The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UF so go further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing no favorable, but to play no favorable, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be compassionate; to save more serious problems to wiser heads; to all, to serve to the university; to the students of the University. MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1919. When a professor cuts his own class, it is the kindest cut of all. ANCIENT RIVALS MEET A few years ago debating was one of the most popular forms of mental elaboration and social entertainment. Tryouts for debating squads were exciting in the rivalry they caused. A man or woman who made the team was certain of popularity. At the present time an attempt is being made to revive the popularity of the debate. A better time could not have been chosen. With the problems brought up by reconstruction after the war at hand debating will be invaluable in serving to educate the popular mind in these great questions. That the revival of debating is not advocated by merely pedantic persons is proved by the challenge of the Laws to the Engineers. And the quick acceptance by the Engineers has proved the spirit of students more familiar with transits and co-wogs than with the polished art of oratory. The growth of interest in debating in the future seems to be certain. The debate between the two schools of the University noted for their rivalry is a good thing. It will promote spirit and pep. It seems doubtless that the College will soon be included in debates between the schools of the institution. A triangular debate will cause even more excitement and rivalry. The Engineers and Laws are expected to attend the debate in full force. The meeting will be chock full of spirit and enthusiasm. It is to be hoped that other students attend. Contents of this kind will put life in the University. Perhaps some of the faculty are opposed to Kansan reporters in the Senate on the ground that attendance at the meetings would take too much time from their studies. PEP AND THE BAND The University Band has been out at all the basketball games. An attendance of students almost equal to the number in the Band has also been out, and has tried to supplement the effort of the musicians in encouraging the team. Student spirit at the University this year, it is generally agreed, is far from what it has been in the past. The war, the S. A. T. C., and other unavoidable conditions have served to make it thus. But the relapse is only temporary, and the remainder of the present school year should be devoted to the restoration of the old time spirit for which the Jayhawk has always been noted. While the student body may not be greatly on the alert, the University Band is loyal. Why not let the Band try its hand at inspiring a little more enthusiasm? Let's have the Band out at next convoitation—whenever that may be—and watch the old spirit come to life. 2-cent letters again after July 1, 1919, but the penny saved will probably be spent as a war tax on ice cream sodas. France has produced two of the greatest soldiers, Napoleon and Foch; but there never were two men who were more unlike. REWARDING SERVICES Not many generations back, the typical schoolmaster of caricature was a threadbare intellectual, with hideous spectacles and the general air of a worried rabbit. He "boarded round" and suffered great indigency, for teaching, in pioneer times, was regarded not as a profession, but as a non-essential which was not more than faintly important. The days of the threadbare, worried soul have been revived of late. Many of the men left the profession before the war, because of higher paying positions open to them in business. Women who could not command the high business wage stayed with the schools but when the call for war-workers came the shortage of teachers became alarming. As prices rose fifty per cent and teachers' salaries increased not more than twelve per cent, the instructors of the nation's youth flocked out to do the better-paying, more obviously patriotic work of keeping card catalogues of Hoover recipes. The few who remained faithful to their profession began to show the outward signs of the pioneer schoolmaster. They did not "board around," but they were threadbare. All the glory of patriotic service went to the enthusiastic filers of recipes, who were taking in Washington's best plays o"nights. The teachers, who seldom had sufficient cash on hand for a twenty-five cent picture show, sat up to make over their last year's hats, after they had corrected a few dozen themes on Foch and Pershing. It was not a cheerful service they performed, for it was bitterly unappreciated. Commissioner Claxton's recommendation that the salaries of teachers be doubled throughout the country is important for two reasons. The higher pay may induce the men and women who are needed in the profession to return to it, thereby raising its dignity again and giving to the children the best instruction possible. Furthermore, the increased wage would be a much-deserved reward for the women who stayed at their desks throughout the period when it was almost impossible to secure enough teachers to carry on a normal amount of school work. They did a truly valuable service for the country, and it is only fair that they receive this recompense. Is the "apple pie jag" to become one of the new evils to afflict the country? In a communication to the New York Sun one of the readers of that newspaper says: "Take a piece of apple pie, charge it heavily with sugar, lay it away a few months in a refrigerator, at a temperature say of thirty degrees, and then bring it forth warm it a little, and it well rejoice the soul of the hired man—if he sees it first." It is not to be doubted that the wicked author of this suggestion is pointing out a way to evade the spirit, if not the very letter of the prohibition amendment, and that the treatment of the apple pie recommendation by him is designed to transgress it, to give it a higher agent. Must we have laws distinguishing between fresh-make and "seasoned" apple pie, as even now various States have laws distinguishing between hard and sweet cider? Or will it be necessary to add another amendment to the Constitution absolutely prohibiting apple pie? APPLE PIE Read the Daily Kansan. Springfield Union. As To Your Future Let these former K. U. students help you Are you interested in astrophysics? Marie Buchanan, A. B. '18, now in the advertising department of Emery BDray Thayer Company, Kansas City, Mo., offers these suggestions to University students who are especially interested in advertising: Are You Interested in Advertising 50 Every possible course which will help to broaden in a definite sense the student's view point, should be mastered by the student who is going to enter the vocation of advertising. Courses that will be helpful and that are not now a part of the curriculum are specialized courses in department store advertising, and in art work, to give students the primar- ability of proportion for making lay outs. The salary does not at first equal that paid the teacher but it is boundless in the end if you "make good." Among the personal qualifications neede are a photographic mind, curiosity, an eye for progressivess, but not aggressives, and the art of seeing the other person's view point. The number of openings is increasing for women. Take all of the journalism courses offered in the University of Kansas. Try to understand all of the elementary subjects offered. Alice Bowlby, A. B. '18, now in advertising and circulation promotion work in Washington, D. C. says: Such courses as the study of all kinds of paper and the various uses of it, also modern industry and the men who make it are subjects that should be made a definite part of the University curriculm. The salary is better than that giv To have asked a person several years ago to imagine taking up a telephone receiver in New York and bearing the beat of tomfits in New Zealand would have been an excessive draft on that person's imaginative powers, besides shocking him with its element of weirdness. But it is very calmly announced that within the present year the radio phone may carry the human voice in an audible pitch 12,000 miles, half way around the globe. It has been a practical method of teaching comparative geographical locations to tell a child that a hole bored in New York would cause the distance of 8,000 miles would cause a terrestrial eruption in the neighborhood of Kerguelen Land. But this fantasy no longer need be resorted to. Children can now better compute distances and ascertain locations by attempting to estimate where they will be able to telephone when this new contrivance comes into practical use—New York Sun. AT BELLEAU WOOD The only secret of good writing is always to have something to say. Brigadier General Catlin, in his book "With the Help of God and a Few Marines," tells in vivid fashion just what it was that happened at Belleau Wood in the first week of last June that helped to change the whole color of the city's skyline. A sure instinct taught the general to tell his tale in just the way that hurries the reader on from page to page like a mountain brook. It would not be fair to our allies to persuade ourselves that such an action as that of Belleau Wood, where 2,000 marines were engaged, was unique in gallantry or significance. The British, French, Belgians, and Halians have fought hundreds such attacks that the enemy has had its say, fact remains: it was an attack of super heroism at the crucial moment. General Cattin does not attempt to poetize it. He tells with engaging vander that his last word to the marines before they crossed the wheat fields under a withering fire was "Give 'em hell, boys!" He adds: "What would you do if advanced on those woods crying 'Remember the Lusitania!' If they did so, I failed to hear it. Somehow that doesn't sound like the sort of thing the marine styls under the conditions." We are glad that he tells us what they did say. When the lines wavered under the German fire, a zergent cried out: "Come on, you to do you want to live forever." Collins Secretary of War Newton D. Baker at a meeting at John Hopkins University for Dr. Kirby F. Smith, professor of Latin, said: "Latin will never be a spoken language again, but a study of the language will add to our culture. I am convinced that we will witness harmony between the applied sciences and the humanities and the classics." forever?"—Colliers.

MOLTING SEASON IS HERE Good taste and patriotism should path hasten the long-deferred molting season of some of Cornell's warred veterans whose leather puttees and bandbox uniforms lend a near-martial air to the campus. The military display presents a rather discordant note and would appear to indicate a tardy tailor, or a peacock disposition. Suspiciouss rather well founded indicate that some of the crippled veterans of the Battles of the Training Camps desire to prove to the community that "service" was their middle name. It must be admitted that there is some satisfaction in returning to Alma Mater and preening one's uniformed feathers for a brief strut. But that affection wears off in due time, and usually lasts anywhere from one to two days. Then comes a rush to the "cits" again, and one dons the long trousers of yesterday with a sigh of satisfaction and relief with an able to jump out of the near-limelight shiny puttees earn for one. Among other things it should be noted that the Cornellians who saw real service abroad were the first to get out of their uniforms. And the soldiers afflicting the community are composed very largely of second "louies" with post-bellum commissions. The community grants esteem and honor to the man who has made good, so he need not separate the mothballs and that uniform more than a day or so. The fellow who is afraid that somebody will miss out on the fact that he, too, "seen his duty and done it," is the lad who continues to blossom out daily. Yesterday was the heedley of the uniform; the nation has had its military atmosphere and now it books forward to tackling newly arise problems. And in this scheme of things, where does the "uniformed" civilian fit in? He only serves his own pride, and tends to disorganize the formation of a serious atmosphere around the campus. The War Department's ruling that officers and men must get into civilian clothes immediately after returning to civilian life unfortunately robs of the opportunity to do the right thing on their own initiative. So attention need only be called to the recent ruling. And Cornell will no longer appear as a pseudo-armed camp. After all, the uniform is not the test of service. Those who affect to continue to wear it are not yet in tune with the peace-time order of things. And those "soldiers" should recollect that assuming the uniform does not exalt them above their classmates They should reflect that everybody—not individuals alone—did his share of the world's job.
