The Phyllis Kanas snippet to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for them, she plans to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious pressure on her students; to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

ARE YOU GUILTY?
How students of today amuse themselves was shown in Monday's special edition Of The Daily Kansan. Dancing and attending movie shows seem to be the main channels which students follow to find divergence from the daily grind of studies.
A game which has been a favorite with American school children, also seemingly so for students of the university, and which was not mentioned in the Kansan, is the old game of "Fox and Geese." Impossible, you say. But we cite you to the numerous paths across the University campus, anywhere, everywhere. Some of them lead to no place in particular, and many of them are not even justified as time savers. Thoughtless students have carried the practice to such an extent that the campus is beginning to resemble a huge "Fox and Geese" playground.
The campus of the University should be a thing of beauty, the pride of every true Jayhawkner, and he should attempt to keep it beautiful. Promiscuous cutting across it, thus making innumerable paths, will not add anything pleasing to its appearance and certainly ten minutes between classes is ample time for the students to go from one building to another and get there on time.
A assuredly University students should be more advanced than to induce in such a childish game as "Fox and Geese."
AS A LAST RESORT
Whatever lessons the World War may have taught it did not bring to the people of the United States any realization of a necessity for compulsory military training. With a forceful vote of 48 to 9 the Senate has rejected the claim of those who favor the compulsory system.
Regardless of whether or not compulsory military training is the best policy for the United States, it is certain that it can not be forced upon the country at this time. Those who favor the system are alarmed over what they term the pacifist attitude of the people in rejecting the army bill. But it is easy to understand why just why it was rejected.
In the first place, this so called pacifist attitude is only a natural reaction after the war. The people have been steered in war to the bottom of its horrors and inconvenience, and now that it is over they are anxious to forget it. A compulsory military system, they feel, is a daily preparation for another and even more stupendous war. Just as the soldier from the front line wished to forget his vivid experiences during rest camp, so the people as a
whole are trying to forget their two years of war. The authorities who go around urging preparation for the next war do not seem to belong in the general scheme of things.
Then again, the people are still under the influence of the talk of a brotherhood of man. The United States went to war with a big vision urging them on and that vision is not yet discarded. During the period of the war everybody was positive in assentting that this was the last war, a war to end war, and that from peace day henceforth reason would guide the nations. Out of that feeling grew the League of Nations idea; and since it is still a possibility these people prefer trying it to the system of compulsory military training.
THE NEW CARNEGIE PLAN
Twenty-nine colleges have adopted the Carnegie Foundation's new plan which provides retiring allowances for college professors. The plan involves the payment of premiums jointly by the institutions and the individual members of the faculty, while the foundation defrays the expenses of administering the project.
Some hostility to the plan has developed based on the fact that it involves a complete reversal of the Foundation's original purpose. In the beginning the theory was that retiring professors should be granted an allowance without their payment of any premiums. This theory had been in practice for thirteen years, during which seven million dollars was distributed in retiring pens and allowances, when it was discovered that the Funds of the foundation were not sufficient to carry out the work. Then came the new system under which the Carnegie Foundation pays only the administrative expenses.
When such institutions as Yale, Columbia, University of Michigan, University of Pennsylvania and other colleges of first rank have accepted the new plan, it seems probable that the plan should prove beneficial at our own institution.
"LIFE IS A WAFFLE-IRON"
Mr. Arthur Stringer has written a story for McClure's Magazine called "The Waffle-Iron." He assumes that "Life is a waffle-iron shutting down on us and squeezing into nice little squares like everybody else in the world."
And life is also a pancake turner, leaving us nice and flat; a tatter crispie us nice and brown, often with burnt edges; an oggaterbe whipping us into a froth; a lemon-squeezer separating our juice from the rind, and so forth and on. Life is any old thing, kitchen utensil or parlor ornament, that will make a popular story. For the story is nothing these days if it does not seek for its material in the most original and entertaining way. In the tremendous rush and crush of existence it must arrest attention and give a grin that will罢
crush of existence it must arrest attention and get a grip that will electrify and amuse the most ordinary reader.
There was a time when rhythm and beauty made a lasting impression. Now we insist upon Action with a big A. The production has to go like a thrashing machine or an airplane, and "handsome is as handsome does." Terms change with time, and a rose by any other name may smell as sweet. Maupassant, the prince of short-story writers, wrote a masterpiece about "A Piece of String," and it was he who said that the way to succeed is to look at a thing long enough and hard enough to see something in it that no one else has ever seen or is likely to see. And it is just as well to begin in the kitchen. Everybody likes waffles and pancakes and toasts and lemon-juice daintais.
Mental Lapses
On a street car the other night the Campus Cop heard a young woman reply to the man standing in front of her, who said she had with bachelor's and masters' degrees. In a few minutes the gentleman mentioned something about geology field trips, and his companion with two students from college they final" — Ohio State Lantern.
If Governor Allen takes over the mimes again there may be a chance for University students to get some more flunks.
Eight dollars a day would be good wages for the laborers who are demanding it, providing they could have fewer strikes and stony employ-
It's unfortunate that eleven students have been forced to leave school because of poor grades but they are new some new union and earn big money.
Half of the cost of the new Brogue Oxfords is for leather, labor, and profit. The other half is for the scenery.
The next war will probably be between the different Leagues of Nations. The one League already is in existence while a Latin-American League is now in the process of formation.
The Russian soviets have nationalized the egg. It has been the national missile in the United States for some time.
The Senate always is ready to go "into" everything from the high cost of soap to the latest strike but one ever hears about it coming out."
The first strawberries have arrived and are selling for thirty-five cents a box. With plenty of rich cream, lots of sugar, and, above all a vivid imagination, they approach the June standard.
The most optimistic thing in Kansas for the past several years has been the peach tree.
Next to studying mathematics, the most popular passime at present is baseball.
Campus Opinion
For the Co-Operative House Editor. Daily Kansan:
Friday and Saturday of this week the students of this university will be given a chance to aid the University Co-operative House make an initial payment on a permanent home. The Co-operative house for Women women in an established thing at K, U. now but it is high and expensive that the economical and prudent thing to do is to buy a house. However, the University has no budget allowed it by the state from which to draw.
The Women's Athletic Association is giving a bazaar in the Dodge motor car show rooms on Massachusetts Street this Friday afternoon. Attendees will be asked how they have asked every one and anyone on the Hill or in town to contribute anything salable they have—food, fancy work, furniture, etc. The proceeds from this public bazaar will go to the co-operative bazaar fund.
Have you taken anything to the home of Miss Sarah Laird, 1122 Ohio Street, as your contribution to this worthy student affair? If you have not, have you sincerely contributed to the bazaar rooms early Friday? Should not a good cause like this one be supported in the manner we support plays and dances and hops and picture shows? Please take time to contribute something to W. A. A. basque for University Co-operative House for women.

Javhawks Flown
K. U. students went in strong for politics in 1902, even going so far as to form two Republican clubs, to the great amusement of the Democrats among the student group on the campus at Law School because their密切 intention to do the work doubly well was the cause of the suit in the fold.
A caucus of Republican students representing the entire University decided on Sept. 26 to meet on the next Thursday night at the court-house and perfect an organization. The time set was '8 o'clock but under the pressure that provided was to the meeting would not be called to order till 8 o'clock.
Mrs. Beebe was a Theta Sigma Phi and attended the University with the class of 1919.
THE FOLLIES OF 1902
The Law School G. O. P. men arrived at the court house a little before 7:30 o'clock, by prearrangement and then by a police officer of hearing laws to all the offices in the club. Soon after the ironclad law organization had been perfected, the member of the jury was discharged and at once saw how they had been tricked.
Mr. Wattles, who is attending the Harvard Law School, was in New York for the holidays.
Ye Good Old Days
J. S. Bliss, c'16, is manager of the Michigan sales office of the Detroit Steels Product Company at Detroit. The company located at 1435 Pomaskos Building.
A motion to dissolve the new organization was made by a college man—a member of the Arts school, as it was then called—but the law's chairman speedily tabled it. The Art men, pharmacies and engineers then withdrew and formed a separate body.
All during the campaign the two clubs met, sometimes together, sometimes separately. When joint sessions were held, the first chairman to arrive on the screen frequently took place. The University enjoyed the scrap hugely, but none more than the members of the Democratic club.
