RELIGION HAS A PLACE
TUESDAY, JAN. 13, 1920
Every student should attend the Convocation held in Fraser Chapel at 10:30 Wednesday morning, at which a report of the Student Volunteer Convention held at Des Moines, Iowa during the holidays is to be given.
The importance of this convention in very great. Representatives were present from all colleges and universities in the country, and the number of representatives from all schools was exceedingly large. Forty-two students and one professor from K. U. attended the convention and other representatives were similar. Many writers if this country have a perverted idea that college and university students, both men and women, are influenced by only unnecessary things in life; that they will support all athletic exhibitions and very salod a religious or similar service. The past work of the students at this convention and their plans for the future will aid in correcting these erroneous writers.
WILL YOU HELP?
The Crismon and Blue Basketball season has begun. The two victories that have been scored, although non-conference affairs, have shown that Kansas has the martial for a basketball machine that should place high in the Missouri Valley Conference race this year. Coaches Allen and Schlademan have promised to do their utmost with the material at their disposal and the student body has confidence in their ability.
The reil basketball season, however, does not begin until the latter of this week, when the Ames Cyclone invade Mount Oread for a pair of games. The Ames series will be followed by Missouri, the Kansas Aggs, Oklahoma, Grinnell, Washington and Drake and it remains to be seen whether Kansas will be in the running when the Conference season is fairly started. Basketball followers here who have been the team in action believe it will be running strong.
But there is one thing that the student body cannot neglect, if the University is to have a winner. And that thing is support. In the last few years, Jayhawker basketball teams have not been given the support they should have had, and the student body has been largely responsible. It is an old saying that no team can be a winner without active support and backing. The team needs that backing, if we are to beat Missouri and the Aggies, and who on Mount Oread wants to lose a single game to either of those teams?
If you want to see the Jayhawker basketball team on the top of the ladder when the Missouri Valley season ends in March, come out and lend your active support. Kansas has not had a Valley basketball championship for several years. Other Valley schools this year are reputed to have fast teams. But we can beat them, if we will. Let's go, Kansas, and clean up everything in our path on the court this year!
THE WISE OWL
The action of the Sour Owl Bowl in voting to cut out the "Scandia Section" in the Sour Owl and to be gain a campaign to make the Jayhawk humor sheet in a class with the Harvard Lampoon, the Cornell Widow and others should be commended. The Owl Bowl has acted wisely. There is now no reason in the world why Kansas cannot put out a publication as good as any other in the country.
For years the Sour Owl has struc-
twice annually, sometimes three
times and even four times, but the
magazine has never been published
regularly. The next step for the Owl
Board is to make the Sour Owl a regular
publication, go after fireign adver-
tising with a vengeance and pull
the Owl standard up to the top notch
of the ladder.
There is plenty of material on Mount Oread for the magazine. No university of this class in the country has a more plentiful supply of talented artists and journalists than K. U. But the one stumbling block in the Sour Owl's fight for a national reputation, for years, has been the yellow section wherein the scandals of K. U. are aired.
Certainly no Jayhawker will admit that the University of Nebraska is superior in any way to our own university, and yet Nebrasa for several years has successfully published the Awgwain, recognized throughout the country as one of the best of the humor magazines. There is no scandal sheet in the Awgwain.
Harvard has its Lampoon, Yale its Record, Cornell its Widow, Michigan its Gargoyle, Penn State its Froth Pitburgh its Panther, Stanford its Chapparal, and all have national reputations. Lets put the Kansas Sour Owl on the map to stay!
NEAR THE END
You are not having any difficulty in realizing how busy you have been since Christmas, how much you have to do today, and that you will have very little spare time until the semester is over, are you?
Perhaps some of your professors have assigned term papers to be finished in the next week or two. You undoubtedly have at least one notebook to finish before the end of the semester. You are more than likely back in some of your laboratory experiments, and some of your professors may be rushing you a little, because they wish to complete the text book or make up for lost time during the Christmas vacation.
As the runner on the track must speed up to the limit and give the very best that is in him on the final lap, so do we. At such a time the race is either won or lost. The slower we have been going in the past, the greater the effort we must make at this time. It seems that there is no end to the work that we must do, and that there is not sufficient time to accomplish it. But, if we start in and keep going, we shall find that results come to him who works while in waits.
One Result.
"What was the result of your ad- naming a bad doct?"
"Tramps have been infesting my place ever since."
"Would you like to take a walk with me?"
Fanning: How did you like the Dewdrop Inn?
"Ah, but what you don't know won't hurt you."—The Daily Northwestern.
All the Comforts
"But I don't know you—"
Dashar: Most homelike vacation rest I ever saw. The women monopolized the bathroom, the servants were impudent, the young lady guests made fun of me behind my back, the children pestered me to death for nickels and the landlady kept insisting that I was smoking too much, and ought to take more exercise.
--but breaks, a drown.

It is being found throughout the country that wood alcohol is a sure cure for the liquor habit. But death is so permanent.
There will be even more strikes when the base-hall season starts, but we hope that they are confined to the national game.
Few people are adverse to receiving the official plums but we haven't heard of anyone who was craving the consulship to iceeland.
There would be less radicalism in the United States if other cities would follow the lead of Jersey City in having police officers escort men like Victor Berger out of town when they tried to give public addresses.
The Federal Trade Commission has decreed that retailers must stop compelling purchasers to buy a large amount of other goods to obtain a few pounds of sugar. A most wise decision is to purchase anything else at the time he buys sugar, is out of place in this age.
There is to be a shortage in spats according to the papers. Of course, it is understood that the kind meant are those which make whole shoes out of half shoes, and that the divorce courts will in no way be affected.
The census enumerators should make a canvas of the members of the Communist party and other undesirable aliens at once or the department of justice will have the population of the United States materially reduced before the census officials complete their work.
With nine or ten possibilities for the Republican nomination for president and almost as many in the Democratic party, the country is likely to elect a political campaign that has not been equaled in many years.
Regardless of the merits of the Industrial bill to be considered by the Kansas Legislature in the special session, Governor Allen is at least in favor of the decree of the Jayhawker state in being first in progressive legislation.

Keeping On.
London Answers.
No use to clear from thoughts, that darkening smudge
No use to face the day again, and trudge
The path that hourly grows a greater drudge:
So long as thorns may prick us to defent.
And we prolong the pain of thorns we meet,
Whose fault, if sweetest perfumes
mass us.by
We see no rose!
If roses bloom and fail to catch the eye?
For him who scorns defeat, and thorns deny,
The herds of all the earth are on the move;
The rolling dust is thicker near the ground;
A flower blows!
Pause not, but raise your standards;
fill your groove,
By listening ears, the music of the march is found;
By keeping on!
No night so dark nor fraught with ominous sound.
