The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university more than merely printing the news and then merely printing the news in the varsity halls, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous to be brave; to wear wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.
THE RETURN OF HOPE
TUESDAY, MARCH 26, 1918
Long before the light of Christianity appeared in the world the ancients celebrated the return of the sun in the spring of the year, the renewal of life that came up from the hills of Samothrace for the brief Agean spring ___.
This year of years when Christianity has been the light of men for centuries, men are looking into a shadowed future. The spring comes and with it the day kept in remembrance of the everlasting renewal of all life. But it brings no joy. It brings no peace. And as for hope—it is rather resolution and determination than hope that holds man to the burden of work that must be done before the shadow clears away.
Easter, the Rebirth, the Dawning of life's immortality, this is the soul's season, when the whole force of nature turns, awakes, and scorning the winter drab gives itself up wholly to the glad extravagant expression of the innermost radiance of the spirit. It is now that the white illies of the soul blossom.
This Easter descends upon a well nigh hopeless world. It sees a chaos, an armed combat, an awful vista of human suffering on a darkened world stage. One half the world fights for a higher, fuller, and a more perfect life. The other is leagued with the powers of darkness. There is no peace. There can be no peace until the battle for Humanity, God's highest cause, sees victory. But God has touched the eyes of the Crusaders and given them sight and renewed their will with His. Their plowshares have been set into the ground and there will be no looking backward when the plow goes through mire, shambles, and horror.
Surely the souls of the men who go forth to this war are clad in gorgeous raiment, and are freed from mortal bars and bonds. They on the edge of Eternity can realize that time is as brief as a shadow, and life but a frail web. Their eyes will have seen beyond the grave, and in the faces of the slain will be the love of Him who was tortured and died in their same cause.
This Easter is indeed a white priest of Eternity, bringing to us a return of hope, and brightening the path of right. For the will of man to right is God's will; and God's will be done.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT "What is he?" she inquired, refer ring to his frat denomination.
"He's nothing," he replied carelessly; not in his heart meaning what he said. Our ways of speaking may be a small matter, but—
No amount is too small to LEND TO YOUR COUNTRY. Buy War-Savings Stamps!
A POOR COACH
On the eve of the great football battle here in America, the college football coach speaks before the final rally. He tells of the season's great record. Half of the men are in a crippled condition. For this reason they will go into the final and deciding battle in bad shape, but they must fight all the harder because of this fact. He urges the men to root for their team if the players are to do their best.
Most of the players are in good physical condition and ready to meet their opponents. The game should be won if the players put up the necessary fight, and show the old time spirit which has won in the past. No word as to what the final outcome will be, only the hint that victory is within their grasp if they play the right sort of a game.
Here the Kaiser erred. He showed the ear marks of the weak athletic coach. He placed the men in such a position that if they failed he had no excuse to offer for this failure. As a coach the Kaiser made a big blunder.
But Coach Kaiser Wilhelm, before the eve of the great struggle which is now going on at the western front, took the floor before his trained hordes and told them how good they were. He knew they were in fit condition; they had the strength; the courage; the training. Their early season victories, he said should make them feel confident. His men were fit. So far Bill was right. But he went too far.
He told his Kultured Hordes that they had it in them to win; they had never before really been licked; they could not be defeated. Victory was certain for them. He puffed them up. They could not fail.
They asked her to set down her schedule for the school week of 120 ours and this is what she wrote;
TEMPUS FUGITS
In class, 15 hours.
Prep for class, 30 hours.
Eating, 12 hours, 45 minutes.
Sleeping, 40 hours.
Dressing (minimum), 2 hours,
minutes.
Physical training, 4 hours.
Surgical dressings, 2 hours.
Food lecture, 30 minutes.
Y. W. C. A., 1 hour.
Exhaustive and exhausting—she worked harder on the account than she did on the week's work. And even then she forgot what every girl worth the name has to go in for—the committees of 57 varieties, the Woman's Forum, basketball, soon baseball, departmental clubs, and so on down to mere dates.
True the poor child cannot do everything all of the time. But when in a mad scramble to get accomplishment accomplished she does nothing in no time at all and then sits right down for a good cry—just put a pencil in her hand and a piece of paper under the pen and make her gauge the wingbeats of fugtting temps.
When I was a girl, I thought as a girl, I acted as a girl, I knit on girlish flubdubs, I ate girlish candy, but now that I am a co-educated woman I have put away girlish things—I do soldier knitting.
What's the use of that? Oh, no use. No use at all. She is convinced of futility, gets out of the way, ceases to be a hindrance to others, and after a sojourn in the daze comes out and tries again. Perhaps she will wake up in a new world and live as those life who do the work of a day and more.
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF USJARE ENLISTED
RedCross News
Some of the women who do not work at the surgical dressings room because it inconveniences them remind one of the banker in a London air raid. A British three-inch gun took up its position in a fashionable residence district, in front of the home of a wealthy banker. The banker stood the noise for a time and then walked out and said to the officer in charge:
Astounding Asseverations
Howard (Scrubby) Laslett: "I've got just about as much love for a newspaper man as I have for a track man."
Holen Rhoda Hoopes: "Why is it that Webster's cartoon school teachers always look just like me?"
Loven (Red) Brown: "Nothing they could do 'over there' would surprise me now."
Stray Thoughts of the Great And the Near Great
William Oliver Hamilton: "The best basketball that is played in the world is played in the state of Kansas."
James Thomas Pringle: "If you want to make me sore, just call me 'Tuck.'"
"Why should women be true?"—this is accredited to one of the Beauties who survived the Jayhawker contest.
"Now I can sympathize with Solomon," --Don Davis, of man activities.
Clarence Addison Dykstra: "Politics is the most humap thing in the world."
Victor Emanuel Helleberg: "Now,
as a matter of fact ___."
Samuel Orrick Rice: "The vocational disease of teaching is a mean disposition."
"I say, would you mind taking that a little farther down the street?" We don't like the row and it is fairly shaking our walls."
William Watson Davis: "The invention of submarines makes this the greatest day for liars since the invention of fishing."
The young lieutenant was nonplussed. "Look here," he snapped out, "do you take this for a blooming hurdy-gurdy?"
There is no resting time for the women of the Red Cross. No cessation is allowed to the surgical dressings enthusiasts. A constant stream of demands pours into Red Cross headquarters. The Medical Department of the U. S. Army is preparing the title unit for a large scale. The demand for hospital garments and surgical dressings is insistent.
You don't have to have any postage if your soldier is a prisoner of war, but you mustn't seal the letter. When your soldier is a prisoner of war this is the way you should write to him: The letter should be written on only one side of the paper, and be not more than two pages in length. It should be enclosed in an envelope on the front of which is the name and address of the soldier plainly written. In the upper left hand corner of the envelope should appear the words, Prison of War Mail.
No rostage, via New York.
On the back of the envelope the name and address of the sender should be written. The envelope should not be sealed and no postage is necessary. The letter may be dropped into any post box and will be delivered in due time.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
The boys both of them loved the campus, but for them the scattered and pasted handbill meant added zeit to campus beauty. Soon there were many little things dotting the campus. Some were fastened down permanently while others just naturally blew around. The visitor from the high school liked to see these little things, perhaps.
Gran'ma's been to France and back Counin Sue sells Bonds,
Aunt Kate talks on canning things—Mother—I dunno.
