THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
THINGS TO KEEP IN
Don't forget to boost:
1. The Stadium.
2. Student Commons.
3. Loyalty movement.
AND at all times:
Preach K. U.
Talk K. U.
Push K. U.
IN FACT
"PUT K. U. FIRST!"
THE 1920 PILOT
George Nettles all-Valley tackle in 1917 and 1919, will lead the 1920 Jayhawk football squad in its race for the Valley honors. Consistent, heady and hard-writing Nettles, through his two years on K. U. eleven, has shown that he will make a good pilot, a captain capable of directing the attacks of the team on the football field.
BIRDS OF A FEATHER
The selection meets with unanimous approval from the student body, whose aim is the Valley championship, and they feel that, with George Nettels at the helm, the goal will be achieved.
BIRDS OF A FRATHER
The founding of the Macdonwell Fraternity at the University of Kansas is another decidedly progressive step toward ranking K. U. with the leading universities of the countries.
The privileges which the members of this society will be able to enjoy include the meeting of both professionals and amateurs in their respective work—music, art, or literature. The promotion of the creative arts is the chief motive of the society, but in addition a closer relationship will be made between the student of the various institutions which will tend to draw the institutions closer together.
EXERCISE AND WORK
The organization of the Pan-hollenic Basketball League is just another step which goes to show that athletics at K. U. are due for a new lease of life, and the pre-war days which many of the older students and grads talk about are near at hand.
For many years, the idea of intra mural as opposed to purely inter-collegiate athletics has had its quota of supporters among the athletic authorities of this country. During the war, that idea assumed its height and an a result, some colleges even went so far as to abolish inter-collegiate contests and to confine their efforts to competition within their own particular school.
The arguments put forward in defense of intra-mural athletics are recognized as having weight. They mean that a far greater percent of the student body will be given a chance to develop physically and at the same time have a chance for adequate re
action. And after all, it isn't the man who wins his letter on the gridiron or the diamond who most needs the exercise. It is the other man, who is a looker-on at the Varsity games and who has not the ability to win a place on the eleven or the nine, who needs looking after.
So K. U, has taken a step forward. The Pan-helenic Basketball League will mean that probably 150 or 200 men in the University, who otherwise might not have even ventured into the gymnasium, will have a sufficient amount of exercise along with their work on the Hill.
Pan-helenic Leagues have been operating at many of the Universities over the country for several years. The next step for K. U. should be the formation of basketball leagues among the local and professional fraternies and among the hash houses.
ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?
Are superstitions as prevalent among people as they ever were? The majority will deny it, but if every one stops to think of the thousand little habits which he performs from superstitions teachings, he will not be no certain of his denial.
Superstitions beliefs are different in most people. Many recognize the same canes but look for dissimilar results. For instance, the dropping of a fork foretells the arrival of a man to some and of a woman to others. Of course, to many it is merely a sign that the fork has to be washed. But there are individuals most sacred to them as their religious ones and which it would take just as great an effort to change.
How many people count three or six down in a chair if they have to go back for something? It is quite a common known fact that few people enjoy watching a cat "cross their path". To spill the heat threatens some certain bad luck which can be warded off by throwing some of the spilled salt over your left shoulder. Seeing the new moon over one's right shoulder means good luck to some, while seeing it over the left is preferred by others, for it means that the wish they make will come true.
More than one person has been caught wearing his apparel wrong side out in preference to turning it and tempting evil, while a few superstitious ones have almost become nervous wrecks in consequence of breaking a mirror. Traffic has been known to be delayed by someone stooping to pick up a pin which points in their direction and those people who have seen young girls kiss their thumbs may have their curiosity relieved by this rhyme;
Stub your toe and kiss your thumb. See your been before day is done. There are superstitions and superstitions, but whether they are as common as they used to be is a master hard to determine. If it were possible to take a census of the public in regard to their superstitious beliefs, we should probably know no more than we do now, for certainly they are not in vogue and many people do not realize that they are hardly sensitive of such foolishness. But whether they remain in evidence or not, the old ideas are hard to break away from.

Monday's faculty meeting illus trates all undesignedly the strangl hold that the majority system with minority enforcement, has upon Americans, even the most highly educated of the electorate.
PROPORTIONAL REPRESENT-
Editor, The Daily Kansan;
ATION
A delegation is to be chosen which by direct request of the State Board of Administration, is to be fully representative of the different elements. Fifteen has been set as the number of representatives that would in Australia and several European states, that any group that can muster one-fifth of the total faculty vote would be sure of a representative. The majority system, however, makes no representation of seven fifteens. Spence-Hare.

Nei or Alumni and Former Students
By Edmund Vance Cooke
Mr. Millard K. Shaler, A. B. '01, B. S. '04 paid a short visit to friends in Lawrence during the holiday in 2005, and he visited New York for his office in Brussels, Belgium, to resume his duties as general manager of the African Mining Company, with which he been connected or eight or ten years.
Mr. Shaifer has been one of the very successful alumni of the University immediately upon mediation be positioned on the United States Geological Survey and remained in that work for four or five years. At that time the large syndicate, The African Mining Co. garnishedconcerns in the Belgian part of Africa and asked the director of the United States Survey to recommend some one to make Geological surveys there;the director recommended a Mr. Ball and Mr. Shaifer as the men for that work.
They spent two years in 'n g. lea-
t with the African fever, and almost lea-
t back to America for Mr. Steve
 came back to America for Mr.
and at the end of that time made a
second trip to Africa for another two
days. During this period he developed
gold mines discovered on his first trip, and began the development of diamond mines found principally along the tributaries of the Congo River. After another year in America he returned to Africa for the third time, and continued development of diamond mines.
In about a year the World War broke out and Mr. Shaler went to London to live. There he joined Mr. Herbert Hoover in his efforts to bring relief to the Belgians, and begged the warlord to the elose of the war. Mr. Shaler has remained prominent in Belgian affairs.

THE STONE OF THE MONTH
The garnet is the birthstone for January. Consequently it is the luck stone for January and it corresponds to ceding to old authorities: the "garar"
THE STONE OF THE MONTH
"No gems but garnets should be worn
By her who in this month was born
They will insure her constancy,
True friendship and fidelity."
The garnet is a comparatively
ambient American stone. It is a
beautiful gem and in addition to its
January association, is the symbol of
18 years of married life.
Mental Lapses
Proof Positive
A proud smile came to the face of the engaged one, as she replied:
"Are you sure Harry's thoughts are all of you?"
"Absolutely. Why, he has lost two good jobs this month for writing love letters to me during business hours." —Country Gentleman.
Which?
A patriotic school teacher recited The Landing of the Pilgrims to her classes and then asked each child to draw a picture of Plymouth Rock.
One little fellow raised his hand.
"Well, Willie, what is it?"
Wen, Whine. What is it?
"Please, Miss Green, do yiu want us
us to draw a hen or a rooster?"
A Complete Outfit
"Say, wait," the peved diner exclaimed, "a steak that is like a piece of leather is bad enough, but why do you eat it? It is so dull as a box at the same time?"
"Well, sir," the waiter explained kindly, "you can use the steak to strop the knife on, and then you can use the knife to cut the steak."
