IT WILL MAKE US HEALTHY
The popularity of baseball in the University, shown by the story that no fewer than 600 men participate actively, calls attention to the big need for more adequate ground facilities.
At present Hamilton and McCook Fields are monopolized almost wholly by the Varsity and freshmen squads, of necessity. This leaves no grounds available for the host of less skilled and aspiring amateurs. Manager Hamilton is endeavoring to have two new fields prepared, and deserves all the help that the University can give him.
Compulsory physical education is provided at a big cost, yet practically nothing is spent for the benefit of those who don't like to take their exercise under cover of the Gym roof.
And this outdoor exercise, taken freely and without the "must" of the University, is of vastly greater benefit to the students than their Gym work. The University will do well to all in its power to encourage the students who want to play out-of-doors. Varsity teams can, of course, include only a few, and for that reason there has of late been country-wide question of their value. With all students given an opportunity to exercise freely, and encouraged to do so, much of this criticism will vanish.
CLUB IS SUCCESS
How many of you women of the faculty of the University have ever been down to the University club? Have you ever seen that haven of rest, that thing of joy of the masculine hearts of the faculty, and college men of Lawrence? If there is any doubt as to the success of the University Club, one look at the smug faces of the faculty men who back it will assure you that the University Club is a successful undertaking.
There are just as many women who are graduates of universities as there are men. There are enough women here to start a Women's University Club, and make it a success. In the faculty there are women who are living in rooms, alone, eating in clubs that are uncongenial, missing many of the pleasures and privileges that the men of the faculty have provided for themselves. It would be an easy thing to start the contemplated club rooms and dining room. With this as a beginner, there is no reason that the women of the faculty cannot make a successful beginning of a club that in time will be a permanent affair.
A P. P.* PROM POME
Said Jimmy Soph to Junior Jup,
"Well, old top, its sure some late,
Girls about all taken up,
And we haven't made that date."
Said Jenny Junior to Sally Soph,
"I sure wish we could get to go.
I to the Prom, you to the Hop.
But K. U. boys are awful slow."

Student Opinion
Editor Kansan:
A Kansan editorial of a week on two ago contained the very sensible suggestion that the election of the May Queen should be kept free on politics. Various senior girls here are asking for this position and anything. This position is one which is a great compliment to the girl chosen, but the compliment is lost if the girl procures it by the barter and exchange common in University politics. The Queen who was discussed at the next Senior Girls' Mixer, to be held soon.
To prove that Kansan cubs are very versatile or very narrow in their scope of activity, the Daily Kansan will tomorrow switch the editors of the *McNutt* magazine to McNutt will interview Lefty Sproull, Jay Bond, and W. O. Hamilton on the athletic situation to grind out some "Sport Hash," and Earl Crabbe will reciprocate by filling her box with sense and nonsense.
Chasing the Glooms
Archie Little, qualified by long experience as monotype man on the Woman's Home Companion, will get out the society column, and several other journals to inform as to the character of his articles. Maurine McKernan will attempt to surpass Charles Sweet's nonsense with some of her own lingo. Mary Russell will reign as associate-editor pro-tem, writing two of the artistic constructs 8-10 wheezes and supervising the make-up.
Last but not least Charles Sweet will attempt to show you another college view in his daily letter of experience.
"Scientists eat and talk," write our budding young headwriter. What won't be done in the name of science?
Why worry about the decline of fiction, with a dozen capitalists giving our readers advice?
Many a "devil in his own home house" is meek enough under the paddles.
Pandora's Box
NO MORE FISH
"Mr. President, I move that we have no more fish for dinner, nor any food whatsoever with a goodly supply of salt in it."
This was the first and most important motion at one of the weekly meetings of a fraternity. At first you may be inclined to think this a profound study, but the question you more profound study of the question you will change your mind.
"No one dares to drink this ill-smelling, yellowish, murky liquid, hence a large supply of McNish's Aerated Water has to be bought. Naturally, the thirstier a bunch of people are, the more water they will drink, so what is the use of increasing the expense beyond the regular daily water prices? The dehydrated labs?" The speaker sat down with the self-satisfied smile of one who has advanced a good argument. And the motion was passed.
"As every one who ever uses water in any shape," says Mr. Spieler "whether in a wash-basin, tub, or drinking glass, knows, the condition of H<sub>O</sub> at the present time as well as for the past few months has been terrible—a positive insult for such a rising young town as Lawrence.
"I move that we send our table-linen down to Kansas City where they have good water. Our house-mother said we couldn't have any girls over to dinner while they looked so ugly and yellow, and there seems no chance for any improvement in the water here."
"And I move," said the lady-killer of the crowd, "that we reduce our meat bill and lay in a supply of toilet-water instead. I am sick of having to wash my face in this awful water, and violet-water will improve it greatly.
After the more important motions of the meeting were passed, such trivial things as scholarship discussion, election of officers, and appointing of committees took place. The meeting adjourned to get a drink at McNish's water bottle—the most popular place of all.

WELL, WELL, IS THIS SPRING?

Out o' the Library
(Not from the Home Economics Department).
There'll never be a perfect breakfast eaten until some man grows arms long enough to stretch down to New Orleans for his coffee and over the hill. You're called up to Vermont and digs a slice of butter out of a spring-house, and then turns over a beehive close to a white clover patch out in Indiana for the rest. Then he'd come pretty close to stealing the gods eat on Mount Olympia...O Henry in "Hostages to Momus." It's in the library.
Under a blazing orb the size of a dime, the Altoona Tribune says: Above illustration is greatly reduced from the actual size of the sun as it was several years ago. An illustrations the actual size of the sun as it is would probably take up the greater part of one of the pages of this paper. The sun was quite common in past years. The young boys and girls might be interested in knowing that the sun, which was at one time visible to the older people inhabiting this earth, is a self luminous orb which, being in or near the center of our system of worlds, formerly gave us light now throws its rays upon the earth semi-yearly and sometimes not that often.

Dear Aunt Sophie:—
I am tired 'and sleep' this morning, and besides I cut a class to write a story and then found to my umorist the letter of a friend's first time in their history, are not working! Hence, I shall use the rest of this hour in scribbling to you about
If I hadn't been so foolish, and given a man a date last night, I would now be sweet tempered and doleful. I would have perfectly done that perfectly and not have been laughed out in class. I would have had my story written, and then probably, the chances are. I wouldn't have cut this letter. You wouldn't have gotten this letter.
First of all, it is the fault of those Student Union folks who must needs have us girls help pay off their debts. Yes, that they're the truth and we must fight them by the way. probably deny it. For the date-rule was off last night, and if we hadn't given them—the men—dates they would have lost every blessed day because of the centes. But that just is what the trouble with me now! And I am sore!
At any rate, my kick is against week-night dates. Yes, I know you are surprised to hear that, but remember the days when he was a freshman. Then, when was a freshman, without any sense, I couldn't see why, on a nice moon-light. night I had to stay in and study instead of walking around the campus. (Of course, you understand that the Man was only a sports awarding the fresh light air.)
So I go to the picture-show, and I yawn behind my forced smile, and I chatter about patry nothingness, and eat some ice-cream, and then-tell him I have had a wonderful evening? when I have had a wonderful evening? and out of sorts with the world, and could not even talk civilly over the 'phone this morning to him.
But now Aunt Sophie, I am getting more settled and staid. I have harder courses, and more committee meetings, and there are a hundred and ten teachers to you and Mother—and—G. W. you know, and, oh dear, I do hate to waste a perfectly good evening on a man! Yet I haven’t enough sense to say “no,” for then, sometimes when he got away I wouldn’t get an opportunity. See?
Well. I have wasted an hour on this lesson, so good bye until the next day.
Yours in weariness of head and body, Patsey.
Harvard's president, in his com paratively recent book on "Popl Opinion and Popular Government," said that the United States had an educational system that was "training men for all services but that of the public." What he had in mind was this: the presume, was the lack of deliberate provision by so many higher institutions of learning for educating persons who intend to make civics something more than theory and who will plan to be.
TRAINING MEN FOR PUBLIC SERVICE

SOME of the new checks in the spring clothes are particularly good; we're anxious for an opportunity to show you what we have here.

competent city, state or federal officials; all this assuming of course that the democracy will vote for such persons once they seek the suffrages of citizens. This latter, however, is still quite an assumption. Executives are far more likely to select and install such trained subordinate officers than would be necessary. Precisely to the degree that the executive or nominating official feels the weight of responsibility for the success of his policies does he choose as helpers persons whom he can trust to act intelligently when they face demands that call for specialized knowledge. With the triumph of the showman in office, the more than at present will use expert advisers in filling offices that now too often have politicians or "good fellows' or incompetents as incumbents
There has been something about the free, universal and mainly cultural type of education of the citizen of the republic that enables him to make his own decisions might not, because neither so versatile, so adaptable nor so practical. The ideal candidate for office undoubtedly is one who知道 to fine and to judge, to decide the effective purpose and the sympathetic imagination.-C. S. Monitor.

But while heartily approving at academic plans for training men for public service, such for instance as the police force and leading educators have initiated, it must not be assumed that inefficiency in government is inevitable where officials are summoned from private paths with no other assets than their experience as business or professional men. The adaptability and versatility of the ordained profession, theible skills arises for decision and action, are surprising. In the relief work now being carried on in Europe by American donors, those who see it at closest range are divided in their admiration between the scale of the benefice shown and the resourcefulness of the staff, and men that have volunteered to distribute the supplies.

ACADEMIC NOBLESSE ORLIGE
Volunteer students from the Harvard law school for several years past have served as legal advisers and as friends to persons in Cambridge whose incomes and other assets have been transferred to lawyers. Cooperating with other altruistic ag.cjcres of the city these youth have acted in obedience to the law of service that binds persons with power of any kind to use it for succor of the defenseless and needy. In a very real way what man may do without others the oblige has been shown in circles where the temptation always is strong to stress ratting rather than giving.
Similar action by other chapters of this ancient and renowed fraternity would be gratifying and far reaching in its offer to members of the university or college as such in the opinion of the public. During the long years of its existence this fraternity has served admirably in a passive, self-centered way to create a sort of academic aristocracy, admission to which is solely by way of proved excellence as a student; and comparison of life records of men in and out of the select circle shows that the scholastic tests imposed on undergraduate aspirants for Phi Beta Kappa election, if met. The need for the intellectual ability that finds full expression later as men who win the coveted key take up the practical duties of every-day living.
PECKHAM'S
Further proof that this ideal is taking root in the Harvard world is found in the decision of the senior and junior members of the Phi Beta Kappa Society to come to the aid of students that have taken examinations and maintenance of the scholastic standards of the university. That is to say, these admittedly most proficient students have decided that they will give as well as get; that they will aid the faculty in its laudable efforts to restore intellectual and cultural ideals in a graduate rating; and that the commercialised "tutorial" system of the university shall have a rival.

But that inclusion within this select circle implied direct, positive service to the academic community in ways other than through full expression of self-development and by personal and professional triumphs, has not been emphasized in the past. The new era of greater and more formal education in the United States is to bring many innovations and surprises such as have just been provided by Harvard's elect students—C. S. Monitor.
