Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, Bell K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate student going to go further than merely printing the news on a paper roll. The faculty holds; to play no favoriter; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university; to qualify the students of the University. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1919 IN SUPPORT OF THE TEAM There was some talks about salvaging the barracks. No hurry, however, is needed in arranging to tear down the buildings as they beautify the campus, promote the growth of grass, and are perfectly fire and vandal proof. Besides, the time allotted for their removal is two or three years, according to the speed made in razing North College. During the football season, the University student looks to the cheerleaders as heroes. The inspiration to the team that comes through the concerted cheering brought about by their leadership almost glorifies them in the eyes of the average student. But when basketball season comes, the University student is forced to admit, "We haven't any cheerleader." The University band has been playing at the basketball games. Crowds larger than usual have been attending. We have a strong, fighting team. Yet the students are supporting this team by promiscous shouts and scraggy, unregulated, and unconcerted Rock Chalks. Students are backing the team, no doubt of it, but their support would be more appreciative and definite if the cheerleaders were at the games to unify the cheering. The enrollment of the University of Oregon shows an increase of sixteen per cent over that of last year And that university had the S.A.T.C too! HOGGING RESERVE BOOKS A few of the students in the University need to be reminded that books placed on the reserve shelf are not placed there for the benefit of an individual student and particularly that they are not to be taken from the library. Perhaps if the student who takes a book from which an instructor expects twenty or thirty-five students to get an assignment, be one of those unfortunate individuals who are unable to see the book, he might realize his unfairness. A ruling providing severe punishment for people who remove from the library books on reserve is designed to protect the other students but oftentimes the guilty person is not detected. Unless only one member of the class appears with the assignment it is difficult to fix the blame. It is a question of honor and if each student does his part no one will have to suffer. At Princeton, the regulation freshman headdress is a black skull cap. Remember this, freshmen, and be jolly when the freshman cap edict goes into effect at the University of Kansas next spring. UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN CLUBS OF YESTERDAY "There's many a club," said the old-time student, "that lived and flourished for a time and then faded away or merged with some other society. "Now, take this for example," and he held out a clipping from the University Daily Kansan dated in the spring of 1912. "This contains a list of about sixty-five organizations, of which number fifteen are gone today, and the most of the remainder are not considered as clubs." "Why, even the senior class invitation committee was called a club those days, along with the cap and gown and class day committees. Here, too, along with the Men's Student Council and Women's Student Government Association we find the Good Government Club! "Being of a legal turn of mind, you can understand why I find pleasure in the fact that the School of Engineering was included in the 1912 list of clubs. "Here are two organizations that I am afraid to say anything about for fear some of the men in school now will imitate them. They are the 'Military Company' and Company A, National Guards, both put down in the list of clubs. What I am afraid of is that some ex.S.A.T.C. men will get together and start a Students' Army Training Club. "Of course, while many of these clubs have disappeared, others have come in. The University, I believe, is as adequately represented by clubs now as in 1912 even if we don't call the School of Engineering a club." The old Kansan article quotes W. R. Castle, Jr., then assistant dean of Harvard College, in giving the advantages of college clubs. Two facts tending toward democracy are given: "Active membership can be for a few years only; and the fact that people are taken in at an age when the rough edges are more easily smoothed off." "There are men," Mr. Castle is quoted, "who at first drifted aimlessly, but who, after joining some club, were forced into some line of activity and were thereby made, from the college point of view, worth-while." GUNSTOCK TREES AS MEMORIALS This country needs more black walnut, says the Federal Department of Agriculture. Somebody has started a movement to have each community set out trees in memory of its soldiers of the world war. The great value of the soldiers is based on the protection of sane government. It is one of the mechanical laws that black walnut is necessary for the best results in making the stocks of guns. This country was searched more completely for the special wood for that purpose than for any other one item of war necessity. There may be another war, and at least men will need many guns for centuries. Then a national need and a sentimental duty may be attended to at the same time. Plant black walnut trees and have them marked as memorials for the soldiers. Even if that be attended to up to the limit for one such tree for each man who gave himself for his country in the 100,000 new black walnut trees by more than 40,000 new one of the soldiers. Even if that be attend- grove of walnuts. The department of Agriculture says the scarcity of black walnut because of its large use for war means that it will be short for the great demand for making cabinet materials, musical instruments and furniture. A bulletin has been issued to show the people how and where to plant the trees, and all are invited to help—Worcester Telegram. An American soldier took an English girl to see a game of baseball in London, according to a story told by Lord Dunmore. "If there is anything you want explained" said the doughboy, "tell me. I guess a lot of things seem meaningsless," replied the girl, "and some things idiotic" the girl seems to be idiotic? "Well," was the answer, "why do you call the seets the stands?"—Outlook. Discovered by Readers of the University Daily Kansan Readable Verse THE HYDROPLANE THE HISTORY When I left the convention room, at home way up the State, I thought a sleigh and thoroughgoing for speed was something great. I had no idea why the snow with loosed rein, but I had never piloted a car before. I did not want to miss it. I often dreamed when just a kid Across the white and feathery cloude That floated overhead, Of skimming on my sled the white and brown clouds That floated overhead, or sliding off in azure space. Or sliding off in azure space and now I feel again That dizzy exaltation when I ride a hydroplane. It's like the smoothly running sleigh Without the hammering steed. 1 ride a hydroplane. Without the hammering steel, IOM can spin spun. Through spaces at lightning speed, IOM can spin spun. A with a thumb, a mustache or a scar. That falls in diamond rain. I'm off to navigate the sky And drive a hydroplane. The water shimmers far below. The water slimes in the lake telltling loud, I race the hawk, defy the gale, Toboggan down the cloud, The submeans in the zenth chang To castle towers in Spam, I'm out taekwang in the hydroplane. A navy hydroplane: Minna Irving, in New York Sun. Ask Roomie I am a brother to the gods, I also a superbist. I construct its course: Oh! what a glorious frip, And when once more it comes to rest I'm proud to be the captain of a navy hydroplanet. We forbade duplicate service, discontinued trade competition and reduced the number of rival models. We She Will Answer Anything Threee a Week Right Here Write, Call or Phone the Kansan he Will Answer Anything Their Dear Roomie: He asked me to go to the movies on a midweek night. So I just snuk out and went. Then he asked me again and we went again. And the next night we went again. But about the time I got home that third night, the Student Council called me up and warned me not to go any more. They said they had seen me three times. Now I'm a freshman and I not too much interested in W. G. S. A. by sight so that I can avoid them. But I am afraid to get acquainted with them if they are after me, How can I work it? Nearly half our war work was the abolition of waste in a system of which we had been boastfully proud. Boards and commissions without number were combined and co-operation where competition had been compulsory. Little Girl. My dear: I'm not a member of W. S. G. A., and I won't tell them about you, but it seems to me you are awfully mistaken about your dates. It's all right to have them but I wouldn't if I were you. You see, the point is not simply that it is against the rules, and bad for the University to have its students disobey the rules. But it is going to be an act of girlhood who has mid-week dates very often hurts her reputation on the Hill. The girls who refuse to have dates on school nights won't do a thing for her, and pretty soon she will find herself out of the class she wants to be in. That's straight. Roomie. War taught the danger of waste. It gave rise to sermons on the sinful garbage box, the wickedness of gluttony and the disgrace of gaudy display. DON'T WASTE LESSONS We saw idle acres and idle men in a famine struck world. We saw all that we had, but without its power to produce efficiently and use economically. We saw labor in chaos, hunting and missing jobs that were in turn hunting and missing them. We saw streams of workers passing through plants multiplying to work. We models multiplied in pure perversity of diversity. We saw two railroads doing work less efficiently than one could do it. We saw firms using more energy to fight competitors than to produce businesses that were sites implicated until the streets were crowded and business delayed. We gathered up the fragments, lived the gospel of the clean plate, patched our clothes and swept up atlues and basements for useful junk. When this was done we looked around for a bigger job. It soon became plain that we had only been playing with economy—that we had been saving at the spigot and wasting at a tremendous bungehole. told manufacturers how many styles of shoes, stoves, hats, beds and other articles could be made. The manufacturers liked this so well that they are now complaining because the restrictions are removed. The national government called in employers and told them how to hire and fire without criminally wasteful "labor turnover." When employers were dull of understanding a school or college business. Now the employers propose to continue the school at their own expense. We had only just begun the job, but untold millions of dollars of waste were eliminated. We are going to need those untold millions in the future, to meet the war debts and the new social work that will be required to make democracy safe for the world. We will need other untold millions that can be saved by the new methods of production and economy that we learned during the war. The most wasteful of all jung kills would be one into which we should cast the lessons the war has taught.—Philadelphia North American. Answer—This is one of the questions impossible to answer, since history does not carry us back to the beginnings of civilization and government. Doubless there were rulers long before the first kings of whom the world now has knowledge. One of the very earliest whose name has been preserved was Men, or Mena, the first king of the First Dynasty in Egypt. He reigned about the year 4777 B. C., or nearly 67 centuries ago. There were “kings” in Egypt before his time, but they were perhaps only local rulers; Mena seems to have been the first to unite Egypt into one kingdom. Of those earlier rulers the first whose name has been preserved was Ap. In Babylonian history the earliest whose name has come down to us was En-sag-kus-anna, who is thought to have reigned before 4500 B. C., or more than 6400 years ago—Current Events.

Noticing that the first was hard at it, while the other was doing a lot of soldiering, he said: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself to let the little man do all the work." "Why shouldn't he," retorted the big fellow; "he's the nearest to it." REASONABLE Mistress: Bridget, you have been eating colors.

OVER THE TELEPHONE The manner in which you use a telephone indicates largely what you are talking about. Many a man has dug his grave with his tongue. Discounteyes hurts the person who uses it more than the person toward whom it is directed. You cannot get away from that truth by drawing a herring across the trench. We have proved to our satisfaction that courtesy is a good investment. One discountable action by you over the telephone to a patron or prospective patron does an injury to every man whose name is on the payroll; and a place on the payroll beats one in the breadline. Wounds inflicted by a knife heal more quickly than those inflicted by a sharp tongue. It is not always what a man knows what he does that counts. Opportunities further develop your skills.

St. INDUSTRAL REFORMS JAPAN NEWS Popular Prices Tables For Ladies Dr. Tellici Sakata, professor of the Higher School of Technology, contributes to the Tokio Chuo a series of articles on the future of the financial world and the improvement of technical education in Japan. He emphasizes the importance of developing industries rather than increasing armaments, especially now that the world war has practically come to a close. He draws lessons from the great industrial development of the United States. In Japan the relations between employers and employees are not very close, which is a lamentable fact. Persons who have habits of extravagance are self-indulgent, depending upon their monetary power, whereas the employees work only for their pay. If the employee does not get enough pay they leave. This condition is harmful to the sound development of industries in Japan and also from the educational point of view—East and West News.
