Published in the afternoon five times a week, students of the University or Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news from Kansas, to go further versatility holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be charismatic; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to serve the students of the University.

FAREWELL TO NORTH COLLEGE
Wreckers will soon begin tearing down the old North College building. The building was condemned and vacated last winter, and since the recent expressions of strong student sentiment is to be salvaged.
Many people think that it would be only fitting that there be some sort of ceremony at the removal of the cornerstone of the building which was put up more than fifty years ago to house the infant University.
The faithful service of more than a half century merits more attention than a passing thought stirred up by the clamor of sacredlious hammers. There are those in Lawrence who love the old building because of the hallowed memories of fifty years which cluster about it. White haired sons and daughters of the days when North College was in itself Alma Mater would come many miles to witness such a ceremony.
We should for memory's sake, still our busy activities for a few hours time, in saying a farewell to K. U.'s first home.
COVER YOUR SNEEZES
The precautions of the University health service to prevent the spread of contagious diseases among the students will do much for the general health, but these measures should be augmented by individual co-operation of the students. At present when colds are likely to be the beginning of a case of measles, the most that can be done towards the protection of the larger group is for the patient to report immediately at the Dispensary for medical aid and advice. The least that he can do is to cover up his coughs and sneezes.
ARE YOU PREPARED?
Rumors are being whispered about that extensive preparations are being secretly made for a rigorous moral and intellectual attack upon the students of this University. It is believed that the first intimations to reach the students will be in the form of a vicious raid, with showers of shrapnel, and gas blasts in about a week.
There is reason to believe that the enemy are reconnoitering even now; that they have already laid a network of mines, and when the battle begins, that student lines will be shelled with uninterrupted fire for a week. By that time it is expected that student morale will be utterly demolished.
One thing is certain. Unless in this one remaining week extensive preparations are made our student forces will be utterly unable to make a duel out of the encounter, and the battle will terminate in an inglorious massacre.
But, with the drilling and training that has been going on all semester the result of the encounter depends very largely on what is accomplished on the home stretch. Faithful, prolonged, and consistent effort properly directed, will go a long way toward bracing up work that started well, but has been sagging lately; toward strengthening that "only fair" work which is likely to drop in the final.
In view of the student's double burden of vaccination and quization even our old arch-enemy, Mr. Twenty Below Zero, has "had a heart," and departed.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
It happened at the club. There was plenty in the dish to go around, but he got the first chance at it and took a good deal more than his share. As a result, the last fellow didn't get any.
It's the little things that count.
AFTER FOUR YEARS
(Editor's note—This is the first of a series of articles of senior to freshmen, telling them the mistakes they have made and ones that the freshmen should avoid making.)
Now that I see my last year in the University approaching, I feel much inclined to look back at what I have or have not done, during these three years and a half. I see many mistakes I have made, and I feel, as I suppose nearly all seniors do, that if I could only start in again I would do differently. I only wish I could have known when I was a freshman some of the things that I have learned since.
First, I would plan out a schedule of my time every term. Within a week or two after enrolling, one knows about how much time is ordinarily required to prepare each lesson. I would plan out every day, setting aside a certain definite time for each subject. I find this a big safeguard against wasting minutes. At any rate it is certainly worth while to have a plan even if it cannot always be carried out.
This, too, would help what is. I consider a big mistake—that of staying up late at night to study. I know from experience how much good I get out of a class period if I have only slept a few hours the night before.
I have found, too, I can learn about twice as much in the same amount of time in class as I can in studying outside, provided I give close attention to what is being said in class. Everybody knows that with fifteen hours of work and too many outside interests, there is time enough to prepare one's lessons if the time is wiselent.
It is easy to preach and not do the things you talk about yourself. However, I do know, I, as a senior, plan out each day's work more carefully than in my freshman year, and I usually sleep my eight hours every night, lessons or no lessons. I think it pays, for when I graduate, I want to be physically as strong as it is possible to be.

Your Daily Quiz On University History
Answer: Chancellor Strong initiated the summer session in 1903, when the session began commencement week and ended July 22. The motive for putting in a summer session was to make the University useful as possible to meet the demand of the state, so could not otherwise come; teachers, school principles and superintendents, and students preparing to enter the University.
(Answer it—and grade yourself)
Question: Has there always bee a summer session at the University
Regular students might also be enabled to correct irregularities in standing.
Graduate students, and persons not intrusted in obtaining credit, but desiring to hear lectures and take general courses are also accommodated.
The class of 1919 T. C., at its first meeting of the year, had to face the disappointment of a postponed Junior prom. The class had already voted February 15th as a suitable date, the notice was duly posted and the girls had even started to make out their dance programs, when it came to the attention of the Welfare Committee that this date fell within Lent so would have to be cancelled. After carefully scanning the college calendar of students activities, Miss Clare Leonard, the president discovered that April 12th was the first available date and this was accepted by the class—Columbia Spectator.
Editor's note: We call attention to this as word of warning of what Kan san cubs should not do.
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Girls at the University of Illinois are wearing khaki-colored, military-beltoe, and brass-buttoned suits. Khaki hats are a part of the costume.
Statistics recently compiled show that nearly half of the students of New England have taken up some kind of war service.
A student of DePawu University has devised the novel plan of buying and selling dogs to pay his college expenses.
No sweets except chewing gum will be used by the girls of California University until the war is over, according to a pledge signed by a majority of them.
The first American soldier wounded in France was a Purdue student, according to the exponent of that university. His name is Aubrey McLeod. He lost both his legs in an air raid and is now on his way home.
The University of Illinois will shortly unfurl its service flag. It is to be 20x30 feet, and center will be marked with the number of men in the service. The pole from which it hung will have the exact list of men posted upon it.
On account of the failure of the students to support the Daily Nebraska a plan is on foot to cut down the number of issues to four each week.
The student council and the Community Affairs Committee of the Reed College at Portland, Oregon, lay before the faculty the following plan: "A committee consisting of five members be instituted for the purpose of taking full charge of any and all cases of student offenses against the honor principle." The committee is to consist of members of the student body and faculty members.

"Come out to our place to dinner tonight," said the banker.
Oh, that reminds me. I've a very important engagement for tonight.
Sorry, old man, but I can't come."
"I'll be glad to," said his friend. "Our girl, said the banker, "is too much."
“Oh, I'll cut that engagement and come anyway.” - Youth's Companion

"How do you mean?"
"Some of the lines are so deep."—Boston Transistor.
