The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news from Kansas; to provide university holds; to play no favories; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

CHEERING AS AN ASSET
In the basketball games up to date there has been a lack of organized cheering or even a "Rock Chalk" between halves. And unfortunately the Jayhawker cheerleaders have been noticeable for their absence.
This sort of spirit does not win basketball games, and this may explain in part why in each of the critical series with the Kansas Aggies and Missouri, the Kansas five lost one game. It is true that the University team has played loose basketball several times this season. But this is all the more reason why there should be strong rooting to back the playing of the team.
The effect of cheering at a football battle is obvious. What would have beo the result of the Nebraska football game without rooting? Of course, there will never be the same cheering at basketball contests, but better cheering is essential if Kansas is to make good in the remainder of the battles this season.
Every student out at the games, a cheerleader, and organized rooting will work wonders for the team. Let's go Kansas!

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
A reader of the Kansan who signs her communication "B," in starting her communication which is a constructive bit of old information, asks why "the Kansan prints so much destructive criticism?"
The Kansan does not print any more destructive criticism than constructive. Criticism in itself is constructive if of the right sort. Any person in the University may point out inefficiencies in the workings of the University whenever he sees fit, and have this communication printed in the Kansan if there is enough point to the criticism. Criticism in the United States Congress while it may appear to some as destructive, is in reality constructive. The good of such criticism is obvious.
It seems that there is much dissatisfaction among German soldiers at the front because of the indiscriminate awarding of Iron Crosses. Is it possible that the Imperial government is giving them away for other deeds than killing babies or bombing hospitals?
Missouri breweries are to close two days each week and effect a saving of twenty-five per cent in fuel. But it still is a question whether or not these breweries are, under the guise of patriotism, rehearsing for the tragedy of national prohibition.
Most girls that teach, do so as means of filling their hope chests.
Some wear army uniforms because they are in the service and others because they think drill at K. U. makes it necessary.
Generally the snap course in college which has been recommended as such turns out to be the hardest one you have ever enrolled in.
You have seen the grouch who would have been an ideal specimen of American thrift and manhood if he had left off the grouch. After all it is those little contours and acts of politeness that establish a person's place, regardless of his admirable qualities and stability to push ahead in the face of difficulties.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
Because of the slight error, he gave the clerk a sarcastic bawling out. Trivial enough was the whole affair, and yet-He didn't start a pleasant friendship there.
It's the little things that count.
War certainly has introduced a blunt morale. One senior who has sat appreciatively through many a long and tedious classical recital has discovered that he doesn't really like it at all and refuses to deceive himself or any one else any more.
Professors are favoring knitting in their classes. It keeps the students awake.
A holiday is the most easily recognized event in the curriculum of the college student.
It is reported that tennis is becoming popular with Americans in Hawaii. This will be a spark of encouragement to those of us who have believed that the chief Hawaiian pastime was to be dressed in a palm beach and walk arm in arm with a native belle on the sea shore by moonlight.
FREEDOM
The abuse of so-called "academic freedom" is a graver menace than ordinary abuse of free speech. The socialistic or the smearful soap-box does not address a very influential class, but the "intellectual Bolshevik," as President Butler styles the professors who abuse their academic freedom influence the pick of the country's youth, each one of whom is destined to be a force in community life. The utterances of Prof. Scott Nearing, since being dropped from the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania, abundantly justified the summary action taken by the trustees of that institution. Columbia University, too, has had similar trouble with professors who have abused their academic freedom. Two professors had to be dismissed, while two others have resigned out of sympathy with their dismissed colleagues. In his annual report, President Butler points out that a man voluntarily limits his individual freedom of utterance when he connects himself with an institution of learning which has learned for itself certain traditions and which in the minds of the people stands for certain fundamental principles. Speaking as an individual he would gain no hearing, but as a member of the faculty his utterances carry with the weight of the institution that is behind him. "To maintain one's connection with an academic society," says President Butler, "while at war with its purposes or disloyal to its traditions and organizations is neither wise nor just." This nation is now ready to turn over the education of our youth to academic Bolshevik—Leal's.
"Hm-m," said the Senior, taking in the red "F" on the front page. "Say, Kid, let me tell you a few." I nod, and the school staff. "Yee can't the profs school stuff." Yee can't the profs.
Quoth Senior to Frosh
"Your dad may be the high mucky-muck out where you came from and it might' be dangerous to funk you there. But, take it from me, it isn't that way here. Better surprise yourself and study some. The profs are human; the old ducks are for the same things as we are. Get up close enough to 'em to see how they breathe; they won't bite. Treat 'em on the square and they'll do the same by you. But don't forget that they're human enough to know your bluffing game."

Before They Became Professors At K. U.
It has leaked out that some of the professors have had experiences, escapades, or whatever you want to call them. But on further investigation, they are found to be the kind of experiences that look well in print. For instance:
Prof. F. C. Dockery, looks back on the days when he was night police reporter on the Chicago Tribune, and was assigned to a beat in the northwest section of the city, in the heart of the Polish district, as an experience he will not forget. Saturday and Sunday were especially busy, as the Poles made it a rule to take on a big cargo of wet goods the day before. The year just after he had graduated from high school he spent among the cattiemen in the west, when the plains were still "woolly."
Prof. Hannah Oliver, of the department of Latin, remembers the days of Quantrell's raid as her most dramatic experience. Crouched beside the window of her home, at the north end of what is now Indiana Street, fearing every minute that the ruffians would enter the house, she saw men shot down in the street.
H. Shepherd, instructor in psychology, recalls a tense night when he was a boy, during the pioneer days of Oklahoma, nearly twenty-two years ago. The settlers around what is now Custer City had received word during the afternoon that the Cheyenne Indians would attack them shortly after sundown. All the women and children were removed to a hill, while the men patrolled a circle about its base the entire night. This was shortly after the death of Custer, and was the last resistance the Indians ever dared make against the white man.
From a speech by the Lord Mayor of Dublin: "That would be a crying evil, to leave the poor people in the city without milk. It would be a wise thing if the Corporation would take the bull by the horns and deal with the matter."
"And now, children, we come to that important country, Germany, that is governed by a man called the kaiser," said the teacher. "Can anyone tell me what a kaiser is? Yes Willie!"
MENTAL LAPSES
A Buffalo man stopped a newsboy in New York, saying: "See here son, I want to find the Blank National dollar a dollar if you direct me to it."
With a grin the boy replied: "All right, come along," and he led the man to a building a half-black away.

"Sure!" responded the lad. "But you mustn't fergit that bank-directees is paid high in Noo Yawk."-Pittsburg Chronicle.-Telegraph.
The man paid the promised fee, remarking however, "That was a half-horse."
