THE LLOYD GEORGE-NORTH
CLIFFE FEUD
A bitter feud between David Lloyd-George, the British Prime Minister, and Lord Northeliffe, England's foremost publisher, gives every indication of becoming increasingly interesting.
Lloyd George, flushed with his victory in the recent election and with his success at the Peace Conference, has refused to accede to the demands of Lord Northcliffe for representation at the Peace Conference, even going so far as to denounce Northcliffe before Parliament as a man suffering from a diseased vanity and a perverted mind.
The Times replied with a slashing attack on Lloyd-George, accusing him of overlooking reports prepared by experts and ending with this significant slogan: "Statesmen may come and go, but a great newspaper lives on forever."
Both of these great men have risen from the ranks, and both have had hard struggles to attain their present high positions. The result of their struggle will show which wields the most influence in a modern state, a great statesman or a great metropolitan newspaper. May the best man win!
Someone visiting in the city for the first time remarks that the chief difference between the city and the country is that in the country people listen to the Victoria when it is played, but in town they only start talking the louder.
The average citizen who will begin to use his fly swatter industriously in a week or two will be aided and encouraged by the American soldier who is beginning a war on flies. The army is insulting traps, fly paper, and swatters at all camps.
AS TO YOUR PURPOSE
A professor told his class the other day that he favors a reform in education whereby only the chosen few who really want to learn something should attend the University. He estimated that enrollment, in that class would drop from thirty to half a dozen.
Sounds extreme, doesn't it? But considering the epidemic of going to the movies and reading twice-a-month magazines and cutting classes, the statement does not seem to be badly exaggerated. A casual observer might judge from present conditions that students paid their train fare to
Lawrence for the purpose of seeing Theda Bara in a different theater, eating Swiss peanuts at a different soda fountain, and reading Snappy Stories in a different pong swing. University people have fallen into the sad habit of spending their time doing just what they can do all the rest of their lives in the old home town.
The folks who came to learn things they could not learn at home need to be reminded of the fact before spring fever has led them so far astray that they cannot make up the time they have lost.
Don't think you are so smart if he sent you a wonderful corgeau of violets for Easter. He may have been over behind the Engineering Building. They grow wild there.
--ones who say to circumstances, "So you will break me, will you? You will see. I am going to see this thing through. I am going to get such strength from overcoming my difficulties that they will make me."
If the natural lethargy of the student species continue to increase, it might be wise to fit up luxurious restrooms in each building on the Hill as a memorial for our heroes in the war.
UNNECESSARY MOISTURE
Spring has come, but drinking water for tired thirsty students on the Hill has not.
It was very nice to have the city put in a new water system, but how much nicer it would be to have that system supply the necessary liquid to University people this spring. We can't have distilled water because it costs too much. We can't have city water because it isn't the best in the world to drink.
What are we going to do, anyway,
as the mercury creeps upward? That's
easy—be a camel and drink a sufficient
quantity before leaving home.
Only one thing, apparently, will make men late to dinner, and that is a baseball game.
At present more than 60 per cent of the oil of the world comes from wells in the United States.
TENNIS COURTS NEED CARE
The tennis courts at McCook field have not been fixed this year.
Many of the students and the faculty would like to take advantage of the long spring evenings, but are unable to on account of the condition of the courts. More work will be required than usual to get them into shape, but the interest of the students in the game should warrant them being put into condition by the athletic association.
As a harbinger along with the first obin and that tired feeling, let us also expect the spring seed catalogue.
THE PROPER IDEA
The old idea of education was to come to college and endeavor by all possible means to inhale knowledge from books. If at the end of a college course, a man knew how J. Caesar died, the color of Cleopatra's hair, knew that E. Pluribus Unum meant people who speak familiarly of evolutionary society, he was the highest product of education.
This system produced a thing with a head full of facts, the spirit of a fish, and with a physique that couldn't stand a hard winter in the tropics. As a rule it parted its hair in the middle, toted its handkerchief up its sleeve, preferred Endymion to Dead Eye Dick, spoke of football as a horrid, brutal game, and otherwise carried all the ear marks of the personification of the sweet discussion of the spontaneous transmutations of radium or the price of herrings in Africa he could hold his own, but in anything rougher than a checker match, he was a lost dog.
There are four sides to every man's life, the mental, physical, moral and social. Any man who has developed along one of these lines at the expense of the others, has failed to make of himself a well-rounded man—The Tar Heel, North Carolina.
The will of God respecting us is that we shall live by each other's happiness, and life., . . . Men help each other by their joy, not by their sorrow. They are not intended to slay themselves for each other, but to strengthen themselves for each other.
—Ruskin.
FOR ONE ANOTHER
Editor Daily Kansan:—
Is the University of Kansas to be handicapped longer, just because the University Senate believes an athletic field and a stadium would not be an appropriate memorial for the University men who gave their lives to their country?
Memorial Comment
2. Only the men students, and especially the athletes, would be benefited by a stadium.
The Senates reasons for not wanting the stadium are said to be:
1. A stadium could only be used part of the year.
Perhaps here are other reasons, but they are no doubt, of the same childish nature.
To be sure the stadium could be used only part of the year, but the students that such an improvement would bring to the University would remain the entire year. The athletic department of the University would be greatly improved and the stadium would be one of the biggest boosts possible for K. U.
No doubt the stadium would only be used by the men students but there isn't a woman in the University of Kansas that isn't a supporter of all the athletic affairs of the school. If a consensus of opinion of the women students were taken, the esteemed senate would find that they want a stadium. After all, the memorial is to be for the men who have made the supreme sacrifice and not for the women students in the University.
Surely the students opinion can not be so senseless that it should be ignored, especially when the business men of Lawrence are backing the movement for a stadium. They realize what a stadium will mean to the University, and are willing to pay their money to help make K. U. the University of the West. They are confident too that a building such as the senate are proposing for a memorial will never do this.
Wake up, senate. The students demand a suitable memorial for their comrades and that memorial is a stadium.
Editor Daily Kansan:-
Student opinion seems to be about equally divided as to which would be the best memorial, a Student Commons Building or a Stadium. The Sour Owls have applied the five tests of beauty, permanence, economy, aid to athletics, and utility to their project. Let us compare the two on the basis of these tests.
"We all admit that a postage stamp can be licked. Even at that, you have got to do the job behind its back. But a stamp never knows when it's licked. Placed on a piece of mail, its one object is to deliver the goods at a prescribed destination. And that is exactly what wreck and disaster, it hangs on and never lets go. It sticks until it gets there."—Ex.
First as to beauty. Surely a well-designed building placed in a prominent place on the Hill would be of greater beauty and would be admired by more people than a bowl-shaped grandstand placed where McCook Field now is and where but few visitors would see it. As to permanence, a stone building would last fully as long as a stadium whose large exposed surface would be at the mercy of the elements. In regard to economy, contractors say that a building sufficient for the needs of the student body could be built for considerably less than the $250,000 which a stadium would cost. It would be also of great aid to athletics for the athletic association would profit as much as anybody by the school spirit engendered in this way. The Student Commons building would far excel the Stadium in utility, for it would provide our student body with a place to obtain good wholesome food prepared by experts at a reasonable cost, lodging, and a meeting place where the students could become better acquainted with each other. Besides, a Commons would always be in continuous use while a Stadium would be deserted except in the event of a game.
STICK
Let the students vote on the two plans. That is the democratic way to settle the question.
A. Junior.
How many of us stick until we get there? Circumstances of far less importance than floods and disasters sweep us off our feet. Why? Be cause we haven't the grit and back of a boulder before the sponge before the fight was begun. And say we can't before we have tried to see if we could.
The fellow who never knows he is kicked, whose one object is to deliver the goods, who hangs on through all difficulties is the fellow who has got old man S. O. L. backed up in the corner and the green eye-monster begging for mercy.-The Tar Heel, North Carolina.
The world is full of men and women of this stigma. But those whom we all admire and want to imitate are the
A flea and a fly were discussing the flu, and wondering each of them, what they should do. Said the flea, "Let us fly." Said the fly, "Let us flee." So they flew through the flaw in the flue—Blue and White, Junction, City.
Mental Lapses
A laugh is going the rounds over the answer made to a question by a girl at Polytechnic. The question was:
"Supposing that by some convolution of nature, certain land which now forms the bed of the ocean, was raised above the sea level. What would be the most prominent characteristic of this new landscape?"
RIGHT OF COURSE
And the pretty girl answered:
CAUSE FOR BLOODSHED
William G. McAdoo was commenting on the complaint that the country seemed to take very little interest in further Liberty Loans or even paying up on the old issues."
"well," he said, "what can you expect when so many people are like the girl I overheard at Venice the other day.
'Are we really going to have freedom of the seas,' she gurgled to her escort?
“Yes, but why are you interested?” “Well, I haven’t forgot how they treated us last summer. I don’t think anybody has a right to fence off part of the ocean and then charge you 50 cents to go bathing in it.”
SOURCE OF WONDER.
President Eliot of Harvard was discussing books with a Back Bay ma tron. "I like 'The Three Musketeers,'" she remarked.
"A very good book of its kind," conceded Dr. Eliot, "not a little of it is historically true. And did you read the sequel, 'Twenty Years After?'?"
"Iindeed I did," answered the ma tron, and do you know what impress ed me most about it, all of the prince's letters still have the sam servants!"
Alice Goetz Desires Reorganized System (Continued from page 1)
"The department of physical education should be able to compete with other departments for the interest of the students," said Doctor Goetz. "It can not be expected to be popular when it is on any other basis. Credit given by the department must be the same to students of all colleges, or schools, and count equally as points in the number required for a degree."
In speaking of the openings and need of graduates in this line of work Doctor Goetz said, "The advantage for graduates training in physical education and health administration within the next few years will be very great because the war has brought out the necessity for training of this sort, and the supply of trained workers is now less. Even after the next few years the openings for graduates will still be plentiful as in any other profession and the salaries are as much as most of the other vocations open to college women and even higher in some cases."
Dr. James Naismith, head of the physical education department, who has just returned to the University after two years work in France, further emphasizes the need for college graduates trained in the physical education work. "The army officers have come to realize the absolute necessity of scientific exercise for keeping men in good health, and civilians are beginning to apply this theory. The chances for success for trained graduates in this vocation will be plentiful and advantageous."
There are now seventeen hours of credit work in the department of physical education listed in the catalog but many of these courses have not been given in Dr. Naismith's absence. Classes in these courses will be opened next fall whether any great change is made in the department or not. These courses, however, cannot comprise more than a minor for a college degree.
