The Daily Kansan aims to picture the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news on paper; to have versatility holds; 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 the students of the University.
SENATE RIGHT THIS TIME
The University Senate is to be commended for its standing in voting down the suggestion of the department of physical education for compulsory wearing of uniforms for all students in military drill. The vote shows that the Senate thought of the welfare of the nation's fighting forces.
With a fuel crisis on hand and the military authorities crying for uniforms, guns, and munitions of war, it would be a very foolish thing for the University to go on record as in favor of even cotton khaki uniforms. Perhaps, the cotton cloth is not being used by the regulars of our army, but by creating a demand for even cotton uniforms, the University would be causing the firms which manufacture army uniforms, to turn aside from army orders so that they might meet the demand for cotton uniforms in Lawrence.
Of course, this would only be a small part of the whole number of uniforms turned out by any one firm, but when the national guardsmen who are getting ready to go to France, still lack their first uniform, surely it is no time for universities with unrecognized military courses to make every student get a uniform.
Some advocates of the uniforms here say that they are necessary if the military work is best to be carried out. This may be true, but the need at the present and for-probably the next two years is for uniforms for men who are actually in the service.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
The little things count.
BE A BABY BOND HOLDER
The next time you start to a movie with an aftermath of eclair or sundae attached, just spare your physical and mental digestion. Pass them by, and go on down to the bank or post-office and invest that escaped twenty five cents in a Thrift Stamp.
Did you ever see a Thrift Stamp? They are small green things. When you buy one, a stamp book is given you, which has spaces in it for sixteen stamps. Take your own time about filling your book—whenever you have a spare quarter. When the book is full, return it, add thirteen cents, accept your Baby Bond, and you have become a government bond holder. By 1923 your bond will cash in for five dollars.
Rather a small investment? But if everyone in the United States could buy a Liberty Bond, the Baby Bond would have no justification for existence. But when a million Baby Bonds are sold it means no patry sum, five million dollars.
Start your stamp book now. Be a bond holder.
WE'RE FOR IT
Two disastrous fires within a week, and both due to an inadequate water supply, is a situation sufficiently acute to warrant instant action on the part of the city. A third fire resulting as these have will be inexcusable.
Since the burning of the Banker and Dunakin homes, sentiment on Mt. Oread for better fire protection has been openly and widely expressed, and better protection should be shared by University students along with the permanent residents of Lawrence.
There are ways of preventing hydrants from freezing that should be taken immediately, and they probably will be, now that the danger from neglect has become apparent.
Recipe For German Kultur
Take a bit of Turkey and roll it in crumbled cathedrals. When this is sizzling well, add a lot of wild oats, drop in large quantities of poached property and scramble retreats. Break an cath in it and stir with cold steel. Add enough blood to give the proper thickness, turn on the gas and heat the whole red-hot with liquid fire. When it is done, garnish with cracked hearts and drop bombs on, and you have a dish fit for William and other Hungary people.—Harrard Lampoon.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Daily Kansan;
Recently war bulletin boards were put up at various places on the campus and in the buildings at a rather heavy expense. These boards have been covered and recovered by various posters and other war information, but I have not seen fifteen people reading the boards.
There are several reasons for this. One is that the boards are placed so that the reader is entirely outside (as at Spooner Library), or is in a continuous draft caused by the opening and closing of the doors. Another reason for the practical neglect of the boards is that the reader has to stand when reading the mass of information placed there.
Why does not the University provide an alcove where war pamphlets, war books, and all pertaining to the war can be had? We have alcoves for French, German, history, and English, but there is not one place where the student can go and find war material. Moreover, the students in history, economics, and sociology have assignments for this reading. Are they supposed to walk from one board in Spooner to the one in another building? Why does not the Separate provide a war reading room? Let's have action.

RedCross News FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
A call from France to juniors has come for a large quantity of refugee garments. It is thought that these simple garments can be supplied by the younger generation, within the three months, leaving the women to knit and make bandages as usual.
Word comes from headquarters that there has been a steady improvement in the quality of knitting. A steady increase in quantity is now desirable.
An interesting opportunity for the young women of the universities, who wish to take up volunteer war work may be found in the course in Invalid Occupations which is being held at the School of Civics and Philanthropy, under the direction of the Chicago Red Cross chapter, in Chicago.
There is a type of man whose internal philosophy of life is constant rebellion. You can generally recognize
him by the wrinkles and the disappointed expression. Whatever it is, he is against it. He is consistent though for it he is against himself as well as everything else. Now that the time is ripe, he is putting his life principle against the Red Cross and helping men and women are laving time and money in the home way of fighting.
So now he has begun spreading stories. “There’s a hot o’ them officia
"She probably thinks it would be romantic to be a Red Cross nurse. That's all slush," is another.
"Oh that Red Cross makes me cross," is another.
Furthermore, the Lawrence Red Cross Chapter, according to Miss Margaret Perkins, chairman of women's work, will furnish yarn to University women for soldier knitting. Red Cross sweaters and helmets are sent directly over there.
The women in England have donned masculine attire and are doing the men's work, helping in this way to win the war. The Honorable Smith said that the American women could be assured the English sisters would care for our wounded soldiers in their hospitals.
O. K. Davis, a newspaper correspondent who has represented New York and Philadelphia journals for years in the Far East has volunteered to direct the Foreign Division Publicity of the Red Cross.
Your Daily Quiz On University History
(Answer it—and grade yourself)
Question: What was the origin of the University museum?
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Answer: Chancellor Snow, and L. L. Dyche, professor of zoology, both zoological enthusiasts began and built up the collection of specimens. The legislature granted an appropriation of $75,000, for the present building, which was completed in 1902. Among school museums the University museum ranks first in the collection of North American animals and fourth among all American museums.
Dance To Keep Warm
The girls in the dormitories of the University of Ohio, when the supply of coal ran out last week, resorted to dancing as a means of keeping warm until the fuel difficulties should be alleviated.
The University of Illinois has at present more than 2,000 men in the national service, about 200 of whom are at the front. Major General J. Ruckman, commander of the Southern Department, is a graduate of the University of Illinois.
Eighteen colleges in four eastern states have dropped athletics because of the war, according to returns from a questionnaire distributed by Prof. Frederick B. Well, of the college of the City of New York. The colleges are in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Announcement was recently made of the service flag which was being made to hang in Central building. This flag is now completed with the exception of the necessary addition of more stars for names which have come in since the flag was first planned. At the present time the flag has 800 stars on its white field and the additions will place marks to represent over 990 men before the work is completed ready to hang—Iowa State Student.
