A needle and thread will double the life of your clothing—IF USED
MORE PED NEEDED
AT a football game on McCook Field, recently the famous "Rock Chalk" was laughed almost beyond recognition by new students in the University. Half the rooters gave the yell high, while the other half had it pitched much lower and kept at least half a line behind the first section. Is that school spirit? It is wholly new to the University of Kansas. In other years, freshmen were required to master the college yell. Should they not be required to do so this year?
Since military no longer dominates on the Hill, it seems that ample time should be given by the college authorities to the revival of the school enthusiasm which has won so many victories for Kansas on the gridron. This could be done by pep rallies held at least once a week, and let them be of the "oi-oi-oi, every-body-out!" kind.
With military affairs no longer dominating, the men in the Student Army Training Corps are racking their brains for a stall that will get by the profs when they haven't their lessons. The old line of "we didn't have time to study" is useful no longer.
EDUCATING THE ARMY
ONE of the beneficial things the war has contributed to American people is the knowledge that universities may be used to give men and women a practical training in a short time.
The tradition of colleges and universities, that their usefulness is confined to students who can take a 4-year-course, has been discarded. The war has proved to the parents that the University can help the man or woman although he or she can not take a complete course. This has been tested in the education of a portion of our army men by giving them a course in eight weeks.
Although hostilities have closed, the War Department has made special arrangements whereby every American soldier in France is to have a chance to go to school. Upon the completion of this course he will receive a certificate. This work will be carried on while the army is being demobilized.
Do the men in the S. A. T. C. of the University of Kansas realize that they have the same opportunity given them here in America?
Has our unit here lost interest? The men here are going ahead. They are developing both mentally and physically and they are increasing their individual and national efficiency.
DORMITORIES AT K. U.
If the S. A. T. C. men move out, it is not only possible, but probable that K. U. women will move in.
For years the University of Kansas has been shying at the question of dormitories for women students. Now comes the opportunity for providing the women with bedrooms de luxe.
The barracks are fine room buildings, estimated to have cost $10,000 each. Eleven well built, substantial, serviceable barracks capable of housing 2200 girls! Could K. U. do better than to purchase them from the government for such a purpose?
Some of the advantages and conveniences that
Old fashioned roomy closets and dressers could be eliminated. Rows of hooks on the dormitory walls would serve the purpose. With the array of finery, pictures would not be necessary—or possible. As a dust collector, such an arrangement could not be equalled. Suit cases would replace trunks. Fewer clothes would be needed. For the sake of convenience, shelves might be constructed under each cot to hold hairpins, kid curriers and toothbrushes. Books would take the place of carpets and rugs. Study period drills would replace fire drills. With a little practice, a brief scramble under the bed would enable any girl to find the text book needed.
Light housekeeping might be undertaken conveniently. Half of the lower floor of each building, now used as a kitchen, could be equipped with chafing dishes and fudge recipes. It is also possible that light washing might be done.
The finest suggestion comes from a house mother. With four rows of cots lined in maidenly precision down the center of a common bedroom, it would be a simple matter to count the noses and estimate the number not in.
Possibilities without number could be enumerated. If K. U, women let the opportunity slide it may be a long time before they will have another chance equal to the present one for independence.
Koncerning Konservatory
Get Busy and Save. Help Uncle Sam
Cut the Costs
Men will win 'the War—ships will win the War —food will win the War—labor will win the War —conservation will win the War—well, they did!
The War is won. The German goose-stop has given way to the Foch trot and everybody's happy.
You men of the S. A. T. C. probably have a bit of regret mixed with your happiness, the regret of not having been there personally to see that things were properly wound up. It is certainly discouraging to be all nerved up to rush down and capture a burglar, and arrive on the scene to find the police have him neatly shackled. However, there's no use in feeling useless these days, for the door of service, far from being labeled "Closed since Nov. 11," is wider open than ever. And not the least of the ways of service is con-
And not the least of the ways of service is conservation.
Waste is one enemy that cannot be made to sign an armistice. It is fighting all the time, slyly, alertly, day and night, not in a spectacular manner, but quietly and insidiously. Every army camp and every S. A. T. C. camp in the country does not take active arms against it had better demobilize at once. Uncle Sam may not need you to fight for him, but he does need you to save for him. Save food. Take what you need on your plate, and no more. The doctrine of the clean plate is still fashionable. Save clothing by taking care of what you need. Needles, thread, shoe-brushes, soap and water may not be impressive weapons with which to fight, but they turn the trick. Save lights-turn 'em off when they are not in actual use. Save everything that you possibly can.
No need of Conservation now? More need than ever;
Conservation made the world safe for Democracy—and it's still on the job.
The armistice has not yet been signed between conservation and waste. And it never will be.
Without conservation in the past, we might not be celebrating today. Without conservation today we may not be celebrating tomorrow.
A raw recruit crossing the parade ground, making for the photograph studio to have his picture taken in the uniform he had just received, encountered a captain coming towards him, whom he stopped. Looking at his own uniform, and then at that worn by the officer, he said, "Gee, you're a lucky son-of-a-gun to get them swell leggins."
JEALOUSY
A WAR GIFT
A "Tommy," lying in a hospital, had beside him a watch of curious and foreign design. The attending doctor was interested.
"Where did your watch come from?" he asked.
"A German give it to me," he answered.
A little piqued, the doctor inquired how the foe had come to convey this token of esteem and affection.
"E 'ad to," was the laconic reply.—Toronto Globe.

Bits of Readable Verse Discovered and Handed in by Readers of the University Daily Kansan
SUDDENLY ONE DAY
(Found in the pocket of Capt. T. P. C. Wilson, killed in action.)
The last ill shall fall away.
The last little beastlines that is in our blood
Shall drop from us as the sheath drops from the bud.
And the great spirit of man shall struggle through
And spread huge branches underneath the blue,
In any mirror, be it bright or dim,
Man will see God, staring back at him.

"OVER THERE"
Private Albert R. Thompson, Company B, 31st Engineers, writing from France has the following interesting comments as an engineer to make regarding conditions in France:
"On the whole the Army is a surprise to me, for it is so far ahead of what I expected to find in France. The saving and shipping that you people are doing for the fellows over here sure does show up in fine shape here. I venture to say that the American soldiers as a whole have better living conditions, food, and all-around good conditions than can be produced under any similar circumstances by any other country.
"For instance, when you ask what I need, the only blessed thing that I can think of that I do not already have is safety razor blades—I am on my last two blades—and can't find any others of my kind in the country. Aside from one item, I have now as much of everything that I need as I had in civil life in the States, and some things that I did not have there.
"Just came away from a dinner of boiled beef, boiled potatoes with jackets, creamed carrots, Spanish sauce, bread and coffee. If a fellow can't work on that he must have indigestion, and if he can't fight on it he must have a yellow liver."
"The French roads are every bit as good as the United States roads, with the exception that ours are wider. But we have, also, about ten times the space to work on that they have. Their system of national and State roads is excellent. They are mostly macadam, and built from the ground up. If one of our ordinary macadam roads that the counties and States put down had to stand the strain put on these over here, I don't believe it would stand up over two months.
"Their bridges are fine—the ones I have seen over the Loire River anyway. They have built a dike along both sides of the Loire (don't know how far up it does go) that can't be beat anywhere. It has been filed in behind and is used as
a highway."—Boston Evening Transcript.
