The University Kauai aims to provide students with the opportunity to go further than merely printing the new material available at University of Kaunas; to go farther than merely holding the new materials; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to learn from difficult subjects; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve to the best of their ability; to the students of the University.

"ANY RAGS, ANY BOTTLES, ETC."
Yesterday there appeared in Fraser a big long mysterious box with a large card attached and on the card the word "Salvage." Beneath this strange term appeared a motely array of articles such as; tin-foil, tooth paste tubes, cold cream jars, powder cans, medicine bottles, fruit jar tops, electric light bulbs, brass, iron, copper, aluminum.
No this is not a grab box at a surprise party, but simply a means for the people of the University to show their patriotism, and economic thrift. All the people of the University are asked to save any of the mentioned articles, and to place them in this box in Fraser. Most of the salvage will be sold here in town and the proceeds will go directly to the University Red Cross.
This is a chance for people to show their new economical, and conserving policies, as well as an example of intense patriotism. By the saving and observing of these little things you are making a direct contribution to the Red Cross as well as to democracy and freedom.
QUARANTINE THE MEASLES!
German measles are still thriving among the student body. The epidemic broke out just after vacation, and because of the great number of people exposed it has never died out, but has wound a devious trail from house to house. Students affected with the disease have grown careless and inconsiderate of their fellows, and have spread the epidemic by shamelessly appearing in classes and at public gatherings merely because they were not so ill that they must of necessity stay in bed.
The epidemic happens to be of a relatively light form of measles, a case of which lasts only three or four days. In many cases an attack does not involve any keen suffering. Exposure or taking cold at this time, however, is very likely to cause permanent impairment of sight or hearing, and possible an affection of the glands in the throat. But the important consideration is the spreading of the disease among the students, the letting the measles go the rounds attacking especially those who are below normal physically forcing upon them in varying degrees suffering, impairment of health, inconvenience and expense.
Those students who are inconsiderate enough to turn their measles attack into a Roman holiday by attending "movies, visiting in the various rooms of the house, going to parties, or by attending classes should feel the health force of public opinion. If their sensibilities seem blunted, then it is time to report them to the University health authorities.
"OH! SAY CAN YOU SEE?" Yes, the dolorous sight is plainly discernible. The cacophonous strains of "Wiedie's" electric organ begin to wall but the opening bars of the "Star Spangled Banner." The stars in our immortal banner jig to syncopated time as the carol gets up momentum.
The hundred add students who are refreshing themselves at this hallowed retreat slowly and wearily divorced themselves from the straws connecting them with their chocolate malted's and gather moral patriotism to watch their ice cream melt as they rise from their chairs and prepared to stand through all five verses of their national anthem.
Meanwhile, Meplomenc, frantic,
hovers over the scene of the musical
murder.
The dignity and quiet of a fifty-year-old institution at the University is broken by the presence of a blunt art risping, but newly oiled and varnished, musical machine. It's rendition of "Love O' Mike" is cheap enough, but it's "Star Spangled Banner" is comparable only to a hurdury-gurdy's version of "Lead Kindly Light." The very gods weep, and University students are bored and revolted at such a desecration of our national anthem.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT

It's the little things that count.
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
Just fifty-nine per cent of the executives of the fourteen divisions of the American Red Cross are women.
A salvage basket in every house will make the matron feel like a cheese-filled mouse.
Louise Geloke, seventy years of age, is totally blind yet she has knitted twenty pairs of socks for the Red Cross. She has taught her granddaughter to knit as well. She lives in Antigo, Wisconsin.
The championship amonglord-of-all-creation knitters of the U. S. A. is claimed by Bill Myers of Bartlesville, Oka. He is 64 years old and an ex-pugilist, at least in so far as he once boxed four rounds with the late John L. Sullivan when the old champ was in training for his battle with Jake Kilrain. Myers works as long as there is light to see and declares his record higher than any American male accomplishment.
The Red Cross chapter at Atchison has ben mystified by a knitter who did unusually god work but sent the articles by messenger to the Red Cross. The messenger steadfastly refused to tell who the sender was. Some "Burns Detective"-probably a woman—traced the mystery to its source! A bachelor banker, L. H. Munson, president of the Atchison Savings Bank admits his guilt. He can cast on and cast off. He can lose a stitch and pick it up. He can purl and make a Kitchertee toe, make ribbed sweaters, widen and narrow. He learned to knit as a boy in Sweden.
"Yeah, that swell dancer over there is Blink," said the Senior as he straightened the Freshie's tie, between dances. "He started out like you're doing, went to all the dances and what-not. His main amish was to be a "fusser." If he could only dance like one of the "frat" brothers; if he could only kid the women like Smith, the social idol; if he could only get by on greased bearings in the social whirl. But listen, Kid, the times have changed for him. Yep, he's a Senior. He knows—they all know he's a failure. Oh yes, the women like him, in his place, on the wax-floor. But I guess he's got a slant that he's just one among the many, a trailer behind the real works. When the big things come off, he's left out. Don't think he cares, huh? You tell 'em he does, a whole lot more than he lets on. Just a little mistake in getting started, that's all."
