The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go farther than merely printing them for their funding. The University will play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be challenging; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in ak, to serve to the University.

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE RETURNED SOLDIER
To those who have been out of school or have had their work seriously disorganized on account of war work, the opportunity for an education is still here. Why cast it aside when the world is pleading for your services, not as an inefficient, untrained person, but as a well developed, highly skilled worker?
The personal advantage of an education is tremendous. The man or woman without a liberal education must begin work much nearer the bottom of the ladder, and the climb to the top will be very slow and discouraging. He probably will never reach the level that he would reach with a better preparatory foundation. He will, therefore, never gain the prestige, and influence that ought to be his ambition to have, and that society has every right to expect of him.
The financial side is perhaps the easiest to grasp and demands careful consideration. There are many good paying positions open to young people that are no doubt very tempting to the person who apparently doesn't have the means to finish his school work. But statistics have shown that one year in a school of preparation in early life is worth several in the school of experience later, so far as income is concerned.
You have been granted a certain amount of credit for experience in the army. The summer school session presents to you the opportunity to catch up with your class, and round out a year's work.
The case is before you to decide. The opportunity for an education is great, the returns will fully justify the effort, and above all the world is demanding the very best that you can give. Are you going to heed the call? Make your decision now, but think it over seriously.
Don't criticize the senior who is letting his work slide too severely. In view of the fact that he may starve next year, he wants to enjoy life while it's possible
THE ATHLETIC SITUATION
The visit of Dad Elliott to the University of Kansas has been an excellent thing for the students and faculty, and some good is bound to come from it. Dad had given everybody on Mount Oread something to think about. He hit the nail on the head time after time in his short stay on the Hill, and many good resolutions came as a result of the series of meetings.
Dad came with a message. He declared against a great many practices now the vogue, not only in this University, but in others all over the country. He denounced cigarette smoking and improper dancing in colleges. He declared against studying on Sunday. But one thing that created perhaps more commotion than any one thing was his statement of his stand with regard to intercollegiate athletics.
It has been recognized for years that there is something vitally wrong with the present system of intercollegiate athletic competition. Only the men who are physically fit get the benefit of athletic training, while those who need the exercise must do not have the opportunity to play, because they are not good enough.
But there is something more. Dad quoted one of the most prominent physicians in this country as saying that the college man who had participated in three or four years of athletics was not good for anything in later life and the length of his life was cut short because of this fact. Statistics show that there is something more than mere talk in this statement.
Probably Dad exaggerated the real significance of the idea, but the fact remains that something should be done about it. Such a thing is very serious and some plan should be worked out so that it could be determined accurately just how many years a man can compete in college athletics without being harmed. Intra-mural athletics are helping a great deal to bring about a more ideal situation, whereby more students can exercise their bodies and rest their minds from study, but the thing should be looked into more closely.
As the Peace Conference proceeds it is noticeable that there is all the time less criticism of the League of Nations. The people had to be swung slowly, but they eventually had to agree with the thing which the times demand. Revisions were demanded and revisions were made accordingly as far as was reasonably possible. We need fear no longer that the League will not succeed.
After they have been graduated from the University, a number of students of the School of Law should certainly qualify for positions on the Kansas State Board of Review. Their loyalty and unfailing support of the movies is beyond comparison.
HOW TO EAT
How much we owe to the hash-houses, boarding clubs and fraternities! Before we came to K. U. we had been trained at home in ordinary table manners and the etiquette of eating. But, ah, the things that we have learned in the association with our fellow students at the dinner table. Should our parents visit us this spring for mothers' and fathers' day, they could not but be impressed by the new accomplishments of their offspring.
Every student has his own individual benefits, but here is a small list that almost every student who lives with twenty or more other students for nine months a year, has in common:
He can talk so loud that no matter how many people are talking at the same time, or how many victrolas are running, his voice will be heard distinctly above the rest.
at the other end of the table.
at he is, in fact, a new man from the one who left home. How glad father and mother will be to see the changes that their sons and daughters have made in themselves as a result of the refinement and culture of their University friends!
He can eat faster than any of his fellow students and thus often gets a second helping.
He can reach farther than the longest-armed hired hand back on the farm.
Instead of playing button, button, who's got the button, the University students should play money, money, who has the S. A. T. C. money.
He can sing a tenor that is absolutely different from the tenor that everyone else is singing.
at the other end of the table
He can absolutely banish every serious thought from his head while at the dining table.
He has an entirely different way of managing his fork from any of his neighbors.
He has developed a trading instinct from his constant swapping of liver for bacon or vice-versa, with the man
Seniors who have been seeking four long weary years for knowledge are now entering a still greater quest; that of job-hunting.

Campus Opinion
A. "Senior," writing in the Memorial Comment column of the Kansan, lays emphasis on the very important fact that in discussing the memorial question we should pay strict attention to facts; but the contribution fails to follow his own advice. The "Senior" is mistaken in his statement that the cost of the Yale Bowl was "in the millions of dollars;" the contractors estimate of the cost was 300,000 dollars; and the final cost did not far exceed this figure. This stadium, the finest in the world, seats 60,000 persons; making the cost per person five dollars. Coach Hamilton estimate on the basis of a mere dollar per person, based on other similar stadiums recently erected. Giving the adequate seating capacity of 25,000, this brings the cost to 250,000 dollars. Surely we can build as fine a stadium as Yale's, if on a smaller scale, for twice the unit cost.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
Furthermore, who can question but that students and visitors would rather watch sports from an artistic and well built stadium than from the present ramshackle and dangerous structure that now libels McCook field and the university? Did the "Senior" ever sit through a football game on a cold day, with the wind whistling through the seats? Can any one who has done so deny that it would have been much more pleasant and more conducive to large crowds had the seats been protected from the jev biasts?
K. U, needs a stadium, and it needs a student union house; but the need for the stadium is more immediate. C. C. N.
Editor Daily Kansan:—

Speaking of memorials, where are the people who favor a Commons? There seems to be a good many of them,-we hear them talking about it on the Hill, but few appear in print. Meantime, the stadium propagandists are busy, apparently quoting everyone who favors that form of memorial. In fairness, let us consider the case of the Commons.
At present, there is no place on the Hill where students may have committee meetings, or get together to read or talk or simply to have a good time. Any student who wishes to talk to any other student must either back up against a wall out of the crowd, or simply walk and walk until the conference is finished. When several students, say a committee, need to talk over plans, they must find some unoccupied classroom for the meeting. K. U. is too large a university for that sort of thing. There should be some place where students can get together.

Then take the matter of a cafeteria which would be included in the Commons. The cafeteria in Myers Hall has filled a very real need for students who want well-cooked food but do not have a regular boarding place such as a fraternity or club, and for those who must stay on the Hill for lunch, and to whom time-saving is an item. And this cafeteria is absolutely closing June 1, 1919, because Myers Hall is needed for religious meetings and other activities for which it was originally planned. The Commons would supply this need of a cafeteria. Features of the Commons would be committee rooms, a rest room, reading room, and a large gathering room for parties, "Stunts," and dances. It would provide a K.U. center and be much more representative of all phases of college life than a stadium, which represents only one class of students. Those who died in the Grat War who from every walk of College life.
