The Daily Kansan aims to picture the life of the students of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news and teaching the news; to hold gifts; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to help others; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the people of Kansas; to the students of the University.

A REAL WAR
The first big loss of the war since this country entered the conflict has sent its shock to the University of Kansas. Coming at a time when it appeared that the Hun submarine menace was controlled, it was doubly felt. It does not seem remarkable that such a thing could occur, for more than 200,000 Americans and many Canadians have crossed the waters for service in France. They were transferred safely. It was a British ship under British convoy which allowed the U-boat to slip in and do the damage, reports say.
But many of us will say it was the fortune of war and that it points the way to more and larger losses in the future. But with convvoys such assistents should be reduced to a minimum.
The college student who "waits tables" to pay his way through university, usually has others to wait on him when he gets out of school.
The result of this big loss will be shown in the increased activity in Red Cross work, food conservation thrift purchases, fuel and heat saving, and in a general more active interest in the war. The students of the University will take more seriously the doing of the little things that the war authorities at Washington have asked of this nation. It calls to mind that this war is a real war and not a bad nightmare as it seemed before the United States go into the fight.
If there was a University of Kansas man on board—and there is every likelihood that there was—it will bring home all the more vividly the reality of war.
LESS IDLE CRITICISM!
"I didn't get a thing out of that course, absolutely not a thing." "It's a snapp"
"It's a snap."
"Don't get Professor Blank, he will bore you to tears!"
"You will 'get by' all right if he likes you, but if he doesn't-"
"That course is not worth wasting time on."
It is easy to criticize, isn't it?
There is an old axiom, apropos of the law of compensation, which says something about one getting just as much out of a thing as one puts into it.
How can a student know how much labor an instructor has put into the building up of a course, or how according to his experience and viewpoint he is following the dictates of his conscience in dealing with his students? What does the student base his thoughtless criticism on? Unquestionably, this sort of student sentiment does much harm. It destroys a very precious commodity, faith and respect for the faculty as a whole.
Perhaps there are as few faculty members who court flattery, who play favorites, who are guilty of malicious and spiteful actions, or who have so much faith in human nature that their courses are snaps. But these are few, and exceptions to the rule. In the majority of the cases where friction or dissatisfaction arises it is the fault of the student.
Plant a spring crop of more honest effort and less idle criticism.
Our one big ambition is to so arrange that, when the alarm clock of the ambitious hypocrite across the hall launches on its fifth intermittent bombardment, he will be aroused by the deluge of a brim-full bucket of ice water.
The girl who tries to attract attention by speaking only to select friends, generally does.
The eastern drummer says he wants to get back to the United States after spending a week of winter in Kansas.
A woman with red hair should wear purple headgear.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Dr. French, of John Hopkins, has announced the discovery of a hitherto unknown poem by Poe. It is dated 1833 and is entitled, "The Serenade."
On account of war, the registration of Harvard University has been reduced to 1,972. This means a decrease n income of about $300,000.
A cougar, measuring seven feet from the nose to the tip of the tail and weighing 220 pounds, has been received at the University of Washington.
The workings of the quarterly system of school and war conditions at the University of Washington are both blamed for the slump in enrollment at that school.
The question of whether final examinations are "to be or not to be" hereafter is receiving considerable attention at Ithaca at present, the Cornell Daily Sun having committed itself as being strongly in favor of their abolition. Communications from faculty members are making good "copy" for the paper now.
Made In the Philippines
A made in the-Philippines banquet will close the annual journalism week at the University of Missouri. Everything used at this banquet will be products of the islands.
In the Philippines
The seniors at New Hampshire made "economy" the keynote of their annual ball last week. The affair was informal and simple in decoration.
Although many college and university glee clubs came to financial grief on their Christmas concert tours, Student Life at Washington University reports that the musical club had the most profitable and enjoyable trip on record there during vacation.
Word has been received from Washington that 700 student aviators will arrive soon at the School of Military Aeronautics at Austin, all having been transferred from the school at Atlanta, Ga., which has been converted into a school for supply officers. The transfer means that the capacity of the S. M. A. at Austin must be practically doubled.
Purdue Loses First Man Purdue claims that the first American soldier wounded in France was a Purdue student.
The Outing Club's offer to teach all aspirants how to ski brought forty-seven students out last week. A short trip was taken to acquaint the new men with the principle of the sport.
Seventeen captivating co-eds will conduct a sales campaign for the 1919 Gopher a week from next Tuesday. Twenty-five stations on the campus will dispense the coupons—for a consideration—which will entitle the holder to receive a copy of the book in May. Each of the seventeen co-captains a team which will compete with the others for the honor of recognition in the Gopher as the "best sellers."
A card party is to be given Feb. 9, by the women of the University of Illinois. The proceeds of the party will go to the war relief fund.
POET'S CORNER
priarice
Touching each living thing.
It's the day of seedtime's promise
Of courage in men instilled;
It's in prophecy of harvest
The hope of man fulfilled.
The earth is answering sunshine With the watery smell of spring; Soft wind comes sweet from the
MENTAL LAPSES
AN ODE TO SPRING
By A. Poet.
TELLING HIM
He was one of those young men who never seem to know when to go home. She had tried yawning, but even that failed to get rid of him.
Presently a clock outside in the hall began to strike in low, deep tones the midnight hour.
"Oh, I say, Miss Green," said the late stayer, brightly, "is that an eight day clock?"
"You scientific fellers know a heap, I s'pose; but I'll bet you can't tell me how to save that big pile of perla-tion from the farmer. The rott's into 'em."
Miss Green smiled coldly at him. "Well," she said, stifling another yawn, "why don't you stay a little closer and find out."—Philadelphia Ledger.
ADVANCE SCIENCE
"I haven't paid a penny for repairs on my machine in all the ten months I've had it!" said the motorist.
"No, is ain't. I'll feed the pigs on 'em, and then eat the pigs."—Country Gentleman.
"N-o. They are past saving," observed the scientist.
"They are, eh? Well, I'm goin' to eat them portaters." I am, "I'm goin' to eat them portatives."
"So the man who repaired it told me!" said a friend in corroboration.
—Country Gentleman.
"You don't have to pay nothing for lightning," answered Maxie—Chicago News.
"Maxie," queried the teacher of the juvenile class, "What is the difference between electricity and lightning?"
REFUSED TO BE CRITICIZED
Governess: Darohy, won't you give
your little brother part of your ap-
partment?
Little Dorothy: No. Eve did that and has been criticized ever since.—Judge.
"Truly, am I the first girl you even kissed?"
"You are my darling, and it makes me happy to hear you say I am the first man who ever kissed you."
EXPERTS?
"If I am the first, how does it happen that you do it so expertly?"
"And if I am the first how do you know whether I do it expertly or not?" Country Gentleman.
"I thought he had been longer than," said the Caller.
"He has," said the Boss. "He has been here for four months."—Milwaukee Sentinel.
"About four hours," replied the Boss.
How long has that clerk worked for you?" asked the Caller.
HIS WORKING SCHEDULE
First German Official: What makes you think Herr Pumpernickel has been smuggled in food?
Rastus: Well, jedge, if I'd been carrying a license numbah it would hab stued to a thousand pieces—Dallas News.
Judge: Where did the automobile hit you?
Hub: I have hopes of one. She asked time to look up my standing in Bradstreet.—Transcript.
Wife: Did you find a cook?
Second German Official: He weighs only twenty pounds less than he did at the beginning of the war. Life.
The Quartermaster (to a new arrival): Now my lad, what do you want?
The New Arrival: I hear you keep shirts. Will you show me some please?—Sketch.
Her Husband: Well, not to mention my graceful manner of scratching matches, I'd like to see you hang all your clothes on one small nail in the closet.—N. Y. Globe.
Mrs. Pester: If there's anything you can do that I can't do quite as well I'd like to have you name it.
She: "It may be, but it hasn't come yet."
Senior: "Don't you think my moustache becoming?"

BEVO—a proven, whirlwind success—has been followed by a host of imitations. They are offered in similar shape and color labels and names suggestive of the BEVO bottle's embellishments.
Beware of these various just-as-goods--don't try to identify BEVO by the shape of the bottle alone.
But you don't taste the package - it is the contents you must depend upon for enjoyment.
Look!!
Look for the Seal.
See that it is unbroken; covers the Crown Top and that the Crown Top Bottom.
Be sure the Bottle handle this label.
Certain identification marks protect you against the spurious—not only the imitations of the product, remember, but attempted resources. Some products contain special markings in bottles similar to that of the new success. Look for these unattainable marks of fraud—slave the box, opened before you; then,
