The Daily Kanaan aims to picture the undergraduate at Kanaan; to go further than merely printing the news in newspapers; to hold the university holds; to play no fancy role to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and generous; to leave more; serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
FACULTY ATTENTION!
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13, 1918.
The faculty drill company apparently has been a success, for those who have come out for it. Actually it is a failure, for too few have come forward and joined. The unfalling efforts of the few have made the unit a permanent fixture at the University.
But if the faculty company is to perform its function as a training unit for staff and higher officers of the University regiment twice the number of men will have to come to its support. If exercise is beneficial to students, surely the faculty can stand a little. The time is small compared to the amount of good will do for military training at the University.
MAKING GOOD OUR BOASTS
The unit should be full to capacity and not sieve-like in appearance. University students often follow the example set by their superiors. Is the faculty setting a good example?
We have said of ourselves that we are the greatest and most modern of nations—and new the war has come to let us make good our boasts. War, of all things, will reveal the American people as they really are and it is revealing them.
The case in point is the thrift stamp campaign. Here is a war finance scheme that calls for the best that is in us. It can only succeed in a great nation; a nation with a social consciousness, and with the fullest knowledge of the value of co-operation; a nation which is at last great enough to throw aside the last vestige of its one time crass individualism.
It is not alone the performance of the biggest tasks that will prove our greatness. The test comes as well in the performance of the seemingly insignificant duties.
Only by co-operation can the thrift stamp campaign be made successful. Its success is based on the response of millions, not thousands.
An unqualified success of the campaign would justify modern America in all her boasts of greatness, but a failure would rob her even of her claim of modernism.
WHICH ARE YOU?
There are two kinds of men in this life. There is the one who goes out and gets things done despite obstacles; and the one who comes back with a fine, perfectly logical reason for not getting the thing done.
THAT EXTRA TWO HOURS
If you talk to the student across the hall until ten o'clock before you begin to study and then have to burn your light until past twelve, of course, it is your own affair.
But is it, after all? You have burned a light perhaps two hours more than was necessary, and used
up some coal that is badly needed to help win the war. You cannot do that and stay in line with Hoover and Garfield.
But what did burning that electric light or lights for two hours, and the infinitesimal amount of coal concerned, matter?
Perhaps not very much, in itself,
but when two thousand students
waste two hours a night for five
nights a week, multiplied by four
weeks in a month and —.
Figure out your own total.

AN EYE TO TRADE
He had been fishing patiently for several hours without a bite when a snake entered.
"Any luck mister?" he called out. "Run away boy, boy," growled the girl. "I'll help you."
"No offense, sir," said the boy, as he walked away, "only I just want to say that my father keeps a fish-shop down to the right, sir."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegram.
"What time does your father generally get home?"
She: "You'll feel his hand in your hair in about ten minutes."—Life.
"Hang it! It's too old entirely for
ctive service."—Life.
An editor received this letter from fresh youth:
A MILITARY BLUNDER
"What is this, wait?"
"War bread, sir."
"Kindly tell me why a girl always close her eyes when a fellow kisses us."
REASON ENOUGH
Mr. Younghusband reached home late for dinner.
"I got caught for speeding on the way home," he explained rather sheepishy. "Have to appear tomaroom and get 'ten dollars or fifteen days."
"If you will send us your photograph we may be able to tell you the reason."—Puck.
To which the editor replied:
Mrs. Younghusband fervently clapped two blistered little hands.
100 VALUABLE TO CHISE

TOO VALUABLE TO CHIDE
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. If you do not sign, the author so states, but the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of his or her work. Communications are welcome.
CAMPUS OPINION
At a time when the University should be doing all it can to promote interest in war courses of all sorts, we find a lamentable lack of provision made for credit in courses that require many hours of tirework. K. U. students have taken up the burden willingly, however, and have enrolled in many courses that give no credit or little if any at all.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why should such conditions exist? They do not exist with such frequency in other universities and colleges of this nation which is at war.
For instance, there is a course in wireless, for which two hours of credit it given. Two hours of class work on Tuesdays and Thursdays are required, this class work taking up two hours of intensive home study daily. Then added on top of this each student to get his two hours of credit must do code work for two hours continuously five days a week. For this he is given credit for compulsory exercise work.
Surely the Senate should devote some of its precious time to consider this condition. The same is virtually the case of many other courses in war work.
Then added to this long period of laboratory work, the student to progress, must study his code and new phases of laboratory work from two to three hours outside of class. The result is that three and five-hour courses suffer if full attention is given to this work. Is this fair to the student who is trying to prepare to serve his country? Is it a reasonable plan of giving credit to require a student twelve hours of class work weekly, besides at least nine hours of outside work?
ON OTHER "HILLS"
J. R.
Six unfilled calls have come into the department of journalism from dailies and weeklies of the state for students to fill vacant positions.
Four of the six stated that women were preferred, which preference would not have existed a few years ago. There is now a considerable demand for young women in country weekdays to get out the paper, with the exception perhaps of the editorials and the ads, and so free the editor for outside work in his community.
Two of the six positions were on
dailies, four on weeklies, and the pay
was from $15 to $30 a week.—University
of Washington Daily.
Students at Colorado College will be refunded part of their tuition if they join the colors or are drafted. Full credit probably will be given for the year's work.
An exhibition of "Made in the United States" pottery is on display in Room 207 of the Home Economics building this week. There are many beautiful pieces of pottery which the Home Economics department has obtained from the General Federation of Women's Clubs.-Iowa State Student.
Prof. F, H. Hodder, head of the de-Science, has been selected to deliver the lectures which are to be given at Camp Funston as a result of the educational campaign planned by the Far Work Council of the Y. M. C. A.
Lectures concerning the war will be given simultaneously at the six big cantonments during the months of February and March both in the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus huts. The lectures are given, it is said, because many soldiers do not know the true reason for the war or understand why America entered the conflict.
Hodder Will Lecture
At Camp Funston Y. M.
A photograph of Prof. Arthur Nevin appeared recently in Leslie's weekly, along with those of many of the foremost musicians, singers, and actors in the country who are doing beneficial war work in various lines. Professor Nevin, of the School of Fine Arts, who is on a leave of absence from the Army, played the chorus and music at Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. Every member of Professor Nevin's family is serving Uncle Sam in some capacity.
