ED TODD'S RELIEF FUND
A down town paper printed two pictures the other day—pictures of starving Armenians. The next day readers called at the office to ask the editor to stop running such heart-rending illustrations.
Suppression of facts about suffering may save the feelings of comfortable citizens, but it does not relieve the sufferers. When conditions are so frightful that people of this country can not bear to think of them, it is time to dig more deeply than ever into the flattened purse.
Cruel ravages of war still mar the world, and while distressed peoples need assistance, we should give to the utmost of our ability.
In particular students of the University ought to contribute to the Armenian Relief Fund, for Ed Todd, a former student, is leaving with the Relief Commission. All the people on the Hill are proud of him and the University contributions will be credited as an Ed Todd fund for his relief work. Let's give all that's possible.
KEEP YOUR STUBS!
A letter from France says, "The cooties must think it is going to be a cold January. They are digging in for the winter." And they say hostilities have ceased.
Twenty checks have been returned to the University Cafeteria in the last month marked "no funds."
With the exception of one or two, these checks have been made good, which indicates that the students are not intentionally dishonest. This is not one of the evils that can be said to result from the S. A. T. C., for the manager reports very little of the trouble among the soldiers. Nearly all of the checks have been given by University women, who are apparently too careless to keep an accurate account of the checks they write. Perhaps they do not realize the inconvenience which they cause the manager of the cafeteria, but there is certainly no excuse for the insulted attitude which some of them assume when the matter is reported to them
It is possible that some of the women who have recently entered the University have never had the responsibility of financial matters before, but most of them are credited with average intelligence which is all that is required to keep an account of expenses.
Unless University women can develop sufficient ability to keep an accurate account. of their checks, they should make it a rule to pay their bills with cash and avoid unnecessary trouble for others.
A TRIBUTE
Dear, old Fraser, with all the comforts of home! The rats and the cats in the basement; a colored mammy or two; the delicious odor of pies and cakes floating enticingly up the stairs, grandfather's clock by Chancy's door; the chapel, whose sweet strains 'remind you of Sister May's morning practice. And then up the garrets step to 402,-dear old Fraser!
HARD UP FOR TIME
The fellow who never has any money with which to purchase all the little niceties of life that make it worth living, awakens the sympathy of most of us. No doubt he should be pitted, but the man who really lives a tortured existence is the one who never has time to enjoy what life offers him
As a matter of fact, of course, everyone has twenty-four uniform hours of sixty minutes each every day. But that doesn't keep us from being pestered by the person who simply never has time. For example:
He starts in to attack a lesson one of his professors has assigned, but all through his studying, he is in a constant agony because to get that lesson he is taking time from another of equal importance.
A freshman comes in to ask his advice on the best course to take. He really would like to study the case, for there is no doubt that if he knew the particulars he could help his young friend, but he simply hasn't time to bother with the fellow.
He hasn't time to rest; he hasn't time to study; he hasn't time to read; he hasn't time to write home; he hasn't time to enjoy life. We often wonder if he ever has time enough to do anything.
Time is money, it is true, and we should none of us be extravagant with it. But in the long run, isn't it possible that what few minutes these frantic individuals save in their boarding of time, is really subtracted from their lives by the worry is costs them?
The S. A. T. C. men who remained in school are opening up the seams of their old woolen socks and pressing them out. They make lovely rugs for the floor and it only takes one pair to cover the whole floor.
We notice that the girls do not act so thrilled lately when letters arrive from overseas. Presumably this is because the letters are no longer the only kind of male on the Hill.
The student with a real imagination says he would like to climb the flight of stairs on the facade of Spooner.
Whenever a girl makes a hat herself some of her girl friends are to remark, "Well it looks it."
There is a Senate ruling, passed last year but still in force, to the effect that all-University parties shall not cost more than three dollars a couple. The price of these parties is a fixed matter, and any student who is anticipating elaborate dances this spring will be disappointed.
War is over, but does that permit the common idea to prevail among many that it is perfectly all right to make unnecessary expenditure of money for a night's amusement?
A PLEA FOR SIMPLICITY
Many seem to think that because the war is over everything is settled. Our country has a great burden to bear and it should not be our policy to be wasteful. Patriotic students will not oppose the ruling which says the big parties of the year shall be reasonably priced and informal in dress.

In most of the recaptured French towns, when dawn came on that frosty morning of November 11, could be heard the jingling of harness, the squeals and braying of the mules, the swelling chorus of grumbling and shouting and laughter—the music of an American resilient waking up.
In the half frozen mud of one of the shot torn roads a Yankee lad—he might have still been in high school had he stayed in the States—met a little French girl of about 10-years, blue with the cold and visibly shivering in a thin, long wound gingham dress.
"Well, I'll be——" said youth-
ful Doughboy. "I can't stand that.

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WOMAN'S FORUM
To the Editor of the Kansas:
All women of the University should, be interested in the work of the Women's Forum. "But what is the Woman's Forum?" I can imagine a large class of the K. U. women, including almost all freshman women, asking, "How are you going to define statement—for some knowledge and organization and its work must precede any interest which they may take in the matter.
Two years ago the Woman's Forum was organized as a result of the movement for more active political life for women, and its purpose is to help the women of the University to keep well informed concerning current events so that they will be better prepared to enter the broadened political field open to them. Every Thursday at 4:30 o'clock, meetings are held, at which a member of the faculty, some student, or an outside speaker gives an interesting and instructive talk on important topics of the day, which is followed by a general discussion. Any questions concerning the University as well as those concerned with it are welcome. The kind are gladly discussed. Some of the women interested in the organization also have charge of a bulletin board in the rest room in Fraser Hall, which they keep well supplied with interesting news items and good magazine pictures depicting the important events of the day, especially those concerning women.
Since the future woman leaders in the political and public life of this state should naturally, to a large extent, come from the ranks of the women now attending the University women should take a greater interest in the work of the Forum. They should not let the victories gained for them in the political field be endangered by their own unpreparedness, but should take advantage of every opportunity better fitting themselves with the political life of public life to take a vital interest in this organization, she would find it helpful and enjoyable, and could make it a valuable part in her education. It is not impossible that the women could make this organization of such importance that its influence would be felt in the future political life of Kansas, and even the nation. It's up to the women of K. U.

Are you worth it?
Your present life of splendid opportunity—are you worth it? What are you doing on the Hill? Having a good time? Fine! May you continue to do so. College means joyous friendships. University life means plenty of fun. That is a big part of it. But are you learning anything? Are you trying to become somebody better and bigger than you when you came here? If not, you are an ingrate—you are dangerously shallow.
Church
Are you ready?
You were born into this world out of a mother's pain and a father's anxiety. What you now are is the result of mother love and father love and teacher love and a host of kindnesses shown you through all the years of your childhood. Your present opportunity is the rich heritage of the labors of all those who died in the faith in the long ago, of martyrs of magy a century, of the pioneers of this great commonwealth, of the thousands upon thousands of sons as dear as you who marched their weary way out in despair before the unappeasable Turk before he bought with a price—the price of all history's achievements, the price of these last splendid years, the price of every Calvary, of every Suffering Servant of the Living God.
Care-free, all the world before you,
the gates of knowledge open for your
entry; and millions of men and women
and little children hungry and naked and homeless. Are you worth it?
