REMEMBER RED CROSS
MONDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1918.
This week, when you start up town full of enthusiasm for buying Christmas presents, remember that the Red Cross drive to renew its annual membership is to be held next week, and leave a dollar at home so that you won't be "financially embarrassed" when called on.
The Red Cross still needs funds badly to continue the work among the French refugees and the hundreds of thousands of American soldiers who are still in France. Students have had a good many demands made on their pocketbooks lately, and for that reason every person will be asked to contribute just one dollar to renew his membership.
Let us not go on the false idea that the war is over and we can afford to be extravagant. Red Cross subscriptions are as imperative now as they ever were. Can't we afford to cut out some of these useless presents this year to keep up our membership in an organization that stands for as much as the American Red Cross does?
Ve Campus note contributes this:
Ye Campus pote contributes this:
Watch the S.A.T.C. marching down
It's a sight that's mighty fine.
They're the boys who were to cross
the salty brine—
- Drive the Huns beyond the Rhine
When our Uncle Sam he needs men with educated mind
The Student Army Training Corps he found was just the kind,
Though the boys they did not get into the game
THE WATER SITUATION
While even the managers of the Lawrence water plant have admitted that the city water supply is not pure enough for, drinking purposes, the only thing provided so far this year for students and faculty to drink is water from the city mains.
The man or woman who works on the Hill nearly all day faces the alternative of drinking the "aquarium" that comes out of the fountains in the halls, or of trying to work with a painful thirst distracting his attention and injuring his health.
The University Health Department has repeatedly condemned Lawrence water, but the Senate has failed to act upon their advice. The excuse given is that the city water company has promised to start the New Year right with better water, and that students' waste of water makes the project too expensive.
Never before, however, has the University believed the promise and waited for the downtown water supply to improve. Never before has it been too expensive to give the students absolutely pure water on the Hill. This year the Senate has been grossly negligent.
THUH UNIFORM—
Sure, the boys should be given their uniforms! Even the sailors who have sailed merely on Mount Oread should not have to surrender those trousers which go up side down or those "round top" caps that are down side up.
In thirty or forty years it will be interesting to see them march about in these togs on Memorial Day. With those clothes on, they will make us all sniffle when we think how they fought the war on the campus and environs.
Our old friend Jupiter Pluvius did his best to make Lord Charnwood feel at home, Friday.
STAY WITH US!
Some of the S. A. T. C. fellows say, "I'm going to leave this place just as soon as I get my discharge. Sure, I'm going on to school. But there are other schools, and a fellow doesn't get treated there like he does here."
The man who says that is usually here for the first time, and fails to realize that while he has been living at the barracks it has been impossible for him to get more than a glimpse of the true University life. The military life here has been more than that of an army cantonment than life in many other S. A. T. C. camps for other schools have housed their men in fraternity houses while they here all lived in barracks, and this fact has prevented the men from entering into college life even as much as the men at other schools.
The facilities for study here have been very poor and the men have suffered needlessly on this account. By building the barracks after the Camp Funston style, no places for study tables were left, and the men were compelled to study on their bunks, while those at other schools had tables in their rooms. For this reason, no fault of the University, the men here have been inconvenienced until some are planning to leave the University on this account.
Think it over,men
The saddest thing that has come out of this S. A. T. C. business is that some of the men think the military hair-cut is becoming.
We wonder if we shall see more rosy cheeks after the new health lectures next quarter. Here's hoping we get some natural winter roses.
Jayhawk snapshot seekers are out for clever photos. The old fraternity bath tub will now have its annual picture taken.
Professor Hekking needs both men and women to pose for students in the art department. Why not make it a part of the work of the beauty contestants to use their spare time in capitalising their superior physiognoms and make 25 cents a period at the same time?
Reconstruction courses will be offered second term by history professors. This is done with a purpose. Now every student may devote an hour a day to telling how he would have managed the war if he had it in his hands.
Now that the administration building is completed, other structures on he campus are so small they look like play houses.
The street car workmen in Kansas city have gone on another strike and practically the whole city is walking again. Do you suppose the people if Lawrence would know it if the street car workers here would strike?
Will you be wearing your Red Cross button when the boys come home?
Campus Opinion
To The Kansan:
This Column is Open to all Students of the University
Are the college students here receiving everything they should from an educational body such as the University of Kansas? It is true they are receiving book learning and physical and moral training.
The big question is, "are students preparing themselves for their future
Many men and women who are attending the University this year apparently do not have a definite aim or goal in mind. Why does this condition exist? Is it due to the fact that many of our students do not understand their courses? Do they lack self initiative? Is there a method by which this deficiency may be corrected?
Could not a board, composed of men and women who fully understand the various advantages to be gained by specializing in this or that vacation, be organized, and appointments for private consultation granted?
Would the formation of a board of advisors to assist students in choosing courses be a good idea?
Is not the time for the organization of such a body at hand? The University Senate would be taking a great forward step in organizing such a board for the assistance of students in choosing their work the second term.

When to talk of peace was treason he went highly talking peace,
He has faith and he has vision; he has seen the port afar;

It's the Ipswich switch which I require.
And the nations warm for union need a guiding hand;
You've switched my switch on the wrong wire;
The tongue twisting type of song that began with "She sells sea shells on the seashore" in the song of the day in London, where its latest manifestations, sung by the American comedian, Jack Norworth, runs:
which switch is the switch, miss, for Ipswich?
You've switched me on Northwish,not Inswitch.

If you tell it me which switch is North

Clip This Out and Send it to the K. U. Boy in France
—Duluth News-Tribune.
Dear Old Pal:
Everybody at K. U. is looking forward to school after vacation and telling the freshmen that they will see what real University life is when second quarter begins after the holidays. Everything has been so mixed up this fall that the upperclassman hardly recognize the old place.
But all the S. A. T. C. will be demobilized by December 21 and maybe the "flu" will be over by then too; it certainly can't last much longer. Capt. B. T. Scher, who has been commanding officer to the S. A. T. C., will leave for his home in the East soon and the reign of the military at K. U. will be only a memory. This does not mean that we don't like Captain Scher all right but army life and student life don't mix. Tubby, that's all.
All the class elections, athletics, and the Jayhawker Beauty contest, which, by the way, is to be called "Mistletoe Beauties" this year, have been put off until after Christmas. The men are more interested in getting releases from the army and navy now than they are in picking out the prettiest girls. That is, most of them are. Our latest scandal involves one of our frisky surgeants who was so zealous in the cause of "the Favored one" that he collected a lot of votes from unsuspecting men who were ignorant of the rules of the game and turned them in for the candidate he is upholding. The votes were caught in time, though, and put where they belonged. We who have watched the progress of other so-called "Beauty contests" are not surprised at anything, are we, Tubby?
Basketball practice will begin in earnest second quarter. Some fine material for the five has been found, mostly in the naval section of the S. Navy, where the club and "dutch" Lonburg of well-known fans will be back next quarter.
Lawson May, who has been in training at Camp Hancock, Ga., Marvin Harms, who has been at Officers' Training School at Camp Pike, and Herschel Washington, who has also been in the service and is president of the Men's Student Council, visited us this week. They will all be in school next term. The girls are afraid that their little triumph will end when all these old guns are brought forward again.
A series of entertainments have been put on the past week for the S. A. T. C. and these will continue until vacation. The idea it to interest the men is that they will want to re-examine next quarter and get a taste of real University life.
Administration building is almost finished and it will be ready to welcome the old K. U. men when they come back. So will all of us students and the teacher. We will pitch his ears and act less bored when you and the rest return.
That's what we're all thinking about and talking about "When the Boys Come Home." Until then,
HARD ON THE LIEUTS.
Yours, TUBBY.
Lieutenants who used to drive cream-colored underslurs racers, and were in the habit of telling confidentially how "she'd make over 70 any time you stepped on her," won't have much chance to travel along French roads so fast that the popular trees look like a wall.
The Sunbeams and Packards and Wintons of the A. E. F. have got to be mighty circumspaces on the open roads and in the towns of the S. O. S. from now on. For the word has been passed round that M. P.'s on motorcycles are flitting around the headquarters towns, and they're going to be just as rough as the township constable who used to build a new porch to his house out of one week's justice court fees—Stars and Stripes.
