THE DOWNTOWN BOOSTERS
The business man of Lawrence, just before the opening of school, organized themselves into a Rooting Club with the purpose of furthering University athletics. They went over the field of men available for the position of athletic manager, picked the man who looked best to them, and began a campaign for prompt action. As it happened, the candidate they backed did not get the job. But being business men, the new Rooters' Club does not intend to drop a good thing when it sees one.
"We're coming out to the games this year more than we ever before," said a downtown man. "We want K. U, to know that we're behind its football team to the limit. We would have liked our candidate to win, of course, but just because the folks on the hill thought differently is no reason for us to quit boosting. We want prompt action in the matter and we got it. K.U, has a good man for the job, and we're going to keep right on pulling for a winning team."
With the student body united and pulling for Coach Allen, with school spirit on the hill stronger than ever this year,and with a rejuvenated school spirit downtown,a season of seasons awaits K. U. The end of war conditions means the beginning of a new era in football, and Kansas will be in at the finish this year. The business man will be on the job; now
remains only for the students to show what they think about it by coming out for the games.
IS IT TOO MUCH?
With board $7 a week at all clubs, K.U. finds a real h. c. l. problem in its midst—right under the belt in fact. Never before has the coat of three squares a day struck this figure. Since four years ago, the cost of entree into hash-house society has climbed from an average of 34 a week to the present dollar a day. "High prices" is the reason given by the Association of Boarding House Keepers.
But is an increase to $7 necessary at this time? Many boarding house keepers, members of the associatior, say that it is not, although they have hiked with the others. Board at $2.50 or $6.50 would have easily covered the higher prices, they say. Yet, the raise to $7 was made.
Sixteen University women, occupying the University co-op house, will obtain board and room this year for $20 a month each, doing most of the work themselves. Few co-op boarding clubs expect to funish meals for far less than the "union scale" of $7. Even by eating at restaurants, University students could obtain board at least as cheaply as at the clubs, although restaurants are obliged to make higher charges because of their fluctuating patronage.
It would perhaps be unjust to accuse the Lawrence boarding house keepers of profitering, but to many students, new and old, the situation seems to demand a remedy. Individuals can do the University infinite harm by boosting the cost of necessities which they control, and the authorities should be on the lookout for any stances which have even the appearance of a "hold-up."
An investigation into food costs and the expense of running a boarding house made by a duly authorized joint committee from the city and the University, followed by recommendations to the boarding house keepers, appears to the Kansan to be a logical plan.
BOOMBANG CIGAB
"Phev" You can make such cigars as it appears on "me wenn?" "I can't. That's the one you handed me yesterday."—Boston Transcript.
"My dear sir," said the salesman, courteously, as he handed the customer his package and no change, "you find that your suit will wear like a

And suer enough, it did. The man hadn't worn it two months when it began to look rusty.-Tit-Bits (London.)
“Oh, m'sieu—pensez-vous—er—er—que—er—la—”
"Pardon, mam'zelle—but mam'zellk can speak English to me."
But you shook your head sadly and feared that all this would happen to her. For she was a rushee.
Would it not be cruelty to compel this lovely creature to sleep in the cellar? Who would be hard-hearted enough to make her sweep vast porches and endless sidewalks? Surely no one would despoil her of her gay plumage by borrowing the garments that had so attracted you?
She fluttered into and out of the gym with solicitions upperclasswomen. She crowded past you as you stood waiting in line, but you didn't mind—her smile and her word of apology were sufficient. You imagine her the embodiment of youth and charm, of verve and nerve.
"Why- m'sieu—can't you understand?"
A PRODUCT OF RUSH WEEK
"I am from the south of France, and find it difficult to understand the true Parisian accent." — London Bighty.
That evening you saw her trunks, among great piles of them, being hauled about the streets in trucks. And next day you saw the damsel herself, in a dazzlingly different costumes and a glaringly glossy car, being hauled about those streets. Later in the day you saw her meeting the Greek elect of the other sex, you heard her chatter in confectionery and the theater, you felt her happy, excited presence about the campus.
She sat in the seat just behind you on the train. A creature of the latest coiffure and costume, she was with a boy of the genus freshman, and she herself did most of the talking.
"I just know I'll never live through so many dances and teas," you heard her gush. "Oh, I'm crazy about college already, it's all so exciting. Sue has some dates with Alpha—Alpha something. I do hope they like her. She's a dear girl, isn't she?"
Well-posted sport followers will start in new telling us why it's "Phog" Allen.
Since the increased fraternity telephone rate went in, the boys are learning that from the financial side a real date just about equals a real date.
A riot started in Boston when soldiers interrupted a crap game on the Commons. Rather a serious consequence of gambling on the green.
And the funny part of it was, Senator Johnson's Kansas City speech had been advertised as "non-partisan."
If they don't find a room within the next twenty-four hours, two ex-service men intend to invest in a pup tent.
"But," said the Kansas City student, "in spite of the fact that I save a penny every time I ride on the street." No one else does. That takes more change than the Met. Did
