IT'S THE WOMEN'S TURN
They that will not be counselled cannot be helped—Franklin.
IT'S THE WOMEN'S TURN
We men have usurped the stage all year. Except for the time when Miss Morrow led the walling at the tragedy last November, the men have been the whole show. After football came basketball, track meets, baseball tennis, debates, all affording opportunities for standing in the spotlight And the women had to be content to applaud and look sweet.
Ample chance for cooperation, team work, judgment, skill, and enterprise is given by such an undertaking as the May Fate is to be.
But now, they are to have their day. Friday afternoon the May Fete will give them an opportunity to show that University women can do something besides wait for dates.
Men have no monopoly on student activities by any means.
COSTS MORE—WORTH IT

PROM BENEFIT DANCE
PROM BENEFIT DANCE Because of a lack of student support, the management of the Junior Prom is now held personally responsible for debts incurred in giving the dance. Tonight at the benefit舞 loyal students will be given a chance to have a good time and also to do a service for heir classmates.
. LOAN FUND A NECESSITY
Objections to the proposed loan fund have been made on the ground that it would be better for the individual student to work a year or two after leaving high school and save his money to come to college. And indeed many of them do that very thing—how many, it is impossible to find out exactly. But there is another side to the question.
A man or woman acquires increased earning capacity by going through college. Nowadays a degree of some kind is coming to be more and more a prerequisite to almost any kind of a career. Consequently it is much harder to make and save money before coming to college than after.
Nowhere is this more true than in the teaching profession, the standby of the ambitious boy or girl who has no capital to start with. The requirements have been raised by leaps and
sounds, as they should be in the interests of education, until scarcely anything but the poorly paid district school is left for the teacher who has not been to college at least two years. The college graduate is the only one who has a chance at the best positions, and he makes twice as much as he could otherwise. Hence he can return borrowed money much easier than he could have saved the same amount in the first place. The same holds true of many other kinds of work.
Even if all the other considerations did not exist, this one alone would be sufficient reason for the establishment of a loan fund for serious and ambitious students.
A MORAL FORCE AT K, U.
A MORAL FORCE AT K. U.
The Mott campaign which held its final meeting the other night has done far more work than anyone ever will suspect. What its members have contributed to the advancement of ideals among K. U. men will never be known either by the committeemen or the students. But it will be there and it is to the credit of the University that it has such a moral force as this group of students.
NOW IT IS GYM
Slowly oppression accumulates
Cherished hopes and ideals go kerplunk every once in a while by the cruel edict of the powers that be.
Not for an instant is one free from the terrors of what might come. The sword of Damocles swings above.
The trouble now is that over in the Gym, plans are being made to increase the work of the classes. It is not to be a snap any more according to those in charge. Whether this particular move is justified or not is material. It is decreed. That is sufficient. But it is the principle of the thing. This snap Gym work is a perfectly good tradition. It never hurt anyone, but that perhaps is just the trouble. Because it was such a good and inoffensive tradition, it is going to be kicked heartlessly out into a cruel, cruel world.
WAKING THE DRAMA
At a recent meeting of the Drama League of America in Detroit, the promotion of amateur dramatics was emphasized. This, the followers of drama hope, will promote an interest in the play which in turn will stimulate a higher art.
In North Dakota, a dramatic exchange is conducted for the benefit of the people of the state. Last year 2,000 persons took part in some dramatic event. This means that each of these persons, and a large circle of friends obtained a closer view of what a play ought to be. Their appreciation of art on the stage was enhanced and they were more ready to support worthy productions.
This activity indicates a development of the drama which may sometime equal that of the ancient Greeks in public interest if not in artistic excellence. Then citizens took part in plays as part of their duty and poets wrote dramas in competition for the highest honors of the nation.
The same thing is going on in Kansas. The extension division at the University sends out hundreds of plays each year to high school students.
At the University of Kansas the activities of the Dramatic Club and the department of public speaking point toward a renaissance of this neglected department of art.
Having a man named Wood at the head of the list of Sachem pledges in no way indicates the intelligence of that august body.
Chasing the Glooms
If that senior committee which is collecting memorial dues were to get commission, what would become of the memorial fund?
"Students Leave School Because of Finances"-headline. This is the only good excuse for anyone's not finishing his University course.
Anyway, if all the Sachems can scrap like Woody, they'll get there.
And that excuse will disappear when the loan fund starts working.
It is announced that the name of the May Queen is soon to be known.

WANTS SHRUBS PLANTED
Editor Daily Kansan;
Whenever we have a visitor on the campus his attention is always called to. He is often obtained from the top of Mount Ordead. His comment is that it is truly inspiring and beautiful. Then he asks why the campus looks so well.
Why can't the Board of Administration or some one else see to it that trees and shrubs are planted around the different buildings so the Unitary Authority is beautiful as the view from them, which we are all easy talking about?
Landscape
REAL EDUCATION IS Lots of high school students have the idea that, in choosing a college, they must select the school that has the most to offer in the way of a curriculum, the greatest number of teachers with the highest level of reading skills and professors. They need their college education will consist in the amount of book-learning they absorb.
But the book-learning offered by any college is not the biggest thing the prospective student must consider in selecting his future maater. He must consider this also; that he will study and recite not more than eight or nine hours a day, whereas he will study and recite no more than twenty-four hours of twenty-four.
And so it will, to a considerable extent. A wide assortment of courses is an asset to any school. The opportunity to everybody are so much the greater.
Most boys go to college just at the time that they are becoming men. They have the stature, but not the minds, of maturity. In the four years of high school, they smattering of knowledge—"small Latin in and less Greek"—and they must adjust their views of life through their contact with their fellow-students so that there will be no necessity for any adjustment when graduation times come.
This is the big thing in any school—the atmosphere, the feeling, the spirit, the "rubbing-shoulder-to-thouder" education. This is the part that students need for broadness, for democracy, for real intellectual independence. The book-learning is more or less merely an incident, supplying the fact-material from which the student must work out his own salvation in the material that remain. In the final analysis, the student must educate himself.
This is the big problem, and to its proper working-out all the elements must contribute equally. The student must be prepared to meet the he must find at his school competent and friendly instructors and self-reliant and friendly students. He must come prepared to learn as much as in it—University Missouri.
Little Glimpses of College Life
The University of Michigan will soon hold an indoor "dub" track meet, entry in which is open only to non-athletes. All prizes will be edible. The awards will be made will be sealed in enclosure and be opened after the races. Thus a cripple, finishing last, may win a whole head of cabbage, while a good prune will be dried prune. All entries are at least reasonably sure of a *light* lunch.
Dubs Will Run for Prizes
Practical Work on Freight Train Twenty-four Purdue nurses specializing in railway mechanical engineering will be given a taste of the actual work this spring when they will do overalls and make regular runs on a train light between Lafayette and Brownsville of the modern locomotive and railway appliances will be studied on these trips.
Protect Campus Grass
An effective means of preserving the grass plots on the University of Missouri campus has been put into effect by a strong arm squad of that university. Armed with paddles they lie in wait for the offender. No distinction of classes is made, senior and freshman alike gets padded.
Nothing Like That Here
Nothing Like Time Cornell University is well abreast of other American universities in the matter of supervising college club meals to students. Cornell university has already three dining halls and is about to begin building another large dining hall in connection with the new dormitories for men. Besides, the university will in the fall take over the management of the lunch room, which has for some time been run under private auspices.
Have Their Troubles Playing Ball
Cops in Iowa City are not in sympathy with an inter-fraternity baseball series unless the students can be allowed to play in city streets. Several students have been pulled in already; one of them was caught while hiding in the bath tub at the Phi Delta Theta house, while some of his fraternity brothers better hiding places and escaped.
Ames Gets Yale Coach, Also
At last the athletic authorities of
Ames College have decided on a football coach for next year. Charles W. Mayser, a Yale Man and at present the professor of physical training at Franklin and Marshall College, will confer with Ames on his team at Ames next fall. The salary will be about twice that of the present coach.
Schools Sever Athletic Relations
The student body of the University of California has voted to sever all athletic relations with Stanford for the present. The action was taken because the Stanford authorities insisted on running their freshmen in basketball, which is against the rules of the Northern California Conference.
How Can a Freshman Tip His Cap? The University Missouri devotes a whole column to directions for tipping a freshman cap, a new institution at that university. It also suggests that a thumb tack might be used to keep it on, if the head is of the usual freshman consistency.
Chicago Student Killed in War
Chicago Student Killed in War
Hans Heyder, former a student in the University of Michigan, was an American university man actually engaged in the European war, met his death on March 15 during the fierce fighting in the Carpathians. Heyder's book is the list of fallen in the Taglibic Rudisheism, is issued of April 7, Berlin.
The Weary Willies of the University of Oklahoma, feeling the need of a closer companionship among themselves for the greater promotion of the art of travelling about the country without money and without railroad tickets have gathered themselves to attend in the "Quo Vadis," which is the National Hobo fraternity. Fifteen have been taken in.
