UNIVERSITY INTRA-MURAI BASEBALL
The Hash-House and the Pan-Hellenic Baseball Leagues are scheduled to open officially this week and the Inter-Fraternity League will play its first game Tuesday of next week on Hamilton Field. Probably about four hundred students on the Hill will take part in these games and through them will be given the opportunity for healthy recreation which is essential to good work in the class-rooms.
The revival of this intensive system of intra-mural baseball is a great thing for K. U. in many ways. In the first place, there has long been a complaint that mere inter-collegiate athletics did not give a large per cent of the students a chance to participate in athletics. Intra-mural games were mentioned as a remedy for this evil and a few years ago the University took up the suggestion and started the Hash-House and Inter-Fraternity baseball. The war suspended action temporarily.
Now the system is coming back with a vengeance. Three leagues have been established and everything points toward a successful season for each one. Even now men who haven't played baseball on McCook Field for some time and many who have never done it, are enthusiastic over the game and are practicing almost every afternoon to get in condition.
Intra-mural baseball may serve to bring the Varsity coaches real material for the Varsity next year, or even this year. It is certain to bring the big family on Mount Oread closer together, for friends and acquaintances of the baseball diamond will be remembered a long time.
In view of the quibbling at the peace conference, watchful waiting is useful for other than a pre-war policy.
With the first breath of spring there also comes the breath of the new young onion. ___
DRY STATISTICS FOR IN-
STANCE
The modern tendency in education, to have students pursue only those lines of research which they enjoy, has increased the natural lethargy of the student species. Few men can see the use in poring over library references several hours, or making detailed charts which the instructor may not have time to examine.
Many students simply ignore class assignments and exercises on the ground that such stuff will not do them any good, anyway. Following the same line of reasoning, there is no need of going to college, because if one does nothing while in college, then it does him no good, anyway.
The old-fashioned idea of doing things that are hard because they are good for one's soul, is not so bad. The necessary application and use of energy in preparing a lesson is valuable training, even if the subject matter is inconsequential.
You may not see what economic conditions in Europe during the Napoleonic wars has to do with your problems, or just why you should evidence a deep interest in Plato. You will doubtless forget what you learn about them, but in the process of learning it will be a direct advantage eventually. Very few people have died from too much honest toil.
University women apparently have no time to read up on the League of Nations, when they have to follow the papers so closely on the question of whether the skirts will stay long and narrow during the summer.
Some University organization should conduct a contest and offer a substantial prize for the best word to replace "keen" in the student vocabulary.
A PURITANICAL IDEA
Have you noticed what a sweet disposition results as you have to step off the walk when passing a group of three or four students who fail to allow enough room for you to pass?
Sometimes it does no good to clear your throat, whistle, or stamp madly. The interested or indifferent persons in front simply continue to verbally imitate a brook. There are usually no bricks handy, and you hate to use regular football methods although the temptation is great.
Perhaps the old idea of a long pole with a rabbit's foot on one end and a wooden knob on the other would solve the problem.
Many a soldier got out of the army without ever being able to distinguish between a naval officer and a hotel porter.
GRAB THAT MINUTE
"For, though life is long, we live it Just a minute at a time."
Just a minute at a time! Somehow those words give a person a creepy feeling. They whisper to us that we are all tending towards that
"Understood country from whose
bourn.
No translation returns."
And every minute, yes every second, marks a definite step forward toward our destiny.
Although we know, we don't very often realize that the second just passed has gone forever. Although we are convinced, we do not often think that every second, being so feeting, should be utilized for good. And yet to this realization and utilization of the elusive seconds can be traced the secret of the great man's power.
Not that we mean to suggest the abolishment of joys and those trivial things which tend towards happiness. They too have their place in life, and a big place it is. One of the characteristics of a great man is that when he works, he can work hard; and when he plays, he can play hard.
The Muse Rampant
It was one of the maximums of Na poleen to allow no minute to go by without a password. Each molecule of time had to render an account to him. No man was lower in his estimation than the idle talker or the shiftless worker. His strict utilization of time first caused his ability and then his rise from poor boy to monarch.
"Just a minute at a time." No, we won't be at college all our lives. The period, although just begun, fast approaches the end. Won't it be a great feeling of satisfaction to know that every second which was given us has a purpose in our lives and helped build up(not tear down) the individuals we will be tomorrow.—Marquette Tribune.
Champ. Clark will attend Memorial Commencement exercises of the University of Missouri to be held the latter part of this month.
TAN-NESS OF DICTIONARIES
The book of two thousand
Six hundred and twenty-one pages,
And cuts
And definitions
To numbers uncounted,
Unaccountable,
Is tan.
 Tan is the right color, too.
 It could not be flaming and radiant orange,
For then some one might read it.
 It could not be a pale and lemonish yellow.
 For then the inky fingers
Of those who do read it
Might soil it.
 Ah, the tan-ness of the dictionary!

Much discussion has been caused this year by the price to which parties on the Hill are limited. A dollar and a half seems to be the generally accepted amount for admission to many dances heretofore known as "big parties."
Editor Daily Kansan:—
With the conservative spirit shown to be approved by faculty at least, it seems a discrepancy that the general price of authorized varsities this year is above normal. Why are students forced to pay a dollar for varsities this year when the customary price in the past was seventy-five cents?
We read in the Kansan that "the thrifty W. S. G. A." has made such and such a profit on its various activities among which are Varsity dances. The W.S.G.A. no doubt congratulates itself on its commercial ability, but the student who has no choice for dances other than varities does not admire the business proficiency of the women so high.
Varsity dances are not supposed to be profit-making. The idea upon which these dances are authorized is that they are to provide entertainment for the majority of students who dance. The price of admission should be the lowest possible to maintain actual expenses. The organization controlling these dances has an absolute monopoly. It should be as unpopular for an organization to make a profit on these dances as for an individual. It matters little to the student what becomes of his money after it has left him. Most men would rather pay seventy-five cents admission and have some grafter pocket the profit than to pay a dollar for the same dance even if he knew it went to the "thrifty W.S.G. A."
Control of Varsities is now joint between the Men's Student Council and the W.S.G.A. An answer to criticisms current among the students should be an immediate lowering of the price to the old one of seventy-five cents.
It is to be hoped that the "thrifty W.S.G.A." does not convert the Men's Student Council to its own commercial ideals.
Why are not students of the University more interested in hikes? They should be fully as pleasing to the students here as they are to the young people of Colorado Colleges and Universities.
Their goal, at which lunch is to be eaten is fixed at a certain peak. To reach this point is one of the aims of the bunch. By the quickness of pace and the cheerfulness of the companionship they are made sturdier. However, the big idea on the trip is the bike.
This is the way the hike is enjoyed there. A group of students, sensibly dressed and loaded with baskets filled with lunch start out at six or seven o'clock in the morning to take a brisk walk through the mountains.
Editor Daily Kansan:-
The Victory Loan is next.
When we think about the fun the men and women have in Colorado we wonder why the students at the University of Kansas do not walk more. We think of the Saturday afternoons which are spent in the house and the days of the weeks that are not brightened by any outdoor air except that received by going to and from school. We wonder if there is some way that hiking could be encouraged.

be a disentangling covenant. I did approve of the Monroe Doctrine, the security for domestic policies and peaceful withdrawal."
Critic
League Sure to Work Charles F. Scott Says (Continued from page 1)
"Senator Borah's objections" he added, "are, first, 'that the proposed league would commit us to alliances with Europe and Asiatic powers and oblige us to take part in the ordinary conflicts and turmoils of Europe.' This criticism is completely destructive. Followed to its logical conclusion it would be destructive not only of the League of Nations but of all orderly human government.
League Sure to Work
Mr. Scott again read excerpts from the new constitution.
"Senator Borah's second statement is: 'That we still assume the tremendous obligation of guaranteeing the territorial integrity and political independence of all nations members of the league so that we will guarantee the territorial integrity of all nations.' To the last sentence should be added, 'from unjust aggression.' We guarantee others more than they guarantee us. It does not fix boundaries for all time. We assume no greater obligation as a nation than our states assume or than the citizens assume.
NOT ONE-SIDED
'Senator Borah's third statement That under the voting arrangement of the league control of the entire machinery of the league remains in European and Asiatic powers.' That is not true, and to my mind Borah is guilty of deliberate misstatement.
“You will remember that Senator Borah's first criticism was that we would be forced to disarm. The old obstacles to disarmment were ignored and has wanted to disarm but there was no machinery for assurance until now.
"Fourthly, Senator Borah says:
The provisions for disarmament are

wholly ineffective. There is really no provision for disarmament whatever. The whole matter of disarmment rests as it is now with the judgment and discretion of each nation, that is, each nation determines for itself to what extent it will disarm. Of course this is no disarmament at all.
RAISES STATUTORY QUESTION
RAISES STATUTORY QUESTION
"Borah's fifth statement is: If the jurisdiction and power of the executive council remains the same as herefore, then the language preserving the Monroe Doctrine is inappropriate and wholly inadequate." Borah said he would be against it if a dozen Monroe Doctrines were written into it. The language is adequate.
the language.
"Sixth, says Senator Borah, 'the league still fails to provide any machinery for the application of the principle of self-determination without which there never can be peace. Until this principle is fully recognized and the machinery for its peaceful application provided for, any League of Nations would be simply a vast machine based upon military power to oppress and hold in subjection all small nations and to sterilize all progress.' This is a statutory question.
COUNCILS POWER
"Seventh: Is still faith to provide any check or control whatever upon the part of the people over the five or nine men with those unlimited and undefined direction rests the question of peace war. It still remains not a league of peoples, not a league of free persons, but a league of diplomats, of officials, of imperialists. It still leaves it in the power of those five or nine men, assuming now that we are going to live up to the provisions of the league, to commit us to war."
"The council is given power binding order in but three cases when, acting as an arbitrator, its finding is unanimous; the reduction of armaments; in the case of a mandatory, voluntarily accepted, it is to determine the degree of authority control or administration to be exercised by the mandate state.
"If we don't have a League of Nations, what? Look at the past four years and judge for yourself."
WHAT IS OUR DUTY?
"I am reminded of something I read in Browning's which is:
"Then welcome each rebuff that turns earth's smoothness rough. Each sting that bids not set not stand, but go."
"That is the mandate that comes today to America. Woe to us if we prove disobedient to the heavenly vision. Woe to us if by reason of selfishness or sloth or indifference or timidity we fail to mount to the higher destiny that beckons us on."
The applications and credits of six prospective freshmen at Cornell University were cancelled and they were barred from entrance to the University because of fradulent impressionation at the entrance examinations in March.
