The Daily Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the people who will be taught than merely printing the news by attending for the ideas the University of Kansas offers to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be patient; to wiser. Leads, in all, to serve to the beat of its ability the students of the university.

HELLO YOURSELF!
Have you ever stopped to think how often it is repeated, that little word "hello"
Consider the University campus, for instance. There are 3,000 students, each one of which has at least three classes a day. That means each student crosses the campus four times. Supposing each one meets ten acquaintances each time with whom he exchanges salutations (the average would be far beyond that) the word would be repeated 120,000 times in one day. Multiplied by the 160 school days in the year, the number would reach the enormous sum of 19,200,000.
If the disillibable is workened on the campus, suppose we consider the situation in the central office of the Kansas Mutual Telephone Company. And while we are supposing, suppose we think of all the campuses and all the central offices and every other little highway and hyway in our United States where friends greet friends with a cheerful "Hello." Don't you suppose the grand total of repetitions would be a stupendous sum almost beyond supposing?
More curious than mere numbers are the various infections with which our modern corruption of the old distance-call of "hallow" is delivered. There is the matter-of-fact conversational greeting which might be dropped into the middle of a remark about the weather without sounding out of place. There is the bored murmur of duty and the joyful salutation which seems to be the spontaneous outburst of a spirit afame with good-fellowship. We hear the first syllables accented, with a perf little twist, or the last syllable drawn out in a broad, fat sound. Quite often we notice the vain little "hello," usually feminine, which is bent on making itself as charming as possible. It hits the first syllable delectably, catches the o sound on the high tide of a rising induction and carries it down the scale with delicous rhythm and cadence. In dire
... is the guttereal "hullo" which sometimes speaks of a dark mood and sometimes of a naturally heavy voice, in proper self-control at short notice.
But, bread or high, sweet or gruff on the whole, don't you like it?" "Good morning" is pleasant and for nice politeness there is nothing better than "How do you do?" but for an expression of genuine friendliness give us a hearty 'Hello!' Typically American, splendidly democratic, breezy western, it breathes a spirit of fraternity and equally unexpressed by more formal terms. It is slang, but who has ever found an adequate substitute for the best of American slang?
SHALL WE EAT MORE CABBAGE?
The problem of the high cost of eating need no longer present the aspect of a Chinese puzzle to the underfed student. The solution is simple and will doubtless prove very effective if we will but apply it.
From the federal bureau of markets comes the cheerful news that the price of cabbage has dropped $5 on the ton. With this marked reduction, why should not the consumer apply economic principles to his consumption and concentrate on the lower priced commodity? the desirable effect would be two-fold. First, the actual cost of eating would be reduced, and second, with increased consumption of cabbage the demand for other food-stuffs, such as beef, flour, and sugar would be lessened and a consequentowering of prices effected.
But, come objections, could cabbage be used to a sufficient extent to produce any practical results? Undoubtedly. With a little ingenuity, it can be made to meet the requirements of the main dish for every meal of the day. A suggested menu might consist of creamed cabbage, flavored and seasoned to taste, for luncheon, and corned beef and cabbage for dinner. For breakfast, the fresh green leaves would serve admirably in the place of grapefruit and the leaves shredded and dried would make an excellent cereal.
Numerous appetizing side dishes can also be prepared from this serviceable vegetable. Who can eat cold-slaw garnished with pineapple without retaining in memory one moment of supreme satisfaction of the gustatory senses? Then there are the more common varieties, plain and creamed. Even sauer kraut, if given a non-Hun appellation might attain unpreceded popularity.
Indeed, the situation offers remarkable opportunities for culinary artists and domestic science laboratories. There are untold possibilities for the origination of new and delectable dishes from cabbage. The numerous uses to which sugar beets were put by the Germans during the war is an example we might follow with regard to cabbage in our war on high prices. Experiments have never been made with sweet sauces from cabbage or cabbage jams but they might prove very satisfactory.
However that may be, we have the time-tried methods of preparation. If corned beef becomes mononous, the cabbage might be flavored with salt pork for a change. But the mode of serving is immaterial and a matter of individual preference. Regardless of how it is served we would urge upon every restaurant proprietor and boardshould feel it no less of a patriotic duty of seeing that it is served, in at least one form at every meal. And students house-keeper the patriotic duty to partake of cabbage at least that often. It should be that an individual exists who does not like cabbage—why, tastes can be cultivated.
If the plan does not appeal to the student in any other way, no doubt he will be impressed by the reduction in price of meal-tickets involved. At the above-stated reduction the price of cabbage is lowered one-fourth a cent. With the considerable amount required to serve it three times a day, an appreciable lowing of outlay should be effected.
It will be interesting to see how many of the students of the University go to church next Sunday. Maybe you don't know that next Sunday is the celebration of the World-Wide Student Federation, and every student in the country who is not sick in bed is expected to go to church. Con Hoffman is urging the organizations on the hill to go on-mass, and many of them promised two weeks ago that they would. The University of Kansas should contribute her number to the vast numbers that will go from all the universities all over the country.
A high school exchange accuses a professor of getting off the train wit' some strange poultry.
Tickets to the Junior Prom at the University of Iowa will cost $3.50. No flowers.
The Winfield high school Oracle announces that the high school stage is to have some new scenery. It is also to have a new stage for the jail and palatial mansion.

"PENNED UP IN PENNSYLVANIA"
In western Kansas less than half a century ago there was growing up a small semi-amphibious being that lived near him. William Stadladda Franklin. He could swim up to a sandhill crane who had never met him and catch it with his hands. And once he leaped astride a catfish and steered it in to the river where he caught William who was subsequently found to weigh thirty-six pounds.
He emerged from the water to enjoy the wild flowers and wonder at the weeds. And when he was ten years old he stayed out long enough to begin the study of physics and chemistry with his brother Edward He afterwards delegated the chemistry to his brother and has spent his life studying and teaching physics.
He came to the University in 1884 knowing almost as much of his chis en science as his masters were prepared to touch him, and was a stu dent instructor in the department of science throughout his college career.
He belonged to the Science Club of which Professor Nichols, Professor Snow, Mr. Kellogg and others were members. They made periodic raids, scientifically, not predatory—upon Blue Mountain, Lake View and many other nearby places. Each year the Club stub sponsor for a festivity called "The It." Alumni who never saw it were forced to defraun "the Old Miller" the song with which he used to embellish the occasion. His act, "The Dancing Bear," was also a feature of these gatherings.
He was one of that historical party of faculty folk who discovered Estes Park, Colorado, and camped there for a summer, bringing back such wonderful tales of its beauties its fish and its climate that no subsequent summer has passed without further development. He was during this trip that Franklin met Miss Titus, who afterwards became his wife.
From his graduation in 1887 until 1890 he was assistant professor in the University. After one year abroad and one in Harvard he became professor of physics in Iowa State College. In 1897 he was appointed the same position in Lehigh University, where he still is.
William Franklin has done more than one man's share towards filling the bookshelves of the world. Seventy-five technical and scientific articles have been published 'and twenty-two books have been publish-
He himself sums up life in once sentence, "raised in Kansas, turned loose in Iowa, and penned up in Pennsylvania."
"Dear Teacher," wrote little Johnny's mother, "kindly excuse Johnny's absence from school yesterday afternoon, as he fell in the mud. By doing the same you will greatly oblige his mother."

Campus Opinion
With the assumed permission of the readers of your paper, I wish to make a kick against an article appearing in a magazine. I want to state that a Nooker Wood, I beg to state that his tonic should not yet depart. I have made use of the sparkling liquid for the past ten years, and I have as much hair as I had in those earlier times.
A lawyer had lost a case and showed much temper. His doctor friend said to him in joke: "Your profession doesn't make angels of men."
Editor Daily Kansan:---
"No," testily replied the lawyer, "I should have been a doctor."
Varsity "A" will meet Thursday night at 7 o'clock.
Why, if Congress should vote out hair tonic, our barbers would have to find some other substitute to appeal to the public. A hair tonic probably be even more harmful. If it hadn't been for a ready supply of hair tonic, I would have had to leave the chair in the ladies' barber shop in K. C. fifteen minutes sooner that I
Of course, if we of the human race were suckers to the alcohol habit, hair tonic should go. But we are not. Any man who attempts to drink hair tonic is not a member of our race. I tried it one oay. It was just before dinner and the club intended dance after meal. I didn't dance that evening. I didn't even eat. And I didn't talk. I had no friends. I tries to find a kick in hair tonic ought to kick the Bucket. I nearly did anyway.
Speaking of kicks, a man tried to hold me up the other night. As usual I was broke, but I wanted to know if his revolver was loaded, so I aimed my foot at where I imagined his stomach ought to have been. Something happened immediately. The revolver was loaded allright, but it must have kicked, as the bullet missed me. The next moment I began to run, so I survived. Surviving this incident, I therefore defend the use of hair tonic. I had that very day received my tri weekly haircut, shave, and tote.
