The Daily Kansan sits to picture the University of Kansas; to go for further than merely printing the news and variety holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
OUR CAMPUS SOLDERIENES
TUESDAY, MARCH 5, 1918.
A good deal of vicarious soldiering is being done on our campus by students possessed of adjustable consciences who attire themselves in hemi or demi-uniform. Instances are surprisingly and disgustingly numerous.
Any civilian, who for any reason whatsoever, does not enlist at this time, certainly has no moral right to usurp clothing or materials which are so badly needed to cloth our fighting forces.
The men who have been wearing khaki wool sweaters, for instance, on the campus could not have been ignorant of the fact that the wool supply is scanty, and desperately needed to make sweaters for men in France, or even those in our own training camps. Evidently each was willing to deprive one man in France of a sweater, for a sweater is a sweater; just so many hanks of wool plus so much of someone's time and energy. Those students who are in the second draft and expecting to be called soon are excusable for securing sweaters and wearing them a little ahead of time. But many of these solderines are not expecting, or intending, to encounter any trench cold.
The near-martial bearing which some of these simulators of heroism actually seem to take on is pititable and grotesque. The man of so little consideration and a spirit of such caliber is, well, to say it mildly, something of a slacker.

A CHANCE FOR TEN HOURS CREDIT
The University Summer Session enrollment should climb to unheard of heights at it's opening, June 11, if students consider the urgent need at present of completing their college courses in the shortest possible length of time. Every branch of war service is calling for men and women of college training. All graduates will be needed as soon as they can prepare themselves.
The ten weeks session covering from about June 11 to August 22 offers the opportunity for a maximum of ten hour's credit. Over 200 courses will be given, affording a wide choice. Many "war courses," either purely informative, or designed to fit the student for some kind of service, are to be offered. Among the departments offering courses occasioned by the war is that of sociology, which has prepared a course in war relief and home service, and another in applied sociology, with reference to problems of the war. The department of chemistry has courses in gas and oil analysis, and the department of physical education has two courses in military science. An informational
course on the origin of the great war is being given by the department of history, and eight courses are to be given in higher mathematics, which are invaluable to the man expecting to enter service.
The War Savings Society is going to solicit members at gymnasium classes. Even the lowly gym class is meat to the solicitor these days.
FACULTY FOOD FUSSERS
Less than two weeks after the Senate passed a ruling which put the men of the University under arms in prescribed military drill, a good solid squad was formed by men of the faculty for similar drill and the work of the squad was progressed creditably since. Last week the Senate passed another measure. The women must attend food conservation lectures given on alternate Wednesdays. At the first lecture ten of the fifty faculty women were in attendance.
It is hardly reasonable to expect that those forty other faculty women have such a thorough knowledge of food and the war that they do not need the lectures recommended to this University by the federal government and considered by a wise majority of the Senate absolutely necessary to the 900 women who are students at K. U. True—some of the 900 will preside over their own kitchens before long. But the big thing expected of all is real missionary work of an unobtrusive nature. And a teacher is especially endowed by nature and training for this very business of helping others to understand and to do things
Many faculty men will soon be able to take a squad of men and give them preliminary training for service. It might be considered the better part of women patriotism if as many faculty women would make themselves able to explain and demonstrate in an efficient and practical manner the concrete aids for solving for folks right here at home in Kansas the big problems of food plus war.
RedCrossNews
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
About 250 schools in St. Louis have enrolled 150,000 school children in the Red Cross Junior membership.
A call from Washington has been issued to Junior Red Crossers. They have been asked to furnish garments for 18,000 refugees.
Kansas has grown in Red Cross chapters from 53 July 1st to 123, Feb. 18, 1918.
Vice admiral Beeson of the French navy says, "What the American Red Cross is doing you know as well as I; there is no need of talking about it. It does not talk—it acts."
If you are a girl; if you look well in a nurse costume; if you do like the idea of taking care of a handsome lieutenant you will be interested in knowing that in the early part of December and February groups of nurse's tides were sent to France to act as assistants to the American Red Cross nurses. The work of these women is with the infantry welfare work and French repatriates.
There is no soap and little hot water in France. That is the one reason that careful selection of garments sent to refugees must be made. The colors must be somber and the cloth substantial, for it will receive hard wear. It is not economical to send second-hand clothing because the cost of shipment will be"just as great and the wear not so long as that of new. Besides it will be good for the women of the University to wear out their own old clothes for once.
Spend, but spend wisely; save, and save earnestly; buy War-Savings Stamps!
It will take a brave man, indeed, to visit his old home town again before seeing and taking the dimensions of the fellow townman, Mr. Jess Willard.
Hilltop Philosophy
It is a graft if the shinker—not the worker—get rich by it.
A pupil in the Philadelphia city schools made the following discoveries: "The human body is made up of the head, the thorax and the abdomen. The head contains the brain when there is any; the thorax contains the heart and the lungs; the abdomen contains the bowels, of which their are five, A. E. I. O. and U, and sometimes W. and Y."
As a rule the professor who is not stingy with words of appreciation and encouragement gets the most satisfactory work from his classes. Many a student on the point of throwing his books in the corner and starting for home has taken up his work anew and made a success of it, encouraged to do so by the sympathetic words of some professor.
A stock complaint of the business world has been that the scarcest article on the market is an industrious young man. But have you noticed that since the war began that worthless boys and young men are on the decrease? Nearly everyone is enrolled in the Army or the industrial forces of the Nation. The young man in either who is energetic and willing to work will have no cause to complain in the future.
Quoth Senior to Frosh
"So you're not going to the 'Y party tonight?' said the Senior as he looked into the Freshie's room. "Going to grind, huh? You say not? Well I'll be darned. Haven't a blmped thing to do, but just don't want to go. You're a fine guy! Planning to be one of these hermit fellows who lived in ye' good old days," are you? In ye' good old days, are you to mix with the "common herd?" Fraid your sweet little self will get contaminated. Or maybe you don't want to show up the rest of the folks by your superior gray matter.
"Listen, Kid, I'm giving it to you straight;—get out and do a little mixing. Don't suppose it'll do the other people much good, but it will put a new shine on you. Yes of course you can go through the University and associate only with your class rooms and the library. Others have done it. I've seen 'em. They think they know it all; but they're like a half baked potato, still raw on the one side. You don't want to finish up like that do you? Get out and mix in a few affairs—not too many, but enough to know people. You are going to be sorry later on, if you don't watch out.

She made her way up the social ladder. She was being introduced to royalty. "This," she was told, "is Sir Douglas Drake, knight of the garter."
"Oh, how nice," she gushed,
"pleased to meetcha."

The Carnegie corporation has presented McGill University at Montreal, Canada, with $1,000,000 in recognition of the institution's service and sacrifice toward Canada's part in the war.
Although chicken gizzards are really of no value, some salvage enthusiast have been contributing them, thus bringing unfavorable comment from headquarters, containers of all non-perishable material are coveted.
