ALL HAIL VALLEY CHAMPIONS
By so decisively defeating Missouri in the two basketball games last week, the title of Missouri Valley champions again rests with the speedy Jayhawkers. There are only four more games to be played with little possibility of losing more than one of them, hence, Kansas once mere sees the Valley pennant remain with William Oliver Hamilton's fast ountet.
And to that same Mr. Hamilton much of the credit is due, for he has worked all winter, harder than any of the men on the team, in turning out for the University of Kansas a basketball team that is well up to the standard of previous years. Hamilton's record as a coach has been one to inspire the admiration of every lover of true sportsmanship.
In being praised the coach, the men individual must not be forgotten.
Working out at basketball is about the hardest job at the University and the men have proven their loyalty to the school by making the game their first consideration. How well they have succeeded in their attempt is well shown by their victories. The Missouri Tigers came to Lawrence undefeated and confident, but by two decisive scores the Jayhawkers demonstrated their ability to again carry home the Valley bunting.
We doff our hats to the Missouri Valley champions and their coach, William Oliver Hamilton.
HEARD AT THE ART EXHIBIT "Oh. here's a cutie!"
“An effect of distance—a sort of
vague mistiness, as it were”—
"Looks just like a National Bank calendar, don't it?"
"I like that red and purple thing over there the best."
"A roller as heavy as that couldn't go down a hill—"
"The technique is good, but the at mosphere lacks that characteris tic-"
"You have to stand right in front of it and then back off northeast."
"I can't that just too sweet for any use"
"I know that girl—took German with her, and she was always drawing in her book."
"I don't see no moon in that there picture. Where is it?"
"Aw, gee, look at Haskell!"
"the three hundred word theme on the one we like best—"
YOU COME TO PARTY
Don't stay away from the Colonial party because no one has button-holed you and urged you to come, nor because you have no dress suit, nor
because you are not acquainted, nor because you don't know what it is all about. There's no reason why you should stay away, if you are in town, and are not sick.
FIX UP THE SHOWERS
The little crooked spouts in the men's section of the Gymnasium called shower baths are fast losing that distinction. Now they lack the shower features, and have a trick of emitting extremely hot or extremely cold water at the time when such is the least expected. Can't they be restored to their intended identity?
What has become of the old fashioned class that was always working for a memorial?
Well, you have just that much more time in which to make the date for that Union Dance.
Who's Who in the Mott Meetings
Edward C. Mercer was born in Savannah, Gau. His family, one of the most prominent in the state, have played an important part in the life of the South for many generations, and Mercer as a boy was all the opportunities which wealth and social position can provide.
Entering the University of Virginia, he soon became a leader of the social and athletic life of that institution. He became a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, two of the leading social clubs, and a member of the Senior Society. He played on the baseball team.
But social prestige and natural ability were not sufficient safeguards, and Mercer began drinking. As the habit grew he became a confirmed drunkard and finally touched what seemed the very bottom of the social scale. Homeless and penniless and spurned by his old friends and associates, he spent nights on the benches in a public park and not infrequently walked the streets day and night humurry.
In 1904, with a desperate desire to have done with the old habits, he made his way into the famous Jerry McAulley Water Street. Mission in New York City and there, as in the case of thousands of others, a wonderful change occurred in his life. In the place of the he*less derelict, he became an earnest Christian and a great friend to fallen men, and as Assistant Superintendent of the McAuley Mission he helped many hundreds of drunkards, gamblers, and thieves back to decent lives. This work in the Mission and in the prisons and slums of New York brought him in touch with many college men who, though "down and out" through their suffering, took heart upon the Murser's story, and scores of these broken men have been assisted in making a new start in life through his influence.
In the past five years, Ted Mercer has spoken to more than 400,000 college men in 90 per cent of the leading colleges and universities of the United States, and has visited 35,000 fraternities and club houses. Probably because it is more available in the fraternity houses and athletic circles of the colleges.
John R. Mott says of Mercer: "I have spent more than 25 years in work among the universities and colleges of this country and have also been able to form a judgment as to the character and influence of the work of Mr. Mercer. I cannot speak too highly of what he has been permitted to accomplish. He has done more than any other one man to help me realize my own strengths and helpfulness the most influential classes in modern college life."
KANSAS
Where sun-kissed hills bring forth the golden wealth,
I sing about the land where wheat
flood waves.
That caters to the varied wants of man.
Where Summer's wind and sun make cheeks of tan;
I sing of days but fifty years agone,
When echoes broke from out the
wall.
And stalwart men, the hardy sons of toll.
Began the westward march that has not ceased.
The Underwood
First in public opinion. Proved through its adoption by the largest typewriter users.
Highest mechanically, as evidenced by the award of the Elliott Cresson Medal.
Best because it is the machine upon which all International typewriter records have been won.

they came with shout and wild careening rush.
And hastening forth with quick'ing,
clamorous zeal.
They seized the land where Red
men used to roam.
From North and South a commonwealth was made. And towns sprang up so as to be
And towns sprang up as if by magic power;
On hill and plain, the dwelling places rose,—

As old as written record can recall their worth. The book, then, or psiins sin
To overcome a stubborn wilderness,
Must stand 'mongst these the direst

Kansas City, Missouri
For what are man's devices set for man,
Compared to breaking virgin Nature's will?
So here in sunny Kansas' balmy climate,
The war with Nature waged on
us.
Midst all the struggle, factions vied in blood
The rattling chains of slavery's omin
Contending which should wield the scepter's might
The hardships, toil, and bloodshed won the day,

Gave place to welcome victory for

Where even drought, and burning winds impose
Where once barbarians chased the apotheke
The peaceful homes of culture now repose.
The locomotive shrieks in triumph o'er

The prairies spread with wealth producing fields,
While answering back from far and near ground.
The traction engine boasts of wondrous yields.

All hail! fair Kansas! Hail prosperous realm!
To lend the thrifty household gentle shade,
The seasons now bring forth their bountie fruit-

Bespeaking how, in stride, the home was made.
While loving kine, contented, rove the

Smile on, fair Kansas, touched by hand. Diving.
She ever shows a welcome, smiling face.

STUDENT OPINION
A visitor to the University of Kansas may approach the University from several different directions. Which of these may be considered the "front door" of the University? Perhaps the largest number of people climb the Adams street in front of the back of the Library—hardly a front entrance! Coming along Oread they would pass between the Dyche Museum and the Library, getting first a side view of these buildings, with a vista of the end of Fraser between them. From the south a narrow board walk leads up to the back of Blake and to the other end of Fraser. In Massachusetts street directly up to the front of Fraser, as should be if Fraser were to be considered the main building of the University, as it has been in the past. Evidently, however, the new Administration Building is to be the principal building of the future and the main approach to the building should include reference to the building we hope to have. The drive and the car line on the East side of the valley lead up past the back of the Museum, Green Hall and the Chemistry Building and creep in between the latter and the side of the Administration Building. The road over on the west side can probably be considered an approach at the library. Evidently we have no front door.
At the time the Administration Building was located a preliminary study of the campus was made and an approach was planned through the building to accommodate for an adequate front door, but the plan will require careful study.
The lecture on University Campus planning to be given in Marvin Hall on Friday, at 4:30 o'clock should attract everyone at all interested in the future development of the campus. Prof. Goldin Goldmith

MAKE A RESOLUTION TO SAVE
The foundations of thousands of fortunes which people are enjoying today were laid in the frugal habits of fathers and grandfathers. Nine-tenths of the criticism directed against those who by industry and frugality have made a success, of life comes from people who never learned the lesson of self-denial or saving. Many a family will suffer for life's reasons because their winter slumber causes wastefulness and malaise during the summer. The sin of extravagance is not confined to any one class; rich and poor alike are gullly, the poor paying for it most dearly.
Let children be taught that there are better uses for their pennies than the movies and the candy shops. Let servants be shown the necessity of
saving in the kitchen. Let every one, rich and poor alike, acquire this lost habit of our fathers. No nation can expect to be permanently prosperous whose food was frequently wasteful. —From Leslie's.
