BAND MEN ASK CREDIT
The marty freshmen who is to sacrifice himself for his class by refusing to wear his cap seems to know the inside of the publicity game. He probably will distinguish himself next by carrying a feather pillow from class to class.
Gym credit for freshmen and sophomores and three hours credit for juniors and seniors is demanded by the band in a petition, signed by every member and presented to the faculty. The petition does not seem unfair. The men do a minimum of four hours work each week, meeting twice weekly. No one can deny that the organization is indispensable. Without it our rallies, athletic games and most University gatherings would be tame, uninteresting affairs. The band is almost as much a part of the football games as the team itself.
In two semesters the band meets from seventy-five to a hundred times. They play at all University gatherings, give two concerts, and play at Commencement exercises. In all they put in from one hundred and fifty to two hundred hours of work, and ask in return only three hours credit. A regular three hour course requires two to three hours work a day, three days in the week for a semester. In comparison it would seem that the band should be given what they ask. Gym credit has been granted to freshmen and sophomores for band work, attendance is compulsory, and the third and fourth year men say that they are due some consideration for the work they do. And they argue that the University of Kansas is practically the only school in the Missouri Valley which does not grant band credit.
The band has the support of every student on the campus and it is hoped that the faculty will see fit to grant the men what they ask, and pave the way to a better band, made possible by the added incentive of credits received for time spent.
An undefeated football eleven may create a dangerous school spirit according to a University professor. But its worth it to beat Nebraska and Missouri.
A WORD ABOUT BLEACHERS
A WORD ABOUT BLEACHERS
Wooden blenders, such as we have on McCook are the poorest and most expensive form of spectators' broches because of their intimate nature. Section by section by section by section and finance merit, along a certain set plan, are the only feasible solution of the problem.
Concrete has risen in price less, proportionately, than any of the other.
building, material, and requires absolutely no upkeep. Concrete is permanent. Wooden bleachers require practically complete rebuilding every five or six years. The University engineers could plan a section so that the field, to be built in section so that the north bleachers could be replaced by concrete while the south bleachers which are still almost as good as new remained in use.
In time, as finances premitted, the entire athletic field could be remodeled through a gradual period, and the University without feeling the pressure that a complete new field all at once would bring, would have a complete set of new bleachers.
King Albert had his mustache pulled an american baby at Niagara Falls rosterday. But it was tame pressure compared with the way some folks hink Mr. Albert will pull Wilson's log or credits before he leaves the United States.
THE LABOR CONFERENCE
Before sailing for Europe the second time last spring, President Wilson expressed his faith in the ability of capital and labor intelligently to solve their difficulties on a just and equitable basis which would bring permanent industrial peace. The answer to this hope of the President's has been a series of strikes and near-strikes which instead of showing a tendency toward reconciliation, have indicated rather, an ever widening Gulf between the employing and working classes.
Daily events in the industrial world are against there having been any intellectual miracle that will enable labor and capital to bury the hatchet. Never-the-less there has met in Washington a council of representatives of capital and labor which promises more for the adjustment of differences than has any previous attempt. The personnel of the conference which has been most carefully selected gives every reason to believe that the settlement of the problems will be arrived at intellectually. At any rate there is no reason to believe that the results of the conference will be anything but a fair index to the intelligence of labor and capital.

On Other Hills
Somewhere he dwells and keeps high company:
A dental clinic for students of the University of Michigan has been opened. The only charge will be for materials actually used. The work will be done by students who have not less than one semester's experience.
At Cornell University the freshmen are compelled to wear gray caps, keep off the grass, stand when street cars are crowded, salute the upperclassmen and refrain from smoking on the campus.
The freshmen at the University of Missouri painted their color and numberson at various places on the campus. They are also instructors to make all freshmen they could catch help to remove the paint. The sophomores armed with paddles immediately visited the gymnasium and were the first year men to do the scrubbing.
At the University of Michigan a handbook has been published which is called "Will You Do It?" It explains all campus traditions to the new comers and encourages them to get into the spirit of the school.
Ohio State University plans to have wrestling as a new varsity sport There will be contests with other schools.

WOODEN HEELS
The humble slice, it appears, is bravely striving to come into its own. At least it has gained a foothold, for it now has more fashionable modes of wear—sustainable and dance pumps—wood plays a dominant part; the heels consist solely of hard maple, satin covered, it may be, but none the less primitive. The reasons for discarding the conventionally flattering hewen product are, briefly, that wood is less expensive than leather and stands up more firmly under pressure. On whether the step is an advance or one of retrogression in the way it must have existed exists a wide difference of opinion—Christian Science Monitor.

Numberless signs of the war, in a literal sense, remain in the devastated lands of France. Some of them the Germans printed and put up when the Allies advanced toward its first objective: "Nach Paris"—"Nach Lille"—"Verboten" and other printed memorials of the advancing army. With them, says a Frenchman, the Germans sent French that were there when the war began and have somehow or other

And then, following the armistry, are the new signs which warn workers or residents of the other must be approached with caution. "It is dangerous to dig in these ruins," says one such sign: or "Do not push this wall over," says another, meaning that unexploded ammunition is probably hidden and to be discovered by the signalists the sign puts up as the tide of invasion was swept backward, newer signs than those of 1914, and telling the troops, for example, that here is a place where gas masks must always be ready to put on at any instant's risk, because they could blow war in the signs that have been left over from one phase to another. — Christian Science Monitor.
