Goodbye, MELTING POT.


Inc time is coming, dear old friend.
When we must say goodbye
And sadness fingers Ger our heart,
A tear drop in our eye.
We're going home 10 old Mizzou
Where mules and cOrn-cobs grow.
Out where things are wild and free
And summer breezes blow
So here's a toast before we go.
And IL should reach the spot
Come. drink with US. a friendly health.
Here's TO the Melting Pot.
The Toast.
May your laughs be loud and many
And your wit be always young.
May your Muse he ever with you
AS you roam the Land Of Song.
May your quips be full OF spirit,
Be ace-high in Funny lore.
May the 'contribs' shOwered on you
Paragraphs not seem a bore,
May your puns be bright and whole
some.
May your jottings have a punch
May you spot all comic clippings
May you lead the Humor Bunch"

News Notes of the
Universities
ELABORATE SCHEME OF
CAMPUS is CONSIDERED


Indiana university is looking far
into the future in attempting to pro-
vide a campus scheme that Will be
adequate for all time.
Several sets of plans have been sub
mitted and a revised set of blue prints
prepared by Lowe and Bollenbacher,
architects Of Chicago, will be consid-
cred at the next meeting of the board
Of trustees.
These plans are on an elaborate
scale and at most are only tentative.
They suggest the purchase of the
southwestern corner and Forest pl.
The architects would leave the library,
student building, Maxwell, science and
biology halls as they are. They would
have owen hall taken away and a
double building placed there with a
connecting arch through which the
crowds could go to the athletic field.
This building would be for the school
of law. The chemistry building would
be enlarged and also KirkwOod hall
by the completion Of buildings which
would look TO the east.
The sites occupied by the buildings
at the southwest corner OF the pres
ent campus would be used for fine
arts and music. Immediately east of
this building would be two others Of
large size which would be used for
the ldUE udBt utpdA llllNliNc. LuSN VI
biology and south of science would be
an immense structure for the school
of education. East of that would be
club building and east of that and
Immediately west Of Forest pl. would
be the site of the presidents house.
Make Jordan Field a Lake.
The chief feature OF the entire
grounds. according TO the plans Of
Lowe and Bollenbacher, would be the
administrative auditorium building
and outdoor theater which would be
erected north of the Kirkwood observ-
atory. This building would be so
large that il would require the tear
ing down OF the observatory. These
plans, like those of r. p. Daggett &
Co, also submitted to the trustees,
provide that the women's dormitOries
should be on +. Third St, Immediately
east of Forest pl., and that the mems
dOrmitOries should be north of the
proposed new gymnasium for men.
The plans provide that Jordan field
shall be made into a lake. The space
between the library. the student
building, Maxwell hall, and Seventh
ST. on the north would be used as
gardens. East OF Jordan field the
space would be used as a number Of
baseball fields. The wOmen's athletic
field would be farther TO the east and
south. near the women's dormitOries.
The plans show the great possibilities
of the future campus and emphasize
the fact that the board of trustees did
a wise thing in purchasing the ad-
ditiOnal tracts Of land which are now
a part OF the 11S acres

THE REAL VICTIMS.

Germany is considering what TO
do for the great army OF widows and
orphans left by the war. and the only
solution seems 70 be to get work for
them.
All the other belligerent countries
will have this same problem. and the
solution will be the same-hard labor
for women and children. You cannot
figure out OF il anything less than ra-
cial deterioration. Wars awful effects
last through many years OF peace. and
the nation that does not prepare it,
self 70 preserve its peace is foolish.

@COFFTN-NAILs., ;.

Los Angeles is conducting cigaret
clinic at police headquarters. The
method Of treatment has proved very
effective, in fact, a positive cure. A
Los Angeles paper says:
From early Saturday evening
until late at night, the corridors
of the building were Distracted
by a line of young men and boys
and there were many among
the waiting patients who had at
tanned middle age. At o'clock
the crowd had become so large
that the line extended some dis
lance out on the sidewalk and a
patrolman had TO be stationed
there to keep the passage open,
so eager were the cigaret smok-
ers TO rid themselves of the habit.
The most noticeable thing is the ev-
ident desire of young men and boys
to rid themselves of a bad habit.
Smoking cigarets harms the youth
more in that il is a stumbling block
in his climb up the ladder of success,
than in it's direct results. The busi-
ness world has no place for the ciga-
ret "fiend" Yet. a generation ago,
the boy Of IS who did not smoke Gig
arets was considered effeminate by his
companions. That now they stand
in line for hours TO obtain a treatment
that will rid them OF the habit shows
a moral improvement that promises
large things for the regeneracy of
Americas youths.

AFRAID TO LET GERMANY WIN.

The motives OF some of the neutral
nations that have been balancing
themselves on the war fence seem TO
have been misjudged. 1t was assum-
cd until lately that they were merely
waiting 70 see which way victory was
inclined SO they could jump 10 the
winning side and share the spells.
They are eager enough for spoils, I'M
doubtedly, but it is becoming plain
that they are not altogether sordid.

war not when here enemy was down
and out, but when Austria. after
months OF hard luck was coming

was marking time torn by internal
dissension. when the allies had been
seriously checked at the Dardanelles
And now, on the heels OF her entrance
and while the allies fortunes are still
uncertain. il is reported that Bulgaria
and Roumania are near TO making the
same decision.
IL appears that one of the strongest
motives actuating these nations is
the fear that Germany and Austria
will win. They are convinced that the
defeat OF the allies would be a mis-
fortune for themselves. They arc

Il is this fact which redeems the
