U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picte- er more of the life of the University of Kansas; for further than merely picturing the new faculty, he must also verify university hods; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser bends; in all, to serve in the University. TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 1918. Some people make a specialty of kicking every great and good thing from Bible to alfalfa hay. No one can be happy unless he has the power to disregard worries and rise superior to annoyances. It is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a student to enjoy a course he doesn't study. Since the best students in the School of Engineering will be exempted from the draft until the completion of their courses, the question arises as to how near one hundred per cent of a class may be pronounced the "best." A FEW THRIFT STAMPS LEFT FRIENDSHIP FUND PLEDGES This plan of saving is well adapted to students' needs. The post office, however, has not reported a wholesale business in trifft stamps so far. Your government asks you to enter into partnership with it for the purpose of winning this war. In other words, it asks you to save part of your allowance and invest it in thrift stamps. It is not asking you to invest the money you have already saved, but simply to cut down some of your expenditures and loan the money thus saved to your government. Besides getting four per cent compound interest on your investment, you may also learn the habit of thrift. Seventy-four Friendship Fund pledges have been paid since the holidays. If this rate can be maintained, the over-subscribed quota apportioned to the University will soon be collected. This voluntary response since Christmas is especially commendable since it was made without request either public or private. The files in the Registrar's office show, however, that only fifty percent of the pledges have been paid. Most of the outstanding pledges are long over-due, having been made payable at various dates in December. Practically every pledge was due January 1. Social pressure was a large factor in getting the pledges, but this cannot be brought to bear in collecting the money pledged. This money can come only if the givers hold themselves individually responsible. Delay in the matter of paying pledges looks no better and is no better than delay in making subscriptions. Unrequested, many students are attending to this matter and have taken a lead which all should follow. Students who signed their pledges payable on demand should settle immediately. The initiative should be with the student. WARTIME WRITERS One of the most interesting facts CAMPUS PESTS I HAVE SEEN BY LEACH THE CONGENIAL SOUL TO WHOM PROXIMITY IS A FORMAL INTRODUCTION" WHO INVARIABLY VOLUNTEERS A RAFT OF INFORMATION ABOUT HIS HOME TOWN WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO MEMORIZE A CHEM EQUATION OR SOLVE A PROBLEM IN "CALC" brought out by the war is that man and women capable of producing interesting and illuminating magazine articles are not limited to professional writers. The periodicals today are filled with articles by persons who never before have attempted writing either as a livelihood or as a pastime. Almost every person who has gained prominence in war work has written for publication. What he has written has been well written, and only in exceptional cases does the finished product show the marks of inexperience. Any reasonably well educated person can write if he really has something to say. And this ability to write entertainingly does not lie wholly with the prominent. The Kansas papers are filled with letters from soldier boys that are of unusual interest. All this is an argument for education either general or specialized. Sooner or later you will have an opportunity to use it, and the benefit will be yours and the world's. LINE UP! A little problem in arithmetic Last night at 4:15 o'clock the total number of vaccinations for smallpox at the Student Hospital amounted to 143. There are five days left in which students can be vaccinated and still attend the University, according to the order of the health authorities. By multiyulying 143 by five we get 715, the number of vaccinations that will have been made at the present rate January 21. Now, just when are the other 2,000 students, faculty members, and employees to be vaccinated? CAMPUS OPINION Editor Daily Kansan: There are a good many men and women on the Hill who say that the command for all students to be vaccinated will not be enforced. Heretofore, there have been rules made and students, as well as members of the faculty, have escaped their penalty. If this is going to be enforced, absolutely some of us would like to know it, and in that case we will get vaccinated.

POET'S CORNER A QUESTION What do I want of you? you fill The air about me with delight. A power stronger than my will Draws me toward you day and night. And yet I do not ask to press Even your hand in a caress. A power stronger than my will Draws me toward you day Your presence vague and nebulous Moves me as I cross the street; Waits for her to stop. Makes holy ground beneath my feet In every lovely form I pass You shape yourself as in a glass. What do I want of you? I see Your other lovers pine to drain The passion of your ecstacy In kisses desperate as rain. And yet, although I am not blind, Not to that harbor steers my mind —John Cowper Powys. What do I want of you? God konwls! I only know it is too high. Too rare a venture to disclose, Save to the vast and starless sky. Nothing I want, yet when we meet, I think the world hears my heart IN PRAISE OF DULLNESS The dullness of certain clergymen, it is urged, is the supreme exhibit to be found among classes that ordinarily decline to be criticized. The dullness of professors, it seems to me, has a superior claim. If you compare religious periodicals and professors' periodicals you may conclude that the religions are more tediously specialized, but you cannot resist the belief that for concentrated dullness the professors have the equipment to be first. In sociology, philology, histology, philosophy, economics, psychology, they have shown how the brazen pots of the universities can shatter a poorer humanist pottery. Whatever chance there was for the incendiary brain of mankind before professors organized dullness, there is practically none at present. This dullness in education is the last word in the conspiracy against intelligence and puts elitising institutions almost out of harm's way. It is a fine art, dullness. All of us are its involuntary practitioners but some of us are conscious. And no one who loves yesterday and the unearned increments from yesterday can fail to see that, in its judicial evasiveness, its reticence, its muffled solemnity and pretentiousness, dullness continues to be yesterday's warmest friend.—F. H. in the New Republic. "I have come here," said the angry man to the superintendent of the street car line, "to get justice; justice s'r. Yesterday as my wife was getting off one of your cars the corsor stepped on her dress and tore a yard of frilling off her skirt." The superintendent remained cool. "Well sir," he said, "I don't know that we are to blame for that." What do we need us to meet to? Get her a new degree? AN_AWFUL_PENALTY "No, sir, I don't intend to let you off so easily as that," the other man replied griffly. He brandished in his band a piece of silk.
