U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by funding the ideas the university wants to be clear; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be a teacher; to create more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University. THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1919 THE WEATHER Generally fair tonight and Friday; frost tonight, and warmer Friday. K. U. NEEDS McCANLES K. U. NEEDS McCANLES Without the support of its band, most of the University's ventures in the ream of athletics would be of the pepple variety. At football, basketball and baseball contests, in patriotic parades and pep meetings, the band is always the center and source of enthusiasm. Director James McCanles, whose efforts have brought the organization to its present high standard, has resigned because of conditions under control of the University authorities, but no announcement of his retention has as yet been made. There apparently has been no criticism of Mr. McCanles' work, and instead of allowing the veteran band master to leave the University, it would seem to the better interests of the school to provide for his further service here. "Mac" has had hard sledding all the way, particularly from a financial standpoint. His salary has been and is still altogether too low for his ability as a leader. The band receives annually only $150 a year and six per cent of the amount received from student athletic tickets. This season, as no tickets were sold, the band got nothing. There has been no adequate place to hold practices or to store instruments. Many colleges give school credits for band work, but such is not the case here and the number of men trying out is consequently smaller. More than 500 men have been trained in the use of the various instruments by Director McCanles, whose energies have been devoted wholeheartedly to the work. The Kanaan believes that every effort should be made to meet the reasons given by him for his resignation and to retain him as leader of the University band. Asks one student of the other as they were journeying down the Hill. "Do you suppose K. U. will elect a cheering cheerleader this year?" THE GOLD CHEVRON THE GOLD CHEVRON Soldiers wearing little gold chevrons on the sleeves of their olive-drab uniforms are to be seen everywhere now, but we do give them the full amount of credit they deserve? The men are coming back and fitting into their old niches in life so smoothly that the tendency to overlook their sacrifices and hardships is only natural. But these men who stayed over here should not forget. They must remem But these men who stayed over her should not forget. They must remember it is their duty to help the soldiers to get back to their old positions or to get old places, in life, and to give them a warm welcome whenever possible. Usually soldiers returned from overseas' service do not want to be met on every hand and followed around by brass bands, but many things can be done to make them feel the appreciation of those for whom they fought. Remember the returned soldier. Professor Hana Delbrueck of the University of Berlin says he is not terrified at thought of an invasion by the Russian Bolsheviks. And the professors of the University Senate in the great state of Kansas wgre afraid of the proposed invasion of a single reporter. The question among car owners seems to be just how much of the $50,000 appropriated by the legislature for repairs will be used on the University roads. The New Colonel Roosevelt, by taking part in the high councils of the Republican Party, evidently means to adopt the strenuous life his father made so famous. AND THIS HELPS PEP Do we need a revival of pep? No one denies it. Every man who puts forth a little effort, even of the slightest degree to get out for the national game, aids not only himself, but is a factor in the "old fashioned" revival* the University of Kansas needs and will get. The University now has three intramural baseball leagues established. This means any man regularly enrolled may at least try out for a队 he desires. If the plan works successfully, and there is no reason to believe it will not, it should begin to revive the old K. U. baseball spirit. One thing that can be said for the hobble skirt, is that it can be little affected by the balmy breezes of Mount Oread. --men: What I know about compulsory Military Training is plenty—enrol, as a member." A little better acquaintance with text books and library assignments and a little less intimacy with moving picture shows and dances might help the appearance of some students' grades. TAKING FOR CITIZENSHIP The agitation for education and training for citizenship in the army has resulted in the establishment of a director of education by the War Office in Great Britain. The scheme provides for a continuative education for soldiers of eighteen years of age, and makes provision on voluntary lines, both by way of classes and lectures for older men at home and abroad. Authorization has also been given for supplying textbooks, libraries, stationery, etc. TRAINING FOR CITIZENSHIP Anticipating difficulty in securing an adequate number of lecturers and teachers, a plan was presented which called for the sending of officers, non-comissioned officers and men for short, intensive courses of training to the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The universities of this country may well take the hint from Oxford and Cambridge, and agitate a program for the education of the men who are now in our armies. Not only should the men who will remain in the army receive extensive education through army-teachers who will have been prepared in short courses in our universities, but also the universities might make wonderful offers in the way of education in short courses for the men who are being demobilized. A great number do not care to take up their education where they left it, but there are thousands who by the war itself have been led to a new understanding of civil life and the larger problems of today. These men would like to take a short special course in those studies which are directly associated with citizenship, as courses in history and economics, both industrial and social, and in political science. Readable Verse THE CHARGE OF THE SKIRT BRIGADE Half an inch, half an inch, Half an inch tighter, For cloth is high and scarce And prices no lighter; Forward the Skirt Brigade, Forward the dress parade, Still they grow slighter. Forward the Skirt Brigade; Was there a one afraid? Not though the ladies knew Fashion had blundered. Thereires not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why. Theirb is to do or die; Dress shops were plundered. Honor the dress brigade, Oh, what a sight they madel All the world wondered Everyone stared at it. Copper and sparrow; How can she walk in it? Ain't she afraid 'it'll split? It's really too close a fit. Geel! but it's narrow. Men to the right of them, Men to the left of them, Men in front them, Stared at and wondered How could they walk so well; Nobody slipped or fell Though one was sundered. Men to the right of them, Men to the left of them, Men behind them, Stared at and wondered. Who can the story tell How can they walk so well? Nobody slipped or fell, No one one suckered. — T tie Teaven And only one sundered. -- The Daily Texan. Who makes an appointment with you and then fails to come entirely, even after you have waited an hour? Will you be able to leave? WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO THE PROF Who habitually holds his French classes five minutes overtime? Who invariably waits until the whistle has sounded the end of the hour before assigning the lesson for next time? Who shouts in class as if he thought himself an orator? Who calls the roll two minutes before the whistle blows the hour? Who threatens to throw you out of the window unless you fix your notebook in a certain way? Who has courage to say what he (and all the rest) thinks about the School of Law? Who gives the girl he has dated an a Instead of a poor C? Who says "Springtime was made for lovers," and yet preaches that K, U. men and women have too many dates? The W. S. G. A, at the University of Minnesota now hold what they call Sunlight dances, which last from 3 to 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon. "Bolshesia is a manifestation of a passion desire on the part of the Russian people for a better life, independence, self-expression and a justifiable degree of leisure." This was the statement of a Russian student attending the Ohio State University in defending his country. Who is planning on giving his class a cut, but keeps them in the dark about the matter because he likes to see them climb the Hill?

Saturday the representatives of the various clubs at the University or Canada met in Kingston to discuss all matters regarding inter-collegiate sport for next year.

The American Union Against Militarism, of Washington, D. C., is sending out little enrollment cards for college members.

American seemay have received many compliments, but hardly a more charming bit of praise than that which Mine, Gulli-Curci recently paid the Catskill Mountains.

Mrs. Wilson wants to get Mrs. Johnson's cook away from her so badly that she actually went to Mrs. Johnson's house when she was away and offered the cook more money. The next time Mrs. Johnson goes to Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson did not notice her. "Mrs. Johnson, you know Mrs. Wil- son, do you not say the ladies who were there?" "Why! What has made our con quering hero a Bolshevist?" "Oh, chiefly the Student Army Training Corps." "No, I believe not," said Mrs. Johnson," but I understand that she calls on my cook."—New York American.
