REAL WAR WORK AT LAST!
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1918.
At last University women will be able to do practical and efficient war work on the campus during spare hours, without interrupting their regular class schedule. Surgical dressings work is to be begun, in connection with the Lawrence chapter of the Red Cross.
Room 205, Fraser Hall, has been cleared of class room furniture and fitted up for the purpose. This room will be open four afternoons a week. Women are asked to register for at least two-hour periods.
Much has been said, so far, and little work of actual usefulness done. Perhaps this practical work will help to silence those critics who have felt that war work at the University was not likely to go beyond aesthetically beautiful and rhetorically perfect expressions of patriotic sentiment. Whether justly, or not, Kansas has been called a pacifist state. The University has been called indifferent and selfish. An example, often pointed out lies in the difficulty which was experienced in the raising of our bare quota of the Student's Friendship War Fund for the Y. M. C. A., when other schools, even in our own state were doubling and tripling their quotas.
University "Morale" has been called into question; here is one chance for refutation.
Register for surgical dressings and help that little candle of patriotism in your soul to grow into a full blown are light!
The more energy, time and self sacrifice one bestows upon a cause the dearer it becomes to him. Our cause will be all the dearest to the girl who is giving up one or more aftermorns a week to minimize however slightly the desperate need abroad of surgical dressings for wounded men.
WAR SONGS FOR COLLEGE YELLS
"When two hundred college men gather around the banquet board, one expects to hear the old college songs and the chant of the yells so familiar on such occasions. They were lacking last night at the eleventh annual dinner of the Kansas City Alumni Association of the University of Kansas at the University Club.
"Instead of college songs the diners preferred the popular war songs. The speakers did not dwell on the prowess of former athletes, but told of the self sacrifice and patriotism of the hundreds of K. U. men who have given their services to their country. 'War' was the theme of all the speakers.
"There are now about twenty-five hundred K. U. men in uniform," said Dr. W. L. Burdick, vice-chancellor.
From the Kansas City Star, comes this mention of the commendable
spirit of the Kansas City Alumni Association of the University. The alumni are watching the extent of the University students' war activities.

A Fox had by some means got into the store room of a theater. Suddenly he observed a face glaring down upon him and began to be very frightened; but looking more closely he found it was only a mask, such as actors use to put over their face. "Ah," said the Fox, "you look very fine; it is a pity you have not got any brains."
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
STONE AND MORTAR
Spooner Library, house of books ready-to-be applied store of universal knowledge at K. U., tried to be beautiful. And it almost succeeded. Then came a man with a trowel and a bucket of mortar, and a grim purpose, for he had seen crevices between the stones of the venerable edifice. His purpose was worthy, but his unfinished task forever confutes his original good will.
The most conspicuous as well as the most useful building on the Hill suffers blemish. It looks like some fine old ruin, or it would if a little more ivy could be encouraged to grow over it. Of course consistency would help too. There should have never been no attempt at all to point up cracks if that work were to be abandoned less than half completed. It is the incongruity that jars on the sentitive eye—the glaring indication that there was need for repairs. Otherwise one might have gone in and out of Spooner for a century and never known the need of old stones for new mortar.
MENTAL LAPSES
A lucky man on being asked how it felt to be engaged to a great heiress replied:
"Fine! Every time I kiss her I feel as if I were clipping a coupon off a government bond."—Boston Transcript.

"The reason you don't like Wagnerian music is that you don't understand it."
"That's all of my two objections to it," replied Miss Cayenne. "I don't understand it and I don't like the way it sounds."—Washington Star.

"Yes, mamma," replied the girl,
"but I don't think he will get away."

"No, Fredie, I cannot marry you. The man who weds me must be a grand man—upright and square."
"Yes," rejoined Mrs. Cayenne. "Everybody can tell you that Solomon had numerous wives, but very few can recite any of his wonderful proverbs."—Washington Star.

WAITING FOR THE WORST
"Oh, doctor," said a worried voice,
"something seems to have happened
to my wife. Her mouth seems set
and she can't say a word."
The telephone bell rang with an anxious persistence. The doctor answered.
"Why, she may have lockjaw," said the medical man.
“Do you think so? Well if you are up this way any time next week I wish you would step in and see what you do for her.”—Harpar's Magazine.
"Yes?" he said.
The "Unpopular Club" is the newest organization to the list of Oberlin organizations. A glance at their requirements for membership would seem to indicate that the club is to be very exclusive.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The faculty of Iowa State college has shown on more than one occasion that it wishes to have a share in the general conservation program. The most recent development along this line is the Garden Club Leader's course, running from January 21 to March 1, which was instituted by the Agricultural Extension department.
"If the railroads were required to supply the equipment to move the coal, it would mean a further investment of seventy-five million dollars in equipment for hauling coal," said S. W. Parr, chairman of the national committee for the analysis of fuel, in speaking to the Ames chapter of the American Chemical society, Thursday evening.
The Faculty Wives Red Cross auxiliary, at the University of Washington, working in the home economics building, sent out 2754 gauze surgical dressing pads during the month of January. It expects to double that amount this month.
"Ohio State men are doing more government work with poisonous fumes and gas masks than any other institution in the country," declared President Thompson, in telling about "Ohio State in Wartime" at the fifth annual Methodist student banquet at Columbus, Ohio.
2,682 Stars in This Flight
A service flag is to be unfurled at the University of Illinois on February 24th, that will contain 2,682 stars. The flag raising will be a military ceremony.
2.682 Stars in This Flag
The faculty of the Iowa State college have taken up gardening training. The demands of war time are that the leaders for this work be trained along specific lines, so that the efficient work may be accomplished.
Final examinations are to be abolished this semester at Columbus, Ohio.

The University of Texas is to have a seventy-five float flag pole on the campus. It has been completed and is ready to be set up. The base will require 125 cubic feet of concrete.
Oc-Idas Wear Uniforms
Coots at the University of Illinois are attending an action by appearing on the campus in military uniforms not unilike hose of the aviators who are studying at the ground school at that place.
At present four Persians are attending the College of Agriculture, Logan, Utah. They have forsworn Omar Khayyam, and want more than a loaf of bread and a jug of wine.

There now is reason to climb to the fifth floor of Fraser for away up there, is a new library. It isn't a library just moved over from some place else, but it is a really new addition to the University. The Kansas Academy of Science has moved from Memorial Hall in Topeka to this fifth-floor room. The Academy of Science, at first the university was not originated in 1868 with only seventeen members. Now there are more than two hundred.
Guy West Wilson, secretary, is in charge of the up-in-the-air library. Mr. Wilson is a graduate of DePauw and Purdue universities. He will welcome the students to the library as soon as the books can be arranged upon the shelves.
Until last summer, its headquarters have been in Topeka. Now eight thousand volumes of books and pamphlets on all scientific subjects, have found a new home in the University.
