The Daily Kausan aims to picture the daily life of students at University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the new book; to offer more university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE BUSINESS OF SAVING
An invitation to join a war savings society will be sent to you tomorrow by the Finance Committee of the War Council. No emotional appeal will accompany the invitation, no touching stories will be told to you, to thrill temporarily, leaving you to wonder next month why you promised to deprive yourself to buy War Savings Stamps.
Instead you will be asked to voluntarily join an association of ten or more persons with the single idea of saving for our United States, every cent possible. It is the little luxuries that most students will give up; no one is asked to do without necessities. That is not necessary, yet. God grant, it never will be. As to saving the "luxury money" it is only a question of whether you deprive yourself, now, or whether the government will be forced to deprive you of the opportunity to spend unnecessarily.
WETNESS
It rains. It will rain some more
The ground will certainly be wet, and
puddle, and muddy. And some foolish
people are going to get wet feet,
consequently sore throats, hoarse
voices, graveyard coughs. A little
common sense just now will obviate
discomfort and reduced academic effi-
ficiency.
Rain coats and umbrellas, hats and rubbers should be used consistently. Consistent use presumes continuous availability of the necessary protections. Of course it is a burden to drag rubbers through a threatening day that in the end does not spill a drop. But the man who raised his umbrella to last night's weeping skies thanked his foresight for the accessibility of his instrument. And he should be complimented for his perseverance in carrying it all day long.
USUALS TO "THE CHAPERON"
Lizzie in the adjoining column is a spirited person and not so hypothetical as she seems. She is more than an individual, she is a whole type and that type is seventy-two point bold. Of course she blinks in the limelight which reveals her disregard for common folks, especially good old home town folks. Of course she starts a wall when the Kansan focuses on her foibles. No one expected anything else. Everyone is glad she did squale.
The Kansan is not running a Chaperon's Coloyum and does not intend to have any such innovation, but the Kansan certainly will keep a weather eye out for snobbiness on old Ored Hill. There is no need of pairing people off, not even when they descend the Hill with degrees under their arms. There is need, however, of amenable relationship and community friendliness in the University. And when friend from Osage City needs a double length periscope to see Lizzie and an interplanetary telescope to visualize her ambitions, there is likely to be adverse criticism not only in Lawrence, Kansas, but also in Osage City.
Seriously, then, undergraduates must never forget that K. U. is for Kansas, for all of Kansas, every county, every town, every living soul dwelling therein. And as for the representatives who come from the farther as well as from the nearest corners of the state, they must so feel the democratic contact and broadening influences in this institution that they may go back home with an ever-lasting conviction of the good and the
er of K. U.
ATHELITICS AS UNUSUAL
A call has been sent out for recruits for the basketball team and every freshman in the University has been urged to turn out for the freshman nine. It has also been suggested that football practice be held before outdoor baseball workouts, so that the new material which can be developed this spring may have the advantage of working with and under the guidance of the old and seasoned players. This is typical of war times in many of the schools of the Missouri Valley
The older athlete has answered the call of service and has left it to the underclassmen to uphold the athletic standards of his school. It is because of this fact that the coaches are doing all that is possible to use the old men to break in the new athletes into the necessary team work. And it is no mean task.
Here at the University only two old players came back from last season's track team, two from the basketball five, and only four men have returned for the baseball team. The basketball season is practically over and must not be treated unkindly. Something was wrong and it may have been the lack of men.
At present the crying need is for more material in track and baseball. Other schools have lost men, nevertheless they were strong enough to push the Kansas basketball team into third place. Future support both physical and vocal will determine the standing of the other teams this season. Especially is this true of the football eleven to be organized next fall.
The answer which the University of Kansas gives to the call for recruits on the track, baseball, and football teams will have much to do with the place the University will take in valley athletics this season and next. If there were no other reason than that of keeping in the best sort of condition for his country that alone should be incentive enough to keep the man active in athletics. Athletics are unusual rather than usual now, and the man who does not take an interest in them during war times may later regret his indifference.
Of the long row of seats they selected the ones farthest from the aisle yet they knew they were going to leave the entertainment before it was completed. When they left they had to climb over many people. It's the little things that count, even if they are number nine.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
THE ANATOMY OF SUCCESS
GET UP on your toes.
Put the best foot forward.
Stiften your backbone.
Throw back your shoulders.
Get abreast of the times.
Hold up your chin.
Keep a stiff upper lip.
Keep your eyes and ears open—
And your mouth shut.
Use your head,
Go ahead,
And get ahead.
Judge.
Wife—But why have you put your friend's things in the dining room? Hub—Oh, he used to restaurants; he won't enjoy his dinner unless he can watch his hat and coat.—Boston Transcript.
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. The name will then be posted in the news room, but the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of its authenticity. Communications are welcome.
I am Lizzie. I didn't ask anyone to try to keep up with me. If the effusive person who tried to in the editorial column of the Kansan yesterday is sore, he must blame himself and fate and not me.
To the Editor of the Kansan;
I deny that I ignored home town ties and threw him down for a young Lochvinar who came from farther west than Osage City. He arrived in time to find me settled in my ways here. I tried real hard to be nice to him, but he insisted on being a monopolist just because we learned our amo-amas-amat-amamus together. He was always friendly. Our other people than just us. He got so gloomy I preferred history outlines to his.
Then he got pevish and nursed his grudges. But he is dead wrong when he says I scorned his humble suit because I am emulating either Socrates or Xantipe or offering prayers for admission to hellenic rites. Now: I take my knowledge just as the rest of K, U. take it—spoon-fed daily 8 to 12 and 1 to 4 o'clock and long before he arrived here I had been saying my prayers of thanksgiving inside a temple. He better go to Delphi and consult the Oracle.
Finally, I locomote at a reasonable intellectual and social speed always within prescribed limits. And anyone going my way can join along if the whole party is agreeable to him. There's no need of tagging behind, but of course if he insists, why he will just have to take our dust. I am not on any K. U. remnant counter tagged as a left-over and I don't expect to be, principally because I present the man's epistolian idea of the very necessity of our being paired off. I don't need man in my scheme of civilized living. I am willing to tolerate him and be good to him if he is willing and deserving. I am the one, who stands before the counter.
MENTAL LAPSES

THE SOFT ANSWER
Professor Copeland of Harvard, as the story goes, reproved his students for coming late to class.
"This is a class in English composition," he remarked with sarcasm.
At the next meeting one girl was twenty minutes late. Professor Capewell waited until she had taken her seat. Then he remarked bitingly:
"Without the lemon, please," Miss Brown answered quite gently.—Topeka State Journal.
"How will you have your ten, Miss Brown?"
A HUMAN CENTIPEDE
"That officer there in uniform," she said, "was the great-great-grand-father of the present owner of this property. He was as brave as a lion, but one of the most unfortunate of men. He never fought a battle in which he did not have a leg or arm carried away."
An Irish housekeeper was showing ten家 housekeeper the family portraits in the backyard.
Then she added proudly: "He took part in twenty-four engagements."
She (pointedly): Oh, yes, they have. The reason they don't laugh at the funny things they see is because they don't want to hurt the poor thing's feelings—Richmond TimesDispatch.
He (brutally): Women have no sense of humor, anyhow.
"I haven't the slightest doubt of it. She's beginning to remind him that she was making $25 a week when he said,"—Birmingham Age-Herald.
'Dear me! Are you quite sure about that?'
Their honeymoon is over."
A "Tommy," lying in a hospital, had beside him a watch of curious and foreign design. The attending doctor was interested.
HIS GENEROSITY
'Where did your watch come from?' he asked.
A little piqued, the doctor inquired how the foe had come to convey this token of esteem and affection. "E 'ad to" was the legal
"A German gave it to me," he answered.

You wouldn't go to a wedding uninvited would you?
NO. of course, you wouldn't. We feel more like doing a thing if we are invited to do it—that is most of us do.
Then let's "strain" this down and let it "percolate" through our minds—
The merchants of Lawrence who advertise in the DAILY KANSAN are the ones who are inviting you to visit their stores. THEY REALLY WANT AND APPRECIATE YOUR TRADE.
Make it a rule hereafter to trade with those merchants who invite you to trade with them—and don't forget to tell them you saw their ad in the KAN-SAN!
