FEBRUARY 14, 1918.
UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
YE STONE AGE VALENTINE
Twas in the olden time St. Valentine went out and gathered palm leaves by the brooklets. And when he had collected an ample store he sat himself down and grinned. Then taking unto himself sticks of color, he straightened the electric light shade and began to work.
His efforts he expended upon a sketch of a malipidus osriosus, which he brightened with carmine of the poppy, blue of the violet, and green of the cactus. It had a face leering and cynical with the expression of an injured hippotamus. St. Valentine inscribed beneath it the magic words, "This is you," with an appropriate verse, and sent it to his beloved old teacher.
Then tore he palm leaves into shreddy shapes, printing a heart in blood red therion and wreathing delicate blue flowerleters around the edge. Upon this he wrote with trembling hand something about twin hearts which beat as one, and sent it to the maiden in the flat across the street.
This much did St. Valentine February 14, long ago. As he sees the crude efforts of the aching hearts today, he nods his head, strikes his beard, and says, "Tis much the same, 'tis much the same."
By t he Way
St. Valentine's 1918

The words too long unsaid
The caly of earth to leave
With Spirit never dead,

Dramatic Club Is Planning To Give More One-Act Plays
"Every year," said Lewis M. Hull manager of "The Checkmate" this morning, "the Dramatic Club endeavors to take a definite stand for some public question and to support that enterprise. This year it is a war measure which the Club is helping by contributing the net proceeds of "The Checkmate" given February 20, ad Joint Rockers Theater, to the Red Cross."
Regular $3.50 sil*k's, the one day only, a yd. $2.25
WEAVER'S
In presenting "Under Cover" last year the dramatic club laid the foundation for one big play each year, "The Checkmate," which has heavy parts, is the important play this year. The little plays which are given once a month in the Little Theater in Green Hall also are a result of the efforts of the club to help the Red Cross. Two plays Saturday of last week earned a small amount of money for the Red Cross and similar plays are planned for the remainder of the semester.
"We also are building the popular play idea," said Harold Lytle, president of the club, "when we promote these one-act plays. We believe these little plays are the coming feature of the stage."

An Opportunity for SOPHOMORES.
The Sophomore Section of the 1918 Jayhawker will be composed of individual photographs, in panels, of all second year students who care to pay a small fee of $1 for the privilege of insertion. The sophomores who are managing the section are enthusiastic in their praise of it; and it's going to be a big feature of the book. You should be in it, because:
1- Ten years from now, when you sit back in your easy chair and recall your college days, you'll get an amount of pleasure and satisfaction out of seeing your photograph in the "Jayhawker" that is worth dollars more than the small sophomore fee.
2- Because, due to the uncertainties of war, you may not be back on the Hill again next year—and you will most certainly want your picture in at least one "Jayhawker." This year may be your last chance.
3—Because the "1918 Jayhawker" is sure to be the last elaborate annual published at K. U. for many years—and you should have your picture in it.
4—Because the cost is small, “Jayhawker” dues for sophomores are only one dollar, this amount including your space and your “cut.”
5—Because the "1918 Jayhawk" is K. U.'s first and greatest "war annual," and it will be a book unique in the history of annual publishing at Kansas. You'll be proud of the annual, and proud that your picture is in it.
Prompt action on this matter is imperative. The final date for sophomore pictures is February 28; and this means that you must have a sitting with a photographer not later than February 23. Call a photographer today!—
NOW!
