UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
STILL ON THE BORDER
Student Members of National Guard Unable to Return Home
HAD A HARD SUMMER
Are Real Soldiers Now—But Books Look Better Than Bayonets
It was a rather happy lot of University men who blithtely entrained for the Mexican Border last June, following the call of the Kansas National Guard to the colors. One hundred and eight strong they were—stalwart, strapping young fellows in golden khaki uniforms. They smiled as they boarded the train to a city a story "Rock Chalk" as they were speeded on their journey. There was no hesitation about their response to the country's need.
Then came long summer weeks underneath the Texas sun—weeks of hard labor, rigorous drill, and hot, sleepless nights. Gradually, the men became accustomed to the warm climate of the desert. Constant use, and the virgil on the border took on the aspects of a vacation as the students became used to their soldierly life. They are real soldiers now—"rookies" no longer.
I WANT TO DO BACK
And as they go through their daily routine down the street on to border, run into a tree when they think of old Mount Oread, and wish heartily that they might be back in Lawrence for the opening of school. Soldier life is all right for a month or so, they say, but books and studies now seem more attractive than fire-arms and dog tents.
No one knows, of course, when the students on the border will be allowed to return home. The rumor has been prevalent for some time that the students at Eagle Pass would be mustered out before the opening of school; and dispatches to that effect have been printed in the newspapers. But with the first day of enrollment almost at hand, the students at Eagle Pass still retained at Eagle Pass, Texas.
Fifty-eight men were members of the company when the first call was issued last June. They responded at once, and were sent to Texas immediately. A large number of recruits were deployed after the attacks on the troops they, as well as the regular members of the militia, are held at the border.

IT LOOKED LIKE TROUBLE;
BUT IT PASSED OVER
After nearly going on a strike on this subject of renting rooms to women students, the landlords of Lawrence have at last rebelled; and now they are rooming house kept by Mrs. Eustace Brown is steadily growing.
landlades are unwilling to rent rooms to women students who expect to join sororities and then go to their sorority house to live," said Mrs. Brown Saturday. "The women refuse to sign contracts for the rooms, and want to engage them only for a short time. And the landlades, naturally, want to their rooms to students who will keep them during the entire year."
TWO MEN HANDLE ALL HILL NEWS CORRESPONDENCE
"One trouble we have noted is that
Two men, Alfred "Scoop" Hill and Paul Brindel, will handle practically all of the K. U. correspondence for the Topeka and Kansas City papers during the coming year. Hill who had the Topeka Capital letter also helped the Kansas City Journal by reason of the graduation of Neil Cline.
Brindel has succeeded to all of the Star's correspondence both news and sport, because Raymond Clapper, formerly news correspondent, prefers to retain a good position on the Star's website and is well known in school. The Kansas City Post has as yet named no correspondent on the Hill for this year.
Baseball proved more of a lure for "Connie" Poirier, second string Var variable pitcher last season, than the opening week of school, so this week will find "Frenchie" up near his home on the left side of the place on the slab staff of his town team. Poirier pitched ball practically all summer and was remarkably successful losing only one game. With Red Craig, engaged, and not returnning to spring, he will prove a hard man next spring for as soon as Kas sine nine.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Jap Glaso returned to school with a new suit and admits he made more than his share of money. His is the man who helped and he worked it in Leavenworth.
John Van Houten Challiss, amateur actor and former president of the University Dramatic Club, is back in Lawrence after an absence of two weeks. Challiss alternated trips to Kansas City and Bean Lake, Mo., with Summer Session classes during his "vacation."
Katherine Redling, c'18, spent a portion of her vacation in Colorado. The Redling family motored to Glenwood Springs. On their return trip drove through three hundred miles of mud, and suffered seven blowouts.
Warren Wattles, c18, spent a portion of his vacation in the harvest fields. Wattles worked for over a year on the farm of Oscar Brownlee, c17.
Harry Morgan, a junior in the department of journalism, worked for three months this summer as a reporter on the Pittsburg Headlight. "I have annexed considerable of that experience," he said. "Experience!" he wrote to a friend. Morgan came back to Lawrence Friday.
Don Davis, news-shagger for the Kansan, spent a lively summer in his home town of Downs. Davis held down three jobs at a time for over a decade. He then became Downs Anniversary Celebration; reporter on the Downs News; and soda
Alex Creighton, who graduated last year, is now employed by the J. L Case company as a collector. Creighton has headquarters in Concordia.
Jared Bagdag Jackson, 1'7, worked in a freight depot at Atchison during the summer months. The Kansas heat was too much for him; after loss of equipment, he forced Fright, he journeyed to Minnesota for a short vacation on the lakes.
unsponser in the leading drug store and general merchandise emporium of the city, "The Celebration was the first time they returned to the University," "There were 18,000 people there on both of the last two days. That's pretty good for a town of 1,600." After the Celebration event, Davis spent two weeks in Colorado.
Jack Elliott, hurdler on Coach Hamilton's K. U. track team for the past two seasons, is in town for rush week with a "bear cat" Overland roadster he acquired this summer while in Colorado. Elliott will teach and coach athletics this year at the Carbondale high school.
Out in the central part of Kansas a number of teachers who attended the institute meetings were forced to place their names on the dotted line by C. A. Randolph, senior president last year, and D. R. Foster, book agent. He modestly affirms that selling books is far more remunerative than dabbling in politics.
Garnett McCaleb, College '18, whiled away his vacation in Indiana-polis where a particularly easy book will enter the School of Law this year.
Fred Pausch spread the summer at his home in Atchison. He worked a while but spent most of the time in cultivating a growth on his upper lip.
The dry summer beat many a fruit tree agent out of a fortune but Boots Gear managed to get in seven weeks which were sufficient to fill his pockets with coin of the realm. He returned early to get the Student Council's co-op bookstore in shape for the opening of school.
Handling Chandler is a man's job but Horace Chandler says he was equal to the occasion on even the hottoe hat. Horace Chandler's father is a lumberman at Atchison.
Floyd Welsh, star of last year's freshman track team, has been doing the heavy all summer at his home in Miami. He also looks to look over football conditions as he
may test his strength in that department.
