GET ACQUAINTED
Every day you go to class Get acquainted;
Walk right up present yourself,
Don't be tainted
With a lot of tommy-rot,
Use your nerve, you've got a lot.
Get acquainted.
Summer Session is not long
Get acquainted;
Say hello, and say it strong,
Don't be coated
With a lot of sissy frills
Like the doctor's liver pills,
Get acquainted.
"Bade Battery C God-speed"—bet ter bid them more speed.
SHALL WE FORGET THEM
Now that K. U. has sent three score of her students and professors to the border, is she to forget them? Foxt Riley may not be a lonesome place, but the border certainly is; especially, to a man accustomed to University Life.
If you can't do any more, drop a post card to that guardians you knew here at K. U. Tell him that his friends still think of him and hope to see him back on the Hill soon. He may be too busy to answer, but it will recall old times to him, and Freshen his memory of life on Mt. Oread.
A matter of a little time and a few cents postage, may brighten the corner of some "dog tent" on the border.
Next fall when the whole student body comes back, the national guard's places may be vacant. Then why not take K. U. to them by sending the Daily Kansan to them?
It's the little things that count.
There's many a sharper lives in a flat.
GET BUSY M. K.
We need something to draw us together. We ought to get acquainted, and as there are not many of us, this we can easily do if some one will take the lead. Then let us begin with a picnic at Woodland Park or Cameron's Bluff on July Fourth. And M. K. will you respond to the cause which you so strongly advocated in your communication?
Dean Kelly in answer to the communication signed M. K, suggests that the students of the Summer Session have a picnic on July Fourth. Furthermore he appoints M. K. chairman of a committee on parties and plenies. He authorizes M. K. to choose the committee and carry out some program of get-together functions with the assurance of hearty co-operation from the faculty.
"Whole Pacific Fleet Out"—at the heel?
A DAY IN JUNE
Now that June is here, the month whose praises have ever been sung by bards, the month "When heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays," the month when all things are or should be happy, from June brides to ambitious school teachers, a climb to the roof of Fraser Hall rewards one with the most beautiful panoramic views in Kansas.
Just above in the turquoise skies, the fleece clouds of summer drift lazily about. To the south stretches the peaceful valley of the Wakaruna, dotted with its miniature homes; to the southeast one sees Haskell Institute with Blue Mound in the background rising clear and distinct from out of the distant haze. To the east lies the town, quiet and immobile beneath a huge tent of green. One can
hardly see the homes, concealed as they are by the numerous trees, but the tower of the courthouse and a portion of Watkins National bank rise from out the mass of foliage. One can also follow with his eyes, the business blocks on Massachusetts Street, but the remainder of the town resembles a forest, so dense do the trees of Lawrence appear. In the north, gleam stretches of the river gleam through the foliage of green.
How strangle the hill looks below. One never knew before how Green Hall was nestled among the trees. Spooner Library seems much smaller than one supposed it to be. The newly mown campus resembles a carpet of the softest velvet, so level and smooth it appears. How tiny are the people below, strolling about on the campus. And "Wherever we look, wherever we listen, We hear life murmur and see it glisten." The harmony of it all, above, and all about is complete. Seeing which, one wonders with the poet, "What is so rare as a dawn in June."
RECREATE AWHILE
Recreation has been suggested by experts as a cure. Many have the idea that recreation can only be had by traveling long distances and by the expenditure of much money. Then when they return they wonder why they are so tired. The trouble is they have the wrong idea about recreation.
It is not necessary to work hard now in order to take a vacation later. Take a few minutes each day or several hours on Saturday and "recreate." The vicinity of Lawrence offers many places for an hour's vacation, and you will not need to spend wearisome hours studying time tables or spending round silver dollars for a ticket in order to reach some summer resort.
What would you enjoy more than a hike to Cameron's Bluff, the Wakarusa or on a few miles farther to Blue Mount? If the day is too warm for a long hike, walk out across the golf links to Windmill Hill. The view across the valley will repay you for the effort and the time expended.
QUIT KNOCKING AND BOOST He is a disciple of Mr. Gruen, "The University is an ungoody institution," he said. "The students here are frivolous and shallow. The class rooms are poorly ventilated. All the professors are either antiquated or don't know anything; even the moving pictures given in the chapel are disgusting."
There are several more like him. With a faculty of earnest men the University is progressing fast, but persons of that sort never see anything good. They are complaining nothing is ever just right. But what are they doing to make the University better? Nothing, they merely make it worse. If you are one of these fault finders it is time for you to turn around and get on the right track. Do your part to make the University better and you will not say that it is all wrong.
GAMES A TEST OF CHARACTER
A Kansas writer has said that if one will watch any group of people a half hour at a game of tennis, he will find out as much about their characters as if he had spent a half a day in that guarded, best-foot-forward conversation which is the ordinary intercourse between human beings.
Not only is this true of tennis but it applies to any game of chance or skill. Here one finds the individual who plays splendidly if he wins a point but if he loses a point he loses his interest too. Then there is the man, who barely plays until he finds he is losing, when he plays with concentrated effort. There is the man who enters enthusiastically into the game but soon loses interest and wants to quit. There is the man who always has an excuse—the hand was not dealt correctly or the score keeper made a mistake or luck was against him. We are all too familiar with this type. We can find all of these characteristics in the players at the game of life.
So many young men are dreamers—in day time as well as by night,
or in the dark.
Dreaming of impossibilities, things that are way out of sight;
that are way out of sight;
Now it may be all right just in fancy
Dreaming, perpetually dreaming, or in class just the same,

DREAMERS
But forget about being the President

Flunking in all recitations, and none but themselves to blame;
Though it's all right to think of the future, to imagine great things just
Editor Summer Session Kansan:
The wireless course which will be given in the University next winter will be a good thing.
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith and must be published without the writer's own consent.
CAMPUS OPINION
The average man is all too ignorant of things wireless at present, and with the increasing use to which wireless is being put daily, it is certain the future will see greater use for knowledge of the principles of the wireless.
Don't go ninety per in that Merceen, till all the Descriptive is done.
Altogether, the course will be beneficial to many students, and ought not to be allowed to die for lack of enrollment.
To the person who expects to teach, ability to handle a wireless course will be a great help, for there is more and more of it in school. The object by high school youths every day.

BRAWN
We learn from the Yale Alumni Weekly that of the forty-five fortunes from the junior class who were "tapped" on May 18 for Yale's three "amous secret senior societies, thirty-ive, or seven-ninths, have athletic records.
"She wears too much jewelry." "Think so?"
D. Runk—Two fellows hit me with some beer bottles.
"I do. No fun to hold a hand like that. You can get the same sensation by holding a handful of curtains or just wrist watch." —Kansas City Journal
TOO MUCH METAL
As the greatest honor that can come to a Yale undergraduate is considered to be an election to "Bones," "Keys of" "Wolf's Head," it follows that the athletic ideal is still paramount at New Haven.
She- *Bell won't let* John marry her until after he graduates. He will.
She- Oh, you horrid thing! You can not! - Widow.
And yet the common sense of mankind never has rated and probably never will rate athletic aptitude better than other human values.—The Independent.

Fred—I've just invested in a sound prosecution.
Habits are largely acquired unconsciously in youth, but there is nothing to prevent their being deliberately taught. The general condition of the habits, therefore, gives clues first of all to the personality, then to early training, and, most importantly, this last condition that plays such an important part in our daily life. All of us, like Achilles, have a vulnerable spot somewhere about us, and it it well to understand how it can be addressed—Direction of Desire—Bigh.
