The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kangas to be more versatile than merely printing the news from Kangas; to have a variety of versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be creative; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in art, to serve to the students of the University.

THE WEATHER
Possible showers; Unsettled weather; no warmer.
WHERE IS THE HIKER?
The coming of these fine spring days brings to the student who has been at the University two or three years, the memories of hiking parties and exploring expeditions he has taken with his particular chum or his friends in the days that have gone. It brings the longing to renew old acquaintances with the hills and valleys around Lawrence and to enjoy once again a tramp into the woods or up the Waukaraus.
There is no pleasanter memory than that of the hiking expedition with friends, when studies and work are temporarily forgotten and care and worry thrown to the winds. But what has become of the hiking spirit that used to be prevalent on Mount Oread? Where are the students who delighted in tramping along the Kaw, or exploring the island, or hunting for something new along the valley of the Waukarusa? How many students are familiar with the wooded slopes of Blue Mound, or of the long hill to the southwest of Lawrence? How many have been to Cameron's Bluff for a weinie roast? How many know the location of the haunted house?
Once it was almost a tradition that every student, before leaving Mount Oread to take his place in the world, should become acquainted with these places and should leave the pleasant memories associated with them in his mind as he went from the old school. Why not bring back that tradition? It is a valuable one.
"The kaiser is to be tried and the wife of the crown princess is asking for a divorce from her husband." A year ago that would have sounded like a fairy tale.
Perhaps the man who lies awake two hours after the sorority serenade has passed isn't the individual after all to comment on the charms of music.
The man who thinks the Victory Loan will not succeed is in the same class with the pessimist who said we could never get this country from the domination of the Indians.
VARSITY BASEBALL TUESDAY
The Varsity baseball season at home will begin Tuesday afternoon when the men of Coach Bond will meet the Haskell Indians in a return game at McCook Field.
According to reports of those who
have seen the team, Kansas will be well represented on the diamond this year and should finish high in the Missouri Valley race. The men are working hard to get into shape to win and be a credit to the University and it is up to the students to attend the games and give their support. A big, rooting crowd at every game on MeCook Field this year will do much toward a winning team. Fully 25 per cent of strength is added to the offensive of any team if it is properly backed by the rooters. No team can be a winner if it lacks support.
Be on hand Tuesday afternoon and root for the team and keep it up, then Kansas will have a winner.
A new opportunity for a young Wallingford has appeared with warm weather and reports that Lawrence water is worse again. Any small boy who sets up a pop stand in the gymnasium ought to be able to make his fortune.
When you carry your hat in your hand so that it will not blow off and all of a sudden the wind blows it out of your hand and you have to chase it all the way down the golf links, isn't it a grand and glorious state of consciousness?
KEEP SPOONER QUIET
To have to go to Spooner on a nice Spring day is bad enough, but to have some one continually whisper and buzz as you try to dig the required material from a dry book, makes the circumstance at least 50 per cent worse.
There seem to be a few students in the University who either believe in in the most extreme degree of personal freedom, or else have not progressed far enough along to get over their high school tricks. Spooner Library should be unique in its quietness. It should be literally a mental retreat. Perhaps some people do not realize this. If not it is time for the information.
--pre mix with the fraternity? And even fraternity with fraternity in an informal way? Is this the democratic ideal that we wish now to commemorate?
The treaty in its final form will contain 70,000 words, according to newspaper reports. This statement will probably start some fanatic to trying to determine the actual cost per word.
It is said that the best way to study is to study, but how impractical this theory seems to be on a warm spring night.

Editor Daily Kansan:-
It is to be observed also that there are other places where the work of the Red Vigils might be directed with more justice than on a foreign junior. Many men on the Hill condemn the recent affair because they feel it was unjust and not because of the work itself.
The recent activities of a band of students assuming the name of "Bee Vigils" in punishing a foreign student who is a proved junior for not wearing his freshman cap seems to be a high example of misdirected activity.
The greatest source of injustice of course is that the man is an upper-classman. The so-called Red Vigils seemed more willing to take the word of an uninformed underclassman that the man was a freshman than the written information of Prof. Engel that the man was a junior.
In short judging from the work of the Red Vigils last year there is reason to believe that the gang which worked this year is not the original Red Vigils at all but merely a group assuming this name.

Memorial Comment
Editor Daily Kansan:—
As a fitting Memorial for our heroes why not have a Student Loan Fund?
Students who were in need of financial aid to come to the University, could borrow a reasonable amount for a long time at a low rate of interest. When the loan was applied for, an agreement could be made between the student and the University whereby he would pay back the principal with a certain per cent of his salary gained from employment after leaving school. The interest could be paid yearly, say at the end of the summer vacation.
Many other schools have adopted this system and it has proved very successful. It has been used to a very limited extent here and for those who have taken advantage of it, it has shown its worth. Instead of helping just a few why not help hundreds of men and women, who otherwise would have to go to our unit school. Many students would be encouraged to come to the University, and in this way it would be of more service to the state.
Surely this would be for the greatest interests of democracy, for the principles of which our heroes gave us. Can we not carry on the good work?
If the farmers of the state can be helped by long time loans why not carry the reform to the young people who wish to get an education.
An Interested Student.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Plans are under way to make the north entrance of the Administration Building the largest building entrance on the Hill. A road will be built up to this entrance in the years to come but this cannot be done while McCook Field is where it now stands. If a road is built through that part of the Hill it will cause the visitors to see the worst part of the campus and McCook Field would be a bad entrance for K.U.
The University of Kansas should have a campus which is more beautiful than the present one. A stadium for the University would remove one of the sore eyes to the present campus. McCook Field is one of the worst looking stands any University of size has and should be removed.
If the new stadium were built as planned it would do away with McCook field. and thus kill two birds at one shot. These are but few of the reasons why K.U. should have a stadium as a memorial but ones which have not been touched upon at present in Daily Kansan communications.
For a Stadium.
Editor Daily Kansan:-
Is not the idea that appeals to most of us as a fitting memorial something that while serving the living is a true expression of what the boys over there fought and yes some of them died for? They died that democracy might live, those boys of ours of Kansas and K.U. and I wonder if they were to come back to us now, whether they would not prefer to see a student union building put up that would bind us as a student body closer together as a truly democratic body. How much do the non-fragrant peo-
It seems mere irony that we ever anything which will not help us to a truer democracy here at K.U. It is being utterly blind to our own shortcomings to commemorate the spirit of democracy without first trying to give it a material boost right here at home. So I say let's have a University Community House. For the central feature of this House let us have a large cozy lounging room with a big fire-place; magazines, a piano, cozy rockers and a sweet wholesome, sociable woman for a house mother with whom the students would love to chat as they dropped into the house. An open house for all, a University home where, anytime, a wandering freshman might find solace, busy jujunis advise, a place where anyone could come and a place where anyone could come and even a rallying ground, a pop center and a place to discover new material of first class order instead of having to force old faithfulness into every office.
One of the reasons why we are so wild about dancing is for the simple reason that there is nothing else to do where we can all be together. We could have a good dance floor onond and the cafeferia's investment room and a war trophy room could be incorporated in the plan also.
I'll bet my next months alliance that the boys who will be with us next year and who have fought overseas would sure root for a University Community House. If their wishes do not go then who is this memorial for anyway?"
A Junior.
