AGGIES INSTEAD OF TIGERS
THE breaking of traditions and precedents, as well as all manner of heresies from the teachings of the past, continues. K. U. men are marched to parties in military formation and leave them in the same manner at a stated hour. Class elections, usually the first excitement of the year after rush week, have not yet been held at this late hour. Without a doubt, this is a record-making and record-breaking year in the University's history.
Not the least of the features which will make this a year to date reminiscences from is the change in the football classic of the season. Since time immemorial the Tiger team has had a standing date on the Kansas program for Thanksgiving Day. Alternating between Columbia after Kansas City had been abandoned, the games have been attended by rooters from both schools and football enthusiasts from all parts of the two states.
The Tiger this year, however, is still convulencing from the influenza, and the team which called out the Jayhawk's best efforts in all times past will spend the holiday in quarantine. Followers of both teams are keenly disappointed in the turn of events, but sport fans here will not want for a good exhibition of the autumn past time, for the Aggies are coming.
Since the scoreless tie of year before last, interest in games between the two state institutions has developed into a more realistic rivalry than ever before. When the game arranged for early in the season was cancelled, the local management began to figure a deficit on the season. But now that the game will be played and will be the only big game of the season, things are looking brighter financially.
The big game this year will be an all-state affair. It will bring hundreds of roots here on special trains if the weather is up to football standard and the stands will be crowded as they have not been this season. The regulation celebration will take place at night if the expected victory results and it will be Thanksgiving with all the trimmings after all.
The S. A. T. C lads aren't so stupid after all.
They voted early and often Monday night to get out of the trenches before Christmas—and before the dandelion season on the Hill opened.
GOT AN EXTRA PLATE?
F Aunt Susie and Cousin Samantha have chickens in their back yard or plenty of sugar, flour and other makings in their cupboard, why ask them over to Thanksgiving dinner? They can fix their own and feel just as thankful.
There are so many follows a couple of hundred miles or so from home who can't seem to get a "turkey spirit" when they know that they will have to "return thanks" over a "bought and paid for" dinner. Ask some of those homeless "gobbs" and "grinds" to share the real thing with you, and let those well-cared-for relatives of yours do the same.
It isn't too late to take up the receiver and make a "dinner-date" with some one to whom a real home dinner will be something of a treat.
If you can make someone forget that he is a long way from home from the pleased expression on his "geography" will fill you with the real Thanksgiving spirit.
Don't try to eat the whole turkey yourself.
Ever notice that the fate of the oppressor is usually banishment from the front page? Just think of Weyler, Geronimo, Raúlul, Huerta, amately, Potsdam Bill.
The epidemic rumor and the rumor epidemic the past few weeks remind us greatly of Aesop's fable about the lad who cried, "Wolf, wolf!"
GIVE US A BASKET BALL TEAM
WE urge that the military authorities release the S. A. T. C. men from 4:30 to 6 o'clock each evening for Varsity basketball practice. We feel that Coach W. O. Hamilton can put a rousing "Go Get Them" team on the floor in a few weeks if he is but given the time to get his men in line. The students at the University of Kansas can not and must not lose the spirit and pep a basket ball team gives to the college. We must keep up our athletic record. We know we have the material for a good vigorous basket ball team and here's hoping we have one,
About this S. A. T. C. argument: It begins to look now as if the war would end up in a big fight.
The lads who didn't get into the S. A. T. C. are quite fly with the women, but their reign will end when the Student Army and the Student Navy are disbanded. But every dog has his day, and when the boys come home from France somebody else's sun will set.
MAYBE YOU SAW THIS
THE girl who approached was a stranger to him and he would probably never see her again; the cigarette was going nicely, but he took it from his mouth as she approached him and did not replace it until she had passed.
He stood idly watching the people get off the train not expecting anyone in particular when along came a girl acquaintance. He had just lighted a cigarette but he throw it down. His courtesy was so noticeable that she told her friends about it afterwards.
THE BIRTH OF THOUGHT
Everyone is doing some thinking now. This has been a bitter struggle for the nations of the world, but the percentage of people taking note of themselves and their relationship to life has increased measurably.
There is nothing more encouraging for the progress of civilization than that thought is now throbbing in the great mass of people. There has been a searchlight playing upon the world illuminating mankind.
Were we living badly in 1913? Were we losing what wisdom we had gathered? Were unworthy, selfish people; people of chicarney, getting the upperhand? Had prosperity and a little knowledge made us thoughtless of life and duty? There has been a great change since then. A sense of responsibility sweeping upon more and more of us. We are feeling that we must have been offending a great law and that we had to be purged.
But what a sacrifice! Millions of wonderful men and women on the pyre. By this sacrifice we have had a great life upward towards being happier people. It has left us the legacy of unselfish thinking; if we can only hold it!—Los Angeles Times.

CHINESE SITUATION SERIOUS
One of the Washington citizens recently saw Admiral Gleaves, the man who drove the submarines away from the Pershing floatis, walking in civilian clothes. There is an order requiring officers to wear uniform at all times. The citizen went to Secretary Daniels,
"Mr. Secretary," he whispered breathlessly,
"I just saw Admiral Gleaves in citizen's clothes.
Why is he in disguise?
"Sh!" said the Secretary, "It's the Chinese situation."
"Chinese situation:
"Yes," replied the secretary, in all seriousness.
"Admiral Gleaves' last clean uniform did not come back from the laundry."
"Chinese situation?"
A recruit having enlisted with the first run of applicants, was walking down the company street when he passed an officer whom he failed to salute. The officer stopped him and asked: "How long have you been, here?" The recruit smiled a friendly smile and answered: "Three days. How long have you?"

Previous to joining the army he had been a lawyer. Getting back to camp rather late one night he was challenged by the sentry. Obtaining no response, the latter lifted his rifle and roared:
"If you move you are a dead man."
"Allow me to remark, my good man," said the lawyer soldier, "that your statement is absurd. If I move it is excellent proof that I am alive. To my mind it is incomprehensible that—"
"Pass, Mr. Blackstone," said the sentry.—Buffalo News.
