INCURITY, DAILY, KANSAN
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of students, but rather than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University encourages to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be caring; to have problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university, to the students at the University.
THE WEATHER
SPIRIT IS RETURNING
The old K. U. spirit is gradually coming back and manifesting itself, but the return is slow. There was a fairly good sized crowd at the double dual track meet on McCook field Friday afternoon, but the turnout should have been much larger. There was the usual lack of feminine faces among the rooters, although in nearly every other school in the Missouri Valley the women do not fail to turn out to watch athletic contests. In some Valley institutions the feminine rooters are just about as much in evidence as are the men.
Both men and women must co-operate to revive the old K. U. Rock Chalk spirit and bring the old pep back to Mount Oread, as jt was before the war. The cheerleader is willing and ready to do his part, but he must have a real crowd of enthusiastic rooters to come back strong. It is up to the men and women of the University to co-operate with him and attend every athletic contest they possibly can.
A BRAVE ATTEMPT
Not only should the University students do their share, but the professors also have a duty to perform along this line. It is true that they are a busy lot, these K. U, profs, but it is also true that they do not attend the University athletic contests as they should. Many of them do not even have the right spirit toward the athletic contests and regard them as a necessary evil. This attitude will inevitably make them unpopular with the student body and they will be unable to get the co-operation of the students in the classroom as a result. Many of the K. U, faculty members should be congratulated on their active interest in athletics, but the fact remains that these live wires are in the minority.
The student who usually gets things right says that the telephone service is like a 40-year-old joke, too bad for words.
Most people admire a person who is not afraid to take a chance. But the whole world applauds when he is brave enough to stake his life on the outcome. Such is the case of Harry Hawker.
Starting off alone across the wid Atlantic with only sufficient food and provisions for a week and without making any provision for being picked up in case of disaster, the British aviator almost succeeded in his daring attempt to be the first to cross the ocean in a heavier-than-air machine. Only engine trouble prevented him from traveling the last few miles which would have won for him not only the big prize money, but undying fame as well.
Aside from demonstrating conclusively that it is possible to make a continuous flight across the Atlantic Ocean, Hawker has shown himself to be a man willing to dare anything in the purse of an ideal.
The time for the wafting of the mellow tones on the light spring air by uke and guitar artists has arrived. The early retirer has no chance near the campus.
THE LAST LAP
Some of us have already become conscious that a mighty effort must be put forth in the last few moments to reach the tape in record time. We are beginning to realize more and more the necessity of getting across. The final test is almost here. Are we going to finish the race with a final burst of speed and come out with飞行 colors, or are we going to fail miserably on the home stretch? It will all depend upon the previous preparation.
Many students entered the University this year for the first time, others felt that it was their last appearance, while the remainder were running the race for an education in a steady fashion. /Little thought was given to the obstacles that would have to be overcome, nor of the necessity of another race. Their only thought was the reward at the end of the last lap of this year's relay.
Those who are not finishing this year and have not been making good time in the first few laps of the relay, had better begin laying plans for a sprint. Don't feel that when this year's quizzes are over you are through. Don't let your past mistakes worry you, nor the possibilities after July 1.
Get your mind fixed definitely on something to do this summer. A good position, a profitable vacation, summer camps, or the opportunity for summer school is good preparation. Anything but loafing on the job. Get ready for the last lap.
The Salina Union suggests a town of bulls for the "Red Flag" movement.
THE NAVY'S VICTORY
The American navy, through the bravery of one of its commanders, has won the honor of making the first trans-Atlantic flight against the strong competition of English and Australian aviators. While this blazing of the first air trail may not be so important as the first crossing of the ocean by Columbus, yet it does mark a new epoch in our relations with foreign nations.
Previous to this accomplishment, nine days were required to make the journey from New York to Liverpool. Now it may be made in twenty-six hours which puts the European market at our very doors. Thus America's deprived of the isolation and security which the Atlantic so long assured her but this loss will more than be made up by the increased commerce and trade which will now grow up with Europe.
The engineers, besides becoming efficient jazz hounds, are now getting to be musicians. They even set their school yell to music.
RECONSTRUCTION AND THE COLLEGE
As a soldier, the college man was more than able to hold his own against other men. This is amply proven by the large number of them who either attained commissions or won decorations for bravery in action. Now, with the war at an end, he has an even more important part to play than before. Out of the vast work of reconstruction there has arisen a great demand for highly educated men
capable of taking a leading part in the giant industrial enterprises and in the enormous work connected with the reorganization of our commerce and industry.
The American college, as the highest institution of learning, is called upon to furnish the leaders for this vast work while the men are responding to the appeal by pursuing their studies with increased vigor and interest. The American college has always furnished the leaders in every line of endeavor and it is fully living up to this ideal now.
It is a sad blow to see making the world safe for democracy turned into making the world safe for Milwaukee.
For the last two months the average student in the University has been lazily floating with the current, doing for the most part only the things that were of immediate importance. But now as examinations loom up in the distance, he finds himself in a swift dangerous whirlpool. He sees ahead of him the shoal of failure unless his efforts are more than doubled, and he may steer to one side and obtain a better grade.
PLACING THE BLAME
In many cases this student will blame his instructor for the amount of work he now finds before him. With the suspicion of the detective, he tries to catch the instructor by comparing the length of lessons assigned now with those of the past. He reasons that this leader of his course made a poor calculation when he outlined the study at the first of the term, and now discovers he must tack on extra pages in order to get through the book.
Perhaps the student in his little boat should be informed that it is only his fault if he now faces the formidable rocks ahead. It is hardly fair to lay the blame, at least all of it, on the professor. The moral; if there is one to such a realization, is to start things right next fall and hold the pace throughout the year.

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:-
Every story in the Cosmopolitan and Hearst's Magazine is clothed with suggestiveness. Most of the writers are of the medicine sort who write with a semblance of brilliance but whose ideals are so low that they picture the wrong roads of humour as attractive, who can be horrible things below the glamour of vice are hired by Mr. Hearst.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine and its allay, Hearest's probably have a greater deteriorative influence on the morals of American college students than any other publication. Snappy Stories and similar magazines are of a lower grade than the Cosmopolitan, but few college students read them because their appearance is too trashy and too cheap.
The Cosmopolitan Magazine has an enormous circulation among the students of the University, according to local newsletters. Bob men and women read the magazine but put up and full of voluminous illustrations. They do not realize the dangers lurking beneath its brilliant "pretty girl" covers.
I don't believe any of the parties concerned have moved from their original point of view because of the little wave of student sentiment that has been stirred up. I doubt whether Ms. Marsh will speak about our desire to keep him here, but have been simply passing a few commilary remarks.
In the past few weeks, we have read some very interesting discussions on the advisibility of retaining Mr. McCanles as director of the University band, but aside from bringing the student before the student body, what has been done?
Editor Daily Kansan:-
Sophomore.
Nothing is more destructive to the interest of the student body than to start something and not carry it out. Every one knows the force of a well organized band in the development of student spirit and pep, and we know the ability of McCannies to organize this group. In a term of school is quickly growing to a close. It is high time we lay aside our pen and paper, and do something.

Responding to false alarms is not confined to the local fire department. Many students follow false alarms on the Hill in everyday life.
The freshman who says he wears a cap only to protect his complexion from sunburn is with or again. But that ain't all.
Rain and a Sunday night date at the same time is too much for me K. U. men.
What a fine chance Hawker, the Australian aviator has to start a tire manufacturing company, a new kind of breakfast food or appear on untutuana platform. Wide wide challenge. Don't the easiest thing to obtain.
Among the strange things noticed on the K.U. sailorettes sleeve are their ratings of machinist's mate, fireman and ship's cook.
What will we do for the snake bite remedy this summer?
Wonder how Hawker feels after reading editorials of his work in which he is mourned and praised?
Now Baker comes out with a story telling how he and Foch were planning campaigns when the armistice was broken, like some more, "Me und..." stuff.
Headline says, "C. A. Castle Assistant to Spanish Embassy." So Castle's in Spain?
"Positions open." "Lost—Fraternity pin." These quotations from the classified advertisements columns express the two greatest activities of students this time of spring when school is nearly out.
According to reports, a student in the department of home economics was sent to Winfield to "calculate dietaries for patients in the asylum." The inmates, no doubt were disappointed to learn that student cooks were going to experiment on their dietification as it is without having their digestive system put in disorder by aspiring cooks from the University of Kansas.
SPRING ELECTIONS
The poor, timid thing from a far off village sneaked along to class—with lowered eyes and rabbit-like attitude. She was alone in a big culinary restaurant where she were strolling, but she was uncoupled. Who knows what bitter thoughts passed through her one-cylinder mind? Unknown to her, were the wiles of rah! rah! boys and the wildest Varistias held no terrors for her.
On this particular morning as she was about to burst in upon the usual chapel she heard, as in a dream, a deep voice called out, "say there Bess, wait a minute," and her crown slipped over her own ground grippers not even her best boy friend" at home had ever called her any less than Bessie. She raised one eye, her north-eastern one, and gazed in holy angels at the "he" before her. Zip! her little world went crashing to earth as children came to greet her. He had called her "Bess"—what a juicy bit for the home town.
"I say Bess, do a mili favor?" Bessie gulped manfully. "I'm running for an office for spring election, and I thought maybe you could line up some of your cottage girls for me, and help me out. Me. Out." Bessie did that job." And with a beaming smile and a beautiful nod he was off.
And Bessie, violet-like Bessie, got so excited that she forgot all about singing the Doxology in chapel. She could hardly wait to get home to the cottage, but she didn't know what might have rattled into her mail box. Then when she found the girls she confided in tones deep with thrill, the episode of the A. M., "And," she concluded proudly, "guess I am around town, the family — who are all goes to prove that hope springs eternal in the human breast."
The fateful day of election arrows, and so, early in the day, "Sister Bessie" lined up the faithful cottage girls in front of the polls, each clutching her Student Forum dues. Proudly they all voted for Bessie's new frien', that human marvel who called her "Bess."
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
Not many moons after Bess again saw her hero as he was escorting another woman to the movie palace. In girlish delight and pride she giggled out "Hello Bill." Bill assumed that air of college indifference as he murmured to the girl at his side, "Who's your friend?"—The Miami Student.
