WEDNESDAY, FEB. 26, 1919.
A FEASIBLE PLAN
From the plan adopted by the joint meeting called by Chancellor Strong Saturday, whereby ten student members will be added to the present Student Interest Committee it would appear that the faculty of the University is keenly awake to the justice of student representation in their own government.
While the plan in its actual working may prove to be far from perfect, nevertheless we believe both students and faculty as a whole will recognize the spirit as good. The change from an absolute faculty government to one with student representation is so wide that many features must necessarily come gradually.
A committee represented by both faculty and students is to be commended as such representation is necessary in order to secure a wide point of view. The large number of persons on the committee seems likely to be a cause of much quibbling and delay, however, in spite of the need for many different opinions to be expressed.
The greatest weakness of all probably lies in the fact that the new joint committee will not be one of last resort. Instead, all its works must be approved by the Senate. It seems obvious that if such a committee is recognized by the University Senate it should be granted powers of final jurisdiction upon the subjects which are called to its attention. In its actual working if such proves to be a weakness the Senate should immediately grant full powers to the committee without its customary procrastination.
In spite of the present faults of the plan it seems to be as good a one as could be expected under such circumstances when no large number of either students or faculty holds the same view. We believe the Senate will be wise to put it into operation. If weak points come to the surface after the scheme is in action the necessity of changing it in minor details should be immediately recognized.
The late Mr. Barclycorn appears to have been greatly esteemed by newspaper poets. To date they have written about two hundred and fifty elegies bewailing his untimely end.
FEMININE HABILIMENTS
The heterogeneity of costumes which appear at University parties this year is something marvulous to behold. Every different feminine attire, excepting only the bungalow
apron and the bathing suit, may be seen.
No one is quite sure whether afternoon or evening dresses will be worn. The Lawrence telephone service is made even worse each Friday night by the two hundred women who call each other and confer on what to wear. And then they arrive at no decision.
The gorgeous party dress may be seen next a plain, dark afternoon dress. Radical women even appear in blue serge, just to show others that they don't think it's much of a party, anyway, and that it takes more than a date to make them exert themselves to the point of being adorned. Some try to get around the problem by wearing light afternoon frocks with long sleeves—a sort of compromise.
The ensemble effect is not exactly artistic. Some plan should be devised to remedy the uncertain notion University women have of what to wear when. If a party is supposed to be elaborate, we suggest that the managers stand at the door, and sternly order all women not in party clothes to march home and change their raiment. The same method might be used when the dance is strictly informal. These measures may at sight seem cruel, but such momentous problems demand austere remedies.
GETTING BY SOCIALLY
You may not be getting by socially and you may not be able to date at the leading sororities in the University, but if you stick to your studies your reward will come, even if not in social lines.
The real women in the University do not notice a freshman's dancing nearly as much as his personal appearance and bearing on the campus. They want a man to be a man at all times, in the classroom and elsewhere. They don't care especially for the fox trot wizards, nor past masters of parlor subtuferges.
Many a celebration of the social graces is the brunt of the jokes of his fellow classmates. Good dancers may make a hit socially while they are freshmen and then fall from their pinnacle when quiz week rolls around.
At graduation these men have accomplished little and they realize it too late. The women with whom they have danced cannot see them now—they are out for the real things of life and the old home town man steps in. The wise student gets nisi academic work first and learns to dance for recreation only.
FINDING THEM WORK
The same spirit of organization which got our country's strength in to the war is going to find work for every man discharged from military or naval service. The Council of National Defense, with its network of public and private agencies over the entire land, is co-operating to that end by the very practical method of hiring United States Employment Service. A special Bureau for Returning Soldiers and Sailors will be set up in every town and city. All other local bodies interested can pool their efforts through this agency, which will have at its disposal the machinery and the experience of the Employment Service officers. Gradual demobilization and gradual return from abroad will prevent the burden from becoming too heavy at any one time. Be sure to remember that all of the men themselves have relatives and friends (including former employers) who know just about where Tom and Joe can fit in, and are perfectly willing to help them.
The usual immigration of workers to the United States has been cut off for over four year, and our women have not gone into industry to any extent as their French and British sisters did, so the problem has its favorable aspects. Great needs must be met, nevertheless, and great plans are under way to accomplish what is necessary, but organizing for peace is easier than for war, since the losses of war are over. If you are interested get in touch through the local body that helped you do your war duty and find out what you can do to help the men now returning—Collier's

Mental Lapses
A NUT TO CRACK
Those who feel sure that a shorter working day (eight hours, six hours, or what not) must mean more leisure and a freer life should be interested in looking around the office-building sections of our town about nine of a week-day morning. The rush then in progress is really painful to observe. Perhaps the principal reason for it is that most of the younger generation have never been trained on a seven o'clock job, and the hours they are used to are, to their notion, rather hard hours just because they lack the contrast of things more difficult. Mark Twain was serious when he wrote of the government official whose last year he recruited his presence from half past twelve to a quarter past one every other Wednesday on the ground that it was impossible for him to hold it and arrange his lunch engagements! On the other hand, we have known men who could smoke an untroubled pipe, get down to the shop, swap the morning's news, and start labor on the blast of a seven o'clock whistle with every appearance of having all the spacious leisure that this life can afford. It all depends on how much you think of your job and of yourself—Collier's.

McCook Field Determined Change In University Colors In 1891
McCook Field was named after the late Colonel John J. McCook of New York. He belonged to the family of fighting McCooks, well known in the Civil War. In later years he was a prominent lawyer in the East.
In 1890 and 1891, much enthusiasm was aroused among the faculty and students over the buying of an athletic field for the University. Year after year Kansas had won the pennant on the football gridiron. A field at the corner of Massachusetts and Adams (now Fourteenth) Streets was used, but the owner always asked a big slice of the gate receipts.
MCCO KINETTE IN TENNESSEE
Two sites of ground were under consideration as being behind Onea Mount Oread, which was then a level strip of vacant lots, owned by Charles Robinson, a professor in the university.
MC COOK IN TENNESSEE
In the early part of 1891, complaints were made that three and one-half times as much money was appropriated by the Legislature for the state penitentiary as for the University. An unexpected benefactor, however, appeared, Colonel McCook. He was an interested observer of all sports and realized the need for a trustee to manage the trustees were planning to buy land for this purpose, he gave $1,500 to the cause.

A company has partnered with Professor Camiller, later Chancellor of the University of Nebraska as chairman. Many favored a location east of Mount Oread. The land was level, the price reasonable, and the

The Cornell ruling that every fraternity house shall have a faculty member looged in it is a pebble in the Greek-letter sea which will stir it to shore. Cornell used to be the frat paradise, having more of the brotherhoods than any other college. What have they been up to?
On Other Hills
The Smith College Relief Unit in France has cabled the headquarters of the War Service Board that it hopes to finish its work by August. Meanwhile it is "officially requested" by the French government to stay in France and carry on its work of reconstruction.
Syracuse University has a positively unenvy way of getting into the public eye. Probably no other institution in the country acquires so much undesirable publicity. First, Chancellor Day saying something that few persons can approve. Then it is an athletic affair that neither reads nor sounds well and now comes the faculty with the thoroughly Prussian decision that academic credit will be granted for war service only to such men as were fortunate enough to win commissions. So far as the Syracuse notion of war is concerned, the mere private, apparently, is nothing. All he did was most of the fighting and nearly all of the dying.
The mentality tests which were of no small help to the army in its efforts to gauge the capabilities of the drafted men who came to it, are now to be given to all students of the University of Illinois. Apparently many other colleges are going to have them taken in their talk of comparing the mentality of Illinois students with those of other institutions.
Instructor is Ill;
Class Still Meets
Did you ever hear of a class that would insist on meeting even though its instructor was absent? Strange things like that do happen. Despite the absence of the instructor, Prof. H. O. Kruse, class in scientific German has been meeting each day the last two weeks translating and assisting teams for the meetings. Professor Kruse is ill of inuenza at his home.
There are six men and one woman in the clash. The students all say that there never was another class like theirs and that it is all due to their instructor who has made the course so interesting for them. He never discusses grades they say, because he seems to take that each student is increased and the best he can. It is out of appreciation and love for their instructor that the class has continued its work during his absence.
The class sent a cyclamen plant to Professor Kruse last Thursday. He thanked them by writing a short poem in German. A copy of the verse was sent to each member. The poem described the scientific growth and
As the field slopeed considerably, toward the east, much grading and rolling was necessary before it could be used. Colonel McCook added a donation, almost equal to the first, and a grandstand, capable of seating 1,000 persons was erected in the northwest corner of the field.
car line on Tennessee Street connected it very conveniently with the business part of the city. The present site was finally decided upon, and named in honor of the donater. Governor Robinson nided the transaction by asking a price for the piece of ground far less than it was worth. This donation was made at commement exercises of 1891.
COLORS YELLOW AND BLUE
An interesting detail of the purchasing of McCook Field was the changing of the University colors. Previous to this time there had been colors from the original corn-yellow and sky-blue combination to crimson. Many looked upon the old colors as an imitation of the University of Michigan, while crimson might be taken for the colors of Harvard. Those favoring crimson prevailed. Colonel Cook, however, was a graduate of Yale, and he felt that the suggestion was unwise to substitute the Yale colors. This was not satisfactory, so the colors of Yale were united with those of Harvard, giving the present colors of crimson and blue. Colonel McCook expressed his pleasure, but declined to wear the colors as they were the colors of Pennsylvania the most hated rival of Yale.
