the affair was the plan for two
distinct bands, junior and senior,
beginning this spring and the fact
that Band Director W. T. "Billy"
Quick is to have a drill assistant
if one can be found by the mili
tary department.
"A properly dressed band is a
better marching band and a
classier outfit," Colonel Oury stat
ed in making his startling state
ment to the band, "and since criti
cism of our band began after the
appearance of the Kansas Univer
sity organization in Lincoln last
fall, it is our purpose to give our
musicians equal advantages in the
way of up-to-the-minute apparel."
University Colors.

of being selected according to
band officials.
The new outfits will be pur
chased by the military department,
the original payment being par
tially supplied by the athletic de

nance Secretary J. K. Selleck
agreed. The athletic department
will eventually be reimbursed by
the regular band uniform fund
which is granted yearly as a com
mutation from the war depart

cost in the neighborhood of $30
and plans have been made to at
tire a marching unit of approxi
mately 90 members.

What Do
YOU
Think?
Do you believe that the road
to security and peace lies m
present preparedness and mili
tary training ?
PHIL SOUTHWICK: "If we are
prepared, no one is going to be
picking on us, and if we have a
large regular army we won't have
to send untrained men to war and
consequently will not have such
large casualties.
WILLARD STRANGM AN: No.
for if vou train a group of men
and build up an army or navy,
in no time at all they want to
demonstrate their skill. Training
breeds war every time.
M. H. HALDERSON: No. I
don't. It never has led to peace
and I think we should try some
thing new.
LEWIS CASS: Armed prepar
edness is by no means a total cure
for the warring proposition It
mav be true that the man with
the laigest club is the man last j
to be attacked, but the club docs I
not wholly preclude an affront, j
! WILBER HANSON: No. We
have been prepared for hundreds,
of years and there have always .
been wars. I think that it is about
