WHO WILL DRIVE THE HORSE?
FRIDAY, NOV. 21, 1919.
WE WILL DRIVE THE HOUSE!
The vision of a bigger and better K. U. has been supplied in the Loyalty Movement now taking a firm hold on the imagination of students and faculty.
The wagon has been hitched to the star; the practical necessity now is to guide the horse and keep him on the shortest route to the attainment of the goal. The horse has started out on a gallop, judging from the way in which different student organizations are hurdling over each others to pledge their support to the campaign. But a road paved with nothing except supporting pledges will not withstand the iron shoes of a practical horse.
NOW TO DO DEMOCRACY
The vision comes first. The dull daily monotonous grunt of attaining that vision means hard work and often times without any press-agent.
Less than one-half million men in three weeks time have been able to throw fifteen million men out of work and the coal strike has only begun. These same half-million men have made it necessary to place a nation-wide embargo on freight and to close down all non-essential industries. The effect already has been felt in Lawrence. It is a blind optimist only who views the miners strike with unconcern and as a thing that will flow over with a little time. Only the man who fails to recognize the vital relation between a plentiful supply of coal and industry can snap his fingers and say the strike is a small matter.
America is a Democracy, a nation where the majority rules and government is aid to be a thing of, for, and by the people. And yet less than one-half million of the voters of the nation are able to paralize the industry of that nation in direct opposition to the wishes of the vast majority. Through their organization these half-million coal miners are able to wield a bigger leverage than the combined voting strength of the country.
The significance of the strike is this: America must cease to merely talk Democracy and do Democracy. Our lawmakers must cease legislating with the double object of the nations interest and the trend of the future vote. They must meet the problem squarely from the one standpoint of the nations interest and solve it before it reaches the stage of a strike.
In the present crisis as well, law and order must be the fundamental
basis from which the government works to restore normal conditions. The mines must be reopened if it takes an army to do it. When the coal is moving again, there's time to talk about new wages and hours.
K. U. PRESTIGE GROWING
The University of Kansas is the oldest educational institution in the State of Kansas. Established in 1863, it opened the doors of its building, North College, to a mere handful of students, ambitious for higher learning.
Year by year the institution has grown. The enrollment has increased steadily, necessitating the erection of new buildings to accommodate the ambitious youth of the state. New departments and schools were added to the curriculum, new equipment installed. And the spirit of the school, which had its beginning then, back in the sixties, mounted with the advancement made along other lines.
But while the University of Kansas has progressed by leaps and bounds, only a small per centage of the citizens of the state, the supporters of the school, know its real worth; too few of them realize that it has an enrollment of four thousand; too few are aware of the fact that its professional schools rank with the best in the United States; that there is a total of twenty-two buildings, with hundreds of classrooms, given over to the education of their sons and daughters.
And not only must the fathers and mothers of the students of K. U. be made to know the worth of the University, but the students themselves must come to a realization of what means to be one of the four thousand attending their classes; they must realize the effect which the training they are now receiving will have on their success when they enter the business field; they should learn how the school started, how the traditions originated, the struggles and trials encountered, in order to know how to take advantage of the real opportunity which lies before them.
The graduates of the University are scattered everywhere, in every line of business, and the majority attained success. Among them are many national figures. But no matter where he is, or how successful he has been, the old grad never forgots the school back on the Hill. The trials and hardships he has encountered in the business world have brought him to a fuller degree of what it has been to be a graduate of K. U., and with it a realization that the University's influence will accompany him in whatever new adventure he may undertake.

THE GLORIOUS, GASEOUS OUT-OF-
FOUND
DOORS
Within the narrow, sturdy house
or office, all our nights and days
Were spent in entertaining ways—
A family gathering, a dinner
as well as developed in the house.
We never got outdoors enough.
Our pleasures all were indoor stuff,
And life was too walked-in by far.
Before we owned a motor car.
Before we owned a motor car
We never want to get lost.
But now that we've a car of class
Each leisure hour that we know
Lee Shipney.
THE MAKE BELIEVE MAN
we know
Around the boulevards we go
And fill our lungs with nuts, fresh gas
From all the other cars that pass.
One of the sorry spectacles that we are sometimes compelled to look upon is the would-be college man who cannot get down to business. He is the four-fluiser in college life. He may have the requisite dimensions and the avoirdupois of a real man and may even imagine himself to be in his lastick of stamma and will power anyone otherwise; and sooner or later we come to look upon him as a make-believe man—a false alarm.
This does not in the least imply that social pleasures are to be excluded from our programs. The truth is that nothing wins our admiration as a sane balance between work and and esteem so quickly and completely play in college life. But the man who is out to make it play all, and who is set to squareately and honestly the best in his college program, is to be set, down here just as he would anywhere else; that is, more lafero.
At the present moment, however he needs to be examined in another light; for the fact that in his relations to others, he is inclined to become a real nuisance. He will not work, which is bad enough; but what work he will not let others work. He either must understand or else he will wilfully follow first principle of democracy; viz. that his right and privileges come to a sudden and abrupt end at the point where they begin to interfere with the rights and best interests of others. Instead, he seems to think he has a perfect right to invite, persuade, unleave, or leave away from their work at any time that suits him whisky or fancy, which is by way of being all the time.
Perhaps he ought not to be looked upon as a man among men since he is unable to take a man's view of life and unwilling to assume a man's responsibilities or to perform a man's charitable part may require that we merely teach his childish weakness. He might be decorated with a special pin or badge of a nursing bottle in white enamel Still, the fact remains that no stretch of charity can make of him a useful member of college society. We wish it were otherwise for he is often, in regard to a likeable fellow. We regret to tell him once he lends himself to get in the other of others, he must sooner or later vanish from among us—Iowa State Student.

COLLEGES FORM A UNION
Nine Wisconsin colleges, facing the universal problem of increasing costs, have hit up a new plan of obtaining necessary financial support. They have banded themselves together in the Wisconsin Colleges Associated. Some of this organization's members are Catholic, some Protestant, and some have no religious predilections, but none of them receive any approvals from the state. They are all rivals, in a smaller state, in fields which the various members are utmost divergence in the particular endeavour to fill.
But the difficulty which they face in common has brought them together in a co-operative scheme which has its own special attention in educational circles.
Instructors in some of the colleges have been getting, for instance, as low as $1700 a year. One college president's salary is $1200 a year his junior receives $1000. The buildings of some of the colleges are inadequate and they are facing the great influx of students which all in-
endowments, which in no case were stipulations met this fall. And their heavy, had shrunk during the war period to half of their original usefulness. A meeting of the presidents agreed that the question was something like this: Are we to be given our opportunity, or will the stream of college students turned definitely from us to those institutions which are able to receive support from legislative appropriations?
The president agreed to place before the public square whether it thought the constructive, sane and traditionally American influences of a president were working. The presidents decided to ask the public square if it believed in the field of education for which their college stood, and if it did, how much worth of being placed in a position of operational dignity and stability.
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
It was then decided that the nine members would band themselves together in one plea for the common cause; that they would ask a total of three orders and that they would distribute it among themselves pro rata.
