The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University supports. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be caring; to serve serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
LET'S REVIVE "ROCK CHALK!"
FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1918.
Is our University trade mark, the "Rock-Chalk-Jayhawk!" sinking into oblivion?
How long has it been since we heard a real, honest-to-Moses, yell—the kind which all but took off the roof, and left you with a strained feeling in your throat afterwards, but which thrilled you through and through, and which perhaps made your eyes sting a bit, as you reflected that after all K. U. was a grand old school, and you thanked your lucky stars that you were inspired to come here?
It has been a long time since we have given the Rock Chalk like that. Perhaps we have not all been gathered together over in the Gym, where we would have opportunity or occasion for a little outburst of school spirit for quite a while.
Meanwhile the apathetic state of affairs as regards school spirit has become marked enough to cause widespread comment and lamentation, especially from alumni.
It has been said that a lot of the "pep" of the school is gone; a good share of it did pass through Lawrence on its way to France last Monday.
We need to wake up, to steal, beg,
or borrow about a million dollars
worth of fighting spirit, enough
to hold until the last man, *and woman*
is forever gone from Mount Oread,
and there are no fights left except
the petty squables of the rats scampering
through deserted halls.
There are to be two All-University convocations next week. Let them furnish the opportunity for a demonstration of school spirit.
And before the convoction breaks up lets sing "Crimson and the Blue" and give an old time rousing "Rock Chalk," just by way of showing that we are still extant.
THE SCHOOL OF WAR
University men who are forced to give up their school work for a time, and perhaps for all time, in order to serve America on the battle fields of the Great War should feel encouraged by the fact that the training they will receive while in service will teach them more of the great principles of life and living than they would learn in many years of study.
The fundamental purpose of education is to develop a man four square. The man who leaves K. U. for the army will be denied the completion of education as far as liberal culture is concerned. But he will continue in a more intense way, a series of practical courses which will do him more good by far. He will actually see the economic demonstration of the world's resources mobil-
lized for conflict. He will see the physics of the terrible machines of modern warfare. He will not look back into the past through textbooks for historical breadth; he will help in the making of the world's most stirring history. As far as political science is concerned, he will have a hand in the business of shaping the destinies of governments as well as nations. He will learn the law of the rank—equality. He will see, in competition, the nations' best engineering. In short he will get in practice, the courses that tend to make a man big.
And he will have the opportunity of learning the thing not in books—an opportunity that comes but once to every generation. And that is the going through the terrors, which will come, for an ideal—the ideal of service to humanity, even though it means service to the death.

Dear Roomy:
I am trying hard to be honest and it is hard. I am always hungry. I haven't had enough to eat in months. But I am a hypoitec. I eat on the quiet all I can put away. I have to or I would die. You see, I weigh 210 pounds and have a girth of 45 inches. I can't stand it. I all hollow inside and can hardly make my legs wiggle, let alone climb the Hill.
Lately I have taken to sneaking off by myself and going to one café after another down in the city. I eat so little in each place, the clerks think me either patriotic or stingy with myself or both. And I get away from it. But I have they decided to write Mr. Hoover about my. I eat so little there.
This is what is going to ruin me. They will tell Herbert that anyone my size can keep up to the regulation notch on the abbreviated diet I have let them think I have been faithful to. Then there will a federal statute perhaps, I feel badly enough as it is. My conscience is a pin cushion. The law will undo me in the end. Can't you help me? I'll try to follow your advice, because I see already how wise and sensible you are. Give me some wisdom and sense. I need it even more than I do the futile filler I have been stealthily stowing away 'n the last three months.
Yours truly,
Fat Henry.
Now Henry, control yourself. Don't let the boys write to Washington at all. Be modest about it and insist that you are too insignificant for Mr. Hoover to take notice of. Say that if they do write you will also write and tell him that what they say isn't so at all; in doing this you will at last tell the truth yourself and 'unburden your soul.'
I know what it must be to lead a double life, Henry, and when a person your size does it, it is doubly the. Only way to break yourself of this habit is to lop off one cafe from your route every week. You will get gradually trained down to eating at home exclusively. After that, to keep you out of temptation, you simply must keep a companion with you when you go abroad in summer as to be the Next summer as the cherries, apples, and pears ripen, you will have to take unusual care. Already the rhubarb is high enough to make your mouth water as you pass by.
It is too bad, Henry, and I sympathize. But by next fall on this honesty-with self-and-the-world program you will be half what you are now. This is pennance for the duality of your present existence. By it you shall be made right with fellowmen. My blessing as you go on!
The champion mean man used to be the fellow who robbed widows and orbans."

"That's true."
"Yes, sires," replied the farmer

Annual Chemalurgist Has Special Features
Fifteen Prominent Employers Of College-Trained Men Tell Their Requirements
The Chemallurgist, the annual production of the department of chemistry, will make its appearance on the traditional May 1. Like the Chemallurgist of former years, it is composed chiefly of articles devoted to the discussion of the principles and phenomena of science; but unlike its predecessors, it will have no advertisements.
Its feature article is a symposium "On What the Employer Expects of College-trained Chemical Engineers and Chemists" by Dr. E. Ward Tillotson, Ph.D., acting director of the Mellen Institute of Industrial Research. The symposium contains representative letters from fifteen prominent employers in different parts of the United States which permit the reader to draw an interesting comparison between the ideas and opinions of different sections of the country. There are also articles by Dr. W. F. Faragher, Ph.D., of Mellen Institute; F. W. Liepsner, head of the United States food and drug commission at New Orleans, and N. F. Harriman, chemist and engineer of tests of the Union Pacific Railway.
Students Show Disregard For Beauty of Lilac Hedge
The publication contains a complete list of the alumni of the department of chemistry.
Branches Torn and Bushes Killed by Careless Removal of Blessons
A man drove up in a car to the hedge today and began working with a rake and a pair of shears. When he had a large armful of blossoms he left. Two women lifted a child up to the choose the blooms yesterday, ahead of time to deposit them on the branches of the hedge for partial support.
Students and people of Lawrence have been picking blossoms from the illic hedge at the east boundary of the campus the last few days with no regard for the bushes, tearing and them down in many instances.
The lilac hedge was planted under the direction of Dr. James Marvin, chancellor of the University from 1874 to 1878, who was responsible for obtaining them from nursery men here.
K. U. men and women have been grabbing the flowers , and in most cases they have broken off a long branch through recklessness and disregard for campus beauty. This lack of care and thought causes a shaggy appearance and kills part of the bush.
Dr. C. S. Johnson, of the department of physiological chemistry, has left for Fort Riley where he will assist in giving the physiological chemistry examination for the new national medical board. This examination admits to all government positions and is recognized by nearly every state medical board as sufficient license to practice.
