MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1916 THE K. U. SPIRIT RETURNS Pedants who prescribe pleasanry are like cripples who deciy dancing. The first football game is less than two weeks away. Isn't it about time for that good old K. U. Spirit tr awaken? Would it not show enthusiasm if a large part of the student body would go down to McCook Field and watch the team working out in practice? Would that not be a good time to practice a "Rock Chalk"? Would it not put pop and fight into the men out there on the field? If we can help the football team in this way, why not try it? Let's be out there at McCook and awaken that K. U. spirit of "the good old days." WHY IS A GIRL? Last year there were rooms—fine large, bright cheery rooms—for girls! This year there are none. So it has seemed to the footsore, weary waders who have passed up and down the streets of Lawrence, seeking always for a home and finding it—not! The answer is always the same: "We are not taking girls this year." And as the girls turn sadly away, from the second-story windows come noisy guffaws and curly wreathes of blue tobacco smoke. Why—oh, why? Some of the fraternity men pulling in freshman pledges are like Kidd Napp>Kidd Napp, the famous kid napper, seeing the kid napping, kidmapped the napping kid. Do you want to do your share in the semi-centennial this year? DO YOUR SHARE K. U. celebrates her fifty-first year with a large increase in attendance. In numbers of students and scholastic attainments she may be destined, for all we know, to become the greatest university in the Middle West. But her building facilities and appropriations have failed to keep pace with her other growth. Every available room is now being utilized and by next semester will be overcrowded. Now is the time to pull for appropriations, as the legislature meets this winter. You may know some senator or representative to whom you can appeal. We will all have to work, and work hard for the Mill Tax. The University must have an assured annual income instead of uncertain bi-annual gifts. When the official celebration takes place in the spring let it be a Thanksgiving service for the Mill Tax. Personal work will make is possible. Get busy. In the Soda Parlor She-Oh, here's a Billie Burke Special. I wonder what it is? He (with) scowl, scanning the profile of scowl cents, if you know what that is! -Nebraska Awgwan. Mutt—Ain't nature wonderful? Jeff—Why? Mutt—She gives us all faces, but we can pick our own teeth. WANT ADS Lampoon. FOR SALE CHEAP-$Slightly used psychology text-books by Ogden, Jobe and Farker.
