
drown.
Today James owns one-half the town.
His army contracts riches yield;
And John: search the Potter's field.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
(From "The Rhymes of a Red Cross Man.")
Vassar is now added to the list of women's colleges which will send a reconstructed unit to France. A Smith unit is already abroad and Wellesley's will probably be there sometime in the spring.
Nearly one thousand Dartmouth men, undergraduates and alumni, are now in the military service of their country. Six of them have already given their lives for the allied cause. As is entirely natural, the class of 1917 is the best represented on the college's roll of honor. It has 112 members in active service.
The "Housewives' Consulting League" has recently been organized by the home economics department of the University of Washington for the benefit of the women of that city. Hoover recipes and governmental regulations are the things that the league is particularly desirous that the women should know.
France Needs Our Clocks
Bordeaux, France.—France wants American-made alarm clocks. A Bordeaux business house has just closed a deal with a large manufacturing establishment in the United States for a trial order of alarm clocks, the total purchase amounting to 250,000 francs (848,250 at normal exchange). This order was placed through the American vice-consul at Bordeaux and is the first of its kind from the vicinity where trade has long been monopolized by manufacturers of other nationalities.
Students leaving the University of Illinois in the middle of the semester, or farm work, will be permitted to take examinations for half credit. The approval for withdrawal must be secured from the dean of the college and the dean of men.
RedCrossNews
We sometimes feel that since there is not a continuous drive that we may relax occasionally. There is a constant demand for comfort kits; not nearly enough are being sent in.
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
Did it ever occur to you that the man who bought the most liberally of Liberty Bonds asked the least questions, and was the least worried about their safety?
Socks are still needed in large quantities. The men in the navy and in aviation will need warm garments all during the summer months. The needs of our men in the service abroad must be filled. Sweaters, helmets, mufflers and wristlets are needed in equal quantities but socks are needed worst.
That the men and women who are giving the most in time and money, and sacrificing the most, are the ones who hit pro-German propaganda in the head? Classify and report for surgical dressings. Classify and buy war savings stamps.
That the woman who is doing the most knitting paid the least attention to the silly stories about how they were sold for two prices?
That the men who are enlisting are not doubting the sincerity of the al-
