MAKE IT UNANIMOUS
Several K. U. student organizations have not vowed to back up the loyalty movement. Every organization should have passed some resolution. The special campaign will soon be over and many names will have failed to be included in the roll if quick action is not taken.
It is true that loyalty demands work, but a resolution of approval of the big movement is a necessary first step. It cannot be any but a good organization should make himself responsible for bringing the matter up at a regular or special meeting. The "Put K. U. First" campaign will be more effective if it is unanimous.
ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE
An opportunity for genuine cooperation between the students and faculty of the University has been presented by the director of the Summer Session. It is required that all students who will be in school next summer make it known through their deans what courses they desire to take up. This information will be used in making up the class schedules. What is offered in the Summer Session will depend upon the preferences expressed by the students.
Most students know by now whether or not they will be in the Summer Session. They should know by now what courses they will need. Disappointments next summer can be averted by taking this challenge. For the prospective Summer Session students, it is either to co-operate now, with or without condemnation of the faculty next summer because of an ill-suited program. If the faculty's offer to make the program just what the students want it to be goes unrecognized, criticism of the faculty next summer will come with poor grace .
FOR THE FUTURE
The world is passing through a crisis and is in still the dark end of the tunnel. It probably will be years before the beam of light at the other end becomes recognizable and the clear light of day follows. Similar crisis have not passed with one shift of the sun and there is little the evidence that the present is to become a memory for many years. The deep seated problems up to adjustment are too involved for harsh settlement. It will take years of judgment and experience before the nations settle back on their axes again on a normal basis.
The front page of nearly every daily newspaper is a page of vast potentialities. Without a guiding
to avert to the world would be volcanic eruption with a lot of Rodh and I. W. W.'s stirring up the explosive mixture. As it is, the clear headed, saengine thinking, majority is sometimes not fast enough and a batch of wild-eyed professional typsy-turvystars get in some bad lick before they can be stopped.
And there is the significance of all this for University students: Logical thinkers who see the way clearly through the maze of the entangling present are going to be in demand during the next generation and the educational institutions are going to be called on for leaders. The student of today will find himself on the long end of a wrench with orders to help readjust the disturbing problems which are looming up. A big responsibility in regard to this part in pulling the world through the present crisis safely should be a part of the make-up of every sincere student.

Editor, The Kansan;
The week before the class elections the students walked around the posters supporting one ticket or another, which were pasted on the sidewalks. If some fortunate student stepped on one when the wolves were out, they would be punished and continued on their way to classes. It has been the custom to use the sidewalks for billboards during elections and no one objected to it. Since that time the practice has become more common and together with painting on the sidewalks, to get the students to sign a petition against the cause, give the campus anything but a good appearance.
Possibly a billboard at the entrance to the campus would relieve the necessity for pasting up the hill near the billboard, or providing a need. Certainly our present billboards are both inadequate and unsightly and the campus would make a better appearance with a larger and more neatly constructed billboard. O.P. P
Editor, The Kansan:
We have heard from all sides, of late, a clamorous demand that coal mines should not tarike, because their work is essential to us all. Granting this principle, it has been an inescapable corollary; namely, the miner is so all-important, he should be honored, he should be thanked. If he owes you and me bodily comfort, we owe him comfort in return. It is fully as much our duty—yours and mine—to see that the miner does not sucer in regard to food, clothing, health, and education for his children, as it is his duty to keep us warm, and to encourage employees to see those things? Perhaps; nevertheless it behoves us to know.
Duties are generally mutual. In anything, the obligations of beneficiaries are the heaviest. And by our standards, we are all beneficiaries of the miners.
For us in academic or professional circles, concerned as we largely are with the pursuit of knowledge and with the arts that make life gracious, the responsibility is a double burden. We must be prepared for the spiritual aspects of civilization, has often no material value whatever. So far as material necessities are concerned, we are being carried on the backs of those who are to work at our side, the lint air of cloth-upholstery who risk their lives in unnatural burrowings underground. We receive what they produce; of what we produce they receive very, very little. As the balance stands at preset levels, it is not an aid to their favor. And honest people may their debts.
These considerations must be fac- before we can say that we have even begun to approach the essential problem. P. L.
SHOCKING OUR COMPACENCY
Any feelings of complacency which people may have about popular education in the United States are given a rude shock by figures recently published by one of the faculty of Boston University. It appears that 18 per cent of the children do not go to school at all, and that of the remaining 82 per cent a large proportion are industrial, sectorial, and private school students, the degreeing professor reasonably asks, is the common school, the meeting place for all, poor and rich together, and the boasted nursery for American democracy?
THE MASQUE
The masquerade were fair on that festive night.
One night I danced at a masquerade,
Where all were strange disguise,
And as I awaived to the violin,
Love took me by surprise.
And the dancing throng was gay,
But, oh, I lounged for the hour of hours.
To cast my mask away.
The clock struck twelve in a far-off tower.
And I thought, "The hour is here." But still they clung to their strange disguise.
disguise.
And my steps grew still with fear.
The lights burned dim like fading stars.
And the flowers drooped one by one.
But the I waited long, long years.
ASSISTS THE PROFITEER
Edna: So you've broken with Jack.
Edith: Yes, he was entirely too hard to please.
The masque was never done.—Mary Morsell in the Literary Digest.
Nobody loves the profeiter, though strangely many seem to have no objection to profiteering if a chance to do it comes their way. No matter, therefore, how severe may be the measures taken by the Food Administration, which catches in ruthless exploitation of the public's necessities, his victims will get no sympathy, and never a tear will be shed from other eyes than their own, if as he now threatens, he sends them to jail in addition to firing them. Indeed, instead of hearing protests, he is more likely to be shocked by wander and greet that this hardiness was not shown long ago.
But not all of our troubles as regards food are due to speculators who hoard up supplies in order to make still higher prices already available, but in no small degree to blame for if they would let consent and sense instead of habit guide them in their use of foods not only would the hungry at least be less hungry, but the speculator would find the demand upon which he depends for his profits because that he would have losses less.
This sort of preaching is not directed, of course, at the surprisingly large fraction of the American people who are said by certain investigators to have been nourished already. Except when their state is due to injudicious selection of foods and to bad cooking, rather than the lack of enough to eat as doublest is sometimes the case telling them not to waste food would be the sorriest kind of a jest. But in America, if people there may be, the more does wastefulness on the part of the others become repreensible.
Mental Lapses
Edna: Gracious! How he must have changed since he proposed to you.
"How long will my steak be, waiter?"
—Boston Transcript.
We like to read over this old joke, it recalls such pleasant memories—the answer today would be two and one-half inches. —Truth.
"About six inches, sir."
"Here, have a look for yourself"
said the other, as he produced a much-
folded program, announcing a "grand
opposition" of Lola XI". -Current Opinion
"What did you say was the name of the play?" asked the visitor.
"Darling, I cooked dinner for you all myself, and you've never said a word about it."
He: I can't understand how it is people keep on coming to this sort of show. If you've seen one you've seen them all.
With apathy did the village resident listen to the city visitor's account of the joys and excitement of life in town. "We get everything here that happens," he said. "Why, last week we had the champion brass band here, the week before the greatest trombone-player in the country, and this week we are going to have a great production of the drama, and I know if you that is going to be a real show."
"I would have, dearest, but somehow I hate to be always complaining."—London Bits-Bits.
He: No, I assure you; and I've seen every one for the last fifteen years—Cartoon Magazine.
She: Oh, but some of them are different.
Sambo pondered, and then walked straight into the shop: "Say bass, will you tell how long dat watch will go if you do wind it up? -Tit-Bits.
Sambo, a ducky warrior in the American army, had only recently landed, and was comparing London to the big city of watches. His gaze became fixed on a very shiny watch on a velvet cushion, on which was pinned a card bearing the words, "I'm going to go for eight days without winding."

MURDERING THE LANGUAGE
It is impossible to awe in Japanese. All languages have similar structures. The characteristic of English is the ease with which it is mutilated.
The old-time country spellin' bee did much to lift us from illiteracy. It taught the correct use of letters forming words.
Now we have a Better English Week, the educational world's protest against murdering the language of the land. It is designed to freewear on us in the correct use of words in forming sentences.
Better English Week offers many of the advantages of expensive courses in mental training.
Incorrect, slippid expression in dicates a tendency toward incorrect, slippid thinking.
A movement to abolish to-morrow is now in order. Among all the things that cause abuse to human beings, a mistake to-morrow is probably the worst offender.
Nothing happens tomorrow in just the same way we expect, and in most cases dread. The time we spend in wondering what to-morrow will do, and worrying about it in advenience, if applied to day, would fortify us against the unexpected more difficult times. We are the most uncomfortable place there is to dwell in. Yet most of us live in it most of the time—Life.
