NOT A PASSING FANCY
"Wely intend to have a stadium with a seating capacity of 25,000 to 30,000 constructed and ready in every particular for the next Missouri-Kansas game here, and we are going after it in a business-like manner because it is not a passing fancy but a real urgent necessity and need."—Forrest C. Allen, Manager of Athletics.
A stadium that will provide for the needs of the University for the next twenty-five to fifty years, one that may be used for both football and track, and contain lockers and dressing rooms, is the plan of the athletic management.
Already the idea is gaining impetus. Manager Allen and Prof. C, W. Williams have just returned from the East where they inspected six stadia; for information and ideas for the proposed structure here. A budget has been voted to carry on the work of a committee of engineers to choose a site and make necessary investigations and estimates, and a financial plan to provide funds for the new field and stadium is being formulated by the athletic board. Gifts alone will not be depended upon to raise the funds, and if necessary, interest will be paid on sufficient money to float the enterprise.
The University has long been in need of a new athletic field and a larger stadium. The bleachers on McCook Field are fast deteriorating, and it was necessary to reinforce them this year before the Missouri game to insure safety. The seating capacity has been inadequate, and the University has outgrown it. A new and larger stadium would draw people who, in the past, have not attended because of the limited facilities of McCook Field.
The plan which is being formulated is upon a large basis, with the idea of giving the University a structure which will be large enough for years to come. The men backing the plan are not dreamers, but the kid who take hold of a practical idea and work it out to a success. They have the support of the entire student body, the faculty, and the alumni, and the drive is going over, and going big.
The University needs a stadium, and with these forces working for it, the dream will come true.
WITH JOBS IN QUESTION
WITH JOBS IN QUESTION
A discouraging feature in connectio
with the special session of the Kra-
ns legislature is the fight the lab
unionis are making on Governor A
len's proposed plan for an industri
court. The opposition is merely ar
other indication of how the individu
members of a labor union permit rai
cal leaders to dominate their express
opinion.
the anti-strike provision of the pro-
sed bill is the thing that strikes labor opposition as the most distantful. It is in opposition to that clause that the labor leaders are making the most noise, and seemingly because without strikes the men who make an occupation of calling strikes will be without a job. But so blind is the faith of the average union member in his leaders that he nods assent to their opposition and seemingly labor unions are lined up solidly against the measure when, as a matter of fact, the member, outside the influence of his officers where he could think without emotion, probably would line up for the industrial court.
Whenever anti-strike legislation is mentioned these labor leaders begin to foam at the mouth and utter inconsistent phrases regarding the freedom of labor. Rather than lose their own jobs as agitators they are willing to throw thousands of their followers out of work to prove this so-called freedom. Their idea for a class war is made on the same basis that a king with a shaky following makes war in the hope of strengthening his own position.
Labor—sane labor with a desire for even handed justice—need have no grave fears regarding the workings of an industrial court with an anti-steak provision. The only thought in planning this court is to establish a force to protect the public good while labor makes demands and capital asks for its rights. It is not designed as an instrument to crush labor.
--and the shamed, pure bodies of your maids
A good start is half the race. The Varsity basket ball team goes to the tape tonight. Let's all help them to a good start toward the 1920 championship.
BUYING FOR QUALITY
"A thousand calories of round steak, please." If you should ask the butcher for your steak in that way he might raise his meat like and say, "Leave quietly or I will hit you on the conk." Yet it is possible that within a few years we will be buying meat and groceries by the calorie.
Some of our economists are advocating the expression of food prices in calories. For instance, the butcher will price his beef at three calories for a penny, and the grocer his bread at six or eight calories for a penny. Thus each purchaser will know just how much bot1 fuel he is buying and the poor may buy their food more with regard to its food value than with regard to quantity.
"It should be done and it can be done," according to one economist, "without very great trouble. The system would not be perfect as it would not give the consumer any indication as to how much fruit and vegetables he would need to supply the minerals and acids necessary for the maintenance of health. However it would doublesbe an improvement and a step in the right direction."
Has the whistle taken over the tricks of the old clock in Blake Hall, or does our watch need repairing?
Mount Oread claims a double distinction. In the Summer, Fall, and Spring it commands the most beautiful view in Kansas. In mid-winter it merits its distinction as the coldest spot in the Missouri Valley
WE OWN THE VALLEY
To the student approaching its summit over slippery, levy walks on a zero day this distinction is unquestioned. A bitting wind sweeping down that frozen view of last summer finds its first resistance for miles when it strikes the face of the student bent nearly double in the combined effort of climbing the steep angled hill and carrying a notebook. To those who are stubbornly dressed it biases a note of warning and passes on, leaving the victim with half a breath and a pair of blooming ears. Those who have learned the lesson of that cold wind, playfully reminds of former sieges of flue and pneumonia.
To Missouri belongs the honor of the championship in football but for the next few months Mount Oread will own the Valley honors for low temperatures
Mental Lapses

"Yes dear, but what will you live on?"—Ginger.
"Are you going to propose to my sister tonight?"
"Oh, nothing!" Only if you are, you aren't a game to surprise her. At dinner just now she bribed me an 'my little brother to go to bed at half past three' in order to spoil the sores on the parler wall, moved the over in the darkest corner, got ma and pa to go call'n' next door, shut the dog in the collar,n'the been practising its skills all the afternoon."—The Queenslander (Brisbane, Australia).

All the Fixings—"Has this all a speedometer?" asked an old gentleman to the auctioneer, at one of the Disposal Board sales.
The autioneer was equal to the occasion and replied:
"At thirty miles an hour it exhibits a white flag, at forty miles a red flag, and at fifty miles a gramophone begins to play. I'm going to be an angel and with the angels dwell."—London Tit-Bits.
Foiled at Last—"Algy fell in love with a girl at the glove counter. He bought gloves every day for a week. She became insensitive, she became a manicurist."
"Then he had his nails manicured every day, I suppose?"
"Just so. However, I don't think he will follow her any farther." "Why not?"
"Then she got employment with : dentist."—London Tit-Bits.
G. B. S.
When George Bernard Shaw produced his play "Androcles," the house roar at the fall of the curtain and the crowd rose up in alarm as he bow how to the storm of applause.

Contemporary Verse.
THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS
we灯饰 that shall be banners in your fields
and that shall be awards, and
A year ago, armed men marched past me, shouting and singing—some stopped a moment to stand grim beside me.
THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS.
I am a Little White Cross in France.
I could not speak to them.
But could I have spoken, I would not have said words of sorrow.
I could only stand before them, stalwart and erect like they. I who would remain behind when they were gone.
I would not have uttered sentences to cut into the hearts of those who cheered and laughed and sang.
A year ago he has gone since then. Still I stand at my post of duty, over a little mound in France. The men who marched past me a year ago have travelled the seven seas to home. Today, they laugh and cheer. And today they may think of me, and for a moment stand sad. But still my message could I but speak, would be the same, the message of my Marine
"Laugh on—be joyous! Let not my crossed arms stay the smile or still the gladness. I am gone—you will not forget. You will not cease to remember. You will still am in France, you will still be in France, fought, side by side that the day of happiness, the day of gladness might come. Every joy must have its price, every smile its tear; every cloud its sunshine to their tear, every storm its shadow, only life—death is Reward. And I have gone to it."
Yes, I am a Little White Cross in France. I stand stalwart and to my Master who sleeps beneath. I stand proud and shrugged as the glad prodigality with which he gave his All that today you laugh and sing, today you celebrate. In gladness he went, in faith he weeped for weepin in France?
Memory? Yes. Sweet, tender recollection. Pride—a world of it. Honor—I stand in honor's Field. For I am what gave you today the joy, the happiness, the gladness of Peace—
"Yes," said the motorist. "Old friend of yours?"
A Little White Cross in France.

SCIENCE AND TRAFFIC
"There is great difficulty in finding men who are capable of earning a salary of $5000 or $1,000 a year, though it is not difficult to find them. But it is not as difficult as $1,000," declared Sir Albert Stanley, former president of the Board of Trade, in London, recently, at a meeting at which it was decided to form an institute of transport for the university of transport relating to oil and transport.
Two things are essential for success, according to Sir Stanley. First, they must have the fullest publicity; secondly, they must maintain their responsibility and security for the district which they serve he most efficient, modern and effective system that science could give. There had been too much secrecy in the past, and he saw no reason why the experience of science would be needed for the benefit of all. One of the objects of the institute would be to secure opportunities for those who enter the profession to advance their own interests by their talent, ability and expertise in their change in the forms of transport in this country, and it was a satisfaction to know that that had been recognized by the government and a great department had been set up to secure for the country the best transport available. - Christian Science
Why the Cop Smiled
"I noticed you wave your hand to that traffic policeman."
Close Acquaintance
Traffic Cop—When I signal you to stop, I want you to stop. The next time it will cost you a five.
Autoist—Say, brother, if you can show me how to stop this sheet-iron Lizzard any quicker than I did, I'll give you ten!
"In a way. He carried me to court a few times."—K. C. Journal.
GOOD MANNERS AND MUSIC
There is a large class of amibit people—people who would never be guilty of eating with their knives, or combining vocal exercises with their soup—who have what seems to be a great set of bad manners when music is on going.
Too frequently we find them rattling their programs and making a noise that is far from blending with the music. Now if they would only learn how they could consult the program quietly, and get just as much good out of it.
Then there is the "time fend" who,
to show his musical inclinations,
beats remorelessly with a heavy
alarm and all too often, alas! beats
is wrong.
But the worst of all thoughtless aggressions on other listeners' com-ort is "that awful cowl!"
It is—by a sinister coincidence—simultaneous with the soft phrases in the music. And terribly contagious, too. The encouragement of a single cough set off scattering volleys of coughs all over the house. None of these sufferers, it appears, has a handkerchief to cough into to deaden the sound, or the will to restrain the voice. Then they give a light gestive vent to the malady with a light hearted indifference to the phrase dianissimo that is astounding.
No doubt there is a nervous equation in the matter, like laughing at a solemn moment, or opening one's eyes when someone falls into the seahead, or swallowing things the wrong way. Let us make use of allowance for this. But—the fact remains that this is one of the worst, most unnatural, usual, interruptions at any concert.
If you are one of the nervous ones, here are a few hints as to the remedy. Try coughing with the mouth closed tight. It will not make nearly so much noise and it will give just as much relief as coughing fortissimo. Only keep the lips shut and the jaw set, and the teeth together. It is good to keep them into the habit so thoroughly that it becomes second nature.
Good manners at a concert are just as eloquent a tribute to the music as is enthusiastic applause—a more subtle token of real approach at a concert. Both of the comfort of one's fellow listeners,—T. McLeod, in Etude.

"I think so; they have begun to scratch maches on the walls."—K. C. Journal.
