THE WEATHER
TEN TOPICS TALKED ABOUT
This hasn't been such a deadly dull year for K. U. in spite of what pessimists have been telling us lately. The chorus which is singing a dirge for school spirit has been a little previous with the slow music. This year he aroused student spirit as much as any other, and has surely had a larger supply of pep than the 1917-18 term.
No less than ten events of major importance have caused discussion and argument among the students and faculty of the University during the year about to end. Practically every one said "I'm for it" or "I'm against it," in connection with these issues. And when students and faculty take a determined stand on ten separate questions, there is no reason for believing that pep is dead.
The list of disputed points does not include the annual events which cause discussion, such as the beauty contest, the class and school elections, athletic events, the Sour Owl, etc. Here they are;
Officers' Club Raid.
Officers' Club Rard.
R. O. T. C.
Owls and Auditing.
Honor System.
Senate.
Memorial.
Training in Athletics.
Cajucom.
Dad Elliott.
McCanles.
St. Louis advertises itself as "The city entirely surrounded by the United States." Here's an idea for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Why not: "Lawrence, the burg entirely surrounded by the Kaw River, Haskell Institute and the University of Kansas?"
CLARK AND McCARTHY
With the return of "Potys" Clark and Leon McCarthy, Kansas will have a coaching staff for football that will be hard to equal in the Missouri Valley Conference. Clark is very popular with the students and is just the man to create that co-operation needed to win on a football team and which has been lacking in K. U. athletics this season.
Clark will have charge of the Varsity and will be able to give the men the instruction he would give a team and not what he is to told to give them as was his condition when formerly connected with University athletics.
His wide football experience will be of great benefit to K, U. Such experience is greatly desired in a football coach, but counts for little if the instructor does not have the ability and personality to pass it on to his men. Clark's work here has shown that he has the ability to impart what he has learned in the game on to the men. He has played with better men while in the service than he worked with even while at Illinois. He was a good man when he enlisted, but should be much better now.
McCarthy developed confidence in the freshmen and instilled the idea that working together is a factor of paramount importance in football. He taught his men co-operation and they went onto teams with McCarthy's ideas. With men coming to Clark's teams coached the first year by McCarthy, K. U. will be a big factor in the race for the Missouri Valley championship.
The University is proud of Clark's record here, and since he has been in service. He made the all-A. E. F. football team. K. U. will welcome him back again as he comes to us as one of our own.
The soldier who said his greatest shock since the armistice was to find the women of America had gone back to tight skirts, need not be surprised. Women always celebrate by going on a clothes-spree.
K. U. WOMEN ADOPT UNI-
FORM
For several years American colleges have agitated the matter of uniform dress for women students, but the women of the University of Kansas have had the extreme sagacity and good taste to voluntarily adopt a uniform for school wear. The costume which they have chosen is unique and distinctive. It is attractive, and permits of many variations as to hue and design, and yet withal, it is a uniform, and no one will deny it. It is universally evident on the campus.
Whether the sleeves should be left flowing or gathered in at the wrist is momentous, and the fact that all colors have been used so many different times worries the women considerably. Just how to get one that is original is a problem, and yet one sees a supremely distinctive and chic uniform each day. They are being turned out at an amazing rate, and within the next week, every woman in school will doubtless have been supplied. University women will be easily identified over the state this summer, because they will be wearing the uniform of their own choice and design.
Feminine K. U. has stepped out on masse in the brilliant sweater with the ruffle around the waist.
There is some discrepancy in the statements that there will be a great shortage in harvest labor throughout the wheat belt and that thousands of soldiers are going to find that they are out of a job. If both are true they should counteract each other and both statements are being made. There has never been a time when a great deal of wheat has been lost on account of lack of labor and there should be less reason this year than in many former years. But the great scarcity is made every year in the same way and now it seems time to get at the truth of the matter.
LABOR SHORTAGES
While the old grads and city sport writers are handing it to K. U. students for the lack of school spirit there is one sport follower outside of the University that they will have access to: a real estate agent and insurance man of Lawrence. Although he never attended K. U. Mr. Blair is always on McCook when a contest of any kind is held and he is always boosting for K.U. He has officiated as a judge in several tennis tournaments this spring and is working for the team harder than a majority of the students.
We thought Wilson had something up his sleeve when he asked for the repeal of the luxury tax.
With the steady increase of organizations at the University, the only way to be identified and different is no organization jewelry whatever.

One generous alumni suggested that $10,000,000 would be an appropriate sum to spend for a memorial. The memorial committee should consult him as to the best means of raising the probable $250,000.

Campus Opinion

Editor Daily Kansan:
The figures of Prof. C. C. Williams explaining the cost of construction of the proposed memorial stadium for the University conclusively show I believe that a suitable athletic field is a logical and beneficial measure and I believe is the most logical and beneficial memorial we could possibly erect to our heroic soldiers.
In the first place all the final costs of the stadium as proposed by Professor Williams should be reduced by half as we do not need a stadium that will seat more than 10,000 persons at present because we do not need a stadium larger than the McCarran Stadium or less than 10,000. It should be built in sections so that new additions can be added when needed.
Taking the unit cost of the Drake stadium and the Iowa State College stadium here in the Missouri Valley region, doubling and doubling the total that we would have money left out of $250,000. According to Professor William's figures the Drake stadium seating 10,000 persons cost only $2,000. The Iowa State College stadium with a seating capacity of 5,600 cost only $23,000.
The unit cost of such large stadiums as those at Yale was only $7.35 per seat. It is only common sense that by spending as high as $25 per seat we could build a stadium for $250,000 here. By spending this sum on a stadium we would be spending more money than the amount of money per unit seat than all the exception of but one at New York College.
The recent criticisms of the University in the Kansas City Star deplored our alleged bad social conditions and deplored that we for the time being did not have the old time school spirit that comes with winning athletic teams. It shows that the old grads take more interest in our athletic teams than any other one, and our team is of the best Clark's to be head coach next year, with con McCarthy back and a new coach for basketball and track. We have better prospects for winning teams next fall than ever before.
It would therefore seem only Dicale to me that we erect proposed athletic field and stadium which stands for virile manly strength of the soldier and athlete. We need outdoor air and exercise. I have sat in an indoor dance room for years or more here and believe I prefer spending a few leisure moments out on the tennis courts and fields.
John A. Montgomery.
WHEN FRESHMEN WILL BE SENIORS
The wooden grandstand on McCook Field will be replaced by a concrete stadium some time this summer. John Montgomery of the Lawrence Gazette has worked on the idea for four years and deserves much credit for putting the stadium across.
Prof. F, H. Hodder will address the G. A. R. at their annual banquet next Wednesday. His subject will be "Americanism."
A good roads campaign for the University campus will be started next year, according to Chancellor Frank Strong.
Missouri lost the annual dual meet to Kansas on McCook Field Saturday through the brilliant work of the Kansas relay team which finished ahead of the Tigers in record time.
"Uncle Jimmy" Green will defend the case of the Owls in the Senate at the regular meeting of the body.
Geo. C. Shad has resigned from the Disciplinary Committee because of the large amount of time the work takes from his business in his department.
The new dean of women advises mid-week dances from 8 until 10 o'clock. The Saturday night dances will close at the same hour and Friday night dances will close at 11 o'clock under the new regulations.
Professor Boynton passed all of his class without the usual final exams. He says he believes in letting the students have a little rest as summer approaches to reward them for their faithful work during the winter.
Dances will be held in the middle of McCook Field between the events in the Kansas-Aggie dual meet Friday. The money will go to the permanent dance hall fund.
The students will vote next spring on the memorial for the men who gave all in the world war, according to announcement by the Senate Memorial Committee.
A negro jazz band will play for the Journalism Jazz. Fred Rigby of Topeka, leading Kansas politician, will be a guest of honor at the party.
K. U. is batting .750 in the Social League and .500 in the Athletic League. The school is coming back, but it has a long way to come yet, according to Prof. I. Seymour Hicks.
HOME FROM THE WARS
This is an intelligent and keen-witted army now coming home from abroad. It had a lot of common sense and vision and insight and imagination when it gave up its Jobs and its civilian clothes and put on uniforms. It has learned a lot since those days. It has precious few illusions. It is not a mere aristocrat and ultimately just what part it played in the war. It knows that our one solid contribution to the conflict was the private soldier.
The men never allowed their minds to be clouded by any of that old-fashioned bunk about the glory of war. They knew that it was just a hard, dirty job—a job that had to be done; and in that spirit they went through with it. They were glad when it was better to wear clothes, fittingter or weariness or desire to quit until they have done completely what they had set out to do.
It seems almost as new and strange to be here again as it was to land in France. We have had an experience that you at home have not had. We are rather too conscious of that, and so are you. We want better jobs than we had before because we know we are better qualified. We hate war and we long for the old days of peace and security.
The hardest week in the year to get through, as you know, is the first after the summer vacation. Consider what we have been through and how much more difficult putting it all together will be. But we know what we have got to do. Be sure that it will be done.—The Saturday Evening Post.
