UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Entire University Asked To Unite In Campaign For Sale of Baby Bonds
Savings
Faculty and Students to be Pledged to Frugality and
The big "Baby Bond" drive will be on at K.U. within a few days. The University will be expected to do its part in the nation-wide campaign for the disposal of two billion dollars of War Savings Stamps.
"That the University may support the government in this drive," said Prof. G. C. Shand, chairman of the finance committee of the War Council, "we propose that the University as a whole form a War Savings Society, and that members of the society will each invest at the rate of a sum of twenty dollars for a period of last sixteen weeks, and about the equivalent of one War Savings Stamp. Every student, faculty member, and employee should enroll as members of this society. To join one must sign this pledge;
I pledge myself (1) to systematic saving; (2) to refrain from unnecessary expenditures and the purchase of nonessentials in order that labor and material now employed in the production of articles not necessary to my health and efficiency may be released for the production of those articles and supplies which the United States needs for the support of our army and Navy; (3) to my earnest efforts to encourage thrift and economy to enrich our community and to secure other members for this society; and (4) to invest in United States War-Savings Stamps, and Thrift Stamps and to encourage others to do so."
There will be no organization luncheon and no convoitation but the proposition is as serious and as important as any ever undertaken by the institution. The loyalty of the University will, in a measure, be checked by the response, declares Mr. Shaad.

Mice Trapping Contest Develops Keen Rivalry
At the University Club they have be quarreling over apples and cookies, holding family rows in the closet, and chasing one another over beds at night—deplorable state of affairs—trying in the extreme to the delicate nerves of the Economist from New York. The climax came Saturday morning when he found that his treasure chest had been invaded the previous night.
Accordingly he began planning methods of extermination. He wanted something efficient—cheese and a trap! That was the idea. He was so enthusiastic over it that he stayed away from the University party to put it into effect. He set his trap with cheese, and being an Economist, went to bed thinking to rest while waiting for the arrival of the thief or thieves. The suspense was dreadful! Sleep was quite impossible. Suddenly Snake the trap and Squeak! woke the thief. The Economist loved from the床 and reeled the poor suffering we mouse, reeled the trap and got back under the cover. Three times this happened and the next morning the victorious conqueror of the three wee mice missed his breakfast, but appeared at lunch rubbing his eyes but triumphant.
Inspired by his example, the Geologist from Boston, decided to set a trap and try out a new "idear." He didn't use cheese, not he! He used candy. The result was a sleepless night but four mice caught.
The Economist had set his trap again with cheese and caught no mice—but he slept better. He's satisfied even though the score stands four to three but they are both going to try again tonight. The kind of bait to be used is a dark secret, but it is to be neither cheese nor candy.
3-Ring Circus Will Beat Barnum, Bailey
"A 3-ring circus with little left to the imagination in the matter of side shows and ring stunts," is what the W. A. A. is planning to put on at Robinson Gymnasium March 6.
teaching "riding from the detailed reports of the committees, Dorothy Tucker, president of the association, said this morning: "Barnum & Bailey have only the advantage of experience over our performers."
Practically every feature of the real circus will be portrayed in this

burlesque performance, according to the plans of the committees. First there will be a typical circus parade, the kind you used to play hooky to see. A calliope will add to the realism of the parade.

Transformation everywhere in all things
How time makes changes in countries, cities, people and newspapers! The time was when the Daily Kansan was only a small weekly paper, but K. U.'s growth and the paper's sturdy progress now reveals a live-wire daily full of University news.
ALASKA, once the bleak uninviting country of the Northwest now becomes a temptress to summer tourists, its realm of flowers and sunshine and snowcapped peaks proving attractive to the Wanderlust.
