The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergrowth of education for students; to go further than merely print the news by standing for it; and to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE WEATHER
"LET'S GO, KANSAS"
"LET'S GO, KANSAS"
The University of Kansas is due for a big revival of spirit next fall that will make the students who are spending their first year wonder.
The old K. U. spirit that used to be behind the Rock Chalk and the big football rallies, the night shirt parade and other good things of that sort are coming back just as surely as the hundreds of men who have been serving in the army overseas are coming. Old Mount Oread will be a different place next fall.
The temporary loss of any semblance of school spirit is only natural. Students lost interest in everything except the war and things related to it, not only at this University, but at hundreds of others. Everything was overshadowed by the big struggle in Europe and the famous Jayhawker spirit was for the time transferred to the trenches in France and Flanders, where K. U. played her part in downing the Kaiser. Now that the war is over, that same spirit is coming back stronger than ever.
But there is no reason why we should wait until next fall to turn the Kansas pep loose on the Hill. It is true that the football season is the best time of the year to have pep meetings and rallies, and football is recognized as the ace of college sports. However, Kansas will be represented this spring on the baseball diamond, the track and the tennis court and Jayhawker students can begin right now to tune up for the grand opening of revival of spirit next fall.
With weekly convocations, regular attendance at the baseball games, track meets and other athletic events and a real interest shown toward debating, students at K. U. will come into their own and be ready for the official return of "Rally', Rally'." "Everybody out," "Oi, oi, oi," and the grand opening of the University next fall.
From a total of 200,000 returned soldiers, 17,000 lately signed papers showing they were returning to farms. Perhaps it will not be so hard after all to get the boys "back on the farm."
"FINISH THE JOB"
With word that peace will be signed by Easter and the Nations of the World will be united in a league to enforce world-wide peace in a short time, comes also the news that the Fifth and final Liberty Loan Drive will begin the last week in April. In
this movement the people will be expected to lend enough of their money to the government to "finish the job."
Because the fighting is over on the battlefields of Europe and the troops are returning home, some people are taking a pessimistic view of the outcome of the big financial drive and are spreading their sentiments broadcast to the effect that the drive will not go over the top, as the others have done. These people are satisfied that the active struggle is over and they are secure in their thoughts that duty toward their country, in so far as financial support is concerned, is at an end.
They are wrong, and the majority of the people know it and say so. The minority which believes that they have no more obligations to Uncle Sam will see the error of their ways and swing over to the side of the optimists before many weeks. They will be in line with the boosters before the campaign is finished, and the Victory Liberty Loan Drive will go over the top, as the other four have done.
In deploring the evil effects of prohibition have the "wets" yet expounded the hardship it will work upon the corkscrew manufacturers?
Why haven't those co-eds who sell the various colored tags on the campus been prosecuted for holding up the males?
WHAT IS THE PROPER ME MORIAL?
Big questions cannot be settled over night. The matter concerning a proper memorial for the University is a question of this nature and students should think on an idea before formally advocating it.
Several memorials have been suggested as fitting, and each seems to be backed by good arguments. It is probable, however, that as many good things as students could be mentioned, for everyone has the right to his own opinion.
Clearly, the best way to really tell what the students want is to open some medium where they may express their views. With this in mind, the Kansan solicits short articles for an editorial column similar to that of "Campus Opinion." This column will appear tomorrow night under the caption "Memorial Comment." If you think you have the right idea, write it out and bring to the Kansan office. As the University paper, the Kansan has for its duty, the finding of the best memorial. If you are a live student and interested in this live matter, send in your paragraph.
Campus Opinion
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer as evidenced in the instructions, and it must not be used if the author so specifies. Communications are welcome.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
Again we have the platform speaker who persists in offering as proofs of a premise arguments which could not be supported in debate. Some time ago D. Mirakuchi, speaking before the convoctionation made statement after statement which was either untrue or presented in a false light. "Japan has no fear of a break between the United States and Japan," he said, and later "America is Japan's greatest creditor, as well as her greatest customer." And this is advanced as an argument that Japan and the United States will never engage in a war. Both of these arguements are exactly the same as the ones offered by Germans in England, and even by misguided Englishmen, in 112-13, and the earlier part of '14 to show the impossibility of war between Germany and England.
Dr. Mirakuchi further stated that Japan had never violated international obligations, attributing her Chinese and Korean policies to "mistakes of the past." This, considering the continued aggressions against these countries in the past eight years, and the recent annexation of Korea, with the overthrow of an established, independent government, is ludicrous.
The Speakers arguments with reference to the Philippines were equally unconvincing. First, with reference to the tropical location, the fact that no great nation has ever come from a tropical climate, is irrelevant in as much as Japan would only desire the
islands as a colony, as is the case with the United States—and certainly their location has not caused this country to cease to be a great one! Again, it is well known that the mongolian race is the only one which has in the past been able to exist in any climate—they are found from the poles to the equator. The economic argument is also fallacious, for although the islands have cost this country a great deal in the past, they have now been educated nearly if not quite, to the point of self-support. And finally, the gentleman's agreement between Japan and the United States is that "the scraps of paper" of Germany, particularly in view of the recent treaties between Japan and China which have been so ruthlessly broken by the former.
Considering these facts, embracing the denial of nearly every portion of Dr. Mirakuchi's speech, it will certainly be wise, to use one partition of his own expressions. "Chew the material well before you swallow it," lest you should "have a bad case of indigestion." "H.C.N"
The "Yellow journalism" plea was obviously a more or less innocent attempt to discredit the officially verified reports of the acquisition of Mexican land by Japanese citizens.
Sermonettes
Written by K. U. Students and Lawrence Pastors.
THE TRIUMPH OF SPRING
M. Lee Sorey, Minister of First Christian Church
The question has often been asked why the Song of Solomon ever found a place in the Holy Scriptures. It does not appear in the least spiritual or calculated to produce spirituality in any reader. It has been taken in an allogenealical sense showing the love be between Christ and the Church. This does not seem satisfactory, for there are so many things in the book that seem out of harmony with the life and spirit of Christ.
The later and better interpretation of the book is that it is a simple, but beautiful story of human love. The story seems to be that of the pure simple love of a maiden of the fields for her beloved. Another is trying to win her, supposedly, Solomon, but she has already given her heart away. She has already given herself the consistency of love, the simple sincerity of life, the beautiful expressions and figures that have won for the book a place in the poetic realm.
It is in this book we find the expression "The chiefest among ten thousand." Also "The rose of Sharon" and
"The Lily of the Valley" as well as "Until the day breaks and shadows flee away."
The flowers tell their story to us of new life. The birds sing their songs of glory. The turtle-dove is heard voicing her notes of thanksgiving for new-found freedom. The ripening of the figs shows the flow of life. The blossom of the vines proclaims the beauty of that new life and the fragrance of the spring-time air declares to us all, the beauty of immortality. It is the triumph of spring.
