The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university as a place of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news from Kansas; to go further versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be willing to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
A FRAT CAMOUFLAGE PASSES
MONDAY, MARCH, 4, 1918.
From this time forth, says Registrar George O. Foster, in making out the competitive scholarship rankings of fraternities and sororities all students enrolled in the University who are either pledged or initiated by such an organization will be considered as members. It is to be hoped that this basis will remove any cause for dissatisfaction which may have existed. The plan eliminates the useful possibility of considering an initiated member inactive, or of omitting pledged from the membership list which organization sends to the registrar's office as a basis for its average percentage.
There has been some doubt among Greek organizations as to whether or not pledges were considered as members by the office in making out the rankings. An assistant in the registrar's office says that some organizations have been sending lists of initiated members only, and some sending in both pledges and initiates while others do not bring in any list
Manipulation of these lists of members with the intent of raising the scholarship percentage of the organization is in the same class of dishonesty as cheating in examinations, and should meet with a penalty equally severe. Registrar Foster promises that any camouflaging will produce results disastrous to the organization making the attempt. Membership lists in the future will be checked up. This definite basis for the competitive ranking should be clear to everyone. Deception will be impossible.
Most people would not enjoy living in the same place with the Kaiser. Perhaps that is the reason that so many want to go to Heaven when they die.
THE JAYHAWKER'S IDEAL
tion toward which we strive. Personal ideals and community ideals are constantly subject to a change toward the better. Our ideal should never be reached. As we near that goal toward which we have striven in the past, our horizon is enlarged by the progress we have made in the striving, and by virtue of this larger horizon is given us the light to perceive the newer, greater, and higher ideal which lies beyond. And there is always such an ideal beyond. Seldom do we reach that Alexandrian pinnacle where we must sigh for other worlds to conquer. Thus it has been with the 1918 Jayhawker. The book was planned to be a war annual. When those plans were made, the staff scarcely knew what the term meant. But with that ideal the work was started, and, as the workers became educated to the
primary principles of what such a book should be, their horizon inevitably became enlarged and their ideals became more comprehensive. It became apparent that the field for visualizing, by stories, articles, and pictures, the intimate connection between this great institution and the horrible cataclysm of war was practically limitless.
Departments were organized which have never been seen in previous Jayhawkers—and others were cut down because the events of current history have caused them to pale into insignificance. Hence, the Liberty Bell Book of 1918 is an annual different in makeup, working in new fields, and unique in many ways. It is a book with an ideal—a growing ideal—which its staff has tried hard to reach.
Now we hear of ground glass being found in bread. We must not complain however, as everything must be done to conserve the wheat.
GERMANY GRABS
Six men rode into Sagebrush on a cold wintry day just as the sun was hiding its face under a cover of snow a foot deep. The fourteen persons of the village had just gone into their small huts for the third night since the cold snap had set in. There were just enough food supplies to last until the first day of spring. The outlook was gloomy.
The six bandits were heavily armed but lacked food supplies to last them until they could return to their prosperous home city. They had six rounds of ammunition but it was enough to make their entry into the city a success and their robbery of the stores in the village easy. The inhabitants could do nothing but look on helplessly.
It was a case of getting what they wanted because they were tall powerful and could take it. Yet they could have left some supplies for the people of Sagebrush. But they were selfish and thought only of the peaceful city for which they were headed through the storm. And they took away everything they could carry, leaving the fourteen inhabitants to their fate.
This is a true story. The six inhabitants represent Germany. The village typifies Russia with its stores and ammunitions. Just enough to last if the winter is not too severe.
Germany has invaded Russia and grabbed everything that could be taken. The people have been left to their own resources and in the case of Russia it means that the people will starve.
We cannot conceive of six bandits riding into a town and committing such a crime. It is not human, we say. But Germany has done this. It is hard to comprehend the Prussian mind because it is not human. Or at least it has no yet proved to resemble the human in the present war. Consequently innocent Russia suffers, while Germany grabs.
His room mate got up quietly every morning while he slept. But the other roomie insisted that he had to keep plugging away with his studies until midnight the next night, while his roommate was trying to get to sleep. One was thoughtful and the other thoughtless of the little things of University life.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
WHY?
How can we conscientiously spend $4 for an annual at this time, when such stringent economy is being practised in every direction? Because those of us now on Mount Oread may not be here when another annual is published.
Why buy a Jayhawker?
Can we foretell how many of us may be in the service one year from this date? Can any one prophey whether conditions will permit a Jayhawker to be published by the Class of 1919? Do we wish to be without a book which portrays the Camp and Army life of our University Boys who have left to fight for the highest

BITS OF ETIQUETTE
What is a gentleman?
Of course, Webster says that he is a man well born; a man well bred; a man of fine feelings, especially one of good character, raised above the vulgar by education, habits, and social esteem. But how does the University of Kansas student recognize a gentleman?
One student opened up his ideas of what a man is by saying: He is a man who keeps his hands clean, one student says. He is a man who is honorable, and chivalrous, repeats the same judge.
A person who does not get mad when the other people shove him out of a line that is waiting to get tickets to the theater, the way another person would.
The gentleman is the courteous man, the man who is not continually asking to smoke in the presence of women; in other words not to be a human stove all the time, claims another student.
He is a man with a silk hat, and an English coat says yet another.
"A gentleman can be recognized by his character rather than by the way in which he acts. His code of ethics is adjustable to meet the situation. A gentleman would not steal from a blind child on the sidewalk." This student wished to be quoted.
He tries to do the right thing at the right time and is always considerate of others a new student in the University says.
"Gentlemen is a misused term," was all another studious man had to say.
"In this vast commonwealth of ours, the man is distinguished from the common folk by his refraining from smoking cigarettes in the presence of a woman, nor does he swear in her presence. He gives his seat in the crowded car to her. It is not necessary that he have seen a fiction, but in a certain amount of refinement and polish. He should also have a fine sense of morals." The eighth student had all of this to say about a gentleman.
Then the careworn prof, looked over his dued spectacles, cleared his ears.
over his dusty spectacles, cleared his throat and gravelly said:
"A gentleman consistently and unostentatiously governs his conduct with quiet, sympathetic regard for others. He would have nothing in his dress, attitude, speech, or actions which would offend commonly accepted good taste, sound sense, and necessary for bearance. His whole life's problem is adjustment of self to surrounding people, adaptation of personality to personality. And so far as we may be never sure
