The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate site of its university further than merely printing the news about its faculty and faculty wives hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wise leaders; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.
Gnawing your heart out? Living without chocolate eclairs, charlotte russe—and gum? Still at it? Tired of hearing the dinging of the stingy singers, you wish they would shut up and let you starve it out in peace to the bitter end of all.

STINGINESS AND STARVATION
It really isn't so bad as that. Self-sacrifice is an overworked word but both man and his long-suffering Maker know that it isn't an overworked practice. Stinginess should begin severely at and stay there, and should apply only to one's self. Then one can approach the ideal of self-denial only if it is in the interest of others, especially of one's countrymen.
Starving is harrowing. Nobody likes to think of it. Some people are doing it. But not on Mount Oread. There is no call for it. Gluttony is a thing of the past, however, and intelligently commanded appetites are getting proper, sufficient satisfaction.
America has not begun to save yet. Stinginess and starvation are not yet come. They may not come. That depends on healthy economy and deliverate saving now. Penury is a different matter. So is national insolence. There is an obligation in just being an American these days. We win or we go broke together. And we are going to win.
Then don't look like martys ready for the stake. Don't shrink as if a crushing blow were about to descend on you when you meet a word or a sign that mildly suggests you buy a stiftamp or two or nurse along a Baby Bond.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
She eats her meals at a boarding club. She is always neglecting to pass along the dish containing the community supply. Moreover she has such an auditory failing when she is asked to pass the bread, that the more timid ones had rather do without than make the attempt.
It is a small matter, but trifier count.
FOLLIES SELF-FINANCING
We have attempted to keep our recreations as near the normal in character and frequency this winter as has been possible because of the unnormality of the times, believing that such was the best course. But these entertainments have been relieved of all extravagant or unpatriotic character in being simplified to the last degree. Expensive features have been strictly tabooed. Many of the entertainments given have turned over part or all of the profit made to war relief work.
Possibly it has occurred to many students that the advisability of giving the annual Follies this year was doubtful. Costumes are the main item of expense of the production. Practically every act requires costumes, and some acts a change of costumes. But this year each member of the cast makes and furnishes his own costumes. After this fashion the Follies cast is sewing, turning out robes for maidens Chinese, senatoras Spanish, summer girls, minstrels and university "Patrias."
So we need not miss the fun of the Follies nor go with an uneasy conscience, since the entertainment is being so largely financed by private generosity. Moreover, the precedent furnishes a valuable suggestion to managers of succeeding entertainments.

He was trying to catch a train.
When the train pulled into the station he was still half a mile away. A small boy passing in an automobile in a hurried effort to get home slowed up and asked him to hop in. He easily made the train. It's the little thing that counts.

The University of Syracuse has launched a campaign to enroll at least 2000 members of the student body as in favor of National prohibition. The faculty will be asked to sign a similar petition. The object of the drive is to enroll every person connected with the University in favor of the amendment so that added emphasis will be laid on the passage of the amendment.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will not then be used until the communication is edited and the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of his or her work. Communications are welcome.
After a little consideration it should be apparent that the holding of military drill classes overtime should have more publicity than has been given. Nearly every night the entire class is held ten or fifteen minutes overtime, and at least one company will be on time but once this semester. That once was when the second lieutenant was in charge of the company.
The injustice of the whole matter is obvious. The two o'clock company is dismissed on time. The compulsory gym classes are dismissed on time. There are no reasons why the students who are so unfortunate as to be in military drill at four o'clock should be the only ones to suffer. If you are not to be held for sixty-five minutes at four o'clock instead of fifty minutes the men in charge should be courageous enough to say so.
The writer of this communication has talked with Prof. W. O. Hamilton, head of the department of physical education regarding holding overtime and Professor Hamilton remarked that he is going to talk to the commandant about the matter and see that the classes were dismissed on time. There is no evidence that anything has been done as the classes with the exception of one company; have been held overtime every night since. However, the blame would seem to rest on the individual captains, as one company has been dismissed on time.
As the semester is nearly half gone,
as something should be done to correct
this evil while it will still do some
good to those affected. The four
o'clock class has already drilled several
hours more than is required.
