HOW WILL THEY VOTE?
The proposed referendum on the ratification of the Peace Treaty, to bring out an expression of opinion on the subject from students and faculties of all colleges and universities in the United States, will be voted on at the University of Kansas, Tuesday, January 13.
Already the vote is commanding unusual interest all over the United States. One reason is that the promoters of the plan, the editors of the college papers of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia, have taken pains to secure the approval of Senator Lodge and Senator Hitchcock to the form of the question. And the fact that the latest proposal for a compromise, made by the Democrats, and which is reported to be unfavorable to Senator Lodge and his followers, will make the opinion expressed in academic circles Tuesday all the more interesting.
In reference to the proposed plan the Christian Science Monitor says:
"If any considerable proportion if the 35,000 to 40,000 faculty persons and the 200,000 undergraduate in American colleges and universities record themselves sincerely, the result will doubleburst in interest and importance any straw vote over before taken. For the colleges and universities offer unusual facilities for organizing the voting, just as they provide a body of voters whose opinion will be peculiarly worth nothing, especially as the faculty vote and the student vote will be tabulated separately. And the number and diffusion of the institutions participating will give a nation-wide character to the expression, along with a certain element that is authoritative."
Another effect of the plan which will be of benefit is indicated by the Cornell Sun, which says truly that, if the referendum is to have full value, those who are to go to the polls on January 13 must post themselves beforehand on the Treaty and the League.
It will be interesting to note what proportion of the faculty and students of the University of Kansas are concerned enough to express their opinion at the polls next Tuesday. Doubts many are not well informed on the two texts to be deeply interested. Those who wish to learn more about the Treaty and the League may find the full text in the September issue of the American Association for International Conciliation, 407 West One Hundred and Seventeenth Street. New York.
The original plan was that each voter should be asked to mark his preference among the four following propositions: (1) ratification without
reservation; (2) straight rejection,
(3) ratification with the Senate majority reservations; and (4) ratification by means of compromise. "But," says the Christian Science Monitor, "Nonsenator Lodge fed that his position 'could be fairly provided for only by' adding propositions favoring a separate peace with Germany, and advocating a compromise ratification only 'after insuring that the American 'views as to the Monroe Doctrine' and other of the Lodge contentions shall be acceded to.' These additions bring the list of prop荐卧 up to six. It is vital, in order that a true representative opinion be received from the University of Kansas, that each student and faculty member go to the polls next Tuesday and cast his vote.
A GOOD START
Just before school dismissed for the summer vacation last spring a movement was started to erect a memorial. The movement ran along for some time and then the entire matter was dropped because it was impossible to agree on a suitable one.
Before the Christmas holidays the "Loyalty Movement" crystalized into a million dollar memorial drive. The movement get a fair start, everyone endorsed it and the county clubs took it up and carried the proposition to the citizens of the state. The various clubs report good success in their work during the holidays, but it has been a week now since school started, and nothing in the way of announcing plans or starting an active campaign has been done.
If the movement is to succeed some action must be taken soon or interest in the proposition will be swallowed up in the many activities of the stu dents and friends of the University
THE DRIFTER
The change in the coach of the basketball team shows the spirit of the Kansas coaches in working for the interest of the school and the usefulness of the men who are directing athletics. Doctor Allen could take it much easier coaching the Freshmen but when Schlademen asked to be relieved in order to give more time to the track team Allen took the world with the basketball men off his hands. The school would be benefited by more of this kind of spirit.
How many students in the University have decided on what they are going to do when they finish their course in school? Have you? Many students are attending the University without any definite purpose and taking what ever work happens to strike their fancy at the time they enroll. Too often the courses are determined by the schedule of classes. Work is arranged so that the student will have all morning classes or no 8:30 class regardless of what the courses are. It is this class of student who help to swell the ranks of failures, those who drift from one occupation to another without ever making good at any one of them. The individual would say that he had not found himself but is he being honest with himself?
A decision to enter some one field f work and the backbone to stick with hat work would cut down the number d drifters materially.
On Other Hills
A fraternity basketball league has been organized at Ames. Every fraternity has entered a team and the varsity coaches hope to develop material for next year's squad from the league.
University of Missouri authorities have offered a reward of $200 for information leading to the arrest of thieves who stole $10,000 worth of platinum from the laboratories recently. The authorities think someone familiar with the laboratories took the platinum.
Because of the large enrollment the University of Minnesota has been forced to stop enrollment of new students for the remainder of the year in all courses except Agriculture and Forestry.
The University of Cincinnati athletic association has given the proceeds of a basketball game with Ohio State to the "O" club at that school. The university also toward bringing athletes to the University than they have done before.
The same day that the $100,000,000 gift to raise the salaries of University professors was announced by Rockerfeller, the Standard Oil Company announced a one cent a gallon increase in the price of gasoline. It also owns of Fords and other cars will finance Mr. Rocker's gift.

A record was established at the opening basketball game Tuesday night when two cheerers appeared at the game. It is a record along the right lines and indicates that the right spirit is coming back. The yelling at the game was better than at any basketball game in several years.
car companies in other parts of the country are lowering their rates the cities in this section of the country are taking over their habit of raising the rates.
Among the emergency bills to be considered by the special session of the legislature is one for the purpose of raising the pay of teachers. The proposed law is of vital interest to many K. U. students who will enter college. This law will help plating their courses. Such a bill should meet with little opposition because there is no profession so underpaid as the teachers.
The statement that the miners could not whip the United States government has been made by John L. Lewis, president of the United States. Neither could they freeze the people into granting their demands.
The department of justice has intimated that it may require the use of army camps to hold the reds who have been arrested pending the time they are waiting to be deported. Many members of the thirty-fifth division would like to recommend the use of the campaigned in the same soldiers centered in the winter of 1917-18 that a fitting punishment for the kaiser would be to spend a winter at this camp, living under canvas.
Another bill which will receive considation at the hands of the legislators is one providing a heavy sentence for automobile thieves. The proposed bill has the backing of the A. T. H. A. This organization was largely responsible for reducing thefts in vehicles, and it can do the same with the automobile thieves it will be entitled to a lot of credit.
Mental Lapses
There are four classes of people, thusly:
Low Lowbrows.
High Highbrows.
A high lowbrow would like to be somebody.
A low lowbrow is nobody and doesn't care.
A low highbrow tells the world he is somebody.
Second Kat—"What kind. She could easily write a book on 'Laps I Have Sat On.' —Iowa State Student.
A high highrow is somebody, but doesn't worry about it. What are you? D.A.D.
First Kat—"Say, what kind of girl is Dorothy?"
First father:"My boy's letters from college always send me to the dictionary."
"I fear your parents don't care for me. Your father said he would mop up the floor with me"
Second father: "That's nothing—my boy's always send me to the bank." Jester.
"Said she was glad to see him for once evince a willingness to assist in house cleaning."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
"And what did mother say?"
"Have short shirts begun to come in style again."
"The butler was intoxicated this afternoon, Henry. You must discharge him." "Discharge him nothing. I'll double his wages. May he'll tell where he got it." -The Home Sector.
"I'll swear I cannot say. Since these tight sweats appear in vogue I've never given the matter a thot." Wichita Eagle.
From out the mystic shades of Time'
acone,
Dark, mysterious, unfathomable,—
If drooping, dance. and sound thy flute and life,
Now, if lamenting, laugh; if sorrowing, sing;
And joy at its sweetness—wince at its sting.
To sense for a brief space this thing called Life.
For *tis* a happy message that I bring.
This of the Transcendency of Life!
Think not you're but a speck in this vast Cosmic Scheme,
vast Cosmic Scheme,
And just a grain of sand upon Life's
And just a grain of sand upon life's Shore.
He was the pattern of God's
For you're a man, the Epitome of God's Creative Dream!
Oman
God has no favorNo. He loved not
Adam more.
Drive from your mind all thoughts that Life is woe.
And that earthly joy is 'to good to be true'.
When staggering and reeling fron
some ashmitite's hard blink
some calamity's hard blow,
Be not a whit disheartened, but set
forth again to do!
When gulfeful Sloth doth whisper in your ear,
What doth it conduce?"
Pay him no heed, but work with dou-
dle.
For even Heaven's pleasures may prove cloving
ay him no heed, but work with doubled cheer.
For idleness, Death is the sole excuse!
Tiny, but insidious, and how damnabli, annoying,
among us.
This- On Earth we worked not or
we were worth it.
Live to the utmost! Strive! Achieve!
Fu(f)l!b!
If, in our minds there creeps the thought.
Let resplendent aspirations through you serre!
HIGH SCHOOL CUBLETS
le not content with laurels past, but to the new task tbrill!
Throb, pulsate, be vibrant with Life's glorious urge!—A. H. Hindman.
A Serious Yet Humorous Review of the Literary Works of Young Jayhawkers
The English classes of the Wichita High School recently issued a magazine section of the Wichita Messenger containing several good stories.
"The Booster" boasts the Neodhesa high school weekly. No explanation was offered to the following item appearing in a recent football number of the paper: He—"What shape is a kiss?" She—"I don't know." He—"Give me one and we'll call it square."
A "Have You Heard" column amm notes from other High School pares are attractive features of the Swickwik School Sentiment. The Sen- politian style in regina met- politian style and is liberally pionized by advertisers.
The Arkansas City High School students not only write all the "dope" for their paper but do the printing. This is a regular department of the school and besides printing the paper students must also take part in the Junior and Senior High Schools.
College students are not the only ones that indulge in scandal. The Columbum students issue an annual report on the college's secular issue of The Question Mark.
"Buzings!" of the Argentine high school students are recorded bi-monthly by "The Buzzer". A plumber advertises that plumbing is not a luxury but a necessity. City people have an abundance of nerve.
Students of the Salina high school publish "The Habit". From a recent issue we quote: "Had the world ended December 17, most of the students would have been late getting off the earth."
Pratt Kannas high school students see themselves in "The Mirror." Hundreds of students in this school were recently converted at a local revival center. Students play the abolishment of dancing and card playing. Serious edition, no jokes.
Personal item from The El Doradoan, a bi-monthly official publication of the Eldorado high school. "Eugene McCall called at the home on Miss Bobbie West Sunday evening and said she would gun." Otherwise the paper boosts the high school and contains many interesting departments.
Outside of an advertisement urging students to spend their vacation in recreation, "The Holtonian," Holton and his band appear to be a newy little paper.
"The Patriot" is published bi-monthly by the journalism classes of the Leavenworth high school. It is well patronized by local business men and has been featured in medium. Among the features of the paper is a "Bol-shevik" column and a section concerning the activities of colored students. The editorial staff grapples its readers with the issue, and the students, who wish to get their ideas in the paper.

Say, when you were home for the holidays, you went to church didn't you? Your minister saw you come in with mother or dad, and he said, "My it seems good to have these students home from K. U.
And you went back into the old Sunday School Class, didn't you?
And quite likely you turned up at young people's meeting.
Woll, what are you going to do the day after tomorrow?
Are you coming to church?
Will you be out at Sunday School?
Are you just a sort of aimable pa-gan away from home?
I read the other day in a book by a kindly spirited, wise educator, one of the leaders of thought in America, that we were fast drifting into a "cultured paganism." Was he right, or was he wrong?
Hurre's a topic worth discussing at the dinner table. But the best answer would be to come to church on Sunday!
Yours very cordially,
Ross W. Sanderson,
Pastor of Plymouth.
