Have you a little SALVAGE BASK KET in your home?
ROWDYISM
One of the most disgusting things in the world is the practice of "rowdyism"-interfering with the peace of other people, and seeking to find pleasure in the destruction of property!
It is with just such an example of rowdyism that one fraternity house was made the victim Friday night, when a band of unknown raiders ramsacked the entire first floor of the fraternity's home, overturning chairs and tables, strewing books upon the floor and otherwise reducing the condition of the rooms to chaos, to say nothing of the discomfort and inconvenience caused the members of that fraternity. Although the action of these vandals have taken place at only one fraternity house so far, two others have been notified by the posting of a printed black-hand threat upon their doors.
This childish "horse play" would seem foolish even if there were occasion for a revenging spirit upon the indicted fraternities. It is sheer puerility when these "Halloween" crusaders are totally lacking in purpose. Whoever the guilty parties are, they should restrain their actions from any further practice by remembering that circumstances of this kind reflect upon University men as still being in the "sandpile" age—not only here in Lawrence but all over the state. It is just such things that hurt the University, block the passage of the Permanent Income Bill, and otherwise prevent all measures that would work toward the benefit of K. U.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
It was the day of the play. Suddenly he remembered that he had no "date" for that show. Naturally when he called up there was small chance for him to get somebody to go with him. It was a trifle but if he had called on time it would not have taken any longer to find out if she would go. It was carelessness in a little thing but it counted with her.

BATTLE OF BRAINS
Kansas lost. The Supreme Court was upheld. Colorado also was sustained. But something more than words were exchanged in the debate last Friday night; ideas clashed and ideas for their own worth found in the expression of themselves their respective values. Kansas learned something and Colorado learned
something. That is, the debaters did, and those who had the sufficiency of sense to go listen to them did.
Anthologies of elegic verse from the dawn of time to the sunrise simply could not be neglected. Neither could the tremendous tale of how the universe was made in retrospect by most approved scientific methods. Not for an hour, not for a momentary consideration of what the world might be doing in that hour. Relaxation would have been a different matter, however.
If only it had been a battle of brawn. If only there could have been some wild cheering. If only one could shout to a debater to make three bags even if he had to spike the way round, or go through guard even if over the deflated body of his opponent. That does not require thinking. And it is much more exciting. After all, it is too hard to think; it is hard enough to do the prescribed thinking necessary to the acquisition of liberal culture, or rather a degree that says one possesses liberal culture.
One of these days the Supreme Court and Congress will have it out. A significant issue will have $a$ significant decision binding upon a whole nation. Some people will know how to think when that time comes. And a great many will not. It all depends.
Your old tire will help save a life over-there.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT He was the sort of fellow who offered to pay for the drinks after the other fellow had given the money to the cashier. It may have been forgetfulness but it did not look like it. It was a little thing but it counted, and left an impression with the other fellows that was not forgotten in a hurry.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will not then be used unless you explicitly authorize the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of communication. Communications are welcome.
To Readers of the Kansan:
It's too much trouble to bring up your cold cream bottles for the salvage box. It's too much trouble to go to surgical dressings classes, and make bandages for the wounded men in France. You might have to go a bit out of your way—oh, the salvage room is right there, where you pass by it every day, and the surgical dressing room is in the most central place or the Hill but then it might be a step or so out of your way, and we would not have you go out of your way for anything in the world.
Doubtless the captain is speaking just that way to his men "over there" asking them to go to drill. if they don't mind, and it isn't too much trouble. Doubtless they never do anything that's any bother to them at all and unless a German comes up and plants himself in the way, so that it would be a bother to walk around him, of course they never fire.
Possibly you haven't time to make surgical dressings—it can't be that you don't care. But what—what under the shining Heavens should we take time to do right now, if it is not to win the war.

Ottawa University also joined the ranks of six days a week school for every alternate week. This closes the school year on May 17th instead of June 1st.
The new member of the department of French was on his way to breakfast at the University Club. And he walked right by the little lane—it really was an alley—that leads between two ancient frat houses on Tennessee Street. No wonder he walked by. He missed a landmark.
Guide Blown Away Prof. Almost Starved
that famous little jockey who still stands as a relic of coaching days with hand extended to take the bridle of a prancing Phil Delta nag while sorrowful and sad, sidewalk, that patient jockey was gone. The wind had blown him away.
But M. le professor did not wander far. Looking over his shoulder he espied his guide prostrate but bravely pointing the way to food and rest and entertainment. "Le pauvre garcon," murmured the kind-hearted new prf. And straightway after he had eaten he saw to it that the silent sentinel of the University Club was reinstated at his post.
A large 85-foot flag pole was raised recently by the University of Texas.
The University of Oklahoma is sending copies of its daily to the American Union in Paris.
In accordance with a decision of the student council, seniors at Cornell will not wear the accustomed cap and gown at commencement this year.
Because of the theft of coats and hats that have been left in the library by students, the University of Michigan has installed a new locking check room device in the library at that university.
The University of Illinois recently unfurled its service flag. The flag raising was a military ceremony. At present the University has 2686 men in the service and these were all represented on the flag, which was hung from two poles—DePauw Daily.
At a "frugality dance" in Montclair, N. J., recently, those wearing patent leather shoes, silk stockings or high collars were fined five-cents each for each offense, those yearing marcel waves, ten cents, while wearers of evening dress or "costumes" had to pay twenty-five cents to the management. A considerable amount was raised for war relief.
To encourage higher scholarship standards at the University of Louisiana, authorities have established a rule requiring that each Greek letter chapter in order to pledge must have an averages of not less than 75 per cent, and that the students to be pledged must have a like average.
Just what were conditions like down in old Louisiana if this ruling is an improvement?

FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
The. Red Cross woman in France has a new duty in the canteens at the line-of-communication. She is going shopping with the American soldier in order to protect him from the sharp tongued French woman, who keeps store while her husband is at war, and who intends to keep the till as full as possible.

News and orders straight from the Red Cross Division Headquarters. "Knit, knit and knit. Don't stop knitting until the war is over. You probably will be asked to knit even after that!" Isn't this matter urgent enough to put the women of the University war again and keep them it? Dana fashion of her has smiled disapproval on knitting bags, knitting bracelets or knitting pockets—just so the knitting be grey or olive drub.

If the earth were covered with flowers all the year around, the bees would get lazy!
EVERYTHING comes to him who waits," may be good enough philosophy for some things, but there is one thing certain—it doesn't apply to business.
If business were up-and-a-hustling all the year around, most merchants would stop advertising, they would cease applying gingery methods to their business in order to get trade,—perhaps, they would become lazy if their path were constantly strewn with flowers?
But it isn't that way! No merchant in Lawrence has more business than he wants. If he did have, he would have the signs taken down from the front of his store so that new customers could not find his establishment. No, those merchants who really want more business, who are trying to sway your purchases to their counters are advertising this very evening in the Daily Kansan. And their efforts merit your patronage.
