The Daily Kansan aims to picture the lives of students at University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news from the university; to verifyiversity holds; to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be respectful; to leave more serious problems wiser heads; in all, to serve the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 16, 1918.
Has yours taken yet?
It takes a smart man to keep out of work these days.
A book is like a phonograph. It will talk to you when you want it to talk, and it will keep still when you want it to keep still. In addition to this, it does not bother the neighbors.
Add to the already stupendous list of campus pests the one who does not carry his large note book to class these cold days but borrows pages from yours to take notes on.
WHY THE STEAM ROLLER?
Laying aside entirely the question of whether or not the government is in need of cloth for uniforms for its soldiers, there is no good reason why University students should wear uniforms in imitation of United States soldiers.
It would be about as reasonable to ask us to wear steel helmets in order to show our patriotism.
The uniforms would amount to a laboratory fee of $10 to $15 on a five hour class.
It should be remembered that while students recognize a value in military drill it is only a small part of their day's work and should not throw them out of the normal course of their school activities. Practically every student who might be forced to buy a uniform would also buy his usual number of civilian clothes, statements of certain members of the faculty to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Daily Kansan feels like recommending that the faculty wait until the students show some disposition to adopt uniforms before they add it to the already long list of compulsory rules.
CATALOGUE SEASON
Right now, before you are swamped with final examinations, is the time to dig that school catalogue out from behind your trunk and select your course for next semester. For the fresmen and sophomores the problem will be to choose judiciously from among the many unfamiliar subjects in filling their required number of groups.
Many a man comes to the University in the fall and expects to be well on the way to becoming a corporation lawyer or a bank president or a surgeon in the spring. He is not willing to study anything that he considers outside his field. It was to
The period in which schol work may be elected from a wide field is not without its rewards. How often you hear a man thank his lucky stars that he took some mathematics, or that some one has made him plow through the language group when he had started to shy around it. How often we find that the specialist lacks elementary training in everything but his particular work.
CAMPUS PESTS I HAVE SEEN
BY LEACH
broaden such men and give them a firm foundation that the group system was devised.
But while a University man should know something about a great many subjects he should know a great deal about one subject. This specializing work is usually left until the last two years in school. When a student strikes his pace in some work he likes, he should "clean up" in it. Concentration and intensive work should make him a leader in his field.
If you are a junior or senior when
are you going to start "cleaning up"
n your chosen subjects?
HOW YOU CAN HELP
You do not need to be a millionaire in order to help the government. If the non-essential things which dig holes in a student's pocketbook were more closely censored, he could invest in a miniature government bond.
The money that invested not only would serve in winning the war, but would bear four per cent compound interest for five years. Besides giving financial aid, the student in buying a bond signifies that he is squarely behind the government and the fighting forces of the nation.
A trip to Kansas City cannot be made for less than $5; a War Savings Stamp costs $4.12. A motion picture ticket cost seventeen cents; a Thrift Stamp twenty-five. A student cannot afford to let trivial things keep him from making so small and yet so important a service to his country. Every Baby Bond means $4.12 worth of resistance built up against the Central Powers. The University Post Office sells them.
"No loyal citizen of this country can afford to spend a dollar for wasteful luxuries." Cardinal Gibbons.
There is no higher praise that can be bestowed upon a soldier or sailor of the Republic than to say that he served his country faithfully and trusted in his God.—Robert Lansing.
Dr. Hills says the trouble with immigrants is that they do not settle in the right places. Bill collectors will probably be able to show that the native born have the same falling—Washington Post.
When a pretty girl feels airy she should talk to one of the old settlers who will mention some very plain old woman and say, "In the early days she was a beauty."—Miss Garside.
Your Daily Quiz On University History
Question: How long has Chancellor Strong been in office?
Answer: Chancellor Strong was installed October 18, 1902, after installation ceremonies lasting a week. He came to the University from the chancellorship of the University of Oregon. Previous to that he had been an undergraduate day, the Chancellor was a taton on the Yale Eagle Club.
Chancellor Strong has published several books on historical subjects, and is a magazine contributor. Among the books he has written are, "Life of Benjamin Franklin" and "The Expedition." "A Forgotten Danger to the New England Colonies," and "Government of the American People."
POET'S CORNER
There are many kinds of hate, as many kinds of fire;
RIGHTEOUS WRATH
And some are fierce and fatal with murderous desire;
And some are mean and craven, revengeful, selfish, slow.
And yet there is a hatred that purifies the heart.
They hurt the man that holds them more than they hurt his foe.
Against the false and wicked, against the tvrant's sword.
The anger of the better against the baser part.
O cleansing indignation, O flame of righteous wrath.
Against the enemies of love, and all that hate the Lord.
O give me a soul to see thee and follow in thy path!
Save me from selfish virtue, arm me for fearless fight.
And give me strength to carry on,
soldier of the Right:
—Henry van Dyke.
TO WIN THIS WAR
It may be that if the wheatless days that Hoover has begged America to observe had been the fashion two months earlier than they were Italy would have withstood the German thrust. No man can say that we are in danger that he is right. But there are men in Washington and Rome who think so.
Wheat and meat and sugar and fat!
These four will win the war—or lose it.
Which? That is for you to say.
In England, France, Italy, Germany—all over Europe, even among the neutrals—whole people are on rations.
They secure their scanty supplies on a card system.
Here in America we have no bread and sugar cards. We may have them soon. Congress has the power to put us all on rations. And make no mistake. If that power must be used to win the war it will be used. This is a day in which precedents have no meaning and no value. But the United States Food Administration, and Hoover, its head, do not want to come to that. They want Americans to go to war, but has been a feature of their daily life. They want Americans to voluntarily save meat and wheat and sugar and fat, to the end that from our abundance we may send across the ocean food enough to sustain our armies and the armies and the peoples of those who are leagged with us in this war—Almon Wolff in Colliers.
Statistics recently compiled show that nearly half of the college students of New England have taken up a kind of war work. Out of the 20,000 students in the twenty New England colleges, 5,249 joined the colors immediately and 3,000 went into agriculture and other branches of war work.-Columbia Spectator.
It is a good safe rule to sojourn in every place as if you meant to spend your life there, never omitting an opportunity of doing a kindness or speaking a true word or making a friend.—John Ruskin.
