The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news and thereby increasing university varsity holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be funny; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve to the benefit of the university the students of University.
MORE MUSCLE NEEDED
MONDAY, FEB. 11, 1918.
Usually the same spirit which gives a school a reputation for clean and high grade athletics, gives it a reputation for enviable classroom achievement as well. That is why with the approach of spring, the eyes of the University of Kansas are on the men in track suits.
The track athletes this year have been charged with a responsibility they have never known before. Under the stress of war, every activity of the school has been threatened with weakened morale. This is natural, but it is not a hopeless situation.
Vigorous athletics this spring can well put on a bold face, and by defying the enemies of morale, actually strengthen universities activities. Perhaps nothing with a less appeal than good athletics can turn the trick.
The need now is for more interest in spring athletics, especially track. Only two old men are back for the team. Not nearly enough are training for the various events.
The time is approaching fast when the University must show its muscle. If it happens to be soft and flabby, it will be too apart to all that the reflection will be not on "K. U. athletics," but on the University of Kansas.
Semi-military uniforms remind one of camouflage, says Captain Masseck, who spoke at convocation Thursday. To the University students who wear such outfits this will be displeasing. It may result in either wearing regulation uniforms or none at all. The army does not permit half citizens and half army clothes; the military department at the University should have the same ruling. It at least will add dignity to the appearance of students who wear them.
CASTE SYSTEM NECESSARY 19182
Colonel Reeves did not say much of praise about the 535rd All-Kansas regiment of which he is commander, in his talk at convocation last week. University students were disappointed, for they were interested to know how the men in this regiment were treated and what sort of a showing this representative Kansas regiment was making.
He did not say that those 3,000 or more men in his regiment, and not the officers alone, were the making and basis of the success of the unit. Instead he told how the caste system is necessary to make the successful army.
University students have come to believe that the caste system except in Germany has been abolished as detrimental to democracy. It may be necessary to make the best sort of an army, but the comparison made of the caste system between the faculty and the students did not fit with that
of the officer and private. If a student does not obey or like suggestions which a professor makes, he can leave the University. In the army he must remain whether he likes it or not.
In marked contrast to Colonel Reeves view, was the statement of the French officer who said the fraternity between the officer and the soldier in the war was wonderful.
Now we know why the infantrymen are called "dough boys." Capt. J. C. Massick of the 353rd "All Kansas," Infantry says its "because they're always needed."

CAMOUFLAGE
Camouflage is a French species of the genus deception. It is a native of France and flourishes in great numbers these having its habitat among army camps and artillery bases. Owing to the disrupted condition of that country it has migrated to the United States in great numbers of late.
In the latter country camouflage has divided itself into two distinct classes according to its functions. The first class which is rapidly becoming known as "camel fudge" and which seems to be gaining the ascendency in America has for its distinguishing characteristic a tendency to make that which is not, appear that it is. The other class which is the lesser in America but which is still quite profile in France attempts to make that which it, appear as if it were not. This essay is principally concerned with the prevailing type in America "camel fudge."
In form it is not uniform but adopts itself in size, shape and manner of growing to its environment. Sometimes it appears on the upper lip of a boy under twenty-five years old with the intent of making him appear to be a man. On a woman it may take any one of a number of common forms. Usually it appears somewhere about the face and takes the form of powder or rouge.
There is one other variety which reserves mention here. It is known o newspaper men as "space filler." the foregoing lines are a fair sample if this last type of camouflage—Normal Bulletin.

"Your handle's Blink?" grinned the Senior as he assisted the Freshie to rise from his slippery landing place, "I thought so. Ran for class president and fizzled out didn't you? I'm wise to how it goes. I tried it. If you'll take a tip from me, you'll get off that stuff while the ginni's good.
Statistics show that 39 Brown Varsity athletes of last year and this fall have enlisted in the service. Football players lead with a total of 19.
Oregon is to adopt student coaching of baseball for the coming season. The new system resembles the one used at O. A. C. for the past few years. One member of the team will be chosen as coach. The man elected is usually the captain, and since the captain of the Oregon team has not been elected, it is impossible to say who will hold the position.
"If I was in your shoes, I'd mix in only enough activities to give me a chance to get next to folks; I'd talk with the people that have something to say instead of dances, clothes, and good times. Don't you forget that the first and last purpose of this institution is to deal out brain food. That's what you're here for. K. U. isn't meant for a political machine. You'll have time for that when the ink's worn off your diploma."
"It's fine dope to think of being president of the Student's Council, captain of the track team and what not, but the game isn't worth the candle. You might make it, but you'll waste your time, worry your darn-fool head off and lose lost of good sleep.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
"The war has brought about a shortage of draftsman," declares Prof. F. G. Higeen of the college of Law, which is the university of Lown, "which is fairly critical."
As a remedy for this condition, Professor Higbee suggests giving a course in the summer session which would train women for subordinate positions in drafting offices. The salary for such positions would range from $15 per week at the start to $25 per week for persons who have had experience.
Cornell University has been asked by the War Department to open a school for radio engineers. Only men already specializing in electrical work are to be admitted.
Only DePaww students who registered under the draft law last June will receive credit for their semester's work in case they withdraw to enlist. No credit will be given students who volunteer and are not accepted.
According to the Harvard University War Records Office, between five and six thousand graduates and undergraduates are in war service.
Junior men of Indiana University have decided to wear buff corduroy vests for the remainder of the school year and the girls are considering buff puttees as a means of distinguishing juniors from other students.
On account of the failure of the students to support the Daily Nebraskan a plan is on foot to cut down the number of issues to four each week.
Although Harvard is to have only an informal baseball team next spring it has decided to retain the services of Hugh Duffy as coach.
Indiana Juniors Exclusive
"The Kansas men in training at Camp Funston are loyal—right up to snuff in every particular," declared Major J. I. M.Cullen of the United Army army stationed at Camp Funston, in an address before a general Farm and Home week assembly. "They are the best men, taking them as a whole, I have ever seen."
