The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the city, and to render it more than merely printing the news that is important to the university values; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to be generous; to leave one's smile on the wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, FEB. 14, 1918.
THE TWENTY-FIFTH HOUR
Astronomers many years ago divided the day into twenty-four hours. The University Senate is trying to divide it into twenty-five hours. Students here do not like the experiment.
And the result. Any student could have predicted it, but the Senate overlooked it. There has been so little time left that those who have gone into war work or war courses—most of them for no credit—neglect their studies. Students feel that they cannot remain unanswered the call of the Chancellor and other University war workers for student support of all war measures. But the day is only so long;
6:45 o'clock. Get up. Sleepy.
7:40 o'clock. Grab some breakfast.
8 o'clock. Be on Hill for class work
8 to 11 o'clock. Class work.
11 to 12 o'clock. Study a bit.
12 to 12:45 o'clock. Eat, don't talk
out digest .
1 to 2:45 o'clock. Student activities of all kinds.
3 to 4 o'clock. Red Cross work other war work, or laboratory work.
4 to 5 or 6 o'clock. . Compulsory exercise or laboratory work.
6 to 10:30 o'clock. Ready for sup-
per or a peaceful moment .
6:30 to 7 o'clock Supper, thirty minutes for lunch.
10:45 o'clock. Taps. All lights out. Out of a hurried day.
7:30 to 10:30 o'clock. Study. Be sure and concentrate. If there is library work to do, let other lessons so till later. It is the only way.
Things left undone.
That down-town errand. . The necessary amount of recreation. No war work or skimping it, if any done. The unwritten letter home. The research work which you did not do. The clothing you did not mend. The committee meeting that you missed. The half-hour reading of the daily paper to keep in touch with the world. For the working student—still unaccounted for—his five hours of labor with which he is earning his way through the University.
Copernicus and Galileo found out some wonderful things, and their scientific successors found out a few more. But none of them ever found more than twenty-four hours and two normal tides in a day. The K. U. student may do better. And then again he may not.
JUSTIFICATION
The question of wearing military uniforms at the University of Kahsas is now settled. It could not have been settled, however, until proper intelligence concerning army supplies came to the department of physical education here from ordnance officers in Washington. Before this information arrived, while there was still doubt that the fighting forces of the nation had sufficient equipment
to spare any for probationers to the service, the Kansas consistently refused to sanction the adoption of uniforms at the University.
Washington reports that at least 200 students can be supplied with cotton uniforms. Cotton uniforms were insisted upon. The undergraduate will have no hardship to buy them. And to all appearances they are not needed by soldiers. These facts change the whole situation here and, coming as they do, in answer to the pertinent inquires the Kansan repeated again and again in months past, justify the attitude the paper was compelled by circumstances to take. Now that the uniforms can be bad, the Kansan salutes it with a will
HOOVER SAYS TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
In the relief of Belgium, most of the actual work of the commission in the occupied territory was done by young American collegians.
. . . . .
At no time in the world's history has the technically trained mind been at a higher premium.
---
To the younger men, the lower classmen, only beginning their professional training, I say: Keep on with your college work.
To the upper classman, I would say; Hold yourself ready to respond to your country's present need at any moment.
. . . .
To the great army of American college and university graduates, I would say: The country looks to you for justification of the advantages it is now giving you. You are a privileged class.
BASEBALL MORALE
With the appearance of the warm days, the "gang" invaded South Park armed with gloves, bats and balls, and marked off the diamond. The baseball season for 1918 was unofficially begun.
The baseball season is as inevitable as the fact of the "gang" itself. The season is bounded only by weather conditions, not by arbitrary dates on the calendar; it is the rule of young boys.
For the older boys, indoor practice for baseball was started in Robinson Gymnasium at the same time. The University of Kansas will have its baseball team as usual. This fact too, is as inevitable as spring.
The University will play ball, not in spite of the war, but because of it. Athletics in general are all the more necessary because of war. The government urges the colleges not to abandon them, and sets an example by encouraging its army cantonments to engage in it.
The baseball season is coming, and there will be no barriers placed in its path. It is just another of the many things that will help win the war. If the "gang" had been prevented from marking off the little diamond in South Park; if some one should say that the home plate would never be set on McCook Field; if it were all work and no play at Camp Funston, it is not any more likely that the boys would march eagerly off to war.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
The domestic science girls at the University of Oregon are making butterless, eggless, milkless, sugarless doughnuts which are cooked in vegetable fats. The general ingredients of these "Hoover doughnuts" are mashed potatoes and graham four, thickened with syrup.
Plans for the elimination of "cribbing" under consideration for the past three years at Ohio State University have culminated in the publication of a pamphlet describing several measures which might wipe out the evil.
"Saving for Uncle Sam" is to mark the ten days between Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays at the University of Illinois Thrift stamps will be floated among the University members by teams from both the faculty and student bodies.
Alfreshmen at the Ohio State University are required to undergo a thorough physical examination before assigned to training classes in order that defects may be corrected by specially directed training. All new men reporting for the first time absolutely must take the examination.
The war is playing all kinds of sport with the Big Ten basketball teams. Coal shortage and the School of Military Aeronautics have caused the closing of the Wisconsin and Ohio state gymnasiums. They may be forced to play their home games on their rivals' floors.
Oklahoma boys are making good for Uncle Sam. Proof of this was manifested when out of the sixteen men chosen from Camp Bowie to attend the Engineers Reserve Officers Training Camp, five of the men were from the University of Oklahoma.
The thirteenth annual junior prom at the University of Utah held February 8, was turned into a farewell for the University men leaving for the service.
Two days' canvassing at the Ohio State University has netted more than $25,000, which will be turned over to the Columbus War Chest.
Preparations for the biggest Kake Walk in years at Vermont University are being made by the different committees. The stunt outlines, which have been handed in, indicate a variety of theme and suggest an abundance of good material.
Dedication of the new dental building at the University of Iowa, will take place on Washington's birthday. The seventy-first birthday of the University of Iowa will be celebrated February 25. Senator Kenyon may be one of the speakers.
With a decrease of 400 in the college at the Ohio State University, the school of engineering at that institution showed an increase of 633 over the same time last year.
Washburn is to have a college farm run by a competent farmer. This was decided by the trustees at their meeting on "Washburn Day."

If You Were Miles Away From Old K. U. Working
for Uncle Sam; getting ready to whip the Kaiser, and every day was the same: reveille, "squads right," then taps. And sometimes you'd get so blue that your chin touched your shoe tops, then when you were feeling your worst—up before you popped a copy of your old school paper, The DAILY KANSAN—Say, wouldn't it be a "gr-r-r-and glor-yus feelin'?"
Every man and woman on the hill has at least one intimate friend in the service who would be tickled to death to get the Kansan every day. And the sacrifice is small—from now until June, the Kansan will be mailed anywhere for $1.75. Just telephone K. U. 66 or stop at the Business Office, Fraser Hall, or the Daily Kansan Office—any of these places will take your subscription.
