UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Hunger Harrows K. U.
Through Fifty Years
Of Various Feeding
Adam and Eve Sharing Apples Followed by Worldly Knowledge and Indigestion
The "coke" was not an economic member of society in 1874, and the college inn as yet an undiscovered gold mine.
In the back to nature days before there was a Brick's or a Lee's, the University student was never inspired to betake him, and possible her, to sip a "coke" between classes. In those pastoral days ye K. U. swain tortured his pocketts and wrecked his silhouette with rosy apples. Perhaps standing in the shade of a kindly tree between classes he might invite some favored maiden to eat an apple with him. The now conventional sunde or chocolate malted at Brick's or Lee's was as undreamed of as an aeroplane, and quite unnecessary to earthly bliss. The student of those days was here to go to school and not to learn to吃, or improve his taste in nectrices. At that time classes were held from 9 until 1 o'clock.
Cafes for the accomodation of students are comparatively recent says Professor M. W. Sterling who began teaching ancient languages in 1878, "Students went home for lunches and no cafes were needed."
Students then boarded and roomed in the same house, so these were the days before the dawn of the boarding club. The University grew and science advanced for eighteen years before laboratory classes were introduced. Then the period of afternoon work was lengthened. To avoid the trip home and return students and faculty resorted to the dinner pail. This system of nourishment probably was not wholly satisfactory because a lunchroom was opened in the basement of Fraser Hall. Miss Hannah Oliver, professor of Latin, who was graduated in 1874, recalls the lunch room, and the good will advertising in the shape of the aroma of coffee and baking buns which used to float upstairs about noon.
For unexplainied reasons the lunch room was soon discontinued. Then Billy Reynolds started his little restaurant just off the campus facing Fraser Hall. He was a joyful soul and the students were fond of him. So Billy dispensed jokes with his sausages, cakes, pies and doughnuts and indulged in idiotic dables were plentiful and cheap, and students flocked to Billy's. (Hoover was a mere child then. He probably was eating sausage, too.)
Billy's was a forerunner of Lee's. It ran several years until Billy could no longer lease the building. Today hundreds of students eat at "hill" and town restaurants and the student demands varied forms of service. He pours in, an ahorse of a hundred strong for lunch at noon. He drops in intermittently and spasmodically at all hours of the day and parts of the night, clamoring for pie or pickles and he occasionally orders a st. dinner with a white table cloth, when he is intending to take Mary down to dinner the night before he goes away to war.
It is said that there exists in the University a woman student who in her three years residence has never entered these cancums of the University world. The story may be true, but most people doubt it.

Now What Means The Musical Mysticism?
Comes now another teaser to the University bulletin boards and offers the wayfaring public another chance to whet its curiosity. The latest cryptic comer in the bulletin board teaser line is a brace of eight-notes, the king "Carus" gets about four bits apiece for vocalizing. Its design is most simple, which is as the advertising experts say it should be, and with its first appearance the Hill folks all know that "Well have" rather one what's the answer," and forthwith decided that some ambitious freshman was trying to dispose of a bale of mouth organs or some other music machine.
STUDENT'S SHOE SHOP
Today "March 5" appeared on the teaser, black on a blue background, and the Hill men and women revised their opinion and made another guess, saying, "All right, friend, somebody's going to harmonize March 5. What's it all about?" Some more Ideas of March stuff set to music, a harmonica virtuoso come to town, a symphony concert or the Men's Glee Club blossoming out again? Advance, friend, and give the answer and will the next installment be purple or pink and when are we going to get the whole truth of who's going to put on the show, how, where and when, and why don't you run your musical teaser in the University organ, the Kansan, if you want to create a real musical curiosity?"

How the "flivver" industry grew
But when I read—
R EADING the other day that there were nearly 4,000,000 automobiles in the United States wasn't surprising.
That in 1900 there were only 1200 motor vehicles in this country, then I got to thinking.
Comparison of those figures was like the battle between the lion and the mouse. What was it that caused the number of automobiles to grow so in number?
Of course, the automobile is bubbling over with utility and pleasure but it took more than the automobile itself to sell motor cars. Something had to convince the people that the automobile was not one continuous "upkeep," that motor cars could do everything and more than horses could,—it had to break the opinions of thousands of "doubting Thomas ""—that something was ADVERTISING!
And here is strange coincident—the motor car manufacturers are one of the largest classes of advertising buyers in the country; the motor car industry is one of the most thriving industries in the country—Do you see the connection?
