FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1918
The war; nothing else matters.
It is likely that 1918 will be a record-breaker for number of Americans spending their summer in Europe.
"KNOCKERS' DAY"
Today we student get together behind closed doors far from the unholy ears of the faculty and tell ourselves what we think of the way things are run up here at the University. We shall have an expression of student opinion in regard to mid-week dance rules, the freshman cap tradition, the prof who holds his classes overtime, the lack of pep caused by faculty suppression of rullies—and, or yes, we have have a new one this year—the compulsory exercise ruling. No it would never do to leave that out. Let's hear from the representative of the School of Law the first thing.
Undergraduates you know as well as professors have their spleen, and every so often it just has to be vented. The faculty man has his opportunity every day, but the long-suffering students must confine their knocking to one day in the year. It is true that before the year is up they become so surcharged with bide that they live in constant dread of catastrophe from within, but now that Student Day, or as one faculty man expressed it, knockers' day, is here, they have an opportunity to voice their woes, air their grudges, and pronounce their anathemas, and their life here will be at least bearable for another year.
If one had to judge from the quiz books other students show him he would be forced to conclude that instructors here never give grades other than A's and B's.
THREE MILLION PLUS
Secretary of War Baker went over and got shot at. Then he came back and said "Three million quick for God's sake!" This morning he disappointed the sweet peace hopes of sublimely, typically American, progressive optimism, by telling Congress that the three million were for 1918-1919, and that men could be sent even faster in 1920.
England hanging on by her teeth, France punching up hard though with knives against the earth that reels underneath, Germany coming on and on...at last Mr. Baker is right. He never has been wrong; he hasn't been right enough. Now he knows. Soon this country will realize knows. Soon this country will realize. Its war is just beginning. And America is in to the end.
For a young man, for a Kansan,
for a Kansan at the State's University
which was built on a battleground,
this is the greatest of all eras in which to be born, to live, and
to labor. His duty shall be the envi-
sion of generations to come. His con-
spicuousness of it now is his lisis oter-
nal reward. Be it remembered he iis
to be multiplied by millions and more
millions. For they will all answer
they will all come. They will know
to what they come and why they
come, and they will be ready to giv
the supreme gift once given by
Americans to Americans but now t
be given by Americans to the whole
world.
--well, I never " was his comment;
THE WORLD AFTER THE WAR "History in the future will dat from June, 1914," said Senator Chauncey M. Depow, in a recent speech in New York, "When the reorganization and reconstruction are completed there will be a new era i this world, with new problems. The vital things of the past will have relation to the present, and in the evolution of industry the undreaches of former times will be the reality of the hour. Every nation will be too absorbed in its sorrows, it losses, its burdens, the problems o its reconstruction and of its relation to the rest of the world and its future safety to care for the past which preceded the war.
"There are thirty-seven million men on the battle fronts in all the continents and seven seas of the world. The problems of their absorption, after the discipline and experience of the camp, in the economic life of nations is to be one of the most serious which has ever engaged the attention of statesmen. Therefore I believe this new world will be absorbed wholly in its statesmanship and its literature with a world which has been devastated and is to be ree-created."
ATHLETICS IN WAR
In this period of adjustment to the demands of war we are often misled by false conceptions of what is the best policy to fit ourselves for the duties that will be required of us. At the present time there is a tendency to minimize the importance of physical training and athletic sports on the ground that they lack opportunity. There is a tendency to eliminate athletics altogether and in their place to substitute military drill.
Anyone who is familiar with the requirement of the soldier's life will recognize the short-sighted policy advocated. The soldier must have a sound and healthy body; he must be able to endure long periods of exposure; he must have the physical strength to execute every command. The *man who has trained himself to endure the severe strain of a football game is the better qualified to undergo the hardships of trench life.
Military instruction and athletics must work hand in hand to produce the real American who will win the war on the fields of France. The former must give him the knowledge of what he is to do; the latter must give him the physical power and confidence in his ability to do it.
A policy of military training alone, without athletics and physical education as a supplement, is directly contrary to the view taken by the military authorities themselves, who regard athletic sports as a fundamental part of their training camp activities. As a matter of fact the rigid requirements of fitness for military service emphasize the essential nature of physical education and athletic sports—Cincinnati University News.
MENTAL LAPSES
"Eh-yah!" disgustedly said the Missourian. "He is the kind of a cuss that is always trying to make somebody else's dog shake hands with him."
On the Plains of Picardy—"Mein Gott, Fritz, can't you run a little faster?"
STILL IN STIPPS
When the donkey saw the zebra,
He began to switch his tail;
Well, I learn "you" was his comment;
"There's a mule that been in jail.
—American Boy,
Fritz“Share, but there’s a bullet going right ahead of me and I’m afraid of running into it.”—Froth.

Celeste—Say, what do you think this is? —a W. C. T. U. convention or are you broke? —Pellecan.
Tommy—Drink to me only with
thine eyes, mon petit.
KANSAN PRIZE POEM CONTENT
Every One Deserves Something
I'm part of the lightning flashes, I'm part of the moaning quay.
I'm part of the flower beside the road,
I'm part of the sun that shines.
THE COSMIST By P. Young.
I'm part of the wind that dashes off
To kiss the new-born day;
I'm part of blessed Kansas.
I'm part of the wolf that whines;
'm part of the life of the croaking toad,
I'm part of the little old States,
*m part of the world that caners of*
*Witch loves and its fears and*
*Wits.*
'm part of the whispering sea breeze
With the tang of the waves on its
head.
I'm the self of the teeming millions
That are rushing down to death;
Today I'm a chanting high-priest, Tonight, a crouching thief.
tomorrow, the life and essence
Of the lurking coral reef;
I'm part of the heavens above me,
I'm part of the star spangled sky,
I'm part of the wretch that lies
I'm part of the dashing sea waves,
I'm part of the shifting shore,
I'm part and parcel of all there is,
I shall BE forevermore.
In outstretched fathomless woe to
SOLDIER'S EVE
We came away
By P. Young.
Our wounds a-gap and bleeding.
And dreamed of loved ones needing.
At bloody cost.
