"Boy, page Senor Villa." With the Republican Convention in Chicago, Lord Kitchner's death, and the Verdun assault still going on, what chance has a poor Mexican bandit to get even an inside position these days.
WILL YOU DO YOUR "BIT"?
That Summer Session class in military tactics offered by Captain Frank E. Jones, of the K. U. company of the National Guard of Kansas, is a personal challenge to every able bodied man attending the Summer Session, to do his "bit" towards getting the nation ready for the inevitable.
Out here in the Middle West where pacifism persists in lingering, it is refreshing to find a man like Captain Jones who is willing to make a personal sacrifice that the men of the state who are attending summer classes may be able to go back to their homes with at least an elementary knowledge of the most vital subject of the day. Equally important, these volunteers will forever be cured of any lingering traces of the disease called "peace at any price," and will be able to do their share in helping to eradicate this insidious doctrine that threatens the foundations of the nation even as Calhounism and "states rights" did in 1860.
Those "on the fence" in regard to this vital issue might well take stock as to the personal advantage they will derive by taking the course.
With military training in the public schools a possibility in a year or two, no progressive high school teacher who is at the Summer Session can afford to neglect getting some knowledge of this new subject which seems likely to take its place with athletics, geometry, Latin, and algebra in the high school curriculum of every state in the Union. Whether opposed to militarism in the schools or not, when the time comes and this training is instituted, the pacifist high school teacher will find himself either forced to change his views or make room for some man who has kept up with the times.
To the University student, at the Summer Session, this summer military course will furnish, at least a slight understanding of what will be installed in many up to date educational institutions in the East this September.
So let's all get together and although those kakhi uniforms may be warm, the weather warmer, and criticism and discouraging, we will have the satisfaction of doing "our bit." And if the time ever comes, we will at least know the difference between a trench and a barbed wire entanglement.
A week has passed since the "Senior Bowl" last Tuesday night, but perhaps it is not too late to remark that although the floor was crowded, and the music something almost criminal all could have been excused but for that midnight closing hour. Was it the weariness of the alumni or is it possible that early close ideas are to persist even during the Summer Session?
THOSE COMMUNICATIONS
The Summer Session Kansan to day prints several communication from students giving their opinion on happenings during the first week o the summer term. As it happens, al come from students who were enrolled in the regular session. But you, Mr Student, Miss Student, and Mrs. Student who are here on Mount Oread for the first time, don't hesitate to let us
know your views about what is going on.
If that "prof" in the Scandiravian course holds you five minutes over time, send us your "kick." And if you feel that you are not getting acquainted fast enough, let the Kansan know what can be done about it. Maybe a mixer will be arranged if the "powers that be" think that students wish it.
But whether or not you have anything to complain about, form the habit of letting the Kansan hear from you.
The Summer Session enrollment at the University of Missouri the opening day was 776 students but the Daily Missourian spoiled the whole thing by running a feature story on the front page describing the different types of students. After reading it, the Kansan has decided that K. U. should be satisfied with its quality as well as quantity.
HOW DO YOU DO?
Say, friend, did you shake hands with any of those newcomers yesterday? Did you tip your hat, smile and offer to "tote" that tired schoolmam'am's bulging telescope as she wearily climbed Mount Oread for the first time?
Did your smile continue to adhere even through the numerous questions—which any one might have answered for himself had be used his eyes?
Negligible, do you say?
If so, how will these summer guests of ours take the first step over the threshold of K. U.'s heart citation? How will they sense fellowship?
A little matter, to be sure; yet herein lies the thread to the wealthy labyrinth of books, apparatus, leadership, vision, and the broadening and quickening stimulus of comradeship and social intercourse that may be opened by a mere bagatelle.

CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good conduct, or written without the writer's consent.
When a man wants something, he does not try to get it by opposing the man he is to get it from. Why does the University think that it can get more appropriations from a pacifist that is largely anti-militarism, by starting a course in militarism at this time?
DOESN'T LIKE MILITARISM
Editor, Summer, Session, Kanegan;
We do not question the good faith of Captain Jones in installing the course in military tactics, but is it for the interests of the University to do it?
The question of preparedness or pacificism is merely one of politics. Taking sides on the question to the extent that Captain Jones proposes to make a university in a diversity tends to make the University in a political, not an educational institution.
The way for the University to get more money is to convince the voters that every cent will be expended profitably in education, not wasted in advocating one side of a political question.
Editor Summer Session Kansas:
The Summer Session has commenced with several hundred students, some of whom were here last semester, some were here sometime in former years, and others are strangers on the Hill. We are only a few in number and we shall find ourselves scattered through many classes. But we are all of one school and should get together and get acquainted.
Too many of us are likely to devote too much time to our studies and not enough to the social life of the school. We live in a social world and should make the most of it, which we can do without infringing upon our study hours. Besides one can study far more efficiently if a reasonable amount of time is spent in enjoying himself socially.
R. C
We should have picnics, dances,
parties, and many more get-together
functions. Yes, and when you go out
to have a good time, have it. If you
go to a picnic or even in the class
yourself, yourself near some
stranger; be a truanter; or just
introduce yourself if there is no one
to introduce you. A smile, a kind word,
or a friendly look will wont for any
presumption on your part.

His list of academic formulas was complete, it contained a formula for osculatory grace, and he wanted the world to know it. Wouldn't you?
For the benefit of some, a list of the "unkissed" at K. U. might not be amiss, and a saucy blue-jay, with a craw bulgingij full of measuring worms, has whispered that the place to find the novice is among the Sanitary Engineers, for no other science military science and the department Wileyworks would degrade the kiss to the level of Lawrence city water.
"Constant target-practise."—Louisville Courier-Journal.
You would hate to be called unromantic, that's the only word that describes the Unkissed. If you were unromantic, you would lose favor in the eyes of all women, you would be unpopular, a bore; you would be Perfectly Harmless. The Senior was popular, his colleagues admit it, but he didn't have any popularity to lose, so he protested.
Listen, mere man! Should your name be listed with a number of the "Unkissed" would you—list? The student who did University did, as who not you?
