Published in the afternoon five times
of Kasha, from the press of the Tue-
day newspaper.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of students to go further than merely printing the news on paper, but also to hold valuable垂吊s to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be a leader; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads. In all, to serve to the betterment of the students of the University.

ATHLETIC PACIFISM
The tendency to professionalize and commercialize college athletics is leading straight to a crisis which will result in a shake-up and a consequent broadening of sports in our schools in the opinion of the Boston Herald.
This broadening process is described as meaning the possible abolition of football, and the taking of all athletics out of the class of the so-called "commercialized sports." The ultimate object would be to substitute or modify the remnants in favor of games which do not require coaches, special dieting and other adjuncts of professional athletics.
The Boston Herald is preaching a dangerous athletic pacifism, but there is consolation in the fact that it is predicting something which, of course, is not going to happen. The championship system "of athletes which it decries, is not only the lifeblood of the game, but the natural outcome of the play instinct.
After removing the opportunity for athletes to make teams and win games, the Boston Herald will have to find a way to make the whole system of physical education in this country seem something other than systematized drudgery.
LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
You are hurrying across the campus with your weather eye on passing cars and your mind on a term theme, when you suddenly become conscious that something is wrong. You have passed an old friend without recognition. You were not on the job, and when your chance came you fumbled. Your friend's game for the day is queered.
FOR A NATIONAL COUNCIL?
The proposal of President MacCracken of Lafayette College for the appointment of a Federal Administrator of Education, and the organization of a war council at Washington to represent the colleges, is too full of common sense not to find favor with the government as well as the educational institutions. The colleges and universities of the United States should have a definite contribution to make in the prosecution of the war, and in the interests of this contribution the co-ordination is as necessary as it is in the War Department.
A national council could do much to enlarge the university's opportunity for service. Such a council, together with the Federal Administrator would constitute a central body to which the various government departments could present their educational needs. Perhaps under no other form of organization could the educational resources of the country be so pooled or coordinated as to give the government the maximum service.
The experience of the last six months has shown a woeful lack of co-operation. The war work of the
University of Kansas is no doubt greatly appreciated and it the best that it knows how to do by itself, but who will say that under a program of a national council, the value of K. U's effort would not be doubled or treabled?
Co-ordination always is the second step to be taken. Unity of spirit and purpose is the first essential. As American educational institutions have this in abundance it is a foregone conclusion that somehow, the best that they have will be forthcoming.
The novelty of having no dances down-town except on Saturday night, and then only till 9:30 o'clock during the remainder of this month was well timed by E. H. S. Bailey, county fuel administrator, for practically all of the remaining time during this month will be spent by University students in studying for final examinations. While the orders may seem a bit drastic at first glance, undoubtedly Professor Bailey, who is a chemistry instructor here at K. U., felt that it was necessary in view of the fuel crisis.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Daily Kansan:
In the constitution of the United States we find that no state shall pass any expost facto law. It is only in accordance with law and justice that this should be inserted in the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. If it had not been a worthy cause it would have long since become obsolete.
Yet after it has been proven that an exposet factor is an evil which will unset justice, demoralize and dissatisfy the community which it affects, the University of Kansas has seen fit, or has been misled into passing an exposet law requiring every student to take a certain amount of physical exercise.
The law was passed and went into effect after the institution's course of study had been published and distributed throughout the state. Students came here in September and enrolled in their classes, according to the printed catalogue, understanding that it was a complete compilation of the work required. Then the Senate passed its ruling imposing five hours of extra work on all the students.
Does this give the students of the University a square deal? The ruling was called absolute and a penalty was attached for its violation. The penalty proved worthless and the ruling was dismissed because the Senate has backed up unjust principle with a more serious threat. Will it have any effect?
A member of the Senate who was one of the committee of three to draw up the original law was heard to say something to the effect that perhaps that they had gone a trifle too far but now that they were into it they intended to see it through.
This would lead one to think that the Senate was carrying out its rule to some extent at least because it hated to admit that it had made a mistake. "If mistakes were not made there would be no need for pencils with rubbers on one end." Has the rubber been lost from the Senate's penil?

Your Daily Quiz On University History
Question: In case of an aerial bomb raid by German oversea forces is there any place of absolute safety for University people?
On University theory
(Answer it—and grade yourself)
Answer: Yes, the whole University contingent would be perfectly safe in the Mt. Oread tunnel. Allowing two feet for each person, there is ample space for four persons to stand abreast in the tunnel for nearly three thousand feet. At present the tunnel is occupied only with pipe lines carrying steam to heat the buildings. Outer evidences of this retreat are confined to sundry peepholes around the car line. These, when open breathe forth a dank, sooye atmosphere calculated to discourage all mortals in clean clothes.
THE REAL CRITICS
Veteran: Well, he attracted the attention of the general, and made quite a hit with the colonel, and he is very popular with his captain—but he is finding it awfully hard to please the sergeant and the corporal—London Opinion.
Neighbor: How is your boy getting along in the army?
ON OTHER "HILLS"
Ohio Summer School Plans
Three special terms of summer school work are being arranged by the administration of Ohio University, for the coming summer. A special term beginning on April 29, will be given without any changes for registration.
Ohio Summer School Plans
Athletes will no longer be exempted from military training at Pennsylvania University. This ruling has been adopted in consideration of the 60 per cent increase in football profits that formerly helped support minor sports, which may now be discontinued.
Minnesota University students in the service will receive medals, as a token of their patriotism, from the faculty and present student body, following the custom of 1898, when medals were sent to Minnesota men in the Spanish-American war.
Washington University has raised its new service flag upon the north tower. An impressive ceremony was made of the event. On the south tower floats the stars and stripes.
Students at the University of Wisconsin have a melting pot into which they put all old bits of jewelry and craps of gold and silver. The contents are to be sold for the benefit of French orphans.
Men at the Colorado University are going to turn "lumber-jacks" by chopping wood from the government land near the University camp to sell. They are doing this to save the coal supply.
RedCrossNews
FROM THE ARMY IN WHICH ALL OF US ARE ENLISTED
The nursing requirements have been modified so that applicants of smaller schools may be considered and the age limit is now 21 to 45 years. Red Cross nurses receive $50 per month in the U. S. and $60 elsewhere.
Knitters are asked to include more helmets in their output. The demand for other knitted garments has not diminished, however.
Trench caps are not wanted by the Red Cross.
It has been suggested that if the remainder of the people on the Hill do not put on Red Cross buttons pretty soon, a campaign for junior membership had better be investigated. These junior memberships are the 25-cent variety.
A Red Cross note from Paris: "A property in the Seine Department which, before the war was planned for a garden city, has been offered to the tuberculosis bureau for the duration of the war. It includes three large buildings with gas, electricity and water installed, and more than 110 acres of land. It is to be opened soon with 80 beds and a capacity for 20 or 30 patients. According to Mr. Allen the fight against the white plague is progressing and is having immediate results in France. One can understand it when donations such as these aid the bureau.

Florist:-How do we know what her complexion is?
London children certainly get some quaint views of life. An instance of this recently occurred in an East End Sunday school, where the teacher was talking to her class about Solomon and his wisdom.
She-It may be, but it hasn't come yet.—Brandonian.
WHAT DID SOLOMON SAY?
"When the Queen of Sheba came and laid jewels and fire almament before Solomon what did he say?" she asked presently.
One small girl who had evidently had experience in such matters, promptly replied:
"Ow much d'yer want fer the lot??-"London Opinion.
