MUSTERED OUT
THE University of Kansas had some artillerymen who had never seen a big gun, but they went to training camp. Then there were some infantrymen who were infants for sure, and they have gone too. The company of aviators who had never flown has been consolidated with a line outfit, and the marines who never smelled powder have likewise bade the University an adieu. And now the K. U. sailors who never saw the sea are to go.
Unequiped, unpaid, unrecommended for O. T. C's, K. U.'s freshwater navy to hold for a great deal of "kidding," but did it without any breakdown in the morale. The miscellaneously garbed company has hung together with a tenacity equalled by few of the other organizations. The camp listens willingly and approvingly to the reports, but rumors at present, that the navy is to receive its clothing, to be worn four months, and three months' pay before being discharged.
So they are leaving the camp, but not as a unit.
Most of the men will remain in school. Company D will always remember its barracks life, and many a reminiscent story will commence, "Yep, when I was in the navy at K. U.——"
Only the lack of an opportunity for "action," the only drawback of the S. A. T. C. in the eyes of many of its members, causes the seamen to apply for discharges. The discomforts of the barracks were unnoticed while the war went on, and they were willing to endure anything for a chance to transfer to the fleet and get into the seemingly inevitable North Sea scrap. But with the signing of the armistice—what was the use?
MADAM PRESIDENT
IT'S an old story now, telling about how women are stepping into jobs left vacant by men. Even a woman running for class president here causes little excitement. The men are too busy with other things this year. We suggest some new words for the beloved, "Mr. Zip, Zip, Zip."
If the men can't do it the women must."
Since the engineers, medies and soldiers are compelled to attend the libraries in the evenings, we suppose that the professors are nourishing the hope that the girls who have been neglecting their research work to attend the movies, will again become interested in those "Outside Readings" over at Spooner Library.
German air service officers are said to have carried off the former Crown Prince's oldest son to a place of safety. There is nothing like saving the pieces.
THINGS NOT SEEN
Of course it isn't pleasant to take a course in "war amnesia" when the war is over and all you'll ever get to see of it is a uniform—maybe not that. It isn't pleasant or profitable to learn about the habits and customs of the French peasantry and how to sleep in a French chicken coop. But it isn't exactly pleasant for the professor who is escolhing the course either. He and the University and the government didn't know the war was going to end so soon. The professor is trying his best to change his course into something interesting and worth while and he is having just as hard a time adjusting himself to new conditions as you are.
You'll just have to take your professor on faith right now; and he'll have to take a lot of you on faith, too. And you'll have to have faith in the results. Faith that they will be the things hoped for, although now they are not seen.
If 50,000 sheets of writing paper and 20,000 envelopes have been used by S. A. T. C. men who frequent the hostess house, how many bolts of pink ribbon have been used by the girls at home, who comfort themselves by tying and untying packages of letters to read to suffering families "what Fred says."

OUR CONDOLENCES, MADAM
Society note from Atchison—"Mrs. A. E. Hobbs was called back home from St. Joe by the death of her pet goldfish, Oscar."
KANSAS GAVE UNTIL IT HURT, ANY-
The Kansas schools find themselves in serious financial straits because of their patriotism. The schools spent all the money available in making ready for the intensive educational training the federal government asked for certain classes for the army. In order to meet the demand, it cost the state university something more than $100,-000.
Of course, Kansas will keep its schools going, and will make whatever appropriations are necessary to pay the bills. In the meantime, Kansas will have the satisfaction of knowing that its schools have followed the rule of patriots everywhere and have given until it really hurt.—K. C. Times.
Now, Kansas finds that Uncle Sam is poor pay. The government has not reimbursed the state, and Mr. Kimball, the state business manager for Kansas, can get no satisfaction as to when the federal treasury intends to "dig up". Therefore, the university and the agricultural college and the Faith Normal School are walking by faith and not by sight, so far as finances are concerned, and the coming legislature will have to make emergency appropriations to meet the situation until the government pays its bills.
Again the hen has been imposed upon. This time she has been used to hatch fish, according to "All Outdoors." If she is slightly disturbed when the ducklings she has raised float on the water, what must she think when the young fish flippantly ignore her admonitions and disappear from sight in the gloomy depths. If she has a spark of plink she will bristle and say, "Serves 'em right."

Sergeant: Well, sir, what part is it that you don't understand?
Bits of Readable Verse Discovered and Handed in by Readers of the University Daily Kansas
High in the Square stands Hindenburg, the Doomed,
before whose path has loomed
The fate of Fire when once the Red. Flower*s
Bleached
THE HUNDENBURG STATUE
For knew they not—the People—in that day
When, mad with conquest and the will to slay,
they drove the nails—the iron nails and strong-
Deep in the wooden body, how the long
flower opened into a way,
bringing the flower to bloom and then decay?
Know not the ebi话 this? The Leaders—Yea!
The Iron Essence, Sin—
That makes so strong before decays begin!
With purpose dire and grim,
With iron Crosses they have covered him;
At any food tool,
Their scapegoat and their tool.
To use and cast away
At end of day.
After the dover had bloomed what use of it h
They drove the great nails in—
Followed so swift the bloom-
The great strength that they gave
their heart to their love
It flashed and died away;
And wrought bethesda the doom
of war.
Followed so swift the bloom—
Now in the Square stands Hindenburg, the Spurned,
While his flower has turned
To dust and nashes gray,
At end of day.
Now in the Square stands Hindenburg. the
In the New York Sun.
Koncerning Konservation Get Busy and Save. Help Uncle Sam Cut the Costs
M. E. Buhler.
Conservation? You know conservation. It used to be "Conserve to help win the War." Now it is "Conserve to help pay the cost of Victory." The need of it remains the same. For Uncle Sam, now that the War is over, cannot sit peacefully back in his easy chair and take a well deserved rest. No, now is the time above all others when he must not relax a moment.
The expenses of war do not cease with the firing of guns. The money must go now, not for destruction, but for reconstruction. More than 120,000,000 men, women, and children of our Allies are now dependent wholly or in part on America for food to keep them alive. Uncle Sam must play dinner host to all of Europe—even to the latest guest—all-powerful and all-hungry Germany herself!
Our army of 2,000,000 men in France has not magically dissolved at the first breath of peace. It is still in France, not fighting, but working, guarding regained territory, helping in the great task of rebuilding a country ravaged and plundered by war. This army must still have the best that American can provide in the way of clothing, food and equipment, as must also the other army of over a million men in this country, men like yourselves who were willing to serve actively, but whose services were not required in that form. The nation is glad and eager to do all in its power to express its deep gratitude.
But that nation's expenses right now are going on at the rate of one and a half billions of dollars a month. Another Liberty Loan is looming on the horizon and taxes run merrily along, war or no war. Is it fair to impose any more than is absolutely necessary on your Government at this time of all times?
I yearn to lead a wasteful life, but I don't dare,
'cause, gee!
General Conservation's come to our camp to stay,
To save our scraps, patch up our clothes, and haul
our junk away.
Leland Stanford University has had another burden thrust upon it. In addition to gifts of $300,000 for a library; $80,000 for an art museum, and $50,000 to found a chair of investigation, it now has the remainder of the estate of Thomas Wetton Stanford to use for its immediate needs. These gifts, of course, are no part of the vast amount of money left the University by Leland Stanford, founder
Old General Conversation's got his awful eye on me!
K. U. needs a building or two and a physics clock. Can anybody come across?
He gazed at the paper many precious minutes,
then in deseration wrote:
"A dam sight more than ever went back!"
He trudged home to his hotel, muttering to him:
"Oh well, it's all off now."
Some time later an orderly knocked at his door. "Colonel, the president would like to see you, sir."
He went to the White House, feeling shaky. The president wrung his hand.
"Colonel, you're a man after my own heart," he cried. "Here are seven consulates. Which will you have?"
