The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in how to go further than merely printing the news or displaying its values holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to courterness; to leave more serious matters to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university of quality the students of the University.
SIX DAY WEEK FOR LAWS
THURSDAY, FEB. 7, 1918.
The probable adoption of the six-day week plan by the School of Law yesterday brings up the question if such a plan is feasible and necessary in other schools at the University. Some members of the University Senate were opposed to allowing the faculty to adopt the plan because it would stir_up unrest and dissatisfaction in the other schools where the working of such a plan is not possible and cannot be installed under present conditions. Two weeks ago it might have been possible but not now.
Two weeks ago it would have been possible to re-arrange schedules to fit the six-day plan in the College if the Senate had thought such action advisable. But now the making over of classes would result in endless confusion. After-thought action is weak, as was plainly shown by the new compulsory exercise plan when installed last semester after the year's work had started.
But if possible to install, the faculty has opposed it in the college and other schools simply because it would have to work under a widely different plan from that of the School of Law. In the School of Law the case system is used and much of the work is lecture. Saturday under the old system was practically a day wasted. But in the College and School of Engineering it is different. Long laboraory experiments, lengthly library readings, and laboratory work on Saturdays, and often on Sundays in these schools would mean that the student would be certain to slight some work. The chance of not passing in some work would be too threatening.
Whether students would go back on the farm and work should be considered as a big point. If students do not do this, the reasonableness of the new plan is doubtful. In the School of Law, where a large number of the sixty students involved, expect to be drafted soon, the change can be easily managed. Two-hour courses will run two-fifths of the remaining months, while the three-hour classes will run three-fifths of the time. With laboratory classes this would not be possible.
If a student is actually needed on the farm, as some claim they are, it is probable that arrangements could be made as last year to allow them to go home and serve on the farm, starting in May. But to the faculty of the College, the wholesale dismissal of classes in May to accommodate a few, seems foolish when the disarrangement of the workings of the University is carefully considered.
SENIORS REWARDED AT LAST
After listening impassively to years of arguments for the abolition of senior examinations in the last semester of work at the University
of Kansas, the Senate has suddenly taken a decisive stand in the matter and accomplished in a few minutes what time past could not solve. At its last meeting the Senate provided that all seniors with a grade of "B" or above will not have to take any final examination.
The seniors are surprised. The war has brought many surprises, but few as good as this one, which after all, is essentially a war measure. The moving of commencement up to Monday necessitated the turning in of all grades by the previous Thursday night. This meant that many examinations would have to be held during the week before the usual examination period. It was to meet this exigency that the Senate took action.
The old order changeth. It is not fair to say that it was time, for the Senate of the University knew the hour and did promptly all that it required.
The Germans claim that their submarine production is more than one a day. It will be a long time however, before they can hope to catch up with Henry J. Ford.
A gentleman holds the door open; the other man pushes his way out first.
ANOTHER ASPECT OF IT
A letter has been received from Miss Elizabeth Sprague formerly professor of home economics at the University, now doing war work in food conservation in Washington, explaining what intelligent food conservation really means in the war.
She says that men at the front are suffering by the hundreds from tuberculosis. Their recovery is conditioned by proper care, and particularly by nourishing food. Since food supplies in Europe are extremely low, the food sent from this country will literally save the lives of these men. If we save the food they need and send it across, we are saving lives and winning the war. It is most imperative, says Miss Sprague, that we use intelligent effort toward conservation.
At present there are thirty-four members in the class in Food Conservation here. Is the University of Kansas saving lives and winning the war, or is it a large-sized slacker?
A fraternity pledge is recognized by his constant reference to "the house."
This is just the type of person who has not realized the idea back of the sale of these stamps. Obviously, the secret of success of this sale is in the number sold. The great population of this country is the only thing that has made the scheme feasible. If our population had not grown since 1812, it is not likely that such a plan would have been launched.
MAKING IT UNANIMOUS
It is not hard to find a person who has not bought a thrift stamp because he thinks the aid given would be inconsequential.
This is a modern war; it is being fought by a modern nation, and it must be paid for by modern methods of finance.
But we are dealing with America of 1918. Under present conditions a twenty-five cent investment by Tom Jones will not go far, it is true, but an equal amount invested by the majority of our hundred million people will go far. It does not take a university student to figure to a penny just how far.
The degree of success which the thrift stamp campaign meets will not only measure our patriotism but also it will measure definitely the extent of participation by Americans. The time is now here for every student in the University of Kansas to help make it unanimous.

ON OTHER "HILLS"
Plans are being made at Nebraska for the eighth annual University Night.
The University of Nebraska is receiving many calls for teachers which it is unable to fill.
The Normal School at Warensburg, Missouri, will save coal by heating the gymnasium only half of the day for an indefinite period.
By an overwhelming vote, the women of the Colorado College have decided to give the time left on their hands by the period provided in the schedule for military training to the Red Cross.
More than three hundred students have enrolled to take the course for the training of volunteer social workers, which is being given at the Hotel Blitmore by the Department of Extension Teaching of the University in co-operation with the Committee of Women on National Defense. The various relief societies of this city are looking forward to the ten who may be called upon for active work. If there is sufficient demand there is a possibility that the course may be repeated—Columbia Spectator.
T terrible revenge awaits the Bears tonight when the clawed-up Longhorn turn on his foe and goes him. The Bears probably have swelled heads as a result of their victory over the Longhorns, but the victory was so slight that it cannot be easily repeated on the fresh and well-doored team which will meet the Baylorites tonight in the men's gym.

"BE SATISFIED"
My doctrine is to lay aside
Contentions and be satisfied;
Jest do your best and praise or blame,
That follors that counts all the same.
I've alus noticed great success
Is mixed with troubles more or less.
And it's the man who does the best
That gits more kicks than all the rest.
James Whitcomb Riley.
PROUD OF HIS MODESTY
MENTAL LAPSES
One of our able senators was arguing on a momentous naval question with an opponent.
"You know I never boast," the opponent remarked during the argu-
"Never boast? Bully!" exclaimed the Senator. Then, in a more reflective mood he added, "No wonder you brag about it."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Fern Top Lady, Latest Arrival At Young's
First Stude—"I'm selling some of my themes to a company in K. C."
First Stude." "Yes, a waste paper company."
This one dog was shown at an exhibition only once, then in 1916, at the Philadelphia shows. "Fern Top Lady" took first prize as novice and first prize in the puppy class at that time.
One dog died on the road. "Fern Top Lady" is one of the best female dogs in this country, being worth nearly $400, according to Mr. Young. Before the war she would have been worth twice as much.
Eight niredale dogs have been purchased by C. C. Young, director of the K. U. water laboratories, from the Wollaton Kennels, Coatville, Pennsylvania. The owner of the kennels, R. H. Kerns, sold the dogs because he has gone into the army service. This makes twenty-four dogs which Mr. Young has at his kennels at Nineteenth and Massachusetts street.
