The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in charge; to go for further than merely print the news by starting hands-on hubs; to play no favories; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be positive; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

MORE UNIVERSITY PRESS
TICE
The Jayhawk track team, as was expected, placed in each of the relay events at the Drake Relays in which it was entered and made an excellent showing in the face of many other large schools of the middle west.
The team is entered now in the Penn Relay Games at Philadelphia, for the third time in the history of the school. These games are to be held April 25-26 and are probably the biggest in this country.
Not only will the entering of the team in the Penn Relay give the men a chance to compete against the best track material in the country, but it will give the University a chance to gain real prestige in the east. Kansas has, in the last few years, acquired a great deal of standing in the eyes of eastern cities through the activities of individual trackmen who have been entered. Last year a K.U. athlete placed first in the high jump there and another took third place in the pentathlon. These things cannot help but give the easterners a favorable impression of the University of Kansas.
It seems unlike a loyal University student to act as have a few regarding a foreigner attending this institution. Apparently these offenders have assumed premises in order that the conclusion and resulting action of their argument might have the semblance of being just. Such students need a liberal application of common sense.
In years to come students will look at the University war memorial, whatever it may be, and realize it is a big thing, yet the majority of students apparently are taking only a passing interest in the project.
LEAGUE HAS LESS OPPOSI TION NOW
Opposition to the League of Nations apparently has been decreased somewhat by the amendments added to the covenant. The chief of the arguments used against the League have been killed by provisions removing the cause of objections.
For example, those persons who thought the covenant would bind nations for eternity have been silenced on that point by providing that a state may withdraw by giving two years' notice if it has kept its obligations to date. A larger cause of American opposition has been removed by providing that the covenant does not affect the validity of agreements like the Monroe Doctrine.
States will not be so apt to be imposed upon under the amended constitution as it declares that "reduction of armaments shall be made only with the consent of the states themselves," that states need not assume the duties of a mandatory unless they wish to, and that the League shall pronounce no opinion on any matter which "falls solely within a state's domestic jurisdiction."
Objections still remain but they apply as a rule to less important points and details, the amendments having allayed the more important criticisms. Like other great documents, the covener of the League of Nations was not perfect at the start. The amendments have shown that some of the criticism was justified and that the makers of the constitution are fair-minded in working for a workable, just plan.
The dandelion is a beautiful flower after all, isn't it? Let's talk ourselves into believing so, anyway!
If any one has a good idea of eternity it should be the fraternity freshman who tackles a lawn full of dandelions with a butcher knife.
THE VICTORY LOAN AND
THE SMALL INVESTOR
With the avowed purpose of preventing the concentration of the new loan into the hands of the wealthy, Secretary Glass of the Treasury has made the Victory Loan doubly attractive to the small investor.
By issuing two series of notes and making the highest interest-bearing series subject to the income tax, he has made it possible for the small investor to obtain a $4% per cent rate of interest while the wealthy investor has to content himself with $3% per cent interest. Besides this, he has made the loan payable within four years so that the man with little capital to invest may be able to subscribe for more bonds than he could if they were not payable for twenty years as in the case of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
These bonds are the safest investment in the world for they are issued in time of peace by the richet nation in the world.
From reliable statistics just compiled, America can apparently build ships at lower cost than any other country in the world. Perhaps the class of laborers who ride to work in enclosed cars will persist for awhile.
It is to be hoped that the plan of planting trees in the counties of Kansas as memorials to the soldiers and sailors who fought in the war for democracy will be adopted throughout the state.
TREES FOR THE SOLDIERS
From many points of view, trees have distinctive significance as memorials to the men who offered their lives in the great cause. Trees are always symbolic of peace. Literature for countless generations has pictured peaceful growth and development. This war was fought to end war. Trees are an effectual symbol of the righteous peace which will be the outcome of this war.
Trees, again, when grown under difficult conditions—as they need must be in some parts of the state—symbolize the affectionate care and regard the nation and the state look upon those who served in the hour of need.
Finally, trees have been for ages objects of reverence. "The groves were God's first temples." Many early peoples endowed the trees with instincts of paternal protection. To them the trees were the abode of beneficial spirits guarding mankind from the spirits that would wound and hurt and destroy. Today there are few persons to whom a tree does not bring the thrill of immianed disasters but with Joyce Kilmer, who died on the torn fields of France, "Only God can make a tree!" What better tribute to the fighters for democracy—democracy being, as we see it, a fulfillment of the will of Goo—than one of the best beloved objects that God has given?

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:—
It certainly seems peculiar that a town as progressive as Lawrence should have the entire southwest portion of the city cut off from the Hill, with no decent way of getting on the campus except by going clear around on Tennessee Street and then up Fourteenth.
I am sure that more people trance from the south, the first on Louisiana, closed to public use because an overbearing capitalist has secured monopoly of it by some means or another. The second road, a winding one leading through the backyard of the University Campus, with the cinders so full of nails and tacks that one is in constant dread of his tires being punctured, leads out onto Illinois street which has been impassable a large part of the winter due to the deep mud. The third road winds along by the trash piles of the Engineering building and is quite as bad as the second. I would like to know how the people in the south section feel about this—are they just asleep or do they think anyone living south of the hill does not need an education or that he should pay very dearly for it, if he does attempt to get om?

We suggest that the Chancellor designate a Campus Beautiful day in the near future for the purpose of cleaning up the campus and planting more grass and flowers. While everything would have to be supervised by
Spring has arrived and yet our campus is still in a very bad condition. Papers and rubbish of all kinds litter the grounds, the roads are full of hogs, the trees need trimming, in fact, a general spring clean-up appears to be necessary.

OUR COMMON HERITAGE
Written by K. U. Students and Lawrence Pastors.
Bv Warren Pearson
"The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handwork." This great and simple truth that David spoke thrillus as much today as it must have thrilled and of Judue to whom he sang it first.
If ever one felt like lifting his eyes unto the hills it is now. The unfolding time of spring brings new hope and courage to mankind. Spring comes softly and gently to smooth away the rough lines of winter. The sun searches out the hidden places of earth and repeats her ancient miracle of making the world a smiling flower garden.
It is a splendid thought for the opening of spring, to know that Providence makes no distinction among men, that he who has eyes to see the glories of creation, notsirs to inhale the fragrance of the woods, ears to hear the music of the birds is on the same level as every other person. Everything that is in the woods and in the skies, is the common possession of all who have a soul to comprehend the richness of life.
True, some men live in castles,
while other men live in huts; some
men ride in motors while others
ruudge. But down at the bottom of
all this the truly rich man is the man
who understands.
Millionaires? They are few, and many of them unhappy. The material things of earth are trash, and only the great things, have any true value. The gift of Providence to all men in common is that glorious manifestation of spring which calls all men out doors. Verily in these days of peace and prosperity let us lift our eyes unto the hills from whence cometh all good.
