The Daily Kansan aims to picture a undergraduate of four or more years of education than the merely printing the news by attending for the ideas the thesaurus of the art critic or the critics to be clean; to be cheerful; so be charitable; to be courageous; to embody the items to wiser heads; in all to make friends with the students of the University.

ARE YOU INTERESTED?
A rumor has reached the Kansas office that the University of Kansas may lose one of its R. O. T. C. units. We believe that this would be a very important thing for the University. Not only from the fact that this report would go broad-cast throughout the country and that other institutions would know that the University of Kansas had failed to make good in this line, but it would also show that the Pacifist Spirit was once more creeping back into our midst. If this report is true, it is due to the fact that out of our 2,000 men there are not 200 who have interest in developing a strong protection policy. Is there any man in the University who cannot firmly say, not only with his lips but also in his heart the following?
"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people by the people, for the people; when just powers re derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union, one and inasparable; established upon those principles of freedom, justice, equality, and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes! therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution; to oceans its flag; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies."
We believe that every man and woman here believes the truths set forth in this paragraph. If you do believe the truths therein stated, are you willing to stand aside and see this privilege offered to us by the Government taken away? We are informed that in order to insure the three units now established at the University, it will require 100 more men. Are there not 100 men who will willingly subscribe to this cause in order that the units which are now established may be maintained. We believe in this movement toward keeping operation in a position of preparedness and believe in its support.
PLEA
The Daily Kansan is the medium through which the news and opinion of the University are expressed. It is one of the greatest means the University possesses for creating loyalty and support to the school and to student endeavor. There is not a student on the Hill who does not look and expect the Kansan each day. It is a recognized force by the entire school. But supporters of the school paper are forced to admit that the daily paper and its department has the poorest and most inadequate building accommodations of any department or institution on the Hill. The Kansan has taken the "leavings," although it has long since outgrown such. When old grades come back to the
When old grads come back to the
Hill, they cannot but notice that the Kanan is in the "same old building." When visitors are on the Hill, you visit the Kanan, its poor housing facilities are certain to detract from its force and influence as a part of the institution. Yet the Kanan is the medium of student opinion. If improvements of any kind are forthcoming about K. U. we feel that a Journalism Building should come near the head of the list.
SAFE IN THE RANKS
"Where O where are the verdant freshmen." They are here, stronger than ever before, but they have "passed on," as it were, after their first initiation into the University, which occurred last Friday at Convention. The young neophytes were fathered into the new fold by Chancellor Lindley. They received their first mouthful of the code of eiquette which will make them University men and women.
"Master your work from the start," was the Chancellor's advice. Preserve your health, save your money, exercise your mind, as a means of avoiding "dementia praecox," know people, and attend the University convocations. These make up the master keys for the freshman who would succeed.
With this advice from the University's head, the froth has passed through the first portal of higher learning.
"Where O where are the verden
Safe now in the K. U. fold!
Campus Opinions
Editor Daily Kansan:—
M plea is for the pedestrian. Now that the road along our Mountain Ordead is to be fixed to gladen the heart of every joy rider it is time to think what should be done in order to prevent any serious accidents. Strictly speaking, automobiles should not be allowed on the Hill at all. But that seems to be in the question. And yet it is done at the schools so why not ours? At the University of Calgary students with cars there is one piece set aside for the parking of the cars and no infringement allowed.
The polestrian has no chance when a string of cars come along of getting across the road until it has passed by. This same decennial feature also includes the polestrian themselves. It is to be considered of course that the first week every body stops to say "hello" and "what have you been doing all summer," but now that the first week is passed let us not hurry, but instead may block it for you some day and you wouldn't like that.

Editor, Daty Kawansi:
Of singular note at the Convocation hold insist Friday was the譬言 of the Engineer, force men, making themselves known with their yells and songs.
The College has a good yell, and there is no logical reason why it should not be known and voiced at convention, especially when the different students are required to no effort was made last year to get the students of the College together for the purpose of rehearsing their battle-ery. There is no 'exuse' why the biggest school of the University should go silent at student gatherings so that the conversations in getting to quelch and learning a few simple yells.

There is an elevator bim in a New York office building who is among a large number of public servants who present needless questions.
One day there entered his car a rather fussy old lady and garrulous as well.
"Don't you ever feel sick going up and down in this elevator all day?" he asked.
"Yes, ma'am!" said the boy.
"It is the motion going down?" No, it wasn't.
"The motion going up?" No, it wasn't.
Is it the stopping that does it? No, ma'am.

Educational Jolts
For years we Americans have adopted an attitude of complacent satisfaction toward our schools. We know that we believe in an educational opportunity for all; and we have incorporated this belief in compulsory educational laws. We know that we have many fine school buildings, many fine college buildings—perhaps the best districts, we have a traditional faith in the efficacy of "the little red school house."

We all know that many of our big men- in politics, in business, in the professions—are products of those humble institutions.

But a few years ago that complaint satisfaction gave a rude jolt. That jolt would have awakened us to the truth, had not so many other momentous things crowded fast upon our attention. With the coming of the World War and the draft, a big cross-section of a cross section that represented all classes, city and country, North, East, South, West—and given a literacy test such as no mammoth cross-section had ever been given. Unlike the censuses-takers, the Army boards did not ask a man: "can you read and write?" They subjected him to a questionnaire, could read a newspaper intelligently, to see if he could write an intelligent book. No ambitions tests. Literacy could hardly ask less. But practically one man out of every four (24.9 per cent.) failed. That cross-section was representative of our nation. Its showing means that one fourth of our population is illiterate. It was often hard to explain so many others, it is the glamor of tradition that has us astray, for it is the much-cherished "little red school house" that is the chief sinner. — Extract "The Crisis in Our Schools" by George MacDaniel in Our Work's
