Flipped an second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kannas, under the act of March 3, 1879. Published in the afternoon five times a week by students in the Department of Journalism, University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism. Lawrence, Kansas Phones, K. U. 25 and 66. Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas The Daily Kansasan aims to picture the undergraduate in the field of education to get to know them more than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the students enlist; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be charitable; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all to understand their students at the University. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 10, 1920 Plum puddings, mince meat, and cherries flavored with alcoholic liquors are subject to seizure according to word from Internal Revenue of Titials. "HELLO" "Hello" is one of the most informal words in the English language and it means so much. It means more than a mere recognition. It means competence and friendliness. The word "hello" makes acquaintances more easily than the more formal "how do you do." KEEP THEM OPEN "Hello" Day is not an experiment. It has been used extensively in other schools and some claim that their greatness is due to the students being *e* well acquainted. "Hello Day" is just the beginning of recognizing your friends as you met them on the campus. Keep up the spirit. The more greeting of "hello" makes you know your fellow students better in a month than in a year of formal greeting. Expresident Taft said that he would not consider his son's education complete unless he could call one hundred men by their first names at the end of his freshman year. A vital question in the mind of every student is, "How shall I get all those term reports finished?" Practically every course in the university requires more or less library research yet only two departmental libraries will be open open at night. It is argued that the afternoon is the time favored for study but there is not a student who is not called upon to devote a large part of every afternoon to one or more activities, so that night is the time set aside for study. It is for this reason imperative that libraries be open at night to give the student opportunity to accomplish it which he is required to do. GRADES GET YOU THERE Scholarship is considered seriously by the students here. There is not much said about it, but to get anywhere or take part in activities, students must be doing satisfactory work. The requirements of all organizations are passing grades. The Men's Pan Hellenic requires that all fraternity pledges pass in 12 hours work before they can be initiated. The Women's Pan Hellenic requires at least ten hours of A, B, and C work for initiation. The members of the honorary or organizations are usually recommended by the professors. These students are generally making A and B grades. The eligibility committees demand passing and satisfactory work from all students who take part in athletics or who are clan officers. Many other organizations are included under the eligibility rules. Students want to belong to organizations of some kind and to be eligible, passing grades are required. SOME HARVEST When working in the harvest field this year and concentrating on one harvest only, did you ever stop to wonder what would happen if all the cereal harvest in the United States were put in one place? According to the Kansas City Star one year's harvest of our cereals would fill a canyon one hundred feet wide, five miles long and two-thirds of a mile deep. The Scientific American estimates that this harvest of a single season in the United States, if stacked on one nere of land, would form a column 214 times as high as the Woolworth building, New York City. Or it would bury the whole of Central Park to a depth of one hundred and ninety feet. If this crop of cereals were to fish upon Manhattan Island like rain at the rate of a million bushels a day, starting tomorrow, it would not cease falling until the year 1030. A GOOD MOVE Adding another man to the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet to promote the K. U. Discussion groups is a good move. The development of these groups is two important to be subordinated to any other work of the Y. M. If the organization of these groups is properly handled there is no reason why they should not become a means of binding together groups of men at present unorganized and somewhat scattered, so that their representation in the advisory assembly would be not only practical but effective. It is true that the assembly is not functioning properly at the present time, but if it is to continue to exist it needs representatives from these new unorganized students, and the Discussion Groups are a step in that direction. A CURE FOR HAZY THINKING One criticism which can justly be offered of many university students is that their thinking on the real problems of campus and national life is muddled, and vague. When many students are asked what they think about some question that is confronting the university, they make some superficial reply, and as soon as possible shift the conversation to some thing about the show at the Varsity, or the dance next week end, or perhaps some class room Questions about national or world problems are quite likely to receive even less attention. Jems is one of the purposes of U. Discussion Groups being started in many of the organizations on the Hill. To clear up the hazy and indistinct thought on many of these problems in one of the pursues of the K. The leaders of the various groups meet together to work out several concrete questions, the answering of which will require considerable discussion and bring out the crux of the particular problem, whatever it may be. The men meet once in two weeks under the guidance of a leader who acts as chairman to hold the discussion to the question and talk over and compare views on various problems. "Loyalty to K. U." was the general subject of the last round of discussions. If many of these groups are talking over similar questions during the same week it will mean that a unity In the group meetings, the hazy and indistinct opinions will be sifted out or strengthened through the interchange of conflicting views, with the result that a better understanding of the problems at hand and their proper solution will be secured by every member of the group. Reports of the down town newspapers indicate that an unusually large number of K. U. men are reporting to the city Y. M. C. A. for employment over the Christmas vacation. of spirit and thought throughout the entire university will soon be apparent.

If that is the kind of man who wasn't Dempsey or Willard elected. "Abbreviated skirts are best," says Doctor Martin Bacon. Now we do not wish to disagree with Dr. Bacon. We do not wear short sirtis, all that we need is a short skirt, pointless when short skirts are—well, to be brief—we like them. The hadest luck that can belfall a man in these days of droust is to have a jug of hard cider turn to vinegar. STICKER 1 You are capable of carrying on some outside activity. All of our time is not devoted to the stricty scholastic side of cottage life. The majority of us have one or more outstations in our home, more "in" the subject of this editorial. too many of us try wholeheartedly to make a success of several things at once and as a result fall to do anything well. Diversity of ambitions is the cause of our downfall here as it is apt to be in later life, if we do not pick out one objective and keep everlasting at it. STICK TO ONE ACTIVITY Having achieved success in some one thing, the hard worker will help that his services are in demand for other activities during the final year. He will also step in not as a tryout, but rather as a leader—Michigan Daily. Underclassmen who wish to do something for their University and for themselves should pick out some one thing—publications, athletic management, Union committee work, it matters not which, and stick to that one thing through all of their college years. The suggestions of the men students in the "Help Build the Union" column has brought up another perplexing issue. Why don't we buy to buy ash trays and nicotine tubs. You should always watch the debit side of your ledger. There is always a payday ahead. We believe that the country is on the verge of a financial panic. The other day, we cash in a check for ten dollars and we got a notification short time later the doors were closed. It is the best policy to never be too sure about anything.
