Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones. Belle. K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Kansan sims to picture the undergraduate life of so many students, further than merely printing the news by standing on campus. To play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be humble; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL, 23, 1919.
THE WEATHER
K. U.'S. BASEBALL SPIRIT
Partly cloudy tonight and Thursday; much colder tonight; possibly frost.
Kansas lost a baseball game Tuesday and but few of the students knew the result of the game until the Daily Kansan came out Wednesday. The loyal fans regret the loss of a game but regret more the way K. U. supported the team.
Coach W. O. Hamilton invited alf of the sororites to attend the game and only a handful of women turned out. Chancellor Strong was scheduled to hurl the first ball but did not appear.
The University cheerleader was there, but he had no one to lead. The cheerleaders have been criticised in the past for the K. U. spirit, but apparently the blame must now revert to the students themselves.
--matic Club got busy, and erected another uninsightly sign board at the entrance of our campus. But the recent Women's Student Government Association elections brought the entire campaign to a climax. Every kind of board was erected and upon it in brilliant colors was splashed the name of enterprising candidates. The corner by the Museum looked worse than any sign board section of Kansas City. Our campus is no more a campus beautiful. It is a campus a la advertisement.
Kansas will have to discontinue baseball if the games are not better attended this spring, according to Coach W. O. Hamilton. Baseball is one of the cleanest sports and one that develops the mind and body. It should be retained as a college sport here, but its retention depends solely upon the attitude of the students in the following games of the season.
New activities are being opened daily to women. A woman has even entered the masculine halls of Harvard as a professor. She is Dr. Alice Hamilton of Chicago and has been appointed assistant professor of industrial medicine.
Dancing instructors have estimated that the end of the war has increased the dancing craze three-fold. Perhaps, then, we ought to attribute the scarcity of entertainment other than dancing at the University to the war or the end of the war.
Legislature Has Laziness Spell—Headline. Yes, spring has come Perhaps they should try sasfafrass.
THE UNIVERSITY BILL BOARD
With the increasing numbers of poster bulletin boards the campus will soon become one great advertising scheme. No longer will the innocent little dandelion and the green grass predominate. Their reign has been disturbed.
The stone bulletin board was deemed sufficient for a time. The class that erected this did a great deal in the improvement of the campus. Then the bulletin board poster crazet set in. A special board was put in for in the Jayhawker a year ago. Then the Dramatic Club got busy, and erected another uninsightly sign board at the entrance of our campus. But the recent Women's Student Government Association elections brought the entire campaign to a climax. Every kind of board was erected and upon it in brilliant colors was splashed the name of enterprising candidates. The corner by the Museum looked worse than any sign board section of Kansas City. Our campus is no more a campus beautiful. It is a campus a la advertisement.
It's not the heat that is making every one sleepy these days. It's the annual spring epidemic of serenades.
The French display the proper spirit in boxing matches. According to news reports, when a fighter is down for the count he is soundly kissed by his opponent until he recovers consciousness.
AND THIS HELPS PEP
This evening at Robinson Gymnasium, the University Y.M.C.A. will give their annual stag. It isn't a money making affair, as the association is spending more than the cost of the tickets for eats alone.
In past years, these get togethers have been recognized as one of the best ways to generate genuine University spirit. They have been beneficial not only because of the many acquaintances each man makes, but also for the reason of this resulting unity
If you want to help yourself and your University, attend the Stag.
Lest ye regret it, oh gentle youth,
these warm Spring evenings when you go
strolling with the fair one through
secluded paths or when you are safely
hidden away from the moon on the
old porch swing, leave your fraternity
pin at home—lest ye regret.
Uncle Sam seems to think the two universal reforms scheduled for July 1 will off-set each other. People won't mind about carrying out the action set down by the prohibition law if they can save a penny on every first-class letter they mail.
IS CENTRAL SORE?
Have you noticed anything wrong with the Lawrence telephone system lately? Have you banged the receiver hook up and down in a vain effort to connect up with central, and at the same time wonder just what you would do in case of a fire?
Now after all there may be a reason for these results. Remember "spring is here" and also that central girls are only human. Maybe they have a date or perhaps the Ford broke down and thus the late return to work. Any way you may be able "to kid yourself along" with thoughts of like nature. It's mighty bad to cuss over the phone, you know.
Colorel Roosevelt was a deeply religious man, and one evening talking to an editor at Oyster Bay, he remarked, "How this world war has clarified our ideas. I know it has clarified mine about religion.
SAMMIE'S CREED
"Before the war, I was inclined to agree with the philosopher who said: "Religion is the experience constituted by those thoughts, feelings and actions which spring from man's sense of desire for control over controlling the universe, and which have, as the center of interest, the cosmic fortune of values."
"But how different is the definition of religion the doughboy has flung us from the trenches, and how hearty is our agreement when he says
" 'Religion is betting your life on the existence of God.' "—Los Angeles Times,
The members of the American army of occupation are reported by a correspondent as having found a nickname satisfactory to themselves. For the time being they are Amarocs—which is a name made up from the first syllables of the American army of occupation and is after the manner of the Anzacs, Waacs and other trench creations. Therefore when reference is made to an Amaroc one is not to imagine a breakfast food or a liniment but one of Uncle Sam's husky soldiers who has spent some time in the Kaiser's country.—Los Angeles Times.
THE NAME'S THE THING
Memorial Comment
Editor Daily Kansan:—
I have not been able to decide on what I consider the best memorial. But I have decided this—that from the amount of comment and agitation more students seem to favor the stadium. I am the typical student who has no ideas, and since the stadium faction is the most enthusiastic, I guess I am in favor of a stadium. In fact, I know it would be the most fitting and worth-worth memorial.
Average K. U. Woman.
Editor Daily Kansan-
Just a word of criticism of a "A Junior" who wrote a communication in the Daily Kansan Monday announcing that he wished to gamble his next month's allowance that the men in the service would vote for a student building in preference to the proposed memorial athletic field and stadium.
I did not know there was a student in the University, who would openly boast that he was a gambler and am ashamed of the communication he wrote. He did not sign his name and was probably ashamed of the article.
I might say as sport editor of the Daily Kansan I have interviewed a large number of the men in the service and have been in the naval service myself and practically every individual advocated the proposed athletic field and stadium as the most fitting memorial to our comrades who made the supreme sacrifice.
Athletics is the primary training of a soldier and a big athletic field and stadium would form one of our most constructive sources of national preparedness. Our military authorities say the best officers and soldiers were the athletes from our colleges and universities. I do not believe there is any question but that practically all of the men in the service favor the athletic field and stadium as the most appropriate memorial.
I agree that the memorial should be dedicated to our comrades who made the supreme sacrifice and I believe it would be a good idea to let the men in the service have the final deciding vote as to the selection of the memorial.
John A. Montgomery,
To The Daily Kansan:—
On the matter of an appropriate memorial for our soldiers I agree with "A Reader" in Tuesday's Kansan. The Community Building would fill a decided vacancy and a need in the life of the Hill, provided of course that it be made practical and comfortable.
Game rooms, reading rooms, smoking rooms, telephone booths, good magazines of fiction, conference rooms for class and organization committees, a cafeteria, a banquet room with kitchen attached, a dance hall with a spring floor at least as good as the one in F. A. U. for Varieties, a general club room with easy chairs and a fireplace, cozy and warm in winters where one can meet friends by appointment and feel at home; these are the things which will draw all students together and make the Hill their home; for the reason that every one will find something in the building to attract him there to spend his leisure moments on the campus.
One objection made to such a building is that there is no room on the campus for it. Why not put it between Myers Hall and Spooner Library, where it would be accessible so every one?
What about a memorial? What shall it be? Upon what shall our decision be based? Several things have been suggested, though bpt two seem to have found many advocates—a stadium and a student community. Much of the comment up to this time appears to be of a partisan nature, for most of the articles favoring each of these plans have given evidence of opinions already formed. This is all right provided that these opinions have been formed after comprehensive and unbiased facts concerning such proposition have been carefully considered. The comments, however, do not appear to have been based upon such consideration. Would it not be well at this time to determine a few principles upon which our choice should be based and then, when all the facts have been presented, determine which form of memorial will best answer the purpose? First and foremost, what it the greatest need in university life at K. U.? Second and subordinate to the first, what form of memorial will be most practicable from the standpoint of (a) cost, (b) utility to the largest number for the greatest time, and (c) appropriateness as a structure commemorating the ideals for which K.U. heroes died? Let's be fair-minded and wait for all the facts and then decide which form of memorial will best answer the above questions.

TOO BAD HE COULDN'T MARCH
United States Senator Howard Sutherland, of West Virginia, tells a story about a mountain youth who visited a recruiting office in the Senator's state for the purpose of enlisting in the regular army. The young man found the young man was sound as a dolls, but that he had flat feet.
The mountaineer looked sorrowful.
"No way for me to get in it, then?" he inquired.
"I guess not. With those flat feet of yours you wouldn't be able to march even five miles."
The youth from the mountains studied a moment. Finally he said: "I'll tell you why I hate this so darned bad. You see, I walked nigh on to 115 miles over the mountains to git here, and gosh, how I hate to walk back!"—Everybody's Magazine.
"I'm sorry," said the physician, "but I'll have to turn you down. You've got flat feet."
