THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Students Benefit Directly From War Drive Funds
It is an organization, educational and fund-raising, which operates primarily in this country to raise money for the relief of students and faculty members who are victims of war in all parts of the world. The WSSF sends money, food, books, and clothing to students who have been uprooted by war in Russia, China, France, Japan, Belgium, Greece, the Netherlands, and other countries. It provides opportunities for continued study for war prisoners in many countries. In short, it is devoted to the proposition that, in conditions in which many of the values of our life perish, learning shall not cease to exist.
The YMCA and YWCA have announced that they will put on the War Chest Drive again this year on the campus. It will be run in conjunction with a drive for funds for the World Student Service Fund. Half the amount received will go to the agencies of the War Chest, and the other to the WSSF. Most people know about the War Chest, but few students realize the existence, much less the purpose, of the World Student Service Fund.
The agencies of the War Chest are those, which endeavor to alleviate the suffering of humanity both here in this country, and in other parts of the world where such aid is needed.
There is no doubt that its recipients have a greater need for what we are able to give them, than we have. Also, we who are able to carry on our lives and educations with a minimum impression upon them by the war, should feel a greater responsibility toward those we can help. It is our prerogative, our duty, but further, our privilege to give.

Now we know—This concerns two innocent young AST's whose interests lie in the aesthetic things of life,
"I played the 'cello for seven years," Frank Liegner for proclaiming dolefully at the Cottage, "and what did it get me?" Up piped his little friend, Berkeley Slutzker. 'Bow legs," said he.

Barbara "Sit" Stone and Dorothy Hoover, Corbin freshmen, are learning dormitory life the hard way. First they thought they lived on Two East corridor because their windows faced east; then the telephone rang. Dubiously they sat, uncurtain of what course to pursue. "ANSWER it next time!" their friends told them forcefully.
They were back in their room, tensely awaiting developments when a great ringing shook "Three North." "Sit" dashed on the door and flung herself at the phone. We hate to tell you—it was the first call for dinner!
Blest be the tie — Members of "Doc" Wheeler's general psych class swoon daily when they see the latest of his out-of-this-world selection of cravats. But, alas, the sun was eclipsed when Arnold Greenhouse, Battenfeld, walked into class with a little number that rocked "Doc" back on his heels. How about it, Greenhouse, don't you WANT to pass that course?

They called her flamin' Mamie—Mary Jane Zollinger, Corbin's own Bob Hope, had inmates of the hall rolling on the floor at the last papama party. Example: "Little Jack Horner sat in a corner eating his Christmas pie; Little Jack Horner sat in a corner--hm-m-m! He must have been a bad boy!" As a special request she did Tess's Torch song! No one has been the same since but for whom it may concern, Miss Zollinger is under LONG TERM contract.
Hot potatoes—Finding that no one would be home until 5:30 to start dinner, the girls from Harmon co-op put potatoes on to bake shortly afternoon. Result: a well-cooked meal. Too bad there weren't enough hammers and chisels to go around!

White's Editorial Expresses Spirit Of Newspaper Week
While over the nation newspaper representatives are extolling the virtues of newspapers in National Newspaper Week The University Daily Kansan can observe the anniversary in no better way than to reprint William Allen White's editorial giving the aim of his newspaper, which can well be considered a model for all newspapers.
Said Mr. White Dec. 19, 1913:
"A preacher, who has worked in many towns and several states, is good enough to write to The Gazette saying that he regards this paper as the best local paper he ever read. He asks us how we do it."
"The fact is, we don't do it. Never has a single issue of The Gazette been printed which did not seem to the publisher—and to most of the interested men and women, whose hard work makes the paper—rather below the mark. Sometimes an article—generally one written by the boss, himself—falls far below the mark; for it is often hasty, sometimes too harsh, and at times, rather more brutal than is necessary. Sometimes this color gets into the local end of the paper — unconsciously. Sometimes an advertisement appears which should not appear. The Gazette has never printed a paper that satisfied the people who issued it.
"But, on the whole, take one item with another, one page with another, one day with another, and one year with another. The Gazette is trying, with considerable sincerity, but with human imperfection, to tell the truth; to tell the truth in good English; to tell the truth kindly and generously; to tell the truth according to the ethics of the newspaper profession, and never to be afraid or in the least reluctant to correct an error or freely to admit a wrong. The Gazette is glad to reverse itself upon a showing of new facts. The Gazette has no policy today that it will not adandon tomorrow if the facts change upon which yesterday's stand was taken. We have not the slightest desire to be either consistent or wise or to land on the winning side. Often we take up a losing fight and are as happy in defeat as in victory.
"What chiefly we are aiming at is to reflect in good, simple English the events of the day in the light of such truth as Providence has given us, and to comment on the events of the day as candidly and as honestly and as understandingly as the good Lord will let us.
"After that, there is a desire to be cheerful; to spread good cheer; to let into the moment a laugh, when it will come in without coarseness or impudence, and to be as gay as is decent in a dreary world."
