The outcome of the campaign to be started tonight by the Y. M. C. A. to raise the membership of that organization to 500 members will probably decide whether or not the association will have a building of its own on the campus in the near future. That such a building would be of great usefulness to the student body has been recognized for years, but it is only lately that any systematic effort to get it has taken form. To get the money necessary to put up a building of the size needed will take a lot of work on the part of everybody who is willing to help, but the object striven for is worth all the effort it will take. The University has long been in need of a club house where all kinds of students can meet on common ground, and the association building will serve such a purpose admirably If the present campaign succeeds, the University club be a reality. If it fails the club be comes again a dream of the remote future. The Baker Orange deprecates the Kansan's recent write-up of the night shirt parade down there in the course of which a professor's apparel was torn off until he more nearly resembled Salome than a doctor of divinity. This was to be expected. The surprising thing is the language in which the protest is couched. The Orange says the editor "could give the author of Diamond Dick Jr. cards and spades and then beat him at his own game." Diamond Dick! Cards and Spades! Where in the name of all that's holy did our Methodist brother get his vocabulary? The Oklahoma football team certainly deserves commendation for their clean playing and courteous behavior during the game. The little Indian who played in the back field was penalized once. He politely asked the umpire what the penalty was for and when told it was for holding, he as politely and in all sincerity replied: "I beg your pardon." Something worth while could be done on. McCook field by making an exit for the crowd on the north side of the field. And then a ferry boat service should be established across some of the mudholes near the gate for the benefit of the ladies. If these improvements were made it would be possible to get home in time for the evening meal. A professor in the University writes the Kansan asking that the paper be stopped because he could not afford to pay for it. That's allright but if the professor is not making expenses he should cut off some of the luxuries of life and not begin by stopping the necessities of life. The school of Journalism at the university of Missouri has the newspaper instinct allright. A three column headline on the front page of the University Missourian reads "Child of Mystery sues Blackfoot King's Heirs". Prof. W.H. Johnson has been spending the latter part of the week inspecting the Douglas county high schools. Earlier in the week he attended the meetings of the college presidents of the state and the State Board of Education at Topeka.
