The Daily Kansan aims to picture the campus of the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news and sharing it; to more seriously hold it; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be smart; to leave more serious problems to wiser heds; in all, to serve to help the students of the University.

Have you a little SALVAGE BASK KET in your home?
HOLY SMOKE
A wild-eyed debater stood in the door of the sanctum. He wanted to know if the Kansan really believed all it said about debating yesterday. He demanded hearing, he appealed to reason, justice, and fear of consequences. And then he was asked a question.
Did he ever hear of satire? Did he really read the editorial which ironically surveyed the attitude of those who can afford to ignore the thorough discussion of a question of the day? Would he读 it once more? Or should some kind-hearted person explain to him in words of one sylable precisely the significance of each thrust?
He looked ill. He wanted a drink of water. He said that he was not the only one,—that others had been deceived because they had not half read. The answer was grim—that if a Kansan editor could only get some people mad enough to give a second reading, an intelligent reading, there might be some hope for the column's survival.
What is so rare as an original and new witticism from a University Professor.
IMPOUND YOUR MULE
A little kicking now and then is done by the best of men. If nobody ever kicked, nothing would be kicked, and a great many things need kicking. Kick if things don't suit you in K. U. Kick and kick hard, but kick effectively and don't wear out your hind heels on the vacant air.
Don't silver your roommate's sensitivity with your ideas of what is outrageous and unjust and everlastingly wrong. Don't drag what few friends you have into a caucus expressly convoked to hear your troubles in University courses, social activities, athletics, or just plain physical exercise.
If you have a kick that has virtually enough to survive cold print, write it down. Then if it is so concerned with people who read the Kansan's iiced type, send it in.
There is a special column provided in the Kansan for just such communications. If you are in the University of Kansas, the Kansan is your paper. Use it. The absolute lack of student opinion in the paper gives one the idea that there is an overabundant emulation of friend "rabbit" on the Hill.
Bring Jack or Jinny right up to the rail. Let 'em kick, let 'em bat. Perhaps they will knock down something that has stood too long.
YOUR YEAR'S WASTEBASKET How many month's are you planning to put in the wastebasket this
year? About two-thirds of our students are expecting to spend a 3-months vacation at home. They won't do anything particularly, except to "horse around" in father's automobile. A few perhaps, will want to earn a little money to apply on next year's expenses. Sons of the agricultural population will not be burdened with leisure, but the percentage of these is comparatively small.
The majority of the students who spend the summer vacation at home will simply cast three months of the year into the waste basket. In the days of the horse and buggy and the coal oil lamp, and education as a by-product of leisure time, we could perhaps, afford to waste a quarter of a year for an expensive university plant, and for ourselves, individually. Summer used to be the proper time for the accumulation of mental rust. The present necessity for full efficiency in all matters, both public and private, cannot admit of this expensive and needless waste of a quarter of each year in the university world. The 1918 crop of high school students can be graduated in three years, and the present generation of university students may still effect a substantial saving of time by remaining for summer school from now on. The nation needs college men and women engaged in productive work.
The year's wastebasket and the garbage can must travel the same route. Talk it over when you are home Easter, and decide to attend the Summer Session.
"Every student should have a room, alone, and a fireplace." -Emerson. (Professor's note: "Also possibly an agreeable companion.)
S. O.S. FOR SURGICAL DRESSINGS "The emergency of the moment in France is hospital supplies. Unless they are rushed immediately in great quantities the consequences will be so grave that we dare not contemplate the result." This message of Mrs. George Lathrop, president of the American Fund for French Wounded has vital significance for every K. U. woman.
Every afternoon classes in surgical dressing are held from the hours of three to six o'clock. Is that news to anyone? If you read it the first time, the reading failed to move you to action unless you happen to be one of the few who are at work. So read it again, and again, and again.
Do you agree that western women are not patriotic? You give color to that sentiment every time you fail to "do your bit." The time to help with the surgical-dressing supplies is, not after awhile when you are not so busy, but NOW. As American women let us show our true colors here in Kansas.
Jinx No. 13 was stalking from the Journalism "quarters" in great indignation yesterday afternoon having learned that the journalism faculty had just shaken off his saprophytic hold. (The recent arrival of little Miss Clayton having raised the quota of sons and daughters of said faculty from thirteen to fourteen in number, and the "whodo" spirit of thirteen could no longer stick around).
The Jayhawker desk attracted the evil eye of Jinx N. 13 who had set forth in search of future victims. Ah! The Kansas Beauties! In Jinx-ishge he smacked his figurative lips at the thought of dwelling among THEM. Incarnating himself into the likeness of a measle he crept insidiously down upon the typewritten list of beauties over which he hovers maliciously.
Of course it was just a minute but in that time fifty persons were forced to walk in the mud in order to get around.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.
Two persons met two acquaintances on the walk thronged with class-going students and they stopped in the middle of the walk to talk.
It's the little things that count.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Women of Virginia are now demanding entrance in the state University. The state legislature is going to have to decide right away whether the women will be granted co-education or whether the state will build a co-ordinate college.
At Ohio State University, final examinations have been abolished and the manner of determining the students' grades is left entirely to the professors of the different departments.
The Girls' Glee Club of Oklahoma University is making a tour of the eastern and northeastern parts of Oklahoma which will last a week. This is the first time in the history of the school that a glee club composed of girls has gone into the state to represent the school.
Woman Yell Leader
The Junior class at the University of California has shattered all precedent by electing a girl as yell leader. She is Miss Marion Sutton, and she received more than twice as many votes in 2016 as White, who declares that many of the men of the class threw him down at the polls.
Crusty was late to breakfast at the University Club this morning. The Prophet didn't get there at all, but starved through an eight o'clock hour of agony. Crusty and he went Mary's Anne last night. They saw it.
Crusty and the Crab They Love Each Other
But the crab, despite the fact that he had occupied his permanent seat in the Bowersock's very front row as usual, was at the table when crusty rumbled in. In fact, the Crab was just finishing the last sweet drops of boiled Kawfee, and obliquely used his free left hand to shove a plate of one-pounders—latest mold of warbread—into Crusty's range.
"I don't want to die, thank you,
growled Crusty in his deepest regi-
ter.
"But nobody wants you to, dean fellow," renilled the Crab.
"I know better; everyone of you has it in for me." Crusty's quart of milk was set before him and he took from his vest pocket his bug-and-germ tester. "Do you suppose I would spend this extra fifteen seconds examining the honest gift of a faithful dog if I can't suspect man that I'm not dead." Nor does I don't want typhoid fever. And as for those bullets,—do you think my stomach is lined with corrugated iron?"
"No, no, nothing of the kind, Crusty old chap," the Crab felt really hurt, "we all know just what it's made of, and we pity you."
"That's it," fury frotted at the edge of the milk bottle—there was no time for a glass "that's it—it rub it in, rub it in! Pity me do you? I don't want your doggwain pity. I want to be left alone."
"Is there anything else you want, sir?" the waiter was bending over the edge of the crater. And then he wasn't. The tonble off the volcano.
"Well I'll be — — on the Hill in just three minutes!" that's all Crusty said, but his eyes burned holes through his glasses.
Can you imagine yourself holding a deep affection for a remorseless cold-hearted machine? This is exactly the way one K. U. freshman feels towards the cold steel liquid-air machine in the basement of the chemistry building.
Liquid-Air Machine Has Life-Long Friend
When seven years old this man was seriously ill with pneumonia in a hospital in Kansas City. Because of a scarcity of oxygen, upon which his life depended, it was procured from liquid air sent from the University plant. Now he considers the iron machine as his savior and friend.
"So long, old top, —got to go to
murmed the Crab.

The Demands of Spring
NATURE, herself, cannot be denied her bright new dress—and man and women are after all just a part of nature.
So during the next sixty days, two thousand men and women on the "Hill" will succumb to the "demands of Spring," purchasing clothes, shoes, hats, and such apparel befitting to the season.
For the live merchant who advertises, this opens a market of particular value and resourcefulness. The early birds are already out for this business with their advertising now appearing in the DAILY KANSAN, and just as obvious as ever, "the early bird will catch the worm"—or modernized—"the business!"
Call K. U. 66 for a representative to talk over your problems for this market.
Sincerely—
Fredd Rigby
