The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students, often further than merely printing the news on paper or printout; we vesty holds; to play no favorable; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be smart; to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.

CANDY YOU MAY EAT
College people, more than any other class of Americans, are affected with an insatiable desire for candy and sweets. Now with war upon us it has become necessary to use precaution as to what kind of candy may be bought to save sugar.
The Food Administration says that it is possible to eat candy and satisfy your sweet tooth, and still be a patriot if care is used in selecting the kinds of candy that contain a minimum rather than a maximum amount of sugar. To aid in the selection of war-time candy the administration has listed in four groups the candies containing a minimum amount of sugar.
The first group includes chocolate-coated candies with nut and fruit centers especially t the old-fashioned chocolate creams with the bitter-sweet coating, and uncoated candies such as nougatines, Turkish pastes, and similar varieties. There is an abundance of chocolate; it is pure and wholesome and has high food value.
Marshmallows and similar candy comprises the third group. They may be eaten plain, toasted, dipped in chocolate, rolled in coconut and in many other palatable forms, also popcorn confections.
The second group includes "hard boiled candies" such as lemon drops, stick candy, fruit tablets, peanut bars, peanut brittle, glace nuts and the like. In this group may also be placed molasses candies, such as taffies and kisses.
In the fourth group are included gundrops, jellies, jelly beans and the like, giving a wide variety of candy made from pure and wholesome ingredients and containing a minimum amount of sugar.
In eating candy in any of these four groups the consuming public is doing two definite things to aid conservation. First, it is saving sugar without neglecting the great American sweet tooth; second, it is enabling the confectioners to continue their industry and employ their labor as usual.
More than one French student has nearly gone mad trying to translate a solo rendered in French.
APATHY IS HERE
War has brought many changes to the University of Kansas. But the most hopeless thing which has developed is the wave of apathy which has swept over the University campus. Students appear in classes with a nonchalance which is suggestive of their having been gassed. The lack of spirit is distressing.
Men come out for track occasionally and irregularly. The baseball squad this season is noticeable for
its lack in numbers. In a war year, all the read-the-score-at-home contingent should go into the field, if only in preparation for service. Yet this year fewer men have tried for the teams. There should be some effort to make up in quantity what is lacking in quality and yet this year there have been fewer to try for the teams.
Debating has never been so poorly attended and so little interest given to it by the students of the University. In dramatics alone has there been anything like the usual interest shown. There have been the necessary coaches and the proper management. But still things have drifted.
An old K. U. man who has been h. Lawrence for the last two months remarked that he had not heard a Jayhawker yell since he had been in town. School spirit was nil to him, he said. The war is partially to blame for this self-satisfied feeling. Why should we have a rally? The University is moving along in fairly good shape. Who cares who becomes president of the Men's Student Council? He is sure to be a worthy student because he goes to the University of Kansas.
The women of the University have a nice lady-like election recently. The candidates were nice and were sure of getting the offices, because they had no competition. Few went to the polls to vote. More apathy. The track team recently lost three of its best athletes. But there has been no rush of men to fill these places. Let the other fellow go out and take care of those places. The other man is good enough to represent the University. Why should I go out for the team? There is only one old man back trying for the Jayhawker baseball team. The team is a nine of younger men. Too few are trying for each position.
Tennis is still in its infancy this year, with little hope of its getting out of it. It has been a long drag for most students. Many have left for the service. The interest of many has been scattered. Studies have suffered and the student body has assumed a perpetually bored air. Even in the matter of freshmen caps, the sophomores have watched the green yearlings pass by minus his distinctive headgear. Who cares whether they wear caps since the University Senate takes away the means of enforcing this hallowed convention?
The University has men in service who are doing things in the world war. There is no better time than the present for a little proof that all the ginger has not gone into the army.
BUT-
It was at the last concert. The student knew good music when he heard it but he could not appreciate the continuous whistling, humming, and keeping time with his foot that the musically artistic person sitting behind him was doing. Of course, the artistic person was having a fine time and was in his glory, but—
The Kaiser's ailment has been diagnosed at last. A Chicago professor calls it "Megalomania." If you or I had the disease the friends of our enemies would diagnose it as "swelled head."
The ears of one of the alto players in the navy band wiggled as he blew. This seems to be a case of playing by ear.
Young Man—"Please come out in the garden with me?"
Fair Coad—"Then I don't want to go." Froth.
The Quartermaster, (to new arrival): "Now, my lad, what do you want?"
Fair Coed— "Oh no, I mustn't go out without a chaperone."
Young man—"But we won't need one."
The New Arrival: "I hear you keep hirts. Will you show me some, please?"—S sketch.
Prize Poem Contest Is Opened In the Kansan
HEAR YE! HEAR YE!
The following judges have consented to serve for the Kansan Prize Poem Contest: Professors Hoopes and Wattles of the department of English and Professor Humble of the School of Law. The editors of the Kansan will act as a preliminary clearing house and publish every day for many days what is worth the judges' while to consider. Candidates for Kansan laureatehops are urged to get their heart-thrubs and soul-sueethings in early because the contest is likely to close most any time sine die or ipso facto or something like that which might mean you get no warning and there's no opening the gate of heaven the second time.
Besides the honor there is a prize, a real prize, given by the Kansan. Fred Rigby gives it in person. It is a book, not the kind of volume you use to get—"The Last Days of Pompeii" or "Last of the Mohicans" or last of anything—this is the first of something. It is the Treasury of War Poetry collected from all writers both sides of the Atlantic, classified according to theme as well as to geographical situation of source. Houghton Mifflin Company publish it. Furthermore, Fred Rigby will be one of the foremost of the lower prize court. The idea he has not the additional quality of saving space and insists on being effusive he may have to tell you that genius is cheap when paper is high. But he really feels kindly about this whole matter. Recently he was overheard saying, "I do like pomes, honestly I do!" And Fred meant what he said.
Send or bring your poems to the Kansan office, then. Address them to the Contest Editor, for he is the delegated receiver of all dedications to te Muses. The compositors are waiting. Never mind their wicked grims. They who have set up Browning may yet find his successor in the University of Kansas.
Fireside Memories Verne Boyd
Hear that pitter, patter, patter
Of the drops of rain without,
See them spitter, spatter spatter
—Tit-Bits.
See them spitter, spatter, spatter
As they drop from the spout.
Close your window, poke the fire
Get out the wormy corn to parch,
String the apples on the wire,
Add him this is good March
Pull up the chair for our Padre Here Sister Ann take the knitting Of our kind and gentle Madre And see her feet has a sitting.
I have my hands full, och!
The corn is burning black.
—Life.
Quick! get some salt from the pouch And pull those baked apples back.
"man dat knows what he ja'kis训"
"bout," said Uncle Eben, "is liable not to be as interestin' as do one dat don't be"
"you know long as he's keepin' you entertained."
Now draw nigh you willow chair,
Jerk off an apple from the spit.
Mother that will beat any eclair
Made by a soda jerker's mitt.
Ah, this is grand old March
Come forget about the Dutch
Forget that Caesar lost all his starch
By the bloody Liberators' touch.
It all happened in this month,
Even the Kaiser and the Turk
Have sought to slay and to hunt
But not with a Roman's dirk.
To get the senators' gum in his hair And be pulled around by the ear.
Even our President takes his chair In this month of the year
Although Alfred had arrived at the age of twenty-one years he showed no inclination either to pursue his studies or in any way adapt himself to his father's business.
"Maybe he hasn't found himself yet," consoled the confidential friend. "Isn't be rifted in any way?"
"I don't know what I will ever make of that son of mine," bitterly complained his father, a hustling business man.
A GIFTED SON
Come this is the beginning of spring.
The last of famous old March,
Don't you hear those birds sing
"Gifted?" quered the father, "Well,
I should say he is! He ain't got a darned thing that wasn't given to him."
Ho! the worms, forward march.
Camouflage Clothing
Camouflage clothing looks like what it is not. It is an imitation of something that is real. It is "store window clothing"—fairly good for display purposes, but not built to stand the rigid test of wear.
It is sometimes hard to distinguish between artfully camouflaged clothing, made from cotton adulterated fabrics, and real clothing made of all wool. There is a way of knowing.
The Hart Schaffner & Marx label in your clothes is a guarantee of all wool fabrics. You want this kind of clothes because they are real economy-they wear longer and hold their shape and color-newness.
Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes offer a genuine investment opportunity, backed by the Honor Pledge of "the store with.a Conscience"—that is your guarantee of better values,better merchandise and better service.
This Spring, practice sane clothes economy.
Figure your clothes expense by the year rather than by the suit.
New Spring models in Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes $22.50, $25.00,
$27.50, $30.00, $35.00 and better.
